The Charlotte Gazette publishes
column-and-a-half letter from Hon. John
Goode addressed to Messrs. W. c. Friend,
X. +. Hutcheson, and others, setting
forth his views on Federal questions OF
the day, and stating that though unwilling
TO enter the contest for a congressional
nomination, he would feel 1t his duty to
accept the nomination If bestowed upon
him.
As to the currency question. he says:

/ silver monome,alist. l am bime-
tallist. | believe that gold and silver are
equally recognized by the Constitution as
money metals. In the clear and explicit

of the silver bullion held in the Urea
sury to the amount Of the gain or
seigniOrage OF such bullion. Such mea-
sure would add more than $4,000, 900 to the
currency OF the country would be "A just

THE PRINCIPLES OF CHESS. Nv

This work Is valuable contribution 10

Der OF works on the chess openings. but
the literature of end-games is extremely
scanty. and the elementary works OH the
subject are far more satisfactory, be-
ing. for the most part. based on Staun-
tons "Chess-Players' Handbook" pub.
lished about fifty years ago. and, there
fore, OF a somewhat obsolete character.
Though the handbook is excellent as
FAR as 1t goes for acquiring a know
ledge OF the principles OF the game, the
science or chess has undergone such
changes since its publication as 10 rem
der great portion of its analysis of
the openings useless, as many of them
are unused altogether, and in those OPEN
ings which are treated OF therein. which
are still employed, the methods OF con-
tinuing both the attack and defence have
been 80 improved as to render the Hand
book very imperfect guide.
Under these circumstances a suitable
elementary work on chess has been much
felt. From our examination OF this
work, II seems not too much TO say that
II would take the place OF the hand
book In that respect, while there Is
much In II OF value and interest to the
more advanced amateur. The author has
certain ideas upon which chess opinion Is
divided. and with which we do not agree
concerning the advlsability OF changes in
the laws OF the game. the powers OF the
pawn, etc. but he has wisely reserved
those subjects for an appendix.
The work under consideration, while
not processing to be a complete treatise

AT MARKET HALL.
Gov. Mckinley Makes a Brief
Speech.

Gov. Mckinley Makes Brief
Speech.
F. G. Stevens presided at the band
concert held at Market hall that played
to small audience. He announced
that the procession of the evening had
sufficiently intimidated the people to
last until election day.
Henry Johns was introduced as a
speaker and paid compliment to his
opponent, w. z. Cocaran, " hom he
pointed out to the audience as sitting
at the reporters table on the stage.
Mr.. Johns was frank enough to say that
he hoped this would be Republican
year and thus aid his canvass.
Gen. H. W. Childs followed with a
speech, beginning with comment upon
an Intelligent use of the ballot. lie
asked his audience to believe that the
Democratic party has been disorganized
when compared with its great victory
of two years ago. because it has wavered
from the Cleveland standard. He
thought the Democratic party would
not expect heavy vote in this state.
Gen. Becker was paid the compliment
of being an excellent and patriotic gen.
tleman who is worthy of the suffrages
of his party. He hoped, however, that
Knute Nelson would be elected.
e. G.. Rogers Was Introduced
as the next entertainer with few sug-
gestive remarks from the chairman.
Mr.. Rogers entered at once upon a
vigorous discussion of the local issues of
the campaign. He handled the tariff
and silver questions from Repu blican
standpoint, to the evident satisfaction
of his hearers, as the applause was ire
quent and demonstrative. He urged all
good Republicans to vote the straight
ticket. After paying an eloq uent tribute
to Hon. William L. Mckinley he yielded
the floor to the distinguished guest of
the evening, who arrived in the hall Just
as Mr.. Rogers was closing.
Chairman Stevens introduced the dis
tinquished gentleman In brief speech.
Gov. Mckinley
seemed somewhat tired as he advanced
to the edge of tine stage, and after say
ing he had already spoken an hour and
half at the Auditorium, he said he
would take only short time to state
that he was glad to see such enthusiasm.
Taking up a word of Chairman Stevens
he said what we want now is more
Americanism. He then spoke on the
tariff, saying that one way to keep a
home market is to reduce wages and the
other to make it harder for foreign
goods to get Into the country. He con.
cluded by saying that the ballot should
be cast in favor of protection. He
wanted Republican house elected this
fall to render the Democrats poWerless
to effect the tariff.
Admitting that there might be fail.
ure In this. the Democrats would have
two years more to carry out their fight
as declared by President Cleveland. He
asked that foil Republican delegation
be sent to congress from this state, and
promised that the six Democrats in
Ohio would be replaced by six Repub-
licans in the next house.
The audience adjourned without any
formality after the brief speech was
concluded. Gov. Mckinley was escorted
to the carriage of ex-Gov. Merriam, and
was cheered as he drove away.
