DEATH OF WARD MCALLIsTEI.-
Mr.. Ward McAllister, the well-known
society leader, died in New York last
night. Mr.. McAllister was taken i'll a
week ago with the grip. There were
no alarming symptoms surrounding his
illness until seven o'clock yesterday
morning.
Ward McAllister was a native of Sa-
vannah, Ca, where be was born about
sixty years ago. His grandfather,
Matthew McAllister, was chief justice
of the State, and his father, Matthew
Hall McAllister, was a justice of the
Circnit Court of the United States in
California.
When Ward McAllister was about
twenty years old he went North to
study at Yale. A maiden aunt left
him some money, and after leaving
college ne returned to Savannah, where
he was admitted to the bar. In 1852
he went to California. He returned to
New York and married Miss Sarah
Gibbons, whose father held a steam
boat grant from Robert Fulton, and
who derived very good income from
wharf property there, which her father
had acquired. For some years after
his marriage Mr.. McAllister lived al
together in Newport, which was largely
freouented by southerners, but eventual
ly, as he rose in social prominence, he
established home in New York city
also.

The Van Buren press., 1895-11-16
Hon. Jerry South Submits to an Inter.
view at the Atlanta Exposition.
um the Little Rock Democrat

From the Little Rock Democrat
Hon. Jerry South, the member from
Baxter. is at Atlanta seeing the
exposition, and being interviewed
by the ubiquitous reporter on the silver
question said:
My State is overwhelmingly for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of l6 10 /. There are
practically no gold men in Arkansas
The only gold men are those who are
enjoying Federal patronage. Even the
bankers are silver men in our State.
What do think of the prospects for
silver Legislation in this eountryf The
situation is just this: l hardly think
silver will receive the recognition it
should receive at the national conven-
ton Ny little State, with its 10, 900
sixteen electoral votes for silver and
Democracy. Texas, with her 40, 900
Democratic majority, will cast her
twenty two votes in the same way
Indiana, which is never Democratic or
Republican above 1000 majority either
way. will follow right behind US and
cast forty eight votes for gold. Penn
sylvania, with her sixty four electoral
votes, and none for Democracy when
the final count for President comes,
will vote for gold. New York, with
her seventy four votes, and, if am a
prophet. none for the Democratic
candidate for President, will be for
gold. The solid Republican states will
vote against us and what chance will
the states of the South and West, that
must be relied upon to furnish the big
Democratic majority, stand of out
voting those thickly populated states
which always make our platforms but
never give us majorities.
IF silver cannot get recognition am
in favor of bolting. We can at least
follow our principles. We can get
solid backing in the West.
Il believe we should nominate Stew
enson. He is right on the silver question.
He is one Of the most popular men in
the country and he is so popular in his
own state that there is no doubt but
that he would carry his own state
for US.

Senators Morgan and Pugh Open the
Alabama Silver Campaign.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Nov. AT Tus.
kaloosa to day United States Senators
Morgan and Pugh opened the Demo
cratic free silver campaign, which the
silver Democratic leaders, in confer
ence here yesterday, decided to inaug-
urate and conduct on the most vigorous
lines possible until the state Democratic
convention meets. A large crowd was
present. Morgan opened by character
izing the present situation as one sadly
in need of changing. There is now a
solid North, he said. and not solid
South, and the Northeastern states have
the South in the same condition that
Great Britain once had the North. He
bitterly denounced Cleveland S financial
policy of borrowing money as one which
had never existed, even when the
country was plunged in war, and laid
all the trouble to the influence of John
Sherman for gold standard and the
characterization of silver. He said that
there was no danger of Democracy S
death, and as long as virtue reigned in
American hearts it was our refuge.
Cleveland idea of retiring greenbacks
and Sherman certificates was opposed
because. as the speaker said, it allowed
national banks to control the currency
Morgan wanted metal minted by the
peck at the 16 to 1 ratio, and regarded
silver as the God given money. A glut
of either gold or silver is impossible. He
closed by urging the people to do their
duty firmly and not give up their iber-
ties. He said he would never again vote
for more bonds or the retirement of
greenbacks until silver was restored to
free and unlimited coinage. Senator
Pugh spoke on the same line, but was
even more bitter in his denunciation OF
Cleveland policy than Morgan. The
senator's will continue their silver can
yass two weeks.

ment, and the persons of distinction thus
made friend of the State. The writer
has been, among others, the recipient
of many of these kind attentions, and
the meanwhile it has perhaps needed no
introduction of the subject to make
known the fact that he represents
Arkansas foremost and oldest paper,
the press and citizens of Atlanta. and
even the kimball Hotel people, being
interested to that extent, and yet it is
seen that another and finer impression
is made as each day he has rendered
observances which more than ever
dignity the paper and the State to which
the writer belongs. Senator Walsh
does not need to have his praises for
such consideration sung in Georgia
where he is so well appreciated and
honored but in our own State, to do
justice TO ourselves and to the
distinguished statesman and journalist
who honors Arkansas with his friend
ship, it were indeed most fitting to make
of his name an household word for all
time to come.
