THE Silver Republican National
Convention probably will Ice held in
the same city as The Democratic Con
ventiOn, and during the same week
and unless present signs fail, the fusion
of 1896 will be repeated. and every
Western State that went for Bryan in
1896 will repeat it in 1900, nOtwithstand
ing the Republican cry to the contrary.
At the meeting in Chicago last week of
the Executive COMMITTEES of the Silver
Repu blicans the determination of the
Silvertes to keep the Democrats
s raight on the money question was
shown by ex Congressman Towne,
Chairman of the Committee, who re

"'rhe mission of the Silver Republi-
cans is TO bring the Democrats and
Populists together and, acting as a
club, to keep them true to the princi-
cles of 1895"

Mr.. Belmont, the owner of The Yer
dict, is said to be very close to Mr..
Bryan, and is slated for Ambassador to
England OF a Cabinet position in case
Bryan is elected. These rumors are
waited along by the political wiseacIes,
but those Who are close to Mr.. Belmont
claim that be is wholly unselfish in this
movement. II is an omen worthy Of
the deepest thought that very wealthy
man, one of the members of the sacred
inner circle, comes out definitely as an
enthusiastic adherent of the Chicago
platform.
While its political program will at
tract many readers, there are other
good points in The Verdict that are
sure to draw readers. The stories OF
Wolfville and the far West by Lewis,
the clever illustrations, straight from

aside the will of the majority.
The attorney argued that the election
had been declared null and VOID on the
technicality that three districts hau
Jointly voted upon it, Union ana blils,
ton against license, Richmond IorJ ana
the county Election Commission held
that the election for three districts was
illegally called; that the Court oil Ag-
peals having decided that whose
county or district can not override one
precinct; in other words, that eaclt
precinct, as a unit Of the county, shall
govern itself. Therefore, as the NC
Creary precinct at said election had
voted for license, 1t legally could De
and should be governed accordingly,
and that license should be granted
there.
Responding Judge Million used this
language: 1.-The Court holds that Union
district, like others, is divided into two
precincts for the convenience OF the
| people who elect one magistrate, and
are Jointly and mutually affected by his
acts, etc. will not thwart the eX-
pressed will of the people there or
elsewhere, upon technically. i over

This first decision of the new Judge.
singularly enough, was upon a ques-
ton which more than any other en-
tered into the minds OF the people dur
ing the recent canvass for the Office.
! Mr.. Million, by some, was supposed to
have pledged himself to grant these
tavern licenses in event of his election,
/ M o1f n
his decision. 1t is needless TO say that
his position as allowed defined will
meet with the approval not only OF the
people of Union but with majority Of
the citizens of the county. In subse-
quent interview, Judge Million said
that wherever the people by a majority
/ have expressed their wishes he would
be governed accordingly. Further
more, that before he would grant Ii
cense elsewhere it would require a pre-
ponderance of evidence showing that
such license will be acceptable TO the
people.
1t is understood that Geo. E. Edwards
had similar petition ready for filing
for license in the same precinct, but
decided it was useless to present it.
The Judge will be given another test
upon this subject when George Bent
ley applies for license to sell liquor at
or near Boonesborn, which. we believe,
is in precinct that has not voted on
| license.
