Silver Candidates,

In answer to the call published
in our last issue, about thirty solid
and substantial silver men met in
the village hall on the evening of
the 23rd to nominate ticket for the
coming village election.
The meeting was called to order
by Councilman Purtill, whose
name appeared at the head of the
list of signers to the call for the
meeting.
J. M. Cowen was elected as chair
man, and A. M, Sinnott secretary.
Several gentlemen present were
proposed as candidates for the vii
lage council, but upon showing good
reasons were permitted to decline
the honors.
The following ticket was nomi-
nated unanimously for trustees,
J. A. Purtill, j. NJ. Cowen, w. s.
Galloway, J. l.. Tate and ] D. Ru-
disill.
A village central committee was
appointed consisting of the follow
ing members. NJ. Cowen, A. M.
Sinnott, DR.. B. B. Swan, NJ l.
Davis and Judged. S. White. This
committee was authorized to fill
any vacancy on the ticket which
might occur before the day of cleo
ton.
The utmost harmony prevailed
throughout the meeting
The ticket is a good one, every
man on it being placed there with
out any solicitation on his part.
and having the good of the village
as his purpose.
Messrs. Purtill and Tate are serv-
ing most creditably on the present
board. The other three gentlemen
are we'll known honest business men,
Mr. Cowen being in the furniture,
Mr.. Galloway in the coal and grain
and Mr.. Rudisill in the freighting
and forwarding business.
The affairs of the village under
the able management of the pres
ent silver board have prospered and
substantial improvements are visi-
BILE everywhere, and as the gentle
men nominated to succeed the pres
ent members will work on the same
lines, every voter who has the in
terest Of our little city at heart,
should on election day vote for Pur-
till, Tate, Cowen, Galloway and
Rudisill.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March II, 1900
Hon Geo. Ainslie, Boise, Idaho My Dear Sir
In reference to favor Of the 9TH instant, which
Just received hasten to say that it is Of the great
est Importance that all the ipotical organizations in
your state opposed to republicansm should harmon
ize sincerely hope, therefore, that at the meeting
OF the Democratic, Populist and Silver Republican
organizations the 22d OF this month that such
steps will be taken insure the OF every man
connected with either organization for the platform
and nominees OF the Democratic party in July next
and against the election OF Mr.. Mckinley with his
in favor OF standing army imperialism, fos.
ter and encouragement to trusts and the establish
ment Of the gold standard Those who are not
against Mr.. Mekialey are for him. and there can be
no doubt that all who earnestly oppose what he
stands for will be ready TO subordinate any minor
difference to thorough and effective organization
for his defeat That Mr. Bryan will be the standard
bearer Of the opposition to Mr.. Mckinley is well
known to everyone, that he is thoroughly in sym.
pathy with the people all these issues there is
doubt in the mind OF any man vi int gence. Under
these circumstances l most earnestly urge thor.
ough and complete union OF forces in this great
struggle Very truly yours, JAS. *. JONES.
Just before the meeting adjourned
resolution was adopted requesting
county conventions not to pledge
their delegates to the state conyen'
ton to any man for office.

The Silver Republican committee
allowed the apportionment of 1898
to stand as the apportionment of
the party for the Pocatello conven-
ton.
The democratic meeting, which
was largely attended and very en-.
thusiastic as we'll as harmonious,
was presided over by Hon. John
HALEY, chairman of the committee
During the early hours OF the
labors of the committee, the follow
ing letters were read:
AUSTIN, Texas March TO- 1900
Ainse: | glad to learn that there good pros
poets for cooperation between the Democrats Silver
Republicans and Populists OF your state. By coop
GRAFTON Idaho carried IN 1896, and the question
which brought the reform parties together then have
not yet been settled The vicious tendencies which
have in the past led the Silver Republicans and the
Popnlsts to separate themselves from the republican
party are still more marked now aud the subSerYi.
ency Of the republican party to organized wealth l.
more marked now than ever before. In 1896 some Of
the republicans were deceived by the promise of in
ternational bimetaIisn, but now that promise
longer deceive. Certainly no Silver Republican can
90 back to the republican party when the repub
lean leaders attempting to make the gold stand
ard permanent and yet confess the failure Of the
gold standard by the senate amendment which seeks
to revive the hope of international bimetaisn. Nc
Populist who believes that the government ought To
issue money will help the republican party when
that party is endeavorng to retire the greenbacks in
the interest OF national bank issue. The reform
forces stood together in 1896 in their effort to
financial independence; they ought to stand together
now when, in addition to financial independence wI
have to fight for industrial independence, endan
gered by the trusts, and for the Declaration OF Indie
pendence itself, which is threatened by imperialism

idency further now than to say that |
assume that the candidate nominated for
Vice President will be in harmony with
the platform. The Vice President not
only presdes over the Senate while the
President is alive, but assumes the office
of President in case of the Presidents
death, and it is hardly probable that dele
gates to a national convention would
write platform and then select for either
place on ticket a man who repudiates
the platform.
"No one worthy to be considered for
such an Office would accept nomination
on a platform repugnant to his views
on any present issue. In every CAM
paign, men support ticket without APP
proving all of the platform, but no one
can defend platform unless he believes
in it. Many tariff reform gold Demo-
Gratis supported the Republican ticket
four years ago, although they dsseLted
from the protection plank. But the Re-
publican convention would not have non-
mated tariff reformer upon a protection
platform. There is sometimes joint de-
bate between candidates on opposing
tickets, but not between candidates on
the same ticket"

Young TazeweIl Man Killed.

A very unfortunate accident occurred at
Vivian, w. Va, on last Saturday night,
by which Mr.. J. w. Gillespie, Tazewell
boy, instantly lost his life. He was
brakeman on the Pocahontas Division OF
the N. & w., and was engaged in coupling
cars. No one was present when the accl-
dent occurred and he was dead when
found. He had been caught between the
bumpers and the coupling link had been
driven through his body just about the
waist. His remains were brought to Taze-
we'll on No. Is Sunday morning, and were
accompanied by delegation from the b.
r. T., of which order he was member.
The gentlemen who acted as such escort
were : Messrs. j. ID. Gregg. F. A. Fran
cisco, George l. Smith, George Galloway
and Nj. l.. Wing6eld When the remains
arrived ct Tazewel the brotherhood pur-
chased handsome casket, in which the
body was placed, and then conveyed to
the home of the father of the deceased,
MIR. T. Ii. Gillespie, at Unaka, four miles
east of town.
The burial took place at Concord bury
ing ground on Monday morning, services
having previously been conducted at the
he use by Rev. w. H. Kelly. Appropriate
services were held at the grave by Rev
Philip Johnson.
The deceased was about twenty-five
years old and was an industrious and
worthy young man. He was held in high
esteem by all who knew him and great
sympathy is felt for his bereaved parents
and relatives.

Mr.. BRYAN'S FORECAST.
Platform PIanks That He Thinks Are
Sure to Be Adopted.

Lincoln, Neb., June 25.-William Jen-
nings Bryan returned today from his
Wisconsin fishing trip, and will remain
here until after the Democratic national
convention. He said he had been placed
in wrong position by some one who
had presumed to outline his plan Of CAM
paign.
"Anv statements made by anybody in
regard to campaign plans are without
foundation or authority" he added. "No
plans have been made by me, nor by
any one for me, and no plans will be
made until after the convention has
been held"
MIR. Bryan was asked whether be could
sav anything in regard to the platform to
be adopted at Kansas City. He re-
piled:
"No one, of course, can say what Ian
euage will be used in setting forth the
party principles. But some idea can be
! ODtdln6u as W lil6 RChOio 81 VShNi u WV
platform from the platforms adopted in
the State conventions. AS large MAORI
ty of the delegates have been elected by
conventions which reaffirmed the Chicago
platform, it is safe to assume that the
Kansas City platform will reafirm the
Chicago platform, and it will contain
nothing which can be construed as sur
render or modification Of the platform on
the old issues.
"It is equally certain that there will be
strong and definite plank against imper'
ialism, which will be clear and explicit
Militarism will be denounced and sympa'
thy expressed for the Beers. This much
is evident from what has already taken
place."
Asked if there was any truth in the
rumors that a candidate for Vice Presi'
dent will be chosen whose views on the
money question will be attractive to those
who opposed the ticket in 1896, Mr.
Bryan replied:
"I do not care to discuss the Vice Pres

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

One of the burning questions of the
dav is, what will the Powers do with
China?
There is very good prospect of wheat
reaching the dollar mark in short while.
If it does how will Mr.. Bryan present his
theories about the intimate relation that
exists between wheat and silver?
The Lynchburg News says: ut cannot
be denied that the Philadelphia conven'
ton has named a strong ticket" That is
the verdict of the entire Democratic press.
1t is not only strong, but clean and
winning ticket.
A failure of the wheat crop is predicted
by Snow, the crop expert. He estimates
that there will be falling of of l25, 900
bushels in the crops Of the two Dakotas
and Minnesota as compared with the crops
of last year. This report is likely to ad'
vance the price of wheat.
President Kruger, it is reported, is will
ing to surrender to the British and bring
the war to conclusion upon the condition
that be is permitted to remain in the
Transvaal. 1t is pity he did not have
the good judgment to accept such terms
without going to war with Great Britain.
Four years ago, when the Presidential
candidates were nominated, wheat was
54 cents bushel in Chicago, and the
price varied but little during the memora'
BILE campaign of that year. Now, just
after McKinley's denomination, wheat is
"a cents bushel in Chicago. We Won
der what Billie Bryan thinks about it
The Lynchburg News in speaking OF Mr.
Hanna's reelection as chairman of the
Republican party Gays : 1T is not likely
that he will be as successful this year in
collecting large campaign fund as he was
four years ago." He will not need as large
campaign fund, but, judging from the way
those three delegates from Utah contrib
uted, he can get money to burn if he wants
| it.
Governor Tyler, of Virginia, is the on
ly person we have heard of who has ex-
pressed the opinion that Governor Roose'
welt will be drawback to the success OF
the Republican ticket. The Governor
also says: Somehow or other l can
not rid myself of the belief that the Dem
ocrats are going to win this year. The
Governor enjoys the reputation of being
man of very >sanguine temperament
hence his delusion as to the weakness Of
Roosevelt, and greater delusion as to the
chances fol- Bryanism.
The Richmond Times thinks Mr.. Nc
Xinley ought to send out special request
to the negro voters of the South not to
vote for him. No more absurd suggestion
was ever made by our erratic but esteemed
contemporary. Can anything be more
ridiculous than to think of Presidential
candidate telling any class of voters, 81
don't want you to vote for me-" That
would not only be strange politics, but
political madness. Even MIR. Bryan would
not be guilty of such folly, if he did invite
the gold Democrats to ignore him in 1896

THE TROOPS IN CUBA.
Stems Soon to Be Taken to Bring Some
of them Home.

Washington, June 25.-As soon as Sec
retary Root returns to this city early next
week, final arrangements will be made
for the withdrawal of as many troops as
can be spared from further service In Cu'
ba. 1t has been estimated that about
one.half of the troops can safely DE
brought home within the next few
months. Nothing will be settled as to
which regiments shall come until after
Secretary Root returns to the city. There
is an impression, however, that the Fiitn
Infantry, stationed principally in the de-
partment of Santiago, will be the trsl
Cuban regiment to return to the Unltec
States, and that the Eighth Infantry
stationed in the same department, vii
follow soon after.
The return of these troops to the Unltee
States will enable the War Department tC
carry out its plan of sending troops iron
this country to the Philippines to tak'
the place of the volunteer army, which
must be brought home and discharged by
June 80, 1901.
