ROANOKE, VA, oct. ).-Spocial-The
Sound Money Democrats OF this city held
a meeting at the old Opera House to-
night which, though not as largely at
tended as some others at The same place
during the present canvass, made UP IN
enthusiasm what it lacked ia numbers.
ID. Preston Pau. tobacconist OF Bed
ford, was the speaker OF tho evening. and
was introduced by Frank Caldwell, presi-
dent Of the Roanoke Sound-Money club.
while seated on the platform were J. Shir-
ley Smith, J. william Boyd, W. II. Look
abnl. and q number Of other citizens
prominent in the work for sound money.
Mr.. Parr began by saying that nc had
always been "a Democrat and had never
voted any other ticket IN his life He said
he intended TO vote for Palmer and Buck
ner as the legitimate successors Of JET
ferson. Jackson. and Cleveland, and pro-
ceeded in q clear and lucid manner to
give his reasons for the faith that was

crat. nor was the platform upon which
he was nominated q Democratic one.
lie denied emphatically that there had
over been any secret demonetization OF
silver. and said the question had been
openly discussed I'm both houses OF Con-
gress for three years. and that even II

silver dollars were put into circulation.
which the credit Of seventy million peo-
pie was pledged 10 maintain on parity
with gold at the present ratio.
He discoursed eloquently on the duty
Of the people to maintain the national
honor. and said that silver would con-
tinue 70 depreciatc in value and tho Gov
ernment would have to pay the difference
between silver and gold by taxing the
people. In conclusion. he paid beautiful
tribute to gold as conirasted with silver.
and begged his auditors 20 vote for that
party which would save the country from

Chief Badenoch Will Try to Stop n
Chicago Oct. 25.-Judge Tuley to-
day refused to issue an injunction re-
straining Chief of Police. Badenoch
from interfering with the free silver
parade on the night of Saturday, Oct.
81. He held that the court had no
jurisdiction in the matter, and that
the right to allow the parade was
vested in the chief of police. When
the Democratic county committee ap-
piled for permission to have parade
in the downtown streets on that even
ing Chief Badenoch refused on the
ground that permission had already
been granted to the Republicans for
that evening. A big row was the re-
suit, and after futile attempts at COM
promise with the Republican leaders
the matter was taken into court.
Democratic leaders stated in open
court that they will fight the police
force or any one else who attempts to
prevent their marching in parade on
the night of Oct. 81. Chief Badenoch,
on the other hand, declares that it
would endanger the peace of the city
to have two opposing political factions
marching the streets at the same time,
and says that the Democrats will not
be allowed to parade. Developments
are being eagerly awaited.

Section 80 Case Again.

Washington, Oct. %. Secretary
Francis to-day rendered another de-
cision in the case of Minnesota against
William Craig, involving a. forty-acre
tract Of land embraced in the "Section
3O'' case. The decision to-day was on
a motion filed by the state for review
of the departmental decision, in which
Secretary Smith affirmed the commits
sioners decision denying the states
application for a hearing to determine
whether the land was swamp at the
date of the grant in 1860. The present
secretary denies tho motion very brief
ly. He says there is no specification
of errors set forth, Clearly and con-
cisely," as required by the rules of
practice, and further, that the argyll
ment presented does not raise any new
point Of law or fact presented by the
state which would warrant review
of the previous decision. This prob
ably disposes Of the contest over one
of the most valuable tracts of land in
Minnesota which has been before the
interior department in one way and
another for the past ten years.

however, did not become a matter of
public notoriety until the past spring
when he was compelled to abandon
series of joint debates arranged with
ex-Secretary Hoke Smith by reason Of
the advice of his physician that it
would imperil his life for him to con-
tinue the debate, which had attracted
great state as we'll as national interest
by reason of the fact that it involved
the position of the Democratic party of
the state on the silver question as well
as the senatOrship from Georgia, for
which the eX-speaker was an active
candidate. The silver men won their
fight and MI. Crisp would have been
the next senator from Georgia. He
was forceful speaker, a man Of great
tact and possessed of other qualities
that fitted him for leadership in
parliamentary assemblage. His first
prominence in national affairs came
from the skill with which he led his
party in several warm election con-
tests. The prestige led to his election
to the speakership after a memora BILE
canvass. His chief opponent was Rog-
er @. Mills of Texas.
AS speaker Mr.. Crisp was fair but
firm. His rulings have been upheld,
and though sometimes they were the
subject of considerable criticism from
his political opponents he always COM
manded their respect. He was q pro-
nounced ad7ocate Of free silver and
on one occasion his casting vote as
speaker saved the defeat of free
coinage bill. On the other hand it
was largely due to his tirmness in
ruling that passed the Sherman silver
repeal law through the house, his rul-
ing defeating a formidable tilibuster-
ing movement led by Mr.. Bland Of
Missouri Mr.. Crisp had been in a san
itarium for five weeks with malarial
fever. ~.

The God of Sound Money"

Gold is the king of kings, the mon
arch of money, the emperor OF specula-
ton. the unmoved spectator of Turk
ish atrocities, the General Gomez of
revolution, the w. C. P. Breckenridge of
morals, the managing editor of the
daily press, the fashion-plate of society,
the god of greed, the mascot of supersti-
ton, the great-grandfather of aristoc-
racy, the chief slave-driver of human
servitude, and sole manager of the
millionaire's campaign for Sound
money"
More blood has been shed to crafty
the greed for gold than for all other
causes on earth combined.
Kings are but mud without the
power of gold to back them.
Speculation is but boys game of
mumble-peg without the expanding and
contracting properties of gold.
Turkish atrocities are only danger
ous'' as they threaten the stability of
English gold investments.
Morals are but dross compared with
the gorgeous raiment that adorns the
front pews of the great churches that
are dedicated to oratory and hired
music.
The daily press is but jumping
Jack on two twisted strings between
the thumbs of goldowners.
Society is but butterfly dance over
q field of new-mown clover, when gold
ceases to be king.
Greed becomes hog trying to swal-'
low barrel Of slop, when the shining
treasure it boards and gloats upon be-
comes worthless.
Superstition becomes fairy story of
ancient dark ages, when people behold
that the golden god they have wor-
shipped is deaf. dumb, blind and
powerless in the light of wisdom.
Aristocracy pulls off Its coat and
goes to work when it can no longer
juggle with gold.
