REPLY FROM CHAIRMAN JOINER.
The folh wing reply from Chairman Joy
ner to Mr.. Tucker, appeared in the Lynch
burg News:
AMHERST, VA, July %, 1885,
Editor of the News:
The card of the Hon. Fl. st. Geo. Tucker
published in your valuable paper this morn
ing, is calculated to mislead the public. and
perhaps do injustice to other candidates fol
congress in this district. The delegates were
never instructed for Mr.. Tucker at all. If
he will read the instructions that were passed
almost unanimously by the mass meeting he
will readily see that the delegates could not
vote for him at any time without violating
positive instructions. Mr.. ThOs. Whitehead
Jr., did move that the delegates be instructed
for the Hon. H. ID. Flood for second choice
should Judge billiard be dropped, and the
motion was adopted by large majority; but
as the motion was not put by the Chair, re-
garded it as irregular and did not certify il
as part of the proceedings.
The above are the facts in the case. and I
hope will not again ecalled upon to appear
| In the public press in regard to this matter.
Very truly yours,
d. e. JOINER,
Chairman Democratic Mass Meeting of Am
herst county, Va.
ELECTION OF DELEGATES IN NELSON
ANOTHER WITHDRAWAL OF TUCKER
MEN.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch writes from Nelson e. H. that at
the meeting last Monday to elect delegates
to the Amherst convention, the opponents
of Tucker elected John Horseley chairman
by two to one over Edward Coleman put
up by the friends of Tucker.
The meeting adopted resolutions endors-
ing the nominees and platform of the Chi
cago convention. and Thos. p. Fitzpatrick
of Nelsop for the congressional nomination,
and then adopted these resolutions
$50. If at ANY time the name of the Hon. Thos.
z. Fitzpatrick should not be before said con-
yention, the delegates from this county are
instructed to vote for no one who was not in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
prior to the meeting of the Virginia Demo-
cratic convention at,Staunton, on June 4th.
81. The delegates and Mathematics from Nelson
to the Amherst convention are instructed to
cast the whole vote of the county; the chair
man of the delegation to cast the whole vote
Of the county as unit upon all questions as
to platform and candidates. when requested
so to do by majority of the delegation.
During the reading of the fourth resolu-
ton, Mr.. Robert w. Massie, the leader OF
the Tucker force asked Mr.. Whitehead if
the resolution contained the unit rule.
Mr.. Whitehead replied that it did.
Whereupon Mr.. Massie and about fifty of
Mr.. fuckers supporters withdrew from |
the meeting, and the resolutions were
adopted by an overwhelming majority. The
20 delegates to the Amherst convention
were then elected without opposition.
After the meeting adjourned Senator Flood
madea speech of thanks to the people for
the compliment they had paid him.

The New One-DoIIar Silver Certificates.

The New One-DoIIar Silver Certificates.

tifcates were issued from the Treasury
Department in Washington on Thursday,
and Maj. j. W. Newton who happened to
be in Washington got one and brought it
to Staunton with him on Friday and exhib-
tied it to many of his friends.
The note is one of the most ornamental
ever issued by the United States. On The
face is impersonated History instructing

bird's eye view of the city of Washington
from Arlington Heights. The Potomac
river is in the foreground, while in the
distance appear the city, the capitol, and
the new Congressional Library Building
showing in bold relief. On the right of the
design is an open book, upon the pages OF
which are clearly printed the opening claus

Around three sides of the notes face
runs chain of wreaths, each encircline

For Silver.

Mr.. e. G.. Berry. prominent Staunton
merchant, who has just returned from
two months visit to relatives in Western
Pennsylvania. says that the silver ''craze"
is there in full force. both in the cities and
in the country. He says the Southern peo-
pie are very much mistaken if they think
the North hasn't got the fever, and that
Western Pennsylvania is "wild over silver"
among both Republican and Democrats.
Mr.. Berry went to Pennsylvania gold
Democrat and thought he would find all
Pennsylvania the same way, but he says he
had his eyes opened when he got there.
Mr.. I. G. Morton who has just returned
from six weeks business canvass OF Bot
etourt county, says that be did not see a
single man in that county, Democrat or
Republican, that was not for silver. There
might have been, and doubtless were. some
gold men, but they were so scarce that in
six weeks canvass he did not meet one.
Mr.. e. Hageman was here from Phila-
delphia last week. City Treasurer Hoge
said to him: Well, I suppose everybody is
for gold in Philadelphia P" "Not by good
deal, :" replied Mr.. Hageman.
Mr.. Samuel Shultz who returned Friday
from the Masonic trip to Highland says,
Everybody out there is for silver
A prominent Staunton lawyer, gold
standard Democrat, said this week that the
irresistible and rapid spread of silver re-
minded him of the war fever in 1860.
Mr.. Giles Dever, postmaster of Harri-
sonburg, was in Staunton court day. He
says the free silver feeling is spreading
among the Rockingham county Republi.
cans, and that when they come to poll the
Republican vote it will be found like the
Funder Democratic vote there was in 1881
melted away.
Monday was court day in Staunton, and
the town belonged to the silverites-at any
rate the court green did. A county gold

What Chain Gang does for a Town.

The Irvington, Va, Citizen speaking OF
what chain gang can do for town, says
''We are trying it and find it very benef.
cial. 1t helps largely to keep down lawless.
ness among the class that have nothing out
of which fines can be made. and they are
generally speaking, the lawless class. Many
of the offenders who owed fines are coming
up and paying them because they are afraid
of the chain gang.''

After meals you should have simply feel

not feel any special indications that digestion
is going on. Ii you do you have Indigestion,
which means not-digestion. This may be the

which causes pain and sickness. And that
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial
does this by providing the digestive materials
