meeting Political and Gen
eral New.
New Yobk, Sept. 28. The Democratic
state committee met tonight to bear the
report of tbe committee appointed to no
tify the nominees of the recent Boffalo
. state convention. There was a fall at
tendance by tbe members in person or
by proxy, but Senator Hill, who sur
prised everyone by appearing at a recent
meeting of the committee with a proxy,
and then made sensational speeches in
favor' of - John -Boyd Thacher, the
gubernatorial nominee, was not present
this time.":
The committee reported that Thacher
bad refused to accept the nomination for
governor, and that Judge Titus had ac
cepted the nomination for supreme court
justice, and that Wilber E. Porter, the
nominee for lieutenant-governor, had
placed himself in the hands of the com
mittee. The meeting of the" committee
bad been delayed an hour by caucuses,
so when the report was made there was
little delay in tbe proceedings. In these
caucuses, it had been agreed that the
man to be named in place " of Mr.
Thacher should be W. F. Porter, the
nominee for lieutenant-governor, and
that in bis place, Fred Schraub, of Lewis
county, should be named for lieutenant
governor. -

FOE HONEST MONEY.
M'KINLEV'S ABLE DISCUSSION OF THE
MONEY QUESTION.
No Debaument of Money No Repudia
tion of Debts Free Coinage Imperils
tbe Nation's Safety Working-men and
Farmers Han Most at Stake "Good
, Money Never Made Hard Times.".
Major McKinley 's letter of acceptance
is as sound as a feold dollar. The fol
lowing are some of his best points:
What Free Coinage Means.
The character of the money which
shall measure our values and exchanges
and settle our balances with one another
and with the nations of the world is of
such primary importance and so far
reaching in its consequences as to. call
for the most painstaking investigation,
and in the end a sober and unprejudiced
judgment ot the poll p. We must not be
misled by phrases nor deluded by false
theories. Free silver would not mean
that silver dollars were to be freely had
without cost or labor. It wonld mean
the free nse of the mints of the United
States for the few who are owners of
silver bullion, but would make silver
coin no freer to the-many who are en
gaged in other enterprises.
It wonld not make labor easier, the
hours of labor shorter or the pay better.
It wonld not make farmins less labori
ous cr more profitable.' . It would not
start a factory or make a demand for an
additional day's labor. It wonld create
no new occupations. It wonld add
nothing to the comfort of the masses,
the capital of the people or the wealth
of the nation. It seeks to introduce a
new measure of value, but wonld add
no value to the thing measured. It
would not conserve values. On the con
trary, it wonld derange all existing val
ues. It would not restore business con
fidence, but its direct effect would be to
destroy the little which yet remains.
The meaning of tbe coinage plan
adopted at Chicago is that any one may
take a quantity of silver bullion, now
worth 53 cents, -to the mints of the
United States, have it-cpine'd at the ex-,
pense of the government and receive for
it a silver dollar which shall be ' legal
tender for the payment of all debts, pub
lic and private. The owner of the silver
bullion would get the silver dollar. It
wonld belong to him and nobody else.
Other people would get it only by their
labor, the products of their land or
something of value. The bullion owner,
on the basis of present values, would re
ceive the silver dollar for ' 53 cents'
worth of silver, and other people would
be required to receive it as a full dollar
in the payment of debts. The govern
ment would get nothing from the trans
action. It wonld bear the expense of
coining the silver,' and the community
wonld suffer loss by its use. .
Silver Dollars Now on m Gold Basis.
We have coined since 1878 more
than 400,000,000 of silver dollars,
which are maintained by the govern
ment at' parity with gold and are full
legal tender for the payment of all
debts, public and private.. How are the
silver dollars now in nse different from
those which wonld be in nse under free
coinage? They are to be of the same
weight and fineness. They are to bear
the same stamp of the government.
Why wonld ' they not be of the same
value I answer: The silver dollars now
in nse were coined on account of the
government, and not. for private account
or gain,-and the government has solemnly-agreed
to keep them as' good aa
the best dollars we have. The govern
ment bought the silver bullion at its
market valne and coined it into silver
dollars. Having exclusive control of the
mintage, It only coins what it can bold
at a parity with gold. The profit, rep
resenting the . difference between the
commercial value' of the silver bullion
and the face value of -the silver dollar,
goes to the government for the benefit
of the people. '
Farmers and laborers Wonld Suffer Most.
If there is any one thing which should
be free from speculation and fluctuation,
it is the money of a country. It ought
nevejr to be the subject of mere partisan
contention. When we part with our la
bor, our products or our property, wc
should receive in return money .which
is as stable and unchanging in valne as
the ingenuity of honest men can make
it. Debasement of the currency means
destruction of values. No one suffers so
much from cheap money as the farmers
and laborers. They are the first to feel
its bad effects and the last to recover
from them. ' This has been the unifoii
experience, of all countries, and here as
elsewhere. The poor, and not the rich,
are always the greatest sufferers from
every attempt to debase our money. It
would fall with alarming severity upon
investments already made, upon insur
ance companies and their policy holders,
upon savings banks and their depositors,
upon building and loan association
members, upon the savings of thrift,
'.upon pensioners and their families, and
upon wage earners and the purchasing
power of their wages.
"Good Money Never Made Times Hard."
It is a mere pretense to- attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency J? on a gold basis. Good money
never made times hard. Those who as
sert that our present industrial and
financial depression is the result of the
gold standard have not read American
history aright or been careful students
of the events of recent years. We never
had greater prosperity m this country,
in every field of employment and indus
try, than in the busy years - from 1880
to' 1892, during all of which time this
country was on a gold basis arJtt em
ployed more' gold money in its fiscal and
business operations than ever before.
Honesty Leads to Prosperity.
No country can prosper that habitually
tells lies. If the United States stamps
the lie ""This is $l" on pieces of silver
worth 53 cents, it will have taken the
first step away from the straight path
of national truth and honor.
The Discovery saved Bis Life.
Mr. G. Caillouttee, Druggist, Bearers
ville, 111. says: "To Dr. King's New
Discovery I owe my Jife. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the physi
cians ' for miles about, but of no avai
and was given up and told I could not
live". Having Dr. King's New Discoverv
in my store I sent for a bottle and began
its use and from the first dose began to
get better, and after using three bottles
was up ana about again. It is worth its
weight in gold. We won't keep store or
house without it." Get a free trial at

None But Ayer's at tbe World's Fair.
'.Avar's Sareapariila enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been 'the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sough J. by
every means to obtain a showing of their
'goods, but they were all turned away
under tbe application . of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. . The decision of the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla wrfs in effect as follows:
VAyer'e Sareapariila ' Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits." '' ' .
It is tbe same old story and yet con
stantly recurring that Simmons Liver
Regulator is the best family medicine.
"We have used it -in our family for
eight years and find it tbe best medicine
we have used.- "We think there is no
such medicine as Simmons Liver Regu
lator." Mrs. M. E. S. Adington, Frank
lin, N. C. Each member of pnr family
uses it as occasion requires." W. .B.
Smith, Mt. Vernon, Ky.
It May Do as M ach for You.
Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many yeare, with severe pains in his
back and also that bis ' bladder was af
fected. He tried mpoy so called Kidney
cures but without any good result. About
a year ago he began to use Electric' Bit
ters and found relief at once. Electric
Bitters is especially adapted' to cure of
all Kidney and Liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. - One trial
will prove our statement. Price 50c and
