ENTHUSIASTIC MEETINGS.
Large Crowds and Great Interest The
Court Honse Filled with m Large Num
ber of People Many Democrats In
Attendance The Milford Re
publican Club Attended !u
a Body Cordial Greet
ings Everywhere for
Our Next Con
gressman. Our people had the pleasure last
Thursday and Friday of meeting
and hearing Hon. W. 8. Kirkpat
rick and his able lieutenants, Aaron
Goldsmith and Russell C. Stewart,
Esqs., of Euston. The two former
came up from Stroudsburg and held
meeting at Dingmans on Thurs
day which was largely attended by
the citizens of that place. They
were met by a delegation of repres
entative Republicans from Milford,
among whom where William Angle,
Chairman of the County Committee,
Hon. William Mitchell, Associate
Judge; E. Warner, William H.
Armstrong, Esq., C. O. Armstrong,
John C. Warner, A. D. Brown,
Charles Lattimore, A. 8. Dingman
and Hon. E. Pinchot.
In the evening they addressed an
audience in the Court House at Mil
ford the like of which has not been
assembled within that room in its
history of over twenty years. A
largo number of ladies, many Demo
crats and an overflowing crowd of
Republicans greeted the speakers.
The Milford Republican Club was
out in full force bearing a hand
some banner and escorted the
ipeakers to the building. The meet
ing was organized by electing J. H.
Van Etten chairman, who briefly
introduced the speakers.
Mr. Goldsmith in a careful and
mastorly manner elucidated the
money question. His exposition of
the false and delusive promises of
the free silveritos was received with
rounds of applause and elicited on
all sides the heartiest commenda
tion. It was unanswerable as ar
gument and irresistible as a logical
demonstration of that fallacious and
cowardly doctrine.
He was followed by Judge Kirk-
patrick who for an hour held the
listening crowd in rapt attention.
Never before was a subject more
directly and cogently managed as he
in cloar language and effective, elo
quent diction placed before his hear
ers the duty of all patriotic, honest
men in this hour of the nation's ex
tremity to wrest from the grasp of
those who would drag our fair
name and fame through the mire of
anarchy and repudiation, the stand
ard of democracy whioh they seized
at Chicago and have unfurled over
their heads. He pointed out that
the great leaders of the Democratic
party; Thomas Jefferson whose
hand traced and whose brain con.
ceived tho immortal Declaration of
Independence, Alexander Hamilton
who was the father of its financial
principles, Andrew Jackson whose
sturdy sense stood as a wall of
adamant for its doctrines, Samuel
J. Tilden, Samuel Randull, Grover
Cleveland, John G, Carlisle. William
C. Whitney, Governor Flower, Gov
ernor Russell, candidate for Gover
nor Singerly and in fact all the men
representing the brains and influence
of the party in the past and the pre
sent, were arrayed against the free
silver heresy of the Boy Orator
Bryan and his coadjutors the silver
mine owners. His speech made an
excellent impression and those who
cume to hear the truth wrent away
satisfied with the man and h's capa
city to represent this district as she
has never before been represented
and the few doubting Thomases who
cume to scoff went home carrying
the impression that here was an
earnest able muu presenting fucts
and statistics with a candor which
MILFOBD, TIKE
compelled attention, and with a
force of reasoning which convicted.
At Lacka waxen on Friday after
noon a large meeting was held in
the pavillion of the New York Hotel.
Here Russell C. Stewart and Judge
Kirkpatrick addressed the citizens
after the meeting was organized by
electing C. C. Shannon, chairman.
Men came from all parts of the
township and all were loud in ex
pressions of satisfaction arising from
the addresses made.
In the evening Millott's Hall at
Matamoras could not contain a
meeting presided over by Moses C.
Cole, Esq. Many could not gain en
trance, and were forced to remain
away. Messrs btewart, KirkpatricK
and Goldsmith were the speakers
and were greeted with the same en
thusiastic demonstrations as they
met with elsewhere. A number
were present from Port Jorvis, and
all united in expressing the belief
that Matamoras would far out do
the vote of 1894 when Hart the home
candidate received a bare majority
of 9. A careful student of these
meetings cannot fail to be convinced
that there is in this "ono green
spot" a determination to take itself
out of the greenness and rank with
other counties which have thrown
off the yoke of Democratic oppres
sion and partisan darkness. Our
people this year are thinking, and,
we believe they will vote their con
victions undeterred by any snap of
party whip or uninfluenced by the
cajolery of party regularity.

gress.
OBITUARY.
NANCY ELIZA KILSBT.
There passed away on Sunday
morning Oct. 18, a quiet, cheerful
life, beautiful in home radiency and
delicate in the perfume of a con
scientious Christianity a life like a
flower in some hidden nook by the
wayside seldom seen and only rarely
lifting its modest head to the occa
sional traveller, but which sheds
within its bounds a brightness whioh
adorns and a sweetness which
charms and compels attention. Mrs.
Kilsbywas a most lovely woman,
her character was of that unassum
ing and secluded nature which does
not shine outside its immediate
home circle, but there it illumines
and radiates. Born in Dingman
township, Feb. 13, 1839 she has al
ways resided in the home in which
her life was ended. Her illness only
ante dated for a few days her ..pas
sing away. With a constitution
naturally delicate it needed only the
grasp of pneumonia to shake off the
fetters which bound her to this life
of toil and care, and allow her spirit
to enter upon its everlasting reward.
She leaves a husband John W. Kils-
by, childless and alone to mourn his
irreparable loss. She is also survived
by one brother, D. V. Drake and one
sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Partridge, of
Brooklyn. The funeral was held
from her late residence Tuesday.
Rev. Thos. Nichols officiating and
her remains were laid at rest in our
beautiful home of the dead.
Lost on the road between Gor
don's mill and Travis place Sunday
last a lap blanket, yellow ana black
plaid on one side and black on the
other. Finder will be suitably re
warded by leaving same at Angle's
blacksmith shop.

. CbainloM Wheels.
The bicycle of the future it is said
will be chainless. Inventors have for
soma time been busy in an attempt
to construct wheels without the
chain and sprocket method of trans.
muting power. A beveled gear
closely encased so that it will escape
dust, with ball bearings, will be used
If this device lis successful it will
have many advantages over the pre
sent machine, especially in ladies
wheels, as it will relieve it from the
weight of both the chain, and guard
now necessary to prevent the skirts
from becoming entangled. ;Theuew
model Is said to be lighter running
and an easier hill climber, besides
presenting a neuter and more com
pact appearance.

HE TEACHER S INSTITUTE.
Will Convene at the Court
House Monday, Oct. 26
at 2 p. m.
Able Instructors Are Engaged to Be Pre
sent Superintendent Sawyer
Promises Unnsnally Interest
ing Sessions Notes, etc.
The teachers of the Comity are no
doubt looking forward to next week
when the monotony of their daily
routine will be broken by the insti
tute and they will have an oppor
tunity Of adding much to their
store of information by listening to
able and experienced instructors and
exchanging views ns to the methods
they pursue in school room work.
That they may not meet with dis-
ppointment, Prof. Sawyer has se
cured the services of men of recog
nized ability and success in school
work and these aided by local talont
will furnish a week of genuine en-
oyment and instruction.
It is earnestly hoped that as many
directors as can will be present and
all friends of education are cordially
invited. The daily instruction will
be given by Prof. Geo. W. Twit
meyer formerly of Honesdale, but
now principal of the Bethlehem
schools, by Prof. E. L. Kemp, of the
East Stroudsburg State Normal and
by Prof. W. H. Dotwiler, of the
Bloomsburg Normal. Tuesday eve
ning Prof. Twitmeyer will lecture,
Wednesday evening Prof Kemp and
Thursday evening will be occupied
with a varied program in which
several speakers will take port and
specially prepared essays will be
read. Music under the direction of
Miss Lila Van Etten of the Milford
Graded school will be made a pro
minent feature of the proceedings.
It is the earnest desire of Prof. Saw
yer to make this Institute a complete
success, and this can only be done
by each teacher coming prepared to
actively participate and not be a
mere passive recipient of the know
ledge and experience poured out by
others.
Republicans, Attention !
An important meeting will be
held at the Headquarters on Tues
day evening, Oct. 27th. A largo at
tendance is requested. Make the
meeting a success.

office here has been successfully fol
lowing the same line of business in
Monroe. The safe of the Cresco
office was blown open last week and
the rear of the building considerably
damaged. They got about $100 in
silver currency. They are evidently
well supplied with dynamite for they

THE DEMOCRATS PARADE.
Their Orators Speechify a Little, and de
light the Audience.
On Monday nccording to time
honored custom our friends had
their annual meeting. It was en
livened this year by a p:irado, brass
band and several transparencies
more or less ridiculous in senti
ment. " The parade was a very cre
ditable and orderly display and de
serves commendation.
The meeting in the Court House
was organized by electing Hon. D.
M. Van Auken, chairman who neat
ly introduced Laird II. Barber of
Mauch Chunk Popocratio nominee
for Congress. Mr. Barber evident
ly did not intend to be either logical
or educational in his remarks and
his success in avoiding both tenden
cies was phenomenal f or a man oc
cupying his relations to tho party.
His spoech was a marked contrast
to that of Judge Kirkpatrick on the
Thursday evening preceding, and to
say that Mr. Barber sufTored by the
comparison is to state it mildly.
Perhaps however he is of such mag
nanimous spirit that he did not wish
to have it thought for a moment
that he was built on different lines
or endowed with greater capacity
than the statesmen from his dis
trict our Domocratic friends are
wont to invest with the Congression
al toga.
He was followed by C. B. Staples,
Esq., of Stroudsburg who fired the
audience with enthusiasm by defend
ing the Chicago platform, especially
its denunciation o f Courts and obe
dience to law, and poked a stick
with a rather sharp ond at 1 his for
mer friend Cleveland under whose
previous administration by the way
Mr. Staplos was revenue collector
and didn't think it so bad eithpr, by
saying if Bryan was electod he
would find an attorney general who
would jump on the trusts. He how
ever made no allusion to the fable of
the man and tho viper, probably in
the heat of his fervid oratory he
forgot it, as he almost did to men
tion that his friend, Mr. Barber was
a candidate for Congress. Hon.
Frank P. Kimble, of Honesdale next
took the oar and paddled around in
tho Bryan pool of frqe and unlimited
coinage of silver at 16tol. H
never got to shore, but he will after
Nov. 3rd and when his cruise over
the salty waters are o'er we shall
greet his kindly face as of yore.

Bryan and Sewall Club Meeting.
.Last Saturday night was the
crowning effort, the sunlit apex of
glory for this devoted organization
because its "orator" shed his efful
goncy over it for nearly an hour. In
the early dusk of evening "Dory"
and his faithful henchman and
boarder, Mr. Holbert were seen, ar
rayed in cap and torch, wending
their way tandem like to the rendoz
ous, the Mecca of the faithful, the
Grand Jury room that place hallow
ed by the sufferings of many Demo
crats whose characters have heroin
undergone a searching scrutiny at
the hands of a grand inquest inquir
ing for the body of the Common
wealth. The meeting was hastily
called to order by rapping tho grow
ler, but the orator had fled. Awed
by1 the surroundings his timid soul
refusod to stay. A hunt was organi
zed, and searchers went forth. He
was finally discovered under a horse
shed where his speech had been al
ready partly delivered, and the
agony had left him in a weak and
dilapidated condition. But aided by
stalwart arms he was escorted in the
midst of the faithful and stood on
end. His speech was beyond re
production. .Nothing like it was
ever heard before, but it satisfied
the minds of his audience and per
suaded their consciences. It was
good free silver speech, well adapted
to the comprehension ot the club,
and on a level with its moral and
intellectual standard. This was
evinced by the hearty applause
which greeted the orator at frequent
intervals, showing that his master
mind and chusto words were sway
ing his hearers like reeds before
tempest. "Dory should be sent
out by the club as a missionary and
a fitting exponent ot its character
and principles.

, C. W. Shannon, of Lackawaxen,
by his card in another column asks
the attention of voters to his candi
dacy for Treasurer. Ho is the re
gular nominee of the party and in
every way qualified to till the office
with credit to himself and the coun
ty. The voters irrespective of party
affiliations are invited to consider
his qiutlih 'utions. Mr. Shannon is
not a chronic seeker for a place at
the publio crib and the people
would do well to invite those who
are to take a rear seat until there
is something like a fair distribu
tion of public perquisites.
