Hon. H. st. Geo. Ticker.

There may have been some who once
looked upon the Hon. Harry Tucker
as man who occupied no certain po-
sition upon the currency question. But
If such there ever have been, they need
no longer have doubts nor indeed that
he is afraid to express himself upon
any subject. There was no man in
the recent convention who raised him
self higher in the estimation of friends
or foes than he. In the face of body
overwhelmingly for the free and un
limited coinage of silver at any ratio.
the greater the more acceptable, he in
defiance of criticism in the face of op-
position, the greatest of it's kind ever
assembled in the State, in the presence
of the most influential and ablest body
of Virginians which has assembled for
years, he boldly and fearlessly an
nounced that he was not in accord
with them in their financial views, but
asserted that he would stand upon the
Chicago platform let that be what it
may. Then too did he have the good
sense to tell that body of men what
kind of man Grover Cleveland Is and
to inform them that he thought for
himself and acted for himself, and that
no matter what might be said by his
enemies or maligners he was withal a
great man. Mr.. Tucker placed him
self in the middle of the highway to
and denomination.

Mr.. W. A. BOWleS.

This gentleman who was on last
Saturday elected Superintendent OF
the d. D. & B. Institution of this city
needs no introduction to the people OF
this county, if indeed to any in the
State. His native county is Louisa,
but he has been known to the people
of Augusta since he Taught school at
New Hope in this county back in the
seventies. From there he came to
Staunton, and was in 1882 elected su-
perintendent of the free schools of this
city, a position he filled with marked
efficiency and acceptability. From
here he went to Richmond, Va, where
he filled similar position in the pub
lie schools of that city. His health
gave way there, when he came to Basic
City in this county, at which point he
has since lived and managed the Hotel
Brandon. This spring he and Mr.. E.
o. Peale, superintendent of the public
schools of this county, conducted a
successful Normal school there. Mr..
Bowles is in the vigor of manhood, ag-
gressive, industrious and talented and
as an educator has been highly com
mended wherever he has taught. His
education was finished at the Univer-
sity of Virginia, where he took the &C
ademic course. His known energy
and uprightness are guarantees of the
r doI;txy with which ha will updorto q
the work intrusted to him.

dence in the good faith of Mr.. Ellysor
and would be glad to have him al
State Chairman. In view of the fact
that Mr.. Ellyson would not say he
would accept, he seconded the motion
to relegate the selection of State
Chairman to the State Committee.
Senator Daniel read telegram from
Senator Joseph Blackburn, of Ken
lucky. in which he said: Kentucky
sends greeting to her Mother Virginia
God bless her,
THANKING THE PEOPLE OF STANTON
hon. John W. Daniel then moved
that the thanks of the Democrats at
tending the convention be returned to
the good people of Staunton for theil
courtesy and hospitality. "Thei1
hotels" said the Senator, "have been
as hospitable as their homes, and theil
homes have been as open as their
hotels"
He predicted every one would carry
away with them an abiding gratitude
for the hospitality extended them.
It was twenty minutes to midnight
when the gavel fell for the last time
and the Democratic State convention
adjourned sine die.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 10.
The Spectators Position.

The question has been asked, SIS
the SPECTATOR coming out for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to II" Our answer is
NOT YET.
We cannot yet see how the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to 1, can make times better than
the free and unlimited coinage of cop
per at ratio OF 100 to 1.
Both of these metals have been coin
ed at certain fixed ratios without
materially improving or strength
ening financial conditions.
If it is more money, without ref
erence to the kind we are seek
ing, by all means give us the copper.
But the SPECTATOR will stand or
the Chicago platform. There is nc
doubt about that.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Enstachian Tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have a rumhling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t Is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored 10
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the nu-
cous sufaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

ANOTHER vICTIM.-A short while be
fore day Friday morning, May 30, 1896,
a colored yard brakeman by the name
of James Whitley had his life crushed
out in an instant. The accident occur
red on the yards and near the lower
depot. It seems that the unfortunate
man had just made coupling and step
ped to the space outside the rails at a
point where a box car was standing,
the engine meanwhile showing string
of cars on a parallel track. He was
thus caught or side wiped:between two
box cars. He was rolled several
feet and so badly hurt that death came
in a twinkling. Yard Conductor Hud-
dlestun was near by and went to his as
sistance but of course could do nothing
the poor man was already dead.
Whitley had been here several years
and was one of the best brakemen on
the yards. He was married and about
thirty years of age. His wife was
notified by wire and came here and &C.
companied the remains to their old
home at Forest depot, on the N. & W.
road.-Czifton Forge RecieaC.

Gladness Comes

\X|ith better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
