Colonel Dan W. Jones and Hon.
H. l.. Remmel are having joint
debate over the state as two oppos-
ing candidates representing the
two great and only parties. ltDan
Jones is as clever to Remmel as was
Clark, he will give him some good
fat appointment after he wipes up
the sod with his remains. Remmel
doubtless reasoned that should
Jones beat him, he will take pity on
him and appoint him to place, and
should the Republicans elect Nc
Kinley they will give him place for
the canvass he has made, Remmel
is bully boy, and no one knows it
better than Remmel,

If this is the case there will be a big

which candidate will get the most

as MANY as Cass or Bowie, and
should Cass and Bowie form a com
binatlon the other two counties will
not be in it, unless the two counties
pick up one of the candidates from

ALLEN MADE CHAIRMAN.
After Nominating Bryan, Southern
Man is to be Made His Running
Mate-Talk of Gibbs, OF
Texas.

The convention was again called
to order yesterday afternoon at
$3.50. The credential committee
made its report and recommended
that the delegations contesting for
seats from Illinois both be seated
and each given half vote
carried. In the Colorado contest,
the Pattison delegates were given
seats. The minority report was
presented and Darrow, of Chicago,
and Jerry Simpson made a talk in
favor of Its passage. The vote was
taken and the majority reported
adopted.
The committee on permanent or
ganization reported in favor of
William B. Allen, of Nebraska, as
permanent chairman. The minori-
ty recommending Jas. E. Cham
piou, of Maine, for the position.
The delegations from Missouri, Ark,
ansas, Alabama, Michigan, Arizona,
Georgia, Texas and Mississippi, Car
ried their banners over to the seats
occupied by the Arizona delegation.
The vote was taken by the roll
call of states and at the end, it was
found that Allen, of Nebraska, was
elected chairman. He was escorted
to the stage, and Cyclone Davis, of
Texas, introduced him.
This was considered a victory for
the friends of William ]. Bryan and
they went wild with delight.
When Texas was reached in max
ing up committee to confer with
silver delegates it refused TO do so.
The minority report on nOmina-
tions, read, that the vice-president
be nominated first, and that he be
a southern man.
Ignatius Donnelly in speaking
said, that he expected to see very
little left of the peoples party, ex-
cept national committeeman, after
this convention. Donnelly protest
ed against the nominee, who ever
he may be, selecting the nationa
chairman.
Judge Green, of Nebraska, in re
plying to Donnelly said his mission
to the convention was to save the
life of the populist party,
Howard, of Alabama, in an ad-
dress said the convention should Sc
lect the national chairman and not
the nominee.
Gerry Brown author of minority
report speaks for its passage.
Joe Abbott, of Nebraska, speaks
for majority report. He wants
president nominated first
Cyclone Davis, addressing the
convention asks: "Will this con-
vention substitute vice-president

Since W. ]. Bryan has been noml
mated, there are many wise mel
who have stood up and claimed
that they were the ouly and orlgl-
nal blown in the bottle Bryan men
who first suggest his name as the
proper one for first place on the
ticket. Our state has half dOzer
of these living seers walking around
but none of them makes out as
plain a case as the editor of the
Citizen News, published at Noun
tain Home. Here is how the
modest editor lays his claim for the
honor;
Nearly three years ago the
North Arkansas News, over which
the writer then presided, hoisted
the name of w. J. Bryan for Presi-
dent, believing that he was the en-
bodiment of true Democracy, and
that in him the people could secure
a leader who would lead them out
of slavery to the shylOcks, and re-
store to them again their personal
and political liberties. 1t is, there
fore, with no small degree of pleas
ure that we put up the name of W.
J. Bryan as the regular nominee of
the Democratic party for the Pres
idency and the friend and candidate
of the American people
The new Mrs. Caudle (Hanna)
should give her spouse Mckinley
chance to get in word edge

Rain has been restored over in
Tennessee, and the farmers are as
happy as they will be when the re-
storation of silver follows.
The silver mems convention at st,
Louis is composed of about 700 del
egates, from every part of the
Union. St. John makes it a model
chairman. 1t will endorse Bryan
and Sewall, on a platform of one
plank, and that red bot silver one.
AS regards former party affiliation
the delegates stand as follows: Re.
publicans 526, Democrats 1876, Pop
ulists Al, Prohibltionists 9, Indepen
dents IA. There can be no doubt OF
the influence to be welded in the
national election by the silver party.

MONEY AND THE CREDITOR CLASS.
When the Measure of Value Varies. the
Laborer Gets the Worst of 1t.


When the Measure of Value Varies. the
Laborer Gets the Worst OF 1t.
Probably no question that has ever
been made a political issue appeals more
strongly to our selfishness than the mon
ey question The value of all the prop
erty we possess is expressed in the terms
of money, and not our property only but
our labor.
A horse, q cow, corner lot, q share
Of stock, bond or note are all meas
ured as to their transferable value by
money. They are worth so much. So
Of our labor. whether in the professions,
the skillful trades or in more manual
employments. We are worth so much
an hour or q day or week by the serv-
ices we are able to render, and we are
paid accordingly. The result is, If we
are not fools, that we want the best
money that circulates in exchange for
our services or our property, and the less
our income the more we want the best.
The contention, therefore, seems un-
answerable that government or COM
munity should establish the highest
standard of money whereby to measure
those exchanges Of labor and property
which constitute the business of the
world. If this is not done, and the meas
ure of value becomes variable, who suf-
fers? The men who have large resources
behind them or the men who have moth
ing but their hands and brains? Most
assuredly the latter. A well known
banker of this town has often been heard
to say that the money standard did not
and could not affect him, for he could
make money whether we were ON gold
or silver basis. So he could, and so can
any capitalist. 1t is the man who de-
pends upon his labor that would suffer
by deprecated currency.
It is the creditor class of the COM
munity, therefore, which is most inter-
ested in preserving the stability Of the
currency and its high value. But OF
whom is the creditor class composed?
Manifestly Of those to whom something
is due from day to day, from week to
week and from month to month. These
are the laboring people, the men at the
desk, at the counter, at the forge, at
the bench and at the plow. The toiler
who patiently wields the shovel and
the pick when nightfall comes is cred
itor, and he is entitled to be paid for
his days labor in the best money the
country affords. And so throughout the
whole round of employment where men
and women receive wages.
Is it not, then, inexplicable that a
large proportion Of those who in the
sweat of their face earn their daily
bread, laying by perhaps trifle from
week to week toward rainy day, de-
posting it in savings bank-that
these should be led away by the cry for
cheap money? What do they want with
cheap money, or ''poor mans" money?
If there is any difference, why should
they not have rich mems money?-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.

Stop bothering your head about the

1t is fiat dishonesty. 1t is pregnant
with trouble for every man, laborer or
capitalist, who lives by industry, and

The Grand Army Of Creditors.

The gentlemen who think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing 80 cent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state of the
Union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent to defraud and cheat
themselves
Among these creditors are
All persons who work for wages, sal
ary or by the piece.
All members of building and loan
associations.
All depositors in savings, national,
state Or private banks.
All holders of life, fire and accident
insurance policies.
All members of benevolent and fra
ternal insurance orders.
All holders of industrial insurance.
All widows, orphans or wards de-
pendent wholly or partially upon the
income from investments.
All educational and charitable insti-
tutions dependent wholly or in part up
on the income of their endowments.
In fact, the 80 cent silver dollar
would be of advantage to few persons
in the long run save the speculators,
who would gamble on the inevitable
fluctuations in its purchasing power and
in the price of commodities. s.-Exchange

THE slLvERlTE CATECHISM.
In Which Free Coinage Theories Are
Plainly Stated.


Plainly Stated.
What is money? Something made out
of nothing by government
Is there any limit to the amount of
money which government can make?
Only the capacity of the printing presses
of the country.
What kind of money is the best?
That Which has the least value.
What does "cheap money" mean?
Money that will buy very little wealth.
Why are some people poor? Because
the money they get in exchange for
their products or their labor will buy a
large amount of goods.
How can the poor all be made rich?
BY stamping 80 cents worth of silver
lone dollar" and thus decreasing the
purchasing power of money.
What is a capitalist? A wicked sinner
who has worked hard and saved up a
little property.
What is patriot? A man who covets
his neighbor's property and wants to
get hold of it by law.
What does "repudiation" mean? 1t is
simple scheme for readjusting the in
equalities between the men who worked
and the men who have not.
What is the golden rule of the silver
ties? Do others as they would not do
you.
What are we to understand by "hon-
esty" and ''good faith between men?"
That creditors are to be cheated out of
one-half of their property whenever the
debtors control congress.
Why not benefit debtors still more by
repudiating all the claims of creditors?
That will come later. The public must
be educated into silverism by degrees.
What is creditor? A fiend in human
shape who loaned 100 cent dollars and
doesn't want to be paid in dollars worth
80 cents.
How will free silver help the farm
ers? BY causing the withdrawal of all
loans, paralysis of industry, stagnation
of commerce and idleness of millions Of
workers who now buy farm products.
How will the 16 to 1 scheme benefit
the working classes? By making them
pay twice as much for everything they
buy, while giving them little or no in
crease in wages. 1t will also confiscate
half Of their savings bank deposits.
What is silver mine owner? A good,
kind, unselfish citizen, who doesn't
want higher prices of silver so that he
will get rich, but simply because he
loves his fellow man.
Does his love for the workers lead
him to pay more than market rates for
his labor? Not much. Business and
sentiment are two different things. Be-
sides he doesn't have to.
What is sound currency? Dollars
with so cents worth of silver and 80
cents worth of fiat or paper dollars all
fiat.
What is the chief duty of good citi-
zen? To hate everybody who is indus
trious and thrifty, and to meekly swal-
low all the nostrums Of the cheap money
Office seekers
How can the people be made prosper
Gus? BY setting class against class; dis
couraging the investment of capital;
contracting the currency by running en-
ployers. driving out gold and over
throwing our sound financial system

Silverite Campaign Cries.

The platform adopted by the silverite
wing which controlled the Democratic
national convention contains abundant
material for stirring campaign notices
"Free Silver Initiation, ""Debt Repudi-
ation," Property Confiscation" and
Commercial Stagnation" are brief and
truthful statements of the aims of the
cheap money Democrats and the certain
results which would follow their success
in November. Shouting these cheerful
strains, the silverites can march to the
certain defeat which awaits all move
ments based ON sectionalism, greed, ap-
peals to prejudice and hatred of property
rights.
