OOIXQ WK8T. tor? THE RALLY AT THE WIGWA21 LAST Notwithstanding the shower of rain that fell about seven o'clock and the heavy clouds still threatened further watery favors, a large audience assembled at the wigwam at 8 o'clock. The meeting was called, to order' by President Boss of the Hayes and. Wheeler club, and opened with song from a glee club of young ladles and gentlemen who contributed three songs to the delight of the audlance during the evening. The first speaker J.

R. Harding, only talked a few minutes when H. A. Neal, of Charleston, took the stand, and in spite of the rain which tended to disturb the audience, made a most excellent speech, in which the history of the parties was considered briefly and therefrom the duty of a continued support of the republican principles was forcibly and ably shown. The closest attention was paid throughout and his ringing sentences were many times applauded.

When he concluded Judge Steele was called for, and for more than half an hour ably answered some of the democratic criticism of his political views, and made an able presentation of the Importance of electing republican members of congress and the legislature. The meeting was a good one and an earnest of what will be when the cam paign is fairly under way. Last Wednesday, upon the complaint of some one, Judge Adams came over from Charleston and issued a venire to Sheriff Moore, who summoned a jury of six men to inquire into the sanity of Ed R. Buckland; which proceeding was afterward adjourned until Saturday. The democrats now charge that it wag done by the republican part- Id Mattoon out of revenge, because Buckland does not support Cannon, and that eleven out of twelve of the jury are republicans packed to find him insane as charged.

There are several little difficulties in the way of such a theory of the case. Nine-tenths of the republicans of the town were opposed to any proceedings of the kind. The jury was only composed of six men, and they were summoned by a democratic sheriff. If the jury was packed it wa9 purposely done by Sheriff' Moore to enable his democratic assoctites to howl about it. As many democrats as republicans have repeatedly said on our streets that Buckland as crazy, and we challenge a disproof of the truth of this statement.

A letter from George Cartmell, dated Aug. 3, says he thinks of leaving Den ver this week for Southern Kansas where he will be for a time. He says: 'The grasshoppers have come again to Colorado, or rather have just commenced to eat up every kind of vegetation out of doors. They have probably been here all the time, only waiting for the farmers to get everything in good shape for them to commence work. The corn fields are already black with them and little or nothing will escape, except uch fields of wheat as have been har vested.

There never was better pros pects for good crops than this year, and now that the grasshoppers have appear ed there is wide spread discouragement and dissatisfaction, and many of the farmers will leave Colorado for other states. "The weather has been very hot and oppressive this summer, and health not so good as previous years. My health has not been as good In Colorado as in Mattoon, and I think I shall return there in preference to living In Denver or any other place In Colorado. A Farmlngton correspondent gives us the following Items Some improvement is making In Farmlngton. Brashear Matthews are building a very fine store room.

The crops in this vicinity are only tolerable, but better than was expected. Wheat Is turning out fair and corn promises to be light, but will be better than was looked for earlier In the season Tho young pcoplo have cotillion par- tics en the brain. Last Sunday night two very low young men wrappeu inemseives in sheets and attempted to frighten two young ladles, but their project did not prove successful. Mr. Lyman will teach the Farming- ton school next winter.

There was a very Interesting concert at the MeAhodlst church last Tuesday evening. Mr. Stafford and family will leave our village soon. Broker. ADTERTISED LE1TERS.

ALSHULER'S, One door west of F. A M. Bank. the following letter to the editor of the Peoria Transcript.

As i great deal has been said concerning a few ran la remarks that I made weiore tne county convention me otner day, and a great deal mere about remark! that I never mode, I think It right for me to tell what 1 did lay. First I did iay that the worst Ward in New York, the ward In which there 7 7 Tii It, ia the most most crime the most vice ana tne moat nee, would give the largest Democratic majority. oecona aia say speaking or General Grant, that he has done more than anv other man, probably to save the nation mat i coma not rorget that at Donaldson the eagle circled up the cliffs to victory for the first time, and that when I heard a dirty lousy democrat or rebel slander and curie him I felt outraged. Third I did say that this was a time of suspicion that everybody suspected everybody. That if an office holder had on a decent suit of clothes.

he was charged with stealing them.and that lazy loafers would stt on the corners with faces that had not been washed for a year and denounce every man witn a clean shirt "as a thief." Upon the subject of shirts, dirt, and vermin I made no other observations. What I did say is bad enough and surely true enough without any addition wnacever; Due Dad as it is ana true as it is I am willing to and do stand by every word. I do sar that the worst wards the worst cities and the worst states, are the Democratic wards, the Democratic cities, the Democratic states. I do say that the Hamburg murderers are supporters of Tilden and Hendricks. I do say that the haters of liberty the assassins of colored men, women and children the masked wretches who ride to' the hut of the freedman and shoot him down like a beast, disregard-lnf the prayers and tears of wife and children, I do say that these men are not for Hayes and Wheeler.

I do say that the real friends of liberty are the only friends of labor and that those who vote for Hayes and Wheeler are the best friends of liberty, labor and love. I write this for one reason, and for one reason only. I am unwilling that any one should believe that I judge men by their position or condition instead of by 'their heads and hearts. eV R. O.

Ingkrsoll. FASHION NOTES. One of the stylish novelties of the season consists of imported costumes made of cream colored 1" rench percale, trimmed with a profusion of Smyrna lace, and ornamented ith loop9 and bows of scarlet ribbons. Sometime. knife-pleated ruffles are employed, edged with narrow Smyrna hue; sometimes ruffles of broad on very scant, are used lor the front of the skirt and the bottom of the over-skirt, and the pleating confined to the buck.

The detail is Immaterial, for It varies with every whim of the modiste; the principal fact to be considered is the combination, which is-of course very striking, and thesudden popularity of a kind of luce which was never before used for anything but trimming bouse linen and common underwear. This combination of scarlet with cream (deep cardinal scarlet) is seen in hats, and in evening wraps of lace, or knitted wool for the shoulders. Now white (or cream) predominates, and the red forms a vivid bit of color. But next winter If the rage for scarlet continues and it will Jt may be expected toen-ter largely Into the body part of morning and evening dresses; andtho white of lace embroidery, or galloons, will form the trimming. RIBBONS.

Ribbons were never so lavishly used as now "I did not know there was so much ribbon in the world," was the remark of a lady after visiting the parlors of the leading hotels In Saratoga one line morning. And. Indeed. It did seem as though there was enough to furnish the stock in trade of a good many shops. Few broad sashes or stiff bows and ends were to be seen, but quantities of narrow ribbon were arranged in Irregular loop and festoons; ill round oows down the front; in bands and bows and ends for the sleeves; and wherever a bow of ribbon could And a place.

Lace wraps for the shoulders -are much (rimmed with knots oi pale and ratner broad blue ribbon, with a narrow edge on both sides in India cashmere pattern. Lace and ribbon, principally white or cream colored lace takes all sorts of forms for the neck and head. An old appearance Is given to the lace by skillful manipulation, and by steeping In coffee, for nothing can be conceived more undesirable than fresh, crisp, white lae, and it Is then associated with soft silk, or ribbon and crushed flowers, until the whole has a tumbled, antique appearance, which is the perfection of style. The favorite fans of the season are Australian or Indian birds on navy blue silk, mounted on tortolso shell sticks; European birds, such as the nightin gale, linnit, swallow or Bparrow, on ecru silk; fishing sails, painted in the cream shades on pale blue, and chalk landscapes on gray faille. Sun hats worn by ladies at the seaside represent a chopplng-dlsh inverted and covered Wltji tarletan and velvet.

To see anything ladles have to throw their heads Dock as if gargling. Hon. II. C. Burchardof this State, In a late able1 speech on finance, made the following sensible observation on the panic, which Tilden absurdly attributes to Republicanism "The panic and present depression In business arose from causes disconnected from the currency.

The high prices, the unprofitable investments, tha overproduction and diminished consumption of clothing, and manufactures in 1872 and previous years may have been aided but were not occasioned by previous currency inflation. The collapse of values was but the sudden and violent return to the normal standard of prices. It left speculators possessed of lands, and goods and stocks on a falling Tho County Collector of Ford coun ty, 111., has levied on and advertised for sale eight box-cars of the Chicago and Taducah Railway Chmpany nt Gibson City, for the delinquent taxes for the year 1874. This Is one of tho cases In which the order enlolnlng the collec-llou of taxes has been recently With this issue the Mattoon GaZcti enters npon its fifth year since its publication was re-commenced. The patronage it has received indicates that its proprietors Were hot mistaken when they believed that such a paper would be liberally patronized.

We desire to acknowledge the hearty support we have received, and to say that our ideal paper has by no means been produced, and that we shall endeavor in the future to make such additions and improvements as shall still further commend the Gazetti to the people of this vicinity, and all who desire news from Hat-toon and Coles county. CITY Iff BRIEF. J. A. Mulford and family are at Evanston.

Horse fair in progress at Sullivan this week. Fast trotting Friday afternoon. Mrs. Goldgart is spending a few weeks at Waukeshaw Springs north of Chicago, Several couples of the young folks from this place had a picnic at Linder's grove last Wednesday.

Several couple of the young folks from here were entertained by Miss Nannie Hutchinson at her home Mon day evening. Organization of the townships of the county is going forward, and in due time Coles county wheel into line for Hayes and Wheeler. The Mattoon Journal prints a Mattoon news item and credits It to the Cumberland Democrat, that appeared in the Gazette two weeks ago. There will be a meeting at Dry Grove next Tuesday night to organize a Hayes and Wheeler club. Republicans are invited to go out from Mattoon.

The 4th quarterly meeting for Mat toon circuit will be held August 19 and 0, at Paradise, in the grove, in the form of a basket picnic. All are invited. Ed.

Let it be distinctly understood that the republican party Is not one of proscription. Such acts are resevred for the democracy. Hence we utter what we know when we say that the republican party docs not approve of the action against Buckland for Insanity. The Commercial this week indicates that the campaign Is not to be fought here on the merits of the Issues before the people, honestly and fairly discussed, but by Inuendo, misrepresentation and slander. We have had several slop buckets full from the same source at previous elections and can expect the same again.
