Ex-Vice President Levi P. Morton
has been nominated by the Republi-
cans for Governor of New York. Be
ing owner of the Shoreham Hotel in
Washington with its ''tony" saloon at
tachments, the liquor men are well
pleased with his nomination.

We are told that prohibition will
come in Gods own time. God is ready
for prohibition now and is waiting for
his people to vote for it and leave re-
suits with him. Brethren, have faith in
your faith.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-09-25

The Prohibition party is gaining
thousands of recruits from the ranks OF
the young men. They are following
Garficld's advice-''not to pitch their
political tents in the graveyard of dead
issues"
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-09-25

The rumseller who believes in license
and votes for what he believes is moro
honest than the minister who processes
to be in favor of prohibition, but votes
the same license ticket as the rumseller.

After IA months contest the Hyde

GOVERNOR WAITE

ANOTHER PARTY. THERE ARE
THOUSANDS OF ITALIANS AND
GERMANS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHO
WOULD BE POPULISTS, BUT
NEVER PROHIBITIONISTS. "
Yes, and we might add that there arc
thousands of anarchists, Coxeyites,
tramps and bummers that would be Pop
ulists, but never Prohibitionists. And
this is the best argument in the world
for decent men to unite with the Prohi-
bition party.

sissippi, Adopted at jackson, June
9th. 1894.

The Prohibition Party of Mississippi,
in Convention assembled, acknowledge
ing Almighty God as the source of all
true government and His law as the
standard to which human enactmentS
must conform to secure the blessings
of peace and prosperity, present the
following declaration of principles:
1st, We declare our allegiance to the
National Prohibition party and re-af-
firm our endorsement of The National
platform adopted at Cincinnati June
Both, 1892.
2ud, AS the ballot is the bulwark of
the peoples liberties, we favor an in
telligent standard of suffrage and hon
esty and purity in ell elections by the
people. and demand that all parties
shall be fairly represented on election
boards in this State.
3rd, We condemn. in unmeasured
terms. the spirit OF mob violence which
prevails in this and other States, where
by many citizens have been put to a
cruel and speedy death without the
benefit of judge or jury or the oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence as
guaranteed to them by the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
! 4th, We demand the repeal of the
United States Internal Revenue law au-
thorizing the issuance of Government
permits for the sale Of liquor in Prohi-
bition territory.
5th, In view of the serious and
alarming industrial and financial con-
ditions of the country. we deem the
settlement Of the currency question in
in accordance with the principles laid
down by the Prohibition party of ur-
gent concern, second only in impor-
tance to the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. 1.-The money Of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and be issued by the General Gov
Crnment only, and i'll sufficient guam
! tity to meet the demands of business
and give full opportunity for the en-
pioyment of labor. 10 this end an in
crease i'll the volume of money is de-
manded. No individual or corpora
tion should be allowed to make any
profit through its issue. 1t should be
made Il legal tender for the payment of
all debts, public and private. It's vol
ume should be fixed at Il definite sum
per capita and made to Increase with
our increasing population.
| RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we cannot too Sc
verely condemn the action of Mis- Sis
! sippis. Congressman in the House of
the 5lst Congress, every one of whom,
except Hon. CLARKE Lewis of the 4th
District, opposed the passage of the
Wilson original package bill, whereby
it was sought to prevent the nulliiica-
| ton of ali the Prohibition laws i'll this
and other States.

A stranger, who gives his name as
William Gibson, of Millboro, Va,
was in town Thursday, and returned
here Thursday night claiming that
he had been held up and robbed on
the line of the N. & w. R. R. be-
tween here and Nippon. He repre-
sented that he was unable to read
and had been led by false letter
read to him at Clarksburg, where
he had been at work, to believe that
his sister was i'll, and was on his
way home. Another laborer named
William Curtis, whom he knew at
Clarksburg, fell in with him at Shenan-
doah Jun ction, and the two came to
Charles Town. Curtis gave him a
patent hammerless gun, which was
out of order, and he had it fixed at
Mr.. NJ. S. Weller's shop. Though:
he would go out to see Mr.. L. NJ.
Long, whom he knew, and Curtis
started to go with him. Whilst walk
ing elong the railroad a mile or two
from town, Curtis, so Gibson states,
asked to let him carry the gun and
ASSS 1IOSOus vi RECEIVING IL ne
stepped back and ordered Gibson to
lay down his coat with gold watch
and money, leveIing the gun at him
and threatening to blow his brains
out if he did not do so. Gibson
complied, when Curtis made him
fall back, secured the valuables and
then ordered Gibson to take his coat
and git, which he did and came on to
town. The robber got gold hunt
ing case watch, with small chain and
fiat charm, ten dollars in money, and
large ring with black set. He is
described as a heavy set. smooth
faced man, dressed in a blue coat.
striped pants over a pair of blue
ones, and lead colored flannel shirt.
Justice c. Frank Gallaher issued a
warrant Friday morning and placed
it in the handso constable Mathena.
but of course there was no probable
ity that the robber had stopped long
in this section. He is said to he
familiar at jumping freight trains,
and doubtless took the first oppor-
tunity by this mode of travel to leave
for other and distant fields.

The body of William Cross, aged 80 years,
son of the late Charles Cross, of Harper's
Ferry, was found in Lake Quigley at that
place on Saturday. The last seen of him
alive by members of his family was on
Thursday, when he left them to draw his
pay from the railroad company, by whom
he was employed that being the day for
the pay car to be there. The opinion, we
understand, has been expressed that he was
not drowned. However, robbery could not
have been the object of his death, if MUIR
dered, as his money was upon his person
when found. Mr.. Cross was unmarried, but
has five sisters living, to whom he was af.
fectionate and by whom he was greatly be-
loved. His funeral took place on Sunday
last at o'clock from the NJ. P. Church on
Camp Hill-interment in the Lutheran
Cemetery.-Free Press.

the death of Capt. Robert Scott: "Tbis
well-known gentleman died suddenly Sat
urday in Brunswick county at the residence
of Mrs. NJ. F. Baker. He was in the 18th
year of his age. Captain Scott was an old
time Virginia gentleman and one of our
Oldest citizens. He was the son of Robert
G. Scott, the famous lawyer of ante-bellum
days. He was himself an accomplished
lawyer. In his youth he served in the Mex
lean war and was at one time U. s. Consul
to Brazil, and as such he obtained a thor
ough knowledge Of the South American
governments. He had, for some years past,
lead retired life. Captain Scott was a
lover of his State and its traditions. He
was kind hearted, good man who made
friends wherever he went" Col. George A.
Porterfeld, of this town, knew Capt. Scott
well, and esteemed him highly. AS soldiers
they knew each other in Mexico during the
war between the United States and that
