question at Jackson. Miss, when "a mile

cratic Convention should nominate such e
candidate. 1 answered that while 1 did
not believe that the Democratic party
would take such action. / would refuse
10 support tie nominee in the event that
Il did select a gold standard candidate on
a gold-standard platform. 10 was this
statement TO which Mr.. Carlisle referred
when he. q few days later called me a
populist and refused to debate the silver
question with me- at Lexington, Ky.

FALL DRESS GOODS.

The way the Fall Dress
Goods are selling shows that
our effort to offer the best
grade of goods at low prices
is being appreciated. The
variety is greater than we
have ever shown so early in

lower for high quality than
