Mr. Bryan was presented with a silver horse shoe by the Journey men Horse Shoer’s association in St. Louis Saturday. The association has 250 members. United in marriage on Sept. 6, 1896, by Wm. M. Dalton, judge of probate, Mr. H. M. Anderson and Miss Ida E. Thernbrugh, both of Amsterdam, Bates county. Bryan's reception in St. Louis was the greatest affair St. Louisans have witnessed in a decade, and the big gest thing in a political way ever witnessed in the city. The democrats in this county are getting in good shape for November and there is no reason why the state and county ticket should not get 1,000 or more majority. The Australian system of voting forbids buying or intimidating. The railroads, packing houses and man- ufacturing establishments ought to | be prosecuted. Bates county ought to have two | big rallies before the election. One |at Butler and the other at Rich Hill {The Bryan clubs of the county {ought to take the matter in band ‘and see that it is done. The Tures was complimented on | Monday with a call from S. L Cole- | man, wife and little son,Jobn W. Jr. | accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Witt, jof Troy, Mo.

There are few states that the popu lists are paying any attention to Watson. Elias Harper and Miss Nellie Bentley, both of Lone Oak township, were united in marriage at the home of the bride, Wednesday of last week. The groom is the son of T. L. Harper. Mrs. A Killam, who has been vis iting relatives near Cornland, Mon- day, left for Pendleton, Oregan, for a short visit. then she goes to Port land. She lives with her children and visits them in turn. It is now asserted that the English bankers are contributing to the re-| With the | publican campaign fund. republicans it is anything to defeat Bryan and the common people, they care nothing for the means by which it is done. Judge DeArmond, we see from the Stockton Journal, has been stirring the natives down in Cedar county. | He had splendid turnouts at each speaking place and everybody ap peared to be for Bryan and DeAr- mond. The organization of free silver clubs goes merrily on in old Bates | and in a short time every township in the county will havea club. With | the fusion accomplished on the elec toral ticket Bates county ought to give Bryan 3,500 majority. The McCormick manufacturing company’s letter to their agents in- structing them to work for McKin ley, has aroused the indignation of the farmers of Jasper county, and they give notice that the insult and insolence of the McCormacks will be resented. The farmers of Bates county should do likewise. Judge Kemper, and little son Frank, paid the Tres a pleasant eall Monday. The Judge came to town to.attend a meeting of the demo cratic campaign committee. The Judge says the democratic party is in fine shape in his section and that Harvey Clark who spoke therea short time ago did the ticket much good. C. H. Morrison, a prominent pop ulist of Charlotte township, writes an able and convincing article for the Union in response to that pa- per’s invitation to“ any good populist to give a good reason for supporting Judge DeArmond.” After publishing his letter the Union advises that he be “unceremoniously kicked out” of the populist party. Who is this fellow Cox. posing as a farmer and making gold bug speeches in the county? Can it be the same Cox who gained notoriety in this county as manager of the poor farm under the populist admin- istration? As the Cox referred to above was at one time a staunch populist, perhaps Bro. Atkison can history. SELLING THEM MONEY } Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Burrus are!

This is the almost universal senti ment. We have metthe Bryan men jin the middle of the road It now remains with them, not us, to deter mine whether it shall be Bryan or McKinley. We have done our part; will democrats do theirs? We wait.” t Let the gold bug democrat orators draw their own crowds. P. A. Parks of Clinton, chairman of the demo- cratic congressional committee, did the proper thing in declining joint discussions between Judge DeAr- mond and T. B_ Buckner, of Kansas City. The gold renegade democrats of this state amount to nothing. | Judge DeArmond is ready to meet the gold bug republicans, and they ‘are the ducks he is after. If it’s joint debates the republicans want, | let them trot out Mr Hamilton. The Tres had a pleasant call the lother day from its esteemed lady \friend and subscriber, Mrs. M M. | Oldbam. residing near Virginia. She had the Times sent to her sister, Mrs. L A. Whitney, at Fairberry. Mrs. Oldhaw, we were sorry to learn, has been and is yet in very poor health. She informed us that she had just purchased a nice little farm in the neighborhood at a bargain. With the farm she got 30 acres of good corn, and 13 head of hogs | The amount paid for the farm, corn | and hogs was $1,000 It would be to the interest of rail- road companies operating in Mis- souri at least, to call oft their pesky managers, who are endeavoring to coerce their employee against the democratic party. If the fight is persisted in it will not end single j handed. There will be a day of | reckoning and the railroads will get | the worst of it. This is not a proph- esy. It is absolute fact. The dem | oeratic party is too big and too strong in Missouri to allow itself to be dominated by a few big salaried, brass coliared corporation managers. | —Nevada Meil.

The free silver clubs of Verron county are preparing for the grand rally to take place at Nevada on the 19th. The presidents of the clubs of the different townships held a meeting in Nevada Saturday and all arrangements were made for a big time. Some noted orators will be present to address the immense | crowd, which it is anticipated will be present. Gov. Stone will be one of the orators. Senators Vest and Hon. M. E Benton will also speak. | One of the largest and most en- thusiastic meetings ever held in western Bates, was addressed by Harvey C. Clark at Old Walnut Tuesday night. The school house was not only packed and every inch of standing room occupied, but there were equally as many outside who could not ggin admission. For more than two hours Mr. Clark held the close attention of the large crowd, and his speech is spoken of by those who heard it as one of the ablest and most eloquent arguments for free silver ever delivered toa Bates county audience. Monday last being Frank Allen’s birthday, kis wife prepared a sur- prise for him, by inviting in a num- ber of friends and relatives, and when Frank came home to supper he found the house crowded with a jolly company and a magnificent supper, which Mrs. Allen knows 80 well how to prepare. Scarcely were the guests seated when beautiful strains of music were heard in the adjoining room. tional surprise which Mrs. A. had prepared, being the the orchestra of which Frank is a member, composed of Cal Fisk, Walton Steele, Bert Al- {len and Mr. Henton. Mr. Allen was lthe recipient of several handsome and costly presents. If the McCormick Machine Co. is not more careful in its bulldozing attempts to force its employees and agents into the support of McKinley, the farmers of this country upon whcm the company depends for sup- port in the sale of their agricultural implemente, will teach them an ob- ject lesson by refusing to buy their | machinery. They should remember they are not the only manufacturing company of farm machinery in this country. While they may compel their employees standard, they cannot force free silver American farmers to buy their machinery.

Hendrickson. who was elected to the state legislature as a populist, writes a manly letter to the Free Press in which he says: “As I understand it the state com- mittee has power to arrange a fusion with the democrats on the electoral ticket, and that, I think, is the all important thing to do now, because a vote for our Populist electoral ticket is virtually a half vote for McKinley ana the gold standard. As for my part I am going to vote for Bryan and I believe that a large majority of the populists of Missouri | will do the same thing. I think also, that the man who does not labor to unite all the reform forces on the | national ticket this year will never command the respect of true reforms ers hereafter. In fact, I think his own conscience will forever condemn him. I wavt our state committee to get the best terms they can and | they should be in no way embarass- jed, even if we can’t get a single elector, we had better put up the seventeen Democratic electors and ' vote for them rather than be humili« ated by the insignificant vote our | electors will get. The Democrats | give us the head of the ticket and | three-fourths of the platform and for | the sake of making Missouri sure | for Bryan, if we can’t get a division | of the electors we had better take a little of the bitter with so much that \is to our liking rather than let Me- | Kinley carry Missouri.
