THE SILVER ISSUE.

MIR. Dolliyer OF Iowa, speaking for
the Mckinley administration at the
Carson opera house on Friday, said
and he emphasized his words with n
gesture which Was in all sense strik-
ing, that the silver issue is dead be-
cause the Republican administration
has knocked it out in such way that
it cannot be revived.
Bryan tells all men, in New York
and elsewhere, to remember that the
silver issue is very much alive. He
proposes to help keep it alive.
There were Republicans who fav-
ored silver, yet despite Mr.. Weaver's
aliurements in 1892, and despite the
abuse heaped upon them by eminent
mon who called them traitors, knaves
and fools in 1891, remained with the
pnrty they had aided to build, be-
cause they had faith in it's promises
In 1896. when the bad element of De-
mOcrBcy, combined with those money
interests which owe allegiance to
hothing but greed, had captured the
machinery and name Of the Republi.
can pnrty, many Of those Republi.
cans who had equally disregarded
allurements and abuse, voted for
Bryan.
Today the Mckinley administration
says in effect: We have established
the single gold standard; we have
provided additional currency by farm
ing out TO LaDks tho nations soyer-
eign right to issue money; We have
killed the silver issue and havo bur.
led it.
Is this sufficient reason for Re.
publicans, who would not be misled
by nero name in 1895, to vote for
Mckinley nowY

Henry r. Mayer.

The Sheridan, Oregon, Weekly
Sun OF October 9th, contains the
following sketch OF the life Of Henry
r. Mayer, father OF Mr.. c. e. Mayer
OF Elko. 1t is an interesting sketch
OF busy life:
Henry +. Mayer was born at An.
nspolis, Maryland. III 1916. In 1914
he went to ST Louis. Mo-, and em.
barked in the hardware business. He
married Fannie Bradshaw in ls47.
In 1850 he crossed the plains to Cali
fornia, but returned IN 80. He was
IA sutler ut Fort Laramie III 1855.
and from thence he went to St.
Joseph, Mo, in 81 and laid out
Mayors addition to that city. Again
in W he went to Fort Riley. Kansas.
as sutler, and two years later went to
| Nevada. He came to Sheridan in
1875 and has renamed here ever
since. During his residence in St.
Louis, engaged in merchandising. he
was delegate to che Missouri state
convention that elected delegates to
the national whig convention that
convened in Baltimore in 1910.
When the time came .or the election
OF delegates, the president OF the
convention arose and said that they
we're desirons OF having Missouri
represented in the National conyen.
tion and il any were present who
would positively agree to 20, to rise
to their feet Mr.. Mayer and JOHN
Rogers Clark, son OF Capt. Clark Of
the Lewis and Clark expedition,
arose. They were Immediately
elected. Nearly the entire distance
had to be ,raversed by boat or stage
in those early days. Mcssre. Mayer
and Clark took passage by boat to
Wheeling, Va, aud from there by
stage across Va. to Frederic, Mary
land; here they struck the railroad
and were soon III Baltimore, having
been ii days eproute to their place OF
destination. There were no great
convention halls in the old times, and
when the hour for calling the cop-
ventioD to order arrived, not n hall or
building in the city would begin to
accommodate the great crowd present.
But the skies were clear and the sun
shone in all its brightness and the
great crowd adjourned TO he Camden
race track just outside the city limits
where the delegates occupying the
grand stand. while the great crowd
beat up against ii like the mighty
waves Of old ocean laundering
against rock bound coasi-there in
the open air, with an enthusiasm that
has never been excelled since, Gen.
Wm. Henry Harrison was nominated
for the presidency OF the United
States. Mr.. Mayer was probably the
only man i'll Oregon that WIS n dele.
gate to either OF tho great party
conventions for tho campaign OF
1910.
During the % years Of his resi-.
dence in Sheridan he was for many
years prominent merchant. He
was pOssessed OF nm excellent edu.
cation, a great reader and thorough
business man and has at times besn
quite wealthy. lie hns seen busy
md ovenful life, and oven ON the very
day when the stroke Of appoplexy
camo upon him, the 10th inst, at the
age OF 81 he was engaged in working
some little repairs on his house.
His surviving family consists Of two
sons, eight grandchildren and threo
great grandchildren.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Every old maids heart has a sign
Ito Let"
Love is one part instinct and nine
parts imagination.
Dead love Ia worse than wicked love,
or crazy love, or even no love.
The great advantage in understand
ing a woman IL not having to pretend
o do.
When q woman tries to be equal to
man she makes herself unequal to
woman.
Every girl thinks her father and
mother are too old-fashioned to under
stand her.
Somehow a woman can always I'M
dsrstand the sentimental things a man
never says.
The way women fatter a man is to
tell him they know he can't stand be-
ing fiattered.
When anybody puts Satan behind
him, It's because that's the place Satan
wants to be.
Only a few of the good die young;
the rest OF them manage to get over
1t without It..
Every woman tells more than she
knows and every man knows more
than he tells.
No woman ever believes q man Is a
terrible hypocrite after he has once
told her she Is beautiful.
No man can bear to refuse a girl who
takes 1t for granted at the start that
he is going to acceptsher.
II is a funny thing that though you

It - mighty hard to tell things to
your wife that will keep her sweet all
the time. The hardest verse to write
Is nonsense verse.
It's q good thing to remember that
every GIRL As she gets older will be
some like her mother. and II she isn't.
she will take after her father.
Probably the devil always welcomes
all the men souls. as they come down,
with q pink tea whore there is sweet
lemonade and lettuce sandwiches.
When a girl begins to take an in
is time for him either to quit smoking
or to make love to some other girl.
Probably the devil will punish all
the women souls by having them make
calls and then making them leave as
oon as they say "0oodby!" the first
time.
When two ome sleep together,
they always spend half the night tell
ing each other how good their hus-
bands are TO them, and then go to
sleep with tears In their eyes,.
The reason some ONE can marry
any man they want to Is that when he
has done something they particularly
despise they know how to act like they
thought nobody else in the world could
do anything half SO 6ne.
