compass of voice that reaches from q

would finally corner him in this locality,
as Meisse has been engaged in some
very crooked, financial matters by which
he has become possessed Of large sums
o. money. Some Of this was placed in
Mir or county and Meisse's lifting it
brought him hither and led to his detec

i'm Of her children and homestead,
when she will leave him. Meisse is held
awaiting further evidence d papers
by which he can be returned to the

Press OF convention business prevent
ed US from hearing DR.. Carlos Martyr
on tie issues Of the day at the opera
house last night except a small part Of
his address at the closing. The Doctor
is a polished gentleman and a finished
orator, witty in his play upon words and
keeps his audience, which in tn. 8 in
stance was small, in good humor. The part
Of his argument we heard was ~allusion to
life insurance companies paying bene-
f~iciaries of policy holders so cents on
the dollar if free silver carried. Why
republicans should parade this dishonest
intent Of insurance companies SO much
is more than we can understand. These
companies have been so | ng in the bust
ness of taking from a half to t%wo-thirds
Of all that policyholders have paid into
them that We presume it will be an
easy step for them to get down to pay
ing so cents on the dollar under the ex-
cuse that free silver did it. We have
some reliable statistics on the way these
insurance companies do business and it
is SO much like the practice Of gold syn
dicates in bleeding the people, that
when We have more time and space at
our command We shall take pleasure in
giving a few figures:
