Gaithersburg, Md, Aug. 18.-It is
stated that Capt. Frederick C. Peck,
one of the wheelhorses among the Re
publican politicians of Montgomery
county, will support the silver candi-
dates, Bryan and Sewall. He is a
clerk in the Pension Office in Wash
ington, and last winter was very ac-
tive in Annapolis for Hon. George l..
Wellington and materially aided
him in his canvass for the United
States Senatorship.
Mr.. r. w. Stout, a prominent Repub-
lican of Coolesville district. Mont
gomery county. announces that he will
support Bryan and Sewall at the com.
ing election.

The press of the State has given eX-
preston to the deep regret that is felt
in every sanctum at the untimely death
of Mr.. Goshen, editor of the Winston
Republican. He was an excellent edi-
tor, having the gift of the true journ-
alist. He was man of industry, me th-
cd, and capacity. He was strong par
tisan, but his personal qualities made
him friends in all parties. The local
page of the Winston Republican was
always model of condensation, free
from politics, and full of deep interest
for the progress and prosperity of his
section.

INSURANCE. AND INSURANCE CIR
CULARS.

We laid aside The Raleigh News and
Observer to copy from it relative to a
new dodge of the goldbugs, but some
how the copy has got out of the way.
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company that has been doing
business in the South for n half a
century perhaps, has issued a circular
appeal to policy holders, the purpose
of which is to brighten them into sup
porting the goldbug party, including
the Hannaites. A well-known gentle
man in this city is insured in that
old company, and he is the recipient of
one of these cunning circulars. He
told us few days ago that after read
ing it if he had not been a bimetallist
he would have become one. The
whole plea is specious, misleading,
full of twaddle and absolutely false.
The arguments are threadbare and
have been exposed thousand times by
bimetallists.- Wilmingt Messenger.

men can hear him think as they sit

did Butler nominate him as a venture?
