ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
FoR ILEy4NDRL4, FOR GIRGINLi
IND FoR DEMOCRACY.

Features-Associated Press
Dispatches, Washington and
Richmond correspondence, DAT
ly market reports, Local News
and matters of interest to Viz
GINA. but more especially to
this city and section of Virginia.
The GAZETTE is now the old
est paper in the State, and with
few exceptions the oldest in
the country and its usefulness
has been demonstrated and ap
preciated for nearly century.
In its columns has always
been found a mirror of passing
events and the careful chron-
icing of the history of what IS
going on in the world has ever
been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the
household, while in the count
ing room and workshop it has
become invaluable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it
is so close to Washington, the
great centre Of news, enjoys
daily the benefit of the Asso-
GATED Press dispatches from
every part of the world hence
its patrons can read from It's
columns in the evening what
has transpired that day in ev
cry portion of the United States
as we'll as from every part Of
the habitabIe globe. Consc-
quently it is an everyday oc-
currence for the GAZETTE to
publish kilograms from the va
rious European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier
than the morning papers.
Correspondence from Wash
ington, Richmond and every
section of Virginia is published
regularly, and all events of IN
terest occurring within the
bounds of the Commonwealth
are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The Local Department fur
nishes a full and complete his
tory of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this
feature will, as ever, receive
careful attention.
Another feature that serves
to make the GAZETTE a great
desideratum with merchants is
its afternoon Market Reports
from all the great centres OF
the country.
The GAZETTE circulation in
this city is now larger than at
any time in its history and IS
steadily increasing, especially
among those who consult IT'S
advertising columns before
purchasing.
TILE COUNTRY EDITION
is nearly as large as that of ting
daily. This edition is sent ou,s
three times a week. The adj 7
vantages Of advertising in this /

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-10-11

There is a demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
snces surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator ingalls,. The title is TIN FABMER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
gives elaborate tables showing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings Of the farmer, and also
WRge-workers in general. In . clear, forc1bls
style, with abundant citations of facts and hg-
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of 1.-THE Way OUT"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
snration Of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
TINS book is the only one which attempts t.
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
TO emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium Of
the tacts' hgures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand,

The Permanent Chairman Pleads for the
"OId Guard"

The Permanent Chairman Pleads for the
"OId Guard"
The first interesting incident of the con-
vention was when Loucks::made his speech
as permanent chairman. He began by
saying that he wasn't going to make a
speech, but after few laudatory remarks
about the convention he launched out into
disparagement of the Gresham boom
and eulogy of that of General Weaver,
without, however, mentioning names.
He said that they must have a candidate
who would stand fair and square upon
the platform, who would burn all his
bridges behind him; man who had al
ready been weighed in the Peoples party
balance and had not been found wanting.
1t had been said that they must not select
one of the old guard because forsooth he
had been a Greenbacker in times past.
Well, Folks Differ About 1t.
Did the Republicans or Democrats drive
their old leaders to the rear in this man.
nerf Had it come to this, that because
bIan had been active in the interest of his
party he must be knocked in the head ?
He hoped not, and insisted that only tried
and true reformer should be placed on
guard. These remarks were received with
slight applause from a few and silence
from the majority Of delegates, and Great
ed decidedly unfavorable impression.
They Didn't Know Armstrong.
Than Gen. Armstrong of California,
got snub He was speaking
in patriotic strain tokill time
between committee reports, when
New York delegate protested that they
had come here for business and not talk,
and California man wanted to know
who Gen Armstrong was. anyhow Out
in California, he said, they did not know
him. So Armstrong moved himself off

HOW THEY RECEIVED THE PLATFORM
A Scene of the Widest and Most Bolster
Gus Enthusiasm.

Scene of the Widest and Most Bolster
Gus Enthusiasm.
After the long wait for the platform
committees report was over and the docu-
ment had been read and adopted with a
roar occurred the first scene Of uproari.
Gus enthusiasm the convention had wit
messed. Branch of Georgia, chairman of
the committee, was lifted upon the shoul-
ders of stalwart Texan and carried
around the hall, while men, women and chill
dren shouted themselves hoarse and waved
everything within reach. The banners
designating the locations of the various
delegations were lifted high in the air. a
portrait of George Washington being at
tached to one of Virginia, and as a finale
the banners were carried to the stage, and
uphfted over the chairmau's head.
Delegates Seized with Frenzy.
Meanwhile every one of the 10000 souls
in the Coliseum shouted and roared and
cheered, and hundreds of otherwise cool
headed delegates, seized with frenzy,
stripped off coats and in some cases their
vests so that their limbs would be more
free to wave whatever they could get hold
of. As if by magic hundreds of stars and
stripes made their appearance all over the
hall, while one of immense size was borne
up to the platform and waved in triumph
above all by towering Georgian, who
actually climbed on top of the chairman's
table. Band struck up the "Star Spangled
Banner but the din was so overpowering
that even the big bass drum would not
penetrate.
Men, Women and Children Wild.
When the demonstration had been 60
ing on for fifteen minutes the chairmen of
the various state delegations took posses.
sion of the state banners, and headed by a
fife and drum band proceeded to march
around the hall making, the complete cir
cruit half dozen times over. White-haired,
feeble men tottered around with flag on
either shoulder, fathers lifted their little
ones "pick-a-back" and put a flag in their
hands. A mother wrapped her babe Of four
months in silk flag and fell into line.
Somebody found a tin pail and it was
hoisted upon the Texas banner, re-
mider of the Gresham tin-pail campaign
in Chicago in lSSs.
1t Beat Every Record.
One of the Mississippi delegates hoisted
great brawny darkey on his shoulders
and carried him up to the speakers stand,
while the colored man and brother waved
the stars and stripes in one hand and a
picture of Gresham in the other. The
band marshailing its forces in front of the
platform started the familiar strain OF
Yankee Doodle" alternating to aDixie, N
and the thIonG giving its throat q rest
kept time with its thousands of hands
and feet. 1t was demonstration that en-
tirely eclipsed the memorable Blaine furol
at Minneapolis in point of enthusiasm
noise and striking situations as well as in
point of time, for its duration was within
a fraction of thirty minutes.

And the Effect Capped the Climax Of Po-
litical Em otion.
But the most dramatic incident o. the
day had yet to come-an event scarcely de
scribable in the English or any other Ian
guage. As the first tumult subsided Tau
beneck was seen to approach the chairman
with a telegram in his hand. A Colorado
delegate jumped on the platform and
asked: What is it raubs" The reply
was IN a awhisper, but was electrical in its
effect on the Colorado man. Gresham
will acceptr he shouted. There was low,
murmuring sound like a distant warn
ing, and then it grew and grew into a
roar as though dam had burst its bor-
derss and an avalanche Of water was
sweeping down from mountain to valley.

The nomination for vice president was
the next thing in order, and Alabama

nominated Ben Terrell, of Texas. vir-
ginia nominated General James G. Field,
OF that state, an eX-Confederate These
two were seconded by several delegates
and on roll call the result was-Field, 713;
Terrell, 554. The two candidates went on
the platform and made short speeches.
The usual resolutions of thanks, ETC. were
adopted and few minutes after a. m.
the convention adjourned sine die
