the losses from the detection of sound
money democrats, and toward swelling
the accesslons OF Tree silver republicans
While it has not yet been contaminated
in Georgia and Texas, those states are
anything but certain for honest money.
In brief, fusion has made it necessary
that there shall be enormous democratic
defections from the free silver ticket if
Mr.. Mckinley is to have even a resi- ect-
able majority OF the electoral votes. For
even il he gets every state east of the
Mississippi and North of the Ohio and
the Potomac, which includes Delaware
and Maryland, and gets West Virginia
also. he still needs two votes to make the
necessary majority.
Voters whom Mr.. Bryan's free silver
repels and whom Mr.. Mckinley does not
attract are thinking of the insolent ag-
gressions of the law defying, law-prevert :
ing, corrupt trusts and monopolies. They
wish to know what Mckinley thinks and
feels about that subject. Mr.. Bryan has
spoken. We gladly give him credit for
it. But in his seventy speeches Mr.. Nc
kinley has not said word to indicate
that he even knows of the existence Of
the trust evil. To speak means to win
the support of this multitude Of voters,
who take his silence as danger signal
He must not remain silent. lie must
not put in jeopardy the overthrow of
free silver.
Is not this common sense?
What do you think about the trusts?
Speak out, Mr.. Mckinley!

When suffering from an attack Of ner-

Jewels should not be wiped after being
washed, except with soft brush. Rinse
them from the alcohol, or soap and
water, and put them face downward in
lockwood dust to dry.
When obliged to take offensive inedi-

IRELAND ILL.
The Ex-Governor is Seriously Sick ut
Santonc-A Serious Street Fight.

San Antonio, Tex. March 2.-(Spec-
ial. Governor John Ireland was
taken suddenly ill at his apartments at
the Maverick hotel in this city at an
early hour this morning. and is in Il
very serious condition. His family have
been telcgraphed for, and the worst is
feared.
The street encounter between Repre-
sentative X. +. Beard and Il. d. Thomas
occurred Saturday afternoon and has
caused considerable comment. The
stories of the fight, as usual, do not
agree-some asserting that Mr.. Thomas
was armed and others that he was not.
He was shot through the lobe of the ear,
and had one of his eyes badly bruised,
while Mr.. Blair was very severely han.
died, receiving two black eyes and n
bruise on his nose. The difficulty was
the presentation by Thomas of bill to
Blair. and he claims that Blair ordered
him from his office at the point of n
pistol. Later in the evening the men
met on Commerce street. when the quar-
rel was renewed with the before stated
result. Mr.. Thomas formerly resided
in Austin. where he is wel-known; while
Mr.. Blair was a member of the last
legislature from this county.

Dear Sir-Eor several months / have
been intending to write you in regard
TO your Hciskclls Soap. i use it eX-

IIrST AS ENpEGrED.

Hampstead, Feb. 29.-(Special.)-Thc
Republican convention of this, the First,
congressional district commenced i'll Il
row and ended in confusion, as was eX-
pectcd. Quincy and other leaders were
on hand to egg on the battle and riot
was imminent several times.
The proceedings were characterized by
many disgraceful scenes, each side accus-
ing the other of being ut fault. The
regular chairman, Atkinson, was brushed
aside by Richards, Love and others as
soon as he raped for order. The Reed
and Mckinley combination forced
White to the stand and proclaimed him
chairman. Officers were sent for, but
they declined to interfere, 50 each faction
got down to business on its own hook,
with two sets of officers.
The Reed Mckinley faction had A. g.
Tompkins as chairman, while Atkinson
acted for the regulars.
The Atkinson convention nominated
Bailey Sparks of Houston and j. Nj. Cod
we'll of Navasota as delegates to the Ma
tional convention and indorsed Quincy as
delegate at large. Quincy, who is fol-
Allison. was given an ovation.
The Reed Mckinley boilers, with y. c
Tompkins chairman. nominated as Ma
tional delegates Dan Taylor of Nava
sofa and III. Lawson of Montgomery
They will support Crawford as delegate
at large.
1t was a great Allison victory and was
won by Quincy.

cause, but some one must begin to speak
out. We shall, perhaps, have no meeting

true, who has record, and 1t Is clear.
In the last campaign he was the one
Democratic candidate for n State Office
that stood squarely upon the State plat
form. In the State official family he
stands alone against reputation and fiat
ism. He has, / doubt not, been marked
for slaughter. He bears the initials of
the immortal old hero Andrew Jackson.
For his truth, for his courage, and for
the enemies he has made, | want, per-
sonally, to suggest the name of Hon. A.
j. Baker as our candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor. Let our
people speak out about this matter and
at once. As before stated, not in my
official capacity, but simply personally,
/ make the suggestion.
RUFUS HARDY.
With reference TO the above il is safe
to say that this section of the State will
support Colonel Baker for the position if
he should see fit TO submit his name for
consideration in this convention.
