the last two years has been Chairman
of the County Executive Committee.
He was born and reared on a farm in
DeKalb County.

The Silver Bill the Masterpiece of
Rascality.
Clarksyille Leaf-Chronicle.

Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle.
The Senate has passed the confer
ence silver bill. The compromise was
effected by the sacrifice of principle to
party policy and the meaner purpose
of passing the infamous force bill, by
which the Republicans propose to do
their town registering, counting and
certificatlon," holding control of the
government. The western people
want silver and free coinage, which
is of more Importance to the west
than the question of who controls the
government. Republican Senators
and Representatives from the west
who favor free coinage, by the help
of the Democrats, had the power to
pass the free coinage bill, but allow
ed the goldbugs to cajole them into
a compromise worse than the present
law.
The division in Congress on this
question reveals situation that will
strike the country with great force.
1t not only shows the insincerity Of
the Republican party to legislate for
the general good of the country, but
solely in the interest of the money
power and monopoly. 1t brings to
light the identity of interest between
the West and the South on all ques-
tons of patriotic public policy and
the power of these two sections unit
ed to control legislation against the
monopolists of the East. This is the
issue that is looming up for the next
campaign, and is certain to take the
lead over the tariff question, as is
clearly demonstrated by the organic
ed actions and outspoken sentiments
of the farmers of the West.
The villiany in this compromise
bill is that it provides that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury shall purchase
only such silver as is offered him. He
is not to go into market. The max
imum amount Of 100000 ounces q
month will not, therefore, be pur'
chased, unless Offered" 1t is not
made obligatory on the Secretary
that he purchase that much, and by
fixing low price he may prevent
many offerings.
Another feature is that the Secre'
tary is not required to purchase silver
offered, even at his own price, i
mined outside of the United States
He has his choice of redeeming silve
certificates either in gold or silver
and being under the influence of tn,
goldbugs will always redeem then
with deprecated silver, unless h
may choose to enter into speculation
with the gold sharks in buying u
silver certificates at deprecated
; price and paying them in gold at fac
value. 1t caps the climax of tn
: frauds and rascality jobs that hav
been put up by the present Congress
and will render the partisans infa
; nous in the eyes of the sufferin
people.

What Congress Has Done.

The present Congress cannot be
charged with not having done any,
thing. 1t has done much. Much
that will have to be undOne, and
much that the people will have cause
to regret. 1t has doomed to destruc-
ton all that has been accomplished
by half dozen wars and the wis
dom of a hundred years Businessman
ship. 1t has done too much. The
people should give it an eternal rest,
if they are ever again permitted to
go to the polls and vOte.-Cincinnati

WEDNEsDAY's session.,

There was much struggle and con-
tention throughout Wednesdays
session over matters of more or less
importance. Eight ballots were
taken on that day without any ma
terial change. The convention was
apparently as far from a nomination
on the adjournment Wednesday
night as it was when the first ballot
was taken The last ballot taken
Wednesday night, being the ninth of
the convention, stood: Buchanan
729, Baxter 3075, Patterson 375!, Tay-
lor 1854.
This.ballot showed a loss of 80 votes
for Buchanan from the first ballot,
most of which were gained by Tay>
lor.
THURSDAYS SESSION.
Thursdays proceedings of the con-
vention were but a repetition of
Wednesdays wrangling and ballot
ing to no purpose. Ten more ballots
were taken during the day and night
sessions, Buchanan's strength run
ming down on some of the ballots to
700, and Patterson's climbing to
over four hundred. Baxter also
reached as high as $50 votes, A res
olution was adopted releasing dele.
gates from instructions of their coun-
ty conventions, but this made little
change in the totals Of the ballots
The nineteenth and last ballot taken
Thursday night stood: Buchanan
1893, Baxter 355 SIS, Patterson 374!
Taylor 144 5s6.
Buchanan received as high as 764
votes on some of the ballots.
The American sums up the situa
ton as follows:
"Mr. Buchanan looks, even to hi
own leaders upon the floor, to be al
impossibility. With such a lead a
he had on the first ballot, ther,
should have been a constant increas
instead of, on the contrary an al
most unbroken decrease. Mr.. Bax
ter is without the slightest earthl!
prospect. He has developed all o
his primary strength, and even witt
every other candidate out, could no
secure a bare majority Of the votes
GA rumor was abroad during yes
terday's noon recess to the effect tina
during the afternoon Col. Taylor
name would be withdrawn in tn
interest of a more harmonious con
vention. AS a result of the with
drawal, the Buchanan men anticipa
ted such a legacy from Taylor a
would give their man majority c
the votes of the convention. The
would then claim for him the neces
saTy twO~thirds.
"But either the rumOr was errOne
Gus or the determination was subse
quently altered. Taylor continue
before the convention and Buchana
secured no majority.

From Tuesdays Banner.
The marked absence of the usual
yelling at the casting of the vote Of
a county is very marked and very
pleasant.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
as the different candidates were plac.
ed in nomination. The Buchanan
men almost rent the roof when his
name was presented by Mr.. Richard
son.
1t is generally remarked that NJ
convention was ever so noisy before
the end of the first days work. 1
last nights confusion is maintained
the convention will necessarily pro
coed very slowly.
Mr.. Buchanan told a Banner re
porter more than a week ago that h,
would 90 into the convention witt
between $50 and 800 votes. The frs
ballot was evidence to the accurac,
of Mr.. Buchanan's calculations.

The Republican party in some of its
virtues and in some of its vices does not
differ much from the old Wing party. It
will stay at home or it will vote, much as
the fancy governs its members, and no
good comes from cracking the party whip
over it. In 1910 the Wing majority in this
state was 10, G53 in a total vote of So, 6j3.
The next year the Wing vote fell off just
10000 and there was no choice of governor
by the people; that is, the showing by the
Wings in 1871 was just about as bad as the
same is this year on the part of the Repub
licans. On the other hand it is an interest
ing fact to observe that the Democratic
vote is a fixed factor in all elections. 1t
was so fifty years ago it is the same today,

Dillinghams $4,000; in lS4l, Smile :

through all changes of time fixed in their
places like the rock of Gibraltar. and sub
