have been touched by the devotion of
friends and our lives shall prove our ap-
probation of the affection of these peo-

richest reward which this campaign has
brought.

IN Its victory, let the roll be called for
the next engagement, and let us urge
the friends of bimetalism to renew their
allegiance to the cause. If we are
right, as believe we are, we shall yet
triumph. Until convinced of his error
let each advocate of bimetalism con-
tinue his work. Let all silver clubs re-
tain their organization, hold regular
meetings, and circulate literature.

"Our opponents have succeeded
In this campaign, and must now put
their theories to the test. Instead of
talking mysteriously about Sound
money and an honest dollar, they must
now elaborate and defend financial

should be publicly considered by the
silver clubs. Our cause has prospered

The patriotic women's societies of the
country are now REINFORCED by another,
the National Daughters of the Confed
eracy, which has for its object sister
hood of the various organizations Of
women in the south. 1t is nonpolitical
and is designed solely to cultivate the
ties Of friendship among the southern
women. This new association embraces
several others, such as the Monumental
association, organized for the purpose Of
erecting tribute to the dead at Mount
Olivet, and the Ladies' Auxiliary, the
first association of women in the south
formed to act with gentlemen. The
Ladies' Auxiliary, in conjunction with
the men, applied to the legislature for
portion Of the old Hermitage tract.
This was given, with sum sufficient
to put the place in order and erect the
comfortable quarters which now shelter
almost 100 old soldiers.
Last autumn the Nashville daughters
invited the members from other states
who had also united for the same pur-
pose to form a national association, and
this has recently been accomplished.
