No doubt the so called National
Democrats desire to be popular
Judging by the past political conven.
tons during this year, these misguided
but no doubt sincere gentlemen, can
in some way arrange split at their
National Convention. In this section
of the country we hear much said by
gold Democrats concerning boilers,
anarchists, repudiationists.
Unless they in their conventions act
wisely and cautiously, they may have
TO submit to the encouragement, if not
humiliation, of seeing large part of
their supposed adherents advocate
strange views on the financial question.
Senator Hill has intimated that the
"free and unlimited coinage of silver"
sentiment will sweep the country in
1896. The sweeping will soon be
finished; so far, the work has been
pretty thoroughly done.
If the leaders of the Third Party are
forced to regard even a FEW of their
followers as boilers, anarchists and re-
pudiationists, because of refusal to
accept the dictates or demands of East
ern capitalists, bankers and protected
manufacturers, these leaders will, we
think, feel rather lonesome, so few
and far between will they be in this
section-say in this county or congress
sional district. However, men are not
to advocate cause because it is popu-
lar, but because it is right or conduc-
i've to the greatest good of the masses
OF county, state or nation.

WHAT ABOUT MCKINLEY?
Where Does he Stand?

In 1892 Mr.. Mckinley both by dec
laration and recorded vote was one
thing OH the money question and to-
day by an adopted platform of a ma
jority in the ST. Louis Republican con-
vention ne changes front. What is
he and "whare is he at" is the ques-
ton and to all appearances with Mr..
Mckinley himself. The major may
speak out on the money question.
He has dared in opposition to Boss
Hanna to speak politically taking the
bit in his teeth and in no uncertain
tones on the tariff QUESTION, alike de-
nounces the Democratic administra-
ton, Cleveland, Carlisle and others
and the Democratic party as well.
He now stands squarely against the
Democratic party and the single
standard party.
Mr.. Hanna had hoped to have the
single standard party to endorse Mr..
at Indianapolis with the
assurance that the tariff question
would 60 nndisturbed, but this attack
on the part of Mr.. Mckinley will
cause such a disturbance that such
an action will be impossible. Mr..
McKinley's position is clearly defined
On the tariff but badly mixed on the
money question, hence he proposes,
f he can, to make the tariff question
paramount to all Others. The Major
will find he has stubborn people to
leal with and that the money ques-
ion will not down. "Where is
he at?'

Proctor, proposes to build a tower
covering one square in Chicago. This
wonderful fabric, which it is expected
will be finished before next summer,
will be l,l5O feet high, not taking
into account the underground struct-
ure. The Eiffel Tower was not so
high by over 200 feet. Mr.. Proctor's
tower will cost 100000. 1t will have
seven landings. the first of which will
be 20 feet above the ground. This
landing, 225 feet square, will accom-
modate 1880 persons, and the other
six landings will accommodate very
nearly as many more.

REV. EvERETTE GILL
Seriously Ill at the Home of Mr.
c. P. Benson in Charlotts
vile, Va.

On the IL inst. Rev. Everette Gill,
pastor of Baptist Church this city, left
here for ten days vacation. He
had not been well for several days
but felt much better upon the day of
his departure. He went to Hampton.
Va, where he was again taken sick,
but got very much better and hoped
to be well in few days. On last
Thursday he was taken violently i'll
and wired to his mother-in-lsw, who
was visiting in Charlottesville, Va, to
have: her daughter, Miss Katie, meet
him at the train and accompany him
home, but when he arrived he was in
such condition that he was taken TO
Mr.. G. P. Benson's residence, and
physician was summoned. Mr.. Gill
was found TO be in a very precarious
condition and it was feared be could
not live until morning. Mrs. Gill was
wired at this place and left on the
fret train Thursday, arriving in
Charlottesville Friday at noon. Mr..
Gill had been operated on for appen-
dicitis when she arrived and was rest
ting comfortably. His friends here
have been in daily communica-
ton with Mrs. Gill, and at this
writing he is getting along
as well as could be expected.
The serious condition of Mr.. Gill has
elected the deepest sympathy of his
congregation and many friends. Dea-
cons of his church wired words of
sympathy and placed themselves at
Mrs. Gill's command. A deep feeling
of sorrow pervades the entire city and |
many have been the petitions for his
recovery. Special prayer meetings
were set apart at the Baptist Church,
and 80 intense was the sympathy that
brethren were overcome by emotion,
and only God knew the prevailing de-
sire of their hearts. Mr.. Gill is loved |
bv all who know him, and never will
he be able to know how he is appre-
ciated here. The prayers of all chris
tan people are for his speedy recev
cry and restoration to his family and
church.

When in religion, politics or bust
ness, men, in order to sustain their
cause, resort TO false statements or in
situations, they reveal to the public
either their embarrassing surround
ings or degenerate and currupted
nature. Under ordinary circumstan-
ces you may be on your guard against
men or women who Willy or insinu-
ate against others. Many persons
having many admirable traits are
often led into the above fault.
Watchfulness along this line should
be our desire.

What is that we have been hearing
about anarchists, regulators and
traitors? We feel sorry for those men
who are so glib of tongue in calling
Democrats anarchists because Demo-
Gratis accept the Chicago platform
adopted by Democratic National
Convention composed of Democratic
delegates. Say, gold Democrats don't
injure your regulations for common
courtesy and good common sense by
insinuating that people who reject
your views on the money question
and adopt the Chicago platform are in
sympathy with men who throw dyno-
mite bombs, wreck trains, burn houses
and commit murder. You may be
telling on your knsfolk.
