Z DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

was public.
THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
German Expresses Preference for New
York City.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lO-The politi-
clans here are beginning to discuss the
meeting place Oh the next Democratic
national convention.
1t is assumed that the candidates for
the meeting place will be st. Louis,
Chicago, Cincinnati and New York
Cincinnati is making hard fight, and
there are indications that the New
York folks are in earnest in trying to
get the national Democracy to assemble
In Madison Square Garden. Many
people here believe that Chicago is Sc
cretly working for the convention, and
will not show her hand until the na-
tional committee meets here.
Senator German Favors New York.
Senator German of Maryland, who
is member of the executive committee
Of the national committee, was asked
II he could name the city that would
entertain the next Democratic national
convention. He replied that he had
not conferred with any of his COL
leagues OH the committee, but in his
Judgment he believed the contest to be
between New York, Chicago and Gin
cinnati. He said he did not believe ST.
Louis, San Francisco or any of tbs
other cities that have been mentioned
would be seriously considered by the
national committee on the 10th, when
it meets in Washington. Mr.. German
said his personal preference would be
for New York, and he gave as q reason
that New York could furnish q fine
convention hall and unsurpassed hotel,
railway and telegraph facilities.
Convenience the Main Question.
The Maryland senator said that there
is no politics in the selection of the city
for the convention, the main question
being the convenience Of the delegates
He said that people Of the Western
cities have been in the habit of making
great fights for the national convention,
but, as matter of fact, the city in
which the convention is held cuts no
figure in the selection Of candidates.
There il one thing certain, according
to Mr.. German, and that is that the
committee will not ask the convention
to meet again in a temporary structure.
After the disagreeable and uncomfort.
able experience at Chicago four years
ago the committee practically agreed
that in the future the convention would
be held in substantial structure, and
not in q building hastily constructed
for the occasion.
Talk OF the Fourth of July.
Ex-senator Ransom, now United
States minister to Mexico, represents
North Carolina on the national COM
mittee. He is here at present and he
proposes to delay his departure to Mex
leo until after the meeting of the COM
mittee. 1t is said that Senators Brice
of Ohio and Pasco Of Florida, both
members of the executive committee,
are in favor of New York. They talk
of holding the convention on the 4th
Of July, thus giving to it additional
patriotic flavor.
1t is evident that Senator German q
influence will be against holding the
convention in st. Louis, as he has been
informed by Senator Vest and other
Western senators that, next to the
devil, he is the most unpopular person
with the Democrats of the Mississippi
Valley

For Weak Men With Nervous Debility
This is Certainly the Chance of a
Lifetime.


Weak men suffering from nervous
debility, weakened powers and exhaust
ed vigor, can now take new hope. Here
is something which will powerfully in
terest them. 1t is fact that until now
sufferers have been debarred from seek
ing a cure by the great specialists in
these complaints owing to the cost of
travel to the large city and the high
fees charged by these eminent physi-
clans.
Here, therefore, is chance for weak
men in our community which should
not be lost. DR.. Greene, of 80 West
14th St.. New York City, who has the
largest practice in the world, and who
is without doubt the most successful
specialist in curing this class of diseases
offers to give free consultation by mail
to all weakened, vigorless and nerve
exhausted men. You have the privilege
of consulting DR.. Greene by letter de-
scribing your complaint and he will,
after carefully considering your condi-
tion, send you a letter fully explaining
all your symptoms, telling you every
thing about your complaint SO plainly
that you will understand exactly what
ails you. He will also give you his ad
vice, based upon his vast experience
and wonderful success in treating and
curing such cases, as to just what to
do to get cured. All this will cost you
nothing and you can thus have con-
sultation with the best known physi-
clan and acknowledged most success
fnl specialist in the world, without
leaving home and at no expense what
ever. The Doctor is the discoverer of
that greatest of medicines, Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and
he has discovered many other most
valuable remedies. Write to him now,
for this is the chance of a lifetime to
get cured which you may never have
again.

l Sensational Tragedy in Arkansas.

The killing of Ed Atwell deputy
United States marshal, at Knoxville,
Ark, last week, was one of the most
sensational tragedies that ever occurr-
ed in those parts. 1t grew out of a
fight which Atwell had with Jas. Rob
ertson, an old man, Wednesday The
deputy marshal went into the postoffice
and spoke to the assembled crowd.
Some, among them old man Robert
son, did not return his greeting, and
Atwell applied an epithet to them.
Robertson, who was not on speaking
terms with Atwell, took the remark to
himself, and started for Atwell. The
marshal pushed him away saying he
did not wish to hurt him, but Robert
son returned to the fray. Atwell then
drew his revolver, knocked Robertson
down with it and struck him until
witnesses interfered. Robertson's sons
were revenged Friday. While Atwell
was walking along the main street of
Knoxville Geo. Robertson, a son of the
old man, raised a double barreled shot
gun and fired at Atwell. The charge
struck Atwell in the right leg and he
sent two bullets from his revolver to-
wards Robertson. Neither took effect,
and then John Robertson,a "a brother of
George. walked out of the office of
marble yard and took shot at Atwell
with double barreled shot gun. The
load struck Atwell in the back of the
head and caused fatal wound. AS
the marshal fell he fired third shot
at Geo. Robertson. but the bullet went
into the ground.

No Danger Of too mucn Money, Used by
Majority Of the World.

There meyer has been sufficient
quantity of specie in our county to
constitute sound basis for banking
institutions. The redemption money
required to be Kept in vaults has al
ways been SO small as to readily lead
to panics and a run of the banks. In
times of profound peace and prosperi-
ty the banks get along well, enjoying
public confidence. There is little
handling of specie when on hand.
With a knowledge that bank has
sufficient specie and solvent security
with which to redeem, there is no dis
position to run on the bank. There is
no probability that restoration of
coinage to silver. that there will be
sufficient influx to supply this great
need. The great uses for silver by
more than half of the population of
the world, especially in the East, has
kept up such continual drain from
the West, that silver was frequently
above par. For centuries England has
drawn heavily to supply her immense
population in India, her rapidly in
creasing commerce, the arts and per-
sonal adornment. The agitation in
Europe, and this country recently, has
limited coinage even in India; but a
resumption of coinage and return of
practical common sense, ''history will
repeat itself" and the two metals will
resume their historic relations and
functions. Europe has failed to make
'he stride from silver to gold. Ger
many in her efforts to consolidate the
empire, finds herself in dilemma.
England would take Germany's silver
20 India, but does not want it all at |
'nce. This condition has produced
he panic in large part. The great

'rvation of 1.-THE balance of the pow

United States can Lead or Stand Alone.

Bimetallism has been maintained in
| the United States for near one hundred
years, without asking the cooperation
OF any other nations; we have passed
through three great wars, have main
tanned the financial honor of the coun.
try. and have become great nation.
The opponents of the use of both silver
and gold affim that the U. s. cannot
restore silver to equal coinage as be-
fore the act of 1878 and maintain it's
equality with gold without the co-ope-
ration OF Europe. We challenge the
correctness and sincerity of this asser-
tion: l.. Upon the ground that we
have done it heretofore without let or
hindrance from people of three up to
seventy millions. 2. That near one
year ago the President, returning un
der the inspiration of duck hunt,
issued his war message" in relation
to the controversy between England
and Venezuela, in which the U. s. had
no direct interest, and asserted the pur
pose to enfore the Monroe doctrine in
the face of all nations claiming Ameri
can soil. Congress, with great unanim |
ity, endorsed and especially on the
part of those who now cover for the
safety of their gold. 8. Upon the fur
ther ground, that no nation has inti-
mated opposition to reinstating silver
md gold as before, but, on the con-
;rary, many European economists re-
nforced by the great Prince Bismark,
lave expressed the opinion that, "the
great American Republic" could with
uccess and propriety, lead in bimetal-
ism, to be followed by European
Countries. This is the issue.

Denomination by Contract.

Mr.. Bryan in one of his recent speech
es to a Michigan audience said
II notice that the other day." zone
of the Democrats who had left the
Democratic party said that we are not
giving the liberty to the individual that
we ought to; that when we say that a
man cannot contract for particular
kind of money we are taking away his
personal liberty. My friends, you have
usury laws. Those usury laws inter
fere with personal liberty, but what
kind of liberty is it that they interfere
with? 1t is the liberty that the man
who loans money has to oppress those
who borrow money, and the fact that
we have to have usury laws shows that
there is that in human nature which
must be restrained. Our contention
that the laws ought to prohibit the
making of contracts in a particular
kind of money. our contention that
the law ought to prevent man from
demonetizing by conoract that which
the government makes money by law,
is based upon exactly the same prin-
pie. (Cheers.)

The Outlook.

The political news from various parts
of the country Thursday is most en-
couraging to the Democrats. Mr..
Bryan made number of speeches in
Ohio and Pennsylvania towns Wednes
day, and was most warmly received.
In his speeches Mr.. Bryan said gold
will overthrow civilization. and that
his mission as President would do to
bring back the government to it's old
foundation. which secures equal rights
to all. News comes from Ohio that the
republicans are much alai med at the
condition of affairs in that State, and
from Chicago comes the report that
MIR. Hanna is SO worried over the news
from several of the doubtful States
that he is willing to change his tactics
and to shift from finance to the tariff
as the main issue of the ca npaign.

State committee, said to-day: "Our pc-
sition is becoming stronger every day
and am growing more confident ev-
cry hour that New York Safe will go
for Bryan He also stated that Ma
tional Chairman Jones. froin whom he
had just received letter, was confident
that Illinois would go for Bryan by a
big majority.
