Mr. Perkins was at that time a representative in the Ohio leg- islature. He had written to Major McKinley regarding his position on the silver question. The Major's let- ter was in reply: *‘Dear Sir—1 have been so busy for the past three weeks that it has been impossible for me to give any atten- tion to matters in the district, which fact, I believe, my friends will appre- ciate.

It seems pretty hard for the farmer who has the products of his labor to sell to have to take the low prices that prevails, but the man who is about to begin farming can stock his property for one-third what it would have cost him a few years ago. It was a very or- dinary farm horse that could have been bought for $100 five or six years ago. Now two very fair ones can be bought for that amount. It is just the same with other stock, except, per- haps, cows are not down quite so much. blig i led ti Charley Weiser obliging and competent man filled the |, ND oh : ging a pelen 7 ken his old place at ea piace, bon 4 or} ae Che Pennsylvania Rallrad suffered dies are glad ove heavily in the Juniata valley. fic on the Middle Tyrone and Harrisburg was Bion county fair division, between | ins L headway and wit] give a lower rate for tickets than a one 3 and one-third fare for round trip, the convention promises to be a big Among those who will iress the convention are Mr. suspend- weather will draw a crowd the m——— se —— months POLITICAL NOTES.

Everybody under- stands that if Mr. Cleveland has had any such information it was given him by the gold Democrats of Virginia who hope to be able to stem the Bryan and free silver tide which is sweeping over that state by the influence which might be exercised by the personal presence on the stump against Bryan of Fitz Lee. It is well known that Fitz Lee would much rather face the danger of yellow fever in Cuba, than to take any part on the gold side of the present campaign in Virginia, and in- terest is expressed as to how he would receive a hint from President Cleve land that he ought to come home and take the stump. It will not make the slightest difference either way. The Republicans are virtually acknowledg- ing themselves beaten in Virginia by claiming that their meetings are being broken up and their speakers intimi- dated. Neither parties nor individu- als ever gain anything by pleading the baby act. A prominent Cleveland, Ohio, news. paper man now in Washington said: “Ohio ean fairly be classed as a doubt- ful state. In every nook and corner of it there is the strongest sort of senti- ment for free silver, and the feeling shows no sign of weakening. Coer- cion and intimidation will be used to drive the wage earners to McKinley's support, but a good many of them, while apparently submitting to the dictation of their bosses, secretly re- sent the attempt to control their suff- rage, and will vote for Bryan. With hands off and every man left to vote as he will, McKinley would not carry Ohio.” . $d state reports burg and Rebersburg Pardoned thief Bardsley is getting along nicely over near Jersey Shore don’t look like near dying. en mountains would afford healthy se- clusion, but we guess honest Pat Gar- rity wouldn't tolerate ts | Buperintendent within his realm.
