are always climbing down hill have
you ever thought of the changes in
the furniture business since the Smut
neys landed here in Audubon? Keep
your eyes open, and count the changes
on your fingers and see how they come
and go; all are retired millionaires
and have taken much needed rest
after showing us merry time. But
we are still here and no one ever did
defy us on our low prices. Do we
cut prices? We are in position to
do so.

The intense activity of the brewers coupled with reports

The most dscouragng feature of the situation from the
Republican viewpoint that the who believe in tenn
perance and good government disposed up to the
present time to allow the brewers and their emissares to
do all the hustng. The Republican managers admit that
hard fight and that there fear that if
vote were taken now the brewers, who are organized

CampaiQn ROoPbaCks Of The Most Blatant Kind

Some cheerful liar has been circulating the report that
W. j. Bryan charged for his Bloomfield political speech
last October Gilbert II. Hendren of Bloomfield who had
charge of the meeting says
1T is hard to understand, why anybody would wfuy,
knowingly and malciously msrepresent either Benjamin
Harrison VIM. j. Bryan as to their wealth or as to
what they may have received for making political speeches.
Neither, ever received dollar for making political
speech his life even received dollar for address
any subject delivered Sunday 1t charged that
Mr. Bryan received pay fof making speech at Bloom
field the 9th of last October, by who did not
tell the truth and has no interest in town.
Everybody knows the charge is absolutely false.
In connection with this denial the following communica
ton and answer in the Indianapolis News will be of in
terest: To the Editor of the News:
Sir-Many republicans assert and say they willing
to back the statement that William j. Bryan during the
different campaigns in which he made political speeches
from the end of private car would not speak until
he had been paid money which varied to the i'm
portance of the district running from $500 to $500 for
each stop and speech
am seeker after the truth Is it not fact that
money so collected paid into the fund of the central
committee and credited to the campaign fund?
Is not fact that this policy has been pursued by the
Republican party on several OCCASIONS one namely when
Benjamin Harrison made campaign speeches from the rear
end of his private car?

Not Id EdIfyina spectaeIe.

1t cannot be said that the spectacle of
the House Of Representatives sitting as a
court for the trial Of printing claims is a
dignified or edifying spectacle. There is
a tiDge of comic opera solemnity about it
all that was we'll exemplified when a hu-
morous member arose during the session

and perpetrated practical joke on a re.
porter at the press table, not only with
out rebuke from the chairman. but with
his assistance. This, following three

limit of the al fresco. Those claims
should have been collected in the proper
process of law, not through extraordinary
action BY the legislature. = Montpelier
