the large audience in the early hours
sang only silver songs, and it was on
the silver chords that Chairman
Sloan struck the response.
The greatest demonstration of the
convention followed that part of
Chairman Sloan's speech in which
he referred to William j. Bryan as
the leader of the silver cause for
1900, and it was with this claim that
the speaker closed his keynote
speech.
An antitrust resolution was
adopted as follows:
1--WE hereby declare all trusts and
monopolies hostile and dangerous to
the peoples interest, and a standing
menace to the perpetuity of our free
institutions; and we demand the
vigorous enforcement of all anti
trust laws and such additional legls-
latiOn as may be necessary for their
immediate and final suppression"

SILVER WAS KING.
Ohio Democrats Declare For Free
Coinage of Silver.
A Harmonious Convention - VIM. j
organs Name Received Lusty
Cheers.

COLUMBUS, o., June 30.-The
Democratic State Convention here
to-day was one of the most memOra-
BILE political occasions in the his
tory of Ohio. 1t was a convention
of unanimity on principles and of
differences on men, especially on
those who were candidates for
places on the State ticket. In the
contest for favorites it was also a
convention of endurance, as the
delegates took no rests and were in
session continually from 10 a. m.
until almost that hour tonight.
1t was IA free silver convention
throughout. While there were some
differences of opinion about adopt
ing the antitrust and the Cuban
resolutions, there was not dissent
ing voice in the convention to the
declaration of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
OF any other nation. The name of
William j. Bryan was mentioned in
some way by every speaker as the
only sure way of bringing out
chorus of applause.
While there was no place on the
State ticket accorded to either the
silver Republicans or the Populists,
yet representatives of both those
elements co-Operated in the conven-
ton and an informal fusion was per-
fected. The silver Republicans and
the POpulists are themselves re-
spOnsible for having no representa-
tives on the ticket, as they would
not ask for such representation,
stating that they were more inter-
ested in the platform than in the
offices.
The following state ticket was
nominated:
GovernOr.-Horace l.. Cham pman.
Lieut. GOv.-Melville d. Shaw.
Supreme Judge-J. p. Spriggs.
Attorney General-W. H. DOre.
State Treasures-James f. Will
son.
Board of Public Works-Peter H.
Degenan.
School Commissioner-Byron H.
Hurd.
In addition to the State ticket
nominated, there is an implied ar
rangement for John r.. Mclean for
Senator with the States candidates
as well as the party organization for
him. Still it is reported that eX-
Congressman Paul j. Sorg will also
be in the field for Senator. The Nc
Lean men did not name their first
favorite for Governor or hold the
resolutions as they had fixed them
last night, but these concessions
were made in the interest of har-
mony. They wanted nothing in the
platform but the declaration for free
silver as the paramount issue, but
they would not vote against the
antitrust and Cuban resolutions
when once presented.
Just before the convention was
called to order to-day, huge gold
cross was carried into the room. 1t
had as ornaments the crown of
thorns and clock indicating Is
minutes to | o'clock. 1t was quite
large, and as it formed the centre
piece among the floral designs about
the stage, Chairman Sloan in ges-
ture, pointed to it with great effect
as he proceeded with his vigorous
speech. There was also a living
white rooster perched on the stage.
The speech of Chairman Sloan was
frequently interrupted with the
widest demonstration of applause,
especially in his reference to silver.
The keynote of everything was sill
yer. The Glee Club that entertained

effort has been made to set forth the
reasons why we need constitutional
revision, and the unfair and untrue in
timatiOn in the above letter that we are
proposing "tO do things under cover
and in the dark" is not warranted by
the open methods which the advocates
of the convention have pursued in the
conduct of this campaign; and these
"dark methods" exist nowhere except
in the outrageous imagination of tn
venerable eX-statesman, His objection
that it has not been incorporated in the
Democratic platform may be dismissed
with the statement that it is not ques-
ton of partisan politics, although it
is generally known that the Republ-
cans are against it, while two Demo-
cratic legislatures have pronounced in
favor of it by voting to submit the
question to the people.
"When did it come to pass" says the
writer" and who discovered that it was
safe and the only safety of nearly two
millions of people in the state to dele
gate their right of free thought and free
speech to ninety-nine men indiscrimi-
nately elected?"
This grand principle of representa-
tive government came to pass many
centuries ago and it has been nurtured
and developed by the Anglo-Saxon race
as the safest and strongest bulwark of
liberty. 1t is the very fundamental
principle of our republican govern
ment that the people have the right and
power "to delegate their right of free
thought and free speech" to their repre-
sentatives. 1t is the living principle
of every state and of the colonies be-
fore the states, and is the foundation
and security of our civil and political
liberty. But suffice it to say that, in no
other way has an American constitu-
ton ever been framed, that is, except
by representatives of the people duly
chosen by the people themselves; and
if this country is to continue to be the
land of the free, no constitution will
ever be framed otherwise.
There are several other points which
l would have considered, but the publ
cation of the entire letter has reduced
the space for comment, and leave it to
the discriminating judgment of the
reading public. SAM HOLDING.

DON'T become so engrossed in
threshing your wheat, digging your
potatoes or blowing your corn, as to
neglect your constitutional rights.
Every man owes it to himself and
his children to listen when there is
talk of changing the old or making
a new constitution. One of the
many troubles with this day and
age and country, is that the people
leave to few the privilege of max
ing their laws. l. P. Padgett will
speak upon this Constitutional Con-
ventiOn question at the court house
next Monday. Come and hear him.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-07-02

THE County Court will convene
in regular quarterly session next
Monday, and among other things,
they will have up for discussion the
proposition to mortgage the property
of the people with bond issue.
The HERALD has called attention to
this matter several times, but the
tax payers-as usual-prefer to wait
until kicking will do no good, then
kick. This county was practically
out of debt ten years ago. By care
lessness, by inefficiency or eXtrava-
gance, or by combination of these
faults, the County Court has piled
up a debt at the rate of about five
thousand dollars a year; and now,
for no good reason that we can see,
they propose to put the debt into
bonds, in order that the magistrates,
the ofiice-holders, the professional
Jurors and witnesses may have their
warrants cashed upon presenta ton.
The scheme may or may not be
good politics; certainly it is not
good financiering. 1t would relieve
the Court of the strain from inpOr-
tunate holders of warrants, but they
need that very strain to make them
more calculating and economical
than they have been. 1t would
make the whole debt bear interest
then, whereas now upon consider
able part of it the interest is not
taken into account, and it would
send the interest abroad, whereas
now the interest is paid to home
people. and by them spent with
home people. 1t may be said in
argument when this question comes
up, that the bonds will be placed at
home. And so they may be; or so
they may appear to be; but in
reality they will be bought-if
bought at abby home capitalists
to be sold again for profit. 1t is
purely a business question, and
should not be effected by any per-
sonal or political considerations;
and as business proposition it does
not commend itself at this particu-
lar time to any favorable considera-
ton.

WHAT we need in this state is a
committee, employed and paid by
the people, to enforce the laws relat-
ing to public corporations, combines
and trusts. The combined capital
lists do pretty much as they please.
The people get aroused at high
handed Outrages now and then, tear
their hair and shout for a general
law governing this class of public
robbers. The Legislators with a
great deal of pomp and ceremony
and buster and Juror, pass the law,
it is approved by the Governor,
spread upon the statutes, and then
forgotten. The people think they
have accomplished great deal,
when really they have just begun to
get ready to accomplish something.
But when they "have carried the
day" as they think, they cool off,
and the trusts, combines and cor
porations continue their nefarious
practices. What we need is a COM
mittee in every town who Will look
after the peoples interest and en-.
force the laws against these public
enemies.

THE WHEAT CROP.

Our farmers have been very busy
this week threshing their wheat,
selling and delivering it. The
weather has been favorable for the
harvest, and excepting those who
are holding for better prlces) it is
perhaps safe to say that one-half
of this crop-the largest one ever
raised in Maury, has already been
threshed and sold, if not delivered
Those who were fortunate enough
to deliver before the first, got, as IA
rule, 60 cents per bushel; the pre-
vailing price since the first has been
6219. The Nashville buyers, both
millers and spectators, could have
paid . cents more per bushel, and
still been on the safe side for a fair
profit. If they had, our millers and
spectators here could and would
have done likewise. With any.
thing like organization or union be-
tween the wheat growers of Middle
Tennessee, they could as easily as
not have received cents more per
bushel than they did.
There is an enormous net loss to
the farmers, incurred by their not
attending to their business as they
should. If your crop amounted to
500 bushels, your loss was $25; if
your neighbours crop was 5000 bush
els, his loss was $3.50. And it might
just as we'll been saved as lost
Next year this question should be
considered in time and this money
saved to the farmer, who does all the
work and takes all the chances in
raising the stuff, and who is entitled
at least to fair competition in the
open markets of the world.
However, while we would advise
self-protectiOn in the future, there il
more cause for rejoicing than fol
grieving. Through the beneficenct
of Him who sendeth the rain anC
maketh the sun to shine, the yield
was unusually large; very many
crops averaging twenty bushels pei
acre; not few reaching twenty
five, and some going as high as thir
ty. Another fortunate circumstance
is that the acreage in the count!
was unusually large. And then, too
60 to IS cents per pushed is not bat
price; with good yield, such as W.
have had this year, there is money
in wheat at 60 cents per bushel.

IT is now in order for the goldites
to eXclaim that the silver craze is
passing away. They should not
grow unused to their battle cry. The
silver craze passed over Kentucky a
few weeks since while the State
Democratic convention was in ses-
sion, and captured everything in
sight. This week it crazed the Ohio
Democrats. They went so crazy
over silver and Billy Bryan that it
was hours before they would con-
sent to have anything else in their
platform. Not content with reaf-
firming and redeclaring the princi-
pies embodied therein, they even
borrowed the verbiage of the Chi
cago platform, in part, that they
might train close on the lines of the
Bryan campaign. 1t begins to look
like the New York Worlds prophesy
is coming true; that in 1900 the
country will he so overwhelmingly
for Bryan and free silver that the
Republicans, and their aids, the
goldites, need not make any at
tempt even TO stem the tide.

The Nashville Sun says: Ten
years in the penitentiary wouldn't
be too much for the enemies of the
public who enter into an infamous
trust or combine to force prices up"
The Sun was talking of dealers in
ice. If it had been referring to
dealers in wheat, the sentence
would have concluded with the word
down" If the people would take
the same interest in enforcing the
laws against trusts and combines
that they do in having these laws
passed, the country would soon be
rid of these curses; and if the Sun can
work them up to that active interest
in their own affairs, it will have ac-
complished a great good.
