Remington Notes.

Goodland’s Pan Handle agent sold 180 tickets to parties who celebrated the 4th day of July here. Misses Effie Luckey and Hattie Chappell all have handsome new bicycles, and to be sure they are all correspondingly happy. Mrs. Laude Nelvie. who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Bowman of this place, has returned to her home in Ohio. Misses Ada and Ona Wilson, who have been for some time past visiting friends in Illinois, have returned to their home in Remington. Robert Diiker, a colored man who has lived in Goodland for many years past, died at his there last week. He was an ex-soldier. There has been more mowers and binders sold in Remington this year than ever before in any one season and there are probably still more to follow. Our qld friend and neighbor Robert Watson, who has for the post year or two made his headquarters at William Shepherds, left here Tuesday of last week for an indefinite sojourn with’ friends at Flemingsburg, Kentucky. Mr. Edward Green, one of our 1 best farmers north of Remington will build a fine residence in the north-east part of town this fall, and will probably occupy the same as soon as it is complet°d. Ed is a good citizeu and we will welcome him as a resident of our beautiful city. \ Attorney James T. Saunderson formely of Kentland, who has been practicing law in Okla homa, and Southern California for several years past, has lo cation in Denver, Colorado, where he will still be engaged in the practice of law. We wish him abundant success in his new field of labor. Our Christian brethern anti cipate a splendid meeting at Fountain Park beginning on Friday the 17th inst. They have an excellent program for each ,of the ten days it will be held Bro. Updyke will open the meeting with a lecture entitled “ The Blues, and their Cure.” Everybody is cordially invited to attend all of this series of meetings. The democrats celebrated the Chicago nomination of Mr. Brydn as their candidate for pre sident last Friday night in proper style, by firing cannon; they also had a good display of fire works and also sent up several ballons. They made a great deal of noise, and if their votes count out in proportion to the noise they made, Mr. Bryan will surely be elected president. Mr. Dennis Riley and Miss Jennie Shearer both of Remington were united in the holy bonds of matrimony last Wednesday in their new home which had previously been neatly furnished. The ceremony was performed by the Hon. Judge Chappell after which the happy couple proceeded to keep house at once. Our best wishes for their future prosperity and happiness are hereby extended. The nomination of William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for president and Sewah of Maine for vice-president by the Chicago democratic ' convention last week gives universal satisfaction to the democrats over this way, and a great majority of the People’s Party are very much pleased with the candidates and also the platform-upon which they stand, and they express the desire and hope that their nat ional convention which is to be held in Si. Louis on the 22nd inst. will endorse or nominate outright the same candidates as theia standard bearers. They argue, with good reason too, that if .this course is pursued, the advocates of the single gold standard will be sound'y defeated, and that in that extent the country will at once again enter upon a region of prosperity not before witnessed during its entire history. We the light of the depressed condition of the country's finances, and the consequent low prices of ail agri culture products, and of labor, we sincerely trust that Jheir hopes, and desires may be fully realized.

Laws made by lawyers for purpose of providing attorney fees do not serve the people who pay the fees. Strange that the fellows who never earned an honest penny in their lives should be the only advocates of “honest money.” The people will not again be fooled by the Democratic party. The only hope for free silver is through the People’s party. The money question cannot be kept down even by the nineteen-plank platform adopted by the Republican national convention. Populism is growing like the flowers of spring—noiselessly, but node the less rapidly, wherever the sun of troth warms the soil of intelligence The Populists will gladly welcome aL» silver men who are earnest enough to leave the old parties. We can meet them half way, but cannot go into either old party to join them. The richest, most inexhaustible sliver mines of the world are located in America, but because European moneylenders prefer gold, we cannot even have our own silver coined for use at home. It appears that congress passed that river and harbor appropriation bill over the president’s veto not so much on account of the merit of the bill as to show its utter contempt for Grover Cleveland. At the burial ground of parties we realize that the destiny of the nation is in the hands of the people, who can dissolve parties or organize new ones as they please, caring naught for the woee of politicians. It was under the McKinley tar iff that President Cleveland made !■' first issue of bonds—yet Republl. all us that a restoration of the McKinley tariff will keep up the gofd reserve and prevent the issue of bonds. Well, some of those Republicans who talked about bolting were tn earnest. They had good cause for walking out long ago. It has taken the Populists quite a while to convince them that the money question was the Important issue, and their own party has shown them the hopelessness of a fight "in-■»ide-th''-nnrty ”
