been member of Congress and he knew that that when ..ic cast that ;aspoF- ton t was an untruth. He knew Congress does not enact laws that take effect Ut once; then how could the party be held responsible for laws enacted and enforced that could cause such disaster in eight months time? He knows full well that the Supreme Courts decision gave the first lick. and the gold sS indicate sealed it's doom, adding to and de- stroyiDg the confidence of the people in the stability Of the government. Standing behind his Republican mask he attempts to draw votes to himself as the exponent of the only principles which have, and can, set In operation the proper laws that will restore confidence and reinstate all business enterprises. How true this is needs no argument, for it was the Republican party that oppressed the South by maintaining standing armies in the Southland ten years after the close of the war, and during that time, by robbery and robbery, bankrupted the Southern State; now Mckinley and his henchmen seek, by trickery, to despoil and disrupt the Democratic party in these same States in order to again ride into power.
 Rich men arehonored and respected just as long as the use their wealth in legitimate way. There is no such a heresy as communism among the people at large. Granks and fools to some extent are scattered all over the world. The South today is just as loyal to America and American Republic as any other portion of it's territory, and her people would be quicker in the field to defend her flag, just as she is the quickest to defend the National honor. when brought to the pale of facing an oligarehy against her established form of gov ernment, which at the present time seems to animate and dominate the Eastern section Of our fair land with the intent of destroying it, making the people the hewers of wood and drawers of water.
 Will the people continue to hew wood and draw water for these mer- ciless sYndicates who are backing Mckinley? N. B. TRrLocK.

MORE TROOPS FOR CUBA.

Spanish AutF critics VIII Send Ten Thou
 sand Month to the Island.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The news that the Spanish government had chartered seven vessels to be used in transporting troops to Cuba was brought to the at- tention of Fidel G. Pierra of the exscu- tive committee of the Cuban junta in this city today It is reported that the vessels chartered are the Gufo of the White Star line, the Gallia, the Pegu of the Glasgow lin 5. the Lord Give and the Cough, late of the American line, the Montevideo of the Spanish trans atlantic line, and the Colon of the Pa cific mail line It Is said that by these transported the Spanish government in- tends to land 10000 men a month in Cuba. Only one of these vessels, the Montevideo, sails under the Spanish flag. MT. Pierra said
 "They are afraid to carry their troops in their own vessels. They know that the Cubans won d think twice before blowing up boat sail ing under foreign flag and that we would not hesitate for Q moment to blow up s 1anish vessel do not see any other reason why they should char ter these vessels, for the Spanish trans portation company has enough boats to carry all their troops to Cuba, and would be glad of the opportunity of making the money. Then Spain is very intimate with the transportation con- pany and their vessels ought certainly to receive the preference.
 ''They expect to send 10000 men to Cuba and at the rate of 10000 month, it will take them until December to do so. By the time they get the last TO-. 900 there the first l0,000 will have dis. appeared, and more perhaps. do not think they will send as many as 40, COG men, although they need them to replace those that have already died. We here ill the United States do not know the number of sick men they have who. if they recover, will never be worth any. thing to themselves or any one else. but we have an idea of the enormous nun. Der by the fact that they cannot find
  buildings enough in Havana and other large cities in which to house them Even the building of the house of char. ities in Havana, which was occupied by about 300 little girls, has been trans. formed into military hospital and the little children scattered all over the city, and every other establishment ot that character has been treated in +ho same manner.

 KEY WEST, Sept. S.-A letter was re- ceived from Havana Sunday night by the steamer Mascotte containing the in- formation that the Spanish authorities are plotting to destroy Key West. A similar report reached here several days ago, but at that time it was not gener- ally believed.
 The letter was written by Cuban Ill Havana to friend in this city. The writer says that few days ago he went to the government office at Havana and was informed by friend employed there that the Spanish authorities "had determined to burn Key West and an nihilate that nest of insurgents. ,
 The plan of the spaniards is to send emissaries to Key West in the guise of Cuban sympathizers, who are to fire their dynamite in as many places as possible when the opportunity arises.
 It is said that Captain General Wey- Ter is cognizAnt of the plan and approves it. He is reported to have said that if Key West and Tampa were laid in ashes he would be able to settle the rebellion. It is said that in case of the success of the plot Weyler has ordered that the emissaries be paid 500
 The people here are so wrought up that it is feared an attack may be made on Senor Cruz. the Spanish consul, and his assistant, Senor Fernandez. It was ported today that those gentlemen, be- coming alarmed for their safety. had gone aboard the United States warship Winona and demanded protection, and that they were told to remain on the vessel until the excitement died out.
 The citizens have determined to form 8 vigilance committee, and every person who cannot give good account of him self will be forced to leave the city.

BEAUTIFUL, INDEED,
Is the Medal Offered by R. H. stearns & Co. in the Two
 Mile Race.

R. H. Stearns < Co, jewellers, have about completed the gold medal offered by them as the first prize in the two mile lap race in the GRAPHIo's forthcoming bicycle meet on Thursday afternoon, September 10th. The medal will be finished and placed on exhibition in their show window on Main street tomor- row. It is one of the handsomest designs ever turned out by any engraving or jewelry establishment, and does great credit to R. H. Stearns X Co. The top bar of the medal bears across the front the words, First Prize, in enameled black lettering. Attached to this by gold chains is a second bar bear ing the words, Two Mile Race. the lettering also enameled black. To the second bar is attached the main design In the shape of a circu- lar disk surrounded by a laurel wreath of green gold. In the center of the circular design is a wheelman on his bike in raised gold, with the track in green gold below. Above the riders head is fan of transparent red enamel, while be- low is gold shield, across the front of which is engraved the year, the figures, " '96, also being in en- ameled black.
 The medal is the artistic work of the firms new engraver, Mr. Chas. Borg, who is certainly an expert in his line. A handsomer design or a more artistic piece of workmanship was never witnessed in the State.
 As we remarked above, the hand some medal will be placed on exhibl- tion in k. H. Stearns & Go. s show window tomorrow, and it must be seen to be appreciated.
 We earnestly hope this valuable prize will be won by home rider, but MT. z. s. Oliver, the crack Mem phis rider, has entered this event, and Olcott, Hut and Kilroy, our local crack riders, will have to get up and dust to best him.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The S-masted schooner John H. May, which left Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 23 with cargo of yellow pine for this port, ran into a heavy northeast gale off Frying Pan shoals, of Cape Hatteras. The storm began on the 9sth and Captain Burrows was obliged to heave to on the port tack with single reef in the mainsail and double reef in the foresail The laboring of the vessel caused the cargo to shift, and while William Nettinger, the first mate, and John Edwards, a Colored seaman, were wedging the deckload the following morning heavy wave struck the schooner with terrific force. It tore away the mainsail, boom and gaf and the bolt iron from the top of the aftermast and stove in eight feet of the deck near the mizzen rigging. Part of the starboard sail was also car ried away.

 The wave seemed to be 8 cumulative one. Captain Burrows said it was about 30 feet high and 60 feet long and came upon them very suddenly.
