National Republican Ticket.
For President:
william Mckinley.
For Vice-President:
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Bryan and Stevenson on a 50c
dollar- haul- down- the -flag At
kinsonian platform can never
win out next November.
The Tammany ice trust is not
mentioned in the democratic
platform. A plank strong
enough to hold it could not be
found.
The silver republicans and
populists seem to have gotten
their fingers burned at. Kansas
City. They will get their eyes
opened next November.
With au administration that is
reducing the national debt sever
al millions per month as well as
keeping the mechanic at work at
good wages, the outlook is ex
ceedingly gloomy to the party of
"we condemn and deplore."
The contest, between Clark and
Daly, the Montana millionaires
for a seat in the democratic con
vention was decided in favor of
the former. Mr. Clark donated
a million dollars to the demo
cratic campaign fund, therefore
his delegation was seated.
Boss Crokeiv the Tammany
chief, was the whole thing at the
democratic national convention.
It is a laughable spectacle to see
the democrats resolving about
corruption in the republican par
ty. The New York ice trust dic
tated everything at Kansas City.
The St. Paul Globe has re
pudiated Bryan and free silver.
The Globe is the only democratic,
paper in the twin cities and in a
very able editorial tells why it
•wont support the candidate of
the silver party. There are
other democratic papers that will
follow the Globe.
No boss ever bossed a gang of
men with an iron hand as did
"William Jennings Bryan the
delegates at Kansas City. Bry
an was determined to have his
way and forced the 10 to 1 issue
on the democratic party, and
those opposed to him had to
swallow the dose and look pleas
ant. Mr. Bryan was nominated
for president. 110 other name be
ing presented to the convention.
The same old tight of 189(3 will be
in evidence again this campaign
and Bryan will get beaten, of*
course.
The treasury surplus for the
government fiscal year that end
ed June BO is larger even than
was expected. It stands at^Sl,
229.777. or considerably more
than double the estimate made
by the Secretary of the Treasury
last fall. June's surplus was $17,
898,11)9, which indicates that one
of the first acts of congress at
the next session will be to re
duce the war taxes, as promised
in the republican platform. Last
month the public debt decreased
$14,897,553. Government ex
penditures in the fiscal year of
190O were less than in 1899 by
$118,313,008.
Army and navy expenses were
less by §101.000,000 than in the
preceding year. In the last
fiscal year receipts from customs
increased 14 per cent., from in
ternal revenue 8 per cent and
from miscellaneous sources (3 per
cent. In spite of an army of

ations reaching from the West

government comes out of the
fiscal year with a cash surplus of
over $81,000,000.
Figures of the foreign com
merce of the United States for
the full fiscal year are not yet
made up, but enough is known
to insure that they go far beyond
any previous record. Our
foreign trade for eleven months
was $2,075,106,350, of which
$788,880,722 was in imports and
$1,286,225,808 in exports. The
indicated total for the whole year
is $1,400,000,000 of exports and
$860,000,000 of imports, an in
crease of 18 per cent, and the
largest gain in the annals of
American commerce. Gold ex
ports and imports balance each
other for the year, while the ex
ports of silver exceeded the im
ports by over $20,000,000. The
balance of trade in our l'avor for
eleven months was $497,345,086,

At sunrise on July 4th, those of our
citizens who got to sleep at all. were
awakened by the boom of cannon fir
ing the national salute, and shortly
afterwards business men were out
hustling up decorations and getting
ready for the day's work. Teams
laden with pleasure seekers came into
town from all directions and the town
soon tilled up with people. At a. m.
the bicycle parad" took place, in which
quite a large number of cyclists par.
ticipated. The judges awarded prizes
to the following:
Largest man on wheel—Jack X.
Brown.
Smallest person on wheel.—De
borah Nelson.
Best appearing gent,—Jack W.
Murphy.
Best appearing ladies.—Alice and
Kathleen Crane. Mabel Scott. Ethel
Beer.
Best Decorated Bicycle. —Lizzie
arquardt.
Most comical dressed person,—Mat.
Peterson.
The crowd then went to the fair
grounds to witness the five mile bicycle
race in which a dozen different riders
started out. llolton. of Larimore
came iu first, with Theo. Marquardt,
of Cooperstown, a close second. The
base ball game between Hope and
Cooperstown was called and from
start to tinisli was full of interest, iirst
one side and then the other being
ahead, Hope finally winning. Score
1-4 to l.'i. Cooperstown should have
won easily, but made some bad plays
the first part of the game.
AFTKKNOON.
The exercises after dinner opened
with a green colt race. There were
three entries for this: Felma owned
by Joe Ralph: Prince, owned by J. W,
Hero, and George H., owned by Ed.

entries, Little Bay, Waif and Kittle
Bobbie, coming in in the order named.
The Courier
Time 2.45*, 2.384, 2.424, 2,494.
A rain had been falling for some
time and the track was very heavy.
The three gaited race was won by
Daisy, Miller Phipps' driving horse.
Little Mack was second, Sinclair's
Groven third, and Pedro fourth. This
was an amusing race, one-half mile
walk, half mile trot, and half
mile run, the Phipp's' horse proving
to be a good walker.
The slow race had three entries,
Iyan Wilson's pony, Lynu Warner's
horse and Walter Morris' pony,
finishing as mentioned above.
The rain put a further stop to any
moe sports that day and continued to
rain all next day and the races had to
be declared off, disappointing a large
crowd.

The celebration world have been a
grand success had not the rain put a
stop to it, the indications pointing to
a very large crowd on the second day.
however, it is considered that while
the people were greatly disappointed
in not being able to have the-races,
that the rain has done thousands of
dollars more good to the people and
country.
NOTES.
The Tower City band furnished ex
cellent music during the two days.
This band is composed of a pleasant
set of fellows who are willing to ac
commodate in any way possible. The
Courier and Sentinel offices were
serenaded.
The business houses were nicely
decorated but the rain mixed up the
colors some.
Great credit is due the committee in
charge of affairs—they worked hard.
With such rustlers as T. E. Warner.
Maynard Crane, A. M. Baldwin. H. P.
Hammer and M. W. Buck on the com
mittee, it is a guarantee of success.
The merry-go-round amused botlF
old and young.
It was a very orderly crowd for so
large a number.
The private houses lodged a large
number of visitors and while all
could not be furnished the best bed
made, all those who got out and
hustled were accommodated all right
for such an occasion.
The general opinion is that Coop
erstown should try it again next year.
Appetite of a Goat
Is envied by all poor dyspeptics whose
stomach and liver are out of order. All

Eife Pills, the wonderful stomach and
live remedy, gives a splendid appetite,

Young men and women, if you are

ful catalogue.

S. made an exhibition mile on the

The little pacer clipped off the mile in
fine shape. The balloonist tried :o

Convention Re=Echoes.
The county superintendants of de
partment work for the present year
are as follows:
Press Work-Mrs. .julia Coleman.
Wimbledon.
Contest Work—Mrs. L. I. Camp
bell, Valley City. Heaith, Heredity
and Purity—Mrs. L. M. Northrup.
Hope. Mercy and Help, and the Far
go Home, Mrs. C. C. Tucker, San
born. Literature—Mrs. Flewell, Leal.
The Oriska and Baldwin delegates
were sadly missed. They were the
only unions not represented in the
convention.
The timely assistance and en
couragement given by both the home
and visiting honoraries was much ap
preciated by the home union.
Though the attendance was fair, yet
a larger representation of our towns
people would have made the conven
tion a still greater success. The
apathy of many good people, upon
this and kindred subjects, is well nigh
'incredible, they seem to feel that a
tacit approval absolves them from all
obligations. If the cause be a worthy
one why should even very warm
weather serve as a sufficient excuse to
remain at home when an honest effort
is being made to promote it, trusting
to the good faith of the people to giye
it moral support? Doubtless these
people would not willingly put stumbl
ing blocks in the way. yet is not here
the root ot the accusation often
brought against the W. C. T. U. with
far too much truth in it. that "it is
not doing what it ought to do?" The
best way in this world to have
thiugs done as they ought to be, is to
roll up ones sleeves and help do them
as they ought to be done. But in
spite of silent hinderers and active op
posers the temperance cause is mak
ing a mighty impress for truth and
sobriety upon the world.
