evening of the Third. A large number
from Spring Valley, State Line and Phoebe
were present. The music was furnished by
the State Line string band. AT two in the
afternoon bountiful repast was laid ont
under the grand old shade trees in front Of
Charles Lytle's residence, and soon every
one was busily engaged in satisfying the
inner man. After the picnic delightful
programme was rendered by the band. The
rest of the afternoon was given up to
athletics. Messrs. Allison and John Lytle
gave fine exhibition of pole vaulting, and
Mr.. Charles Lytle Jr.'s performance on the
slack wire was exceedingly good.
Another dance followed in the evening.
During its progress it was noticed that
evening strolls were quite the proper thing.
When the Spring Valley party was ready tc

ladies was missing. The stage waited FOL

MoKinley's Dollar

Mckinley in his response to Thurston's
speech, formally notifying him of his nomi-
nation for President, said;
"The dollar paid to the farmer, the wage.
Garner and the pensioner must continue for
ever equal in purchasing and debt-paying
power to the dollar paid to any government
creditor"
The Sacramento Bee makes the following
comment:
THAT is exactly what che people de-
mand; and that is exactly what the platform
Of che Republican party does not propose to
give, and what Maj. Mckinley thoroughly
knows it does not propose to give, The
silver dollar is the dollar Of the poor man.
The "silger cranks" want it "equal in par
chasing and debt paying power to the dollar
paid to any government creditor" But the
men who controlled the recent Republican
National Convention do not. 1t is they
who are still talking about dollar stamped
with the faith and credit of 10000, 900 peo'
pie as ''6fty.cent dollar"
