Byron Is for Gold.

There is still marked excitement in the
little oxford county town of Byron re-
garding the discovery of gold that was
made in that region last spring.
One of the most Interested parties in
the development of the yellow metal is
Mr. George Milliken of Portland who has
devoted a great deal of time to the fur
therance of the scheme which promises
big results. He has just returned from a
stay of several days in Byron and speaks
in glowing terms of the prospects.
The gold mines in Byron said Mr..
Miliiken to a reporter. ARE showing bet
ter and better results every day; in fact
everything looks brighter every time
make a visit. Two practical miners ar
rived here today" he continued. "and
they are going up to Byron this after
noon. They viii spend Il number of days
examining the specimens recently found
and the report they will give of their in
spection Will be most important one.
The natives of the region are still at
work digging the metal out of the soil
and their good luck has continued right
along from the very first day the discov-
ery was made. They will go on in this
way fer the next two months at least
provided we have any kind of fair wealth
err
In a few weeks steps will be taken to
organize company to purchase the
property and work the mines.

Georgia Election This Week.

On Wednesday Georgia will have a
rank higher than Georgia as to educa-
ton and only three are lower as to
illiteracy. 1t is authoritatively stated
that 40 per cent. of Georgia's popula-
ton over 10 years of age can neither
read nor write. 1t is not probable that
this campaign of education has made
any deep impress upon that kind Of
voters Moreover the fight there APP
pears to be rather between the Popu-
lists and the Democrats than between
the Republicans and the latter. 1t will
be interesting to note what influence
the spirit of fusion of Populsts and
Democrats on national issues will exert
upon the state election there. This is
Watson's state and If the Populists,
whose nominations Mr.. Watson con-
trolled, be showed under it will be in
order for Messrs Sewall and Bateman
and Watson to patch up some sort of
truce. at least to the extent of keep
ing quiet.
The Populists first showed strength
years ago, when Weaver received AZ, 937
votes. In 1894 the Populists polled
96,SSS votes and the Democrats 121 ,049

In 1892 the total vote polled was 223,946,

Pro-, 9SS. Under the new registration
| law this year the total registration is

of four years ago. OF this registra-
| ton S9,9S1 are colored voters In q
| counties the colored are in excess of
| the white voters. Already the Popu-
| lists are crying fraud, as they did in
1894. The national committeeman of
that party asserts that the registration
in Atlanta, alone, is double the legiti-
| mate vote and in the large towns the
| Populists are without representation
on the election boards. This cry of
fraud evidently is in anticipation of de-
feat, though undoubtedly warranted by
the circumstances, for this state is
VIGOROUSLY corrupt in the matter of
elections. and the corruption isn't all
confined to one party. Politicians in
| that state have been schooled in ex-
periences that are disgraceful and it is
doubtful if the election of Wednesday

Just how much the silver trust loves
the laboring man is seen from several
facts. One reported by the Jackson
Leader (Cal.) is to the effect that the
employees of the Utica mine 600 in
number, have been compelled to sub
scribe $40 each to the Bryan fund in
furtherance of the scheme to enable
mine owners in the future to pay their
employees in 50-cent dollars. This, not
withstanding the secretary of the sill

The Republican papers and speakers
have not discussed the tariff during
this campaign. at least not to any con-
siderable extent. They have felt that
this battle can be won on the financial
issue alone. That was made prominent
in all the platforms adopted this year
and the people seemed anxious to hear
II discussed. At the commencement OF
the present campaign speaker VINO
attempted to discuss the tariff was re-
peatedly interrupted with such ques-
tons as this: What is the matter
with gold and silver?" The audience
ment by the calls that they wanted to
hear the money question discussed.
I'VE are all right on the tariff, but
what of money!"
But of late somewhat different
spirit has come into vogue. I'm Council
Bluffs Speaker Byers recently made a
speech. He spoke for one hour and
half on the money question: He was
listened to and applauded To a degree
Then he stopped and said "t%entlemen.

hour and half now l wa mt to talk
10 minutes on the tariff" Nearly the
whole audience arose at tina suggestion
and commenced to cheer, in fact, to
yell. All those present wefe dumb

largely made up of laborng men and
men in business pursuits It was a

of many pseple. The people have been
thinking over the whole situation and
they know what the matter it,
But to what we have suffered the
Bryanites propose to add more suffer

licans have gladly discussed that prop

convention. which is proposition to

ton which Maj. Mckinley placed first

But 1t is always understood that neither
Maj Mckinley nor his party have
dropped the tariff. Sound money Dem
ocrats would despise him and his party
if they did such thing. Neither will
those who believe in the maintenance
of sound money object to the introduc-
tlon OF the tariff issue wherever that
issue is controlling one.
