A BLUFF BY MR. EDWARD ATKIN
SON

If there is anything the "financiers'
think too tough for the people to swallow
we would like to see it. just now they
have got Mr.. Edward Atkinson to the
front. He says that in balancing up every
yeaS Great Britain owes the United States
$4,000, 900 which she ''now pays in gold y
and then suggests how dreadful it would
be if Great Britain got all that together in
silver and paid it to the people in "fifty-
cent dollars" What nonsense. If Great
Britain will become the purchaser of $24O,
100000 OF silver every year, IN addition to
the demand Of the general commercial
world, silver will go up till our present
''fifty-cent dollar will be worth $1.30 and
be much harder to get than gold.
What saw dust dolls the great fnanciers
some times prove to be. There ism It a
cracker keg full of gold used in liquidating
the whole $240, 900, 900. and Mr.. Atkinson
knows it.

WHERE IS MY WANDERING
NEWS" TONIGHT.

Much anxiety is felt by the family Of the
Staunton Daily Neacs as to the whereabouts
of that journal. 1t promised to come
straight back to its Democratic home after
the Chicago convention, but has not re-
turned. 1t was last seen wandering down
the road in company with Yost's Weekly
to which it was playing second fiddle.
Any information left with any member
of the Board of Directors of the Neacs con-
corning its political whereabouts will be
thankfully received. Information left at
any of the Staunton National Banks will
reach them.
Chorus by Democratic members of the
Board of Directors-"Oh where is our
Wandering Meas Tonight"

Sewall also. He stands squarely upon the
Chicago platform, and has defended our
cause against greater opposition than we have
had to meet in the West or South. The Popu-
list platform is on many questions .substant-
tally Identical with the Chicago platform.
1t goes beyond the Chicago platform, how
ever, and endorses some policies which | do
not approve Of All that can say now is
that my action will depend entirely upon the
conditions attached to the nomination. l
shall do nothing which will endanger the
success of bimetallism, nor shall l do any
thing unfair to Mr.. Sewall."

A BOLTERS TICKET.

There is good deal of talk about the
Democratic boilers of New York, of Wis
consin, of Illinois, ''getting together" and
putting upa third ticket. And this talk
is enforced by rumors of a coming letter
from President Cleveland which may rally
Importers to the boilers ticket. None of
this Jews affects the Democratic party. A
boilers ticket would rob Mckinley of just
y..4t many votes. and as for a letter from
Mr.. Cleveland supporting 1t. we have no
idea be would write one, but if he did 1t
would only still more arouse the people and
add fuel to the free-silver prairie fire now
raging.

IGOVERNlLENT BY INJUNCTION.

To hear Democrat and especially a
Democratic lawyer, expressing doubts
about that plank in the Democratic plat
form which condemns government by
Injunction by the Federal courts, one
would conclude that the human memory,
especially the Southern memory, is exceed
ingly short. During the reconstruction
period this was a favorite way Federal
judges had of Interfering with elections
and other State matters, and the midnight
orders" of such Judges. sometimes drove
the people to desperation. But it is one of
the gifts of McKinleyism that it not only
weakens the judgment, but also the men,

THE POPULLST NOMINATION.

The Populists at st. Louis nominated
Bryan for President, and Thos. A. Watson
Of Ga, for Vice President. AS the Popu-
lists are as sincere and earnest in their
desire for the success of the great issue of
the day-free coinage by the United States
alone-as the Democrats, as the silver Re-
publicans, and as the great mass of the peo-
pie Of the country are, we have little doubt
that the two differing tickets will be so
arranged that no votes for Bryan will be
lost.

buy couple of fai ms in Augusta every
year, is now engag' I'd in delivering address,
es through his hat to such persons as read
the Richmond Tin, es nd other Mckinley
journals. He lays down eleven propositions
which be reinforces by arguments gathered
from the Mckinley papers showing why
he cannot vote tor the Chicago nominees.
Here is the first:
1st. Because l cannot support platform
nor vote for nominees that advocate measures
which il adopted BY lie country will maize it

The Chicago convention adopted genuine
Democratic platform and placed upon it two
lifelong Democrats without . stain on their
Democratic record.
This is a strange assertion from so well in

Chicago platform declares for the free and
independent coinage Of silver at the ratio of
l6 to j. When before did Democratic Ma
