As Mr. Bryau has two running mates he
ought to be popular with the polygamists
Our Populist frieuiis have picked nation
al winners for once — Wheeling R^ter.
Do you mean to say that Bryau <md Wat
son can win ?
Senator Jones, chairman of the National
Democratic committee, says Mr. Sew an will
not be withdrawn from the Presidential
ticket at the bidding of Populists who prefer
Wateon.^
By a close inspection of the Primary
Election return table, it will be discovered
that at Harper’s Kerry, in one instance
where it was said tho contest was between
popularity and principle, the ratio was as
20 to 1-240 to 12 !
Two young Norwegians, Americans by
adoption, left New York June 6th in an
18 foot row boat for Europe. They passed
the Skilly Islands after a row of fifty five
days. It looks as if the Skilly Islands was
an appropriate place to land.
The probable Republican candidate for
Congress in the Winchester district is Mr.
Robert J. Walker, of Woodstock. He is a
son of the late Col. Samuel T. Walker—a
native of this towu who was a gallant Coil
federate soldier and killed in battle.
Miss Ida Fuller, a serpentine dancer,
whilst bathing at Manhattan Beach, being
a good swimmer and venturesome, went be

may serve as an advertisement.

In New York two young men were euaui
ored of the srine girl. She smileu on oue
and “squoxe” the hand of the other. They
concluded to decide the matter by a foot
race, as they could not "out-sil" each other
when they called. Levy won. The other
man was appropriately uamed Fales.
There was an election in Alabama on
Monday. The Populists and Republicans
united on Congressman A. T Goodwyn for
governor, but Capt. J. F. Johusou secured
a good majority—an increase over that of
Governor Oates two years ago Secretary
of the Navy Herbert was present and voted
Mr. Bryan is to make his speech of ac
ceplance of the Presidential nomination at
Madisou 5*quare Gardens, New York, next

it will lose nothing of its effectiveness by
appearance in the press ot the country the
next day.
The first bale of the new cotton crop to

There are many mind* a* to what "tree
silver” and “16 to 1” mean. The following
i* a good one, and the writer wants at least
uisteen for it:
Charter, Ala , July 31, 1896. — Hon. J. G
Carlisle, Wa*hingt'*H, D- O —As soon as tree
coinage goes into effect plea*e express me
$2,000 to this office, charges paid, and let
the balance of mine come by freight. V’ours,

A Baltimore policeman left hi* post to
get shaved on Sunday. He trau*gres*ed the
Jaw by quittiag Li* po*t during duty hours,
aud the barber iufraeted it by plying his
trade ou Sunday. The policeman was Sued
#72 and transferred to another beat—ptoba
•1)1 y to one where be may let his whiskers
grow without being regarded a Populist. It
appear* the barber escaped punishment by
a close <*have.
A Cincinnati Commercial Tribune corres
pondent telegraphed his paper the following
absurdity:
“Congressman Dayton was asked this
morning whether he really believed that
Poatmas’er-General Wilson would support
him this campaign and reptied that he was
sincere in his statement last night and cer
tainly thought that he would not only have
the vote, but al*o the aid of hi* late oppo
nent.”
Of course Congre**man Dayton never
made such a statement.
Congressman Washington, of Tennessee,
believes that the Chicago platform, if car
ried ink* effect, will not bring about bimet
•allism, but will bring about silver monomet
allism, and this he is unwilling to advocate,
not being a monometallist, but a bimetallist,
advocating the largest possible use of silver
kept at par with gold. Not be'ng in accord
with the platform, uot wishing to cause pos
sible antagonisms and dissensions in the
party, not desiriug to place any of his warm
«nd earnest friends in false attitude*, Mr.
Washington frankly states hi* position and
•declines to be a candidate And this is the
position assumed by scores of well meauiug
Democrats.

A Washington correspondent of the Alex
andria Gazette writes: A Virginia Demo
crat, here to-day, says there is no doubt of
Mr. Flood’s election to Congress in the 10th
Virginia dwttict, as there is a large silver
majority in that district, and for the addi
tional reason that Mr. Flood is one of the
few lucky men he knows. He says that
though Mr. Flood, when a student with him
«t Emory and Henry College, brought a
tame coon there, which was against orders, '
he was not even reprimanded, though young
Lafferty, the present well known preacher,
was expelled for cutting it* tail off and
wearing it attached to hi* hat.
How would do.’
If the sound money Democrats of the
country decide to nominate a presidential
ticket, they mu<t be earelul that their can
didate for the pre-* deucy is as representa
tive in personal character and in public
record of the true principles aud spirit of
Democracy as is their platform. If ex-Gov
ero'<r Russell, of Massachusetts, had lived,
the honor of leading the old-fashioned Jef
fersoniau Democrats of the country in stub
a coutest would probably have fallen to his
lot. Bui there is another man who is eveu
better -uited in many respect* than Govern
or Russell to the conditions «>! the campaign
and the demands of the situation. M here
C"u!d Democrat*, who are Democrats indeed
and in truth and not in name only, find a
more representative leader or candidate who
answered so completely to every require
ment of the crisis as that champion of tariff
reform and of sound financial principles—
Hon. Win. L. Wilson, of West Virginia?
Considered from every possible point of
view he would rusk* ac ideal candidate. I n
the South thousands of Democrats vyho can'
not vote for McKinley would be proud to
cast their ballots for him, while in the
North, fcs*t and West his splendid public
i i i.:. a-r.nnmii' views would
icvuiu auu - — '-it-! —
appeal strongly to the confidence and ado
ration of the Democratic masses.
In such a campaign *• this, sectional con
sideration should have no weight, Tbe fact
that Mr. Wilson lives in a southern State
aud that he was a Confederate soldier would
rather add than detract from his availability
fur tbl present purpose. Hi* selection
would be a compliment to the,South, as
well as a practical expression of confidence
iu that section which would not be tbfowa
away.
A Democrat of the old Mbooi, broad
minded and well-balanced, strong and hon
est in his conviction* and sound on every
public question of intellectual depth as well
as brilliancy, of stainless public life »ud
private honor, a pure patriot and a states
man iu the bestseuseof the word, the sound
money iK'mocrats could, as we have said,
find no abler or more representative leader
iu tbe country than Mr. Wilson, and, more,
we believe, who would rally to the support
ut a third ticket so large or so enthusiastic
a following.—Jiaftimorc Sun.

l'ue President has appointed John Sheri
dan of West Virginia, a government direc
tor of the Uniou Pacific Railway Company,

Senator Faulkner, of West \ irginia, chair

idan for the office. The appointment was
decided on at this meeting of the Senator
and the Secretary, subject to the approval
of the President, which was given—so says
a Washington telegram.

Garfield in an address on "The Future of
tLe Republic,” delivered at Hudson, ().,
July 2, 1873. speaking of the danger of be
ing deluded iuto security by political catch
words, devised to flatter r-tinv than instruct,
said that we had happily escaped the dogma
of the diviue right of kings aud ought not
to fall into the equally pernicious error that
a multitude is diviue became it is a multi
tude. He recalled the warning of Hr. Fran
cis l.ieber on this subject: "Woe to the
c t.utry iu which political hypocrisy first
calls the people almighty, theu teaches that
the voice of the people is divine, then pre
tend- to take a mere clamor for tue true
voice of the people, and lastly gets up the
desired clamor.” Garfield proceeds: "It is
oulv when the people speak truth and jus
tice that their voice can be called ‘the voice
of God.’ ’’

will please have the money ready at
their houses from this date until the
collector calls. We would sug
gest in case tne husband should be
absent when the bin arrives to leave
the money at the house with some of
the family, in order to give us as lit
tle trouble and delay as possible, for
we will be very busy during our
delivery, and will appreciate our
patrons saving U3 time and trouble,
in being ready to meet their pay
ments promptly* Jn case any one
who has favored us with an order
desires their bin before our collector
gets to their houses, they cau get the
bin by calling at our dike and pay
ing for same.
We trust it will not lie ncccessary
for us to force collections on any of
our orders, but if necessary wc will
be compelled to do so, as wc have
ordered a bin for every order wc
; have taken, and will expect everyone
to pay us promptly on delivery.
Our orders all read *“ deliver to me
in the month of July or August, 1890,
or as soon thereafter as convenient,
one Economy Flour Bin, for which I
will pay you or your collector, upon
delivery of the same, the sum of six
dollars and fifty cents (or five dollars
and fifty cents). The bin for deliv
ery to be in every respect like the
sample shown by salesman.”
We desirfc to thank the people of
Hilaries lo'vn anu vicinity iur iuu
kindness and courtesy shown our
salesmen, and for the liberal patron
age we have received.
