A CORRECTION.

To the Editor: / clipped the follow
ing from your paper of September
18th, from the reading of which it
might convey the idea that was SEQ
operating i'm a Republican convention:
"The Democratic convention of the
Twenty-eighth Senatorial district con-
vened at Pilot Mountain to-day. Geo.
w. Sparger was made permanent chair
man, John A. Stone and p. B. Abbott
secretaries. James A. Leak, of Stokes,
was nominated for the Senate. There
was a large crowd present.
1.-THE Republican convention held at
Pilot Mountain to-day nominated Jesse
A. Ashburn, of Surry, for the Senate.
w. w. King, of Stokes, addressed the
convention in an enthusiastic speech"
The facts are that both conventions
were held the same day and in the same
warehouse. The Republican squad of
four got together about 10 o'clock and
nominate their Ashburn. The Demo
cratic convention in which / made the
speech met at 1 o'clock p. M. / was
at the convention for the purpose of
preventing my nomination for the Sem
ate. The Stokes county Democratic
convention on the goth of August
unanimously endorsed me for the SEN
ate (2Sth district, Stokes and Surry)
against my inclination, but occur
rences since preyeted me from ac-
cepting the nomination. Under the
rule of rotation it was the time for
Stokes to name the candidate and [
feel gratified to know that was also
the choice of Surry if would have
consented to run. / hope you will do
me the justice to publish this as | do
not want to appear as serving Mark
Hanna, nor obeying the orders of Abe
Middleton, the negro Republican State
committeeman, to vote the British
mixture"
Yours truly,

A correspondent presents the Wash
ington Post the following proposition,
which we find of interest, and which,
in some respects, is novel:
Sin the leading issue of each, are our
two great political parties so far apart
as they seem?
''The Democrats stand for free silver
and low tariff. The Republicans rep
resent protection and gold.
Free silver for the United States
under present conditions means pro-
lection, stimulus to home industries,
decrease in importations, flow of gold
to this country.
protection, because of the difference
in exchange between this and gold
countries, must be added to the cost OF
the article imported.
stimulus to home industries and
consequent decrease in importations,
because articles heretofore imported
can be manufactured cheaper at home
than they can be brought in from
abroad.
FLOW of gold to this country, be-
cause expectations will not decrease,
while importations will, turning the
flow of gold to, instead of from, us.
practical proof of the above: Mex
leo.
"a high tariff would accomplish a.
bout the same, but with many evns.
IF the gold party comes in, the pre-
sent situation will remain unchanged
until high tariff bin is passed, if ii
can be.
"If the silver party comes in, silver
dollars and certificates will drop to
bullion value. The bullion value OF
silver will probably rise is to 20 per
cent.
1.-THE purchasing power of the silver
dollar in this country will remain prac-
tically the same, minus the cost of pro
lection
''The purchasing power of the gold
dollar will increase, minus the cost of
protection, in the neighborhood of 20
or rs per cent.
''The great masses of our people will
not feel the change, except in the fol-
lowing great Stimulus to trade and man
ufacture, with their attendant bless
ings, and the cost of protection. They
have not to do with gold. They rarely
see it, more rarely possess it, and as a
medium of everyday exchange it is
unknown TO them.
'eThe change will be felt by the mon
eyed men of the land. They own the
gold and will reap the gain of it's APP
probation.
"Bimetallism for the United States
means, eventually, bimetallism for the
world. And the time will not be long.
In the mean time our country is
safe. She has preponderating ma
jority of sturdy and honest sons who

THE FIsHERMAN's SONG.

Fish, fish, fish

The ducks that have flown away!
o sad for the Palmer old,
That he faints meath the silvery sky;

AS he strings the beads on the rye!
And the Bryan ships sail in
To the haven under the hill;
But O for the gold that will fail to win,
And the shout for Bryan that's

But the flap of the wings of the ducks
that are gone
