Whitley, led the devotional service, being
followed by an evangelistic service under
the leadership of Rev. Henry Ostrom. of
Milwaukee. who at once captured the
young people as well as the old.
Then a surprise was sprung on many by
the announcement that the election of

BOND ISSUES VALID.
Ohio Law Regarding Classification of
Cities Constitutional.

COLUMBUS, o., June 25.-The Supreme
Court handed down decision to-day hold
ing that the classification of cities con-
forms to the requirements of the Consti-
tuition and the question of the validity of
the bond issues authorized by the Legisla-
ture in so-called special acts is thereby
settled for all time. The court holds that
all doubts should be resolved in favor of
a statute classifying cities that has stood
for number of years without challenge
and cities have conformed their government
to it, and where to declare IL invalid would
necessarily result in great public incon-
venience The decision was IN the case of
the State against John w. Baker ct al a
suit brought in quo warranto to test the
constitutionality of an act relating to the
Youngstown.
The Supreme Court also sustains the law
levying an excise tax on the gross receipts
of street railroad, electric light and like
corporations.

MORGAN TO WHITNEY.
Open Letter from the Alabamian ON
the silver Question.

the silver Question.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator John
T. Morgan. of Alabama. has addressed an
open letter on the silver question TO the
Hon. William c. Whitney in response TO
the latters communication of June H-
After saying that Mr.. whitney's letter is
entitled to the sincere respect which ii
receives from the whole people" Mr.. Nor
gan discusses somewhat the question OF
an international agreement and says: 1T
seems to be very vague and distant nope
that Great Britain will ever yield TO Eu-
ropean or American states a real partici-
patton in her financial policy by treaty
agreements" Senator Morgan assumes tnat
no American statesman can prevent Sucn
a plan as our government will ever con-
sent to adopt or can agree to under the
Constitution and makes the friendly chal-
lenge to Mr.. Whitney to state the plan
which you would advise the Democracy
to accept as basis. at least for an In
ternational agreement. The Senator con-
cludes as follows: '.As YOU seem 10 agree
with the Democracy of the South and West
that silver should be fully remonetized, /
respectfully submit to your candid 1udg-
ment whether this restoration of the rights
of our people is not more justly TO be ex-
pected from the action and power of our
own government, that has never failed In
such an effort than from Great Britain
or any coordination of European powers
who will do nothing of the kind except
upon. the inducement of some selfish mo-
tive"

Senator PETER Says POpulists Do Not

senator PETER Says Populists Do Not
Want to BE GobbIed by Democrats.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator PETER
left to-day for home. Before starting he
said, concerning the Populist attitude on
the presidential question: 1.-The recent pro-
nunciamento of few Populist gentlemen
at ST. Louis urging the Democratic con-
vention to nominate Mr.. Teller was, in my
judgment an impertinence, and was
treacherous so far as it attempted to speak
for the Populist party as whole. These
gentlemen spoke without authority from
the Populist party, and do not believe the
party will sustain them. They had not con-
ferred with the party and had been given
no commission to speak for it, Personally,
/ have a high regard for Mr.. Teller. but
have no idea that the whole party spirit OF
the Democratic organization Will be so
far relaxed as TO bring about his nomina-
ton. And, in any event. L do not think
dorsement of the Democratic presidential
ticket, even though the nominee is for free
silver. and the platform contains posi-
tive free-silver declaration. l regard the
integrity and perpetuity of the Populist
party as essential to the carrying out OF re-
forms We have espoused. The money ques-
cratic convention doubtless will be for free
silver, yet ii will not be expressive of those
other great questions of land tenure and
as vital. had hoped that there might be
some amalgamation of Democrats Popu-
lists. silver men and all others, in "a new
declaration of principles. and If need be.
a new name, but the time for that has
gone by, and all that remains is for the
Populist party to maintain its integrity
by nominating its own candidates on its
own Platform. Concerning the Populjst
candidates. personally favor the nomina-
tion OF Governor Holcomb. of Nebraska.
for first place on the ticket. and / had
considered Nugent, of Texas. as the strong
est man for second place up to the time
of his death. Under the circumstances
Tom Watson. of Georgia. is probably the
most available man. This combines the
West and the South. the two sections to
which We look for results"

and destroying several thousand dol
lars worth of liquor and other prop
eI1by. Pearson appealed to the Supreme

other Offense of less consequence and
sent from Burke to the Eredell county
roads for eleven months during the
tendency of his appeal. Sunday night
he made a mysterious escape from the
