The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1896-05-03

Pursuant to call by many silveg
Democrats . large and enthusiastic
crowd gathered at the courthouse lass
night for the purpose Of organizing thu
free silver forces, in order that dele->
gates might be sent from this city to the
Stsunton convention instructed for free
silver delegates TO the National Demo-
cratic convention, which meets: in
Chicago.
Inc meeting was of very harmof
NOUS nature, and showed plainly on its
face that those who were in attendance
were thoroughly In earnest about the
matter.
The meeting was called to order By
Mayor Jones. Hon. A. P. Staples Vas
made chairman and A. B. Antrim sec.
rotary.
Mr.. Staples addressed the meeting In
very able manner. He started off
by saying that he did not think THAT
there is any question which 30 concerns
the people OF shis country and especially
of Roanoke, as the currency question.
He said that almost from time im-
memorial he had heard that the
Democratic party was in favor of the
FREQ coinage Of silver, nor had he ever
heard 1t disputed until within the psst
two years.
The frst Congress. he said, In the
United States put gold and silver on
the same basis. and IL remained 80 unMl
silver was struck down in dark hour
In 1873. and since that time silver has
steadily gone down, until now IL takes
thirty-fve ounces OF silver to buy an
ounce of gold. Prior to that time gold
ana silver went side by side as . money
metal, and silver dollar was worth as
much as gold dollar.
For 1870 yearp, when both metals were
backed by free coinage, silver held It's
own, but since It's demone tixation silver
has gone down In value from l6 to 1 to
more than IS to of gold. In his refer
ence to the cause of the meeting being
hold he stated that Montgomery, Hail.
fax and Bedford have been heard from,
and have sent their delegates to Staun-
ton for free silver. We are here, he
said, to organize and see that Roanoke,
when the roll Is called, is represented
by 9 silver delegation.
Mr.. Staples was followed by Mayor
Jones, who addressed the meeting, and
in the course of his remarks said that
we are not here to essrange ourselves
from the Democrats who are opposed to
free coinage, bus to ascertain the
strength of silver in the city of Roanoke.
He did not believe in the Cleveland
Carlisle policy of piling up debts to be
paid by unborn generations, or by pay
ing debts by borrowing money with
which to pay them.
The work OF organization then began.

FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
What Was Done in the Senate
and House Yesterday.
The Bill to Establish a Uniform system

L WAsH1NeroN. May 9.-The House to-
pay passed the Henderson bill to estahs
jlish uniform system Of bankruptcy by
vote of 157 to 81. The majority in IA
vor of the bill was greater than Its

fAos that quite number of members
VINO desired on yesterday the voluntary
bankruptcy bill, after being defeated,
voted for the measure as reported.
There were but two amendments, one
unimportant, the other making the nom
payment OF note for thirty days an act
OF bankruptcy. Two substitutes for the
Dill, both eliminating the involuntary
features, were defeated, one by q vote
OF 80 to 100, the otner 112 to 1873

Torrey bankruptcy bill which has been
urged before Congress for several years.
1t provides for both voluntary and in
voluntary bankruptcy. Under its terms
there are eight acts for which debter
can be forced into involuntary bank
ruptcy as follows.
a. II person has concealed him
