he did it, because he hoped it would
cure the disease. He said he had no

form in 1896, for he knew they need
ed it, and like the Dutchman, hoped
it would keep them from ever steal
ing anything else, even votes and
ballot boxes. He said that the only
complaint he had to make against
them now was that they did not steal
all the platform and have the cour-
age and manhood to live up to it af-
ter they had stolen it. He said that
after they had stolen their candidate
and their platform from the Peoples
Party in 1896, they went before the
people of the State and nation max
ing louder professions for free silver
and against monopoly than ever the
Alliance aud Populist speakers had
done. He asked the audience if
Glenn and Aycock and other Demo-
cratic speakers had not come before
them; and not only admitted every
thing that he had said to them in
previous campaigns when they de-
MED it, but had tried to convince the
audience that they had always been
for silver and against monopoly;
that they had tried to speak the same
speeches in 1896 that he had made to
them six years before. Voices all

he, "Vance advised you that
when the goldbugs and monop-
olists captured and controlled the
Democratic party that it was time
for every honest Democrat to walk
out Of the party and leave nothing
but smell of birthstone and Wall
Street behind, knew that the time
had come when the masses of the
Democrats were about to take
Vance's advice and line up with the
Peoples Party, and so they met in
National Convention and instead of
adopting the cid platform they had
attempted to fool the people with for
thirty years, they proceeded to steal
and adopt as. their, own over half
of the Peoples Party platform, that
they not only did this, but they went
over into the ranks Of the Peoples
Party and stole their candidate for
President. He said that he did not
blame them for stealing their candi-
date under such emergency from the
Peoples Party, because they did not
have man in their party who was
half rs good; that he did not blame
them for stealing large part of the
Populist platform and adopting it as
their own, for he said he was by
them like the Dutchman was by the

over the audience: Yes, yes, they
had the genuine Butler ringI. The
speaker then paused for q moment
and surveying his audience said:
''Where are those speakers to-day I
If they were honest in 1896 Why are
they not here to-day helping me to
advocate the same principles now.
Did these Democratic speakers not
tell you two years ago that hard times
were caused by the demonetization
Of silver and the burning up Of your
greenbacksi Did they not tell you
that the control of your money had
been turned over by Congress into
the hands of q lot Of money sharks
known as national bankers, and
that prosperity would never be
restored until you took control
of it from the hands of these
money changers and restored free
silver and greenbacks and in
creased the amount of money each
year with the increase of population

make them pay more tax to the
trusts and monopolies than they pay
to the sheriff. Did they not tell you
that this robbery would never stop,
that these monopolies and trusts
would never be broken up, and that
prosperity would never be restored
until you wiped out this evil legis-
lation, crushed monopoly and trusts,
and restored the money Of the peo-
pie and gave to every man, woman
and child in the nation an equal op-

This shows the inside Of "Bull Pen" from

appointed poll-holders by the Commissioners,
either because they could not read or because
they were "Democratic niggers." See the vote

GEN. MILES AND PORTO RICO.

While Spain, schOoled in diplomacy
and f0rmalities, is preparing her an
swcr to the peace proposition OF Pres
ident Mckinley, General Miles and hts
devoted followers are day after day
winning almost blOodlcss victories.
These %conQuering heroes are welcomed
in every town with acclamations of
JOY and peans Of praise. Already the
American flag floats over more thai,
half of the beautiful island Of Porto
Rico, and soon the whole will be I'M
der its protection. The oppressive
rule of Spain is at an end, prospective
freedom and prosperity elate the
hearts Of those down-trodden people.
May nj nation be equal to her new
and varied responsibilities.
The outlook for Porto Rico just
now Is much fairer than that of Cuba,
but we think the closing year will
bring happier days for "the fair queen
of the Antilles " and then these sister
islands will, together rejoice owe the
mighty changes wrought in the even
ing Of the passing century. May the
laurels won by Miles prove immortal,
and his fame he that If the true Chris
tiau soldier faithful to every RESPONSE
bility.

HON. W. F. LOVE RENOMiNATED.

IL will be seen by reference TO the
proceedings OF the Democratic Con-
g%ressional convention, which conven-
ed at Centreville on the 3rd inst, that
our able and efficient Congressman,
Hon. VIM. +. Love, has been renomi-
mated as the Democratic candidate for
reelection to Congress from this di6-
trict.
The majority OF the Democratic
voters OF this district were so well sat
isfied with the stewardship OF Mr..
Love that no n opposed him, and all
sections OF the district seem well
pleased with him and his work for the
entire district. Truly Mr.. Love has
been the representative OF the entire
district and richly deserves a second
term. He is a Democrat true and
tried, and while Congress is in session
he is always found in his place bat
thing for the principles Of his party
and the interests Of his constituents.
We think our district is in good hands.

NO Reduction Of TIE TAAES.

Petitions numerously signed by the
property owners and taxpayers Of this
county we're presented to the Board of
Supervise S on the first Monday ia
this month, asking for re lucti n If
taxes on the real estate, but the board
bad not the power TO grant the Keller
asked 'Or.
The following is the reply Of the
board to the petitioners
"The petition Of property owners
and taxpayers Of jackson county for
reduction OF the assessment of all
,ealiy in said county une-half, coming
on IT, De heard, ana the b ard having
duly considered Same, and fully lealiz-
ing the greet injustice and injury in
hicted upon Llle pfope 'ty twnerS of
said county by the oppressive, unwar-
raDJed, uni asrnlOle aUd arbit arv
act OF the State Board o. Health, jn
county, during The present summer,
when no yellow fever, nor suspicion
thereof, existed in said county, and
there was no necessity nor occasion
for such action, aud that the result
thereof was almost ruin 'us to the
said petitioners, causing their proper
ty to depreciatc enormously ia value,
their hotels and boarding houses to
languish and close because OF the alb.
sence Of guests, their vacant houses
TO remain u%ntenanted, their usual Oc-
equations and businesses to become
stagnant, and idleness, loss, depres-
sion and distress to prevail generally;
yet, the board not being authorized by
law to act as prayed IN said petitiun,
does hereby Orler that said petition
be refused. which is accordingly done"
We see no hope for the sea coast.
The action Of the State Board OF
Health in putting on quarantine when
there was no yellow fever, nor even a
suspicious case Of sickness, has about
done up our heretofore prosperous
country. and we can't help ourselves.
Must grin and bear 1t.

DR.. John Guiteras, the great yellow
=" x-purt," has returned to his home In
Philadelphia from Santiago de Cuba.
He says the yellow fever cases thus
far have been of u light order, and
that the mortality among the troops
has not been heavy. The most seli-
Gus source OF trouble at present is
from typhoid fever and malaria. As
the season drags on, however, he says
tile yellow fever will become more
serious and then 1t will be worse than
the typhoid.
