THE GOLD STANDARD.

We renew our allegiance to the prin-
ciples OF The gold standard and declare
our confidence in the wisdom OF the
legislation OF the fifty-sixth congress
by which the parity of all our, money
and the stability of our currency upon
gold basis has been secured. We
recognize that interest rates are potent
factors in production and business ac-
tivity. and for the purpose of further
equaliZing and of further lowering the
rates OF interest we favor such mo-
mentary legislation as Will enable
the varying OF the season and OF all
sections TO be promptly met in order
that trade may be evenly sustained.
labor steadily employed and commerce
enlarged. The volume OF money In cir
culation was never so great, per capita,
as IL is today. We declare our stead
fast opposition to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. No measure
to that end could be considered which
WAS without the support OF ten leading
commercial countries OF the world.
However firmly Republican legislation
may seem TO have secured the country
against the peril OF base and discredited
president could not fail 10 impair the
country's credit and to bring once more
into question the intention of the Amer

be convinced that the American people
will never tolerate the Chicago plat

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, August s.
Hundreds of delegates from all over the
Second Congressional district met here
to-day to nominate a Democratic can
didate to succeed A G. Dayton, the Re-
publican incumbent in the halls Of the
lower house of Congress.
Delegates began to arrive yesterday
evening, and when the convention was
called to order at IL a. m. to-day, the
Central Opera House was crowded.
Seldom was such enthusiasm shown at
a congressional convention.
The convention was called to order
by w. B. Cornwell, chairman of the
Congressional Committee, and he re-
ported that the executive committee
had selected Col. Forrest w. Brown, CT
Charles Town, and Jas. E. Mccoy, oil
Taylor county, as temporary chairman
and secretary of the convention.
Col. Brown accepted in a neat speech,
that aroused the convention to wild
cheers.
At the meeting Of the convention
after dinner, Hon. ]. ]. Cornwell, Of
Romney, and G. W. Boyer, of this city,
were selected as permanent chairman
and secretary.
The Following Platform
was adopted:
This convention adopts and re-
affirms as its platform of principles
the platform and resolutions adopted
by the Democratic State convention at
Parkersburg, Juae 9th, 1900, and the
platform and resolutions adopted by
the Democratic National convention in
Kansas City, Mo-, on July 4th, 1900.
And we condemn the course Of A.
G. Dayton, the Congressman from tbs
district, who has shown his inefticiency
in Congress and has misrepresentcd
the people and interests of this district,
and who has made himself especially
conspicuous in the support of mea-
sures before Congress that were in the
interest of trusts and combinations OF
the country as against his coDstitu-
ency."
The convention then listened to a
speech by Hon. John H. FIolt, the nom
inee for Governor. When he arose the

WASHINGTON August S.-The
gravest apprehensions are felt here In
official circles for the safety Of the i'm
prisoned ministers at Pekin.
The alleged statement of Ii Hung
Chang that it is absolutely impossible
for the allies to enter Pekin to escort
the ministers to Tien Tsin, adds great
ly to the seriousness of the situation.
1t clearly implies the purpose Of the
Chinese government to resist the adj
vance movement of the allied forces TO
the full extent of its power, coupled
with the further implication that fur
Their hostile demonstrations on the part
of the allies may jeopardize the lives
of the ministers.
So far as is known there is no pre-
sent purpose of calling halt in the al
lied movement against Pekin. 1t is
acknowledged that the relief column is
not strong enough to maintain war
against the Chinese kingdom for any
great length of time, but heavy REIN
forcements are en- route to China.
Their arrival on the scene may alter
the situation entirely and bring the
obstinate orientals to their senses.
1t is the present situation, however,
that worries the administration and
there is general chagrin that it is not in
position to enforce it's demands and
bring the Chinese authorities to in
slant terms.
In the course of the next two
mon his there Will be about 5000 Amer
lean troops on Chinese soil, not count
ing many thousands more that could
be transferred from the Philippines in
case of necessity.
The Chinese will be held to a strict
| accountability for any injury that may
be sustained by American interests in
the present crisis. What should be
done for the immediate relief of the
ministers is the problem now confront
ing the administration, and is the sub
ject of anxious conferences between
the officials in this city and Geographic
correspondence with the President at
Canton and the secretary of state at
Sunapee, N. X.
Acting Secretary Adee received q
cable message this morning from Con-
sui Goodnow at Shanghai, giving the
latest information In his possession in
regard to the situation in China, in
Guiding the operations of the allied
forces engaged in the advance on Pc
kin.
1t was referred to the secretary OF
war, and was not made public.
The following brief dispatch was re-
ceived to-day at the navy department
from Rear Admiral Remey, command
ing the naval forces in Chinese waters:

FRANCE AND RUSSIA
Have All They Can Do without
Sending Reinforcements to China.


LONDON, August s.-The cipher des-
patch from the British minister at Pekin.
Sir Claude Macdonald, received at the
British foreign office this morning and
read in the House of Commons to-day
by the parliamentary secretary for the
foreign office, Mr.. Broderick, announcing
that the members of the legation were
holding out five days ago, is taken with
the admiralty's announcement that the
Chinese have been defeated and are re-
treating before the allies. as making the
outlook rather more cheerful to-day than
since Admiral Seymour's unsuccessful
expedition.
The Russians hard fighting on the
Siberian frontier. the difficulties of their
position on the Lioa Tung peninsula and
the prospect of a revolt against France
in 1ndo-China will probably prevent
either power from sending reinforce
ments 70 the allies operating against
Pekin. Hence the United States. Great
Britain. Germany and Japan will have
to carry out the military programme
without any more troops from Russia or
France
Yokohama advices say dispatches re-
ceived from Seoul affirm that a Corean
cabinet will be organized TO unite the
factions and that the Corean emperor is

minutes before he could proceed. He
dwelt particularly upon the anti-im-
perialistic plank in the Kansas City
platform, and dwelt particularly upon
the fact that If the constitution was
once oyerridden then it could be done
again. He referred several times 70
the
Administration of Mark Hanna

the Wall street magnate to the detri-
ment or those of the poorer people. He

Stuart w. Walker. of this county, who
has been so favorably mentioned in
connection with the nomination, placed
the name of Col. Thomas B. Davis. OF
keyser. Mineral county, before the con-
vention. The name was seconded by
w. B. Cornwell, of Hampshire county.
The nomination was made unanimous,
and committee composed of Messrs.
Cunningham, of Hardy; Keller, OF
Hampshire, and King. of Randolph
was appointed TO escort Col. Davis to
the convention.
Col. Davis, when escorted to the plat
form, stated that he was not a speaker
that his training in that regard had
been neglected. but that as a business
proposition he was in the race and
would win.
Melville Peck, OF Barbour, named
for Presidential elector Samuel V.
Woods, of Barbour county, and E. S.

Before the roll of counties had been

purpose. He thanked the convention
for the honor. and pledged to work
hard and faithful for the entire ticket.
