THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Its Attitude on Silver Can Be Defined
Now as Well as Later.

Its Attitude on Silver Can Be Defined
Now as Well as Later.
Cincinnati Commercial (Rep.).
1t is quite safe to forecast the out
come of the Republican National Con-
vention as regards the silver question
1t will not favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver; it will not favor the
virtual elimination of gold from the
currency; it will favor most assuredly
the maintenance of all currency,
whether gold, silver or paper, at par
ity. This is known now quite as well
as it will be known when the national
convention shall have adopted its plat
form.
Therefore, those silver spectators
who want to force the product of GER
tain Western silver mines that costs
twenty five cents per ounce, as
measured by the present standard.
should not stand on the order of leav-
ing the Republican party, but should
gather up their clothes about them
and leave at once This they have a
right to do, but they have no right to
claim to be Republicans and at the
same time threaten to leave the Re-
publican party in case the majority re-
fuses to go over to the minority.
Furthermore, no candidate at present
named for President on the Republican
side favors free silver, and not one of
them would accept nomination on
free silver platform.
The Republican convention will
stand squarely on sound financial
platform, and will nominate candi-
date who will stand squarely on that
platform. If the country shall fail to
indorse such platform and such can
didate It will be very bad for the
country. But upon that subject we
have no fears.

II Is very often that the most insir.
niticaut symptoms are forerunners Of
the most violent disease. There Is
not more destructive disease then
Cancer, and In a majority of cases il
IS FIRST indicated by a very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-
longs 10 one of the Oldest and best
families of Carolina; he IS well and
favorably known throughout South
Carolina. and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary

just under his left eye, above the cheek
bone. He thought nothing Of il for
some time, until it began to grow rap
idly, spreading ali the time, and de-
stroying the flesh as 1t went.

Suns Cotton Rey,aw.

New York; July 22.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton -declined 8 to points, very steady, with sales of 135,6O0 bales.
 Today''s features: An advance had .4sea the rise here yesterday But cables from that market reported a decline both for futures and spots instead and accordingly prices here declined early in the day. Later in the day. Liverpool rallied and this, to- gether with a better tone in Wall street and covering of shorts, led to a rally in which all of the early loss was recovered and an advance established. Spot cotton here and at the south was steady and the weekly government report was not so fa- vorable as last week. Unfavorable reports were received from Mississippi.
