In Memortam.

Margene. infant daughter of VIM. H.
and Martha F. Shepherd, was born Feb.
ruary 81, 1895, and died August 20, 1895,
aged six months and two days.
She was . bright child, and during
her short life made sunshine in the
home and endeared herself to all.
Her sickness very early assumed such
q character as to battle all medical skill
and affection so freely lavished upon
her; and to shut out from the anxious
parents all signs Of recognition, except .
single smile for one moment.
The bereaved friends may find com.
fort in the assurance of meeting her
again beyond the river"
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Heber D. Ketcham, at the home,
Monday afternoon.
The remains were inferred in the
Dunn's Chapel cemetery.
''Grieve not with hopeless sorrow,
Jesus has felt your pain
BE did thy lamb but borrow,
He'll give her back again."
We desire to express our thanks to
our friends and neishbors who 10 kindly
assisted rs in the sickness and death Of
our child,
Nh AND MRs W. II. SHEPHERD.

MANLEY AGAINST GOLD.
A Letter of His in Which HeDeclared
For Bimetallism.


Denver. Colo. Oct. 20.-The Rocky
Mountain News prints correspondence
between j. M Downing of Colorado and
j. I'll. Marley of Maine in july, 1873, TO
show that the latter gentleman was at
that time opposed to the single gold
standard.
Mr.. Downing's letter was written Ju-
" p, and was prompted by an inter
view printed in the Lewiston, Me,
Journal, July IS, in which Mr.. Manley
said that to repeal the Sherman law
and stop there, would mean financial
ruin to the country.
Mr.. Downing in his letter submitted
to Mr.. Manley that the action of q ma
jority of the Republican members of
congress in supporting President CleVe-
lands efforts to secure the repeal of
the Sherman law, was alternating the
Republicans Of the states west of the
Missouri and he asserted that without
their aid the Republican party could
never again hope to gain the ascendan-
cy in the nation He asked if some
thing could not be done to reclaim the
disamected Republicans Of the silver
states. Mr.. Manley replied as follows.
Augusta, Me. July 81. 1S93.-HOn. j.
NJ Downing. Denver. Colo-Sir.-I am
in receipt of your letter of the 22d inst,
and I thank you sincerely for the com
planetary words it contains i send
you fun copy of the interview and i
propose to put myself right on this
question, whether the Republican party
does or not. i agree with you fully as
to what ought to be done, but rhlnk
it was a great mistake for the silver
states to have gone against the Repub-
lican party at the last national cleo
ton. While the Republican party has
not taken the position on this question,
which I wish it had one thing is sure,
you never win get any help from the
Democratic party, and If any party
does take the right position on this
question. it viii be the Republican par
ty The Democratic party never was
and never will be a party of progress.
Our people must be educated on this
question and we must. as a matter of
right and policy, establish our own
financial policy and force the greater
nations Of the world to double stand
either of gold or silver is a thing of
the past. Sincerely yours,
I Il MA NJ .ElY-
