The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1896-10-10

We are panied to learn through
the columns of the daily kress a few
days ago of the sudden death oil
Wiley P. Maneham, editor of the
Richland Beacon-News, who died
suddenly on last Saturday of pneu-
monia, contracted during his recent
visit with the press association TO
Colorado. Mr. Mangham joined
the excursion with the hope that
the trip would be beneficial to his
already impaired health, but the
sudden change to SO high an alti-
tude, together with the d~isagreeable
weather experienced the latter days
Of the stay in Colorado, was too
much for the endurance Of his frail
constitution. Mr.. Vaughan had
been actively enga ged in newspaper
work since 1865, occupying a fore
most position among the journalists
of the State. His death will be
keenly felt by the press throughout
Louisiana, bat by none with greater
regret than those who we're bis CON-
panions on the Colorado excursion.

In the meantime the fire was making
rapid Roadway. Assistance was
asked from the neighboring towns
and New Iberia aud Franklin re-
sponded, by each sending a steam
engine to the scene. By the time
the water works and engines were
ready for effective work, the FIRE had
spread to Main street, in The princi.

es all the buildings embraced in the
two squares extending from Worm
ser Bros. store down to Mrs. Fro-
ment's millinery store, not including
these, on the Ewest side of Main
street. and all the bulldogs on the
east side of the street,for one square
down to McGowen's new brick
buildings, which served to check
the progress of the flames in that
direction. The number of buildings
destroyed is placed at forty-nine, all
frame structures, the principal among
these being the McGowen drug,
hardware and general merchandise
stores, the two story opera house, be-
longing to Mrs. q. Froment; the
Whitworth furniture store; the
Hays building the Fourmy buildings

greatest loss was the magnificent

yards of the Jeanerette Lumber Go.
Among the residences destt oyed
was that of Mr.. j. E. Bourg, entail

MIR. CIcveland's Threatened Advice.
Washington, Aug. 22.-There is excel
lent authority for saying that President
Cleveland will write letter to friend at
the indianapolis gold standard national
convention, opposing the Endorsement of
Mckinley on account of his protectionist
views and favoring the nomination of a
Democrat, who believes not only in the
maintenance of the gold standard, but
also in tariff for revenue only. 1t is
said, however, that he may include sug-
gestion that it may be advisable later to
withdraw the third ticket, if it shall ap-
pear that the gold standard cause will
thereby be jeopardized.
Indianapolis, Aug. 22.-There is now
no longer any doubt that the Oleve-
land regime, or the greater part of it, at
least, is in sympathy with the sound
money Democratic movement. Some
men even 60 80 far as to say that accu-
rate information to that effect has been
received from the fountain head at Gray
Gables. But on this topic Messrs. By
mum and Wilson are as silent as oysters.
Information has been received in Indian
apolis that valuable acquisitions to the
sound money Democracy have lately been
made in New York, in fact within the past
twenty-four hours. 1t is believed that the
central figure in the 'acquisitlon" is Alb.
ram s. Hewitt.
Mr.. Bynum has received word from Mr..
Hardy, of Texas, that full delegation
will come from that state. Similar infor-
nation comes from Chairman Dedcroix,
of North Carolina.

BANDS PLAYED AND CANNON DOOMED
Mckinley Disobeyed Hanna's Orders
and Made Brief Speech, But He
Carefully Abstained from Men

Canton, Ohio, Aug. 22.-Two thousand
farmers, mechanics and other citizens of
New Castle, Elwood and other parts of
Lawrence county, Pa, started to Canton
this morning in special train over the
Baltimore q Ohio railroad to call on
Major Mckinley.
They reached Canton shortly before
noon. When they paraded to Mckinley 8
home, 5000 people crowded over the bare
lawn and surged into the streets. The
bands played, thousands of enthusiastic
voices cheered ,cannons doomed and steam
calliopes added noise to the medley.
The people stood in the rain for m
hour. They carried Inscriptions, "We
want back good old Mckinley times" eve
want furnace and factories started, not
rich mems silver mines," "Honest money
and chance to earn It,"
The presentation was made by ex-Oon-
gressman Oscar l.. Jackson, who said:
"We are here to honor the most distin-
guished friend Of the American system of
protection. We know this system bene-
tits all classes equally. That is the real
question to be settled this year and we
want to do our part to keep this before
the people. We consider the much talk
ed of money question false issue raised
by designing men for selfish purposes.
For many years We had good money and
we only want it kept good"
M'KINLEY D1soBEYED ORDERS.
Maj. Mckinley said: "Fellow citizens:
The earnest thought of people this year
is directed to the present condition of the
country and how best to improveit. What
shall the change beF Shall it be con-
tinuance of the present Democratic party
under another leadership (cries of "No,
no'O, leadership advocating all the
policies of the Democratic party which
have been injurious to the American peo.
pie and rejecting all which are good,
wholesome and patriotic, and which have
received the approval of. the people Of
the countryf Great cheers and cries of
'No~.
"a triumph this year for the Chicago
platform would be signal victory for
free trade and for continuance of the
free trade legislation which has already
resulted 30 disastrously to the American
people and entailed upon thegovernment
deficient revenues, diminished trade
abroad and starvation wages at home.
This wing believes not only In free trade,
but it believes in free silver at ratio Of
16 to l. (Crles, "Down with free silver.")
Having diminished our business they now
seek to diminish the value of our money
Having out wages in two, they want to
cut the money in which wages are paid in
two; and we will not have either one OF
the other" Tremendous cheering ant
cries, "Hurrah for McKinley.")

At McKfnley's Home.

Canton, Ohio, Aug. PA fusion of the
free silver Democrats and the Populists
has been effected here. The two conven-
tions were held simultaneously in the
same building and committees were ap-
pointed to confer in regard to a combine.
There was dissention in each convention,
and some of the Democrats made bitter
denunciatory speeches against the Popu.
lists. In spite of this, however, fusion
was made, and there is to be one ticket
in this county, which is to be called the
Democrat ticket. There we're five can
didates to name and two of them were
selected by the Democrats and Endorsed
by the Populists, while three were named
by the Populists and indorsed by the
Democrats.
A peculiar turn of affairs was the in.
dorsement of Bryan and Sewall and free
coinage in the Democrat convention,
while the Populists indorsed Bryan and
Watson and free silver.

Railroad Letters.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Acting Post
master General Nelson has modified the
recent order of the postmaster general
prohibiting railroads from carrying, with
out payment of postage, mail relating to
railroad business. The modified order
was issued to meet the views expressed
in an opinion by Attorney General Har-
mon, 10 whom the matter had been re-
ferred, at the request Of the railway com.
panies. The attorney general held that
railroad company has the right to carry
letters without the payment of the post
age that are written and sent by the off,
GERS and agents of the railway company
which carries and delivers them, about
it's business, and these only. They may
be letters to others of its officers and
agents, and to those of connecting lines
or to any one else so long as no other car.
rier intervenes. The moment this occurs
su,h other carrier is transporting letters
for third party, which is contrary te
