SHuginia gxtt JT, W. B- OALLAMER. Editor, Charleetou-n. Jeffereo» County, West Fa. Torms—t--00 l*er .-tnnunt in AdMlKf. June 17, 1396 Cleveland Speakh. Washington, June 16.—In reply to a request from the New York Herald tor a statement concerning the Democratic situ ation, President Cleveland to-night sent the following to that newspaper : "I have made no figures as to the proba ble action of delegates already chosen or to be choeen to the Democratic national con vention, but I refine to believe that wheu the time arrives for deliberate action, there will be eugrafted upon our Democratic creed a demand for free, unlimited and independ ent coinage of silver. I cannot believe this, because I know the Democratic party is neither uupatriotic nor foolish, and because it seems so clear to me that such a course will inflict a very great injury upon every interest of our country which it has been the mission of Democracy to advance, and will rewult in lasting disaster to our party organ ization. "There is little hope that, as a means of success, this free silver proposition, after its thorough discussion during a political cam paign, will attract a majority of the voters of the country. It must be that man\ ot the illusions influencing those now relying upon this alleged panacea tor their ills will be dispelled before the time comes for them to cast their ballots, which will express their sober second thought, lhe adoption bj the Democracy of this proposiuou wwum, * lieve, give to our opponents an advantage, both in the preseut and future, which they do not deserve. “My attachmeut to true Democracy is so strong that I consider its success as identical with the promotion of the country’s good. This ought sufficiently to account for my anxiety that no mistake be made at our party convention. In my opinion, no effort should be spared to secure such action by the delegates as will avert party demoraliza tion. It is a place for consultation and com parison of views, and those Democrats who believe in the cause of sound money should there be heard and be constantly in evi dence. “A cause worth tightiug for is worth light ing for to the end. If sound money Demo crats suppose there is danger of a mistake being made, such dauger should stimulate their activity in averting it instead of creat ing discouragement. “I am very far from arrogating to myself a controlling influence upou the policy of my party, but, as an unflinching Democrat, who has been honored by his party and who desires hereafter no greater political privi lege than to occupy the place of private in the ranks I hope I may not be blamed tor saying this much at this time iu tho interest, as it seems to me, of the grand old organiza tion so rich in houorable traditions, so justly proud of its achievements and always so un daunted and brave in its battles for the peo ple’s welfare.” Southern Republicans are treated with scaDt courtesy at St. Louis. 1 heir negro delegates have to fight for the privilege of eating, drinking and sleeping with their white colleagues, and hereafter they will be denied such representation at national Re publican conventions as have heretoiore been allowed them, and not be permitted to have two delegates from each congressional district, but only the number to which the votes they cast may entitle them. By the change, the representation from the North will be greatly increased, while that from their section will be so reduced as to make the vote of the South iu uatioual Republi can conventions of little or no account.— Alexandria Gazette.

The Notional Republican Convention be gan its st ssions at i?t. Louis yesterday. The opening was not marked by enthusiasm. The nomination of McKinley and the adoption of a gold platform seems to be a foregone conclusion. By a vote of 3o to 4 the com mittee on resolutions elected Gen. Foraker chairman over U. S. Senator Dubois,—thus showing the proportions of gold aud silver sentiment. Fairbanks of Indiana tempo rary chairman. Yesterday, whilst the St. Louis Conven tion was engaged in the preliminary work of digging the political graves of some now prominent Republicans, Mr. McKinley wa tt his Ohio home performing the service of pall bearer at the funeral of a friend. Hon. Tom B. Reed at the same time was in bis room at the Shoreham in Washington ex tracting entertainment from one of Robert Louis Stevenson's romances. The driver of a laundry wagon was nom inated by the Populists in Oregon for Con gress. He may be a serviceable man in the House—if he gets there—by putting some of the members in the way of getting their •oiled linen washed. Minnesota Democrats at the reeeut State Convention turned down free coinage of sil ver resolutions. The platform is for the present gold standard, and fot as large use of silver as is safe and consistent. An unique letter was received at the Charles Town postoffice yesterday.

Virginia and a large delegation of com pa* * triots, dcscendents of men who bore the 1 brunt of the revolutionary war, made it the ( occasion of a pilgrimage to tho historic spot 1 that a simple marker might he erected with * appropriate ceremony over Mason’s last resting place. At Gunston Hall, which Geo. 1 Mason constructed and occupied with the 1 luxury of a colonial gentleman, Mr. Joseph * Specht, the present owner, extended a very 1 cordial welcome. The visitors were shown f through the old Mansion, which has been 1 elegantly furnished. The exercises were 1 under the joint direction of the boards of c management of the Sons id the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution. c An addrena whs delivered V>y Justice Hnr- ‘1 lan, who spoke brietly ot the history of Geo. 1 Mason. With the conclusion of the address 11 Dr. Goode announced that the grave would a be designated by a marker, and Gen. A. W. 1 Greely, with brief remarks, placed tho iron 1 shaft in its place.

Editor Register: In the Charles Town idvocate of May 30th Mr. It. \V. Morrow, u a very dictatorial manner, demands of lessrs. John P. Kearfott and J. Garland lurst an answer to certain questions. Now, peaking for myself, I will say that I stand eady at any and all limes to answer auv easonable question. But it mu3t be under tood that in matters political the questions uust come from a Democrat. Ever since I nnounced myself as a candidate for nomi tation before the Democratic primary for a egislative office I have continuously and •ositively declared that in coming out for , nomination in the Democratic party I dedged myself to endorse, vote for, and in yery way support the nominees and plat orm of said party as shall be adopted at he Chicago convention. (Would Mr. Mor ow have said that two months ago? Did le not on the streets of Charles Town de ilare most positively that he and all of his leighbors intended to stay out of the pri nary unless there was a silver plank in the Chicago platform ?) I have been iuterveiw td by both gold and silver men, represent ng each faction of the party, from all sec ions of this and Berkeley counties, and I lave emphatically said that I did not pro >ose to lay down a platform for my party iu idvauce of the convention, but would stand >y the platform there announced. It must lot be understood that I have no belief or >olicy of my own on the question of the lay. But coming out as I have for this of ice, if elected it will be by the votes of the Democratic party and I want to represent tot myself, but the people of this district, roin a Democratic platform, in the West Virginia legislature. And I have declared hese sentiments to silver men who have in* erviewed me, and they have said they were jerfectly satisfied with my position, agree mr with me in all, that if I voiced the sen iineutts of this county it was what they most lesired. Of course all know that the reason of Mr. Morrow’s personal attack upon Mr. Hurst ind myself is not in the interest of the l)em* icratic party, but purely, selfishly personal, 0 advance his own candidacy before the ieople of this county. The people can send 1 man of one idea to the Legislature, hut hey would probably realize before the ses ion was over that our representative had omething else to do than coining silver.— )ur people have important interests tliai oust be legislated upon, and that ueed safe, lonservativo action that is seldom given by nen of one idea. These questions of the inancial and monetary policy of our coun ry are national, and while J believe they •re the most important and far-reaching as 0 the material prosperity of our country of ny question that lias ever been before our ieople, still we should not lose sight of the net that tho very importance of the ques ion demands the most calm aud conserva ive dealing. If the Democratic party de lares for free coinage let us see that our waders are the most conservative men that au be found in our party. Let nothing be ono in a caroloan nr hasty manner. Let lie people arise in their might und demand lost emphatically that these demagogues nd political tricksters who have been try ig for years to disrupt the party to accom lisli their own base ends shall go to the ?ar. These men have openly avowed their Mentions to bolt the party unless tho Chi ngo platform suited their views, and now irsooth they come out and demand of Detn crats their platform. Our platform will be lid down at Chicago, and by that I expect 1 stand or fall. Now, one word to the Democratic voter, u asking your support in the coming pri lary I pledge myself to abide by the Dem :ratic platform on all questions save those f honesty and morality, of these I am the lie judge. The threat has beeu freely lade of bringing out a candidate in oppo tion to me. If the farmers and laborers in’t trust me to represent them in the Leg* lature, then by all menus bring out your ian, give him the nomination in the pri iiiry, aud most cordially will I support him i the November election. I dou’t suppose tin letter is going to satisfy Mr. Morrow, ut hope he will possess his soul in patience ud it he doesn’t succeed in splitting the •emocratie nartv I will refresh his memory y asking him some questions from the •emocratic ranks, which I hope he will an ver before the primary.

The illustrated “Lee of Virginia” series was continued in the May number of Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly with a paper by Henry Tyrrell, relating to General Lee’s part in the momentous events of the years 1859-1862. These events include the John Brown raid at Harper’s Ferry, the secession of the Southern States and outbreak of the Civil War, General Lee’s resignation from the United States army, and appointment to the command of the Confederate forces of Virginia, his campaign in the west, the establishment of Jefferson Davis at Rich mond as President of the Confederacy, the first battle of Bull Run, and General Mc Clellan’s invasion of Virginia by way of the Peninsula aud advance upon Richmond. Akin to this subject is a charming sketch written by Mrs. JefTerson Davis, descriptive of life in the “White House of the Confed eracy” during the war. Mrs. Roger A. Pryor adds an interesting chapter and an exquisite portrait to her “Ancestry of Gen eral Lee.” There is also a portrait of Col. R. II. Lee, of Clarke county, nephew of “Light Horse Harry” and cousin of Gen. R. E. Lee. Col. Lee was a member of the “Botts Grays”—Co.

He was wounded whilst bearing aloft the colors of the 2nd regiment at Kernstown—the color bearer having been killed—and later disabled for active field duty, became a judge of the military court aud performed excellent service.

There f- something so shocking about sudden death that the mere mention of it wrenches the nerves of sensitive people. Millions of people pray for deliverance from it. Evs. ry Sunday in every Episcopal church in the world, these words arc said : *' from battle, and murder and sudden death. Good I.ord. deliver us.” Just why sudden death should be shock ing. and death after lingering disease easy to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It would seem that it would be more terrible to sec seme loved one wasting away, daily becoming weaker—daily slipping toward a death no less certain because it was slow ia coming. Consumption causes more deaths than heart disease - -more thaa cholera more than yellow fever—more than any other disease the world has ever known. And yet people are careless about it. A man in danger of sudden death from heart dis ea-e can avoid the danger simply by keeping quiet and avoiding excitement. Consump tion goes right on with its deadly work, no matter what the man does or how he con ducts himself, if he doesn’t take the right medicine to cure it. Consumption affects the whole body. It is a blood disease. It permeates the whole system. It shows in the lungs because the blood goes to the lungs for purification. It carries impurities there to be made pure. If there is too much impurity, the lungs are over-worked—over loaded — the impurity stops there. The germs of disease stop there They develop and multiply and then consumption takes definite form.
