To the Editor of the Press:
The PRESS of July 20 contained an ex-
tract from an article written by g. Fred
Williams for one of the Sunday papers,
in which he is reported as saying In ex-

years than ever before" Prices Of WHAT

I can furnish him with few facts, of
which he seems to have been ignorant
from his youth up.
Flour in the Portland market, fell
from SIT per barrel In 1857, to 81 per bar
rel in 1870 1t can be stated still more
forcibly, for flour sold as Wholesale in
1867 at $40 per barrel. 80 ia thrse years
there was decline of Sl3 per barrel, or
about 75 per cent. That this is a fact. |

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Edward Parker Arrested and Accused of
Larceny.

Monday night Deputy Marshal Ster-
ling arrested a man named Edward
Parker on q serious charge. The police
had been looking for this man for nearly
week. and last night he walked into
the police station and gave himself up
The charge against Parker Is brought
by young lady named Miss Annie Hall
and her room mate, Miss Coleman. Ao-
cording to the story told by the two
girls, Parker, who was friend OF Doth
and roomed in the same house with
them. at 90 Free street, came to the
Globe Laundry, where they worked one
afternoon last week and was given key
to the girls room to get a pair Of shoes
belonging to one Of them to take to q
shoemaker for repairs.
When tie girls went home to their
room that night they found that someone
had been there and stolen $34 in money
and a gold watch and chain belonging
to Miss Hall.
On making inquiries, it is claimed, a
boarder was found who had seen Parker
come out of the girls room, although the
shoes which he had arranged to take to
shoemaker to be repaired had not been
touched. AS soon as the girls discovered
ths loss Of the money and watch they re-
ported the matter to the police, but all
attempts to find the man that night or
during the succeeding days failed. Eve-
ry train and boat leaving the city was
watched, but Parker co uld not be found.
Monday night when Parker walked
Into the police station to give himself up
he claimed that he had just come from
Boston and had just learned that the po-
lice wanted him. No trace of the money
or watch was found, but the polioo will
probably put him before the court on this
charge of larceny. the two girls and one
of the boarders at 20 Free street appear
ing as witnesses against him.
Parker is a nice appearing and well
dressed young fellow about 81 years old.
He was for time employed at the Globe
Laundry, but left there some weeks ago.
He will probably be arraigned in court
this morning.

THE NEW YORK PLAN.

The New York Democrats declined,
at their convention this week to nomi-
nate presidential electors. 1t is said
that the failure to nominate is due to
the disposition on the part of the New
York Democracy to enter the cam
paign, if a silver man is named for
President, without nominating any
electoral ticket, confning all IT'S atten-
ton and utterances to State issues and
entirely neglecting national questions.
1t is argued in behalf of this plan,
that on purely local issues the Demo
Gratis could carry New York and re-
elect a legislature that would return
Senator Hill to the United States SEN
ate.
This means that after the silver men
carry the National convention the gold
men in New York will desert the fight.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-06-27

The Washington Post says that al
though the silver men have 200 major
ity in the National convention, the gold
men have a majority of gold men on
the National Executive committee, and
says:
This is going TO give the silver men
trouble, no one can doubt. TO over
come it i'm some instances. Democrats
in several Southern and Western States
when their convention assembled,
brought their committeeman mp before
them. and gave them TO understand
that unless he obligated himself to
represent in his every action and vote
the wishes of his State, the convention
would then and Their repudiate him,
and name a man that would fairly en-
press their views i'm the convention at
Chicago. Whenever this was done. the
National committeeman promised 10
support the principle which his State
advocated, and he was allowed to re
main. In other States, however, over
whelmingly for silver, the National
committeeman is earnestly advocating
the gold standard, and just how the
differences between the committee and
the convention are to be settled in JUS
tice to each, is an interesting question,
and will form a lively feature at the
Chicago convention"
1T is said that gold man will be
made temporary chairman, and if so
it is the talk that the silver men will
present the name of Senator Harris
and elect him over the committee.
Judge Rose, of Arkansas, who is the
member from Arkansas, is a gold man.
and has given his proxy TO Representa-
tive MacRae a strong silver man.
BY the time the Chicago convention
meets, the gold men will see that the
silver men are in such an overwhelm-
ing majority that there will be plain
sailing. 1t will not be as unanimous
as at Raleigh, but there will be enough.

QUAY MAY BE CHAIRMAN.

Canton, o., June 26.-McKinley and
Hanna deny that any selections have
been made for the National executive
committee except that Senator Quay
has been offered the craftsmanship.
There will also be an advisory com
mittee. III. II. Kohlsaat, of Chicago,
will probably be a member of the adj
visory committee as will Cornelius NJ.
Bliss, of New York. Thos. McDougall,
of Cincinnati, was here last night and
had a long talk with Maj. Mckinley
and it is said he has been heard to ac-
cept a place on the advisory commit
tee. To-day Chas. Emory Smith, of
Philadelphia and Chris Magee, of Pitts
burg are here and the matter of the
advisory committee was discussed
with them. Mr.. McDougall said
''There is but one issue and that is the
tariff"
