TENNESSEE’S WARM WELCOME.
Close and Careful Attention Given the
Veterans—Their Frank Manner of Speech
Impressed Thousands—Battling for a
Principle \Vhich They Believe Will Save
the Democratic Party—Free Silver Men
Give Them Attentive Hearing.
The tour of the candidates for pres-
ident and vice presidemfihrough Ten-
nessee has been a succession of. pleas-
, ant incidents for the two war veterans.
They have been treated with the ut-
most courtesy and fairness wherever
they have stopped. Men who differed
with them politically and men who,
professing the same faith, differed with
them on some of the planks of the Chi-
cago platform, gave them the same
courteous and respectful attention that
was accorded by the most enthusiastic
supporters of the National Democratic
ticket.
They have invaded the very hotbeds
of free silverism; have talked into the
faces of people who would sooner vio-
late the whole Ten Commandments in
one single act than go contrary to the
teachings of Mr. Bryan and the Popo-
cratic platform on which he stands.
They have stood in front of large
crowds of men many of whom were
fixed in their intense desire to change
the financial system of the government,
and have told them of the false posi-
tion they occupied, of the_ delusive
phantom 'they were chasing, and yet
not a man has said a word that was
disrespectful nor committed an act that
could be condemned by any one.
This has caused a great deal of com-
ment. The free silver leaders have be-
lieved their men were so solidly en-
trenched that no' argument could move
them, but when they see hundreds of
Bryan adherents sitting drinking in ev-
ery word that is said by a‘gold stand-
ard advocate, and looking as if they
were hungry for more, it causes them
to reflect and to wonder what kind of
an impression has been made.
General Palmer and his associate on
the ticket, General Buckner, are men,
however, who command respect wher-
ever they go. The appearance of these
grizzly veterans on the public platform,
walking side by side, each leaning for
assistance upon a cane, causes the most
vindictive and bitter partisan to halt
in his mad chase after the elusive free
silver dollar, and almost bow his head,
while he raises his hat in reverence.
Their appearance causes him to think
and reason. He wonders if there is not
something, after all, in a cause which
brings to the front of the fight two
men upon whom the country has show-
ered honors in a long and useful ca-
reer; two men who, standing on the
shady side of life, have left quiet and
peaceful homes, where the comforts of
old age invite them, to engage in the
noise and conflict and discomforts of
a. political battle, and make personal
sacrifices in defense of a principle
which to them can‘offer no reward. And
that is where the strength of this Dem-
ocratic campaign for honest money lies.
When General Palmer raised his voice
and said to those in front of him: “I
am fighting for a principle that has
guided me politically during all my
years and which I want to see main-
tained before my life is ended," those
who had doubted his sincerity could do
so no longer. And when General Buck-
ner told his listeners that he led them
once through battles where bullets
rained death and filled the trenches
with rivers of blood, struggling for a.
cause which they believed was right,
they could not doubt his sincerity in
the fight for honest money, and many
of those whom he piloted before will
follow his flag again. .
The men themselves in the gray glory
of Old age, are an argument for honesty
in all things. Without a word from the
lips of either, a lasting impression is
left upon all who see them?“ in their
unequal struggle for the maintenance
of true Democratic doctrines.
them in Columbia, and not a man in
all the crowd mocked or sneered at the
arguments made for gold. A house as
full of people as it could be packed
heard them last night in Pulaski, and
they were greeted by applause and
cheers throughout the evening. On the
train from Nashville through the state
and into Alabama, little crowds would
gather at the stations to get a. sight of
those two representatives of the old-
time Democratic principles which were
laved from the wreck at Chicago by the
convention at Indianapolis.
General Palmer makes the plainest
and simplest argument and explana-
tion of the financial question the peo-
ple here have ever heard. He takes his
audience by the hand and says: “I
have naught to utter in bitterness or
condemnation, let us reason together,"
and he reasons with them just as a man
would sit in the center of his family
and teach his children.
General Buckner thentakes up the
subject and goes deeper into it. He
makes comparisons with other nations
in showing the fallacy Of free silver.
He is a historian, an encyclopedia of
knowledge and he applies it in an in-
telligible and simple way to his audi-
ence.
Neither of them make long and tire-
some speeches. Both go right into the
subject in hand and treat it in a con-
cise and simple way. They do not pile
up an array of figures and Statistics to
confuse the minds of the people and
leave them in doubt and darkness, but
tell facts in such a. way that a child
can understand them.—-Nashville Ban-
ner.
Bryan Given \Vhat Be Asked.
In the declarations of our Indianapolis
convention, we have given Mr. Bryan that:
for which he has so earnestly pleaded, I
declaration that the gold standard is a
good thing—nay, the best of things which
the world's financial experience has been
able to device in the way of a stable mon-
etary unit of valu9.—C. Vey Holman in
Boston Herald.
Vote for Palmer and Buckner.
The men who cast their ballots this
fall for the Indianapolis ticket will con-
stitute the nucleus around which will
be builtup the Democratic party of the
future. The larger the vote given to
Palmer and Buckner the easier will be
the work of reorganizing and rehabili-
tating the party—Chicago Chronicle.

FORTY THOUSAND IN. KENTUCKY '
In Spite of Ostracism Bolt Bryan and Stip-
port‘ Palmer and Buckner.
Walter TVellman, writing from Louis-
ville oflthetremendous revolt of Ken—
tucky Democrats against the Chicago
ticket and platform, says:
“The bourbons who will always be
bourbons point the finger of scorn at
these bolting Democrats. They cry
‘Traitor.’ The’y jeer and hoot and in-
sult and break up meetings by brute
force. In an eastern county a promi-
nent Democrat, a judge, and a man of-
high character, was pulled from the
rostrum by violent hands. In the con-
gressional district across the river from
Cincinnati, where circu ates freely that
intense Ohio free sil 'er newspaper
which preaches that every sound
money Democrat has been bought up
by capitalistic gold, it is impossible for
National Democratic speakers to get a
hearing. One wonders how Mr. Car-
lisie will fare in his old home at Cov-
ington. Despite this intolerance, this
ostracism, these threats of future po-
litical oblivion, the sound money Dem-
ocratic ranks in this state have gained
accessions till now they are known to
number fully one—fifth of all the Demo-
crats in the state, and one-fourth of
the number who cast their votes last'
year. The figures given me by the ofll-
cers of the state committee are be-
lieved to be trustworthy. They are
based upon the returns of precinct
and county committeemen, who per-
sonally know all the voters in their
neighborhood. These committeemen, it
should be remembered, are men of high
character. They are little prone to
guessing. They are conservative by
instinct. They are men who have been
successful in the race of life, and who
have won the esteem of their neigh-
bors. Their reports, though not based
strictly upon a poll, are reliable.
These show that in Kentucky, outside
the cities and towns which have reg-
istration, there are 30,000 Democrats
known by name and address. They are
men who have declared themselves.
In the cities and towns not embraced
in these reports there is an aggregate
of 350,000 population. In these cities
and towns the business vote is largely
against Bryan. In Louisville alone
there are believed to be 6,000 sound
money Democrats. In Covington, New—
port, Paducah, Lexington, Owensboro,
Henderson, Frankfort, Bowling Green
and other towns there are many more,
declared and known. It is upon this
showing that Chairman Davie, himself
a conservative man, makes the state-
ment that there are in Kentucky today
40,000 Democrats who will not vote for
Bryan.
BENTON’S VIEWS.
He Was a Stalwart Advocate of the Gold
Standard.
Hon. Thomas Hart Benton, when he
led the Jackson forces in'the United
States senate, was regarded as a pretty
good Democrat. Old Hickory looked
upon him as his main dependence in
fighting through congress what was
known as the gold bill. That was the
bill overvaluing gold for the express
purpose of bringing it into circulation.
In the discussion Mr. Benton was the
avowed champion of gold and in show—
ing why it was the favorite medium of
exchange, said:
“It has an intrinsic value, which gives
it currency all over the world to the
full amount of that value without re-
gard to law or circumstances.
“It has a uniformity of value, which
makes it the safest standard of the val-
ue of property which the wisdom of
man has ever discovered.
"Its portability, which makes it easy
for the traveler to carry'about with
him. _
“Its superiority over all other money,
which gives its possessor the choice
and command of all other money.
“It is a constitutional currency and
the people have a right to demand it
for their currency, as long as the pres-
ent constitution is permitted to ex-
ist.”
The Populist Cerebns.
I can find no parallel in ancient or mod
ern political history for the tripartite
Populist ticket, composed of Bryan. Wat-
son and Sewall. Mythology, however, for-
nishes an analogue to it. in the fabled
triple-headed dog. Cerebus, which guard-
ed the gates of hell—C. Vey Holman.
Real Defenders of Sound Money.
The men who have carried on the
real campaign for sound money are
those engaged by the Palmer House
committee for that purpose. We seri-
ously question whether the Republic-
an orators have made any headway
against the silver sentiment, especial-
ly in the country districts. The trouble
with Hanna’s spellbinders is that they
are either closely associated with of-
fensive trusts or that they shared Mc-
Kinley’s sudden conversion to the
Sound money cause when Platt forced
the financial plank into the St. Louis
platform. On the other hand, such
men as Palmer, Buckner, Flower and
Irish have stood for sound money for
many years, and the people know this.
If Bryanism is defeated it will be due
solely to the Indianapolis convention.
—Chicago Chronicle.
Bryan No Democrat.
“I stand upon three platforms,” said
Bryan at Burlington. And there is not
a Democratic plank in all three of them.
—I.ouisvillo Courier-Journal.
Gold Is King in Commerce.
“Whenever in any nation there is
such an attempt to tamper with stand-
ards that the moral sense of man is
bewildered and liberty is given to un-
principled men at large to cheat, to be
unfaithful to obligation, to refuse the
payment of honest debts, it is all the
worse if done with the permission of
the law. Whoever tampers with es-
tablished standards tampers with the
very marrow and vitality of the public
faith. Gold is the, world’s standard;
gold is the universal measure of value;
gold is king in commerce. All other
money must represent gold.”—Henry
Ward Beecher.
The Refuge of True Democrats.
From all parts of the country there
comes gratifying evidence that the
National Democratic party is splendid-
ly fulfilling its mission. Under the
banner of the two grand old leaders,
Palmer and Buckner, are flocking the
Democrats whose adherence to the
tenets of their political faith is so
strong that they could not vote for
the champion of protection even while
he stands as the representative of a
principle the success of which is vital
to the country’s welfare—New York
Herald. ,
‘ fi ‘ THE”EVENING,GAZETTEB
Doctors are Often handicapped by the
mere fact that when treating the diseases of
women, they suggest and insist on “ exam-
inations” and “local treatment.” A great
many of them do not know that this is abso-
lutely unnecessary. Many a woman has
been thrown into a dangerous state of ner-
vous excitement by the mere suggestion of
such treatment. Many women lie to the
doctor. That sounds hard, but it is un-
doubtedly true. They know that if they
admit certain symptoms .that the doctor
W111 inevitably insist on an “examination.”
They do not give him all the facts in the
case, and so he works in the dark. Quite
often the doctor is too busy and too hurried
to make the necessary effort to Obtain the
facts. He frequently treats symptoms for
what they appear to be on the surface, when
the real cause and the real sickness is deeper
and more dangerous. A derangement of,
the distinctly feminine organs will derange
the Whole body. The woman herself may
not know exactly what is the matter with
her, but whenever she is sick, there are two
things she should look out for first. One is
what is called “ female weakness ;” the
other is constipation, for these two things
frequently go together. Dr. Pierce’s Fa-
vorite Prescription is designed for the cure—
of diseases and disorders of women, and it
does cure them. It hasbeen performing its
healing mission for 30" years, and tens of
thousands of women have been made happy
by it. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are for
constipation, and contingent ills. Druggists
sell them, but sometimes in well meaning
ignorance, they will try to sell you some-
thing else. There is nothing “ just the
same” or “just as good.” The druggist
who_ tells you there is, is either mistaken
or dishonest.

Much Attention is Given by Inventors to
Perfecting Farm Machinery.
It is a fact commented upon by the
Penal; Uflice officers in Washington
that much of the attention of inven-
tors of late has been turned to the
adaptation of electricity to farming.
The procuring of power is, after all,
the principal obstacle in the way' of
electric farming. Remove it, and all
the minor applications are easy
enough. There are several methods of
obtaining this power within easy
reach of every husbandman. The
physical aspect of the country will,
generally speaking, decide the method
to be used in each locality.
As currents have already been sent
100 miles we can anticipate the spec-
tacle of the future by supposing an im-
mense power plant to exist in the
centre of a farming community sup-
plying current for every plantation
within a radius of this length. Under
such a system a whole state could be
supplied with current from a half
dozen plants. '
In fact it has been stated that
the time is not far distant when farm—
ers of a neighborhood will club to-
gether and .harness the nearest avail-
able waterfall and use it at a mini-
mum cost to suppy them with electric
light for their houses and power for
their farms. The beauty of the sys-
tem consists in that the first cost is
almost the whole cost, for with the
modern flume system of installation
the plant can be operated as easily in
Winter as in summer.
An artesian well may be made to
produce enough electric power to oper-
ate every piece of machinery on a.
farm.
There are 1,000,000 windmills in
operation in this country at the pre-
sent time. Every one of these mills
can be adapted to the generation of
electric power for farm purposes.
The practice is to operate a dynamo,
the armature of which is turned by the
mill. Storage batteries collect the cur-
rent, and hold it in reserve during the
days when there is little or no wind,
It takes but little wind to generate
a practicable electric current. A six-
mile—an-hour will easily drive a mill,
and when a velocity of sixteen miles
an hour is projected against a 16-foot
mill it will produce 1.5 horsepower
constantly exerted.
It has Often been suggested that the
currents of rivers might be utilized for
power purposes. This is already being
done near Chicago. This is another
case wherein the farmer may be bene-
fited by the adaptable quality of the
modern system.
But having secured his electric cur—
rent by one method or another, the
farmer will want to know what to
do with it. In the West electricity is
operating a fifteen-blade gang plough,
which will cut a furrow six feet wide.
The blades revolve and the plough is
pulled across the field by means of a
cable which passes around the drum
of an electric motor on the plough.
In New York state there is a trolley
plough in operation. Wires are
stretched along the edge of the field
and carry current to a cross Wire,
which, in the case of the plough men-
tioned above, passes over the drum of
a motor. But in this case the motor
is attached to the axle of the plough
wheels, and turns the latter with its
owu power. Current in this case is
transmitted overland for some dis-
tance from the power house.
It can also be used in place of trac-
tion ,engines for hauling machinery
around the farm, and with a driving
pulley attached to the axle it will drive
a threshing machine.
The same principle has also been ap-
plied to barrows, to seeders and to
harvesting machines. There is an elec-
tric reaper in operation on our West-
ern wheat fields. Corn shellers also
have been operated and propelled by
the electric current.
So we may run down the list.
There are electric hay lifts, electric -
tree fellers, electric fence~makers, elec-
tric churns, electric spading machines,
electric irrigators, electric stock-food
boilers and electric shearers.
Property Guarded by Bees.
Mr“ Reiber, a farmer living near
Butler, Pa., has had his land guarded
from the Carnegie railroad by his
bees. The farmer made a strong fight
to prevent the road going through his
property, but failed through some
chicanery of the law. When, how-
ever the lot was reached in which the
"bees had been hived, there was a.
more effective resistance than had as
yet been. brought to bear. The bees
didn’t propose that man should have
everything his own way, and conse-
Iuently rejected all overtures of
friendship from the working men.
They carried the day, and the road
stopped at Reibert’s farm.
LWhat Mr. Carnegie will do no one
knows. He found it comparatively
easy to stamp out labor troubles, but
bees are different. If the iron pur-
veyor’s new freight line to the great
lakes isn't completed this fall it will
be conclusive proof . that the bee is
mightier than the magnate.
