Things have changed with the G. D. P.

elephant in the middle of the road with not
room enough on either side for the G.. O..

of q walk over two months ago the leaders

ley will give them no data to go on. All
| the managers had arrived in st. Louis by
Wednesday evening and yet no man had
any authority to say ''gold," ''silver" or
even ssstraddle.' And there is a dread of
imp ending disaster that makes them fear
if they take any one, they will wish they had
| taken either of the other two.

declares that the present business depression
is due in large measure to the continued agl-
tation of the question of our national cur
rency and the threatened ange in our STAN
dard of value.
Every consideration of party policy and re-
gard for the public veal. requires an unequi-
vocal declaration of our party's position with
reference to this question, and its speedy set
Element. The Democrat party of Virginia
stands ready to abide by the declarations of
the national Democracy as set forth by it's
convention soon to assemble in the city of
Chicago. but as Indicative of its own views
upon this subject, it declares as follows:
We demand that the volume of our currency
shall be commensurate with the growing
population and business development of the
country; that every dollar of gold and silver
put in circulation shall be of equal intrinsic
and exchanged BILE value and that the present
gold standard of value shall be mainta ined,
neither deprecated by legislation, because
thereby the earnings of labor and the pro-
Queer would be lowered and creditors de-
frauded; nor so appreciated. because thereby
debtors would have their burdens augmented
and the value of all forms of wealth except
money be greatly lessened. We hold to the

every dollarof both metals as long as their
parity can be maintained. We are unalter-
ably opposed to the free, independent, and un-
limited coinage of silver by this government
at the ratio of 16 to l, or at any other arbi-
trary ratio without an agreement with the
leading nations of the world in regard to the
same.
On roll call Munford's gold standard
resolutions were defeated by 1916 to 81.

Dave Hill of N. Y. when he went
to Chicago was hit between the eyes

had written sometime ago TO some

so reckless of both science and Of

paid an official visit to the hospital
yesterday. The lepers greeted him
with smiles and spoke enthusiastic

Unfortunately, however, the present
supply Of the remedy is too small for

used carefully upon several patients

IL you want TO amuse yourself make
your friends believe you are extraordi-
narily gifted and do little practicing
in mental arithmetic, get familiar with
the manner of doing the following, aud
you will never fail to discover the age
OF person and the month in which he
was born: First, ask him to go to other
end of the room to prevent you seeing
what he is going to write. Then you
ask him to put down the number of the
month in which he was born and multi
ply 1t by 2; then add s TO the sum and
multiply the latter by so, add his age
TO the quotient; then deduct 365 and
add ll5 to the difference. Suppose he
is 40 years of age and was born in Feb
ruary. the computation might stand
thus: 2x2-4, plus So, x50-450, plus
1873, minus 365-l34, plus ll5-249.
The last two figures indicate the age
viz, 49, and the first figure,2, Febru-
airy, the second month OF the year.
You simply ask the person to state
the result OF the calculation and then
declare that he was born in February
and is 40 years OF age.

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

Up to the present time politics rela-
tive to city matters, in both Republi-
can and Democratic circles, has been
remarkably quiet, but the calling of
the city and ward caucuses, which will
be held week from Monday, is a re-
hinder that an important election is at
hand. This is an important year po-
litically speaking. 1t is presidential
year, county and state officers are also
to be elected, and Republicans every
where should be on the alert remem-
boring that Eternal vigilance is the
price OF liberty. 1t is necessary in
the coming election for republicans of
the city to nominate strong ticket
and then stand by it at the polls.
AS to the head OF the. ticket no name
has yet been prominently mentioned in
connection Herewith, but there is
plenty OF timber to select from and the
caucus will find the man.
For Treasurer, Will Day is entitled
to a denomination. He informs the
BANNER that he will not leave the
city as has been rumored.
For City Clerk we have heard no
name mentioned, except the present
incumbent, Chas. r. Cowdin.
In the wards it is very probable the
present supervisors will again be
placed on the ticket. AS to aldermen,
the terms of T. Frank Ireland in the
third ward, and Nj. +. Peck in the
second wards expire, and they will not
stand for denomination. j. A.
Spencer, in the first ward, would ac-
cept denomination and it is under
stood that the name OF John w. Moore
will also be presented. Alvin S. Dim
mick's name in the second ward, and
George Crippen in the third ward are
mentioned in connection with alder
manic honors.

FOR ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Mayor Bricker Working Hard To secure
One-Connections With the Wes'
Much Needed

Mayor Bricker Working haro 10 SeS"rs
Connections with the West
Much Needed.
Hon. w. r. Bricker has been quietly
at work, but very persistently In his
endeavor to interest the officials OF The
Lowell & Hastings railway company to
turn their attentions this way and TO
secure If possible the extension OF That
line to this city.
He has been in correspondence with
M. l.. Sweet, the president OF the road,
and also w. III. Clark, traffic manager,
and from them has received very favor
able replies regarding the matter. AT
their suggestion he has ascertained
from the different factories an estimate
OF the number of pounds OF freight and
express they receive and put out
yearly and also the amount paid out
for the same. The items have been
furnished and in the aggregate are
very large.
AS soon as convenient for Mr.. Sweet,
who is now i'll, meeting will be called
at Lowell, when it is desired that a
committee from here shall meet the
officials. Mr.. Bricker says the line
proposed, which runs along the east
side of Flat river, is one that can be
easily and cheaply built. Such a line
would give us direct connection with
the south and west and it is earnestly
hoped the scheme will be consumated.
