IS THE "sILvER CRAZE" DYING
OUT?

The Republican organs are trying to de-
ceive their readers Dy saying that "the
silver craze is dying OUT Do the
crowds continually gathering on the
streets talking on the silver question in
dictate that the silver craze is dying outp"
Does the fact that the people refuse to
discuss any other issue Of politics except
the silver question indicate that the
"silver craze is dying out9" Does the
fact that the farmers and laborers are
talking greater interest than ever before
in the silver question indicate that the
"silver craze is dying out9" Does the fact
that the masses of the people turned out to
greet Bryan oil along the way from Me-
braska to New York indicate that the
"silver craze" Is dying out?" Does the
fact that the Democrats, Populists and
Nationals are all united on this one great
question and that they are being joined
by thousands OF Republicans indicate that
the "silver craze is dying outS" Not
much The cause of free coinage Of
silver is marching on to victory and the
ranks are being increased every day

Secretary Smith and the president OF
between any member of the cabinet
and that the personal relations between
the president and Mr.. Smith are still
most cordial.
Mr.. Smith has enjoyed the respect
and confidence of Mr.. Cleveland at all
times, and has been given the broadest
latitude ever given any cabinet officer
in the management of the affairs of his
department. IL is known TO all the cab
met and to such persons as are in the
presidents confidence in this matter
that it is with sincere regret that he
secs Mr.. Smith separate officially from
the administration, but the secretary's
sense of the fitness of things would not
admit of his remaining in the cabinet
after he found himself not in political
accord with the president and the other
members of the cabinet, and that he
could not yield his opinion on account
OF his position or mis- personal friend.

Journal, declared that it would support
Bryan and Sewall.
Mr.. Smith declines to discuss the SUBJ
relations between the president and Mr..
Smith have in no wise been disturbed.
Mr.. Smiths resignation, his friends
say, grew out Of his differences with
his chief on the question of party
policy and his delicate desire not to
embarrass the president at such a time.
Beyond the question of his concep.
tion of party loyalty in acQuiesclng in
the will of the majority, Mr.. Smith dur
ing his campaign for the gold standard
in Georgia against ex.Speaker Crisp
had given personal pledge that he
would, if defeated, support the nomi-

able man, his friends say, he felt it his
duty to redeem that pledge. He in.
formed the presinent of his position
and intentions, and to avoid embarrass-

great pOsitiveness that the step which
Secretary Smith felt himself compelled

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The County Convention has been held,
and ticket nominated. The stodied
and adroit efforts OF some Republican
leaders to wreck it on the rocks Of discord
have proved an ignominious failure. A
ticket has been nominated which reoog-
nizes all Of the different elements In the
party and IL means desperate conflict In
the county. II any one assumes that the
ticket Is weak and that It's defeat will be
easily accomplished, they are greatly in
error True, there will be some to find
fault with 1t, but the opposition to IL will
not be more than the average against any
ticket. Whatever bitterness may be ex-
hibited against It at oil, is only the bois-
ferrous opposition of the hour that will
fade away before half of the battle shall
have been fought and the Republicans
should not forget the timely admonition
Of Chaunoey NJ. Depew, that the Dem
crats have remarkable faculty for har-
monizing their differences.
The ticket is the most available that
could have been nominated. 1t is the
greatest combination that was ever made
in Stark county convention. Squire

A COLLEGE PRESIDENT FOR FREE
COINAGE.

President Andrews, OF Brown uni
versity, was delegate to the Brussels
monetary conference and has hitherto
favored waiting for international BIZ
metallism." But Mr.. Andrews has now
taken his stand for American bimetall-
ISM" The following letter speaks for
itself:
!. Brown University, Providence, r. L.,
June 80, 1895. stephen W. Nickerson,
Boston, Mass. My Dear Sir: In yours
Of the Goth inst, after adverting to Ger
nusch's latest position touching the policy
of the United States in free coinage of
silver at 16 to l. without waiting for an
international agreement, you ask what,
II any, objections I would urge against
their policy. reply that 1 would urge
none. The vast new output in gold in
recent years as compared with that of sill
YER impresses me that free coinage by the
United States alone would not lead to the
displacement OF our gold; that, therefore,
free coinage would be safe. II 1t is safe
ID is certainly desirable OF oourss no
one can be absolutely certain that we
could proceed with silver free coinage
and yet retain our gold. therefore do
not dogmatize, but leave that to the gold
men. To my mind, however, the over
whelming probability Is that gold would
stay with us. have noticed of late no
serious arguments to show that 1t would
not. Cordially.

SHERIFF DOLLS LETTER.

Sheriff Doll has written letter to
Captain Dick Walker, of Topeka, Kansas,
in which he tries to belittle the growing
silver sentiment In this community.
The sheriff first raps Colonel Holloway
over the knuokles for leaving the Re-
publican party. He says that Colonel
Holloway was one Of the most eDthusias-
tic Mckinley men In the city and during
the greatest jolliflcation meetings here
after the st. Louis convention, rode at the
head of each procession escorting the
various delegations to Governor McKin-
marshal of the Escort club, but failed Of
election. Immediately after that he
turned over to the opposition.
Colonel Holloway, as many other Dem
ocrats, TUNED out to the Mckinley
demonstration because 1t was gotten up
by the Business Mems Association, aud
was supposed to be local demonstration
and not political one. When the Re-
publican committee asked Colonel Hollo-
way to join the Escort Club, he told
them that was another matter and refused
to join 1t. So far as his name being pre-
seDted to the club as a candidate for chief
marshal of the Escort Club, he knows
nothing about it, for he was noe present
When Sheriff Doll speaks of the Bryan
Silver Club having but 400 or $50 men,
bers, he either states what is not correct,
or he is willfully trying to belittle the
organization. The Bryan Silver Club Is
composed of over 700 members. In addi-
tion to 1t, there Is also q Bryan Club In
the West End containing from 800 to 800
members; one In the East End containing
about 300 members; one in the fifth ward
containing 100 members, and one in the
sixth ward, where they raised Bryan
pole, containing over 200 members. II
this is disputed by Sheriff Doll, the books
of the secretaries Of the different clubs are
open to his inspection.
The sheriff also says that the precinct
In which Major Mckinley lived before he
went to Columbus, which is Precinct A
of the seventh ward, is two to one for
Mckinley. II this is ell you claim, and
he does not run better elsewhere, he will
lose his city, his county and his state.
The vote of that precinct is nearly three to
one, as shown by the following figures
for the last five years:

RACE MEETING CLOSES WITH

A cool but clear day, a good track and
a good list Of entries should have brought

The first race on the card was the 2 .87

starter had plenty Of trouble getting the
horses of, in every heat Of this race. In
the second heat, Bessie X. broke badly,
and was placed back. Before the race
