Gold Democrats TO Go TO the Republicans
Democrats to Stick to Silver


Pottsville, Pa, Oct. IA letter
bearing on political conditions generally
from Senator Teller has been received
by William Wilhelm, representative OF
| the Republican Silver party in thisooun
ty. Among other things Teller says:
Il have never said thought there was
| little hope for bimetallism. That is one
| of the many falsehoods OF the gold pa
pers. l have said there was no hope Of
| 1t under the Mckinley administration,
and I am confident that nothing will be
done for the plain people OF the country
| during this administration. 1 have no
| interest in the fight between fanlmany
| and the Republicans. do not hope for
| Georges election, although it would
please me greatly If he could be. The
| election Of Tammany viii not indicate
that the Democratic party Of the coun-
try is going to abandon silver
| The Democratic party is committed
to silver. and will continue on that line.
| ard the gold Democrats VIII go 20 the
| Republican party. and under the inf,u-
| enee of the gold Democrats II will de-
| grade and debase the party to such an
| extent as to make the old liberty-loviry
Republicans leave II. I expect To see
| the Republican party in the hands OF
the gold Republicans and the gold DEM
ocrats. and under the domination ard
control of the worst element ever in
American politics.
Il do not care what your Penrsyl-
raria platform says about the Der
Cspita circulation. Governor Hastings
ard an the Republican leaders of your
state underetand that platform was
made to get into office on. and / expect
10 see the influence of your st ,tc given
and that Of your senator's and members
Of congress brought to bear on con-
greSs to retire the greephack. and
treasury notes and let the banks AMI
bankers Of the country issue whatever
paper money they think the country
needs, and that issue will then be deter
mined by the interest Of the banks and
bankers and not the interest of com
merce or the people. The fight for sil-
Yer is still on. and will be until we get a
righteous monetary system, and that We
rever viii have until we get open min;s
; for gold and silver at a rate TO be es-

In this respect. They claim that Bryan
has declined to come in response to an
invitation from Tammany, and this thev
claim is practically triumph for Henry
George. If Bryan were asked to come
in the interests of Henry George and
should refuse the Georgeites argue that
II would reduce them to the level of
Tammany in Bryan's estimation "Of
course" said a prominent member Of
the committee, If Mr.. Bryan decides to

STOLE FLOWERS FROM GRAVES
A Raleigh Clerk Accused of Very Sc
riouS Offense

For long time-tw0 or three years
complaints have been made by owners of
plots in the cemetery that some person
was stealing the flowers from the graves
placed there by the hands of those who
mourned the departed.
Rewards have been offered for the ,ap-
prehension and conviction of the guilty
parties, but nothing ever came of it, and
the flower stealing went on undated
Some property owners hired guards and
placed them near their plots. Only near
that spot did the thieving cease. Nobody
was ever brought to justice for the crime
One time last year-on Il Sunday af-
ternoon-one guard caught a young man
and young lady cutting flowers from a
plot. The guard interfered. The man
pretended to grow indignant and the wo-
man claimed that the plot belonged to
her family. Believing this story the
guard released them. Later. when he
found he had been imposed upon. he could
he had been imposed upon, he could
not identify either of the parties. an6
the work of dissertation went on.
This year it began earlier than usual
and in Il more thorough manner Newly
made graves Were robbed of all their
floral offerings: growing flowers were
deprived of their blossoms or pulled up
and carried away. Nothing seemed too
sacred for the touch of the dasecrator,
Owners of plots in the cemetery were
panied and Infatuated by the persistent
outrage.
Men Were again hired to watch the
property and Saturday evening one, at
least, Of the guilty persons, was caught.
He was taken red-handed in the work
of ecTation-snipping flowers from
the graves with his scissors His pockets
were also found to lee filled with bios
SONS
His name is said to be Parrott Such a
man has been employed here fog years
by certain stores as sort of clerk and
solicitor on the streets of country trade.
Though now more than 2l years old. he
is an orphan, and came here from the
Oxford Orphan Asylum. Up to this time
he has borne a good reputation. He has
been very economical and all his savings
have been put in bank. Why he should
take flowers from Il cemetery no one can
surmise.
The men who say they saw PARROT take
flowers and made him disgorge his peck
cts had no authority to arrest him, so he
was released, and not until yesterday
morning was the matter reported to the
police. Then PARROT could not be found.
The people at the store at which he work
ed said they had not seen him during the
day, and they had reason to believe he
had left town.
The people Of Raleigh are incensed at
the work of dissertation in the cemetery
for so long time. and If PARROT is
proved guilty, it will go badly with him,
as there is good reason to believe that
this is not his first offense of this kind.
In addition to these grave yard thefts,
private yards and flower gardens are also
being Systematically robbed by flower
thieves

ANOTHER PARDON GRANTED.

Governor Russell yesterday pardoned
James Chambers, convicted at the spring
term, 1892, Of Iredell Cuperior court.
OF secret assault. In granting this par
don. the Governor gave the following as
his reasons for so doing: ''In this case
it appears by the letter of the trial judge
that he first sentenced the prisoner to
two years aud thought that this was
sufficient, but before the adjournment Of
the court he made it six years, in order to
allay public excitement and prejudice
which existed against the prisoner. In
March, 1894, the Judge urged, in strong
est terms, the pardon. But for the pref
udicc against the prisoner, | infer from
the evidence he would not have been sent
to States prison at all. The pardon
is recommended by Hon. W. NJ. Robbins,
Hon. l.. c. Caldwell Col. S. A. Sharpe,
Judge Furches and large numbers Of 9th
ers. The prisoner has already served
some three years longer than the trial
judge thought ought to be inflicted
upon min.
