NO DIRECTORY IN 1897.

Very few people can form an adequate
idea of the vast number of changes
and removals that take place in a city
like Wheeling in the course of single
year. We have just had access to the
data that Mr.. Calm has prepared this
spring for the free use of his subscrib-
ers. There are over 500 items, includ-
ing the removals of residences, changes
in business firms, new corners to the
city. new corporations, etc, since July
1896. and this material is all complete,
and is now on file in manuscript form,
in the office of the Wheeling City Direc-
tory. 1913 Chapline street.
Mr.. Calm is certainly deserving OF
the thanks of our business men in pre-
pairing all this material at a cost of
several hundred dollars, for the free
use of his patrons. See his announce
ment in tomorrow mornings Reg

BOIES OF IOWA
Makes a Public Declaration Against Free
silver at sixteen to One.

Makes a Public Declaration Against free
silver at sixteen TO One.
Waterloo. Iowa. June 2S.-"For one,
7 do not believe it possible TO succeed
mon a platform that demands the I'M
qualified free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l with gold. We have
fought that battle and it is lost. We
can never fight it over under circum-
stances more favorable to ourselves.
If we hope to succeed, we must aban-
don this extreme demand
In these words Horace Boies, former
Governor of Iowa and erstwhile Demo-
cratic Presidential aspirant, addressed
the voters of the United States who de-
mand the free coinage Of silver. He
Gees it through the medium of a letter
TO Col. D. NJ. Fox, of Des Moines.
The friends of silver, although once
defeated. are not yet demoralized. This
will not be true after a second de-
feat" he warningly says. In our next
great battle we must win or our cause
is lost"
Although Mr. Boies has in private
frequently expressed hostility to the 10
TO l Ilank of the Chicago platform,
this is the first authoritative declara-
ton from him to that effect. In pub
Iicly declaring it to be a dead issue he
gives at length his reasons for asserting
it to be such. He says the voter buried
it under the belief that it meant silver
monometallism, pure and simple, which
would increase instead Of diminish the
misfortunes attributed to the single
gold standard.
1T matters not" he says, chow we
convince the people the gold standard
is wrong unless we convince them that
what we offer in its place is better in
stead of worse"
BY the adoption of the 16 to l plank
he declares the delegates to the Chicago
convention forced the silver forces to
assume the defensive for their new
creed.
