Emercld's Event.

Quite number of people were present
last evening at the spacious quarters of
the Central Garden Club in the Fifth

hop of the Emeralds. The grounds

lanterns, and dancing was continually
in order to music furnished by Prof.
Killmeyer During the evening there
was a pyrotechnical display which was
in charge of a special committee and
the Glorious Fourth was most fitting
ly ushered in by the popular organiza-

Justice Rogers is angry. Last night
he talked thuswise:
II he finance committee of the Board
of Commissioners turned down my base
ball bills. The people raised a cry to
hold them for the grand jury. and that
body did not prosecute them. Judge
Hervey ruled in the Gillespie cases that
the county must pay the justice fees.
In the face of this ruling, they turned
my fee bills down, which shows they
want to injure me financially.
They said they wished to consult the
Prosecuting Attorney on the first bills of
sent in. They have now had thirty days
so far.
In the face of what they are doing
| have decided not to be a candidate for
reelection. There is nothing in the Of
flee for me in the way of finances as
long as my bills are turned down, by
the men, too, whom | helped to elect
This is the best evidence that l care
nothing for the Office.
They counted me out in Center at
the county election. But I've got a
proxy, and they'll hear from me in
Charleston. I'll vote for Arnold Scherr
for Auditor to the last ditch, if he don't
get another vote in the convention
The only way they'll keep my vote out
is by ruling that proxies don't go, and
that is what we want, as Hall will suf-
more in that case than Scherr."

and that Congress never possessed
power to demonitize either
Until recent years the Republican
party favored bimettalism. Its plat
FORM utserances will show this. Mr.
Mckinley voted Cor free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio OF six
teen to one. He also voted for the
Stanley Matthews resolution, which
was a measure in favor of the people
and bimettalism. President Mckinley
denounced Mr.. Cleveland because he.
Cleveland. was seeking to discredIt
silver. Mr.. Elkins was leading BIZ
mettalist few years since. The gold
standard established by law by our
Republican Congress is the very policy
which that party so vociferously de-
nounced few years since.
Trusts naturally belong the the Re-
publican party. They luxuriate and
flourish under the trust fostering and
