We under stan I they advertised that there was to lie a joint diaoutlion between Mr (iter and Mr King, the oppos nig iioiuii.ie. This was done to dra v u largo crowd and was sue OOaaful. 'fhe Oregon, u stated that Mr Hi er expressed Irs rejjrets ut dr King's abeence. Now the truth of the matter is Mr Kiii2 whs never invited to attend such meeting either diroctly or in directly. Mr King hud challenged .Mr He r for joint disjiis-ooii which Mr Qeer refuted. Mr o-cr in a private utter to one of his republican frli indl stated that he would not object to dividing time with Mr King at any of his appointed places for speaking, but no notice was ever extended to either the Union oampaigo committee or Mr King to Ibis effect either by !el(cr or otherwise. Iheso ar i tiie t. ctics adopted by the r publican party fir the purpose of drawing a crowd and misleading the people us to the true situation ol the facts. PBIZE MONKY. A DEAR MOM The republican financial system favors resting our entire coinage and money insue on gold which is only one-fourth oftho money in circuit lion. T herein lies the weak ness of thl gold standard theory. Such fllUtnolerinfJ cannot but ap preciate the value ol the scarce in nicy, gold, and depreciate the value of tbe other money me'.al, silver, together with all the pro due's which money buys. It does not need a wise man tj kill us that a scarcity of anything for which llnro is great demand causes an appreciation of its value. i no capture Ol SpanilO mer chantman brines up the u -tion Al to the division of przo money. When the prill is of equal or su- erior force to the vessel making the capture, the net prooeedi go to the captors. It it is of inferior torce, one-half ol the proceeds go to the United SUtel and the other half to tbe captors, The Com mander of the lleet gets one- twentieth of tho proceeds, the Meet Captain the same, the Commander of the vi .-sol unking the capture "in tenth part, and the remainder is divided among the orew of tho ship inuking the capturo in propoi tion to the rate id pay received by them. It is an old saying that prise money is distributed bv bifting it through a ladder. T ho money thai is caught on die rungs and sides of the ladder falls to the seamen; that which plsm through to the officers. Not a bad division for thl officers. tier of his leKlslativu ticket.
