A Thinking Republican.

ED. PEOPLg's VOICE:-SOme time
ago l read with interest two or three
articles over the non-de-plume "a
Jeffersonian Democrat" and l fully
realised his utter inability to in the
least effect the action of his great
party that is now running in a trans
verse direction to the wishes of the
great mass of democratic voters.
But how about my own party? We
have been promised the free coinage
Of silver in our own state and national
platforms time and again.
During the campaign Of 1894 we
were assured that our candidates were
in favor Of tue free coinage Of silver,
that Blue and Long, II elected, would
do all in their power to accomplish
that end. What was the result? They
were elected and upon the first oppor-
tunity recorded themselves as opposed
to silver, and yet my party has re.
warded Mr.. Longs treachery by re.
nomination, aud Mr.. Blue will doubt.
less be likewise complimented.
Our State Representative claimed
to favor silver, yet his vote was given
to a man for U. S. Senator that also
voted against silver.
We were also told there was great
need OF railroad legislation, and the
Populist party was held responsible
for the defeat Of the Greenlee Railroad
Bill, a measure which our party claim
ed was exactly what we people needed,
yet strange to say, that bill was rein.

Is it not placing party above coun-

The Choral Unicn.

On Tuesday night the second ses-
sion of the Wellington Choral Union
was held in the High school building.
About forty members were present,
and business Of importance was trans
acted. The different committees
made their reports and several selec-
tiOns were rehearsed.
The meeting was called to order by
President Barrett, who called for the
reports Of the different committees.
Ed Tinkham, as chairman Of the
committee appointed to secure a room
for their place of meeting and the
services OF a janitOr, reported that
a room in the High school building
and janitor services could be secured
for the sum of fifty cents a night.
b. L. Woods moved that committee
complete arrangements with the jau-
itor, and motion carried.
Mrs. l. l. Scott, as chairman of the
music committee, stated that as yet
no music had been purchased, bnt
before the next meeting a number of
selections would be secured.
The president said that one of the
city papers had stated that only those
who received invitations could
become members Of the union, and
that this was mistake. Anyone,
upon proper application, could gain
admittance.
Harry Woods moved that regular
sessions meet at s o'clock and that
they commence promptly on time
whether all were present or not. Car
ried.
Mrs. Scott then took charge of the
meeting and some excellent rehears-
ing was done. Those who have al
ready become members are:

n. E. Easter Services.

The services at the NJ. E. church
Sunday, both morning and evening,
were quite interesting.
The flower decorations were beauti-
full. The rostrum about the pulpit
was filed in with pOtted plants, easter
and Gala lilies being the most con-
spicuous. The railings and stairways
were also decorated with vines and
plants, all combining to make the
church a scene Of brightness and
beauty. The large chorus choir, led
by Harry Woods, rendered some fine
music at the morning service, after
which Rev. Place gave an eloquent
discourse on the subject of Easter,
A special service had been arranged
by the EpwOrth League for the even
ing hour. A good program was well
rendered, consisting Of music by the
choir, vocal solos, recitations and
songs by several Of the little folks
A song by four little ones deserve:
special mention. Edward Jones exc
cuted one of his popular violin solos
Quintette gave nice selection, the
solo part being sung by Miss Laurs
Moore. Mrs. Carrie Price and Mrs
Minnie Owens rendered solos, after
which a short and appropriate ad-
dress was made by Rev. Place. This
was followed by music and the bene
diction, which was pronounced BY
Rev. Price.
