terday. Common council will never
accede to this demand while the pres
ent political conditions exist, but there
are other means of bringing about the
desired result and we propose to adopt
those means. 1t Is just and proper
that councils should receive a report
from the treasurer or any other official
when 1t sees fit to ask for 1t, and 1t
comes with very bad grace for any
official to oppose request for informa-
tion concerning his department
This movement has no politics con-
nected with 1t. 1t was begun before a
city treasurer was elected, and would
have passed had not the result of the
election been foreshadowed. When the
Democrats at that time defeated the
project they received notice that 1t
would come up again and now it Is on.
You can say for me that it will not

the auspices of the Eleventh Ward
Mckinley club. DR.. A. ]. KOlb Is presi-
dent of the club and he acted as chair
man of the meeting. In presenting the
speakers the doctor made q brief ad-
dress, outlining the duty of every Re-
publican in this campaign to be an ear
nest and hearty supporter Of the ticket
from top to bottom.
Hon. Frank T. Okell was the first
speaker, and he handled the currency
question In a mastery way, bringing
out the fallacies Of the silver argu-
ments clearly and artistically. Mr..
Okelrs tribute to William Connell was
greeted with enthusiastic applause and
the mention Of Alex Connell's name was
similarly received, as well as was that
of the other local candidates. There is
no question from the sentiment express
sed what support the ticket will re-
Ceive In that district.
Attorney Z. X. Hall was the second
speaker, and he confined himself more
to a discussion of the tariff question.
His language was simple, yet eloquent
and entertaining. He answered the ar
guments Of free silver agitators. At
Mr.. Halls mention Of the candidates
on the local ticket there was renewed
enthusiasm.

In opening the meeting remarks were
made by President George w. Evans

upon to deliver an address on the
money question. 1t was a clear and
lucid exposition of the evils that would
follow in the wake Of the free coinage
of silver. He expressed his willingness
to answer any question that might be
asked him, and many of his hearers
took advantage Of the opportunity to
secure information on phases of the
subject that were not entirely clear to
them. Short addresses were after
wards made by Secretary James Gleas-
on and Messrs. Foote, Beynon, Kramer
and Jones. The club expects to make a
big showing in next Tuesday nights

silver orator down to facts is, why
was this very small fraction left off the
ratio?" ''Why not have used the
much more convenient ratio l6 to L."
They will usually beat about the
bush" for long time, but in the end,
II held tightly enough to The question,
have to admit il was because 'the
fathers" knew by former experience
that ii was impossible to float the two
metals at a parity if they varied in
even so infinestimal a fraction, and
what would they have said of the idea
or good business sense OF attempting
TO float them at the ration of l6 to
when the ratio is about 80 to |, and as
for Mr.. Blaine, we have clear state
ment of his standing upon such prop
osition when in Congress, he twice cast
his vote and made one of the great
speeches of his life against the free
coinage of silver at such ratio say
ing that a silver dollar would be in
trinsically worth but 80 cents, and that
to pass such law would be to rob the
workingman and would give to the sill

eight cents on each dollar.

Ed. Bailey and wife were guests of

Friday and Saturday. They fished for
bass at Smyrna, Friday and for pick
erel at Murray lake, Saturday having
fine luck. While at Smyrna Ed. took
tumble to himself in casting a fly
from boom and the displacement OF
water from its natural level in fiat
river caused an overflow of the banks
washing high up on dry ground crabs,
turtles stone-rollers, bull-heads and
other kinds of fish in large quantities.
The people of the burg thought cy-
clone had struck causing a tidal wave
and rushed down to the banks in great
numbers, being relieved of their con-
sternation only when they saw Ed.
emerge from the water dripping from
head to foot. His wife transferred her
care of their son John to its papa dur
ing the rest OF their outing being salts
fled that Ed. needed looking after
more than the kid.

We prognosticate that if more people
would emulate the example of the
clam, shut up and think, it would be
infinitely better for themselves as we'll
as their friends. Then, too, they
would get the credit Of knowing some
thing. 1t isn't the loudest talker nor
the biggest buffer that convinces the
most people. On the contrary, both OF
them invite distrust. Quiet arguments
gain more converts than bluster.
Earnestness and sincerity seem more
inherent to the low-voiced orator than
to a rampant demagogue.
