"A Eepublkan TeUs Why He Shall 1
Vols for Ervan and Bewail. 1
As a Saturday evening caller
the ElkYn Times is ever welcom
ed and rend as a let ter from home.
The news aiid personal items are
of much interest to us. Many
of the items amuse us because so
unlike the things of the west to
which we have become accustom
ed; and yet they are the same
old things with which memory
is so famil'ar. However,
one thing noticeable in all ruial
'Journals is, that the sickness of
e horse or other nmrnol receives
more Attention than a half dczen
suicides or a hundred deaths iu
metropolitan papers.
' Since my last communication
the great National Conventions
have convened and adjourned.
It was my pleasure to mingle
uch with the delegates to the
Republican Convention which
met here in Jm e. It was my
pleasure to be present in the con
vention when Mr. McKinley was
nominated and then step out to
watch the firing of the great can
non near the convention hall.
Though I am a Republican, Iliad
already resohed not to vote in
the interest of Roman Catholic
ism, the Rothchilds and Regal
Monopolies. To vot3 for Mr.
McKinley is to do all of this.
Many of us the common indus
trial classes, had resolved not to
vote at all; for we hoped for
nothing from the Cleveland De
mocracy. But when the Chicago
Convention, as it seemed to us,
by accident, but as Hon. Chas.
Towne, of Minn., more properly
says; by direction of divine pro
vidence, nominated W. J. Bryan,
the heavy burdened began to feel
that a deliverer had come, and
now, thousands of the common
people, regardless of party affili
auTiis heretofore, will vote for
Bryan and Sewall. Just last
week there were two other
tional Conventions in this
the Populist and the -'Free
Na
city Sil
ver." to the latter of which I was
honored to be a delegate. The
Silver Convention is said to have
been, composed nf the most in
telligent men ever assembled in
the convention city. I would be
glad to tell your readers about
it. but time and space forbid
Over two thirds of tlm conven
tion were Republicans. They
nominated W J. Bryan and Ar
thur Sewall as candidates for
president and vice president by
a unanimous vote. The Populist
Convention was large It was
composed of a motly crew of all
sorts, sizes, ages, shades and
conditions of men. Their opin
ions were as various as them
selves. They endorsed Bryan,
but named Tom Watson, of Geor
gia as his running mate. This
virtually disrupts the party.
-The Middle of The Road," men,
as they styl themselves, called a
convention at the close of the
general convention, and arrang
ed for naming a new candidate
for President. The Silver Con
vention having closed on Friday
I was present Saturday to wit
ness the proceedings of the Po
pulist Convention. Bryan and
Sewall will get most of the Po
pulist votes notwithstanding the
rupture. There are many other
things which I would like to say
but must close by saying to my
friends in the Old North State
it is to the interest of the com
mon working classes to have the
mints re-opened to the coinage
of silver. I belong to that class
and will vote the National Silver
ticket. Another thing let me re
quest of you. Whatever party
you belong to, require your can
didates for Congress to pledge
themselves to work and vote for
a measure to open all convents
to official inspection. There are
tho jsands of girls in thesUnited
States, who havs never drawn a
breath of freedom, because their
guardians have, years ago placed
them in convents. Their inheri
tances havo been taken and turn
ed over to the vactican and they
are doomed t o live i n
bondage, filth, toil and subordi
nation Will the American peo
pie allow this blight to "remain
on our civilization? Wi!l not the
good American cit'zen of the
county join and help us in the
cities where these things exist
to set at liberty these thousands
of souls, who have never yet
been free?
Respectfully,
Turner Shore.

Children Cry for (
Sister Lowe Heard Froin.
Quito an amusing scene oc
curred on the street' Sunday ev
ening. ' For several weeks Mrs.
Mary Wjlcoxen Lowe 'has been
staying aV. A. 'McLean's;' last
week, how Iver, they ha'A ii mis
understanding, m'd she packed
her trunks and departed, out left
the' trunks at McLean's. She
secured a home at E. L. Hart's
and u.'oved her trunks, etc., to
homo Saturday evening. On
opening the! trunks she1 d'scoverd
that somebody hud removed two
nice whUe skirts. $'uhday even
ing a lady visited Mi's; Hart in
the course of their1 conversation
she remarked that; Anriice H6r
ton. a colored woman, had on two
pretty skirts that day. Mrs.
Wilcoxen was present. About
thy, time the lady got through
with her description of them An
lice went up the treet. and Mrs.
Wilcoxen made a break for her.
A'lively race followed, but An
nice was overhauled at the foot
of the hill just beyond E street.
Mrs. Wilcoxen had blood in her
eye, and regardless of the plead
ings of Annice she had to haul
off the siolen articles right there
in in the street. Annice has

A singing school next. Some
of the girls have already been
learning the do's and rays.
A little boy near here swallow
ed ten cents in silver the other
day. It is hoped that he will get
well as it was not counterfeit.
A king snake was killed here
the other day which crawled up
and bit himself several times af
ter his head had been severed
from his body.
Some one near here struck a
jointed snake the other day when
it flew to pieces. The headjnade
a mistake and coupkd to the.
wrong end and now his snakeship
is running backwards.
Some of the girls have gone
back on us. I guess we will have
to do like Sambo, who crawled
in the closet the other night and
heard him telling her that sho
looked like a little angel and had
eyes like a dove. He went to see
his girl the next night' and told
her she favored an Injun looked
consumptive and had eyes like a

more love.

Last summer one of our grand
children was sick with a severe
bowel trouble. Our doctor's re
medies had failed, then we tried
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which' gave
very speedy relief. We regard
it as the, best medicine ever put
on the market for bowel com
plaints. Mrs. E. G. Gregory,

tainly is the best medicine ever
put on the market for dysentery
summer complaint, colic and

never fails'to give prompt relief
when u.ed in reasonable time
and the plain printed directions
are folloed. Many mothers have
expressed their sincere gratitude
for the cures it has effected. For
