ers have enrolled and will be candi-
dates for certificates to teach in this
county. Up to the present (Wednes-

The main work of the Institute is
the presentation of methods by the
Conductor and his assistants, for the
especial good of those less eX-
peIienced in the art of teaching
besides, as an opportunity presents
itself, advantage is taken to incul-
cate upon the Institutes mind GER

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-07-03
RAINS, THE DRUGGIST.

THAT silver craze you have been
reading about has gone crazy
enough to invade the gold bugs in
their native lair-the great New
York State. Col. John r. Fellows,
the eloquent eX-Congressman, and
a gold-bug delegate to the Chicago
convention, says, 81 am going to
Chicago to fight for gold, but there
is no use, for it will be planting and
no fruit, sowing and no harvest
free silver IS to /, will carry New
York" The New York Herald, a
pronounced gold-standard advocate,
expresses its alarm at this "porten-
tiOus and menacing political spec
ter" So far reaching and all per.
vading is this silver revolution, that
if the Chicago convention makes nc
mistake, the Jig is up with the gold
ties and Mckinley will be the worst
beaten man who ever ran for Presi-
dent.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-07-03

THERE was never a year in the
political history of this country
when larger State conventions were
held to select delegates to the
National conventions. Wherever
you have read of State conventions
they have been spoken of as enthu-
siastic and overlooking. In short,
the people have been in the saddle,
and it logically follows that the st.
Louis convention represented the
wishes of the majority of the Repub-
lican party, and that the Chicago
convention next week will represent
and express, through its platform
and its candidate, the wishes of the
majority of the Democratic party
1t is perfectly safe to predict that
the issues will be plainly, fairly and
fiercely drawn, and that these issues
will be a gold standard on the one
side, and bimetallism, with silver
and gold at l6 to l, on the other; a
protective tariff, with protection for
projections sake, on the one side
with tariff for revenue only and
such incidental protection as that
may give, on the other; with boun-
ties to this class and pensions to that
and favors to others, on the one side,
while on the other we find a decla-
ration for the economical admins
tration of the laws for the greatest
good to the greatest number, without
special privileges to any. With
these issues, sharply drawn, as they
will be, the Democrats, we hope and
believe, will successfully appeal to
the country.
