LIGHTWEIGHT TEAM WON.
Y. NJ. G. A. Defeats Lowell High
School in Brilliant Football
Match

One of the prettiest, most exciting and
closely watched football games of the sea-
son was the contest for charity at Central
Park yesterday afternoon, in which the
Y. NJ. c. A. coast champion lightweig ht
team was victorious over the boys of the
Lowell High School by score OF II to s.
Though outweighed and in the first half
apparently outclassed, the Y. NJ. c. A.
team rallied admirably Tor the second
half with the score to against it, and in
a series of deceptive and quickly executed
donbl passes gained repeatedly through
the high school center, through tackles,
and occasionally round the ends with fine
interference and kept this style Of play up
until the game ended with the light
weights again victorious, after three years
in which they have never once been
defeated, though always opposed to
superior weight.
The spectators, composed largely OF
hundreds of small boys from the grammar
schools, were wildly enthusiastic, and
when the tide turned in favor of the red
and gold and indicated that the contest
would be close, the grand stands be came
a turbulent, gesticulating, noisy throng,
reminding one of the continuous spriil
chipping of a great flock of bIackbirds
perched on high.
The features of the game were q 30
yard run, near the close OF the first half,
by Fuliback Hewson of the Y. NJ. c. A.
team, that brought the ball close to a
touchdown and made the spectators wild
with expectancy, though the high school
team succeeded in preventing furthe
gains; and IN the second half brilliant
40-yard run by Halfback Miller of \. M.
G. A, who, protected by excellent inter-
ference, carried the ball to within fe w
inches of the line, over which 1t was forced
on the next play for the touchdown that
seemed to give the light team renewed
energy for a second and winning touch
down. This Miller is a freshman at
Berkeley.
Following are the summaries:

TEsTIMoY FROM GOLDBUGs.

One day last week, in answer 10 the
question, would free coinage cause
a rise in prices of farm products -
Senator Sherman's reply was I'm
doubleday" He argued that the money
would not buy so much, but he did
not think the fact of producing rise
in the price of farm products was open
to doubt.
From the weekly circular letter that
+. b. Cuthbert & Co., bankers and
brokers, of New York, send out we
quote:
SHOULD Mr.. Bryan be elected we
will, in all probability, have what
might be practically termed an
imitation in values, which will of
itself create temporary period,
fictitious though it may be, of high
PRICES FOR EVERYTHING"
The people will vote for free coinage.
and they believe that the increase in
prices and wages will not only be tenn
porary but permanent. They know
that temporary increase, with the
expansion of business and increase of
manufactures which always follow an
increase in the circulation, will give
steady employment to the idle, better
wages to those already employed, and
better prices for the products of farm
and factory.
Senator Sherman is right. Cuthbert
& Co are right. If free coinage will
undoubtedly increase prices and
wages. the people viii prefer to risk
the matter of it's permanence than to
ontinue under the present system that
breeds disaster, falling prices, and
stagnation.

CROPS HURT BY THE FREsHsTs.
Mr.. Young Thinks Those on Catawba
River We're Not Hurt Much.

Mr. a. Il, Young, director of the
penitentiary. who was here yesterday
on his way to the Roanoke farms, says
that he observed a thing in Lincoln
county that was new to him. The
freshet on the Catawba was higher
than ever before except one time, and
after the waters had receded | could
see hardly u trace of damage left to
the crop. The waters completely sub
merged the corn, and it was not hurt
at all except where it had silked. There
it was completely ruined, but corn
that had not silked was not hurt at
all. There was next to no deposit OF
mud. and except some dampness the
other crop seemed as good as before. y
In regard to the damage by the
freshet on the Roanke farms Mr.
Young was not prepared to speak. He
said he had received a letter from
superintendent McIver saying that the
water had not yet receded.and he could
not therefore make any estimate of the
damage done Accompanied by his
daughter, Mr.. Young left yesterday for
a tour OF inspection Of the State farms.
Hon. \. Leazar. superintendent is still
too unwell to resume his work, but
hopes to he at his post again soon.

Will Coy McKinley's chances of

publican.
The Republican does not believe in
free coinage. but it believes in decenct
and fair treatment. We copy the above
paragraph to show that it is the or
gans of the gold standard that ''in-
flame class feeling and provoke a class
war. There isn't a squint toward
class feeling in the Chicago platform,
and lis nominees are men who have
deepest interest in the protection Of
the rights of property. But they are
men who believe that the rights of man
are as SACRED as the rights of money,
and who deny the authority of public
officials to farm out the virtual control
of the financial policy to a syndicate
of bondholders and gold spectators.
1t is the gold men who are working
up class prejudice. The Journal of
Commerce, which formerly advocated
free silver, speaks of the Ass Of ignor-
ance, reaction, cupidity and commun-
ISM whose ears of stupidity and
hoof of immortality are in plain
right''-in the silver plank. The FL
nancial Chronicle says it regards the
platform as IAN utter disregard of all
property rights. 1t means anarchists
operations legalized. In brief the men
who have been leaders in this move
ment represent anarchy and not law"
These papers do not believe such things
of the conservative men who composed
the convention, and if their passion has
worked them into such faith, their
readers will not be convinced by such
revolutionary utterances.
The opponents of silver are helping
to elect Bryan. The people are con-
WINGED that something is rotten when
a simple proposition to return to
methods that prevailed the first
seventy-fve years of the life of the
Republic throws the Wall street organs
into fits.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We hope every reader of this paper
will read and file away the National
Democratic platform printed on the
seventh page of this issue. 1t is the
shortest and most concise, as well as
most in harmony with the teachings
of jefferson, that the party has adopt
ed in a generation.
1t bristles with point and meaning.
1t grapples with living questions, and
speaks out upon them without obscure
ty or shadow of doubt. The old time
Democratic doctrines, which the war
and corporate control of government
have undermined, are restated with up
to date application with the positive
ness and clearness of jefferson and
the agressiyeness of Jackson. 1t is a
call to all patriots to rebuild the old
Democratic temple and to worship
with faces turned toward Monticello.

DEMOCRAT FOR BRYAN.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 18.-A sensa-
tion has been caused in political circles
by the announcement that E. c. Wall,
ex-chairm an of the Democratic State
committee, and a number of the Demo
Garlic National committee, will sup
port Bryan and Sewall, the nominees
of the Chicago convention. The an
nouncement is made by Mr.. Wall him
self. He said: believing that the dis
tress and dissatisfaction existing a.
mong the people of this country to-day
are due to the pernicious legislation of
the Republican party for thirty years
and believing that the supremacy of
the Republican party would ultimate
ly destroy a government by the people
in this land, prefer to appear incon-
sstent in one matter rather than to
do violence to my present principles.

that my views on the money question

by the recent Democratic National
convention, submit and / will support

Mr. Sewall now hobs up as the Demo-

can this be done without the most

THE FIGURES OF WEBSTER AND
BRYAN.

The New York Sun is criticizing Mr..
Bryan because in his great Chicago
speech he used phrases that he had
formerly used in his speeches in Ne
braska The Springfield Republican
is not disposed TO criticize the speech
in a petulant fashion. As a whole it
was a marvellous effort and it requir-
ed very unusual combination of pow
ers in the orator" The Republican
adds:
IF the origin of most of these
very striking figures of speech
could be studied out, we should
find that they were seldom the in
SEPARATION of moment. This point
is well illustrated in the case of
Daniel Webster's celebrated des-
cription of the worldwide power
of Britain, whose morning
drumbeat, following the sun and
keeping company with the hours,
circles the earth with the continu-
GUS and unbroken strain of the
martial airs of England" This
picturesque imagery, sonorously
ana B@dutiiuIlN expressed, form
ed part of one of his great Senate
speeches in 1894, and that was The
occasion which gave it the world
wide currency it has since obtain
ed
But Webster himself has stated
that he first conceived the passage
years before the Senate speech
while walking at sunrise one
morning on the ramparts of Que
bee. Although we have no record
of the fact it is not improbable
that he used the passage more
than once in minor addresses on
unimportant occasions and thus
polished it up to the extreme bril-
liancy it displays in the Senate ora
ton. At any rate, he once said
with reference to it: "Oh, never
pretended to be one of the inspir-
ed geniuses. / bring forth moth
ing without labor. If not precise
ly at the time, it has cost labor at
some time"

MAGUlRE FOR BRYAN.
viii Swing Massachusetts Into the
DEN ocyatic Column.

Boston, Mass, July 16.-(Specisl to
Atlanta Constitution 1.-The Massa-
chusetts Democratic gold machine has
capitulated, and all will be smoothly
sailing for silver in the Bay State.
That is, as far as the Democratic rank
and file is concerned. Boilers will
grow scarcer every day.
Hon. p. Mcguire, head of the Demo
cratic State machine, announced him
self to-day as a supporter of Bryan
and silver. He went to Chicago as a
gold delegate, and he came home a
bolter of the first water. After de-
termined resistance, ever since the con-
yeltion; after starting bolt, which
seriously threatened the unity of the
party in Massachusetts, and after re-
fusing every day repeated demands to
declare himself for silver, he has taken
this step.
For a quarter of century Pat Ma
guire has ruled the machine in Massa-
chusetts, and for a quarter of n cen
fury none has dared to oppose him.
What he says goes, and when he says
silver, Massachusetts says silver.
at has been stated he said to-day,
that the State Democracy, collective
ly and individually, is not in favor of
the silver plank, or the silver candi-
date for the presidency. These gen.
tlemen, who are so quick to criticise
the State Democracy, should not for
get that first and foremost, right or
wrong, we are Democrats.
You have asked me a question, and
| propose to answer it frankly and
honestly. / am a Democrat, have al
ways been one, and, right or wrong, L
support my party and its candidates.
I viii do everything in my power, in
both private capacity as a citizen and
as an humble follower Of the great
Democratic party, to support and
elect the ticket of our convention. l
am with Bryan and Sewall, and the
newspaper which l own will from now
until next November work in the in
terests of our candidates."
