MISS MARY DoLAN's ROMANCE
Wealthy Merchant, Of Norfolk. Va.
Will Marry the Pretty Nurse.

Miss Mary Delan, OF Washington,
ID. c., who formerly attended school
here and who frequently visits ClarkS-
burg relatives, will shortly be married
to Mr., John Moran, of Norfolk, Va, a
wealthy merchant. There is quite a
romance connected with their ac-
auaintance and courtslip.
Miss Dolan became professional
nurse and "a Sister of Mercy, and in
due course of time went to Norfolk,
Virginia, where she entered hospital
to minister to the sick and the
afflicted.
About one year ago, fire started IN
the hospital at Norfolk. II was a
fatal conilagration to the building and
TO many people in it, whose escape
was cut OF by fierce flames. MISS
Dolan was caught in the building, and
finding escape impossible, jumped from
a window To the ground, sustaining
serious but not fatal injuries. She
was among the first to recover, ana
went Immediately to work to nurse
Others who had been injured in the
lamentable diastcr.
Among the number, was John
Moran, a wealthy merchant OF Nor
folk, who volunteered in the work OF
rescuing the the occupants OF the big
building, when the flames were de-
stroying it. He had performed heroic
services at the fire, but was severely
injured. He was one OF those whose
injuries did not heal for long time,
and Miss Dolan was assigned to nurse
him.
For many weeks Moran fingered be-
tween this life and the life beyond.
With careful nursing, he began TO re.
cover, and in the passing of time was
a we'll man again. He was deeply in
debted to his fair nurse and friend-
ship sprang up between them that
ripened into the golden fruits of love.

BRYAN AND FREE SILVER.
Philadelphia Press

Philadelphia Press.
There is much hurrying to and fro these
days among the Democrats. Interviews
with Bryan, Croker, Hill, Jones and other
leaders of the party are as thick as black
berries in July The attitude the Democ'
racy is likely to take on great questions OF
the hour is stated again and again. Free
silver, trusts and anti.imperialism, social
ed, are threshed over so often that there is
danger that the party will have nothing
left to say on these questions when the
campaign begins.
But amid all the turmoil one fact cannot
be obscured. And that is Mr.. Bryan's
adherence to free silver and the Chicago
platform. He will admit of no wavering,
no obscuring Of these issues. He marches
straight forward toward the goal set before
him. In ell his utterances he shows no
sign of weakening. His interviews have
no other tone but this. The prayers Of
those Democrats who belive in gold but
are too weak to break with their party
have no effect upon him. The petition Of
the puny band Of anti.imperialists is pass
ed by in silent contempt. his attitude
becomes frmer as the day Of bis nomina.
ton draws nearer. He will admit Of no
compromise, no deviation from the path
marked out in Chicago four years ago
when he, an almost unknown man, step.
ped to tie front on platform demanding
the free coinage Of silver.
No one can study Mr.. Bryan's attitude
and not admit that under the circum-
stances it is the wisest and most polite he
could take. The first sign Of wavering on
his part would demoralize the party which
for four years has stood at his back. 1t
rallied at his demand for free coinage Of
silver at the ratio Of 16 to ]. 1t has re-
NAMED true, in the main, to that principle
in defeat and disaster. Those who voted
for Mr.. Bayan in 1896 but will not sup.
port him in 1900 cannot be won back by
any retreat on biz part on the currency
question. Such a backsliding would lose
him thousands of votes where it would
gain him tens. 1t would be demoraliEa-
ton, sure and final. And Mr.. Bryan rec.
ognizes the fact. Standing as he does in
the shadow of certain defeat he is never
theless wiser in clinging to free silver than
those who advise him to sound a retreat.

The rain over here is harder than any

WHO WANTS A CHANGE .

A great clamor is being set up by the
BrYanite politicians about what the people
want and need, as if the general public ID
not satisfied with the business conditions
that now exist, and not pleased with the fu'
ture prospects of the country. The clamor
is false one, and we venture to say that
there never was such universal satisfaction
among the people of the United States as
is now found,
There is really but one dissatisfied class
the politicians who happen to be on the
wrong side. The producers and consumers,
the men who work and add to the wealth
of nation are more than satisfied with
existing conditions. And why shouldn't
they be
Among the working classes no such op.
portunities, in any period of our history,
have been seen for labor. No difficulty is
experienced by skilled or unskilled labor
in securing permanent and remunerative
occupation. 1t is no longer a question
with the workingman as to where and
how he Nill find work, but from the many
situations that can be secured which shall
be chosen, which will be the most agree
able. The man who now suffers or per-
mits his family to suffer for lack Of food, is
either a drone or is unable from physical
causes to work.
With the farmers most happy condi'
ton prevails. 1t is not where can we find
market for our surplus products, but
how can we produce enough to supply the
good markets that are calling upon us
both at home and abroad.
So it is with the manufacturer, with the
railroad capitalists, with men in all lines
of trade. Everything is lovely. The only
thing to consider is, how can it be made to
last ?
We apprehend that the politicians and
calamity howlers will have rather slim
chance to excite the prosperous and happy
people of this nation into the belief that
a change is needed or ought to be made.
McKinleyism has been tried, and times
are all that can be asked. Organism is an
experiment that would surely bring DIS
aster, if tried.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION CALL

The Republicans Of the Ninth Congress.
ional District of Virginia are hereby called
to assemble in District Convention at
Wise Courthouse, Virginia, on Wednes-
day, the LIST day of August, 1900, at 1?
O'Clock M, to nominate a candidate for
Congress, to elect FIVE members of the
State Committee, District Chairman, and
to transact such other business as may
come before the convention; aud all voters
regardless of past party affiliations, who
believe in Republican principles and en-
dorse the Republican policy, are cordially
invited to unite under this call to partici.
pate in the selection of delegates and alter
mates thereto.
The number of delegates and alternates
to be appointed by each county or city Of
the district is, as given below, based upon
the vote foi the Republican electoral tick
ct in 1896:
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1900-07-05

demand for securities will be good and
prices will be high after the election. We
now have Republican government and
it cannot be the prospect that we shall
continue to have one that is depressing
prices and making investors timid.
Probably the members Of the City
Council and the School Trustees Of New
port while hoping that the election
of Mckinley will assure good price for
their bonds, will go to the polls and vote
for Bryan, along with the vast majority OF
the voters Of the State Of Virginia.
We are in for it and may as well make
the best Of it now and 60 along as these
Newport News people will do, and thous'
ands of Others will do, voting "the tick
ct" because it is "the ticket" while feel.
ing that we are voting directly against
our own interests. The beet way to
meet q condition like this is frankly and
honestly. Thousands of us will stand by
the party against our own opinions.
But we can make some good resolutions
for the future. One of these should be
that in future if there is a strong feeling
among Democrats against any apparent
ly predominant party policy it shall at
least have expression and be supported
by an organized and properly conducted
fight within the party lines. 1t is too
late now for these people at Newport
News or elsewhere to protest. They let
their opportunity go by at the time OF
the mass.meetings and before. They
must now accept conditions as they are.
The Democratic party Of this State is
virtually on record az favoring the sban'
donment of the free silver issue, or at
least having it put aside for stronger and
more pressing questions, but the State
has spoken negatively and timidly. A
strong, outspoken utterance on that sub
ject by two or three Southern States
would probably have been needed at
Kansas City, but there is no such utter
ance. The Democratic party goes to the
country apparently unanimous for the IL
to free coinage plank simply because
the Democrats who opposed that plank
failed to make their fight and register
their protest against it at the proper time.
Business men who believe that free silver
coinage would be disastrous, who know
that the threat of it does serious injury
to business of every kind, must endorse
it-or appear to do so-because they
we're silent and inactive while they could
have made themselves felt. 1t is all very
we'll to say that some Of the political lead
ers of the State should have headed and
made the fight; but it is rather too much
to expect of any political leader that he
should make fight without prospect Of
support.
