HONEST MONEY LEAGUE.
Issues an Address to the Democracy
of the Nation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The Execu-

est Money League to-day issued an ad-
dress to the Honest money Democracy
of the nation, who hold country and
honor above party" in which they de-
nounce the currency and other planks of
the Chicago platform. The address
concludes:
Shall we sacrifice the prestige, char
acter, standing and influence of this
great people that combination Of spec
ulators may profit by the sacrifice? Shall
we permit the Supreme Court of this
country to be tampered with and It's
character destroyed that the yoke OF
slavery may be permanently riveted
about our neckS, and that unlimited IL
cense may be given to the enemies OF
our institutions? Shall we indorse the
doctrine of non-interference with moo
law, merely to secure anarchistic sup
port to the silver scheme? From the
graves of our patriotic dead comes an
appeal in the name of liberty against
such infamy.
True and loyal Democracy is now
called to patriotic duty. If you are
true and loyal citizens you will use your
suffrage where it will do our country the
most good. Our country'S honor and
integrity and the peoples rights and
interests constitute to-day our political
creed, and the badge of true, loyal
Democracy

RACE WAR IN GEORGIA.
Great Excitement Among the White
Residents of Blythe.

AUGUSTA (Ga.), Sept. ia special
to the Chronicle" from Blythe, in this
county, twenty-five miles from here,
says: Blythe is in a state of great ex-
citement Several hundred negroes,
armed, are supposed to be moving to-
ward here and the handful of white
men are awaiting them, not, however,
without some fear, though they are all
fearless and will make firm stand.
If there is to be trouble it will come some
time later than this, as it is not feared
that the mob of negroes will come be-
fore midnight.
All day the whites have been waiting
with guns and revolvers near at hand
for emergency. Sheriff O'Connor, with
Deputy Sheriffs and posse of ten men,
left Augusta this afternoon, and ar
rived at Blythe at s o'clock.
The cause of the trouble is the shoot
ing of a negro, Steven Boland, by NJ.
A. Clark, for which the negroes threat
en- to massacre several white men at
the station.

MAINE CAMPAIGN CLOSED.
The Election for State Officers to
Take Place To-Day.

PORTLAND (Me), Sept. 13.-The
campaign which closed in this State on
Saturday night has been the most active
known for years on both sides. 1t has
been a speaking campaign almost en-
tirely, and not a settlement of any size
from one end Of Maine to the other has
been neglected. On the Republican side
the speakers included the most eminent
names in the country.
The Republicans are looking for a
victory of most overwhelming proper
fions, their estimates running as high
as 30, coo plurality for Powers, and no
one placing it under 10000, the most
conervative estimate. The Democrats
are generally disposed to concede 30
600 at least. The pluralities for the four
Congressman to be chosen tomorrow
will probably run considerably ahead of
the ticket. Mr. Reeds plurality may go
as high as 10000.
