ILLINOIS GOLD BUGS.
Democratic Organization of the State
Has Re.Opened HEADQUARTERS.

Chicago July 1.-THE gold Democratic
organization of Illinois will reopen head
quarters tomorrow in the Palmer House
and the executive committee does not
doubt that there will be enough favorable
responses to the manifesto issued last
night to guarantee new national COM
mittee. Chairman Robins admitted that
he had received no additional kilograms
today from prominent Democrats offer
ing to support the third ticket proposition,
but he assurances he had received led him
to expect delegations from eastern and
southern states even II the party machin-
cry of the states were opposed to the plan
on the supposition that two Democratic
tickets would mean the election of Nc
kinley.
1t is generally believed at state Repub-
lican headquartoers here that the national
committee at its meeting in Cleveland
this week will locate branch headquarters
in Chicago and place National Cimmittee-
man Jameson in charge of the western
campaign. This would be taken as rec
ommendation Of the claims that Mills is
the royal battle man in the campaign.

Early in the evening he went into

TO.DAY'S MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller. on Summer day. tp
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
OF large red freckles and first-rate health
Singing. she rode, and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from
town,
Upon the hill-slope, coasting down.
The sweet song died. and vague unrest
And q sort Of terror filled her breast
fear that she haIyily dared to own.
For what II her wheel should strike q
stone! .E,s.
The Judge scorched swiftly down the
road
Just then she heard his tire explode!
He carried his wheel into the shade
or the apple trees to await the maid.
And he asked her II she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, as he'd Lost his own.
She left her wheel with a sprightly jump.
And in less than u jifTy produced her
pump,
And che blushed as she gave It. looking
down
At her feet once hid by a trailing gown.
Then said the Judge, as he pumped away.
"'Tls very fine weather we're having to-
day
He spoke of the grass and flowers and
trees;
OF twenty mile runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her boomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack-a-day!
The Judge remounted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed. "Ah me!
That l the Judges bride might be!
My father should have brand-new wheel
OF the costliest make and the finest steel.
And I'd give one to ma Of the same de-
sign,
So that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back, as he climbed the
hill,
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"A prettier face and form moro fair
I've seldom gazed at. declare!
Would she she were NINE and today
Gould make her put those blosy1ers
away"
But he thought Of his sisters. proud and
And shuddered to think how they would
scold
If he should, one of these afternoons.
Come home with a bride in pantaloonSl
He married a wife Of richest dover,
Who had never succumbed to the bloom
ers' power;
Yet. oft while watching the smoke wreaths
curl
He thought of that freckled bloomer girl;
OF the way she stood there, pigeors-toed,
While he was pumping beside the road.
She married a man who clerked in store.
And many children played round her door.
And then her blocmers brought her Joy!
She cut them down for her oldest boy.
But still Of the Judge she often thought.
And sighed DER the loss that her boomers
wrought,
Or wondering IL wearing them was a Gin,
And then confessed: ut might have
been"
Alas for the Judge! Alas for the maid!
Dreams were their only stock In trade.
For Of all wise words Of tongue or pen.
The wisest are these: Leave pants FOR
men"'
All, we'll! For us all hope still remains
For the bloomer girl and the man OF
brains,
And. in the hereafter. boomers may
Be not allowed to block the way!

SATURDAY, May Is, 1896.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H.. Va. as second-class matter.

Mark Hanna, the manager for Nc
Kinley, believes that the apostle of
high protection has won the race
and nothing more need be done, and
the conclusion at which he has ar
rived is probably correct. His
nomination being assured, the opin-
ion of those Republicans, who are
not for Ohio's favorite son, are inter
esting They say that for the Re
publicans to nominate him would be
little short of suicide, 'and Boss Platt,
of New York, sizes up the tariff man
in the following graphic manner:
MY opposition to Governor Nc
Kinley proceeds almost entirely from
my belief that he will get the Repub-
lican party into turmoil and trouble.
He is not a well balanced man of
affairs, as Gov. Morton is. He is not
a great man as Mr.. Reed is. He is not
a trained and educated public man,
as Senator Allison is. He is not an
astute political leader, as Senator
Quay is. He is simply clever gentle
man, much too amiable and much
too impressionable to be safely in
trusted with the great executive
office, whose quest of honor happens
to have the accidental advantage of
the association of his name with the
last Republican protective tariff.
1.-The American people have shown
that they don't want q radical tariff
in any direction. What they do want
is a protective tariff, so devised as to
make up by taxes on foreign articles
that compete with our own for the
difference between the price OF labor
here and abroad. Mr.. Mckinley
represents the most radical and ex
IRENE view of protection"

The consolidation of the cities OF
New York, Brooklyn and other
cities around them goes into effect
January 18th, 1898. and the first
mayor of Greater New York will be
elected in the fall of 1897, and the
city which is thus to be created will
be the second city in the world in
population and include in its limits
about three million persons. Lon
don only of all the cities of the world
will have larger population, and it
will only be question of time when
New York will be in the lead of the
British Metropolis in that respect.
Both of the great political parties
claim that the consolidation will be
beneficial to them. The Democrats
say, that they will be in the lead in
the Greater New York by $4,000
majority.

The Ladies Committee on Enter
tainments have arranged for a Con-
federate concert during the Confed
crate reunion in the city of Richmond
on the occasion of the laying of the
cornerstone of the monument to be
erected to the memory of ex-Presi-
dent Jefferson Davis. 1t will take
place on the evening of July I'd, and
no feature of the reunion is likely to
be more popular as the Confederate
concert, where the old camp songs
will be sung and the old marches
will be played again. 1t will be worth
a trip to Richmond to hear the old
rebel yells'' from twenty thousand
threats or more which such music
will bring forth.

The President, in the opinion OF
Governor Oates, of Alabama, "had
attempted a somewhat Utopian
scheme in trying to be President OF
the people instead of a partisan
President" His exalted, classified
civil service does not please the
Governor, nor according to his views
anyone else but the mugwumps OF
New York. He is, perhaps, satisfied
if he pleases them. If he ever wanted
the approval of the Democrats of the
country, he seems to have long since
fallen very short of the mark.

Virginia for Free Coinage.

Washington, May s.-Senator Mar
tin, of Virginia, whose views upon
the financial question are not very
well known, but who is classed rs a
sound-money man, admits, it is said.
that the Democratic convention of
his State will declare for free silver
coinage. Representative Swanson,
whose own county is one of the last
to declare in favor of free coinage,
said today there could no longer be
any doubt of the action of the State
convention. Senator Daniel estimates
that seventy-five per cent. of the
Democrats in Virginia are in favor of
free silver and that the vote in the
State convention will verify this
statement.
