the funds in his hands as deputy treasurer
to pay campaign expenses. has led to the

noble work. and doubtless their hearts
will be strengthened and they will realize
that the people of the country are still
ready Ito help Memphis in the hour OF
need.

If they count for a victory upon divisions
among their opponents, they will only
bring upon themselves smashing and

sadder man early in Novcmber.-Er-

keep the silver dollar in circulation, will
refuse it in payments wherever the law
permits. Silver certificates were recently
declined, it is said, from National Bank

an account, and government notes were
required instead. In making payments on
