NEW DEPARTURE.
Bryan and Platform to be Reafirmed
Without a Convention.

Bryan and Platform to be Reaf1rmed
Without a Convention.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-The Posts Wash
ington special says:
From members Of the Democratic
national committee who are now in the
city it is learned that a plan is on foot
to inaugurate a new departure next
time in the method of nominating a
candidate for the presidency. The
scheme is, briefly, this: The Demo-
cratic state conventions will be held as
usual in 1900 for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the national conven-
ton and doing the usual part toward
keeping up the machinery of the party.
The convention will order the dele
gates to meet at once and instruct the
natio aaI committee to re-adopt the
Chicago platform in its entirety and
without changing ii in the minutest
particular The delegates will further
be instructed to direct the national
committee to cast the votes Of the
state delegation for Mr.. Bryan and TO
authorize that gentleman to name his
own running mate.
Unanimous consent to this scheme is
not expected. but an overwhelming
majority is anticipated, and the result
will be no national Democratic conven-
ton. This proceeding is vet three
years distant and many things NAV
happen in three years, but there is no
question about the intention of the
Bryanites to force the denomination
OF the Nebraskan in the manner out
lined

BILL BYNUMs ADDRESS.
Believes That Language is Made to
Conceal Truth.

New York. Nov 23.-W. D. Bynum,
chairman of the national Democratic
committee, today issued the following
address:
Headquarters,
National Democratic Committee,
New York, Nov, %.
To the National Democracy:
The results of the recent election
were in no wise discouraging to the
success of the principles for which the
national Democratic party has been
battling. The silver organizations lost
the states of Ohio and Maryland, with
the legislatures, which will choose
United States senators. In Kentucky
the silver candidate had a majority of
only 123, with $4,000 electors, a major
ity Of whom were unquestionably for
sound money, not voting. The nation
al Democratic vote of the state was
twice as large as it was last year
While the loss in the free silver vote
was 10000
In Iowa the Democratic sound money
vote in both Kentucky and Iowa would
undoubtedly have been much larger
had it not been for the fact that the
names of all the local candidates for
county offices appeared on the ballots
under the free silver state tickets and
emblems, thereby compelling sound
money electors to scratch their tick
cts or vote the free silver ticket in or
der to vote for local officers.
In Massachusetts our vote was in
creased % per cent. While that of the
free silver candidate was reduced in
the same ratio.
In Nebraska the free silver majority
was reduced while South Dakota de-
serted the cause.
The efforts of the national Demo-
cratic organization last year were to
aid in saving the credit of the nation
from dishonor: its mission in the fu-
ture viii be, if possible, to preserve
the true principles of Democracy until
Judgment and reason shall again domi-
nate the councils of the party and its
ancient creed be restored to it's plat
form. Then. and not until th@o. viii
! the work of the national Democratic
party be accomplished and its organi-
eaton cease TO be an independent one
The ffrmer the convictions and the
holder the courage of national Demo
Gratis. the sooner viii the country b.
freed from the blighting influence OF
impending disaster.
NO compromise with dishonor; nc
surrender Of principles to expediency
is the shibboleth of the national Dem
ocracy. and each and every member az
the party should stand by his convic-
tons and redouble his efforts to up
! hold the principles he believes to be in
dlspensable to the preservation of the
rights and properties of the people.

Train in Texas.

Dublin Tex. Nov 23.-An attempt
was made to rob a westbound passen-
ger trai:s on the Rio Grande railroad
at o'clock this morning, about three
miles east of Dublin. AS the train
rounded a curve approaching deep
cut, the engineer observed a pile OF
rock or the track in the middle of the
cut. He reversed his engine, stopping
the train with a jolt. and almost in
stantly had his train in motion again,
backing toward this place The en-
gineer's action was so quick that the
robbers were unable to board the train.
but as the train backed out of their
trap, they opened fire upon the locomo-
tive. The engineer and fireman crouch
ed behind the boiler to avoid the bull
lets. There were four robbers and
they were not masked. When officers
had reached the scene the robbers had

BANK CONSOLIDATION.
Old Institutions Yield to the Survi-

WI OF IIIc SLIOHStoI.
New York Nov. 23.-There were rumors
in the financial districts today to the
effect that several old down town banks
intended to follow the example of the
Third National and United States Ma
tional banks by consolidating with
stronger financial institutions.
According TO these rumors one of the
Oldest banks on lower Broadway is con-
templating consolidation with a newer
and stronger bank. Yet another rumor
heard was to the effect that one of the
Fulton street banks presumably the Full
ton Market National bank, is negotiating
to purchase the accounts of a neighbor-
ing bank. 1t is not unlikely that some
thing may come out of these rumors be-

Edmondson g. Britt.

Let stranger come to town and en-
quire for the best grocery store in town
and the one doing the largest business
and he will invariably be directed to
the store of Edmondson & Britt. There
must be a reason for this extensive
trade, and one does not have to have
any supernatural vision to see that the
cause is to be found in the fair, honest
and prompt treatment by the members
of the firm and their employees. the close
prices at which they sell their goods,
being satisfied to make small profits on
their large sales, and the extensive
stock they carry.
From a small beginning twenty or
more years ago by the senior member
the business of the firm has grown
until the volume of their business is
second to none of any retail grocery
house in Western Arkansas.
Their bakery, one of the finest plants
in Arkansas, is equipped with all the
necessary machinery for turning out the
finest bread and pastry and is in charge
of competent man. Leave your
orders for cakes for the holidays and
you will not be disappointed.
For the holidays people always like
TO have the best in the shape of eatables,
and nowhere can you find a larger
assortment of fresh goods than at the
mammoth store of Edmondson & Britt.

THE TREATY WILL FAIL.
Tw0-thirds Of Senate ito Not Favor
Annexing HnwaiT-It Will Lack
Ten Votes or More.

It Is now practically conceded on all
sides that there are not sufficient
affirmative votes In the United States
senate to ratify the Hawaiian annex.
alton treaty The friends Of the ad-
ministration and of annexation are
seriously concerned rs to the programme
to be followed. This measure will have
to be discussed in open or legislative
session. Senator Morgan says that the
treaty will not be abandoned, and that
there will be no open sessions. The
first skirmish of the fight will be upon
the question of secret debate. Senator
White, of California. who is one of the
most active opponents of annexation,
wants public discussion, and will be
supported by all the anti annexation
lists, who believe that open debate will
help their cause, while many Repub-
lican friends of Hawaii are equally
anxious for public consideration,
because they think that their arguments
will prove convincing.
HOW THE SENATE STANDS.
A careful poll of the senate Shows
that fifty senators will probably vote
for annexation This is-ten less than
two thirds, but eleven more than a
majority. Party lines will be closely
drawn All the Democrats, except
Messrs. Morgan, German and Pettus,
the latter Mr.. Morgan 8 colleague, will
vote against annexation, while on the
Republican side every senator, except

Wellington is now against the treaty,
