Democrats made a studied effort Wednesday evening to keep their silver party followers awav from the Harris meeting. The silver demoera tic managers staid away and they did their best to keep away the rank and file. But few of the silver democrats were present and this was done for what effect it might Lave. Silver Democrats howl Ifi to 1 to their party fellows hut don’t believe in going any further. They don’t want their voters to hear the truth and thus get their eyes opened to the folly that the democratic party holds out to them So strong was this stay away sentiment carried that silver editors were conspicuous for their absence, and they will now no doubt try to make it appear this week that a small crowd was present, with no enthusiasm, etc., etc., in the usual democratic stereotyped form of misrepresentation. .Mr. Harris' speech will do great good.

The Democrat is beginning to sh >w that its record in 1893 upon matters political is beginning to hurt it. It is squirming around and trying to defend itself against itself and now hugs Mr. Stockwell, the populist, whom it lambasted to the extent of two or three columns a week. The Democrat wants what it said about populists then, wiped out now, and a fresh start taken. It wants its record on the Sherman repeal law kept in the dark, because it now shows up the weakness of its position. Three years ago the democratic congress and a democratic president repealed a law that was buying more silver than any law ever placed on the statute books. They then had too much silver for the good of the country. Now they claim that with free coinage they will have none too much. This all within three years. Surely the Democrat doesn’t think everybody in Putnam is foolish. That papers was wrong or is wrong now. Which?.

Send news to Telephone 95. It’s funny the democratic papers do not say something about the report of that silver commission that in 1877 reported that there was no “crime of’73.” Senator Jones was chairman of that committee. Come, gentlemen, keep up the pace, don’t stop too soon. If you do you will have nothing left but free trade.

Joe Seaman goes to Elkhart county tomorrow for several week’s visit. A party was given last evening at the residence of Mi-s Alice Paxton, on east Washington street partly in honor of Miss Hannah Arthur, of Louisville, and on account of Miss Paxton’s departure for an extended visit in Franklin. The evening was most pleasantly spent, all present lending themselves j to the tnlluenee of the many games and conversation.

Mu. Harris dwells pertinently upon the fuels that Thomas Jefferson was the first great “gold bug” democrat. In 1800, as president, he issued an order suspending the coinage of the silver dollar which remained in force lor thirty' years. This was done because the new dollars of the United States mint were worth more than the old Spanish and French coins then largely in circulation and were being bought up by speculators for export.

trees brought upon the country by the mismanagement of the country ity democrats; showed where former democratic pledges had failed and then went into the new question, remarking that the republican party never had failed to meet an issue. Mr. Harris took up the question of standards of values and measurements and made by his best periods clear the fact that silver was never intended to he the standard of value in this country, could never be and would never be. He especially analyzed some of Mr. Bryan's recent speeches and wither!ngly showed up their fallacies. Mr. Harris closed his speech with a proverb wh ! eh was unique but which illust’ael the many points of his speech to a nicety. It vvas the story of a miser who had $100 in gold. $100 in silver and $100 in paper. Fire consumed his house and the money was burned The paper disappeared altogether, the gold and the silver were melted into two separate chunks. The miser took his gold mass to a je weler aud was paid $100 for it, for Us value had not been impaired; he took his silver chunk which had formerly been $100 to a jeweler and was paid $50 for it. When the miser asked what had become of tbe other half of his $100, the reply was that it had “gone up in fiat.” This story brought down the house. Our space is inadequate to give a review of Mr. Harris' speech, lu another part of this paper we produce an article from the pun of Mr. Harris that contained severisl of bis statements and points trade last evening that will bear preserv jng. The meeting was a vote getter

Scrofula Infests the blood of humanity. It appears in varied forms, but is forced to yield to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which purifies and vitalizes the blood and cures all such diseases. Read this: “ In September, 18SM, I made a mlsatep and Injured my ankle. Very soon afterwards, A Sore two inches across formed and In walking to favor it I sprained my ankle.

He •aitl a great deal in a few words, as he always does and the program would not have been complete without his presence. He spoke of the remarkable history of the family and even compared it to that of Noah. He concluded his remarks by a kind word to us all an I a Hggestion tlmt if we copied after the

He also witnessed the struggle with Mexico, lu polities he was a Jackson democrat, to which party the family is devoted today. He lived to be near 100 years o.d. Both he and his wile are members of the Hurtl.slie.ll Baptist church. To him and his devoted wife were born twelve children, whose names are Elijah, .Limes, Reuben, William, John, Perry, Hentv Reynolds, Frances, Mary, Phoebe, Sallie an 1 Nancy. All the children were

married.

Henry Reynolds Arnold married Miss Sallie A. Banta on Jan. 17, is:;!), who was the only member of that family present. Her luisband, Henry Reynolds, lived to be 5:1 years olu. He met his death by a stioi.e of lightning while tiireshing wheat on an adjoining farm. His patient wife mourned her loss, anil sorrows, and cares ushered them selves pi the front, but she courageously bore them all and took up the ntali' ami planned for her large family which consisted of five hoys anil live girls. Their n uies are William A. J., Lot L'., Oliver Henry. James II., Reuben R. B Eliza J me, Mary Ann, Margaret F.. Sarah L. and Nanct f’. Five of the boys are living and one of the girls, i’lie boys are all married but Reuben, but ‘'where there is life there is hope.” William A .1 m.i -led Miss Purcell and they have a family of three children.

Her trip to Kentucky from Indiana was made on horseback and the balance of the family was conveyed in a six horse wagon, she has woven about 6000 yards of carpet.

The eatables were too numerous to mention, but surely none were left at home. “Praise God from whom all blessings flow” was then sung and a prayer of thanks tende.ed by Rev.
