do not reach this olass of unconcerned, disinterested voters. The $573 worth of information furnished two weeks before the last election by the Republican and Democratic Sentinel, never, in all probability, enlightened a half dozen voters in the county. The men for whose benefit the ofcial ballot is published always get their information by hearing the subject discussed by asking questions and by being instructed at the polls on the morning of the election. Hon. J. B. Cheadle. ex-mem-ber of Congress from the 9th district, is out in an extended article against the repeal of the Sherman silver law unless it is replaced by free coinage. If our memory is not at fault, the Hon. J. B. Cheadle voted against free coinage when in congress, but now r that he is out where he can do nothing, he favors it. Joe says the “Republican party must take no step backward upon the silver question.” The poor deluded man. Don’t he know that his party never took a step forward on that question, that they demonetized silver nineteen years ago, and have steadily as a party fought its remonetization. The truth is Joe wants back to the scenes of his former glory and reads aright the signs of the times and knows that hereafter no one but a free coinage man can go from Indiana, hence this hasty repentance. Joseph, it will avail you nothing. You sinned away your opportunity and now you must abide the consequence. Poor Joe.

As a specimen of magnificent lying, we take the following from a speech of Governor McKinley before the Republican League Club at Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 14, 1893. . “In a few days the country passes into the control of the Democratic party, in a condition of matchless prosperity in every department of industry. We do not leave them a legacy of hard times, idle industries, unproductive enterprises, and unemployed labor. We turn over to them a country blessed with unprecedented activity in every avenue of human employment, with labor in active demand and better paid than in all our history before; a government with unparallelled resources and credit, and with no stain upon its honor.”

*To have told the truth, he would have said, the nation has an indebtedness of thirty-four billions of dollars, fourteen billions of which is due foreigners, we have nine million of mortgages, four billions of dollars of farm mortgages, one million of idie men seeking employment, (see labor statistics,) ten millions of unfed people, (see John J. Ingalls’ Glen Echo speech,) agriculture conducted at a loss for the past fifteen years, (see interview of Secretary Rusk,) the military under arms in four states at one time to overawe dissatisfied and striking vTorkingmen. Governor McKinley knew he was falsifying when he gave that highly colored picture, but his party laid down the plan at their national convention when they said “the country is prosperous iu field, factory, and mine,” and they persistently adhered to it throughout the campaign. One would naturally have supposed their crushing defeat last fall would have taught them something, but it seems not from the governor’s late utterances, in which he repeats the stale falsehoods of the campaign, and from which we infer that they intend to keep at it.

Rogers, of Bay City, Mich., accidently spilled scalding water over her little boy. She promptly applied Be Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, giving instant relief. It’s a wonderfully good salve for burns, bruises, sores and a sure cure for piles. A- F. Long & Co.
