The speech of our distinguished citizen,
Hon. George R. Vending, introducing
Hon. VIM. ]. Bryan at Morgan's Grove,
appeared in nearly all of the leading
Democratic papers. From the Omaha
World-Herald of the 9TH inst, we have
the following editorial comment:
George R. Vending speech lntroduc-
ing William ]. Bryan to the people gath
cred at ShePherdstown, w Va, last We'd
nesday, was one of the finest short speech
es ever delivered i'll this country. In five
minutes Mr. Vending summed up the
chief issues of the campaign and paid a
tribute to Bryan at once deserved and
timely. That speech should be pasted in
the scrap book of every lover of liberty.

informed US that the largest acreage
O: wheat that has been in their COM
munity for many years is being sovn
this fall, and nearly all the farmers
are about through sowing. This years
crop made a splendid yield and was
sold at 66>and 68 cents per busheI.
Their Germ this year IS just a medium
crop, owing to the dry weather in
August. They furthermore report
good health prevailing, not single

they report quite an increase in the
