THX BOWXST.
The weather during the past week has
been most oppressively hot and business
has been side-tracked during the after
noons and evenings for the discussion
of the silver question.
Every afternoon those interested in
saving the country congregate at the
Bowery to debate the i question. John
Golden calls it the school. The best
order prevails. But one man talks at a
time and no interruptions are permitted.
After a speaker has finished his remarks
it is tbrn in order to ask questions.
The meetings are interesting, and each
succeeding day brings a larger gathering.
The gold standard men are equal to the
emergencies that arise and hold their
own against the combined opposition
with ease.
It is getting so now that every debater
brings with him his statistics. It is use
less to make an assertion any more un
less one has the figures to prove it.
John McCafferty refuses to accept a
newspaper's reproduction of the report
of the secretary of the treasury; he wants
the secretary’s report in the original.
It is hardly necessary to say that he
finds the report against the free silver
argument.
The best informed men so far taking
part in the discussions are Gbever Haze
lett for the republicans and Judge Gilles
pie for the popocrats.
THEY RATIFIED.
The silver people advertised last week
that a big ratification meeting would be
held in the court-house Saturday night.
They advertised also that C. J. Smythe,
of Omaha, Mrs. C. M. Woodward, of
Seward, and Judge Gregory, of Omaha,
would be present to address the meeting.
The gentlemen did not come, but Mrs.
Woodward, like a great many other
women, could not miss an opportunity
to indulge in the feminine meekness and
was on hand. She was reinforced by
local talent
The demonstration, instead of being
a bowling success was like a fire cracker
that is broken and ignited in tbe middle.
In other words it was a colossal fizzle.
The parade was made up almost exclus
ively of town people, although the
farmers had been urged to bring In their
wagons and buggies to swell the pro
cession.
The transparencies used in tbe parade
were numerous, but not nearly as
numerous as the stale inscriptions they
bore.
The court-room was comfortably
filled with ladies, boys and a few men,
very few of whom were satisfied with
tbe speaking. They had congregated to
learn something, but they found their
educators ignorant, and incapable of im
parting anything else. For instance,
Henry Murphy said that at the close of
the war the United States had a popu
lation of bnt 85,000.
Mike Harrington challenged Horr to
joint debate and Mrs. Woodward
garbled Blaine’s utterances on
the silver question and that was about
all there was to it.
A CHANCE FOB CLOTHING BVTEB8.
Our fall stock will soon begin to arrive
and we have decided to cut prices (or
two weeks on all men’s and boys’
suits and odd pants.
We have selected fifty suits and one

half price, Ibsb than cost, but they must
go. Don’t miss this chance.
On the balance of the stock we will
give 20 per cent, and this Kill be an

us with an inspection of our stock.

AM JOHN CAM! ALSO
We had notice through hla advanced
sheet (see O’Neill Sun 88r J ult.) thfit Mr.
McCafferty was on his way to make a
delivery, which was to be presented to
the readers of the Sun in its following
issue. Well, the Sun issued, and so did
John. But my sakes 'o live! as Aunt
Betty would say, what an issue, or
rather, what an abortion! This is said
to be a year of record-breaking, and Mr.
McCafferty has certainly contributed his
mite toward sustaining the assertion.
For, on the score of reckless assertion,
self-contradiction, nonsense, etc., etc.,
he has left even himself in the far dis
tance.
i ciunpo ii, wuuiu uv wen iu learu irom |
these free silver advocates what calling
in life a man must pursue, In order to be
entitled to the privileges of a free Ameri
can citizen and to be 'permitted to dis
cuss questions affecting the welfare of
his country, without being referred to in
coarse phrases calculated to belittle him
on account of his profession. Mr. Cald
well we understand is a minister, a
preacher. But he has a right to get on
the stand and express himself upon po
litical issues also, and when he does, it
is certainly bad taste, to say the least,
to refer to him sneeringly as "Parson
Caldwell etc.”
Mr. McCafferty uncovers his bourbon
tutelage in the very beginning of his
abortive effort, when he contemptuously
insinuates that the laborers and factory
hands of Chicago (and of course those of
other places) are ill-informed and
unintelligent. John, there are men
among those "laborers and factory
hands," who are very much our superi
ors in both intelligence and good man
ners.
Tour frantic efforts, put forth in the
stale phrases and purloined metaphors
of your tutors, to create a prejudice
against the creditors of this country, by
insinuating that there is a conspiracy on
foot to turn the government of the
United States over to England, is to say
the least, exceedingly silly. But still
more ridiculous is the intimation that
the only way to guard against such a
perfidious design, is to allow the double
tailed monster, yclept “modern democ
racy” to take charge of our government
affairs. That bogy won’t work, John.
Let us now take a aide view of Mr.
McCafferty's consistency, as exhibited in
the center and tail of hit abortion. Mr.
Me. says he is an uncompromising pro
tectionist. But he uses all the worn out
phrases, in denunciation of it, that have
done duty for the most ardent free
traders since the days of Adam Smith.
And as a further illustration of his love
for protection, and which may be taken
as a proof of the patriotism of his party,
he says the free silver men will prevent
any protective tariff bill from passing,
without e free silver clause as a rider.
That, in fact, they will play dog in the
manger, (we use the word dog advisedly.)
Mr. McCafferty then proceeds with his
course of reasoning (f) thusly: We have
had panics under high protective tariff’s;
we have had panics under low protective
tariffs, and we have had panics under
moderate tariffs etc. As usual he draws
no conclusion, but just thinks (the word
think may be improper, but we will risk
it) he has arrived at the stopping place.
The conclusion, of course, is, that the
rate of tariff had nothing to do with
the panics. Hence the truth of our
charge that Mr. McCafferty’s deliverance
was a hoshposh of nonsense. But the
1893 panic he says (after calling it a
panic) was not a panie at all, but a
“transition,” “mebbe” so.
Ia it true, John, that the republicans
Mk any one to vote a double purchasing
power on the dollar and thereby to re
duce the price of labor fifty per cent?
If you don’t know, you ought to know,
that the statement is false. The repub
licans contemplate no change from tbs
present monetary system except a larger
use of silver. But isp't it true, John,
that the one-mouthed double-tailed freak
asks the laborer to go to the polls and
assist in manufacturing a dollar with a
labor-paying capacity of 100 cents, but
with which he will be enabled to pur
chase but fifty-three cents worth of pro
visions and clothing? The laborer who
should be a party to such a nefarious
scheme, would merit the contempt you
manifest for him.
John makes a final wiggle about
loyalty to America etc., which comes
from modern democracy with a very
bad grace, and winds up with a pre
scription of 18 to 1 as the “safe cure” for
all financial, industrial, social, commer
cial and such other diseases as may
afflict the body politic; ignoring the fact
that all the calamities which he prev
iously enumerated (except the transition)
even “Black Friday," took place under
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at 15 or 16 to one! Evidently, John,
there is no encouragement to return to
the 16 to 1 remedy.
Now, Mr. McCafferty, if you or your
friends have any good reason to offer
why we ^should return to the 16 to 1
regime (•■ tbit teems to te the all-ab
sorbing qneition) we would be very glad
to be afforded an opportunity to take it
tinder consideration. We would like to
have it in plain unambiguous language,
shorn of useless cant and verbiage and
Of statistical statement,which by the way
are all against you, and nineteenths of
Which are no more germain to the ques
tion than the conundrum, “Who Struck
Billy Patterson?"
In dealing with your last deliverance,
Hr. McCefferty, we have not made as
many, or as serious, charges as we could
have" sustained without going beyond
your own statements. We prefer to lay
you down gently. Student.
