Well Attended meeting: at the Court
House Last Thursday Eventncr.
Considering the fact that ouly a
few hours' notice WR9 had of the
meetiDg to be hold at the Court
House last Thursday evening for the
purpose of organizing a Republican
club, there was a very good alien
dance, and the enthusiasm was all
that the most ardont could wish.
The meeting was called to order and
Q. Jamiesoo chosen temporary chair
man, and A- W. Richards, Secretary.
The object of the meeting being
briefly elated by Mr. Jamiesoo, a
permanent organization was effected
by the election of Hon. C. A. Ran
dall as President ; J. P. Grove and
Q. Jamieson, Vico Presidents; Jas.
R. Clark, Secretary; A. W. Rich
ards, Treasurer; J. C. Scowdeu,
Chas. S. Kircharlz, J. B.Eden, Jerry
Birtcil and Joseph Morgan, Execu
tive Committee.
On motion the constitution of the
Republican Stale League of Clubs
was unanimously adopted, and the
name adopted was The McKinley
Club of Tioneeta. The question of
permanent headquarters for the club
was left to the selection of the execu
tive comuuittee, they tu report at
'next meeting. A committee on By
Laws was appointed which is also to
report at next meeting.
The roll of members was produced
which showed that upward of eighty
had enrolled themselves, and at this
writing upward of one hundred are
already enlisted in the cause, and the
work has yet hardly begun. Upon
assuming the office of President of
the club Mr. Randall gave one of his
characteristically terse talks which
was frequently interrupted by ap
plause. Hon. J. B. Agnew, who was
present and became a member, was
called upon and also gave a short ad
dress that was heartily appreciated.
Preliminary arrangements having
been completed the meeting, on mo
tion, adjourned till next Saturday
evening, at the court house, when it
is expected to perfect the organiza
tion ao that the work of the campaign
may be begun in earnest. All Re
publicans and all others who believe
in the principles fur which McKinley
and Hobart, our gallant standard
bearers, stand, Dational honor, an
honest dollar and the chance to earn
-itx the protection 0f American labor
and American institutions, are ear
nestly invited to come out and enroll
themselves in the cause.
A cakefll canvats in Mew York
indicates that in sonio of the coun
ties 50 per cent, of the Democratic
voters are in revolt against Bryan
and Sewnll. The more the amazing
platform is read the more it is despised.
TnK following bit of advice is vol
unteered by the Philadelphia Inquir
er: "To those who ran wildly after
theories four years ago we would say:
Pou't allow yourself to be cheated
again. Haven't you had enough of
them? Haven't you learned by ex
perience ?"
hard to see how, if the purchase of
4,500,000 ounces of silver a month
was hurrying tho country into bank
ruptcy, a proposition to coin all the
silver of the world at a ratio of It! to
1 with gold can place it on a sound
and healthy fiuancial basis. lm.ty

With a $12,800,000 Treasury de
ficit for July, what nonsense it is to
say that the tariff" is not an issue in
this campaign. Bryan was not sat
isfied because the original House bill
did not cut deeper. But had that
bill, even as reported, become a law
tne ueucit would nave Deen double
what it now is. That is the measure
of Bryan's statesmanship.
"TnE platform adopted at Chica
go," says Gen. Sickles, "13 one that
makes me choose between ray party
and my country, as I did in 18(51,
and no party has a right to claim
what belongs to one's country."
There are thousands of loyal Demo
crats who take the same view of the
situation, aod wTiose votes will be
cast for the protection of the nation
al honor.

Bouuke Cochran is another lead
ing Democrat iu New York state who
opposes the election of Bryan and
Bewail because he sees in the currant
campaign the battle of civilization
The time has come when the issues o
the day go down to the foundations
of society. If the Chicago and St.
Louis conventions are right, then the
Socialists are right in declaring tha
"property is robbery."

UEFEiuuNQ to ttie favorite aiser
tion of the Free-silver people that the
act of 1873 was passed without the
kuowlcdge of a majority of the mem
bers that it contained a clause do
monetizing silver, the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat remarks : "The rec
ord shows that it was before Congress
for three years, that it was printed 13
times, aud that it was debated to the
extent of 144 columns of the Con
gressional Record."
Why McKinley Is a Protectionist.
First Because, having tried Free
Trade, or a -Free-Trade Tariff, four
times since 1783, it (Free-Trade) ha
a never once failed to cause excessive
imports and decreased exports, heavy
loss of specie, suspension of our man
ufactories, low wages and entorced
idleness of our laborers, general ina
bility to pay our debts, wide spread
bankruptcies, universal distress and
financial ruin.
becond Because,- having tried
Protection five times since 1783, it
has never once failed to causa increas
ing demand for labor, high wages for
our workmen, -nd lower prices for
their family and household necessi
ties, general and growing agricultur
al prpeperity, varied aud multiplied
industries, strong development of our
educational and benevolent institu
tious, and an increase of national
wealth unprecedented iu the history
of any other nation.
Third Because the foregoing re
suits in each case having been uui
form, unfailing aod invariable, I am
compelled to believe that the said
evil results are inherent in the Free-
Trade system, aud that the good re
suits are no less inherent in the Pro
teclive system.
Fourth Because, these things be
iog to, I must prefer that system that
brings universal prosperity, rather
than the nue that causes geueral and
unavoidable adversity. Willium Mc
Kinley.
Out of the 2,000 employees of the
Illiuois Steel Works at Chicago, 1,800
have declared their intention to vote
for McKinley. So it is all over the
country. The workingmen have no
until within the past few days had
an opportunity to study the finaucia
question, and as soon as they are ad
quainted with the cold, common sense
of the matter they do not hesitate
about endorsing the Bide of McKin
ley aod the country's safety.
Iom Watson was about the most
freakish misfit that the Pops, could
have selected for second place on lb
Presidental ticket. He and Brya
don't match any closer than a porcu
pine and a turtle dove. Watso
made fun iu coogress of about every
tniog aua everyooay, uryan among
the rest. Quoting one of Bryan's rhet
orical efforts, he suid : "That is beau
tilul. It is like the old fiab trap,
with one mouth down the stream an
tne other up, ana it 'catches era
a-enmin' and a-gwine.' " In his pa
per just before the recent Populist
convention, Watson published th
card : "The fact that my name has
been mentioned in that connectio
makes it proper for me to say that
under no circumstances will I accept
the nomination for either place upo
the national ticket of our party
lbat card makes no difference to
Watson. He accepts the uominatio
as a matter of course. Frankli,

It never occurred to the Dem
cratic party when it had ao immense
majority in Congress that the real
malady from which this country was
suffering was want of silver. It was
not uutil it became painfully appar
ent that it could not wiu on a tariff
for revenue ouly platform that it ro
versed its position on silver. Three
years ago President Cleveland called
ao extra session of Congress to repeal
the silver bullion purchase act an
tuus rescue me country irom the dire
evils of silver inflation. Isow that
same party proposes to surfeit the
country with silver by a free coinage
act, probably on the theory that
overdose of poison sometimes ucts
an emetic. Nevertheless it will be
