Johnson, of Scott town ship rose to his feet and stated in a loud voice that he objected to J. S. Williams being a delegate, because he had been refused a vote at Saturday's election, and further because Williams was a republican, and had been elec tioneering for candidates of that party last fall. The chairman said that the matter would be looked after by the committee appointed for that purpose. Standing Committee. Beaver Simon Hons. Benton Borough H. O. McHenry. Benton Township G. W. Knouse.

Creasy and Rhawn. The latter stated thirt inasmuch as the convention was proceeding accord ing to the rules of the party govern ing conventions, the motion made bv Creasy to reconsider was out of order. rm 1 . i ne cnairman stated that he thought the .question was nroner.

Chairman Kshinka announced that the old rules would be received at the close of the convention. A motion was made and seconded that the new rules be adopted. C. R. Buckalew objeeted to the motion and a lively discussion lasting for several minutes followed. Mr. Buckalew stated that the rules could not be changed in that manner, th.ir the proper way was to secure a two- tnircis votes of the convention and not a majority of the votes at the delegate election ( the chair however did not see it in that light, and stated that the people were evidently desir ous of a change ( that the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the revis ion and the new rules would therefore be adopted. The announcement of the adoption of the new rules was greeted by great cheering and it required some time before the meeting could be brought to order. The Associate Judgeship was taken up.

Hummer was declared nominated. For Coroner, W. E. Gairity, of Centralia was named and nominated by acclimation. The following is the report of the committee on resolutions. We, the representatives of the Democracy of Columbia County in Convention assembled, do hereby declare : That, whereas, the many j Tonuses and assurances of the Republican party, together with a few misguided l)emocrais, that a great era of prosperity would surely dawn upon this country if tirvan could 1 e defeated and McKinlcy elected, have utterly failed to materialize. That the self appointed "Advance Agent of Prosperity," billed on exhibition, wnicli however mu.li desired by nil the people, never tilled nny of the dates and in fact never got upon the road. (That we realize that the business depres sion of the com, try today is more calamitous th.iu it been for many years, farms fell in,; for less and less, the wages of the labor ing man is being reduced, and not much work at even starvation wages, capital refus ing to seek investment, all waiting for better times which never come under the rcijjn of the trusts.) Therefore, be it Resolved : That we re atiirm our belief in the principles of the Democratic party ns defined by Jelferson, maintained by Jackson, and clearly and authoritatively set lorth by the Chicngo platform, of 1896, and approved by six millions five hundred thousand Demo cratic voters, w ho Could neither Le seduced nor coerced to serve the trusts and monopo lies, whose loyalty to their party and their country remains unshaken, who still follow with increasing admiration and confidence William J. Uryan, the bold and peerless leader of a glorious cause and who will sweep the country in 1 900 and replace the reign of the trusts by the reign of the people. We join with our brother Democrats of York Co. in approving : Resolved, That at this juncture in its history, the Democratic party engaged in a herculean struggle for the maintenance of popular rights and popular institutions, having arrayed against it ali the oppressive and corrupting influences of modern society, combined to subvert the government of the people and make it an instrument of class exclusively, is entitled to the services in all places of authority of its most trusted and devoted members, and its organization from the national committee down to the present committee should be promptly purged of all persons who do not cordially support the principals of the party as set out in the Chicago platform, and especially of those who failed to support Bryan and Sewall or now openly confederate with the enemies of the Democratic parly. The several dele gates to the state convention from this county are instructed to vote upon all tpuestions in accordance with this declaration. Resolved : That we denounce the re cently enacted tariff law as a measure in the interests of th trusts and monopolies of this country at the expense of the laboring class es, by increasing the cost of the necessaries of life without any adequate return to either the laborer or the farmer, who are the great wealth producers. Resolved,' That the Republican party in this state has become so boss-ridden, profli. gate and con upt in leadership as to be a menace to the best interests of tax payers and men of busine.-s pursuits. That the last two legislatures, under the Sleepless Nights Run Down In Health-Constant Pains In Arms and Shoulders A Valuable Clft-Heetth, Appetite and Sleep-Pains are Ccne. "I was run down in health and could hardly keep on my feet. The least exer tion would cause palpitotlou and I would leel as though I was being smothered. My nights were sleepless and I felt worse In the morning than when I retired. My liver was out ot order and I had constant pains in my arms and shoulders and numbness In my limbs. I was sometimes dizzy and would fall. My son gave me two bottles ot Hood's Barsaparllla and thoy provod of more valua th nn a vnrv costly gift. In a short time after taking nooa s Barsaparuia 1 bad a good appetite, sleop camo back to me and the pains all loft me." Mbs. Ann ib E. Steoter, 021 marietta avo., Lancaster, Pa.

They have passed laws, giving the Stand ard Oil Company sole control of the oil busi ness, thereby increasing the price to the con sumer ; allowing competing trolley roads to consolidate for the benefit of the trolley magnates ; they made an effort to take one miiiion of dollars from the public school fund in order to shield the b-er nust from taxa tion; they have spent in less than three years over $200,000 to fit and re lit one room for the legislature ; they have spent $60,000 for fitting up the Grace church for the legisla lure; these an 1 many other extravagant and profligate expenses brand the majority of this body as dangerous and corrupt and un worthy the confidence of their fellow citizens. Resolved, That we demand the equaliza tion of taxation for which many thousands of dollars have been spent for a commission to test the proposed change of the tax laws, said commission having never reported and is used as a "blind" so as to prevent this great needed reform demanded by the farm ers and other home owners of this Common wealth. Resolved, That we instruct our delegates to the State Convention to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of worthy men for the offices of State Treasurer and Auditor General and who will merit the sup port of all honest and patriotic citizens. We endorse the action of State Chairman John M. Garman, and commend him in his efforts to keep the party of the State free from the polluiing efforts of those who would destroy its usefulness. Resolved, That we recognize the ability of Hons. W. T Creasy and Wm. Chrisman, our Representatives in the Legislature and that the democracy of Columbia county here by tenders them our untiring fidelity in the course they pursued at llarrisburg against the powerful forces of monopoly The friends of Attorney-General McCormick of Williamsport are boom ing bim as a republican candidate for governor next year.

Sterling KumedyCo,,Chi(iagoorNew York. The price of silver has gone down to 45 cents in a dollar, and the gold bugs are making a great ado about it. But at the same time they are claim ing that there is a great revival in trade, and that this is due to the Dingley tariff bill. How can they consistently maintain that business is improved by the tariff, when they are insisting that a decline in silver must necessarily make business bad ! The cause of the decline in silve is the abundant production. Gold produced in great .quantities would be no more stable in price than silver, and if the Klondike country should prove a rich field for gold diggers, the price will be affected by it, and it is sure to decline. Gold is not a stand ard commodity with a fixed and un changeable price, any more than silver or wheat or coal, and therefore it is not a sure and safe standard of value any more than any other product. The failure of all the promises and predictions of the gold bugs, as to the prosperity that was to follow immedi ately upon the election of McKinley proves this most conclusively.
