free is worth the value of the material
in the coin. If you can remember that
it will help you out of many financial
heresies For instance, you never can
be green hacker, nor an advocate of
the free coinage of copper. If man
were to be able to discharge a debt
with stamped button, the good sense
of the people would see to it that he
does not contract a buttons worth of
debt again. applause
Gov. Shaw showed how gold would
go to premium with free silver. He
recalled the fact that Bryan refused
to take the presidential nomination
this year unless he could plant both
feet squarely on a free silver platform
and for this reason it is an issue again
this year. Four years ago, million
Gold Democrats came to us before
they would allow gold to go to a pre-
MUM and silver to be deprecated
No party was ever as well reinforced
by as good blood as the Republican
party has twice benin 1860 and in
1896, and both times for patriotic rea-
sons and to stay. Applause. They
came for their country's sake, and hav-
ing had a four years taste of prosper
ity under Republican rule they will
stay on their own account.
The young man has as many chances
for success today as he ever had 1t

The young men are taking the best

never was such chance for young
men as today. There is general
inquiry for boys to fill positions. You
get ready for some place and the world
will be hungry for you. Applause. J

FOR FREE SILVER.
Bryan Is Betrayed by Sudden Anger and
Declares for Sixteen to One in the
Most Extreme and Violent Form,

When Bryan was speaking at Ann
Arbor, Mich. Thursday, October 18th,
some one in the audience called out,
"How about free silver?'' and he re-
piled as follows:
1--WE are in favor of the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation on earth. -
There it is-free silver doctrine in
all its danger, reckless and fanati-
cism. Not syllable of qualification
or caution. No hint of safer ratio
no suggestion of securing the co-opera-
ton OF any other nation, but reckless
plunge by this country, single handed
and alone, IN an attempt to maintain
silver at double it's value
Angry men tell the truth. Nettled
by the timely and pertinent question,
Bryan let the cat completely out of
the bag. Stung by the keen reminder,
he dropped his campaign mask and
avowed the full truth as men do some
times in their wrath as in their cups.
The alert citizen who propounded
the question at Ann Arbor did well.
He surprised Bryan into declaring the
truth fully and plainly before the
country. AS the Democratic candi-
date had been compelled by Jones ct
AL. to hide and dissemble his love for
free silver in policy game to be kept
up until the end of the campaign, it
only required the sting and surprise
of the sudden question to bring out the
burning inner truth of Bryan's de-
votion to silver.
Bryan loves his silver dogma all the
more fanatically because he has had
to nurse it in silence The surprise
sprung on him at Ann Arbor shows
how the land lies. Believing in free
silver as absolutely as ardently as
ever, Bryan will stop at nothing when
the opportunity comes to enforce that
policy in its most extreme reckless
form.
The Irish poet tells of the prophet of
Khorassan who disguised his frightfuI
visage for time, making his follow
ers think it one of enhancing beauty,
but when the hour came to drop the
mask he did so with frantic joy, ex-
claiming, eye would be dupes and
victims, and We, are -
So it will be with Bryan's' victims
if he ever gets chance to drop the
mask and give full vent to his silver
amnia.

REPUBLICANS are trying to in
fame the negroes over the re-
cent action of North Carolina
voters by over 80, 900 majority
in favoring an amendment to
the constitution of that state
making an educational equalifi-
cation for voters and thus dis
franchising a large number of
the colored voters. That was
ssperfectly awful" in North Caro-
lima, was it not. But suppose
those same voters lived in re
publican Massachusetts, how
much better off would they be?
In Massachusetts no one can
vote who cannot ''read and
write English. . Or in republi-
can Oregon, where only 'swhite
male citizens, or aliens who have
declared intention 1 year before
election" can vote? Or in repub-
lican Pennsylvania where call
voters over % years old must
have paid taxes within ? year?''
Shame. shame upon a party
which will stoop to such little
things to gain political ends.
The republican papers dare not,
while condemning North Caro-
lima, Alabama and Mississippi,
tell the truth about Massachu-
setts, Pennsylvania and Oregon.
Republican reader, will you stay
with a party which is so devoid
of honesty?

EX-GOVERNOR LEwELL1NG DEAD.

Ex-Governor L. d. Lewelling
died suddenly and unexpectedly,
at Arkansas City, Kansas, on
the night of the Sd inst. He had
been at Genda Springs to recu-
perate his health, but instead of
growing better he became worse,
and started for his home in
Wichita. Reaching Arkansas
City he stopped Off to rest up at
the home OF a brother-in-law, on
Monday evening, but expired be-
fore morning with a stroke of
apoplexy. He was about SIS
years old, was born in Iowa, and
came to Kansas, locating in
Wichita, in 1886.
During his term of two years
as Governor of Kansas, he show
ed himself a man equal to the
position in every respect; al
though not being a sufficiently
strong partizan he made some
bitter political enemies. For,the
last few months he has been
grossly misrepresented by the re-
publican press, they stating that
he would fight the populist and
democratic ticket, when, as we
know to be a fact, he was pre-
pairing to enter the campaign in
behalf of Bryan and Breidenthal.
Even now that he is dead, the
vile vultures of republicanism
are casting reflections upon his
manhood and intelligence.

rumored to have begun and is expect
ed to last about eight months.
Dundee is improving. Two small
grain bins have been erected to hold
the wheat in case no cars are on

ply are our wheat men. The R. r.
company is going to extend one of it's
switches.
The schools at Dundee, in charge
of Mr.. Henry Lutschg, opened Mon
day with an enrolment of 30 pupils.
The people of the vicinity have for q
long time manifested great interest in
their school. They have one of the
best built and furnished school houses
for country school in the county.
This summer the house was given q
new coat of paint, the walls were COW
cred with beautiful wall paper, and
school ground grass was mown; so
that we have a beautiful play ground,
q very fine house, and an elegant
school parlor, whose walls are adorned
by life size pictures of our two great
est patriots and statesmen--Wash-
ington and Lincoln. All the sur
roundlngs bespeak a pleasant, pro-
gressive, and interesting school fol-
this year.

THE POEM.

1 stood upon the oceans sandy beach,
And with a reed I wrote upon the sands these
words ''Agnes, Love Thee"
But the winds came, and the waves rolled noun
tain high,
And blotted out the fair I'M ,-ession.
Cruel waves, treacherous sad. fragl reed!
No longer will trust to thee.
But from the highest mountain peak IN pluck
the tallest pine.
And, dipped in the crater of Vesuvious, with it
/ will write
Upon the high and burnish heavens these words:
IA Wise Woman" is drawing the largest audi
ences ever known.
And giving an entertainment that will take
your breath away"
And would like to see any dog-gone wave wash
that out.
