MARBLE HILL.

The platform of the Ohio repub-
Sean convention Of 1886 which, if
not wholly written, was undoubt-
edly dictated BY William McKin-
ley, has this to say in regard to sill
yer: ''Its coinogc and use as a cir
cuiating medium should he steadily
maintained ard constantly encour-
aged by the national government;
aud we advocate such policy as
will, by discriminating legislation
Or otherwise, most speadiIy restore
TO silver its righttul place as mon
ey metal"
This was good republicanism
forty days'beiore the st, Louis con.
vention and q square admission that
silver had been robbed of its right
tnl place as u money metal. Turn
now to the national platform of
1892 and we find this republican
gospel "The American people,
from tradition and interest, favor
bimetalli3m, and the republican
party demands the use Of both gold
and silver as standard money" No
present gold standard man would
have been considered a good repub-
lican four years ago. No, sir. Bi
metaIIism, silver standard as we'll
as gold, was the war cry. Now let
us go back four more years. "The
republican party is in favor Of the
use of both gold and silver as mon
ey, and condemns the democratic
administration in its efforts to de-
monetize silver" Under this ban
ner the republicans Of 1895 marched
to victory. No intimation Of a
present gold standard then. No
thought of asking the permission Of
foreign nations IN that convention
but curses and anathemas upon all
who would--do what? (the very
thing which was done at the st.
Louis convention) endeavor to de-
monetlze silver; declare for the
gold standard alones, oppose the
free coinage Of silver at any ratio,
until Gabriel blows his trumpet, or
what amounts to the same thing,
until the money manipulators Of
the worll agree that it may be
done How are the mighty fallen?

In Mr.. Bryan the Chicago conven-

gentleman OF exceptional ability
and Of high character. No man of
his age was better known through
out the United States than he. A
member Of congress for four years,
he commanded the admiration and
respect of all his associates in that
body as a scholarly student and
profound thinker. No. man had
ever assaulted his character or in
any way questioned his integrity
or moral worth His character is q
good example for the young men
Of this country. He has shown iu
all his public utterances that he
loves his country and his country
men, and that he sympathizes with
them in their distress. He has
also shown that he believed the f.
nancial system which makes gold
the standard Of values was in a
great degree the cause of the de-
preston and financial distress pre-
valent throughout the land; that the
condition now existing will con-
tinue while the present monetary
system lasts and that he would tain
return to the use Of both. gold and
silver as they were used prior to
1878, and he has proposed such a
change Of the financial system by
the usual constitutionafmetho eds.
Such was the character and. such
the political opinions Of the candid
ate known to his countrymen,. who,
by their representatives in conven-
ton, selected from every state in
the union, put him in nomination
for the highest Office within the gift
Of the American people.
This critical period in our ma
tional history, Our industrial and
financial independence OF other ma
tons and people is involved in this
campaign, and we firmly believe
there will be no return Of prosper
ity until we shall have changed our
financial system 50 as to restore the
bimetaIhc system established by
the fathers Of the republic; and so
believeing, we urge all friends of
gold and silver as standard money
and the opponents Of q single gold
standard to give to M. Bryan and
Mr.. SeWall their hearty support.
In advising this course we do not
consider it necessary that they shall
abandon orsurrender, their political
views on other questions.
Profoundly impressed with the

One of the most beneficent of the CO.
operative plans that during recent
years have sprung into such favor is
the building and loan association. The
recent report of the Hon. Carroll D.
Wright, chief of the national labor
bureau, gives very encouraging sta
tistics regarding the growth OF these
associations. Every state in the Union
now has them. Pennsylvania contains
more than a thousand, Ohio more than
seven hundred, then follow in order,
Illinois, Indiana, New York and Mis-
souri,. In the south these associations
are even more popular than in New
England, undoubtedly because New
England contains more savings banks.
The country, on the whole, contains
six thousand of these savings associa-
tions, and less than one-twelftE of
them are more than fifteen years old.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE KILLED IN
THE ATLANTIC CITY HORROR.
s. H. Murphy, Who Was Supposed
to Be Dead, Sends n. Dispatch An
nouncing That He is Very Much
Alive.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. l.
So far as can be determined the num-
Der of persons killed in the railroad ac-
cident on Thursday night was forty
four. Forty bodies have been identi-
fed and four are unidentified.
The body of Thomas Kelly, Elmer,
N. j., was identified today. Several
injured are in a critical condition.
Mrs. Faunce F'ralinger of Philadelphia,
whose right leg was amputated yester-
day, is still very low and there is no
hope of her recovery. There is much
Melville to the effect that S. H. Muir
ply, who has been numbered among
the dead, is alive and we'll at home.
The body supposed to be his was iden-
titled as such by fifteen people. An i'm
preston prevails that the responsibility
for the accident rests upon the dead
engineer, Edward Farr. There is no
dispute that the signal to go ahead
was given to the West Jersey excur-
sion train and if so, the danger signal
must necessarily have been given to
the Reading track by the automatic ar
rangement. The theory is that Farr
did not slow up and could not stop IN
time when he saw the West Jersey
train approaching. 1t is said that ne
had been laid off two weeks not long
ago for not making good time and it IS
supposed he was trying to make Up for
this by running at a high rate of speed

o'clock on Monday morning. Fire
man OHoulahan of the Reading train
who saved his life by jumping, will
probably be the principal witness.

CHEAP RELIGION.

1 entreat you, do not covet a cheap
religion. What costs nothing is abso-
lutely worth nothing. To become a new
man and an heir of glory means more
than singing a card or rising for
prayer or to go into an inquiry meet
ing 1t means the thorough uprooting
of old sins and the implanting in you
of a new nature. The whole question
of your salvation must be settled be-
tween you and your Saviour. The in
quiry meeting you need most is an hon

book, no sermon. no friend, no pastor

conscience, do it. The loving Saviour,
who has waited for you 100 long al

obedience is the one straight road to
