STONE MAY BE CHAIRMAN.
BRYAN Said to Have Selected MN Il
Manage his Campaign.

Bryan Said to Have Selected MIN 10
Manage his Campaign.
New York, Aug. 17.-Unless every
sign fails Governor William J. Stone
of Missouri will be the next chair
man of the Democratic national
campaign committee. If this should
prsve to be true-and there appears
to be no reason for doubling the
statements to that effect made here
today-it is a sad and overwhelming
defeat of the schemes of the Mary
land and Arkansas statemen.
Mr. Stone will cease to be Gov
ernor of Missouri in January. His
ambition is to succeed George G.
Vest in the United States Senate,
although, should Mr.. Bryan be
elected, he may be secretary of the
Interior. He is fghter aud a man
opposed in politics to all kinds Of
compromises. Hence, the almost
positive certainty that he will be the
head of the campaign committee.
One of the political leaders here,
who recently talked with Governor
Stone as to his being named as the
active leader of the Bryan forces,
said this afternoon that he hslieyed
the Governor was seriously consid-
ering the advisability of accepting
the honor. The gentleman added:
But the Governor said If he took
the position he would have to resign
the Govsrnorship at once"
A. his term will last but 4 months
longer. this would not be serious
matter for his party in Missouri.
The real significance of his selection
would lie in the fact that Eastern
Democrats of tho Gorman type, who
have felt that it would vet prove
profitable to deal with gold men,
have been thrown overheard. They
car follow the Bryan band wagon il
they wish to, but they will net be
solicited to do So, nor will their aid
be asked by the promise of political
/ preferment.
Of course the immediate personal
and political friends of Mr.. Bryan
are iubilant over his reported selec
ton of Western and Southern man
combined for the chairmanship oi
the campaign committee. They fee
that this is distant rebuks to the
conservative party leaders of the
East for their alleged attempt tc
restrain the nominee from making
a radical free silver campaign.

MIith a better understanding Of the
" transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-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 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. It's 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-

NE ~ JERSEY DEMOCRATS.
Tho Platform Opposes Free Coinage and Withdrawal of Treasury
 Notes.

TRENTON, N J., May S-Upited States Senator Smith, chairman of the demo- cratic state committee, called the New Jersey democratic convention to order yesterdsy and in brief speech predicted success for the party in the pres:den- tial election. Permanent organization was effected with John W. Qieen ae chairman. In his speech Mir. Queen made individual reference to the diff terent men named in connection with the democratic presidential pomioa- lion. The mention of ex-Governcr Rus sell of Massachusetts, received the great est applause. Tie platform adopted declares:
 "We are in favor of firm, unvarying maintenance of the present gold stand ard. we are opposed 10 the free coinage of silver at any ratio ana to compulsory purchase of silver bullion by the gov ernment. We believe the interests of the people demand that earnings, trade, agriculture, manufactures and com merce, and especially the wages of labor, should be paid in money of the greatest intrinsic value and the highest standard adopted by the civilized nations of the world. We are therefore, unslterably against hll vices and schemes for the debasemept of our currency. We be- lieve the federal goverrmen should be divorced from the business of banking; we therefore demand the repeal of all laws authorizing the issue or reissue of legal tender CT treasury notes by the government; they should form no part of the currency of the people. We favor tbe enactment by congress of such legislation as will insure banking cur rency ample in volume for all needs of business, absolutely secure in every contingency, and at all times redeemable in gold"
 The following were chosen delegates at large to the democratic national con- vention: United States Senator James Smith, A. McDsrmott, ex-United States Senator Rufus R. Lodgett and ex-Judge Albert Tallman.

A Hsssayam was on the third floor of the Fleming building on Monday, and wanted to come down in the elevst- or, so he yelled to the boy:
 Say, bring that there cage; want to come down."
 "Why don't you ring the belI?" said the boy, who was three stories below.
 'I have no bell," was the reply.
 "I will come and get you," said the elevator boy.
 After the rural gentleman stepped in he said. "Do all those who room up here have bells?"
 The lad then showed him the electric bell and rang it for the Hassayamper.
 "Well. I'll be dnrned." said the old man. "I wonder if l could get one to put up stairs to ring the boys up at home?"-Gazette.

Summer is at hand and the warm and pleasant evenings make out of door rec reation desirable. It has been sug- gested that the Philharmonic band be- gin anew their delightful concerts at the city park, but the members Of the band feel that they cannot offer their services in that direction for nothing, but should at least receive & small recompense from those who enjoy the music. For a purse of $50 per month they would be willing to offer their services as heretofore and this amount could easily be raised by popular subscription. The Philhsr- monic is acknowledged to be the leading band in the territory and it is only by years of patient study and hard work that their present degree of perfection has been attained. Who will start the ball rolling?

Robinson has by far a better field for the good offices that have ever been his pleasure to extend toward the southwest. He was the first pres ident of our local railroad from the north and has been the general man ager of the Atlantic & Pacific and no one better than himself is acquainted with the needs and with the opportuni- ties of Arizona.

 In regard to contributed article Friday relative to the woes of an 1owan athirst for military glory, two objections, very properly have been raised by the victim of the practical joke therein referred to. Through a typographical error it was announced that he lived "on" his friends in a cer- tain lodging house, instead of with" them. Again he is not ignorant of current events, but well read young man who speedily and good naturedly 'itumbled" to the joke and joined in the laugh with the jokers. The item was written in corresponding good spirit.
