He told one gen tleman that he had found three in Rich Hill willing to go, but his trip to Butler was a water-haul. Bryan Clubs in every township in the county should come to Butler, Sept. 7tb, in marching order. Sena- tor Cockrell who will speak in this city on that date on the leading issues of the days, hould be given a grand ovation. As usual, C. B Lewis’ fine pair of gray geldings carried off the premi- um ribbon at the Rich Hill fair for being the handsomest carriage team. They won both in the double and single driving ring. Charlie always carries off the ribbons when he goes for them,because he drives the best. R. D. Ewin, of Deep Water town- ship, brought a load of the finest watermelons to town we have seen this season, and sold them to Williams Bros. Wednesday. Bob reserved one of the largest and finest for the editor of the Times. It was the mammoth Iron Clad variety and the most delicious melon we ever ate. Mr. Ewin never fails to raise fine melons. “Just tell them that you saw me” is the message Mr. McKinley ia per- mitted to send out to the people, while Hanna pays Cochran (a so- called democrat) $5,000 to take Mr. McKinley's place in replying to Mr. Bryan's Madison Square Garden speech.---Dade Co.

The business men of the city while they favor the gold standard, admit that theelection were to come off now Bryan would carry the state. They hope, however, to turn the tide before election day. They also admit that Tanner the republican nominee for governors a very weak candidate and that on this account Altgeld will bo elected. A friend banded us a gold circular which is being distributed freely in this’ county to the farmers and stockmen. The circular reade: “Compliments of Swift and Compa Iny, Union Stock Yards, Chicago.” These farmers and stock men would much rather this packing company would send out circulars offering better prices for cattle and hogs. They are more interested in better prices than gold standard literature. This pointer is from Chicago, in a letter to the Reeord: As I rode downtown this morning on the Wells street car, the conductor happened to notice a Bryan button a mar wore, and looking closely at it remarked: “I think much more of voting for tbat man now than I did last week.” After a pause he continued: “I’jl tell you why. Yesterday a friend had to pay a mortgage on his house —$1,000 in gold. He could not get the gold at the bank and finally had to pay $10 premium to get the $1,000.” £. C. Mudd. democratic candidate for sheriff was in the city Tuesday. He was just up from Rich Hill where he spent the week at the fair. He expressed himself as gratified with the outlock for the ticket, national, state and county. Heis making a thorough canvass of the county and said he was in the campaign now except Suadays until the polls closed in November. He went north from here and wil! be at the Spruce debate Friday. We not that Judge Dorman, of Clinton, has gone off with the gold | bug wing of the democratic party, | and it is presumed from the stand he bas taken will lend his might in the defeat of Bryan. It is a true and trite saying, once a man, twice a baby, and itis taken that in his second babyhood the Judge has for- stewed on him by the democratic party of Henry county. In view of the Judge’s strange ballucination it is sad to contemplate second child- hood. Graves has of- fered bis services to the campaign commitiee and will do valient service from now until election day. While Mr. Graves favored the gold standard prior to the Chi cago convention, as soon as the party spoke and announced its plai form, like the good democrat that he is, he immediately fell into line for the nominees and no democrat who raises his voice on the and the democratic ticket Graves. to the will of the party and its man dates.
