Democrats for the last twenty years

attempt to break ranks on the silver

The REGISTER was an advocate of
bimetalism before Mr.. Jones assumed
control of the Republic. It could not
alter its course and expect to retain
the confidence of its readers. The
lines are being drawn; let each man
take his place according to his convic-
tons. but double-dealing will bring dis
aster to the one engaging in it. The
people are done with subterfuge and
evasion. The politician or newspaper
is very short-sighted that does not real

be of blood kin to every man in the

Regret, Not "Diatribe. "

Eli D. AXE is teaching Democracy to
Elijah II. Norton with copy OF Coin
and picked rod of diatribe.-R Repub-
TIC.
On tho 14th of last November it be-
came our duty. as editor of q Demo-
cratic paper with convictions, to conn
ment upon an article from the pen OF
Uncle Elijah Norton that appeared ia
the Republic. in which he took the po-
sition that the Insignificant band OF
malcontents who had gained control OF
the party's machinery were greater
than the party itself; that although
the Pertle Springs Convention was
regularly called and regularly organ
lied, and was therefore the proper and
lawful legislative body of the Democ-
racy of this State. it could not author
itatively declare that the State Con-
vention for the selection of delegates
to the National Convention should be
called to meet at a date not later than
April 18th.
Our comments were made more in
sorrow than in anger, for we felt that
the old man had fallen into the hands
of clique of decayed and discredited
politicians who were using him to
bolster up their declining fortunes,
regardless of his previous good name
or party standing. We regretted to
see him take SO untenable a position for
the benefit of the corporation lawyer.
the railsoad magnate. the national
banker. the lobbyist, and others who
use political parties for the purpose
of private gain. or to prevent the un-
fair advantages that great aggrega-
tions of capital have from time to time
obtained through control of party ma
chinery from being interfered with.
The folly Of Uncle Elijah's position be-
came so apparent that the men who
were using him refused longer to make
him ridiculous and pulled him down
by submitting to- the inevitable and
recognizing the action of the Pertle
Springs Convention as legitimate.
If by ga picked rod of diatribe'' the
Republic means tina. we have continue
ously preached sound Democratic doc
trine. despite its howl for harmony,
we confess Judgment, and further ad-
NIT that the rod has been somewhat
salty for the flock of cuckoos for whom
the Wall Street organ has become the
mouthpiece.
It would have been very comfort
ing to these people. il, after the Pertle
Springs Convention. the Democracy Of
this State had gone quietly and peace
fully to sleep and permitted the fxer.
the ward-heeler. and the practical
politician, TO undo the work OF that
Convention. Any note OF warning to
the people was an inharmonious pro-
ceeding. Any exposure OF the manip-
ulations Of the Sound Money Club
looking to the reversal Of the express
Cd viii Of the party was monstrous.

present campaign to reverse Demo-
cratic precedents and abandon Demo-
cratic principles e conductod from the |

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
Body of j. NJ. Willis of Philadelphia
In Elk River.
Especial to The Times.)


Elkton. Md, Jan. 29.-Hardly has the
excitement over the murder at Chesa-
peake City, this county, died out, than it
has been aroused again, by what's suppo sed
to be another.
The body of a young man was found there
this afternoon by the crew of canal tug,
with bullet hole in the head The jury
of inquest decided that the man had met
his death by pistol shot fired by some
unknown person.
The tug Gen. Wistar was cruising near
the mouth of the Elk River, when the body
was found floating in the water.
1t was taken ashore, and proved TO be
that of young white man aged about
twenty years, five feet seven inches in
height, weighing about 14O pounds
bullet hole was found in the back OF the
head. near the right ear, and there was
bad bruise over the right eye.
on the body were found a number of
small articles, among which was a small
diary. In the diary. were written several
names. among which appeared most fire.

Hotel, Philadelphia" On the shirt was
worked the letter '..w."
No money or valuables were found upon
the body, which, it is thought, proves
the motive of the murder was robbery.
After the post mortem examination by
DR.. W. c. Karsner, and the finding of the
jury of inquest impanelled by Squire
Vandegrift, the body was taken to Chcsa'
peake City and placed in charge or Under
