BIMETALLISM NOT DEAD.

On the eve Of the election Mr.,
Bryan said:
"If this election fails to restore BIZ
metallism it simply means four more
years Of agitation, until the people
again have chance to express them
selves. You hear our opponents talk
about restoring confidence; that all
that is necessary is to just stop agita-
ton. My friends, they ought TO know
that agitation is result of condition
and that agitation must continue while
that condition remains If the silver
question could have been pu, down
by saying lie STILL it would have been
put down long ago. If it could have
been put down by commands Or threats
or intimidation, it would have been
put down long, long ago. But | want
you 10 remember that in spite Of all
the fnanciers have done for twenty
years to keep the silver question down
it is still up before the American peo-
pie and will stay up before the Ameri
can people. We are accused of stir
ring up discomfort. My friends, be-
cause physician points to a disease,
that does not argue that he creates the
disease. The disease is here, and we
simply point ii out, and you can shut
your eyes to it if you will, but you
cannot refuse to cure the disease by re-
fuslng TO see it,

The elect ion returns are slow COM
ing in, but enough is known TO satisfy
Republicans and disgust silver Demo
Gratis. Mckinley won by a big ma
jority, e77 electoral votes being put
down for him against ITO for Bryan.
The result in Kentucky is very close,
both sides still claiming it, although it
might as we'll be conceded TO the Re-
publiCans and be done with it. Bryan
carried North Carolina by upwards of
1900, while Russell, the Republican
candidate for Governor, is elected by
from 5000 10 1900. However, the
official returns are not all in yet. The
only Democratic Congressman elected
is w. w. kltChin, in the Fifth district,

TO say this:
We cannot but feel deeply sorry for
Mr.. Bryan in his defeat. Remarkable
as his powers of oratory and physical
endurance are, they do not match his
goodness of nature and his sweetness
of temper. His private character was
unassailable and his home life an in
spiration. His ambition to be presi
dent was worthy of him and of his in

defeat with heroic fortitude.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.
Some Reading That Will Prove Inter-
esting to Young MOthers.-HOw to
Guard Against the Disease.

Group is terror to young mothers and
to post them concerning the cause, first
symptoms and treatment is the object of
this item. The origin of CT CUP is COM
mon cold. Children who are subject to it
take cold very easily and Group is almost
sure to follow. The first symptom is
hoarseness; this is soon followed by a pc
culiar rough cough, which is easily rec
Ognized and will never be forgotten by
one who has heard it. The time to act is
when the child first becomes hoarse. If
given all tendency to Group will soon dis
appear. Even after the crou py cough has
developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. For sale

-"TENNEssER's

The dramatic novelty of next week will
be the production for the first time in this
city, Tuesday, September 29th, at the New
Grand opera house, of the comedy drama
"Tennessee's Pardner," by Scott Marble
the well known playwright. The play,
which is On the order of "M'liss,'
"Golden Giant, and other great successes,
has been produced over five hundred
times, and comes to us with the critical
endorsement of well known dramatic
writers and the prestige of lone engage
ments in the principal cities. The play is
an original and delightful romance of the
mines, which was suggested ID the author
by Bret Harte's picturesque story OF
Tennessee Pardner." The hero Is a
gambler named Caleb Swan; the heroine
a girl from Tennessee, called Tennessee
Kent" Her father has died in the mines
two years previously, and by his wish the
miners have kept his death a secret.
"Swan is the girls guardian, and sent her
letters from time to time purporting to
come from her father, but as some of the
letters failed to reach her, she decided to
visit the mines. Her unexpected arrival

A GREAT MEETING.
Over 1000 Voters Assemble at Odessa
to Hear Hon. William S. COwherd
and Hon. John S. Blackwell
Discuss Public Issues.

Democracy had an inning at Odessa
Saturday evening. One of the most
enthusiastic meetings of the campaign
was held there. Over one thousand peo-
pie assembled in the opera house to listen
to speeches by Hon. w. s. Cowherd and
Hon. John s. Blackwell. Every available
space in the opera house was occupied.
Standing room was at a premium and
over two hundred voters were on the
outside unable to obtain admission. DIR.
Goodwin presided over the meeting and
first introduced Mr.. Cowherd, who spoke
an hour. His speech was a remarkably
fine one and was enthusiastically received.
He was ollowed by Hon. John s. Black
we'll. Mr.. Blackwell made the welkin
ring. FOUR years ago he stood on the
same platform and pleaded for votes for
Grover Cleveland, honestly believing that
Cleveland would carry out the platform
upon which he was elected. Col. Black
well today advocates the same principles
he did then-the~ principles that Grover
Cleveland was nominated to promote, and
his reference to his position four years
g was cheered to the echo. His speech
at Odessa was one of the strongest ever
delivered in the county.

creates CONSERVATION, and how to break
the news is the question. She is put of
with various excuses from time to time,
and in the meantime several exiting
events are occurring at the mine. "Swan's''
pBrdner has secretly married, and in the
bride he brings home Swan recognizes an
adventures who has simply married his
pardner in order to rob him for the benz
eft of her lover, who poses as her brother.
In order to give the bride and groom a
proper reception, the miners fix up the
cabin in a ludicrous fashion; the Golden
Nugget quartette sing pupular songs and
give an amusing performance. Swan
promises the adventures that he will not
tell her husband who she formerly was, il
she in turn will promise to be a faithful
wife. In order to carry out her scheme

hears the plot to rob Swans pardner,
takes the gold out of the box, and let's the

The brother is recognized as a thief and IL

Swan tells ''Tennessee" of her father's
death, and how they find they love one
another, forms the interesting story of the
