A QUESTION OF INSPECTING ELEC.
ToRAL RECoRDs.-J. L. Gleaves, chair
man OF the republican party of Wythe
county, on Friday made application to
F. n. Terry, secretary of the electoral
board of Wythe county, for permission
to inspect and take copy of the records
of the board. Mr.. Terry, acting upon
the advice of Hon. VIM. E. Fulton, of
the county court, refused to furnish or
permit any one to take a copy of the
records, but as an act of courtesy per-
mitted Mr.. Gleaves to look over and
examine them. Later in the day Sher-
iff Harkrader served notice on Mr..
Terry that the Supreme Court of APP
peals would be asked to grant man
damus compelling him to furnish the
desired records. Dispositions were taken
in the case on Wednesday, and the ar
gument before the Supreme Court will
be on Friday.

man of Colorado from party trammeis
for conscience sake. Mention of Bry-
ans name brought delegates TO their
feet cheering. He said Bryan repre-
sents the cause of humanity against in
justice.
Mr.. Towne concluded with plea for
harmony.
The chair then invited Gov. Stone, Of
Missouri, to the stand, but he could not
be found, and Elk. Governor st. John, OF
Kansas, was called to the platform.
He opened with Somebody has fred
on Fort Sumter, bat North and South
are united in the present fight" He
said Grover Cleveland was even deader
than the Mckinley bill. When Govern
or st. John concluded he was loud
ly applauded.
The convention will issue an address
to the public, embodying the same
points as the address OF the bimetallic
league in January.
Mrs. Helen N. Cougar, of Indiana,
addressed the convention, stating in
opening that she supposed that this
was not the first time the gentlemen
present had been talked to by woman
on the subject of finance. She told
story to illustrate the money question
from a woman's standpoint and
charged that breweries and distilleries,
nine-tenths of which in this county are
owned by British capital, were doing
more than all else combined 10 degrade
American citizenship, homes and indus
tries. She charged that never since
the days of Belshazzar's feast had
there been more drunkenness known
than was displayed in st. Louis the
night before the republican convention
adopted its platform last month.
1t was moved and adopted to pub
lish to the world the former politics of
delegates to show what proportion were
formerly republicans.
The chair announced that Mary Z.
Lease would deliver an address tonight
on Bryan and free silver.
The convention then took recess
till 2:30 p. IN.
Secretary Diflenderfer this afternoon
gave out statement and table showing that
thirty-six States and Territories with 94S
delegates snd 146 slternates, are represented
in the silver convention. There have not,
however, been more than 300 delegates and
alternates in attendance upon any Of the SEE:
sions so far held.

SOME OF the rich government bond
holders who fear that the interest on
their bonds may be paid with silver
dollars, though such payment is anthor-
lied by law, assign as the reason for
their opposition to the Chicago ticket,
the groundless assertion that, with free
silver coinage, the "poor laborers would
be compelled to receive their wages in
fifty-cent dollars" These men never
thought of the poor laborers' interests
before, and if the money locked up in
their bonds were invested in industrial
enterprises, SO that they would have to
employ laborers, they would be the first
to pay them in deprecated currency, ii
they could. But the currency would
not be deprecated, for as soon az the
government shall provide for free silver
coinage, the spectators will get hold
of the silver bullion, and its price will
at once advance to its coin value. The
laborers understand this newly mani
tested interest in their welfare by peo'
pie who rarely thought fthem before,
as well as everybody else does, and esti-
mate it at its true worth. Better assign no
reason for their opposition to the demo
cratic ticket, than such a ridiculous one
as that referred to.

MOST of those who now denounce
the national democratic platform be-
cause it Justly criticises the Q. S. su'
preme Court, are the very men who
lauded it when it was reorganized for
the express purpose ofreversing thepro
vision of the Constitution which de-
clares that nothing else except silver
and gold coin shall be a legal tender,
when it reversed itself by deciding
against the income tax, and when it
decided that the owner Of cornfeld
should be taxed to pay a bounty to the
owner of sugar cane field on the other
side of the fence. The worst criticism
of the court, as has been well said, was
the dissenting opinion in the income
tax case.

THERE SEEMS little present doubt OF

of the people of the country, irrespect-
i've of the motives that have previously
controlled their votes. 1t lis for more
money, against higher tax on the nee
essaries of life, for moderate tax on
surplus incomes, and against the civil
service law humbug. But, whether it
shall succeed or not, it will have at
least one good effect upon the demo-
cratic party-eliminate firm it the
mugwumps and those who hold the
New England higher-law idea, that a
mans own self-interested and prelu-
diced feelings should influence his
political action, rather than the DELHI
crate and unbiased opinion of the
whole party to which he may belong,
They have selected this time, when
their party, by fortuitous accident
has by far the better chance of success,
to abandon it and join its enemies, and
they will probably remain in the bed

The members Of the Tabernacle imme-
diately after their prayer meeting last
night held a meeting to decide upon the

After some discussion it was decided to
hold a communion service Sunday morn
ing, December 10, in the new First Con-
gregational Church, formerly the South
Bergen Reformed. and admit the 1888 per-
sons who have presented their lettens

effort to be present at this service and
welcome the new members.

ernacle hat morning. It was finally de-
cided that Mr.. Wells conduct a service in

fit OF the children of the Home for the
Homeless. who always attend the service
