United States TO keep Their gold Is 10

two cuttings from Cornuschl, VINO was

ai.ism as against gold monometalhsm.
Furthermore l believe that the Unlted

I believe that a ratio of 16 to

The great difficulty is the ratio, and
if the minis of the United States were

feel certain that England viii never
adopt a ratio Of anything like 10 TO l

that if the price Of silver were once

TaE REPUBLICAN COUNTY PLAT

\ good many people read the ReDaO-
lican platform. adopted al Saturday 5
County Convention. with smiles. A
more transparent bid for the votes OF
workingmen. whose interests lie away
from the Republican party rather than
with il. wa never made in Ohio county.
Instead Of again preaching. in glitterins
gereral.ties. that hoary untruth about
the benefits accruing 10 wOrkingmen
from a high protective tariff, or even OF
setting forth. in ,inkling phrases, the
grea, prosperity which Will come to
wage-earners through a continuance OF
The reign Of Wall street and Thread
needle street. The platform makers
-arew these stale and Improbable issues
behind them with q casual reference
which meant nothing. and took up
what? C..y politics, The proposed new
charter. and the eigh.-a0ur law, as ap-
plied 10 city and county work!
Did the gentlemen Of the Committee
o.. Resolutions OF The Republican
Comfy Convention intend TO write down
The wage-earners OF Ohio county as i'm
5ecils. when they gravely penned that
platform? Having bambOoZled the
workingmen for couple OF decades on
she tariff question. wages having s;ead-
ily fallen as the Republican protective
-arin went higher. and after having Of
fcialy announced that the financial
question was not an issue in the COM
ing campaign. do these gentlemen now
propose TO have some more fun with the
working man?
We favor the submission OF The
charter 10 the people" All right; bu,
why no, remind the people that this
charter. against which a hidden in
situation is made. is a Republican idea,
ao-n and reared in a Council over
whelningly Republican in both
Branches. and in aid Of which eight
hundred dollars OF the peoples money
has been appropriated by Republicans?
Republican workingmen who are no.
pleased with the new charter should re-
member that it is wholly a Republican
idea.
we favor an eight-hour day in city
and county work" Do you? Then
why don't YOU practice what YOU so elo-
ouen-ly preach abouc campaign time?
Republicans have had control Of the
county government for four years, and
Of the city government for TWO. If they
are So awfuIy anxious about the work
ingman. why did they no, do something
for aim long ago. instead Of dangling this
bal, before his eyes on the eve Of a
safe and Presidential campaign? They

the banks of the Pei-lio she lives in great
splendor, surrounded by song birds, pea

One thousand attendants and servants
answer her beck and call. In her ward
robe are guarded 1000 coats, 200 pairs of
"trouserettes" and 500 fur robes, made
from the finest skins. Her feet have been
compressed until they are quite inefficient
for the original purpose, and the mar
chioness is unable to walk more than a
few yards at time.
Twice day she bathes in oil of orange

having distributed among them more
than usual amount of money.

who assisted him and had been sharcr III

you are beyond the domain"
The gentleman, while riding on, forth
with did so, and to his establishment found
that the charges had been withdrawn. He
at once reloaded the weapons, placing Il
bullet in each. BY nighttime he reached
Workman heath, and ON coming upon it
be WAS stopped by masked and mounted

mating that he must have his money.
The gentleman fired instantly in sell

the alarm was the work of II few minutes
on the part of the traveller.
He returned within an hour with men
and lights to the spot, when, on taking

him to be no other than the son Of the har.
ouet whose hos. ltality he had so recently
been enjoying. This son had, Of course.

An inquest was held, when it was found
