John c. Bell. the fusion candi-
date for congress from this district,
delivered political diatribe at the
opera house last Friday night TO
select and chosen few. which
numbered exactly sixty-three
persons at the opening OF his dis
course There were several curious
persons who came in afterwards,
and several, more or less disgusted,
who left the hall before the conclus-
ION Of the meeting. Mr.. Bell is in
favor OF all the gold and silver OF
the earth being coined into money,
and then II there is not enough to
go around he thinks the govern
ment should issue greenbacks so
that every man, woman and child
in this great country of ours would
have money to burn. He also
said that banks who were delegated
the power OF issuing money were
a curse and blight upon any
nation, an assertion which must
have been duly appreciated by the
national bank president candidate
for the legislature, who sat upon
the platform Fusion makes
strange bed fellows. and ii is pos
sible that Congressman Bell had
nc, been posted npon local condi-
tions, or else he loves candor too
well to be discreet.

condemned. Two typhoid patients died
today. They were Privates A W. Stock

ported today.
Secretary Alger said today that in ac-
cordance with the recommendation OF
Surgeon General Sternberg he had decided
upon the abandonment of the camp near

be less Objectionable than any other.
