but the financial status of the Georgia
delegation to fhe Chicago convention. |
The personal felations of the two gen-
tlemen are entirely pleasant so their
discussion will be limited to financial
matters. The majority of the Demo-
crate in Congress hold the opinion
that Mr. Crisp will win the Benator-
ship and that the Georgia delegation

Speaker's lieutenants a chunk of cold
comfort when he said: “Only one
man can defeat McKinley for the nom-
ination at this late day, and he is Ben-
jamin Harrison. He could be nomi
pated if he permitted his name to go
before thd convention, It may as well
be understood, however, that he will
make no geal to secure the nomina-
tion. Platt, Quay and the other lead-
ers must s@ipport him without exact
ing any proguises. He will make no
promises.” (It is quite certain not-
withstanding their present vicious on-
slaught on MeKinley, that Platt, Quay
and Reed would all much rather see
McKinley ngminatad than Harrison,

dollar aa was required of gold for a
gold dollar. But the large quantities
of silver produced of late years and the
improved and eheapened processes of
mining it and extracting the pure me-

value that it now requires thirty-two
ounces of silver to buy an ounce of
gold. If Generel Jackson were alive
hewould not be caught in the company
of the cheap money advocates who
wish to put 50 cents worth of silver
into a dollar and to pay 100 cents of
debt with it. He adjusted his ratio to
intrinsic value, so that all the dollars
in the hands of the people should be

those of whose conventions
not been announced yet, an April date
may be selected, but assuming that all
other conventions will be held in May,
the list of delegates to be elected in
April is an important one. The States
holding April conventions will be en-
titled to 274 delegates, divided as fol-
lows: Oregon, 8; Kentucky, 26; Ne
braska, 16; North Dakota, 6; New Jer
sey, 20; Maine, 12; Tennessee, 24;
Pennsylvania, 64; Indian ‘lerritory,
2; Alabama, 23; Georgia, 28 and Illi
nois, 48. While district delegates
have been elected in nearly all of the
above mentioned States, they cannot
be accurately assigned among the
several candidates until the State con-
ventions have been held. It will be
easily seen from these figures, there
fore, that no candidate has a sure thing
at this time.
This state of uncertainty will keep
the political excitement at fever heat
during the coming month, and dsin-
terested observers, if there are any, will
have a good opportunity to look on
and enjoy the fun. April is going to
be a great month for the Presidential
boomers,

| No. of pupils enrolled male 11, female
i 18, total 20; average male 10, female
i 15, total 25; average for term total 24:
| the percentage was 96 for the term and
i during some months ran to 100. Those
perfect in attendance during the last
month ending March 24th were:
Maud Eungard, Grace Grove, Fior-
ence Kline, Sadie Weaver, Annie
Weaver, Ada Weaver, Blanch Grove,
Mary Lynch, Laura Lynch, Archie
Eungard, Grover Weaver, Harry
Ream, Whitmer Smith, Charles Fra-
zier, Eugene Lynch. The attendance
for the term was good considering that
some of the pupils have far to school
and the roads were drifted; there are
few places where the parents give such
encouragement to a teacher as here, as
regular attendance is the rule and not
the exceplion;during the term just
closed the progress was very good and
the patrons of the school may feel that
it was a benefit to them all,
Ten class prizes were awarded on the
last day in the order of names follow-
ing: Grace Grove, Sadie Weaver,
Florence Kline, Blanch Grove, Mary
Lynch, Maud Eugard, Mary Kline,
Annie Weaver, Bessie Vonada, Archie
Eungard. | May future be as
