THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENT ION
The Vote by Counties for 1892 and
1894.

The Vote by Counties for 1892 and
1894.
In the approaching Democratic
Congressional convention for this
district, to he held in Columbia
August Is, the basis of representa-
ton will play conspicuous part.
Col. Cox, it is understood, will favor
taking the last vote, that of 1894, as
the basis, while the Whitthorne
forces will contend for the 1892 vote.
In 1894 only 9,09S Democratic votes
were cast in this district. Taking
that as a basis Of representation and
discardiDg the fractional votes
by counties, the convention would
have only 80 votes, and under
the majority rule, which will un-
questionable prevail, As would
nominate.
But if the vote for 1892 should be
taken as the basis, tthere being u
much larger vote pOlled in '92 than
'94) the convention would have a
total of 1876 votes, and it would re-
quire a fraction over 90 to nominate.
The vote by counties would be as
follows:

WHERE there is practically no OPP
position, it is always hard to bring
out full vote; in over confidence
there is danger sometimes. There is
no danger but that our Democratic
nominees for Sheriff and Trustee will
be elected, or that the Democratic
nominees for Chancery Court of APP
peals will be. But if their MAORI
ties, for lack of interest of Overconh-
dence, are small, it will give encour-
agement to the enemy for the battle
in November; while if all Democrats
will vote in August, we would so
rout the opposition forces that they
would virtually abandon the field.
Democrats should go to the polls
and vote in August, for the effect
the majority will have on the No
vember contest.

OUR REUNION.

The HERALD'S reunion for its cor
respondents is all arranged for to-
morrow. Two extra coaches, at
tached to the regular accommodation
train, will leave the Columbia sta
ton at 6:30a. M, and returning leave
Nashville at4:20 p. m, making stops
at all the regular stations. And as
before announced, half-fare rates
from those stations will be given for
this train. We have been very care
full in sending out tickets to all cor
respondents who sent in their names
or who have written at all regularly
during the last year. We hope all of
them have safely reached their des-
tination, and that all our family will
take advantage of this days outing
We are sorry we could not be NOR c
general with our invitations and in
vite our friends, but as our purse
was limited to the expense of two
special coaches, we were compelled
to confine our cards to the family.

They say that we are opposing the
national bank currency. 1t is true.
Thomas Benton said that, in search
ing history, he could find but one
parallel to Andrew Jackson-that
when Cicero destroyed the con-
spiracy of Catiline and saved Rome,
he did for Rome what Jackson did
when he destroyed the bank con-
spiracy and saved America. We say
in our platform that the right to
coin and issue money is function
of government. We believe that that
power of sovereignty can no more
with safety be delegated to private
corporations than the power to enact
penal statutes or to levy taxation.

EXTRACTS FROM BRYAN'S SPEECH

The man employed for wages is as
much a business man as his en-
ployer.
II they ask us why it is that we say
more on the money question than on
the traiff question, we reply that if
protection has slain its thousands,
the gold standard has slain its tens
of thousands.
We shall answer their demand DIS
for a gold standard by saying to
them, you shall not press down upon
the brow of labor this crown of
thorns; you shall not cruelty man
kind upon a cross of gold.
You tell us the great cities are in
favor of the gold standard. Burn
down your cities and leave your
farms and your cities will grow up
again. But destroy our farms and
the grass will grow in every city of
the Union.
NV friends, we shall declare that
this nation is about to legislate for
its people on every question without
waiting for the consent of any other
nation upon earth, and upon that
issue we expect to carry every State
in the nation.

man who is not willing to pay his

If any man wants to vote to inn
poverish the poor in order to pamper
the rich; if any man wishes to pro-
tect the manufacturer at the expense
of his poorly paid laborers if any
man prefers to support the party
that for thirty years has persistently
endeavored to put black heels on
white necks, just let him come out
in the open, call himself Republic
can and vote the ticket. But when
man who calls himself Demo-
crat talks of doing that sort of thing,
we are forced to believe that he
lacks the courage to call himself
what he is.

SILVER CHAMPIONS.
The National Silver Party and
the POpulites,
Both Assembled in Convention in st.
Louis, and Appoint a Commit
tee of Conference.
The Silver Party will UnquestiOnably En-
dorse Bryan and SewalI.-The Pop
ulists May or May Not Do
Likewise.

The National Silver Party and the
National Populist Party, both met
in st. Louis last Tuesday, but have
been slow in perfecting organization
and getting down to steady work.
They are all friends of silver, but
there seems TO be some radical diff
ferences as to ways and means, the
trouble arising between factions,
some wanting to endorse the Demo-
cratic nominees for President and
Vice-President, and others insisting
on straight ticket of their own.
The result is in doubt, with the
chances apparently in favor of an
endorsement of Bryan and Sewall.
A Message From Senator Teller.
One of the interesting incidents in
the Silver Convention, was the read
ing of the following letter from Sen
ator Teller, which was vociferously
applauded.
"July.21.-I. n. Stevens, st. Louis:
The money question overshadOws
all other questions. On it's rightfnl
determination depends the prosperi-
ty of the people and the perpetuity of
republican institutions. All other
