RAINS, THE DRUGGIST,
SOLE AGENT.

THE State Democratic Executive
Committee has taken the disagree
ment between Messrs. Whitthorne
and Cox in hand, and we hope by
our next issue to be able to report a
solution of the difficulty. The re-
port of what has been done by the
committee, and the present attitude
of the rival candidates, appears
elsewhere. We hope there will be
no play for delay, no attempt for ad-
vantage, by either side. The people
are determined that no gold bug
shall represent this district in Con-
gress; and if some agreement is not
reached by the Democrats soon
worse confusion may follow By the
silver men, irrespective of party OF
nominees, trying to get together.
The money question, and the silver
cause, is dearer to the hearts of the
people of this Congressional dis
trict, than the private fortunes OIL
dolitical ambitions of any two men
and the silver men absolutely will
not submit to the present condition
of affairs, whereby the election of a
gold-bug Republican is almost as.
sured. We hope the committee will
continue its good offices, and viii
not tire until it has adjusted the diff.
ferences in some manner acceptable
to the silver Democracy of the dis
trict.

IN all his career, wonderful as it
has been, and filled during the past
week with remarkable demonstra-
tions in his honor, William ]. Bryan
never addressed an audience so large
and so enthusiastic as that which
gathered in the statehouse grounds
at Columbus, Ohio, last Tuesday
night. The crowd was the largest
ever gathered together in that city,
and was estimated at $4,000. Mr..
Bryan was obliged to divide his
speech into four segments, one de-
livered from each of the canopied
grandstands that had been erected
for the occasion. Mr.. Bryan began
his remarks by saying: "Ladies
and gentlemen, this is the largest
audience to which L ever tried to
speak. 1 have had occasion to speak
where the audience filled the house
but / have never had occasion tC
talk where the audience filed all

IN 1894, in this Congressional dis
trict, Col. N. N. Cox, the undispu-
ted, uncontested, regular Democratic
nominee, received 9,O98 votes; his
Republican opponent, Mr.. H. F..
Fariss, received 6,366; Col. Cox's
majority being only 2,732. With the
general dissatisfaction existing as to
the manner of both the nominations
at the recent convention, together
with small slump by the goldites,
it is fair to conclude that the Demo.
cratic vote this year will not be
larger than it was two years ago.
That being so, the Democratic vote
would not have to be divided into
two equal parts to insure the cleo
tion of Republican, but if either
one received third and the other
one two-thirds, then both of them
would be defeated. Does anybody
doubt that either would receive as
many as third? The prevailing
opinion is that the vote would be
nearly equally divided. How will
it profit Messrs. Whitthorne and
Cox then to run the race through?
They will not only have spent their
time and money in vain, but they
will have sacrificed their party as
well, and in the future will be held
responsible for having elected Re-
publican to Congress from this
Democratic district.

OUR neighbor, the Maury Demo-
crat, thinks Mr.. Whitthorne hit the
nail squarely on the bead when he
said, "Why should man arbitrate
a case after having won it before the
Supreme Court?" If our neighbor
thinks that, he is treating Mr.. Whit
thorne very badly by not putting his
name at the head of his column
among the other Democratic nomi-
nees. Politically, our neighbor has
some ways that are peculiar. He
endorses Whitthorne without hoist.

COLUMBIA furnished two delegates
to the convention of goldites, held
in Indianapolis this week. The
HERALD tried in vain to learn who
signed their credentials. We were
repeatedly informed that conven-
ton was held. and that Messrs.
Wooten and Mckinney were en-
trusted with the sacred cause of the
single standard; but when, where
and by whom, it was impossible to
learn. We interviewed the dele
gates themselves upon the subject,
and reminded them that they were
making history, and that the HER
AID as an impartial recorder of
events earnestly desired to ''set
down naught in malice" Our
friends acknowledged that this
greatness had been thrust upon
them, but the wires they said had
been pulled by others, and of the
details they knew nothing. Our
best information is that the conven-
tion was composed of Col. Nat Jones
and Mr.. Jim Walker, and that its
action was subsequently informally
ratified by the Century Club.

THE more astute political forecas-
tiers suspect that the money squeez-
ers will attempt to precipitate a
panic as an object lesson before the
presidential campaign proceeds
much further. The increasing vol
ume of Bryan enthusiasm predicts
increasing volume of circulating
medium, and this prospect alarms
the money grabbers. If necessary
to check this Bryan movement they
win bring disaster upon the country.

money changer, has boosted in a

yer Congress should be elected, Wall
Street was able to produce condi-

Rhode Island, has been nominated
by the Democrats of his state as
Elector for the State-at-IIarge on
the Bryan and Sewall ticket, Presi-
dent Andrews has contributed large

can authority on this subject. Three
weeks ago the HERALD published
his letter in which he favors the
free and independent coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to l by the
United States alone, without the aid
or consent of any other nation. Be-
fore this announcement, President
Andrews was regarded by the gold
standard fellows as the leading au-
thority on the financial question,
but, since his letter, these same fell
lows have, no doubt, relegated him
to the ranks of Anarchists.
