announce viii assemble at Soclock |
i" the hall OF the house Of repre-.
stMtUtiv>*. This conference, W hen
hE>: called, contemplated the con.
rl0rr"tlon OF the question Of "sug-
ErsI.nE' candidate for governor
at least. Before tho State Demo
cratic convention there was talk to-
the effect that the convention would
take action looking to the ruling
cut OF ..'Gs.ted' candidates. But
tho "onvvution was held and there
was not the least intimation Of any
such thing.
The prohibitionists have held
their county conventions and in
most Of them delegates to the StNte
conference have already been cho-
sen. Thoro will be some ropresen
tative mon in the body. Of course
none know what the conference
will do, but it is safe to say that i
will adopt platform, and tnat tho
matter Of the suggestion of can
dldnto for governor will DO mos
carefully considered. 1t is no,
believed that y candidate for gov
ernor Mt least will be nNmed.'
1t is tho general impression thu
the prohibitionists have los
ground and that tho forces al
gradually dispensing. Mr.. Featl
crstone's refusal to bo q candidat
again for governor, it is said, he
disheartened somo Of tho follower
Of that cause and has given grounG
for the above bolief 1t is cortal
that the same interest in man
counties has not been shown j
this campaign 80 far. In Picker
county it was difficult to get a qu'
rum to transact business, and it
doubtful whether ali tho delegate
elected will attend tho State con
fcroncc. J. e. Boggs, b. j. John
ston and r. T. Smith wore olccte,
and only Mr.. Boggs was present q
tho County conference.
Tho fact, that the prohibition
party is in doubt about the mem
Der for q State ticket, shows weak
ness and looks like an offer t,
surrender. If they mean business
they ought TO organize thorough,
and f5ht for everything in sight
The indications in tho late State
Dem ocratic Convention did yer,
strongly impress an ordinary oh
server, that the leading prohjbi
tionists are being gradually absor'
bed by tho former dominant fac.

TRUE TO ITS PRINCIPLES.

Eastern republican newspapers
are making their fight on the DEM
ocratic party because it still advo>
Gates free coinage of silver.
Western republican newspapers,
notably in Colorado, allege that the
democratic party is lodging the
issue and will not reaffirm the Chi
cago platform of 1896 as to silver.
1t is certain that neither set Of
newspapers will knowingly tell the
exact truth. They ring the changes
to suit the prejudices Of their own
sections.
One thing, however, may be set
down true as holy writ, and that
is that the party, east, west, north
and south, is tor Bryan, and Bryan
is for silver, and that the Chicago
platform will stand as it was.
The republicans have burned
their last bridge behind them. Even
that elusive and elastic word "bi>
metallism," which has done yeo-
man service in the past to cover
republican duplicity, has been
erased from their financial creed.
That party stands, uncovered and
unashamed, the confessed consort
Of pampered plutocracy and bloated
bondholders.
The democratic party stands
where it always has stood. Its
principles do not change with each
passing breeze. Whoever believes
in adhering to the double standard
of gold and silver will find the
democratic party true to the old
time faith. Those who choose to
vote for the single standard OF gold,
for party which has broken faith
with its own country and tied
itself to old world dogmas, will
ally themselves with the republican
column.

ALLIES USE DYNAMITE,
Continued from first page.

Times and other papers yesterday had articles
angrily denouneing Ii, and suggesting that no
notice should be taken OF him. The aged Vice
roy is profoundly distrusted by what may be
called the Anglo-Chinese colony here, which is
not without influence on the Foreign Office. 1t
is urged that there is no proof that Ii is not
playing for his own hand, rather than genuinely
endeavoring to extricate China from her diff
hculties. His influence has for some time past
been overshadowed by the violent reactionary
Manchu party, and he may now be trying to
get even with his enemies; or, again, II he Is
volunteering his services the Powers may find
that as soon as peace is patched up and the
allied contngents withdrawn Ii will be
pudiated, as has happened before on the ground
that he has exceeded his authority. II is also
said, though am not aware that specific proofs
have ever been adduced for the allega-
ton, that Ii dslikes England more than
any other European nation. and has more
