THE DRUMMER THAT Is NOT ON THE
ROAD.
BY w. p. Pack.

The drummer that never has sorrow or
pain.
And cares not whether he sells any
goods,
And stops on his way home to see some
other mans wife
When he could see his own just as good.
The drummer that never waited on train.
And one that was in every night,
And one that could not manufacture a
smile
In order to show his customer what he
might
The drummer that sold any goods
If he was honest with his fellow man,
Nor one that could not tell a funny joke
Whenever it stood him in hand.
Nor one that would not firt with the girls.
When the flirts he would meet in the
Nor one that would walk mile in the rain
In order such girls for to meet.
The drummer that never stood in the Gus
Waiting with patience for the bill which
was due,
Making the customer believe all the time
He was only waiting for him TO get
through.
The drummer that never wanted to get
home
After trip of three or four weeks.
And one that would not greet his wife with
And love her just say to speak.
The drummer that is met by the house
with a band
When he comes in from a trip.
When this is done there will be lots of fun
Among the boys that carry the grip.
SOME THAT ARE ON THE ROAD.
Now there is Bill Caldwell, the oldest of
us all,
Who is still on the road yet.
He makes lots Of fun when across him
But he stin waits on the ship.
Now there Is Sam MCGUIRE. whom we all
Because Til,t' he he is full of his wit.
But he will soon be done with the troubles
of one.
For he viii be married yet.
There's C. c. Knight. whom long since
Because he was hungry and sore.
He is now settled down in this small
And has started himself a paint store.
Now there is Jack Mathews, whom we will
elect
To 20 to the Senate of this state
He viii have TO get a move on himself
ANU l4Ol stay OAl A4uAtI ~ 4tAN's
There Sam Wilson Booher sells candy and
cheese.
And thinks he is superior TO all.
But I've seen the time I've sold more Of
mine
Than any steamboat could ever haul.
There is Billy st. Clair whom I do de-
Sells pills all over this State,
And a man pays cash for Willie's goods
or he will not have his name on his
slate.
Now there is Billy Gray.
Who did not stay on the road very long.
But sold all kinds of ware for Simon Baer.
And their friendship, as ever, Is strong.
Now there is McGinners sells hats of the
finest
He travels for Wheeling hat store.
He sold last year so I hear,
Seventy thousand, or more.
Now there is lots of the boys I have not
told YOU about.
Nor could | if 7 was to write for year.
But hope we will all meet on the Golden

And not always live down here.

Mckinley on Silver in 1891.

On the 18th of February, 1891 he thus
expressed himself on the subject in
speech at Toledo:
During all of Grover Clevelanfs
years at the head Of the government he
was dishonoring one Of our precious
metals. one Of our own great products,
degrading silver and raising the price
Of gold. He endeavored even before his
Inauguration to office to stop the coin
age of silver dollars. and afterward and
20 the end Of his administration persist
entity used his power to that end. He
was determined TO contract the circu-
Iatine medium and to demonetize one OF
the coins OF commerce, limit the volume
Of money among the people, make money
scarce and, therefore, dear. He would
have increased the value OF money and
diminished the value Of everything
else"

SENATOR DAVIS'S REMARKS,
Introducing Mr. Bryan at the Big Meeting
at keyser.

at keyser.
The following Introductory address,
delivered by ex-senator Davis at the big
keySer meeting, should have been sent
by wire, bu, through a misunderstand-
ing, the Registers correspondent mailed
the report.
Mr.. Davis, as chairman Of the meet
ing, introduced the coming President as
follows
This vast multitude of people speaks
we'll for good government, Democratic
principles and the success Of Bryan and
the double standard.
Il am told that men in the employ Of
'yhe railroad and mining companies with
which l am connected fear discharge II
they vote the Democratic C.cket. jNerF
man in the employ OF any railroad
cCal or Other company, mas u rlgnC 20
voc rs he thinks proper. and so far as
/ am concerned | viii aid and protect
him i'm voting for the man of his choice.
If any man is discharged for political
reason by a company with which l am
connected, l nope he will let me know.
They say Bryan is from the far West.
and talks TOO much about the rights OF
said about Jefferson, Jackson and Lin
cOln-yet each was twice elected, and
made model President.
Republicans say Bryan lacks eXper-
ience and IS too young TO be President.
Pitt perhaps the greatest minister Eng
land mas ever had, was at the head Of
the English government before he was
thirty. Alexander Hamilton, one of the
ableSt men of this or any other country.
was aid and companion of Washington
at twenty-five, and was made Secretary
OF the Treasury at thirty-two. Jeffer-
son wrote the Virginia bin of rights at
thirty, and the Declaration of Independ-
ence a, th.rty-three. Alexander the
Great conquered the world at twenty
five. Napoleon, the greatest Of Euro
pean Generals, won many victories be-
fore he was twenty-five, and ruled
France and most Of Europe at thirty.
l believe the government, the inter-
eSts Of the business man, the farmer,
the miner, wOrkingman, and all others
viii be safe in the care and charge OF
Bryan. The election of Mckinley
means gold standard less money for the
use OF the people, and continuation Of
hard times. The election of Bryan
means the double standard Of gold and
silver, more money and better TIMES.
Wages are better in this country than
In any gold standard country, and twice
as much as in some gold countries.
Republicans say no more coinage of
silver. There is but little gold in circu-
lation. and but few people now see a
gold piece. Silver is in general circula-
ton. and we ought to keep it in use.
A few months ago the Republicans
carried high heads and said they had a
'walk-over.' Now they are on the anx-
ious bench wringing their hands and
crying what shall we co to be saved
from silver and Bryan.
l now present to you the abe and
pure man from the West, whom l be
ieye viii be our next President.
