ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 20.-Mayor John
Boyd Thacher tonight gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 10, 1896
Hon. Elliott Ddnforth, Chairman of the State
Democratic Committee. NelU York City-DEAR SIR:
/ am informed by the public press and by in
dividual delegates that the Democratic par ty
OF the State. in convention assembled at
Buffalo on September II, 1896, did me the
honor of naming me as its candidate for the
high Office of Governor. l now learn that the
State committee is TO meet on Tuesday for the
purpose of appointing committee TO officialy
notify me of that fact. 1t has seemed to me
due to your committee that before it takes
that step should make statement.
cannot ask for the confidence and support
of the people of the State without frankly de-
claring my position upon the financial issue
now agitating the public. stand to-day
where l stood in the month of June in the
presence of a convention of the State Democ-
racy. have not changed an iota in my belief.
nor deviated q step in my course. The com
mercial honor of this Nation is pledged to the
world. and the whole word knows that the
Nation will maintain its honor.
took part in the State convention which
sent delegates to represent the party in the
National Convention at Chicago. Those d ele-
gates by participation acquiesced in the action
of the National Convention in presenting can.
didates for the offices of President and Vica-
President of the United States The State Con-
vention of the Democratic party has ratified
the nomination of these candidates. I have
learned from the fathers and IN turn have en-
deavored to teach that the Democratic nartv
is vehicle to carry the will of the people into
effect. Such vehicle is constructed with dif-
iculty but is easily destroyed. Faisnre now
and then to perform absolutely satisfactory
service viii not justify the utter destruction of
the vehicle. It was not constructed TO hear
one burden, but many and various burdens.
When the financial burden is finally disposed
OF the people will still employ the Democratic
party to support their purposes and TO carry
them into effect. When they do thus employ
that party L. for one, do not want it TO be shat
tered and dismem bered, but to be strong.
united and efficient.
Therefore / shall cast my vote for William
jennings Bryan ard Arthur Sewall, the candi-
dates in due and regular form chosen by a
majority OF that convention. regret that 1
cannot be in full accord on the question of
finance with the sentiment of The late con-
venticn, but if my position seems inhar-
monions with the usual attitude of candi-
date toward his party 1t should be remem-
bered that the conditions are also unusual
In nominating me l must assume that the
convention wss not unaware OF my financial
views as expressed in public utterances, and
that it was induced to accord me that dis
tinguished honor in view Of the fact that
under the constitution q Governor of this
State has no official connection whatever with
matters pertaining to the National currency.

and has since been followed by desultory
firing.
A telephone message received from the
mine after the first explosions stated that
nobody inside the barricade had been
hurt After receiving this message COM
munication with the mine was interrupted
and has not yet been restored.
Another explosion, presumably of dv-
Mantle, was heard after the break in the
telephone connection. which was followed
bp bright blaze in the vicinity of the
mine
The Fire Department and the local mi
litia were hastily called out and hurried to
the assistance of the besieged miners.
They found the works at the mine in a
blaze and when they attempted to turn on
the water to fight the flames they were
ordered to desist by the attacking party.
Finally they succeeded in getting connec-
ton with other hydrants and tuning a
stream on the flames. Hardly had this
occurred when series of explosions were
heard in the traction of the Emmett and
Marion mines, and it is supposed that an
attack had been made on those working.
A later report from the Coronado mine
states that Fireman O'Keefs was fatally
shot while attempting to turn on the
water and that two unknown men are
dead.
The entire city is astir and thousands
are gathered near the Coronado works.
The Fire Department Is now fighting the
flames with feir prospects of success.

These are practically sure for the opposition,
although there may be possible dispute even
along that line.
put my estimate upon the facts within nv
own personal knowledge of the rapid and
mighty change in public sentiment that has
been going on ever since the actual campaign
of 1896 began. I believe that the vote OF
Arkansas, to which our opponents are point
ing with pride, is more significant of coming
results in the Middle and Western States than
is even the magnificent victory in Maine The
fact that State like Arkansas, with the cnar-
acter OF whose elections we have become go
familiar, exhibited such a splendid increase OF
Republican votes and such a significant de-
crease of Democratic votes is in the highest
degree important, and a relative increase of
Republican votes in the other States in the
Middle and West would give practically a
solid vote. No sensible man can smut his ewes
to the fact that the KcKinley tide has been
rising since about the LIST of August. and that
the ratio OF its increasing power grows greater
every day.
The entire campaign is suggestive of 1872.
when in July and August there was q grave
apprehension that Greeley might be elected
Yet in November he was overwhelmingly and
disastrously defeated.
may add in this connection that estimates
and prophetic uttersnces of our opponents
may be well illustrated by the situation in
Ohio. During my recent trip to the East
found scores of Republicans who were
anxiously inquiring if Ohio would be carried
by Mckinley, and scores of Democrats who
insisted that their information left no possibii-
ity of doubt of McKinley's defeat In his native
State. even saw attributed 10 Chairman Jones
of Arkansas the suggestion that Ohio was conf

return have advices from every Congress

confidence that am willing 10 maintain at
any hazard that Mckinley VIII have more than
100000 majority in Ohio, and that he VIII

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept 20.-Louis Lom-
bard and r. E. Johnston OF New York,
now at the Auditorium Annex, have is
sued a manifesto in favor of what they
call the Platinum party" advocating the
use of platinum for coin. They say the
metal Is better than gold, because it wears
longer; it represents greater value in a
small bulk; there is no fear of flooding the
country with cheap platinum, and the
standard of value cannot be arti6ciaIly sf-
fected. The founders of this party an
nounce themselves as candidates for the
Presidency.

Mrs. John L. Young Dead.

A gloom was cast over our commu.
nifty yesterday morning by the an
nouncement that Mrs. John l.. Young
was dead. She hadb been sick for some
time and has suffered q great deal, and
her death was not unexpected. She has
been quite prominent both in social
circles and In the good works of the
town. Her influence for good and her
works will live after her.
The funeral services were held In the
Presbyterian church, and her remains
were laid to rest In the town cemetery
which owe It's beauty in o large
measure to her work and influence
She was public spirited and took o
prominent part in every enterprise for
the good Of the town or the people,
She was noted for her kindness to those
In need, and her open hand OF charity
was ever extended to the poor and suf-
sorrowing children the Times extends
its deepest sympathy.-Union Times.
Mrs. Young was Miss Jane CARING
ton, reared in this city, a daughter of
the late John Darlington, and sister Of
the Messrs Creswell and s. D. CARING
ton. AS Miss Jane Darlington she was
a beautiful and lovely girl, bright, &C
complished, and we'll known through
out the State. There are still q few
left among us to recall with mournful
pleasure the charming grace of the
lovely girlhood of this noble Carolina
matron.-Ed.

TEACHERS, COLUMN.
]. "A. MADDEN, EDITOR.

The teachers of the county are
contributing cheerfully and ably to
the support of the teachers column.
An editor with such an able corps
of contributors should feel proud of
the support he is receiving, and the
readers of the county papers are to
be congratulated that such an in
terest is manifested by the teachers
of the county in disseminating the
better arts of in%structing the young
through the columns of our own
county papers, and the teachers
and the people should endeavor to
secure a general circulation of the
papers, and to create a lively inter
est in the educational affairs of the
county. No teacher is fully equip.
ped for his or her work who does
not read the county papers, and no
family a afford not to take a

All schools should have, besides
the regular course, a few additional
lines Of work bearing OH the gen.
eral intelligence and daily life of
the pupils.
Ofthese, the newspaper develops
the greatest amount of enthusiasm
and usefulness. Children from ten
years upward readily learn and en-
joy the iudicious use Of newspapers,
and what they begin at the sugges-
ton Of the teacher, they should
keep up till they have acquired a
taste which will influence their
newspaper reading in all their
after lives.
A good many busy people have
very little reading besides the news

should learn, early in life, to make
the most of what is found there

if n has been trained to look for
and appreciate it.
Then too, it seems absurd to study
past history SO carefully, when the
living history Of ones own and
other countries is passed by unno-
ticed. The live issues Of to day be-
come the history Of tomorrow, and
how much more impressive are the
lesson, if given at the time in which
they actually occur.
We must teach them, therefore,
to follow the great political events
in our own and other countries
Rebellions, prosecutions and wars
are going on in various parts of the
world, and they should know the
principal features Of each.
But, some one asks, chow are
we 10 do all this in school"2 This
is the way it is being done in an
u%ngraded country school.
Once a week the pupils are re-
quested to bring some item Of in
terest from the newspaper. They
are told to leave out accidents
murders, and crimes in general, but
to bring anything else that inter
ested them, especially if it had any
connection with geography or his
tory. A short time is devoted tc
newspaper talk when the children
give any information they have
found and a few of the best of the
cuttings brought in are read.
When a sufficient number of cut
ting are received, the children have
the privilege of making a scrap
