HON. q. VI. sYDENsTRICKER
Says the Democrats OF Greenbrier are Or
ganized and Ready for Battle.

Hon. G.. NJ. Sydenstricker, of Greenbrier
county, is in the city in attendance on the
meeting of the trustees of the Second In
sane Asylum. Mr. Sydenstricker Is one OF
the trusted leaders of the Greenbrier De
mOcracy, and il is safe TO say that the voice
of no man has more influence in party coun-
ellis in that section. He is enthusiastic
over the prospects Of the Democracy in the
Kanawha Valley, and TO reporter OF the
REGISTER he gave few reasons for the
faith that is in him.
1--WE are accomplishing, he said,
s'the most thorough organization of Demo
cratic forces that has ever existed in Green
brier county. Clubs are being formed in
great numbers. the issues of the day are
being discussed, and from this discussion
the Democracy of Greenbrier confidently
expect abundant fruits. Our idea OF Il
county organization is the establishment Of
strong clubs in each district, county club,
and through these county club league
Bv this means all the clubs can be brought
in close harmony, and proper literature can
be easily distributed. That is the plan that
is TO be followed with more or less faithful
ness in Greenbrier county
What do you think of the prospects Tor
the fall electiOnm
IL am confident that Greenbrier will give
her old time Democratic majority Of l,UO
next fall. The influences which reduced
our majority two years ago, can not be sue
cessfully operated now We had no organ
ization then. and our foes bought the "foat-
ers" right and left \ large number OF
voters were also brought over from Vir
ginia. kept few months, voted in our

The Two Jones Discuss the Pending
silver Bill.


WASHINGTON. d. c.. May l3-In the
Senate to-day. Mr.. Jones, of Nevada, re
sumed his speech on his silver bill. He
opposed the idea of redeeming Treasury
notes I'm bullion ON the ground that when
they We're So redeemed the monetary circu-
iatiOu would be contracted, and the putting
of bullion ON the market would not make up
90 the country for the loss Of money from
It's circulation. Gold, by reason Of its
greater value. Notwithstanding all the leg
islation I'M its favor, could never become
the common medium of the world. In con-
clusiou. he said 81 predict, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that the restoration of silver
to it's birthright viii mark an epoch

place I'm circulation an amount of money
commensurate with our increasing pOpula-
ton. 10 viii give assurance TO our Ian
gushing Industries that the volume of our

biy the burden of mo. tgages, NJ Will IN

2
itor from the neck Of the debtor In answer
to questions Mr. Jones said that If there
was free coinage of silver he believed that
i'm three DAYS the silver not used for coinage
would be worth Sl29 an ounce, and that
there 10 would remain.
Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, next addressed
the Senate i'm criticism of the pending bill
He said the bin as it stood should never be
come a law. but should be amended by
making il provide az least for unlimited
COINAGE of silver whenever the price reach
cd the point az which the government
ceased 20 Toe "a purchaser This was an
absolute necessity unless the purpose was
90 destroy silver as money. Those
who would vote for the bill as il stood GER
taiulv intended the demouetization of sill
ver and might as well avow H. He was in
favor of the issue of certificates for coin
and bullion and of comforting upon them
the qualities of legal tender as broadly and
completely as il was conferred upon the
coins which they represented. There was
no reason why these certificates should be
in any sense inferior 20 any other form Of
paper money.
