Three thousand people from York, Saline, Clay and Fillmore counties assembled today to hear lion. IJenjamin Butter worth of Ohio. Tho train from York had two extra coaches ioaded with people and the amo nuralier cane from Friend, bringing with them their splendid cornet band. West Blue, headed by their cornet band, ar rived early, as did Grafton with its drum corps, and also Geneva, with a uniformed marching club, cornet band and several hundred people. Delega tii us from KxeU'i , Sutton, McCool and Snick ly arrived tie fore noon and more people had gathered in Fairmont to a political in. cling than ever before in this county. At l.r.o tho p:irade started Jind reaching the iargo tout, with a seating capacity ol ,;uu, it was s'pti liiled and many stood on the outside. The exercises were opened by the lixeter quartet, which pleased the audience and they were encored. Tb3 sm;.kti ilthe day, Hon. Benja min Liutterworth, was then introduced and (or over two hours he held tho close attention of his audience, who insisted on his continuing until time for his train to leave. He was logical, earnest, patriotic, eloquent and con vincing. It was a speech that makes votes and at its conclusion Mr. Butter worth received a genuine ovation. Tin- II. N. !fy Kls4inleau t'lult.

T1IK JkKWH' LEAIXET NO. 1. (Cut this out and put it in your pocket for reference.) Some well meaninc people are greatly puzzled to understand why, if tho silvor dollar would bo a 50 cent dollar under a free and un limited coinage net, it if not a 50 cent dollar now; and why, if it is as good as a gold dollar now, it will not contiuuo to bo worth 100 coots. Ilenublicnos and gold democrats are charged with asserting that the sil ver dollar now in circulation i9 a 50 cent dollar. They assert nothing of the kind. The present silver dollar is no moro a oO-cent dollar than the present paper dollar ia u 50-cont dol lar; and no sound money man says that it is. The bullion in the present silver dollar is, to be sure, worth only 50 cents. But what of that? The government does three things for the silver dollar. (1) It pledges its faith to ihe holder to keep it at par with gold. (2) It binds itself to accept it in payment of debts due the govern ment as the full tauivalent of 100 cents :n cold. (3 It maintains at all times a sufficient gold reserve in tho treasury as a guaranty for the redemption of its promises. Because it does these three thinsrs, it has a right lo insist that silver dollar shall be a legal tender for KK) cents measured in gold, and the power to secure its accoptaice as such in business transaction i between private citizons. Should it fail to do these three things, or any one of them, the legal tender act would become a dead letter, and the silver dollar would pas current at its bullion value and no more. Now, if unlimited coinage of silver were allowed at the false ratio, that is. any ratio other than tho commer cial ratio, the covernment could no lonirer redeem the silver dollar in gold, directly or indirectly. So many silver dollars would be coined, that they could not bo unloaded uton the government in the payment of treas ury dues. The only way in which the government could maintain the parity between its gold and silver coin would be by exchanging gold for silver aud silver for gold on do in and. To do this, a larger gold re serve would bo necessary. But, in stead of being largely under free and unlimited coinage it would disappear entirel3T. Then tho pledge of the government to maintain the silver and the gold dollar at par with each other would become worthless because impossible of fulfillment. That would eliminate from tho silver dollar the element of credit which now attaches to it and floats it at douhle its in trinsic value. It would then bo worth no more than it is worth as bullion, and no man would accept it in trade for more thau fifty cents in gold. When all this process of deprecia tion should have been gone through and the end of it reached, then and not until then tho eilver dollar would be a "0-cent dollar. The ex pression a ou-cent uoiiat relates exclusively to the future, not to the present current valuation of the silver uollar. It is a prophecy and a warn ing. WKKPINO WATF.lt NOTES.

A recent find of the Chicago police in a room occupied until last spring by an anarchist agitator nameit Destman who is now located in Dallas, Tex., will probably throw much light on tho secret affairs of thoanarchists of the Haymarkct massacre, some of whom were hung and the others pardoned a couple of years ngo by Altgeld who took occasion to denounce the courts for hanging "innocent men" when he extended executive clemency to those who escaped the gallows and went to prison. There was dynamite enough in va rious shapes in the valise and trunk left by Bestman to destroy half of Chi- cago. mere were also pienry oi iti- ters and documents, including corres pondence between Bestman and tho executed anarchists and also some cipher correspondence from Germany, that when deciphered may rcvcai the i entire plot. I AtthA time of the ilav market crime , Bestman was extending the proselyt- ing for the gang in Kansas City and thus escaped, in the absence ot incrim inating documents, implication in the murders. The unravelling of the Hay- market plot will have a healthy effect on the country. It is to be hoped that a thorough investigation of the Best- man documents will prove them as im portant as they are now bolieved to bo by the Chicago iolico.

General Paul VanderVoort attended the Illinois populist state convention on the join, ana in auurcssiut; .e convention had this to say: "You can 'corner' silver as easily as you can corner goiu. oupinrse? have free coinage of 6ilver. Mr. Mor- J gan and his associates can hold a meeting and agree to gather up $300,- 000,000 of silver certificates. Then thev can take out of the United States treasury that amount of silver bullion and take it to the mints. It would take more than six years to coin all this eilver, and lecause they were first come they would be first served; the syndicate could keep out of the mints the annual silver product of this country. It took six years to build the mint that was built the quickest; it took eleven years to build the mint it took the longest to build.

No grass is too heavy or too light, no land is too rough and ne service is too revere for this plucky little Ideal hero. Instead of friction bearings it has rollers and balls; the crank shaft is parallel with the ground so that the SELF-ADJUSTING PITMAN moves steadily BACK and forth in work man like fashion: the separated ledger plates hold the grasses like the roller of a feed cutter, and uothmg can escape or draw in under tho sickle; the adjustable drag bar pays the interest on the investment. The driver of tho Ideal Mower can cut as slow as ho likes and it is never necessaay to back when starting. The uso of roller and ball bearings, has eliminated friction, and instead of grinding the bearings all the power is used in cutting grass. Drop in for a Catalogue.
