TOM WATSON TELLS.
If Elected Bryan Can Never Repay Obligations to Watson.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 17-Thomas Watson addressed 2,00O people yester- day. He said the recent elections in Vermont and Maine had conclusively proven that the money power pre- vailed in the north and east. The east could not win alone, neither could the south. Only by massing the forces of each was Bryan's election possible. He urged this hearers to remember that Bryan would owe any success he might have to the Populist party, and that it was the peoples independent party that had compelled the Demo- crats to adopt the Chicago platform. He refrained from the mention of Se- walls name.

The St. Louis Platform Is
 Adopted.
Tempe Delegation Make Decided Stand for Gold Plank Strong County Ticket
 Nominated.

The street corners presented a lively appearance yesterday morning, for delegates from all over the county ar gued the probable result of the con- vention. About 9:30 the Tempe and Mesa delegates and about fifty mem bers of the Mckinley club marched up from the depot headed by Frank Mar malejo, with the American flag and the Tempe brass band.
 The convention was called to order by Chairman McCord of the county central committee. Secretary George Christy read the call.
 After the reading of the call J. J. Hodnett wanted to know why Kyrene had been left out or the list of pre- cincts and made motion that the call be amended. This was opposed by several on the grounds that the con- vention had no authority to amend the call of the county central commit tee. The motion was overruled by the chair.
 Judge Frazier moved that McCord and Gha.isty be made temporary chair man and secretary. They were elected by exclamation.
 Chairman McCord made a speech of acknowledgement in which he upheld the St. Louis platform and jumped straddle of the Democratic platform and silver Republicans. He said that if Diogenes had lived and read the platform of the St. Louis convention he would have said that an honest dollar was the noblest work of man. He said that free and unlimited coin- age of silver by the Nation inde- pendent of any other nation is high sounding, but savors of demagoguery Six times within the last eight years | free coinage of silver has been defeated by Democratic votes and that Grover Cleveland was the avowed enemy of silver. What the country needs is pro | tection, not free trade-good money and not fiat 53-cent silver dollars. He was greeted with tumultous applause at the conclusion of his remarks George Christy was next called upon for speech, i'm which he endorsed the remarks of Chairman McCord. A motion for an appointment of a i and order of business, committee ot live on credentials was made Bot Hudson moved that committee oi seven be appointed on resolutions and platform and that he be appointed chairman. Judge Early made a mo- tfon that ten minutes recess be taken for the chairman to appoint the committee.
 The meeting being called to order the following committees were ap. pointed
 Committee on credentials-J. w Benham, George Kirkland, J. w. Bol ton, R. Kirkland, Wm. Shyler.
 Committee on permanent organiza tdon and order of business-J. B. Early H. Simpkins, H. B. St. Claire, Wade Rulings, c. A. Harris.
 Committee on platform and resolu tions-C. w. Frazier, Thomas Arm strong, J. J. Hodnett, Lloyd Christy Thomas Molloy, J. M. Damron ant Bob Hudson.

t on was, that he might truly follow the ex-
emplar of his faith. His ideal was Jesus
Christ.
That our brother faithfully endeavored to
measure up to his ideal is fact which those
VINO are acquainted with his life VIII readily
accept His devotion and zeal for the cause
of Zion in general, and for the individual
church of which he %Is . member, were truly
marked Ii is not rN:ravagant to assert that
no member OF ~ . Chapel was more Jealous
and devoted to it's interests than he. Humil-
ity was also a distinguished trait in his char
aCter.
As Enoch walked with God, presumably
with deep humility, so Nicholas Baker walked
humhly with the infinite One. The really
great men of this world are those who are un-
assuming humble. Moses, the great states
man and lawgiver, it is said was very meek,
above all the men who were upon the lace OF
the earth" That is he was humble. The
subject of this sketch was man after this
pattern. His faith in God was of a superior
order. He not only accepted Gods promises
respecting the future life in their entirety,
but in every emergency which confronted
him, his faith in the Almighty was SO strong
and firm that he was enabled to accept the
issue of whatever character with equanimity
of mind and serenity of spirit

In Memoriam of Nicholas Baker.

Mr.. Nicholas Baker, of Carsins Run, depart
ed this life on Thursday, April I'd, in the S'th
year of his age.
The subject of this memoir was truly re-
mark able man in many respects. Notwlth-
standing the great age which he had attained,
he was vigorous in intellect and in body. His
religious life dates back to the year 1877,
when as a boy II years of age he gave his heart
to God and entered upon an honorable Chris
tiap career. Shortly after his conversion he
united with Bush Chapel, and continued IN
fellowship with the people OF God at TINS his,
toric Church until God removed his Immortal
spirit to dwell in the realm Of the truly biest.
1t is interesting in passing to note that the
individual church with which he connected
himself was commonly known as the Log
Meeting House." which structure was quit In
the year 1863, Just three years subsequent TO
| the introduction Of Methodsm in New Y ork
City This rude building was used as place
of worship for about seventy years, when 1t
gave way to stone structure which Ii still
standing, although no longer used for church
purposes The present editice, the third III
succession, was erected few years ago, ad-
| tacent to the site which was occupied by the
original meeting house.
Hence the death of our beloved brother has
removed another link from the chain of mem
bership which connects the original church
with the present.
For 68 years or thereabout, the deceased

JoPPA, April Sit seems that we are prone
to ask the question like the cOlored preacher
asked his congregation upon certain occa-
sion, s'Whar are we?'' Is this. February,
March or April. We have been eagerly and
anxiously waiting and watching for the mild
lamb-like beautiful month of April, with its
balmy days and pleasant evenings, and here
March puffs in some of its forgotten snow
storms that we think should have been allot-
ted to ground hog weather.
Outdoor work seems to be at u standstill,
although some are making attempts to pro
coed with the regular routine of spring prep
arations.
Patience, patience, hope whispers patience;
there has always been a seed-time and har-
vest, and this year will not be an exception.

again having some wintry weather, We are
doubly grateful to April for giving us balmy

orative of the new life, flowers in profusiOn
adorned the churches here. Among the most
conspicuous ones were Gala and Easter lilies.
Service was opened in the Grove Presby terrain
Church at II o'clock A. NJ. and much credit
is due the members of the choir who rendered
several appropriate anthems. The pastor,
Rev David Jamison took his remarks from
Acts Il, 32-34, giving an impressive descrip-
tion OF the manner In which the glorious Eas-
ter story was received from Paul by the peo-
pie of ancient Athens and pOrtraying fOrcibly
the feelings of that apostle when he was about
to depart from them, thinking his mission had
not been accomplished, when to his intense
satisfaction great astronomer Dionysius,
was converted with others among whom was
the good woman, Damaris.
