You are msinformed as to my position in
respect to the action of the Democratic Con-
vention at Chicago.
| have always understood that Republican
ism, represented by McKinleyism, in fostering
syndicates, trusts and monopolies, was a
menace to American institutions. In addition
to this evil is now added the power of class
that has lately demonstrated that they can
control the gold of the world for good or evil
as they like. would no more think of giving
my vote or lend my name to such combina-
ton and call myself Democrat than would
of giving it to syndicate who could control
all the armies and navies of the world, to
make war or peace on whom they please.
If such interests represent the National
Democratic party, as you claim, the name
Democracy has lost its meaning. There is
and can be but one National Democratic
ticket this year, and it was nominated at
Chicago. All others are spurious.
In respect to the names of Democrats of
this county who will vote for McKinleyism, l
do not know one ID. n. HENNING.

Boiling Reduced to it's Legitimate
Results.

The Baltimore Ne,rs says no Democrat owes
allegiance to the Chicago ticket, and asserts
the right and justice of minority to bolt and
set up new ticket aud call itself the "Na-
tional Democratic party"
II this is conceded, ii would be perfectly
fair and right if minority should bolt the
gold standard Democratic convention next
month and call another convention of the
National Democratic party Aud mi
nority of this third convention would be justi-
fed in boiling if they could not control its
declarations, and call fourth convention Of
the National Democratic party" And bolt
ing could be continued, under the Neirs' idea
of party organization and fealty, until one
man was left, and he would have the right to
call himselfthe National Democratic party.

A dear friend now has left us,

For Jesus called him home.
Our hearts are sore and bleeding
For one we loved so well;
But Jesus took him from us:
He doeth all things well.

OXFORD, August 19.-Advocates of free
silver are now holding meetings in various
parts of southern Chester county. These
gatherings are largely attended by farmers,
who take deep interest in the arguments OF
the speakers. An all-day mass meeting in
the interest of free silver will be held in a
grove near Kimbleville, east of Oxford, on
Tuesday, August %. That portion of the
country contains more silverites probably

PREMATURE SEIZURES.

Judging from the facts which have so far
seizure Of the steamships City of Richmond
and Three Friends by tie revenue cutter
Winona, on suspicion that these two vessels
were about TO engage in a fiiibustering eX-
pctlitioD, appears to have been altogether
uniustified. IL is true that a quantity of
ammunition was found on one of these
whom were Cubans, On board of one or both
of them, but according to the latest decision
OF the courts these facts of themselves do not
constitute a viola ton of the II eutrality laws.
The connection between tie passengers and
the cargoof war supplies must beesta blished
before a filIbusteriDg expedition can be
all reports furnished in the telegraphic dis
patches nothing of the sort has been shown
in the case o: the two seized vessels.
1t is not improbable that seizures of this
kind are the result of undue zeal ON the part
OF the officers commanding the revenue cut
tcrs. They are eager to make a record for
extraordinary vigilance, and thus insure
their advancement. However In udablc devo-
ton to duty may be under ordinary cir

PROTECT THE SHADE TREES.

The observant pedestrian in our streets
will have noticed that as the days are
getting warmer the caterpillar plague
spreads. There has been a perceptible
increase of these tree and shrub destroyers
within the last two or three days and
their Eayages have become very marked.
People are already beginning to complain
that the fronts of their houses are dotted
with the insects and even the interiors are
invaded at times.
Disagreeab bic and Objectionable as this
is, it is of comparativel small moment
when one considers the damage that is
being done to the beautiful shade trees
lining our streets. To check as far as
possible their spoliation, il not prevent it

Every resident who has Il garden hose

law officers nor revenue marine officers
are under any obligation, expressed or i'm

OF the City of Richmond and the Three

the public TO show that the United Suites

any Spanish official of an intention on the
part of the owners or captains of the YES

The commander Of the Winona appears to
have proceeded entirely upon the assumption
that as the two vessels had at some time
been engaged in carrying filibusters they
were proper subjects of his official atten-

him from Headquarters

accused of u violation of the neutrality

the supposition is warranted that either
the commander of the vessels nor an yonc on

commissioner before whom the preliminary
hearing is to take place this week
