Yes, they are quite the fashion just at pres
emit, In fact they are the thing. Do we believe
in weddings7 oh, yes, indeed; that is where
the parties are old enough.
OF course we do not believe in real young
things, who don't know their own minds, get
ting married, but when people arrive at the a se
of discretion and are old enough to know what
they are doing, then its all right.
Then again, some people are welded to wrong
notions and mistaken ideas, for instance, when
they are married to the habit of buying their
groceries "on time," and paying too much for
them. Now, that's big mistake, and they
ought not to stay so welded, but get divorce

Henry Cabot Lodge. Chairman Notihca-

My Dear Sir: The nomination of the
Republican national convention of June
19. 1900, for the office of president of the
United States. which, as the official rep
resentative of the convention, you have
conveyed to me, is accepted. I have
carefully examined the platform adopted
and give to it my hearty approval. Upon
the great issue Of the last national elec-
tion it is clear. It upholds the gold
standard and endorses the legislation Of
the present congress by which that
standard has been strengthened. The
stability of our national currency is,
therefore. secure so long as those who
adhere to this platform are kept in con-
troll of the government. In the first bat
tie, that of 1886, the friends Of the gold
standard and of sound currency were
triumphant and the country is enjoying
the fruits Of that victory.

SILVER ONE ISSUE.
President Declares It is the Fight of
1895 Over Again.


Our antagonists, however, are not sat
isfied. They compel us to second bat
tie upon the same lines on which the
first was fought and won. While regret
ting the reopening of this question,
which can only disturb the present satis-
factory financial condition of the gov
ernment and visit uncertainty upon our
great business enterprises, we accept the
issue and again invite the sound money
forces to join in winning another and we
hope a permanent triumph for an hon
est financial system, which will continue
inviolable the public faith.
As in 1896 the three silver parties are
united, under the same leader, who inn
mediately after the election of that year,
in an address to the bimetallists said:
1.-THE friends of bimetallism have not
been vanquished; they have simply been
overcome. They believe that the gold
standard is a conspiracy of the money
changers against the welfare of the race
and they will continue the warfare
against it."
The policy thus proclaimed has been
accepted and confirmed by these par
ties. The silver Democratic platform of
1900 continues the warfare against the
so-called gold conspiracy when it ex-
pressly says;
.sWe reiterate the demand of that {the
Chicago) platform of 1896 for an Ameri-
can financial system made by the Amer
lean people for themselves which shall
restore and maintain bimetallic price
level, and as part of such system an
immediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the present ratio of is to without wait
ing for. the aid or consent of any other
nation"
So the issue is presented It will be
noted that the demand is for the i'm
mediate restoration of the free coinage

cartridge box containing eight metal
patched smokeless powder cartridges, 3S'
IS caliber, corresponding exactly to the
bullet found in the huckleberry tree and
which was believed to have passed
through Senator Goebel's body. The
significance Of the discovery lies in the
fact that Henry Youtsey, convicted o.

and had access to the vault in which the
cartridges were found. and that George
