I GOLD DEMOCRAT. ' / Lo Mr. L. Spcncc, tbe Democratic Canilidute (or CongrcMin - THE OVER-THE-RVIER DISTRICT l? AHc*?t ?oBe?T?io btorjr Goem Thmt [Ha Bolted Bryan In 1890 and Han .Sinco Made No Publication of a Change of Faith on the Money laa?i?*?Hid Nomination Haa Aroused No fctotliusfasm InHls Home Town. Says a Martin's Ferry dispatch to the Columbus State Journal: L. Spence, of [y this city, who was nominated at Steu?.' benville at the behest of John R. Mc Lean, to lead the forlorn hope of the I , Democracy against Hon. Joseph J. 0111, the Republican nominee for Congress, j Is at} avowed gold Democrat and bolted L William Jennings Bryan for President in 1896. i Since 1896 he has made no publication of a change of faith; but on the contrary has expressed hostility to Bryan ; and the Chicago platform, up to last week, when he declared. that under no circumstances would he accept the Democratic nomination. Mr. Spence is the richest man in Martin's Feery. Without his money his nomination would never have been ? thought of, as he- is generally regarded as lacking in every qualification for public service. The nomination of Mr. \ Spence at an age closely approximating : 70 is his first essay into politics. The nomixfetlon has 'forced no enthusiasm, it being plain to every one that it was brought about by local heelers who >ee a chance to profit from the nominee's well-filled pocket and who openly asserted that he could well afford to put tip $1,000 for the honor. Added to this the knowledge that John R. McLean, who has never been poular here, wanted him to run and thereby shut out William Lupton, of Martin's Ferry, the popular candidate, has put the rank and file of the party in anything but a,good humor. Mr. Spence's arrival In this city from 8teubenville this evening was absolutely ' without'incident or any attempt at a ' welcome demonstration. l'KRSQyAL NOTKS.

"Brown's in Town." which will be the attraction at the Opera House next Thursday evening, has for its story a theme that is entirely new. It is woven around eleven characters, each one of whom has a distinct reason for being there. Abel Preston and his son, Dick, are not of the same opinion concerning the subject of marriage. Abel contends that a man is infinitely better off in a state of single blessedness, while the i son demonstrates his position by marrying. This action on the part of Dick means disinheritance and the situations and complications that arise for the 1 older Preston are too farcical for explanation. Its Ingenious construction ' and witty dialogue, together with the j switness of its action, bring many sur- 1 prises. The music and songs inclden- 1 tal to the farce are all original and do tot mar the action of the play. The company Includes such capable people as Lew H. Newcomb, Fred G.
