His Body Inefneraled.
THE DEATH OF "A sTANCH MEMBER OF
THE DUNKARDS.


THE DUNKARDS.
There is an interesting and some
what pathetic story connected with
the death of Jacob q. Davis, the San
Francisco business man, which occurr
ed at the Continental Hotel on Wed
nesday last. The remains were incin
Grated Friday at the Germantown
Crematory, and the ashes were laid
away in the old Dunkard burying
ground, in Germantown. Mr.. Davis
was rs years old, having been born in
this city. The great grandfather oil
his mother, Rev. Alexander Mack,
came from Germany in 1746, and was
the first Dunkard preacher in this
country. He established the old Dunk
ard Church, in Germantown, in 1850,
which was the first church of that de-
nomination on this side of the Allan
tic.
When a young man Mr.. Davis went
to California at the time of the gold
fever, in 49, He amassed fortune,
and of recent years had been consider
ed one of the wealthiest men in San
Francisco. He was member of the
real estate firm of Boyd & Davis, was
president of the Mining Bureau and
connected with varisous business en-
terprises. He also devoted his large
fortune to philanthropic motives, and
among other worthy objects engaged
in he was president of the California
Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children and Animals.
q About two months ago Mr.. Davis
wife died, and at that time he resolved
to come back to Philadelphia and re-
build the old Dunkard church at Ger
mantoWn, as a mark of respect to his
mothef's memory Although separat-
ed for nearly half a century from old
associations, and church companion
ship, he hei5 tenaoi0asfy to the faith
of his fathers, Accordingly the jour
ney East was undertaken. He arrived
in Philadelphia during the week before
last. His death, from neuralgia of the
heart, was Aery sudden. AS he had
expressed the wish to be buried in the
old Dunkard church yard his desire
was carried out.
Notwithstand Mr.. Davis death the
work of rebuilding the Dunkard church
will be continued. The old building,
a landmark for over century, is noS
to be disturbed, but a substantial new
church edifice is being erected in the
rear as an addition. It will cost over
$40, 00.-Philadelphia Record.

What Tillman SAYS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Senator Tillman
sends the following to the Tribune:
81 do not concede McKinlev's election,
although returns up to date point that
way. If he is elected the fight against
plutocracy and the gold standard will
not be abandoned. The present agita-
tion can no more be stopped than that
which resulted in the emancipation of
the slaves. The agricultural classes
can never hope for prosperous times
under the gold Standard

Mckinley Elected.

It becomes our sad and painful duty
to Announce to our readers after some
delay, that VIM. Mckinley of Ohio, is
to be the next President of the United
States. This is triumph of might
over right, of Doodle over brains. OF
corporations, trusts, monopolies, aris-
tocracy, piutocracy, bribery and cor
ruption over the plain people and
honest toilers. The result is not sur
prising, indeed it would have been a
far greater surprise had the people
won. But there are birds of prey and
birds to be preyed upon, and as the ass
must have master. to be servicable
to man, so must we suppose the toiler
in the land be the serf and tool of some
petty autocrat, who like the centurian
of old can say to one servant "go," and
he goeth, and to another ''come,"
and he cometh. The methods used in
this election need scarcely be recalled,
suffice it to say that they sayored OF
that honesty which must always be the
model for future political campaigns,
and monument of integrity to which
those who advocate the purity of the
ballot can point with just pride. Every
trick that republicanism is heir to, or
has invented, was resorted to. Money
flowed like water. Votes were pur-
chased openly, Or tie person who
would have voted was paid to remain
away from the polls. But we are used
to this, we know what a republican
heeler and trixter will do, we are al
ways prepared for it, and an election
without him would not seem like an
election. OF the regular heller and
briber we do not complain, but know
him when we see him, and we see him
every election. But there was fea-
ture of this campaign which did send
a thrill of sadness through the demo-
Gratis of Virginia, and which has left
deep and lasting trace. We allude to
that hat element only in Virginia which
assumed our name, hnt were spies from
the camp of the enemy. We had never
thought the men who perpetrated that
fraud capable of deception, nor did we
think true Virginians capable OF grow
cling in such political filth. It is those
men of whom we complain, who turned
upon their people and friends, and
like Malone whilst declaring them
selves "better democrats than Ben
HILL" have made negro domination in
this State again possible, and attempt
ed the assassination of the democratic
party. Had this been done as honesty
would have dictated, by an open fight
made by entering in at the straight
gate of the republican household, we
would have made no complaint how
deep SO ever our regret, but he who
entereth not in at the straight gate,
but climbeth up some other way, the
same is a thief and q rcbber.

In the election of Maj. Mckinley to
the presidency, the country is promis-
ed great prosperity. The gold stand
ard so much beloved by those who
have gold is maintained, and increased
taxes are vouchsafed. These impor-
tant elements of prosperity are in the
hands of the persons in power and as
the people have placed them there, no
complaint should be made if we find
ourselves enjoying the same kind of
prosperity we have so much enjoyed
for many years. For thirty years we
have had the gold standard which the
republican party now pledges itself to
maintain. For thirty years we have
been paying the heavies taxes of any
nation on earth, and we are promised
more. In thirty years under the gold
standard we have had five panics, and
suffered poverty and distress enough
for one thousand years. 1t was thought
that the sad lesson we had learned
would induce change, but like the
prisoner of Chiilon we love the chain
that binds us.
Let US then not murmur nor COM
plain. We have known poverty and
distress under this most blessed stand
ard and under that most divine law of
protection, but the fault lay not in
these, we are told, but in ourselves.
We agitated the money question and
advocated the coinage of silver. Let
us not do this again, lest we be again
lost, lest we have panics and starva
ton once more, but let US run with
patience the race that is set before us.
looking to him who is the author and
finisher of our work, the good and true
man whom the people have chosen to
reign over us. Let us now go Loyalty
to the pillow, let us understand that it
is crime to desire better lot, let us
kiss the hand that has smitten US, and
humble ourselves in the dust before
our conqueror. Let-us thank God that
we are allowed to live, and our lords
and masters on earth that we have the
privilege of treading the wine press,
and paying our tithes. This is
the duty of good citizens, and the only
alternative of slaves.
