The Sterling Republican Club of Tha
Locality Has Ladies' Night"

The Sterling Republican Club of That
Locality Has Ladies' Night"
The Presidio Heights Republican Club
held meeting in Its new wigwam on
Maple street, between Clay and Washing
ton, last evening. 1t was ladies' night
as a large number of the fair future voters
were present.
The meeting was presided over by DR..
Regensburger.
William H. Schooler and School Di-
rector Thomas Knox addressed the audi
ence in pithy and entertaining speeches,
scoring the Nebraska man and his Demo-
cratic-Populist-silye following unmerci-
fully.
Mr.. Knox said the silver dollar is worth
53 cents, and who is going to back and be
responsible for the other AZ cents.
I'VE are borrywing nation" said he,
land borrow largely from England, who
exacts the gold dollar in return. Who is
to pay that extra AZ cents when we get to
silver exclusively? And how can we
borrow money if we give out in advance
that We intend to repudiate the difference
between gold and silver dollar? This
is silver miners campaign against the
sound-money Republican party-a cam
paign of the people who have bullion to
sell, and the Government will be asked to
put high market price on the output of
the Colorado mines"
Miss Shaw stepped on the platform
amid prolonged applause and went
directly into the subject of her speech, as
follows:
can't say am Republican or anything as
yet. am not GOOD enough to be Repub-
lican, not free enough to be Democrat, have
not suffered enough to be Populist and am
not sober enough to be Prohibiticnist. But if
the Republican party be true TO its promises,
to its glorious past, we will be good enough
for its ranks. The Republican party put that
suffrage plank into Its platform because 1t
thought the time was ripe for the emancipa-
tion of the ballotless part of the people, and
that women, who bear part OF the burdens Of
taxation. should take part in the government

What the eople Think they See in
Silver.

This is the heading of an able argument
in this weeks News Letter, wherein the
writer shows up the free-silver fallacy
clearly and indisputaply. The general
argument that times are so bad that they
cannot possibly become worse, and that
therefore any change will surely be for the
better, is disproved in a logical manner.
People who imagine that Tree coinage of
silver would make its general circulation
any the easier cannot do better than
study this article. 1t will change their
views.

THEY SLEEP IN BUNKs.
Why Eleven Men Registered From
One Room OF the Crystal

Lodging House.
The Election Commissioners thought
they had struck lead in their search for
suffers yesterday when, in their investiga-
tions, they came to the Crystal House, a
10-cent lodging-house in the basement of
the Roster House at 675 Howard street.
1t appeared that eleven men were reg
istered from one room and the Commis-
sioners wanted to know how this came
about. The proprietor and his clerk were
both present and swore that the men
roomed in the house.
They explained that a genuine bed was
not given for 10 cents, but that the one
large room comprising the .'house'' con-
tanned large number of bunks. and that
each of the eleven alleged suffers .occu-
pied one of these.

TROY LETTER.

Troy, N. Y, MARCH 2, 'e6.
We have it chanRable up here. It
began TO rain Friday night, February
18th, at u O'Clock and it rained until
Sunday night, betwee and 10 O'Clock,
when It turned to snow and now IL
looks and feels like January Never
the-less, the Hudson river ice broke
up Saturday night, February 18th,
about 8 o'clock. and we will be looking
for the boats about the middle of the
month. We all will be glad to see the
boats running again.
The Rev. j. A. Taylor preached not
long since from she subject, why q
colored Baptist Church should be- in
Troy" Some of the reasons he gave
are:
lst. Troy is a large and growing
commercial city With q population Of
about $1,000.
2nd, There are about 1000 colored
people in this city and they are contin-
uAlly coming. The majority OF them
are from the South, and they are eth
er members OF Baptist churches or
members of Baptist families.
Bird, These people coming to Troy
and finding no church Of their own /,
they go astray and be found doing bad
when they might be led to do good for
themselves and others.
4th, Those who want to do good and
are willing to stand by their princi-
pies as Baptists are forced by circum-
stances to go into the white churches,
where they are not made welcome,
can not exercise their gifts and cannot
be useful in doing the LORDS work.
Others are forced by the same reason
to go into churches of other denomi-
nations and there they are deprived of
|ceceiving the free and simple instruc-
tion OF Gods word, a. Baptist many

ed facts that these members have been
unhappi1y treated by the Mt Zion

to the rules that govern Baptist in sim
liar cases. That we do heartily ex-
tend the hand OF fellowship to the
Zion Union Baptist church and rec
ommend her. to the confidence Of sis
ter churches.
