AN IMPORTANT VISIT

This City, Yesterday.

BY Leading Citizens of Parkersburg, to
This City, Yesterday.
Yesterday morning a large and i'm
portant delegation of Parkersburg gen
tlmen arrived in the city over the Ohio
River railroad, in the private car
"Gauley," for the purpose of inspecting
the electric railway system of this city
and also getting points on the Elm
Grove motor line. The gentlemen max
ing up the party are the owners of
the franchise for the Parkersburg City
and Suburban Railway Company,
which corporation contemplates giving
Parkersburg a modern urban and su-
burban system of travel. The gentle
men in the party were: Hon. J. N.
Camden, Col. w. N. Chancellor E. c.
Gerwig, J. M. Jackson, Jr., c. H. Shat

Wetherell.
I On reaching this city the party was
taken in charge by representatives of
the Citizens and Wheeling Railway
Companies and we're given a tour
over the line of the city road, many
pertinent matters being thoroughly ex-
planned. At two o'clock the visitors
were turned over to representatives
of the Wheeling and Elm Grove Com
v>,E f~,x oo1,
but careful study of that system. They
returned to the city at 1886, and left
for Parkersburg over the Ohio River
road at four o'clock.
George A. Burt, Vice President of
the Ohio River Railroad Company, was
to have been one of the party, but was
detained by business in New York
City.

That Gold Convention.

The more we think of the coming con
vention in Denver, says the Leadvllle
Herald Democrat, the more strongly oul
fears grow that it is to be made the oc
casion of severe blow at the silvel
cause, that there turks in 1t a conspiracy
of the gold men. Its inception is susp
cious, its delegates are numerous and IL
most cases enemies of bimetallism. They
will lack nothing Of honey and sugges
ton to make them able to accomplish {
stroke against US.
Il is not enough that this convention
must not declare against silver, or in ia
vor of single standard. 1t should gt
further and declare for independent free
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio o
16 to 1. in order to be in harmony with
its surroundings and to avoid giving oc
casion for invidious reflections by oul
friends the enemy.
Silver men should attend in force a:
delegates and auditors. There may bt
urgent occasion for their presence fol
the reasons h ere stated and the ostensl
BILE objects of the convention invite thei
attendance independent of the politica
wisdom of their being there.
Daily camera., 1897-07-02
In Union is Strength.

If the silver Republicans, Populists
and silver Democrats are in favor of the
restoration of silver to the coinage, a
tariff for revenue and not for the protec-
ton of the trusts and combines, where is
there any difference in their political
views that should divide them at the
polls7 1t is to be hoped that the organ
ization of the three parties in Iowa may
cause like union in many of the other
states. A division If their votes means
triumph of the money power, which is
always united regardless of political diff
ferences. Until the people quit acting
like a pack of chumps and allowing
themselves to be led astray by the sugar
coated taffy OF self-appointed leaders,
who are in the pay Of the money kings,
there is no hope for them. they must
drop their partisan animosities and join
hands in an effort to throw of the yoke
of the money power.-Fort Collins

Blew Off His Toe.

Clay Gif6n, younger son of DIR. L. M.
Gifin, was loading shot gun yesterday
afternoon, at his fathers home on Maple
ton hill, when the gun was accidentally
discharged, blowing away the great toe
of his right foot and cutting the foot
badly.
Clay was loading the gun with blank
cartridge and not being thoroughly ac-
quainted with the use of the weapon,
failed to push the primer securely in
place. When clamping the breech the
explosion occurred. The doctor was
summoned and it was found that the
great toe would have to be amputated.
DR.. Gifin states that the loss of the toe
will cause permanent limp. Clay will
not be able to walk again for about three
weeks.
