Port Deposit Md, June 29.-The

BAYARD's PLsa FoR AMIrr.
His Address at the Memoriai-stone Laying
of the John Robinson Church.


Gainsborough, Eng, june 90. Upon
arriving here to-day the United States
Ambassador, Mr.. Thomas F. Bayard,
was presented with an address by the
GainsborouRh municipal council. Mr..
Bayard's visit to this town was upon
the occasion Of the laying of the me-
mortal stone Of the Robinson Church.
At luncheon Lord Bsownlow pro-
posed the toast of "The President Of
the United States" Mr.. Bayard, in
replying, said the occasion was both
memorable and delightful. It meant a
good deal, he continued, when from
both sides OF the Atlantic they met to-
gether with sincerity OF feeling to
drink the health Of both rulers" He
hop d the time would never come when
such toasts would not be drunk with
the same good feeling as at present
exists.
Continuing, Mr.. Bayard said states
manship could have no higher goal or
object than that the state of things
now existing should continue to their
children's children.
10 conclusion the United States Am.
bassador remarked that he twas in
this country not to discover difficulties
but occasions of agreement.
At the ceremony Of laying the stone
Mr.. Bayard read long address, con,
sistins chiefly Of historical sketch ol
John Robinson, whose name and char,
acter, the Ambassador said, create a
tie between those who feel the "kiu.
dred of common language and common
thought"

Ex-Governor Boies of Iowa. who is
regarded as the probable nominee OF
the Chicago convention for President.
and is an ardent advocate OF the free
coinage Of silver, made the following re-
ply when asked about the probability Of
a financial panic following extreme free
silver legislation by the government
of the United States: "There would be
no excuse for panic unless it were
precipitated voluntarily by the creditor
class. II this should he done, the
people of this yeson who do not belong
to the creditor class would be fully
competent to defend themselves
through laws which they could easily
make, and which they would be entirely
justified in making If the necessity
therefor should be created" The most
liberal Interpretation of this explana.
tion is that 1t is a threat Of repudia.
tion. In other words, If creditor who
had made loan upon gold basis
refused TO accept payment in silver
deprecated possibly to the extent oil
fifty per cent, the Legislatures of States
where the silverites found themselves
in control would pass laws compelling
creditors to accept payment in de-
preciated coin, or to lose the amounts
altogether. How could prosperity be
secured and maintained under such
dishonest conditions?

Mckinley is out with another OK
PLANTATION OF the kind of dollar he is
favor OF. In brief speech in response
to serenade at Canton, on Saturday,
he said: "And then a sound dollar,
as sound as the government and as un.
tarnished as Its flag, a dollar that is
good, not only at home, but is good
wherever trade goes; dollar that is
as good in the hands of the farmer and
the workingmen as in the hands OF the
manufacturer or the capitalist. !" Here
is the same indirectness and dissimu.
lation as was evidenced when he said
that he favored ''full' dollar for the
laboring mans full days work. In
each case he used terms so general and
indefinite as to suit silverites as we'll
as advocates OF the gold standard. The
silver fanatics insist that the silver
dollar possesses all the characteristics
of the dollar that Mckinley describes
as being his favorite coin. What a
pitiable exhibition of cowardice it is
for Mckinley, after his nomination
upon platform declaring in favor Of
the gold standard until international
bimetalism can be secured. to indulge
in such meaningless generalities in re.
ferring to the money question.

In repudiating the Addicks offer OF
compromise TO the Regular Repubii-
cans, the Morning News alludes to the
arch manipulation Of local Republican
politics as "the man who prevented
the election of United States Sena.
tor, thereby robbing the Republicans
OF Delaware of representative IN Con
gross. :" Rather tardy admission, this,
but it is the truth. During the long
contest that ended in the rejection by
the Senate of the claims of Colonel Ii.
A. du Pont to the Senatorship, our con.
temporary insisted that Senator had
been elected, by the fifteen votes cast
for Colonel du Pont. Now it admits
that Addicks prevented" the election
of a Senator, thereby robbing the
Republicans of Delaware, &c. "Truth
is mighty and will prevail" even in
the Office Of the Morning News, occa,
sionally.

About Buying Votes.


The Sussex Republican OF last week
prints an editorial about vote buying,
beginning in this manner:
The Democratic press OF this State
appears to be Mortified at the idea Of
Republicans using money to buy votes.
Why it is so much worse for the wicked
Republicans to indulge in THE prac-
ice, than for their own party they do
not state. There has not been an cleo
tion held iu this State for over thirty
years, at which the Democrats have
not spent all the money they could
raise to buy votes Only two years
ago, they paid as high as fifty dollars
per vote, right here In Georgetown.
The Republicans at that election not
only defeated, but banarupted them,
and now that they have no hope Of
carrying the election, they are Mortified
at the idea of the corrupt use OF money
at elections.
Then follows reiteration on the silly
lie that the Sugar Trust contributed
$50, 900 to the Democratic campaign
fund in this State two years ago,
coupled with the extraordinary an
nouncement-.and an astounding piece
Of news, by the way--that this fund
was augmented by "barrel Of British
gold" contributed by Mr.. Bayard. 1t
would be interesting to know what was
the value OF this barrel of British
gold," but the Republican does not
give particulars.
sIt is not necessary. however, to pay
any special attention to these ridiculous
inventions, which plainly stamp them
selves as campaign lies. But we are
sorry to note the approving tone of our
contemporary in referring to the un-
disputed fact that vote buying has
been going on in this State for the
past thirty years. IT virtually COM
meuds the Republicans for bankrupt
ing" the Democrats in this nefarious
business at the last election.
Because the disgrace has prevailed
for many years Is no reason why 1t
should be tolerated forever, and the
fact that both parties are equally guilty
is not the slightest palliation. No
paper should condone the evil. All
should unite in denouncing 1t scath-
ingly, and in scourging those who en-
courage IL, no matter which party's
interests the vote.buyers seek to ad.
vance.
Already there are indications that
money is to be used freely during the
present campaign, in the hope of max
ing it potent factor. Every honor
able paper in the State should raise its
voice in protest. and stand ready to
denounce and expose those guilty Of
the infamous practice. We hope our
Sussex contemporary will join in the
good work.

An estimate from Washington gives
the silverites at least 5s4 of the $50
delegates TO the Democratic National
Convention. This margin will enable
the free coinage advocates to adopt
platform in accordance with their ex-
trcme financial views, but it leaves
them short OF the two. thirds vote neces.
sary to effect nominations, according TO
the rules governing Democratic Ma
tional Conventions. There are intima-
tions that the silver forces may amend
the rules so as TO provide for nomina-
tions by mere majority, but this is
not probable. The two-thirds rule has
been in force since the convention OF
1914, and it's wisdom has never been
questioned. The prospects, therefore,
are that the Democratic convention at
Chicago is going to prove an occasion
of great interest, no matter what the
outcome Of its deliberations may be.

Should the Republican factions, now
led respectively by Higgins and Ad.
dicks, unite for common purpose
at the election, it would not serve to
commend the party to the confidence

needed is complete reputation of

party upon honest methods. and under
new and honest leadership.

Should the friends of sound money
fail after determined effort to secure
gold standard platform and gold
standard candidates at the Chicago
convention. as now seems absolutely
certain, the Baltimore News holds that
they ought to allow the silver mon to
adopt silver standard platform and to
choose thorough going silverite candi-
dates. This is not question which
admits of compromise, it adds. 1--WE
have got to live either under gold
standard or under silver standard,
and a compromise platform does not
mean the adoption of middle course
for no middle course is possible-but
the hoodwinking of voters during the
campaign, and the prolongstion OF
financial uncertainty in the event Of
success. -

MEMS CLOTHING

This is a clothing store
and other kinds Of a store.
But none the less a clothing
store. There is unequaled
security in buying our cloth
ing. The common trash, mis-
called cheap, SO generally wor-
shipped in the clothing trade
finds no entrance here.
The materials in our woolen
and worsted clothing are abb
solutely free from cotton. The
Importance Of that statement
only an expert in woolens
comprehends. Seams are silk
sewed. Garments are tailor
made.
Our high standard for cloth
ing is almost unknown else
where, and we have reason to
believe that our prices are 80
per cent. below the entire mar
ket for equal garments. In re-
tail clothing the raven is croak-
ing but not here, for splendid
gains mark our clothing sales.
