THE EPPS RESOLUTION.
Old DOMINION CLUB Disc USED
THAT MEASURE Ar A MEETING.
Hon. r.. Taylor Scott viii speak In Rich
noond shortiy-Co Colonel O'FerrnIi and
Major Kent Written To.

The Old Dominion Democratic Club held
well-attended meeting at their club
rooms, corner Nineteenth and Main
streets, last evening.
AS was previously announced. the ques-
ton Of electing the heads Of the munich
pal department by the vote Of the people
was the question before the club for dis
cussion, and if the Old Dominion Club is
a fair sample Of public sentiment, the
city Of Richmond is largely in favor Of
this method Of electing her officers.
The basis Of the discussion was reso-
luton offered by Mr. Henry Cohen in
line with that offered by Mr.. John T.
Epps in the Common Council. The reso-
luton was prefaced with a declaration
setting forth that the election Of the city
officers was a privilege formerly enjoyed
by the people, which had been wrested
from them: that II was undemocratic. and
that many Of the officers now in position
held the Offices against the viii Of the
people drawing exorbitant salaries, when
tend TO cripple the finances OF the CITY,
and therefore, be 1t resolved, that the
Old Dominion Democratic Club urge the
City Council to recommend TO the Legis-
lature an amendment to the city charter
providing for the election by the people
Of the following city officials: City en-
gineer, superintendent Of water works,
almshouse and fire alarm, CHER of police,
chief OF Fire Department. and the Boards
of Fire and Police Commissioners.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Chris
Manning eXempting the Police and Fire
Commissioners. chief Of fire department
md superintendent Of the almshouse was
lost, and the original resolution was
adopted by a vote Of IA TO IL.
Differences Of Opinion.
The vote, however, included only
small portion Of those present. While the
question was pending it was variously
discussed. and strong differences Of opin-
ion were developed.
Mr.. Epps, the originator Of the Council
resolution, was present, and was called on
to speak. He declined to discuss the mat
ter, saying that ne had simply dropped In
to hear the opinion Of the club on the
subject.
Captain John A. Curtis opposed the reso-
luton on the ground of its ineXpediency
In q State canvass, declining to say
whether he was for or against Mr.. Epps'
resolution, until after the State election,
when IL would be proper to take up local
matters.
Retrenchment and Reform.
Captain r. T. Frayser was called on
and made a vigorous speech in favor Of
the Epps resolution, showing that pre-
vious TO 1851 all the heads of departments
were elected by the people, and that the
city was then successfully and prosper
ously governed.
He especially dwelt on the necessity Of
retrenchment and reform in the conduct
Of the municipal government, in proof Of
which he read a statement from the Audi
tors report Of January l. 1893 and
later statement from the Auditor showing
the bonded debt of the city at that
date to $685. O65 90

COUNSEL TO MEN OR LARGE AFFAIRS.

During such period of financial disturbance as the
present you find it necessary all your
talents and energies me management of your affairs
You cannot safely delegate the work to another.
AT this time any else, matter what his ability,
would be unable to successfully conduct your business
protect your investments as well you can.
But there is a CHANCE that you may at any moment
be FORCED thus to turn your affairs the manage
ment of another-namcy, in the event of your DEATH
Remember that executors often think more about
avoiding risks and protecting themselves than of carry
ing out the spirit of the testators views They gener-
ally lack experience in the business they are trying to
wind up
This inexperence and possible lack of interest may
cost fifteen per cent of the value of your estate
or more
You cannot but recognize the truth of this statement,
nevertheless you guard against this loss by assuring
your life for the amount which in your judgment your
executors would waste in winding up your estate
You can easily, by economizng little in your
living expenses pay from your income the premium on
policy for $50 900 100000 issued by the strongest
financial institution of it's kind in the world the Equta
Bile Life Assurance Society of the United States, 40
Broadway New York.
If you then chance to die, your executor will be
INSTANTLY in the possession of $4,000 100000 of
CASH IN HAND; and ready money will have a
value if DEATH COMES
On tie other hand, if you live, and take your
rance for exampe) the wenty-year Tontine Endow-
ment plan, you will reap rich reward on ma
turty of the policy

READS THE RIOT ACT.
Editor Henry wattersou Predicts Disaster
to the Democrats.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 19.-Editor
Henry Watterson, Of the CourierJournal.
in two-column leader this morning, reads
the riot act to those southern senators
who have INSTRUCTED silver repeal, ana
predicts disaster for the Democratic par
ty. He says:
"The spectacle Of an extra session. ana
more particularly the scenes or the last
few days and nights, are enough 10 can
the dead to life in defence of beleagured
interests, and the departing glory from
a clique of southern senators obse-
auiouslv serving the combine Of silver
mine owners, using their experience ana
such wits as are left them TO obstruct
the will Of the people as 1t was never oo-
structed before. is precisely as II their own
dear lives were at stake.
Perhaps the immolation OF Grover
Cleveland may be a retribution upon the
Democratic party for nominating ana
electing him president, and perhaps
may destroy the party outright; perhaps
1t is even the will OF God for evh TO
come to pass that good may follow Out
guilty ones will not escape. That Is one
comfort amid the desolation that mas
enveloped Democratic opportunities ana
the irretrievable disgrace, which mas lal-
len upon the Democratic party, IN nav
ing approvlngly to submit to the wise re-
buke Of a Republican statesman ana thal
statesman John Sherman.

ATLANTA. GA, oct 19.-Replying 20
the etract from Mr.. Watterson's editorial
in the CONFECTIONERY, threatening SOUTH
ern senators and predicting party as
aster because they held out against the
sold standard, the Constitution Oh 10
morrow morning will say
1--WE can heartily sympathize with our
contemporary wrathful protest against
DELAY. and with his anxiety Tor our De
leagiIred interests, but right here our
PATHWAYS diverge. We are not looking 10
1obn sherman for counsel or wise re-
buke. nor can we regard the southern
silver senators as obstructionists when
every telegram that comes from Washing
ton tells the story of their earnest Ell
forts to secure a compromise ana OF
their eagerness TO meet their brother
Democrats In a caucus with view 10
adjusting their differences. while the anti
silver senators are secretly organizing
the caucus and intimat!ng that II they go
into II they will not be bound by II.
This plainly shows who the real OBJ
structionists are, and the country will
hold the men responsible who refuse to
consider a compromise and vigorously
oppose the time-honored Democratic meth
cd Of getting together and agreeing upon
a common basis for the sake OF party
harmony"
