DEMOCRATIC U
IN E EIGHTH.
Fears of Republican Success Cause
an Attempt at Peace.
ALL AGAINST NORTHAMPTON.
Monro., Carbon and Pike Bald to Con
template an Arrangement Against
the Other County.
There is a report thnt the Demo
crats in the Eighth Congressional
District are endeavoring to patch up
thoir difference in viow of the pros
pects of Judge Kirkpatrick being
elected to Congress. A bait has
boon hold out to the Monroe county
people in the shape of an offer from
Barber, the Democratic candidate ol
Carbon county, to combine Monroe,
Carbon and Pike in nn alliance
against Northampton in future cam
paigns. This information comes
from Monroe and is authentic. The
Monroe and Pike people are opposed
to allowing Northampton more oon-
ferrees in Congressional conven
tions than any of the other counties,
and it was that led to the bolt, the
nomination of Hart and his subse
quent withdrawal.
The Monroe people, led by ex-Col-
loctor Staplos, Dr. Shull and Editor
Morey, of the Stroudsburg "Demo
crat," were not ready to give up
the fight whon Hart withdrew, and
they lot it be understood that they
wore still fighting. A day or two
ago Barber had a conference with
Staples and proposed that these
throe counties enter into an agree
ment whereby Carbon was to have
two terms, Monroe two terms and
Pike one term in Congress before
the counties would agree to give
Northampton another term, this
proposition being based on Monroe
stopping her disaffection and turn
ing in for Barber. It is said Staples
rather inclined to enter into the
agreement but asked time.
It is now said ho fears that Barber
is only playing for points, and that
Monroe will be loft out in the cold,
as ex-Congross Mutchlor has a big
pull in Carbon and might be able to
influonce the conferrees there in fu
ture to break the proposed agree
mont, in which event Mutchler
would have no mercy on Staples and
Shull.
Mutchlor is recognized as a figh
ter. He is still hurling hot shot at
Staples and Shull through his news
paper, showing that he does not be
lieve their strength is sufficient to
effect the result this Fall. At the
same time, those who have been in
Monroe know that the Shull-Staples
following is large and is up in arms.
It is also just possible that North
ampton has some friends here in
Pike who might not be agreeable to
this arrangement, and if made it is
questionable whether the parties to
the bargain can deliver the futures.
There are some men left in Pike
who have had enough of unfulfilled
promises, and the taking advantage
of accidental situations who might
make it exceedingly interesting for
this sort of a combine.
If Barber is attempting to play
Hottentot with Mr. Mutchlor he is
only following the lead of his illus
trious predecessor and may like him
feel at some time in the future that
he would like some convenient or
soft spot on which to light.

MILFORD, TIKE
THE DEM0P0P8 ENTHUSE.
A nig Day For Free Silver and Bryan Flag
Hailing, Parade and a Funeral Servloe
In the Evening. Mo Free Heer In It.
It was a field day for our friends
the Democrats Wt Saturday. In
anticipation of the frost which will
nip their blossoms a little later on
they concluded to crowd in all the
glory possible and have a good time
before the election.
In the aftornoon a very handsome
Bryan and Sewall banner was raised
across the street in front of the
Court House, but why they did not
put "Tom" Watson on one side of it
19 only known to themselves. In
the evening a very creditable torch
light parade took place, there were
probably 100 torohes in the line,
though boys manned some twenty
of thorn. The display was good and
the parade orderly, and we had the
assurance both by thoir appearance,
and the declaration of ft prominent
participant that the usual concomit
ant of free boer had been tabooed.
The strictures of the Press on this
potent Democratic auxiliary have
evidently borne good fruit. We
hope they will preserve the cage in
which the two animals wore con
fined, also the several transparencies
shown and place them on exhibition
after Nov. 3rd. They may be good
things to chew on.
The speech in the Court House
after the parade was a gem in its
way. The orator, Mr. D. J. Green-
leaf of Port Jorvis oould not be called
a very enthusiastic apostle of free
silver. Ho read a long rambling
history of the constitution, Solo
mon's Temple and some other things
in a perfunctory manner and with a
kind of "clammy" voice which did
not awaken much interest in his
hearers, and failed to call forth even
a cheer for the candid ates.,
He declared that he had been a
Republican but that in his wander
ings after truth he came to the forks
of a road where there was a sign
board 16 to 1 and he took the sixteen
way because he had long whiskers
like Peffer. At least that must have
been the reason for he gave no
other. He read the provision of the
constitution empowering the United
States to coin monoy and regula te the
value thereof, and said with a tra-
gio air that clau se proved that silver
and gold may be coined.
He denounced the crime of 1873 of
course, and In the face of Sherman
and others declared the act was
passed by stealth, and was a fraud
on the peoples rights. He went
back to the Bible to prove that the
ratio of 18 to 1 was the true one, and
asked how our country will ever
get out of debt unless by making
more money?
He said the question was asked
how the farmer would be benefitted
by the free and unlimited coinage
and that was the easiest of them all,
and this is how. It would start the
silver mines booming, the miners
would be paid say 1100 per month,
and a mine owner employing 1000
men would pay out one hundred
thousand new bright shining silver
dollars as wages and the laborers
would buy produce of the farmers
and pay them in silver dollars, and
so the farmer would get it, that is
he must work for it the same as
now but the unlimited demand ere.
ated in this way for bis produota
would be his benefit. Not a word
was said about the poor silver mine
owner who would pay his men in
dollars worth 50 cents, and pocket
the other 50 as profit. He is too
sacred an object to be spoken of in
such a manner. It was not even
hinted that he would increase his
donations to the churches or give
away any of his hard earned dollars.
We hope our friends will have more
siieeches of tins same sort, and in
duce every Democrat who wants to
really know about free coinage to
attend. At the conclusion the only
noise made was a scamper to get out
of it, they forgot to pheer any body
or anything and seemed to be really
glad that it was all over and wasn't
any worse, and that tliuy had lived
through It.

Resolutions of Condolence.
At the last meeting of Vander-
mark Lodge No. 828, 1. O. O. F. of
Milford the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, It has pleased an all-
wise and over-ruling Providence in
whose hand the stronger material
ties on earth are but as brittle
threads to again enter and by the
ruthless hand of death deprive us
of the companionship of one of our
most esteemed members our worthy
brother Frank Miller.
Resolved. That while we deeply
deplore the loss of our f riond and
brother we would bow in humble
submission to the mandate of him in
whom we live, move and have our
being knowing that as God cannot ere
in his decrees though inscrutable and
and beyond our feeble comprehen
sion are wise and just.
Resolved. That we aro aware of
this severe affliction of the widow,
and relatives of the deoeased broth
er sympathize with them in this the
hour of their bereavement.
Resolved, That as a token of
respect entertained for the memory
of the departed the charter of Van
dermark Lodge No. 828, 1. O. O. F.
be draped in mourning for the space
of thirty days. . ,.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished under the
seal of the Lodge to. the family of
the dooeased brother and that the
said resolutions be published in the
Pike County Press and Milforu Dis.

The Saw mill and Stick factory of
Benjamin F. Klpp located at Green,
town this county was entirely des
troyed by fire Wednesday evening,
Oct. 7. There was in addition to
the water power a steam engine and
it is supposed the fire originated
from a hot journal. There was no
insurance, and tho loss on mill and
machinory will be fully 12500.
Baxter B. Kipp who manufactur
ed umbrella handles in the same mill
lost a car load of these goods which
were ready for shipment. His loss
will be about $700, in addition to
the above. We are informed that
it is not likely the mill will1 be re
built. It was erected some 40 years
ago by John Kipp the elder now deceased.

Demoeratln Paper of Monroe Connty Pre
dicts His Hueoesa.
The East Stroudsburg Nows.Dem-
ocratic, gives up tho Congressional
fight in this district, and predicts
the election of ex-Judge Kirkpatrick,
tho Republican candidate. The
News says :
"The PsiKiusnl of the doctrine of
free silver and Populism this year
would have completed the work of
party demoralization, but the quar
rel by which two candidates are
were placed befor the people makes
the election of a Republican Con
gressman in this district for the
first time in its history an assur
ance which is doubly sure. The
situation is a sau one for true and
patriotic Democrats to contemplate. "
Grand Rally In Montagne.
The Popocrats of this township
held a grand rally at tho Brick
Houso Wednesday afternoon Oct. 7.
The meeting organized by electing
that old time Democratic Godifricd
Wioland, chairman, who introduced
ex-Congressman Towler. This gon-
Heman proceeded to make a school
boy speech, mixed with considerable
blackguardism, and two or three
stories. Then Augustus W. Cutler
was introduced, by mistake as our
present Congressman, Mr. Pitney
holding that place at present and
likely to so continue we think.
"Gus" the honest talked for an hour
and told the wonderful things he
had done when in Congress in 1876,
and what he expects to do whon he
gets there this time and how he
will start everything booming by
aiding the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. The house shook with
applause at this sentimont. There
were just forty-five voters present
in the room one-third of whom were
Republicans, and these with a dozen
small boys made up the large and
respectable crowd. Pike county
Democracy was well represented by
that great Chucktown orator
"Dory" Bosler and his boarder, Wm.
Holbert, Esq. ,
The meeting closed with three
whoops for Bryan and Sfiwall.
Montague.
The Fourth Congreasional district
should repudiate Augustus W. Cut
ler, because he is a repudiator,
a man who does not be
lieve in paying honest debts in
honest money. It should reject him
bocause bo is not the equal of his
opponent, Mahlon Pitney, in any of
the qualifications for Representative
in Congress. For selfish reasons and
patriotic reasons, the district should
elect Pitney. And we believe the
ci fixer s of the Fourth know a good
thing whon they see it. To prefer
Cutler to Pitney wonld be a folly
which would make State and coun
try regard the voters of the Fourth
as incompetent. Newark Sunday

The Pensioner's TJolla.
'Ton say yon want a little about the
old soldiers. Well, my friends, the
orisis which is approaching now, the
question before the country now, ap
peals to the old soldier a much as it
did in 1861. I am not afraid that any
man who risked his life in his nation's
behalf is going to be influenced by the
arguments that are addressed to the sol
diers dow by the financiers," etc. Mr.
Bryan at Milwaukee, Sept 6.
Not one word in answer to the ques
tion whether the purchasing power of
the monthly pension payments to 970,.
000 pensioners would be reduced by the
free ooinage of 16 to 1 silver dollars.
Not a word as to the effect upon pen
sion payments hereafter of the "ex
termination" of the "200 cent dollar"
because it is worth too much and buys
too much.
We do not assume that veteran sol
diers are thinking of nothing but pen
sions, but they should compel Mr.
Bryan to say frankly what wonld be
the effect of free coinage npon the pen
sioner's dollar.
Make him answer the question one
way or the other. Exchange.
An Object lemni In Sllrer.
There is an American silver dollar.
There are two Mexican dollars. There
is more silver in each of them than in
the Amerioan dollar. I bought both of
them for that What is the reason? The
sole reason is that onr dollar is a limit
ed coinage, banked by gold. There is
another coin. That is a French 6 frano
piece. I paid 95 cents for that It car
ries a little loss silver than the Ameri
can silver dollar. France and the Unit
ed States are both gold standard coun
tries. They keep in circulation a then
sand millions of silver, and Mexico and
China and Japan have not got one dol
lar of gold in circulation. The gold
standard country can keep silver in cir
culation. The silver standard oountry
can keep no gold. That is the example
of every nation today. Gold all leaves
the free ooinage oountry. Gold and sil
ver both circulate in the gold standard
countries. From a Speech by Senator
Lodge.
Bryan's Rotten Egg; Artnmens.
As a contribution to financial and
eoonomio thought the following utter
anoe of Mr. Bryan, made in Kentucky,
is the most remarkable yet offered even
by him:
"If any man in this community would
offer to bny all the eggs produced at 85
cents a dozen and was able to make
good the offer, nobody wonld sell eggs
for less, no matter what the cost of
production, whether 1 cent or 5 cents a
dozen. So with silver. Free ooinage
would establish the market price of sil
ver at $1.29, and nobody wonld sell it
for a oent less."
Why limit the prioe of eggs to 85
oents and of silver to f 1.29? If the rea
soning is sound, the price in each case
might easily be doubled, and the conse
quent benefit to the human race corre
spondingly increased. And why atop
with eggs and silver? Why not mark np
the prioe of everything you wish to
buy offer to pay donble or treble what
is asked for it and keep on paying that
price to all comers hold it there?
That's all you have to do hold it
there. "Nobody wonld sell it for oent
less, " says Bryan, so long as yon held
it "So with silver. " And the man
who is putting forth such thought aa
this is a candidate for the presidency of
70,000,000 of people in the closing

Looks Like Wilful Waste.
A German friend who recently
drove over a good part of the coun
try, and noticed the thousands of
bushels of apples going to waste up
on the ground, remarked to us that
he believed the American people to
be the most wasteful on the face of
the globe. This fruit in the old
country would have been carefully
picked up and either mode into cider
then vinegar, or fed to the cattle,
calves or hogs. There is a great
deal in what our friend says. We
may not always have a good apple
year like this and if you don't wont
this fruit, let some poor man gather
them for his hogs. "A wilful waste
makes a woeful want." Decker
town Independent.
