We grant you it is rather early in the season to talk
of reductions, but there is to be a great showing of
Holiday goods here—a showing that will surpass
any previous season. When this store advertises it
endeavors to recite the actual facts. When it's a
strong story there's strong reason for it.
We've got
a fine line of Dress Goods
No use of going into detail about them—could only be done
indifferently to the neglect of many features, but we want you
to understand that we are offering a large variety of

Election Kmetoacope Views.
° a What a game this one of poli
tics is, anyway. From a theatrical
standpoint, it combines all the fea-!
tures of comedy, farce, drama, and J
even tragedy. Every campaign j
furnishes illustrations of each, and j
gives force to Shakespeare's truism J
that "All the world's a stage, and ,
all the men and women merely play- j
eis." Men of ordinarily {rood feel
ing and generous nature ex.Tn 'over ;
the fallen foe and the success of the .
candidates to whom they were favor-1
able. Their exaltations at times is j
almost unbounded, and is frequently j
accompanied by sarcastic, and even
bitter, allusions t*> the unfortunates
who ave defeated. We sometimes
think that if they could be {riven a ;
glimpse within the home circle of (
| some of the victims on election night j
they would there see something that
would appeal to their better nature,
and inspire them with such feelings
of commisseration and sympathy as
would very materially diminish
their demonstrations of joy. Some
how, when an election is over, our
sympathies run toward the defeated
men, and especially to their families.
00 Elections are great occasions
days of reckoning, when officials are
brought to account for their short
comings, their long-comings and
their comings-not-at-all. Then old
grievances are squared up by means
of the silent but painfully effective
ballot. The slighted citizen, who
i indulges the delusive belief that his
party owes him something handsome
in return for his years of steadfast
swlherence and geometrically straight
voting and good army record, but
who imagines that that something
has been withheld through the in
difference or the animosity of some
politicians of rank, seizes the oppor
tunity to square accounts by voting
! against, and helping in every possi
' hie way to defeat the candidates of
i his own party and help secure the
election of his opponents,from whom
he may expect nothing, but yielding
gracefully to the inspiriting influence
of the liquified electricity with which
they are charged, proclaim them
j selves in the Prohibition ranks.
1 00 It was amusing to listen to the
! ventilated grievances of two Demo
, crats on election day in town. They
j reasoned that their County Chairman
i had been well stcaked to pay $2 a
j vote but had failed to even liquidate
I either of their larynx. They went
J to their man but not being favored
with their demands for some reason
the tallying of votes demonstrate!
that:
"Time at least sets all things even.
And, if we do but watch the hour.
There never yet was human power
That could evade, if unforgiven.
