4 Change OF Front.


Prior to this year Of grace, 1896,
no convention, State or National,
Democratic or Republican, had ever
dared to declare in favor of the sim
gle gold standard. The declarations
of both parties, in State and Nation,
and the speeches and public utter
ances of the statesmen of both par
ties had been uniformly and at all
times in favor of bimetalism-the
use of both gold and silver as full
legal tender, standard money of ul-
innate redemption. AS to the Re-
publican party, witness these decla-
ratiOns:
The Republican party is in favor
of the use of both gold and silver as
money, and condemns the policy of
the Democratic administration in its
efforts to demonetize silver. Repu6-
hc0n National Platform Of 1883.
The American people, from tradi-
ton and interest, favor bimetallism,
and the Republican party demands
the use of both gold and silver as
standard mOney.-RCpuJiicm Ma
hOnGl Platform Of 1892,
The resolution Of the Convention
in favor of bimCtalism declares, |
think, the true and necessary cOndi-
tiOnS of Il movement that has, upon
these lines, my cordial adherence
and support.-Pr President Harrison in
his Letter Of AcceptdncC IN 1892.
The Republican Party Handbook
of 1892 declared:
" No party has ever favored money
mOnOpOliStS, contraction of the cur
rcncy, or an unchanged volume of
which, with growing bu-
sinoSs, would involve relative con-
traction. Nine-tenths of the poo
pie are bimetallists. They want
both metals used because they be-
lievc both are needed to sustain the |
worlds commerce. The Republican |
party honestly and intelligently an
swcrS their wisheS.n
DO we find any such declarations
as these in the platform of the Re-
publican party recently adopted at
st. Louis? No. There is absolutely
nothing of the kind, but, on the
other hand, we find clear, distinct |
and positive declaration in favor of
the single gold standard until the
other can be obtained by an interna-
tional agreement. But, suppose the
agreement is never
made? Then we have the Republic
can party fully committed to the
gold standard.
Here we may remark that many
of the best posted and most promi-
nent men of both parties regard all
this talk of an International agree
ment as mere dream-a thing al |
together improbable and impracti-
cable, If this he true-and we think
it is--then, under the Republican
platform, gold, the red despot, as
Mr.. Vest calls it, is and must con-
tinue TO be the sole standard of value.
We congratulate the people that the
Democratic party has had the cour.
age to declare our Independence of
foreign powers and to proclaim
boldly it's intention to re-instate the
white metal regardless OF the wishes
of Great Britain or any foreign no.
tentate or power.

OUR opinion is that all this talk
among the dissatisfied gold bugs of
New York and few other cities of
the country about putting another
Democratic ticket in the field will
end where it begun-in talk and talk

THE loss Of life from the recent
tidal wave in Japan was between
$4,000 and 10000. The government
has received reports from all the de.
vastated districts, and it is thought
all the victims of the disaster have
been found or accounted for.

THE 50-CENT DOLLAR.--It is pal
pably unfair to talk about a 5O-cent
silver dollar so long as the govern
ment has its heel upon the white
metal. With the minis closed to the
coinage Of the silver dollar as legal
tender money and with the govern
ment discrediting silver by declin.
ing to exercise its option to pay it
out in redemption of government
notes, though expressly redeemable
in coin, and with the mints, at the
same time, thrown wide open to the
free and unlimited coinage of gold,
it is not surprising that there should
be wide difference in the bullion or
commercial value of the two metals.
Give the two the same chance at the
mints, place them on the same foot
ing, then if you still have the 80
cent dollar We'll yield the point, but
not till then.

Complimentary TO Mr.. Gilmer.

The Monroe UdtchmaH, of last
week, in referring to the candidacy
of Col. S. S. Green, of Kanawha,
for the Court of Appeals, adds this:
ave hear also that Henry Gilmer,
Esq, of Greenbrier county, is being
urged as a candidate for this nomi.
nation. Mr., Gilmer has the judicial
attributes in an eminent degree. He
is endowned with brilliant mind,
and by study and training has taken
high rank in his prO!esslon.n
1t is true, we think, that some of
Mr.. Gilmer's friends have endeav-
ored to persuade him 10 enter this
contest for the nomination referred
to, but we do not think he has con-
sented to do so. The HdtchnlGH Is
correct in its estimate of Mr.. Gill
mer's legal attachments. With n
strong native intellect, discriminate
ing powers of mind, natural apti-
tude for the law and clear concep-
ton of legal principles, he ranks
high among the young barristers of
the State, and, with continued appli-
cation, will doubtless establish for
himself high and enviable roputa-
ton at the bar.
SENATOR TELLER writes to Mr..
Bryan, warmly COngratulating him
on his nomination and offering to
take the stump for the Chicago ticket.
In this letter Mr.. Teller says: "All
the power of money and organized
wealth, corporations and mOnOpolicS
OF all kinds will be against us. JUS
tlce is on our side, and this is the
cause of the people. 1t is a contest
for industrial independence and for
freedom from the domination of
foreign power and foreign capital, |
and 1t does not seem possible that
in such a contest before the Ameri- !
can people justice should fail and
wrong prevail. do not believe we
shall fail. l think can promise
you the cordial support of the West !
ern masses, who have heretofore |
acted with the Republican party,
ami if you get that think that all
of the Western, Coast, and inter
mountain States will be with YOU"

 Bryan electors have been chosen from all the States south of the Potomac river except West Virginia. and all those west of the Missouri except California and Oregon. He has 190 electoral votes, and this number may be increased by final retmnsfrom States yet in question. Yet he lias not obtained enough Vptesto carry the electoral college Tlua, this remarkable campaign elAses. with the election of William Mckinley. The result was brought aheat by every kind of coercion and hti na itlatioftoa the part of the mon eq power, including threats of lock otitss af3l. -tiieihissals and impending starvation; by the employment of by far the largest campaign fund ever raised in this country, and by the subordination Of ;t large portion of tine American press.
 The President-eleet and his party are uader the pledge to the American people to continue the gold standard and by it's operation to restore pros- pefity to this country. As chief ex= ecutive, Mr. Mckinley will have the cordial support of millions of patri- otic Americans who have east their votes for William Jennings Bryan. They bow to the majesty of the office and abide by the result with none of the mutterings that would have come from the money power had it been unsuccessful.
 They are confident the gold stand

used IN the church for centuries.
Following the confirmation the bishop
preached an excellent sermon. speaking
freely without notes and emitting tho

tween the physical and the spiritual life
