FREELAND, PA, OCTOBER %, 1896

Samuel A. Davenport, the Republican
candidate for congresSman-at-large, in
speech at Erie on October II. 1896, said
What you workingmen want to under
stand is that your employers are your
brains.
Canstany free American citizen read
such sentiment as that without feeling
moved to the deepest indignation? Re
buke that man by your votes at the polls

Democratic County Chairman Freas
has booked thrty-seyen meetings for
this week. This number does not in
clude rallies arranged by district candi-
dates or local clubs. The total list
shows that over fifty Democratic meet
ings will be held in Luzerne before next
Sunday. The number of speakers, eX-
cluding those who come from outside
the county, is siXty-seyen, and of these
eleven are Republicans who never voted
the Democratic ticket. 1t is somewhat
odd to hear of men addressing Demo-
cratic rallies with names like II. w.
Evans G.. A. Edwards. C. l.. Robbins,
etc, but such is the case, and these
converts are doing great work for the
whole ticket.

Everywhere throughout the fourth
legislative district good news is heard
of Matt Longs prospects. He is putting
up one Of the gamest fights that the dis
trct has known for years, and the
results of his hard work will show up on
the night of November 3. The people
of lower Luzerne can rest assured that
every measure proposed in the Iegsla-
ture will receive the careful attention of
their representative if Matt Long is
elected.

rumor was current early Saturday
morning that Bryan was assassinated
while ADDRESSING an audience in Illinois.
Fortunately, it was only rumor, but
if it had been the truth it would not
have surprised some of his friends. The
torrents OF abuse, yituperation and
falsehoods which have been poured out
against this man by the gold press of
the nation have been sufficient to in
flame weak-minded people to commit
such an act, and that his tour passed off
without personal injury can only be
attributed to the fact that the public in
general believes that the gold press has
lied and is lying every day about the
candidate

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, October %, 1s9,

Washington, October %, 1896.
bryan will be elected, emphatcally
declared Senator Butler, chairman of
the PopuliSt national committee; ''the
information received by me this week
has made this absolutely sure in my
mind. The Bryan tide which started in
Michigan and Minnesota ten days ago
and made those states certain, instead
of doubtful. reached Illinois this week
and now that state can also be put down
in the certain column" This language
is considered very significant in Wash
ington, because Senator Butler has been
so very careful in expressing his con
dence and in making claims that some
over-cnthusiaStic Democrats have been
inclined to accuse him of being luke
warm in the support of Mr.. Bryan. Mr.
Butler is young man and he did not
care to endanger his future political
prestige by making claims until he had
cacefully gone over the field and ascer-
tanned to his own satisfaction just what
the real situation was. This he has
done, and the result is his announce
ment that Bryan will be elected All
the information received by Democrats
points to the correctness of Senator
Buffers announcement.

A gentleman who is an old personal
friend of Mr.. Bryan's said, speaking of
the Republican assertion that the Demo-
cratic national committee made a speci
fc charge in cash for Mr. Bryan's
speeches and that those towns that did
not put up the money were passed by:
Il haven't the slightest hesitation in
pronouncing that story to be a lie,
although it is probable that some rep
reSentative of the national committee
may have passed around the hat among
Democrats in towns that have been
visited by Mr.. Bryan, as the committee
has had to resort to all sorts of schemes
to raise money to keep the campaign
going and has at no time had all that it
might have used legitimately and pro-
Iitably. Mr. Bryan is poor man and
were it not for the personal contribu
tions made direct to him would probably
lind himself lacking for ready money
quite often"

a. II. Plumb son of the late Sena-
tor Plumb, of Kansas, has just come
from that state, of which he says:
"Kansas will unqucstionably give its
electoral vote to Bryan. My reason for
the statement is based on personal
observation gained by extensive travel
throughout the state. The fusion of
the silver forces will be kept intact, and
there can be no doubt as to the result.
| think that his majority will not be less
than 10000 and it may reach much
higher figures. business often leads me
to visit Nebraska, which | am satisfied
can be put down as surely for Bryan as
Kansas is. The conditions in the two
states are practically the same, and free
silver is as strong in one as the other.

The Democrats of the county never
had a better opportunity in the past
four years to sweep Luzcrne than they
hSye this year. All that is required is
to get the regular party vote out.
There are enough independent Rcpubli-
cans with MS this year to overcome all
opposition that the other side can
muster. Get the full Democratic vote
to the polls, and the whole ticket goes
in. Luzernc is county that is specially
interested in the policy outlined by the
Chicago platform, and every candidate
is standing squarely upon it.

Postmaster General Wilson, who eXer-
cises the privilege of campaigning de-
MED by him to his subordinates, has not
met with the enthusiastic reception that
was predicted for him in West Virginia.
Republicans there have not forgotten
his bitter denunciation Of the Republi-
can party, and Gold Democrats are as
scarce as hens teeth in that state.
While soliciting the farmers votes in
1890 Mr. Wilson occupied position
quite the reverse of that he now takes.
and to prove this, extracts from free
silver letter written by Mr.. Wilson on
September 20, 1890, has been printed.

Things have been very lively around
the Washington headquarters of the a.
p. A., this week, owing to the numerous
and very vigorous protests which have
been sent to the national officers of that
organization, against the distribution of
the A. p. A. circular which attacks Mr.
Bryan and attempts to array the organ
ization on the side of Mckinley. But
the circulars are still being sent out.
Mark Hanna has bought the goods and
the officers of the A. p. A. are doing
their best to deliver them. However.
President Traynor's declaration for
Bryan is quite a stumbling block in
carrying out this deal.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible and under such strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness, until it was question whether he had not better take dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when say free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience.
 I am not philanthropist, nor dc pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the information, but send for it and learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get, they are worth fortune to some men, and mean lifetime of happiness to most of us.
