The disappointment that has come, the
disappointment that was necessary be-
cause of the holding out of these false
hopes, will make it impossible, in my
judgment, ever to repeat the influences
from which we suffered most in the last
election. And more than that, I rely
on the fact that we have four
years in which the people can study
the money question instead of four
months. They were brought face to face
with new question. They grappled
with it; they studied it; they tried to
understand it, but, my friends, it is a
slow process to convert so many people
as we have in this country, and so many
of them not wanting to be converted.
do what four months failed to accom-
plish.
A VITAL CONTEST
This contest in which we are engaged
is a contest in which the advocates of
bimetallism can outlast the advocates of
the gold standard. But why should we
see who can suffer most, why should we
see who can live longest under hardest
conditions? Why should we insist upon
a policy that would lead US to live well,
while others were in worse condition /?
1t is sign of intelligence to provide for
the future. 1t is sign of civilized man
to enjoy as much as possible and not to
see how little they can get along with.
We can get along under the gold stand
ard. We can get along under any stand
ard, but under bimetallism civilizatio
can march to higher ground than it oc-
cupies today.
A BUSINESS TYRANNY
We who advocate bimetallism are at
tempting to rescue the business man
from the tyranny that is as merciless,
aye. a tyranny more merciless than any
political tyranny. Touch one of the
great trusts. and fiuanciers rush to the

Sherman law was necessary to bring
back prosperity to the American people,
ard the pre- 9sure brought by these great
forces in society was sufficient to secur e
u4lcoAultlonal repeal. Did prosperity
come? Were the prophecies fulfilled? :?
No, no more were those prophecies full
filled than have other prophecies made
by the same people been fulfilled.
say to you, without fear of contradic-
tion, that the opponents, of bimetallism
in the United States have never made a
single prophecy in twenty years that has
been fulfilled in fact (Applause.)
The failure of their prophecies opened
the eyes of many; but that was not
enough. Mr.. Cleveland then recon-
mended the retirement of the green
backs and the treasury notes, with an
issue of gold bonds. Gradually the
scheme was unfolded and the people be-
gan to realize that a part of the gold
standard conspiracy was the conversion
of a on-interest bearing debt into an
interest bearing debt for the advantage
of the people who stood behind the con-
spiracy. That opened the eyes of some,
but not enough. We had to have the
Rothschild- Morgan contract-the most
infamous contract that was ever en-
tered into by this nation. (Applause)
Infamous, why? Infamous because it
not only provided for the sale of bonds
worth $119 at price so low as $1.041a.
That was the best part of the contract.
The worst part was the fact that this
government solemnly entered into
stipulation by which two financiers were
to protect the treasury of the United
States. Think of It'll! Seventy millions
Of people employing a banker in the
United States and a banker in London
to do what 7o000.Oo0 people have always
stood ready to do. (Great applause.)
These things were forced upon the
American people, and they resulted in

such an uprising as has not been wit
messed in this generation. These were
the things that stirred the peoples
hearts until there was zeal manifested
that has not been known by the younger
people who live and take part in poll
tics now.
THE SILVER BATTLE
We fought our fight. We thought we
would win. We failed. We had as many
votes as we had any reason to expect.
Our opponents had more than we sup
posed were in the country. (Great ap-
plause.) was one of those who believed
that we would win, and not until the re-
turns came in did I doubt the result of
that contest; but as look back over the
battlefield and see what we had to con-
tend against and the difficulties which
we encountered in marshaling for the
first time those who fought together, I
almost wonder that we accomplished as

prOstrated BY Lightn;ng.

Last Friday afternoon Orphans
Court Judge ThomasCuppett, in com
pany with his son aged seventeen and
two daughters, aged respectively Il
and II years, were engaged in replant-
ing corn in a field on his farm near
Hoyes, when they were all four pros
trated by lighting. Judge Cuppett
was in Oakland Tuesday and related
his experience to THE REPUBLICAN
He stated that the neighbors all re-
ported a terrific crash but that neither
he nor his children remember any
thing about the occurrance until the
rain began to fall and revived them.
Where the lightning first struck he
was unable to say, but is under the
impression that it came in contact
with wire fence in an adjoining field.
Judge Cuppett and his son have ex-
perienced no Inconvenience from their
narrow escape but the two daughters
are still in rather dazed condition.

By reference to the editorial page
this week cards announcing the
candidacy of Mr.. john Shartzer for
State Senator; Mr.. Mahlon Glotfelty,
of McHenry, for County Treasurer,
and Mr.. w. Perry Lee, of District No.
s, for the SherifTalty, may be seen.
These three gentleman, who are
probably known all over the county,
but better known in the community in
which they reside, evidently believe in
the maxim that ''the early bird catch

the nominating convention which is
to be called by The central committee
may recognize one or all of these gen

united support of the Republican

The best models for hats are neither
large nor small, and almost every
material is employed. Many crowns
are of silk or other material that is a
contrast to the straw brim. All kinds
of straw braid is used, except perhaps
those with q mixture of chenille,
which looks heavy in summer. As to
ribbons, there is an endless variety of
stripes and plaids, gauzes, moires,
changeable tatfetas, and fancy weaves;
and among the novelties are those of
grass linen edged with satin stripes,
and some of straw canvas. Rhine
stone and fancy ornaments are Law
ishly used, and feathers, wings and
flowers are in about equal favor

was a nightly visitor at the Vaux
house that he might be with his
Little Violet, as he called her. Six
years passed away and Annette came
home from school no longer the Little
Violet of the hospital wards, but
charming bit of sweet, young woman
hood whose very presence emanated
pleasure and delight. But to Jean,
the man of thirty-nine, she was still
his Little Violet" the baby spirit
that had touched his heart to long
ing for better things, and in whom he
found aspiration to break away from
the evil of his wasted youth.
DR.. Naux's position in life brought
Annette a round Of social pleasures,
and with her youth, beauty and
vivacity she soon had many admirers.
Jean rejOiced to see his Little Nio-
let as the belle Of her circle, although
the whirl of her social pleasures gave
him fewer opportunities to see the
idol of his heart. He was content in
knowing that Little Violet was a
flower of womanhood worthy of such
high esteem. The following summer
Jean received call to take charge of
the great hospital at Berlin-his rep
utation as a surgeon having become
almost world famous. 1t nearly
killed him to be so far from Little
Violet and his friend DIR. Vaux; bat
with Little NioIet's'' miniature nest
ling close to his heart, he found cour-
age to take up his new field of labor.
How infinitely touching and tender
were the letters be sent to the idol of
his heart, and how numerous the
presents to remind her that she was
ever in his thoughts.

Central, put young man, about 10
years of age, from his train. AS soon
as he landed, Oh terra firma he drew
a revolver and fired three times at

Will be thing of the past. He has add
ed that he would be glad to get out of
the base ball business II he could do so
without financial less. Mr.. Franklin has
expressed tho last desire on so many oc-
casions, only to experience a change OF
heart when the possibility became immi-
nent Of a purchaser appearing to take
the white elephant off his hands, that the
base ball lovers of the Queen City are
hardly disposed TO take him seriously. 1t
is fact that base ball as IL is conduct
ed In this city is profitable to the man
who conducts II despite what he says to
the contrary, and for that reason he is
satisfied that affairs should remain as
they are. Nothing could be more nat
ural.
But the people of Buffalo, those who
love base ball and support 1t, are far from
satisfied. Neither the quality of the game
as 1t is served up by the players of the
Eastern league nor the membership of
the league itself commends itself to the
progressive people of the Queen city.
They feel that they belong in a differ
ent and higher class than a circuit whose
membership includes such 2x4 cities as
Wilkes-Barre with hardly $1,000 popula-
tion and Springfield with hardly 5000
more. They feel that Buffalo is a metro
politan city, and that its proper place is
In league with other cities of the same
class.
