When General Grant had captured Rich

A HAUGHVILLE TEST.
Rival Meetings at Which the Repub-
1icans Trium phed.

Judge George w. Grubbs. of Martins
Vile, discussed the political issues in the
Haughville Town Hall last night and the
hall was crowded with very enthusiastic
audience. The speaker held the peoples
attention for two hours, giving them many
facts in a cuccinct manner. 1t was
mixed audience and cheer after cheer
greeted the undeniabe truths told by the
speaker.
AS soon as the free-silver Democrats of
the suburb heard of the intended meeting
they began hustling around and inaugur-
ated a free-silver meeting for the same
night. Their meeting was to be held over
John G. Weinbrechts saloon in Wein-
brecht's Hall. Before the meeting there
was rupture among the Democrats
themselves, caused by the appointment of
Bruce as secretary by the county commit
tee, one faction holding that he was not
a competent man for the position, while
the other believed that he was. One fac
ton is known as Tammany and the other
crowd separated from their colleagues,
and, securing r. F. Stuart as speaker, had
be held at Maennerchor Hail at the cor
ner of Michigan and Warman streets also
last night. The meetings We're both called
to order, but at the Maennerchor Hall

thus turning the victory to their rivals
With the combined forces of the two fac
tons there was only about a third as
many people in attendance at the free
silver meeting as there were at the sound
money meeting in the Town Hail. and
Haughville is reputed to be Democratic
town.
Stuart gave the silverites lengthy talk
The talk was SO dry that many of the
listeners were obliged to leave the hall
and adjourn to the bar below to be

The meeting was to have been held at s

FOR THE NOTIFICATION.
A Large Crowd Will Go to Louisville
This Morning from Here

The National Democrats of Indianapolis
propose to make quite showing at Louis
vile tonight at the Palmer and Buckner
meeting. There will be more than two
hundred people taking advantage of the
excursion rate of 81. Those intending to go
are requested to meet at the Denison at
lis this afternoon and march to the Union
Station, where special train will be wait
ing to leave at o'clock. The tickets
will be good to return the
special or on any regular train Sunday
or Monday. Chairman Bynum of the ma
tional committee. will go down this
morning. The When Band will accompany
the excursion.
The National Democratic State committee
will meet next Friday to issue the call for
the various congressional conventions
which will be held the latter part of the
month. It will also probably determine to
nominate legislative candidates in all or
nearly all of the legislative districts of
the State. The question of putting a State
ticket in the field will also be finally deter
mined. With the present disrupted state
of the Popocratic organization, politicians
do not regard it as a matter of very great
consequence whether the National Demo-
Gratis put State ticket in the field or not.

The Coast Seamen's Journal is the organ

issued as a supplement a pamphlet called
The Red Record, which gives a partial
list of the cases of actual violence on ship
board by officers which have come to its
attention. Fourteen of the cases cited hap
pened on board of ships belonging to Ar
thur Sewau & Co. One of the most cruel
of the offenders, and one whose name APP
pears in more than one case, is a relative
of Arthur SewaIl, the Democratic candi-
date for Vice President. The Journal, in
commenting on these cases, says tlNat Mr..

after they have been before shipping COM

BAD FOR FREE-TRADE ORGANS.

Democratic papers are printing the lam
entation of one Dickinson regarding the
loss of value in agricultural products in
1898 compared with 1891. Corn sold for
40,6 cents in 1891" he says, land for 20.4
cents in 1896 In 1891 he goes on, "the
average price of wheat $50 cents, and
in 1896 it averaged only 40.6 cents In this
manner the Bryan jeremiah goes through
with the whole list of farm products.
In the first place, if this Walter T. Dick
inson has got into the Sentinel correctly,
he is a victim of the Bryan habit of mis-
quoting, or, to the plain and forceful
language of the late Horace Greeley into
the habit of lying. What he says of the
prices of corn and wheat in 1891 is correct,
but what he says of the prices of both for
1895 is false. He probably took his figureS
from page 29S of the Statistical Abstract of
the United States, issued under the direc-
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury. Now,
for the year 1895 was 26.4 cents, instead of
20.4 cents discrepancy of six cents
busheI may appear a trifie, but it is not
when, by the Dickinson price, nearly five
bushels will bring but a dollar while con-
sderably less than four actually sold for
that price. The farmer can recognize the
difference. The Dickinson price of wheat
for 1895 is 40.6 cents, but the price in the
official table from which he was taking
figures is 500 cents. The Bryan writer has
put the price of wheat 25 per cent. less than
it actually was. This is sample of what
the Bryan writers and speakers are doing
every day when they refer to facts. 1t was
what Coin Harvey did all through his
book AS matter of fact, corn was high
er in 1894 than it was from 1875 to 1881, both
years inclusive, because the crop of that
year was one of the smallest. In fact, from
except in five years.
Mr.. Dickinson. whoever he may be,
makes an unfortunate comparison when
he uses 1891 and 1895 for the free-trade
papers like the Sentinel who use his three
column jeremads. The year 1891 was one
of the fiood-tide years of prosperity under
the Mckinley law. The year following the
people of the United States consumed 1885,
1875, 724 bushels of wheat. Under the pinch
caused by the stoppage of factories in 1894
they consumed but 232. SO, 6S3 bushels, and
the year following, by feeding much to
hogs 316, 3l4, sos bushels. That is. during
the two years of the Cleveland regime the
people consumed 224,3i5,102 bushels less of
wheat than they would if they had kept up
with the figure of 1882. The surplus of
22i, 900. 600 bushels was imported to add to
the ample stocks of wheat in the markets
of the world to beat down the prices. If
that quantity of wheat had been consumed
ut home during 1891 and 1895 it is quite prob
able that the price would have been up to
the price of 1892 Deprived OF employment
