Judging from the address just issued
by Chairman Bynum of the national
democratic committee, the desire of GER
tain men prominent in the two wings of
the democratic party TO get together, y
stands a poor chance of being gratified
Mr.. Bynum draws a lesson of encourage
ment by comparing the results of the
recent elections with the campaign of
last year. He points out the fact that
1.-The silver organizations lost the states
of Ohio and Maryland with the legis-
latures, which will choose United States
senators, and that the silver candidate
in Kentucky was only able 70 muster a
majority of 1913 votes, with 10000
majority of whom he claims were for
gold-not voting. He holds that while
the national democratic vote in the state
was twice as large as last year, the silver
party suffered a loss of 10000 In Iowa
also the sound money vote was doubled,
and in Massachusetts it was increased
% per cent while in both Nebraska and
South Dakota the free silver cause
suffered.

not from over-buying, through

Odd pieces have less CONNER
cial value, to us, than full sets,
but to the purchaser there is
no difference.
We have a vast number of
broken tea sets, odd cups and
saucers, breakfast. dinner and
tea plates and glassware. These
have been massed together to
form the foundation for a bar
gain week. The prices are a
third off cost and for cash there
will be discount; that means
that the goods will go to ev-

nrice, for the reason that with
the reduction and discount,
the prices will be too low to
admit of loss of interest accu-

this class of goods at such low
