In accepting the nomination Of
the Silver party, VIM. Jennings
Bryan said, at Lincoln, Nebraska,
last week -
81 know something of the strength
of party ties, and because l was in
position where l looked forward
to a possibility of like action of
my own part, l can appreciate the
depths of a conviction that led
them to place the interests of their
country above the welfare of their
party. More than a year ago, when
we were engaged in struggle to
bring the Democratic party to an
Endorsement of free coinage, the
question was put to me whether, in
the case of failure, would support
the Democratic nominee if he were
a gold advocate, running
upon a gold-standard platform. l
never believed that such action was
probable in the Democratic party
then, but when those who question
ed me were not content with prOba-
bilities and asked again whether,
in that event, would support the
nominee, l said, as you will remem-
Der, that under no circum stances
would my vote be given to a man
who would, in the executive office
use his influence to fasten the gold
standard upon the American PEG.
pie.
r
"The Republicans can not be
criticised for leaving the Republi.
can party. They have done what
every American citizen has a right
to do. They have done better than
our Democratic advocates of the
gold standard have done, because
the Republicans when they left the
party, Joined with those who had q
chance to succeed, while our Demo.
cratic advocates of the gold stand
ard sought to secure the election OF
Republican candidates by nominal
ing Democratic candidate"
That knocks out completely tn,
Popocratic cry of "Boltocrats."
Bryan admitted that he voted
for Weaver for President; that ht
was not Democrat. Now he con
fesses that he wouldn't have voted
for the nominees of the Chicago
convention if they had been named
on gold-standard platform. The
1892 platform was really gold
standard one. Everybody of in
telligence knows it; only tricky
quibblers attempt to deny it. Be
ing self-confessed bolter, not ;
Democrat on his own confession
Bryan has no claim whatever or
the vote of a real Democrat, anC
nobody knows it better than Bryan
himself.

Wanted "a Fool Killer. "

Though this is not precisely the
language used it does exactly express
the sentiment of the Port Jervis pa
pers in describing the manner in
which: an oily tongued fakir took
about 5000 out of the people Of that
place last Saturday night. " Elec-
trio Bill % made no promises, but he
gave away belts and the people gave
him money expecting that he would
soon begin giving away 81 for 81 but
he did The belts were actually
worth 5 cents apiece, and the Port
Jervis crowd tore each others
clothes in their frantic efforts to
pay 81 for them and when that
could not be done actually gave the
dollar to the man for no considera-
ton whatever. We begin to under
stand why Pike county bear, snake
and fish stories are so popular in our
neighboring village.

Quay VIM vlsIt mckinley.

1t is currently reported that Sena-
tor Quay will go to Canton, Ohio to
call on Mckinley. It is given out
that the object of the journey is TO
talk over the financial question, bu {
mgny think it more probable tl1sgt
the chief topic of conversation viii be
the Vice Presidency and incidental
ly an attempt to smooth over some
of Mr.. Thomas G. Platts recent re-
markable declarations. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Quay sees before him the
inevitable nomination of Mckinley
at st. Louis and that he does not
wish to antagonize that gentleman,
and would like also to have a say in
naming the man for the second
place. It is limited that Governor
Hastings may be put up for that
position on the ticket. Some guess
also that as Pennsylvania comes
quite far down on the list of States,
and as Mckinley may not need
many votes when she is reached, it
is Quays intention at that juncture
to suddenly with draw his name
and throw the whole delegation to
the Ohio man and so bear off the
honor of making him the no minee
before the following States can vote.
This would be a shrewd move and
if the other aspirants do not forestall
the movement may be successful.
The straight way would be to nomi-
nate McKinley by acclamation.

From many sections of the coun-
try reports come of serious forest
fires having swept over large tracts
of land. In this county while the
actual state of the situation has been
exaggerated, yet great damage has
been done. Not only has the fire
passed over lands which are periodi-
cally burned, and where little or
or no timber is left to be destroyed,
but is several instances it has been
set in woods whore the fire has not
been for many years, and where
there is a heavy growth of timber.
Owing to the excessive drouth it
burned rapidly and deeply in the
soil and the standing timber is
killed. That it did not originate in
mere carelessness is abundantly es-
tablished, and in some cases it is
said the parties starting the fires are
known, If this is true they should
be promptly appre hended and the
full punishment meted out.
The County Commissioners are
authorized to pay a reward of $50 to
the informers, on conviction of the
offenders, and we hope if any per-
sons have knowledge of facts which
would secure a conviction they will
not hesitate to inform.

The School Term Cut Short.

Mr.. and Mrs. S. Albert johnson,
teachers of the Grammar and Prim-
airy departments respectively in the
Milford graded school, rendered their
designations to the board last Tues
day evening which were accepted to
take effect Immediately. The rea-
son for this action is that Mr.. John
son has been rendered and accepted
a situation in the Reform school at
Morganza, in Washington county,
Pa, at a much better salary then
he has been receiving here, and in
order to secure the position it was
incumbent that he should proceed at
once to his new field of labor.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson have sue
cessfully taught our schools for the
past six years and during that time
gained many warm friends not only
among the children, but also the
parents, who will learn of their
good fortune with joy mingled with
keen regret at the loss of two who
have been so efficient in the educa-
tional interests of our town and also
active participants in church work.
Our best wishes go with them to
their new home.

Death ofa Young Man at Matamoras.
Peter Wollscheidt, jr., son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Wollscheidt, of
Matamoras, died at the Port Jervis
hospital at nine o'clock Wednesday
morning of intestinal obstruction.
He was taken i'll last Friday with
colicky pains but was apparently
improving when at about 5 o'clock
Tuesday night Dr. Skinner, the at
tending physician, found him in a
condition of collapse due to intesti-
nal obstruction. An operation was
decided upon and he was removed
to the hospital for that purpose but
did not gain sufficient strength to
endure an operation. The young
man suffered indescribable agonies
throughout the night and death was
a merciful relief.
His sad death coming upon the
verv threshold of manhood and with
the prospects of happy life before
him seems deplorable.
He is survived by his parents, one
brother and two sisters.-Union.

What May BE Expected.

If there is any truth in the idea
that eating fish strengthens the
brains, Pike and the surrounding
country should develop race of in
tellectual giants. The " Oldest "
does not remember the time when
so many shad have been taken from
the river as this year. There is a
surfeit of them. Fishermen are tired
of catching them, and only fish for
the fun of it, and quit when they
have all one horse can draw away.

THEIR RELATION SEVERED

cello Resigned,

The Isport Of the Uomnnttee OF the Pres
bytery Favorable to Him-His Com
pensation to be left to the Trustees of
the Church.
MoNTICELLo, May 18.- The con-
gregational meeting in the Presby-
terian church convened at 2 p. m. to
day and was opened with prayer by
Rev. Thos. Nichols of Milford, the
Moderator appointed by the COM
mission. There being no regular
clerk of the congregation, Mr.. Peter
+. Palen was chosen as such. After
reading the notice drawn up by the
members of the commission calling
this meeting, Mr.. Nichols read the
report of the commission. On their
findings the Boards OF Elders and
Trustees were censured for having
erred from the prescribed course of
the church in the original arrange
ment made with Mr. McGowan in
1888, Che has never been regularly
installed but hired from year to Year,
and for having exceeded their au-
thority in the several subsequent
agreements made from year to year.
Their action was taken without hav-
ing consulted the will of the congre-
cation. In the words Of the instru-
ment the Trustees were greatly CEN
sured for having failed to open the
church for services on two different
occasions, one of which was COM
munion Sunday. Another article
of the report stated that in the
course of the investigation the COM
mission had found nothing against
Rev. James A. MCGOWAN, but that
his actions were commendable and
of friendly disposition.
When the report had been read
the Moderator stated the two ques-
tions to be laid before the meeting.
First, what should be the future re.
lations between the church and Their
acting pastor? Second, what, il
any should be the remuneration fol-
Mr.. McGowan' s services from June
1st to April list? The law governing
the voters at such meetings was
read. Mr.. Nichols then read a com.
munication from Mr.. McGowan, re.
questing the relations to the church
as stated supply should now cease
A motion for the acceptance of the
resignation was unanimously car
ried. When the further question
of salary was placed before the
meeting, w. L. Thornton moved
that it be left to the trustees for
settlement. Mr.. j. F, Tymeson of.
fered as an amendment, that the
question be left to the congregation
At voting the amendment was lost
and afterwards the original motion
was carried by So to 26. Several
votes were challenged, but the gener.
al result could not be changed. Mr.
McGowan, we understand has cal
to Pine Plains, Dutchess county
N. Y, where he has preached fol
the past two Sundays. The com
missioners' report together with tho
proceedings at to-day's meeting vii
be offered at the special session o.
the Presbytery to be held in Otis
vile May 10. The board of elderI
through Mr.. Nichols, will petition
Presbytery to allow them to supply
the pulpit May 81 and June 2, aftel
which time they ask supplies to b.
sent here.-Port Jervis Union,
