A Gentle Excitement.

Quite a little excitement was caused on
the Hill yesterday morning. Business
men and neighbors rushed to the North
school to see what was the matter. AL
sorts of direful ills were feared although
all about the building was placid and
wore it's usual appearance. The cause OF
the scare was the appearance of the
American flag hoisted over the building
Union down, signal of distress. Az
soon as the janitor got wind of the
trouble he rectifed the mistake and all
was quiet once more.

City halls balconies and all the seats
on the floor were occupied last evaniDg

twenty-four strong, in their handsome

W. G. McCallnm. They were warmly
welcomed and then the series of evolu.

they marched with great precision, keep

serving their dress, and keeping ohin

nothing slouchy, and no lapses. Their
forming of the cross, the hollow square,
the condensation into knot, with the
subsequent unwinding, the manual of
swords, the formation Of the star, each
and all drew prolonged applause which
was made even more manifest at thu close
Of the drill.

Mr.. S. B. Hunter of Buoksport, says

For. Geo. Wesley Atkinson talked TO a
crowd of one hundred and fifty Republic
can voters. nearly as many free silver

speech was aimless. fat and lacking en-
thusiasm. He made no good points and
impressed even his warmest friends that
he had little if any hope of success for the
cause ne advocated. He admitted that
the money question is perhaps the great
est question before the people in the last
thirty years and that there was something
wrong but instead of Offering a remedy
ne rebashed tariff. talked fifty-cent dol
lars and anarchism. His climax was TO
the ffoct that our beautiful river could
oo more be damned by corncobs than the
election OF Mckinley prevented. Then
There was silence till the drum was pound

statements.
To the Editor of the Register.
Denver Colo, August 25-Having
been a resident of Colorado for the past
II wears. and might say having grown
IN with the State during its years Oh
nrosper.tv. I desire TO reply to an artl-
cle Of August %, which appeared IN the
wheeling Daily Intell:gencer, entitled:
1.-The west All Right A Democrat
writes from Colorado that Sound Money
Will VIM"
Having lived here so many years and
having been a Republican and identl-
fed heretofore with the Republican par
ty. I wish to state that said article, or
letter. or whatever it may be called, is
Dos,tivelv untrue. 1t states q promi-
nent business man received letter from
his brother who resides n Colorado,
who has always been Democrat, ana
that as such was elected mayor of Col
orado town: he has invested in mining
stock and says it is folly to imagine
that the entire country should suffer
for the benefit of those who invest n
silver m,nes, therefore, he will vote for
Mckinley and Hobart.
I take it from the remarks contained
in ahe so-called letter that Colorado will
be almost unanimously for Mckinley
and Hobart. that the business men Of
our State VII also lend their support
10 the St. Louis nominees. | desire to
state that so far as I can learn there is
not in Colorado to-day a Democratic
mayor, neither has there been for the
past eight years, and there has never
been elected n the State Of Colorado,
mayor Of any Of its cites or towns
that has not been an ardent supporter
in the past as well as at this tine, for
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
The people of Colorado. realizing as
they do, that the contraction of curren-
cy and the subSeryiency OF our mOnied
interests and our present adm!nistra-
ton to England, has brougc blight
upon our fair country and we Of Colo
RADIO are unanimous on the question OF
free coinage, both the banking business
and professional interests, as well as
tine mechanic. doubt if Mr. Mckinley
will receive Is per cent Of the vote Of
the entire State.
Having always had a high apprec.a-
ton of Virginians; of Their fairness in
all things, I am confident you will pub
l.sh this little statement, and if the gem
tleman who processes to have a brother
who was once mayor of a Colorado
town, will send me his name will prove
bevOnd all doubt that the letter from his
so-called brother was a forgery, and he
himself laboring under an Authorization.
