Money-The Republican party is unre-
seryedly for sound money. II caused the
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments in 1870.
Since then every dollar has been rs good
as sold. we are unalterably opposed to
currency or impair the credit of our coun-
try. We are, therefore, opposed to the
free coinage of silver except by interna-
tional agreement with the leading COM
mercial nations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote, and until
such agreement can be obtained the exist
ing gold standard must be preserved. All
our silver and paper currency must be
maintained mt n parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to maintain
inviolably the obligations of the United
states and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard--the
standard of the most enlightened nations
of the world.--Republican Platform.

If free coinage of silver means a53 cent

free coinage means n one hundred cent

we nov have and which will he as hard

PHENIx CITY GREATLY EXCITED

27o Operatives Struck Because of a Reduc-
ton of Wages.
Phenix City, via Columbus, Ga, March
28.--(Special.) --This town is in a state of
greater excitement than it has been in
months, owing to a strike that occurred
in the Eagle and Phenix mills over in
Columbus, where several hundred people
from this city and Girard, are among the
employees At noon today 270 operatives,
but of the ATS in the weave department of
the mills, struck, the company having
reduced their wages 10 per cent in two
grades of goods. There are about thirty
grades of goods and the mill people claim
they were Obliged to make the cut on &C
count of the small demand for goods,
whereas the weavers claim gross in
justice was done them in cutting their
wages. The strikers half forced half
persuaded other weavers to go out also,
and in one. case where the operatives
were in a closed room they forced an en-
trance by breaking the latch of the door.
There is an intense feeling among the
strikers, though the town Is quiet. The
270 men, women and children VIC struck
held an indignation meeting at Sum-
mersgill hall tonight. All but strikers
were excluded. If the strikers do not re-
turn to work the mills will have to shut
down. Assistant Superintendent It. w.
Tillman received an anonymous letter be-
fore the strike occurred telling him there
was a plot among the operatives to whip
and perhaps, kill him, and warning him
to keep on his guard.

Mr.. Clarke Lost Many Votes by His Speech
in Troy.
Troy, March 2S.-(Special Mr.. Clarke
spoke here today. A good sized crowd
turned out, being estimated by numerous
persons at about one-half the number
here when Johnston spoke. He was beau
tifully introduced by Colonel Sanford.
With grace and ease and with the power
of a fine reasoner, he delivered in sub
stance his slate speech, which has been
printed and scattered through this coun-
ty. No converts were made for Clarke.
The Johnston men assert that from fifty
to 100 were made for Johnston. Under
the circumstances the occasion was tame
and disheartening for the Clarke men.
The Johnston men are jubilant at the
result of today, and feel that while 1t
opened for Clarke 1t really closed a john
ston triumph Johnstons friends are
firm, and from their eyes the CLEAN in

Pike is decidedly for Johnston. The
