The Chicago Convention.


The most unique Democratic
National Convention ever held was
that which was held at Chicago this
week. 1t were more fifty termed a
silver convention than anything
else and proved the sorest thorn
that ever entered goldbug's side.
The New York goldites were on
hand with all the force they could
muster, headed by Whitney and
Hill. They tried all their arts to
head the silverites but in vain.
Hill was named by a majority of
the National Committee as tempo
rary chairman, but the silver men
turned him down and elected Sen
ator Daniel of Virginia. Senator
White, of California, was chosen
permanent chairman.
The following is the financial
plank of the platform, the only
plank in any of the platforms this
year which will receive any atten-
ton from the public:
We are unalterably opposed to the
single gold standard, which has locked
fast the prosperity of an industrious PEG
pie in the paralysis of hard times. Gold
recommendation is British policy, and its
adoption has brought other nations into
financial servitude to London. 1t is not
only un-American,~ but anti-American,
and it can be fastened on the United
States only by the sitting of that indom-
liable spirit and love of liberty which pro-
claimed our political independence in
1916, and won it in the war of the
Revolution.
We demand the free and unlimited coin-
age of both gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of I6 to I without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation.
We demand that the standard silver dollar
shall be a full legal tender, equally with
gold, for all debts, public and private,
aud we favor such legislation as shall
prevent the demonstration Of any kind
of legal tender money by private contract.
We are opposed to the policy and prac
tice of surrendering to the holders of the
obligations of the United States the option
reserved by law to the government of
redeeming such obligations in either silver
or gold coin.
We are opposed to the issuing Of
bonds of the United
States in time of peace, and condemn the
traficking with banking syndicates
which, in exchange for bonds and at an
enormous profit to themselves supply the
federal treasury with gold to maintain the
policy of gold monometallistn.
Congress alone has the power to coin
and issue money, and President Jackson
declared that this power could not be del
egated to corporations or individuals
We, therefore, demand that the power to
issue notes to circulate as money be taken
from the national banks, and that all
paper mouey shall be issued directly by
the Treasury department.
The convention had a stormy
time on Wednesday and the day
passed off without coming to vote
on candidates or adopting the plat
form. Bland appeared to be losing
ground. The convention seated
all the silver contestant delegates.

BOYS. KNOW YOURSELVES.

\ good lesson to the youth Of our
city may be learned from the following
wholesome advice in the last issue
OF the Water Valley Itemi1er. Il APP
plies to any boy anywhere:
There is many a boy in Water
Valley who does not sell for what he's
worth. He has made some misetep,
and the recovery from it is terrible
slow, or he has failed to bring into
notice some power OF soul, mind Or body
that should be known and understood
by men. May be some unthUughted
indiscretion has KEEP, them in the
back ground. Boys. think: thinking
makes the man. A hap-hazard life
will lead to protligacy Don't think
for one moment that your conduct is
not watched! The business men of
the world know your failures. Don't
imagine you can say Il don't care,
and the world won't hear It. No good
business man wants to have in his
employ the boy that dent care. The
time has been when you could point
the finger of scorn at the hoy who was
trying to live correct life, and call
him 'goody, goody fellow but that
time is out of date, and the boy with
correct principles is climbing to the
ton.

FROM NORTHERN CARROLL COUNTY
Also Comes a Plea for a Change in Buy.
ing and Weighing Cotton in Grenada.

We the undersigned citizens and
farmers OF the Northern part of Car
roll county, do earnestly request the
merchants ana cotton buyers of Gre
NADIA, Miss, that they change the
present system Of weighing our cotton
at the Compress and have it weighed
at the Alliance Cotton Shed, Or some
where up town, as our teams are not
accustomed to the fuss and noise OF
the railroad and Compress, and as
there has already been some runaways
by good teams at the Compress, and
not to change the present system
would necessarily take a great deal
of cotton to other towns that belongs
to Grenada.
