Main St." GOLD DOWNS WIN New York State Court of Appeals De-u aides In Their Favor. THE DECISION UNANIMOUS. The Name' "National Democratic Party". May Be Used on the Ballots—The Populists’ Visit; to Mr. “’atson. Chairman Butler on Fusion. ALBANY, Oct. 17.—The court of appeals this morning affirmed the decision of the appellate division, second department, in the"case taken up on appeal from the de- cision of Judge Clements refusing the ap- pliantion for a mandamus to compel the ' board of electors of Brooklyn to place the candidate of the gold standard Democrats on the official ballot under the designation of the “National Democratic party.” The decision of the court of appeals sustains the right to the use of the designation “National Democratic party.” No opinion accompanies the decision, and costs are not awarded to either party. All the judges concur in the decision ex— cept Judge Vann, who did not vote be- cause he is a candidate for oflice in the coming election. ,. The decision will settle controversies that have arisen in many localities in the state over the use of the name of the Na— tional Democratic party by the so called “ship” Democracy. The Conference With \Vatson. ATLANTA, Oct. 17.—The proposed con- ference between a subcommittee of the Populist national executive committee, headed by Senator Butler and Thomas Watson, Populist vice presidential nomi- nee, is awaited with considerable interest. It; is rumored, notwithstanding the recent positive denials of Senator Butler and others, that the visit of the committee will result in a formal request for Mr. Watson to withdraw, and there are numerous sug- gestions of official positions to be tendered Mr. Watson in case he withdraws and if the Democrats are successful at the N o- vember election. The stories of the prom- ised positions range all the way down from a cabinet portfolio, but no one claims to have definite information as to juscwhat, if anything, will be promised. There is grave dou bt expressed, however, as to whether Mr. Watson will promise to withdraw. It is freely stated that the Pop- ulist manifesto was by no means pleasing to the vice presidential candidate, and the committee’s haste in notifying him of the intended visit is said to have been the re- sult of a fear that. he would take precipi- tate action before the conference could be held. That fear was set at rest, however, by a message which Mr. Watson sent to Chairman Washburn expressing willing- nose to see the committee. Mr. Watson, according to the rumor, allayed the fears of the Populist leaders by appending to his telegram the statement that he would await the coming of the subcommittee. What the outcome of the committee’s visit will be is altogether guesswork, but there is a growing impression this Mr. Watsoii - will take more kindly to the alleged sug. gestion of withdrawal than he would have done at. an earlier date in the campaign. He is expected to leave Thomson for At- lanta as soon as he is definitely informed as to the time the committee will arrive there. There has been some dispute as to whether the conference should be held at Atlanta or Thomson, but it is thought that Atlanta has been decided upon. Butler on Fusion. WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—Senator Butler, chairman of the Populist national com- mittee, returned from Chicago this morn- ing. He expressed himself as satisfied with the result of the meeting of the Pop- ulist executive committee, and also with the general outlook. “There are only four states,” said he, “in which fusion has not been arranged— Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee. An adjustment will be reached in Florida and Tennessee without doubt. So far as Georgia is concerned, the state will go either for Bryan and Watson or Bryan and Sewall. An adjustment in North Carolina is diflicult because the Democrats rejected several fair proposi- tions which were made. Regarding the middle western states, Ohio can be classed as doubtful; Indiana, with the fusion ar- ranged, is safe for Bryan, and Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa are in the balance. I regard it as safe to assume that the chances are even in those states— that is, that two of the four will go for Bryan and silver. Kentucky is safe. West Virginia and Maryland are doubtful, with the chances, I think. strongly in favor of Bryan in the former. “In Maryland the result will depend upon the Republican farmers. If there is enough disafl‘ection among them to offset the gold Democratic defection in Balti- more, Bryan will carry the state. For the population, there is a greater gold Demo- cratic defection in Baltimore, I think, than in any city west of New York. ” Dealt In Personalities. GREENVILLE, N. C., Oct. 17.—The joint discussion between W. H. Lucas and Harry Skinner, candidates for congress, nearly caused a row and serious trouble. In his closing rejoinder Lucas said, “I have been told here today that ex-Senator Jarvis said he heard Skinner lobbying in Washington in favor of a bill, and 15 minutes later on the floor of the house he made a speech against and voted against the bill.” Skin- ner sprang to his feet and denounced Gov- crnor Jarvis as an infamous 0nd damnable liar, using the names of Dr. 0. Hagan and Alex Blow in the same connection. Both these gentlemen were present and instantly resented Skinner’s insult and compelled him to apologize on the spot. There was the wildest excitement for a few minutes, but. no damage was done. Visitors to Canton. CANTON, 0., Oct. 17. -— Congressman James H. Codding of the Fifteenth dis- trict of Pennsylvania led a delegation of several hundred people from the Lehigh valley to the McKinley home today and introduced them as miners, mechanics, business men and other citizens represent- ing that territory. The party was organ- ized in the towns of Bradford, Luzerne, Wyoming and Carbon and adjacent terri- tory. Their greetings to Major McKin- ley were most cordial, and their demon- stration was enthusiastic. Tyler and Wetzel counties of West Vir- ginia sent greetings to Major McKinley with a delegation of representative citi- zens in a special train of 12 coaches. All were addressed by Major McKinley in a speech which was loudly cheered. . Mr. Bryan’s Tour. HOLLAND, "Mich” Oct. 17,—Wllliam J. Bryan began work comparatively‘late to- day. At Muskegon a goodly crowd had gathered, although the meeting had not been arranged for until late yesterday. The citizens of the place, however, during the night had erected a stand near the de- pot, from which .Nlr. Bryan was to speak. They cheered him heartily when, with Mrs. Bryan, he emergedzrfr'om' the car, and during his discussion of the manner in which bimetallism would regulate values he was liberally applauded. He said that the mint privilege for silver would appre- ciate the price of silver: to that ,of ‘gold and referred to the fact'that in 1873, when sil- ver was demonetized, fie bullion of a sil- ver dollar was worth $1.03. Ireland’s Letter Disapproved. LONDON, Oct. 17.—'I_‘he Daily News publishes the following dispatch from Rome: “The Vatican, although in favor of Mr. McKinley,<disapproves of Arch- bishop Ireland’s letter because it openly mixes religion and politics, which the Vatican desires to keep separate in the United States. It is feared that the letter will displease the eastern and southern Irish Bryanist Catholics. It is probable that. instructionsiwill be sent to Mgr. Martinelli, the papal delegate, concerning the attitude of the Catholic clergy.” ‘ Freight: Trains Collide. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 17.—-A head on col- lision occurred on the Northeastern rail- road, near Carrier station, between two fast. freight trains. William Fulcher, en- gineer, and his fireman, Alexander, col- ored, were instantly killed, both engines smashed and ten cars splintered and burned. The accident was caused by dis- obedience of coders on the part of the den engineer. . A Change of Date. CHICAGO, Oct. 17. —— The Democratic county committee had planned a demon- stration of the silver forces of this city for the Sunday before election day. This aroused such indignation and drew forth so many protests from ministers of all do nominations that. Chairman Jones was forced to give way, so the parade will take place on Saturday, Oct. 31, instead. Almost a. Stampede. DETROIT, Oct. 17.——A serious panic was narrowly averted in the Detroit Opera House. During the second not an indi- vidual in the gallery began cheering for Bryan. The audience, misunderstanding the cause of the shouts, began a stampede. but it yes prevented by the presence of mind and promptness of the managers. Err-Speaker Reed's Voice Gone. FORT WAYNE, Oct. 17.—Speaker Thomas B. Reed of Maine, who spoke here last night, is confined to his hotel in this city with sickness and was unable to resume his speaking tour today. His voice has given out, and he is unable to speak above a whisper. SIR EDWARD CLARKE NERVOUS. He Fears Our- Forcing 8 Just Decision Upon Her. LONDON, Oct. 17. —Sir Edward Clarke. Q. C., Conservative member of parliament for Plymouth and solicitor general in Lord Salisbury's previous ministry, in speaking publicly at York, expressed great anxiety over the outcome of the Venezuelan dis- pute, in view of the approach of the presi- dential election. He said the decision of the American boundary commission would be against England, not because it was a hostile commission, but because, he be- lieved, no honest and impartial arbitrator or commission could decide in favor of England’s claims upon the evidence. “We need not have recognized the com- mission,” he said. “We were not called upon to negotiate treaties with the United States with regard to Venezuela, but. it the blue book containing the Venezuelan brief represented the real and moderate contention of Venezuela there ought to be immediate negotiations and consent to ar- bitration. England should be prepared to accept the consequencs of such arbitration in the limitation line, which, after all, matters very little. . . “If the United States attempted to force upon us the inevitable decision of their commission, passionate resentment would be aroused here, serious for both countries. That is why we are in what I- conceive to be a serious risk.” \Vheat In India and Australia. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.—-Wheat recov- ered and in the local market; went higher than before. All day several leading ex- porters were heavy buyers, and the desti- nation of much of the wheat. thus bought is said to be India and Australia. Instead of Chicago prices influencing this market the local market now guides other specu- lators, for California has captured the first of the demand from India and Australia. Army Correspondents’ Monument. FREDERICK, Md, Oct. 17.—Old news- paper men from all over the country, with their friends, were here in great numbers to take part in the unveiling of the army correspondents’ monument on the battleground at Antietam this afternoon. The ceremonies included the reading of papers by James Seney, George Alfred Townsend, Junius H. Brown, E. C. Sted- man and S. Cadwallader. Big Blaze In Cherry Creek, N. Y. BUFFALO, Oct. 17.—The business por- tion of Cherry Creek was laid waste by a fire of probable incendiary origin today. The fire broke out in Parsons’ store and spread until the entire block on that side of Main street was in flames. Everything was destroyed, with the exception of Cris- sey’s bank. The loss will reach $25,000. Seamen’s Wages Reduced. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.——The Ship- owners’ association has reduced wages for seamen $5 per month for lumber vessels and $2. 50 per month for colliers. This rate only applies to Pacific coast ships, the owners alleging poor business. Much dis- satisfaction prevails among sailors, and a strike is considered probable. Gloversville’s Clerk Arrested. GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y., Oct. 17.—Frank H. Wilmarth, city clerk of Gloversville since 1890, was arrested today on a charge of misappropriating funds and falsifying the books of the city. The prisoner pleaded not guilty and was held in 810, 000 bail for examinationon Oct. 22. Wilmarth says he can prove his innocence. Cigar Makers’ Convention Over. DETROIT, Oct. l7.—The twenty-first an- nual convention of the Cigar Makers’ In- ternational union closed and the 245 dele- gates left. The most important action was i the increasing of dues from 25 cents to 30 cents per week for each member. Balti- more was selected as the next convention c by. Th1: Czar at Hamburg.

A GRAND OLD DEMOCRAT. \Viio Ilepudiates the Chicago Platform and Supports Palmer and Buckner. Frederick R. Coudert is a New York Democrat who, if he would have ac- cepted, might have had lany place within the gift of the people of his state any time the past twenty-five years. He is probably the most famous lawyer in the United States and almost equally celebrated as an orator and a publicist. In all the di- visions of the people of New York dur- ing the life of the present generation Mr. Coudert’s advice has been sought and heeded by thousands of his admir- ing fellow citizens. When President Cleveland prevailed on him to be a member of the Venezuela commission men of all parties joined in pronounc- ing it an ideal appointment. Mr. Coudert has been to Rome, Italy, investigating certain archives for the commission. Returning a few days ago he gave to the New York news- papers his views of the present politi- cal situation in the United States and of the feeling of foreigners who own property or think of. investing in this country. He said: “The scare which followed Bryan’s nomination has given way to confi- dence that American credit will be maintained. To my mind the Chicago platform is diabolical. The attack on the supreme court of the United States is absolutely unwarranted. The whole platform is a squinting at anarchy. I cannot support the nominees who stand on it. The greatest danger of the Chicago platform is that it rests on sectional lines." “How about the Indianapolis plat- form and the nomination of Palmer and Buckner?” "It is good,” replied Mr. Coudert. “At the Chicago convention, after the nomination of Bryan, a prominent southern delegate came to me and said that a. third ticket was absolutely es- sential. He said that the old 'line Democrats of the south could not vote for McKinley; that they would not want to vote for Bryan, but that be- tween the two they would vote» for Bryan unless they were given another candidate. “Now they have a. candidate who is a Democrat and for whom they can vote. I think the third party ticket will surely play an important part in the defeat of Bryan." GOLD BACKS THEM. And This Is the Only Reason \Vhy Stand— ard Silver Dollars Pass at Par. It is clear that the reason that the silver dollars pass for 100 cents today is because the government is behind them with gold, by special act of con- gress, and not because they bear the stamp 6f the government. The stamp only certifies that they are issued by the United States government, and is a guarantee that they contain 412% grains of standard silver. Under a free coinage act the government would buy no silver bullion nor coin any silver dollars fc‘its own account, but only coin them for the silver mine owners and any one bringing silver bullion to the mint, not a dollar of which would go into the United States treas- ury, but would be given to the parties bringing the bullion. and would be coined at the expense of the govern- ment. Therefore the government would not be under any obligation, either legal or moral. to redeem dollars coined on individual account, and would not as- sume any obligation to do so. No party proposes that it should or would do so, and under free coinage it never did do so. Therefore the silver dollar would have nothing behind it but its bullion value and would be in the same condition as the Mexican dollar. The reason the Mexican dollar can be bought today .. in Wall street at 53 cents is because the Mexican government does not stand behind it and does not promise to do so, and not because of its inability to do so. The question of the relative ability of the United States government and the Mexican government to keep silver dollars at a. par with gold is not at issue, as neither of them promises to do so under free coinage, and the sil- ver dollars of both would have noth- ing behind them but their bullion value. ——George E. Rogers. Gold Does Not Demand Coinage. Mr. Bryan said at Portland: “We are for gold‘as well as silver, but hold that gold should not demand a monopoly of coinage." Gold does not demand coin- age. It is worth as much in the mar- ket as at the mint, quite regardless of our mint valuation. London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Calcutta,Shang- hai and Yokohama would gladly take all our gold. They clamor and com- pete for it. It has a. world-value. Whatever we coin is more to the ben- efit of the government and the coun- try than to the gold producers. The sil- ver trust is in a very different position. It demands the privilege of taking 51 cents’ worth of its bullion to the mint and having it stamped as a legal-ten- der, loo-cent dollar at the people's ex- pense—New York World. Chicago Platform Not. Democratic Doctrine The Chicago convention, having thus do- parted from the recognized Democratic faith and promulgated doctrines new and strange to the Democracy, all Democrats are absolved from obligation to support Its programme. —— National Democratic Campaign Text Book. , Free Coinage‘ Prices.

KfiID-Il u , Free Coinage Defraudh Labor. The Chicago platform proposes to de- grade the coin of the United States by means of the free, unlimited and inde- pend'ent coinage of silver by our govern- ment, and by the exercise of the power on the nation to compel the acceptance of de- preciated coins at their nominal value, thereby working an injustice to creditors, defrauding the laborer of a. large part of his earnings and savings, robbing pen- sioned soldiers of a part. of their pensions. contracting the currency by the expulsion of gold coin from circulation, injuring, it not destroying, domestic trade and foreign commerce.—~.\'ational Democratic Cam- paign 'l‘ext Book. . :—— lwASH INC: w [NE PoWnER CAKE OF TOILET SOAP IN EVERY PACKAGE. are OUTFITTERS 3mm... ’ T0 MEN. .

The Mothers Keep Them: But, With a Little nghtfil‘here Need Be None. Do you know that forty er cent. the children of the whole pworld has: weak kidneys to a greater or less ex- tent? Mothers know it and there is a very mistaken policy of “saying noth- ing about it.” Sweet, clean, dry beds should be and can be the resting place by night for our little ones. Some mothers attribute it “to habit.” It is not a habit at all. Why are these chil- dren who have this habit thirsty at bed- time? Let us tell you. Weak Kidneys become somewhat inflamed by the daily act1v1ty ofthe child and demands some- thing cooling. The result is the same, whether they drink or not—Wet beds. We write our school teachers, asking them to always and quickly permit Fred or Nellie to retire on request, as their kidneys are weak. Let us set you right in this matter. Give such chil- dren one Dean’s Kidney Pill 'tWice a day, and as sure as you do, their kid- neys quickly strengthen to a full ability, of retention, and sweet rooms and beds, and undisturbed studies at school will be the result. Their weakened kidneys are nearly always the result of some former sickness, and as easily cured as any childish ailment. Doan’s Kidney Pills are pleasant for children to take, and perfectly harmless. An example of the success of Doan’s Kidney Pills in this trouble, comes from Meriden, Conn. Mrs. Wm. Wood who lives in that city at No. 130 Colony street says: “My little boy of ten years of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys causing him to wet the bed. So many mothers punish their children for this, but I knew he couldn’t help it. I read about Dean’s Kidney Pills curing in- contmuance of urine in adults and thought it might help the little fellow. I procured a box and their use produced a marked benefit at once. It is very seldom he does it now and I shall con- tinue givmg him Doan’s Kidney Pills until the kidneys are sound and strong. It is only out of gratitude that I permit publication but the trouble is a very prevalent one and most people from modesty or diffidence do not speak of 11:. Physicians do not appear to be able to cope With the trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific fOr ,this terrible annoyance.
