Two Tip Top Democratic Speeches In Oss
Night.
There was a feast OF Democratic
oratory at tho Court House Friday
night. II was the date for the sp.
pointment Of Hon. G. W. Bransford,
81 Greensboro TO sneak. and Senator
H. D. Money, OF Mississippi, also
happened to be In the city on his way
to Paduoah. Both gentlemen spoke
to an audisnoe that filed the circuit
court room.
Mr.. Bransford delivered one OF the
very best speeches of the campaign.
He spoke for nearly two hours and
held the close attention of the large
audience. The young free silver
bank president proved to be pleas
ant and polished speaker as well az
an intelligent business man and far
seeing financier. His treatment of
the one great and vital question Of
the campaign was able, logical and
convincing. His facts and statistics
were presented boldly, intelligently
and clearly and his argument was d
complete REPUTATION OF the silly claims
of those who advocate a contraction
of the currency as the remedy for hard
times. Mr.. Bransfords speech appears
in full in supplement in to-day's
paper and it will repay the careful
perusal of all who desire to know the
truth about the financial question.
Following Mr.. Bransford's address,
came fine campaign speech by Sen.
ator Money. Tho distinguished
Mississippian at once caught y tho
crowd by his pleasing address and
intelligent treatment OF the money
question and for moro than an hour
he presented fact after fact and argu-
msnt after argument that left no room
for doubt in the minds Of those willing
to be convinced, that free silver would
be blessing to the debt-ridden poo
pie, only 80 per cent OF whom own
their homes. Senator Moneys speech
dealt largely with the personal aspects
of the present campaign. He dis
cussed tho brilliant leadership, the
remarkable ability and tho magnetic
oratory Of the Democratic leader and
aroused great enthusiasm among the
Bryan mon. He dealt in no abuse
but exposed tho object of the gold
men in putting out the indianapolis
"annex" and discussed the corrupt
methods being resorted 10 by Hanna
to control the election next week. Al.
together his address was one OF the
best heard here.

In Mulhall's "Dictionsry Of ss~tis-

nation of the world" found il to its
interest in 1916 to adopt gold mon
Cmetallism. Though a much less
wealthy nation than the United States
is now, it did not urge international
agreement. 1t did not warn its citizens
against attempting that experiment
single handed. No; and gold mon
ometallism surely was an experiment
in 1916. 1t simply sacrificed the con-
Germ of the people for the interest of
the Bank of England and consulted
no one.
The experience of Mexico is held up
to the ignorant. Why, Mulhall gives
the total foreign commerce, imports

at only 100000 pounds sterling,
while that of the United States is
given at 320,OOO,OO0 pounds-sixtesu

Ten Thousand Enthusiastic Democrats ~
Princeton.
Saturday was a great day for the
Princeton Democrats. Their barbecue
was a great success. The parade was
immense. 1t required thirty-fve
minutes for it to pass given point.
One float contained about fifty little
girls singing campaign songs. and
another had Is little boys singing.
Others contained glee clubs. Two
brass bands were in line and forty
five young ladies rode gray horses,
representing the forty-five States.
There were fifty men, carrying spears,
representing knights. 1t was an i'm
mense affair and the largest celebra-
ton that ever took place there. Judge
James P. Tarvin. of Covington; Capt.
G. T. Allen, of Mexico, Mo-; Ollie M.
James, of Marion, and Geo. A. Prem
tice of Morganfeld were the speak
ers. There were about 10000 people
present.
Mr.. Prentice spoke at night in the
opera house. All of this week speak
ers will fill appointments over the
county, and such excitement was
never known in Caldwell county,
which will give a big Democratic
majority.

CHARLES +. CRISP.
Ex-speaker of the House Dead at
Atlanta,

Ex-speaker of the House Dead at
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 23.-Hon. Charles
Frederick Crisp, speaker of the fifty
first and fifty-second congresses, died
at the Holmes sanitarium here at
las o'clock this afternoon, a par
oxysm resulting from a rupture
the heart as the result of fatty degen-
Grafton.
Judge Crisp came to Atlanta six
weeks ago for treatment. He was
then suffering from a typical case of
malarial fever, which had developed
in his home at Americas. He spent
June, July and part of August in
the mountains of north Carolina and
Tennessee. His return to middle
Georgia during the very hottest Pc
Rod of the summer developed the
fever. After weeks treatment by
Drs. Holmes and Davis the fever dis
appeared and the Judge improved
slowly.
Last week he was out driving sew
eral times and he was getting strong
er, until Sunday night, when he was
attacked with symptoms OF his old
trouble, pneumonia. DR.. j. /. Todd
was called in and on Tuesday con-
gestion of the lungs disappeared, but
the patient was so weak that Mrs.
Crisp telegraphed for her children,
and all came the next day. On
Wednesday and yesterday Judge
Crisp's condition improved, but he
received no callers. His family were
hopeful until 10 o'clock last night,
when he had paroxysm of pain near
the heart. At nTidnight there was
another paroxysm, and-they contin-
ued at intervals all through the night
and afternoon. He suffered intensely,
but was conscious up to the very last
moment. The last attack occurred at
40, Judge Crisp dying five minutes
later, surrounded by his family.
Gov. Atkinson was his last visitor,
having called on Sunday, when he
and the Judge chatted an hour on
current topics. Judge Crisp was
keenly interested in politics to the
very last. He opposed fusion with
the populists and charged Gov. At
kinson to defeat it if possible in
Georgia.
Judge Crisp was one of the leaders
of the silver movement in Georgia,
and on that issue the State over
whelmingly endorsed him for the
United States senate, to which he
would have been elected almost unan-
Imously by the legislature, which
meets next week. There would have
been practically no opposition to him
for the senate. His death at this
time complexities the situation, and
will lead to bitter fight for the SEN
atorshir. Perhaps other Offices will
be involved, too.

Judge Brown Assaulted.

Robt, L. Burrus attacked Judge NJ.
D. Brown Saturday morning and
struck him several severe blows in
the face, breaking his nose and other
wise battering his face. He lost much
blood before he could be attended to
by a physician. The trouble occurred
on Virginia street and grew out of
criticisms on Mr.. Burrus, which ap-
peared in the Fairview Review over
Judge Browns signature.

In the face fthese figures from un-
disputed authority, how dare any sane
man, seeking to be honored by ma
TONS vote, tell us we cannot attempt
to formulate our own financial policyi
Our present wealth is placed At s70,-
OO0,000,000. 1t is childish TO assume
that would not be enough to guar
antee the party Of less than $4,000
100000 Of silver-and that covers
every grain Of silver money and bull
lion in the entire world. A business
man that would not ship a 1000 bill
OF goods to merchant with $4,000
rating, for fear Of his solvency, would
have a guardian appointed over his
affairs by any judge on the bench.
1t is true that, as redemption money
silver would not be rede.mable in
anything else; but the government
would coin 4l2.5 grains standard silver
or 25.8 grains CT standard gold into
lOO.cent dollars, both of equal legal
tender qualities, and it is arrant non
sense to suppose that either could be
worth one-half the other.
Neither would there be flood of
silver from other lands. The European
silver money is at par now owing to
the guaranty of the respective govern
ments. Their coinage ratio values
their silver at from $IO3l5 up, as
compared with the gold dollar.
Would they sacrifice that while our
ratio values it at SIT Then as to plate,
knives, forks, watch-cases, etc.: Ask
any intelligent housekeeper to weigh
her silverware and compare it's price
with the 81. 1928 an ounce that bullion
would be worth after reconciliation.
She would laugh at you. The Asiatic
nations would send us no silver, for
there has always been steady flow
of silver to those counties which never
returns. The requirements of the arts
and sciences would not be a whit less
under bimetallism than under mono
metallism. In word, the rest of the
world will require just as much silver
then as it does now.
just a word about the colossal
swindle known as the gold reserve. 1t
is claimed the parity of our secondary
could not be maintained with
out the gold reserve as guaranty. In
the report OF the secretary of the
treasury for Oct l, 1894, is the infor-
nation that there was 81, 154,912,734
of paper money outstanding, and
Sl23, 665, 1866 in gold coin and bullion
in the treasury to redeem it-a little
over cents in gold for the security
of every 100 cents in paperl Will any
one deny that it is the S70,000,0 600, 900
of wealth behind 1.-THE faith of our
nation-that keeps it at part Suppose
now, you choose to make our silver,
too, dependent on that reserve, in
stead of the faith of the government;
how long you think it would remain
at par7 Think of it'll We are told that
money cannot pass at par if merely
based on the faith of the government,
and then bonds are issued, "to pro-
tect our credit" in $l0O,O0O,O00 lots,
based on that same faith and selling
at premiuml
