From that date machinery was set at work to knock out one-half or more of the specie to pay with. That is very strange. In business matters a man that would do that would be called a lunatic and the court would appoint a guardian for him. That it should take the people twenty years to seewhatistbematter is stranger yet But to talk about redeeming the dol lar of the constitution the silver dollar in gold, strpasses lunacy. Our lan guage fails, and here we pause. D. J. POYNTEB. Everything Lovely, We free silver follows are doing pretty well, I thank you. We have one candi date for president, and two for vice-president.

Senator Marion Butler, the new chairman, is young, vig orous, energetic and intensely in earnest, and we have every confidence that be will make a most efficient chairman. The old committee, though the recip ient of many cruel stabs in the house of its friends, retires crowned with honor honor richly won by the success and growth of the peoples party during its administration. Chairman Taubeneck's work will shine brighter and be more and better appreciated as the years go by. Progressive Farmer. For Free Silver, Lenox, Iowa, July 25, 1896. Editor Independent: Mr. McLaugh lin of Lincoln, Nebraska is now traveling through southwestern Iowa pleading the cause of W. J. Bryan and free silver. Mr. McLaughlin said in conversation to day "the common people are thinking as they never thought before" and urges that good speakers be sent out at once as the people are ready and willing to be taught. Mr. McLaughlin said, "In my opinion W. J. Bryan will carry this state without a doubt." Lenox Silver Club, A New York Prediction. The nomination by the free silver re publican convention and the populist convention this week places Bryan of Nebraska at the head of the greatest popular movement of this century. It makes him, more than was lamented Lincoln, in his day, the popular leader and represenative of the great American people. Despite his chivalrous desire to link his own success with that of Arthur Sewall, we feel confident that Mr. Bryan will ac cept promptly the populist nomination. N. Y. Mecury. $100 Reward $100- , .

McCutcheon and Judge Mo Cafferty of the Ramsey county delega tion on the ground that they had bolted Bryan and the platform, an attempt was made to give Lawier and MeCutoheon a hearing, but when they attempted to speak they were howled down. Both spoke defiantly and de clared that while they could not vote for MoEinley they wonld not vote for Bryan. MoCutcheon is to be the Min nesota representative at the gold Democratic conferenee at Indianap olis. All attempts to preserve order proved futile and McCutcheon left the plattorm with the remark: "All right, gentlemen, we will meet you at Phil- The three men left the hall amid the derisive shouts of hundreds of an gry men.

BnunBGKAJf, Ala., Aug. 6. Further election returns confirm the first re ports of a eomplete Democratic vic tory with surprisingly large gains. The count in the large counties has been slow, especially in the big cities, but official and estimated returns, the latter based on reports received from a majority of the boxes in the counties reporting, show that Johnson and the Democrats have certainly car ried forty-five out of fifty-six counties Ooodwyn, Populist, has fifteen coun ties. Six counties have not been heard from or are too close to figure upon. Of the last named Johnson probably has four and Goodwyn two. It is believed that the f nil returns will show a majority of not less than 45. 000 for Johnson, and possibly 60,000. As oompared to the election in 1894 the Democrats have carried certainly fifteen counties that gave Populist majorities two years asro. EXGOV. ANTHONY DYING.
