VOL. LXIX. THE BIG PICNIC TRONS ON TOP. Threatening Weather Monday and Tuesdry The “White City" a Howling Success Big Prevent an Attendance. Crowds Anticipated, The grangers of Central Penn’a have creation, education, and rest from the hard work farm. Husbands, daughters, sons, sweet hearts, all, look upon wives, as their inland “Atlantic City" where they enjoy themselves as to seems best, free from the gew-gaws and expense of a fashionable sea-side resort with its painted ladies, long and swallow tailed dudes and fops as gal- lants, Plain common sense, genuine eivili- ty, hospitality and the best of things to eat, are on top at this farmers’ campment. The committee had their 30 park in clean and most inviting con- dition and some 250 tents up by last Saturday morning. to the main avenue ; from the mercan- tile buildings the Stars and Stripes were also sporting in the breeze. Tel- egraph, telephone, railroad and post office facilities were right on the park. Pure mountain water, from Hall's admirable plant, was on all parts of the ground as conveni- ence required. The days and evenings were enliv- | ened by the Rote, Clinton county brass | band. Vocal music by tenters and by choristers in the Auditorium added to the charms of the encampment. Quite a number of tenters with their | equipments arrived on Saturday. In the afternoon a heavy thunder shower the resulting dampness kept hundreds who would have visited the grounds Sunday forenoon. The preach- ing in the Auditorium was well atten- ded. Sunday afternoon there were many visitors the ground came by private conveyances, day, the weather unsettled was quiet on the ground ; many exhibitors and AWAY | who Mon- 3, Ho tent- ge wares on being arrived and were ting their machinery In the evening there ers 4 | place. were two fisticufts between some and quiet was restored by the appearing wearing ugly looks. We | were told the trouble between the youngsters was about a girl, yet the] girl that was worth fighting about had not yet been in the park. All the local candidates had taken | they had young bloods pol oe tents—we don’t mean to stolen them. At the Centre Det ters there was a fine lithograph of Wil- liam J. Bryan, life size, also in a frame very finely executed photographs of the local Democratic nominees from congress to surveyor. These pictures rew large crowds. i The boarding tent was run by Jas. | A.

These ceremonies were held in the au- ditorium and were witnessed by alarge audience. In the afternoon Dr. son, State Veterinarian, delivered an address on the diseases and care oy farm stock.

Public meetings have been held and the farmers have agreed to give the right of way free, and to give all rea sonable assistance until the road is completed. They are now prepared to £9 to work in earnest, and if the road can be built for $6,000 a mile, as is con- fidently expected, it will not be long until the connecting link between Huuotiogdon and the Beech Creek sys- antly supplied with campaign litera- tem will be an assured fact, ited coinage of silver.

If President Cleveland and the mem- bers of his cabinet expected that their coming out publicly for the Indianap- olis ticket would make a sensation, they were badly disappointed. What else could they do? All the world knows that had it not been for Presi- dent Cleveland there would have been no Indianapolis ticket. Therefore it would have been a real surprise had not Mr. Cleveland and the members of his cabinet announced their intention to support Mr. Cleveland's own ticket. The announcement plays no part in the present status of the campaign; was duly allowed for weeks ago. Ex-Congressman A. J. Warner, of Ohio, who left the Democratic party to become one of the founders of the silver party and returned to the fold after the silver party nominated Bry- an and Sewall, is in Washington. He is brimful of silver enthusiasm, and says Towa and Ohio will certainly vote for Bryan. Of the latter state he says specifically: “The miners and farm- ers of Ohio were never more worked up over a matter in their lives. They is know that their future depends on sil- ver and they are almost to a man for Bryan and the white metal. Instead of the silver wave abating it Is grow- ing every day. It cannot be stopped and there Is no use trying. It ls going to march on and sweep the country in November. It will sweep everything clean.” The question of where Mr. will speak in Washington has happily settled.
