Mr.. Bryan the most of his reception

Populists, the silverites, ct al, all
come to hear them. In reciprocity,
show what the Republican and sound

E0N. A. G. DAYTON.
Dayton's Night at the Central
Guerra House.

LaSt SATURDAY ulgHG large aud
fence assembled at the Central Opera
House TO hear Hon. A. G.. Dayton
Republican nominee for Congress
from this district, speak to his con-
stituents The crowd was not only
large, but enthusiastic, and heard all
the speakers with intereslej thought
and frequent applause. The plat
form was erected at the lett centre
of the building, and above and
around it hung festoons and bou-
quets OF beautiful golden rod, en-
blematic OF the Republican faith in
a sound currency. The Mechanics
Band furnished the music, and its
patriotic strains eDthused the peo-
pie. Surmounting the rear of the
platform were handsome pictures OF
Mckinley and Hobart, the next
chief officers of the nation.
Hon. George Meade Bowers pre-
sided over the meeting, and, while
no one expected Bowers to make a
speech, bis graceful introduction OF
Mr.. Dayton was happily put and
called forth the first burst of APP
plause. Mr.. Dayton's introductory
remarks, thanking the ladies who as
sisted iu trimming so beautifully
with golden rod, at once eaptivated
the fair sex, many of whom were
present. His speech was clear and
forctble one, and delivered with his
well rounded and modulated voice
that neither tired the speaker nor
the people, who would have gladly
listened an hour longer to him.
Pressing upon the people the state
of facts as we now fad them, ard
as they were four years sgo, he pre-
sented powerful argument against
the past Democratic regime, and the
theories now agitated by the free
silverites. When he concluded the
cries of applause were long and con-
tinued. Then came clamoring for
"Pitzer,' "Our Grant, and he made
speech that differed from any we
have yet heard him deliver. He
showed up some of the great incon-
sistencies Of the leaders of the
Berkeley Democracy, and especially
the course of Senator Faulkner. We
never tire of hearing Grant, and not
only his oratory, but his clean polit-
ical record and faithful performance
of public duty will, without the least
doubt, call him again as the public's
officer.
For Mr.. Dayton, his series of
speeches in Berkeley county, (Sa,-
urday night was the last of the SER
ies) have won for him many friends
and warm political advocates who
have heretofore half determined to
vote against him. "Ee has met
them and they are his"

In recent letter to the manufac-
turers, Mr.. w. F. Benjamin, editor Of
the Spectator, Rushford, N. Y, says:
at may be a pleasure to you to know
the high esteem in which Chamber
lain's medicines are held by the peo-
pie OF your own State, where they
must be known. An aunt Of mine,
who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was
about to visit me few years since,
and before leaving home wrote me,
asking il they were sold here, stating
If they were not che would bring q
quantity with her, as she did not like
to be without them.' The medicines
referred to are Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, famous for its cures Of
colds and Group; Chamberlain s
Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame
back, pains In the side and chest
and Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Dlarrhoca Remedy for bowel
complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use in Iowa for al
most q quarter of century. The
people have learned that they are
articles Of great worth and merit,
and unequaled by any other. They
are for sale here by L. G.. Matthsei,
Druggist.

NO KIcK.

The attempt of the Statesman to
make the editor OF the INDEPENDENT
liable for the sound currency people
who are really Democrats, and oftbc
regular kind, is rot mistake but q
question that belongs to every gentle
man who chooses to make his or
their sentiments plain to the people.
AS to John Henshaw. we have had
no conversation with him. AS to
whether he swallowed any dose of
Republicanism, including the negro
domination in the South, we have
no knowledge. Certainly he has not
swallowed the miserable fraud pro-
posed by the editor of the States
man. In that he has not shown him
self to be grasshopper, like the
editor Of the Statesman, who was a
sound currency man until after he
abandoned the men who made him
postmaster, and attempted to stand
with two feet on their platform. Mr..
Henshaw knows better. The editor
of the Statesman, by his very posi-
ton, by the salary he has been
drawing, and by Cleveland, by
whom he was appointed, and who he
has abandoned, should have full
knowledge as to the currency, and
we'll understand that he is the rene
gade and not Mr.. Henshaw. There
is not any ostracism of father or
grandfather by carpet baggers, and
all that is huge joke, and only seen
in a dream by the editor of the
Statesman. We have not talked with
Mr.. Henshaw, and do not have him
under our wing. We suggest to the
editor, as he has possibly learned,
that Mr.. Henshaw owns and runs
himself. He knows what is right,
and he is doing it. He is not pro-
tege. He and Mr.. Ingles are both
capable of caring for their standing
in the community and their political
affairs. This dose should do you.
Don't kick again Mr.. Statesman.

Az y VIZ
II the Democrats or their discon.
ISOLATE party have an orator or can

as they desire, seek the candidate.
They are going to McKinley's home,
and the people are doing that for
right. They seek the man, and there
is no necessity Of an itinerancy on
wheels. Bryan will be picked in
brine. His speeches are worthless.
His effort is to try to make a man
believe he will give him q dollar.
The truth is, every man has to earn
his own dollar, and then do with it
as he desires. "Fiat" may do for
the fellow who does not want to pay,
but the other fellow says come down,
give me hundred cents for dollar,
and there is "fiat'' in that. 1t will

phere, that the vocal chords and the

simply a perfunctory, untelling and
unintelligible effort. Weattended and
looked for better knowledge, but did
not get it. Mr.. Bryan may be

made votes against himself. We are
sorry for him, although, without his
speech, we would, in behalf of the
working people and our country,
vote against him. Time now for the
people to stop agitation and have
settled government. 1t is as hard
work to get crust of bread as it is
to get piece of silver. The "crown
of thorns and the cross ofgold" may
suit for deceptive purpose, but We
do not want the deception of Judas
Iscariot with it in silver.

BRYAN AT MARTINsBURG.
His Speech a Disappointment to
the Many Who Game to
Hear Him.

Hoa. Wm. b. bryan. tie Demo
cratic nominee for President. made
short visit and a short speech at
Martinsbnrg, on Wednesday. 1t
was about 1870 o. NJ. when the
special train, which had heeu furnish
ed him, arrived, and he was met at
the depot By crowd of enthusiasts,
placed in the buggy which awaited
him, and driven at once TO the G.. v.
x. r. freight depot, where plat
form had been erected faciDg the
commons, which was the only place
large enough to accommodate the
large crowd which assembled to hear
him. Early in the morning crowds
began to arrive, and by ten o'clock
the city's streets were filed with
people anxious to get glimpse oi
Presidential possibility There were
adoat badges of all kinds, pictures of
Bryan, silver decorations, and even
the motto, Don't tread on me 3 and
it would not be tair to omit the mod
est little yellow ribbon with McKtn-
ley aud Hobart on it. When the
buggy carrying Bryan passed from
the depot to the platform and up the
street, there was perfect jam Of
people, especially ladies, to see the
candidate. He assembled the plat
form and as.he did go mighty shout
greeted him.
In all candor to Mr.. Bryan, his
speech was a disappointment to the
many who came to hear him. He
was hoarse from constant talking,
and his remarks were not heard by
one fourth of the people. He began
with a TRADE on the "Gold Demo-
Gratis" and did more to injure his
cause than to help it. He said that
when they left the Democratic party
he "wanted them to 60, never TO re-
turn until they came back in sack.
cloth and ashes.' His attempt to
array the masses against the classes
was the poorest effort we have heard,
and the few feeble cheers that he re-
ceived, outside of the "rock-ribbed'
Democracy of Jefferson county, by
no means infused him with an idea
that he had struck chord of tender
sympathy in Martinsburg or Berke-
ley county. The attendance includ-
ing all told, was about 1000 people,
certainly not over 5000.
