tl. V. Atkixsox has been nomina
ted for (Jovernor by the Republicans of
Ve?t Virginia.
AtiRtixi to a record kept by the
Chicago Tribune, Deniocratie papers
have bolu-d the Chicago ticket bo far.
Whex Bryan was in Congress he
voted airainst the protection of the
l-l-uptr industry, and thus made it
frtain tliat he will not carry Nebraska
this j-ear.
The Itepublh-an party not only
wantn lalr to have steady employ
ment at good wages, but it al wants
thone wapes to lie jaid in currency of
the hhrhest value.
I?rvax is fond of quotint; from Abra
ham Lincoln's Peeches. If he cent in
e to study them he will take a des-
iemte dislike to the platform on which
lie if running.
It i.s a curious fact that Bryan does
not U-long to the Democratic party of
his own Hate, but to a bolting faction
which nominated a ticket of its own
lat year, and oiled only a little over
one-twentieth of the whole number of
votes ca.U
Sorxn Money Democrats met in Chi
t-ago, on Thursday, from Kentucky,
Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indi
ana, Nebraska and Illinois, aud deci
ded to issue a call for another conven
tion to repudiate Bryan and his plat
form. Ex-Secretary Whitney said in
New York that a tJold Democrats'
ticket will lie nominated. Tills, he
claims i the inevitable course.
The silver agitation is having its ef
fect. Tlie people who have money on
deposit are withdrawing their deposits.
and insisting that they lie paid in gold,
In Kansas City, when a run was made
on the gold vaults, the bankers refused
to pay out gold, and to all who wished
to withdraw, their money was paid in
silver, which was a metal they did not
are to hoard. What would this coun
try lie with Bryan for President and
free coinage of silver? The oiily way
to prevent the total ruin of everything
is to elect the IiepuMican ticket and
put William McKinlev at the head of
sifl'airs. Tl.at will be an evidence of se
curity and peat, plenty and prosjierity
Mr. Edward Atkixsox, the well-
known political economist, writing on
the silver question several years ago,
id: "The anuu: 1 value of the nilver
pnKlu-t is about HO,(((,nii, in gold
The production of the hen yards of the
I'nited States, according to the census
!atistie, was, in IsTw, Vi,910,ftlt dozen
eggs, and if liens have increased in the
ratio of population, it is now 5K,0do,IUi
dozen, which, at only ten cents a dozen,
would exceed the value of the product
of the silvermines. It would lie vastly
more reasonable for Congress to order
the coniulsory purchase of $ ,XmKl
worth of eggs per month, 'in order to
sustain the hen products of the Enited
States,' than it is to buy ,mtMM)
worth of silver, lieeause the eggs could
I used, or else wot.ld rot, while the
silver can not lie used, and is expensive
t- store and to watch."
Kamk'IJ'H Bartox, who headed the
Democratic electoral ticket in Mary
land, has withdrawn, and will support
the Itepuliliean nominees. In a letter
to Hon. Hattersley W. Talliot, chair
man of the Democratic 8tate central
committee, Mr. Barton says: "It might
lie possible for me to dismiss the resolu
tions aimed at the Supreme court and
President Cleveland and the civil oer
vice law as mere generalities, intended
to soothe the spleen of such men as Till
man and Altgeld, but to the dangerous
t-rror of the money resolution I find it
iniKMsible to reconcile myself. I can
think of no class of our people, from
the day laborer to the capitalist, who
will not suffer disastrously by the delu
sion that inflation brings prosperity. I
do not wish to identify myself with a
Kliinl party urging the measures of-
fered to the people in the Chicago plat
form. I am most reluctantly forced to
toe conclusion that. McKinley and Ho-
Iwrt at this time represent the best in
terests of the people, and I shall vote
f r them."
Thk fanner and the laboring man of
this country are awakening to the fact
that tlie money question is not the only
one that affects them. The St. Ixjuis
convention that nominated McKinley
declared for that protection which of all
things w ill benefit tlie working classes
of this country. -At the Chicago con
vention, however, tlie same old demand
for free trade was made that free trade
which w rought so much ruin and mis
ery in this country. If we want a re
turn to prosperity we must na-enact the
McXinley law, and that can only be
done by the election of tlie Ilepublican
ticket. And the farmer, workingman,
business man, merchant, manufactu
rer, producer aud w age-earner of every
tariff

It is commie!, even by the Populists,
that Mckinley will carry all of New
England, and the doubtful States of
New York, New Jersey and Connecti
cut It is also conceded by Sound
Money Democrats that he will get Del
aware, Maryland and West Virginia,
and lie luu more than an even chance
in Kentucky and Tennessee. The battle-ground
is thought to lie in Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana and Michigan, but the
republicans have no fear of any of
tin States, nor of Nebraska, South
Dakota and Washington, with good
prosects of California and Oregon.
The two national conventions held
in t. Ixhiu last week, says the Phila
delphia Tiniea, weftf composed chiefly
of the crankier portion of the crauks
who erected the standard of repudia
tion and lawlufc-ness in the Democratic
convention of Chiragn. Mlofthe three j
eouvcu lions wanted tlitsanie candidate
for President U'iuide ie is tlie embodi
ment of repudiation, pouimuuisiu. and
anarchy.
It was only IogkI tliut a uwarru of
the crankier cranks from Chicago could
not be guided into expedient action at
St. Ijouis, even with Chairman Jones,
of the so-called Democratic national
committee, present as master of cere
monies. The cranks of SL Louis had
to carry ot.t some particular crank of
their own, and they accomplished it by
rejecting Mr. Sewell, the Chicago can
didate for Vice President, aud nomina
ting Mr. Watson, of Georgia, who is as
nearty the counterpart of Bryan as pos
sible, for the second place ou the ticket.
Of course there will be some fri'-tion
and considerable sloughing off from
this triple alliance of political revolu
tionists, but the chief desertion will be
from the old Democratic line that must
revolt in tlie most aggressive way
against the prostitution of the Demo
cratic name aud flag to principles which
are at war with all Democratic record
and traditions.
Let no one doubt, however, that what
tihall be left of this triple alliance of
revolutionists when the closing day of
the campaign are reached, will be thor
oughly united on one electoral ticket in
every State. It is their only hope of
success in many of the debatable States,
and without such union even the wild
est of them could not hope to elect their
ticket.
The battleof 1890 must be fought from
the standpoint that it Ls a direct issue
between the supporters of national hon
or and integrity on the one side, and
the opponents of national honor and
integrity on the other side, with the
lines so distinctly drawn that none can
mistake them. - The issue is presented
in the clearest terms to the people of the
United States, and the decision to be
rendered must determine whether the
great free government of the world can
maintain its faith and protect its peopl
against the repudiation and revolution
ary elements of the land.
How Silver Eai Benefitted Farmers.
From the Canton Repository.
It has been claimed that farm lands be
gan to go down in 1S73, when silver was
demonitized for the time. From 17IG to
1S7.", including the rule of Democratic
and all other parties, only eight million
dollars of silver had been coined. Since
then six hundred million dollars of sii
ver has been coined under the Bland and
Sherman laws.
And yet this did uot stop the deprecia
tion of farm values.
I'uring the single year ending June.
eleveu million dollars was coined
from the hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of silver bullion lying in the treas
ury vaults, whieh-the government had
bought in the effort to coin and consume
the product of the American silver mines
only. Thus there was coined last year
alone nearly fifty per ceut more silver
than was coined during all the years of
Democratic and other party rule from
lTttlto 1K7.S. If increased silver coinage
increased farm values, farm would be
worth 7i times as much now as in 173.
Hut they do not sell for that much more.
They sell, instead, tor much less. Now
the United States guarantees every silver
dollar to be as cood as gold.
But it is proposed to coin in the United
States mints for the miners of the world
free of rliarge, silver dollars out of 1
cents worth of their silver.
It is easy enongh to sec where thesilver
miner will get his profit. But just how
niu-ii silver w ill increase farm value.
with the experience of having 75 times as
much silt er now as in 1S7-1 is not so plain
Experience is the best teacher. Surely
more silver has not increased farm values.
'How Would Free Coinage Affect Xe V
From tb New York Herald.
This is the question that millions of
voters are asking to-day, and if it is
answered intelligently Mr. Bryan will b
swept out of sight in November.
If yoa are working for wages or a sala
ry, or if you are in receipt of a fixed sum
from investments or from a pension, then
free coinage would virtually reduce your
income nearly one-half and compel you
to live on a mnch poorer scale.
You would receive just the same nam
her of dollars as at present, but it would
take nearly two dollars to buy as much
clothing or food as you now get for one ;
your rent would be nearly doubled, and
every item in the cost of living would be
advanced ia the same proportion.
IK you doubt this? Reflect a moment.
The leaders in the free silver movement
have avowed that their purpose is to ad
vance prices. They tell the farmer that
with free silver be will get twice as much
for his wheat and corn as he now receives.
The intrinsic value of products would not
be changed by any trick we might play
with our coins. The prices of products
in the great markets of the world would
not be advanced, and right here they
would not exchange for any more gold
than betore, but they would exchange for
more of the silver dollars w bich with free
coinage, and we will presently show,
would be worth about fifty-three cents
each.
But they would by law be full legal
tender dollars. Your salary or peusion
or w ages would be paid with these dol
lars. They are the dollars in which yoa
would receive your income from invest
ments unless yoa have specially contract
ed tr gold. If any man owes you one
hundred dollars he could pay you with
one hundred of these coins, which would
buy no more in the markets than you can
get with fifty-three dollars to-day. If
your life is insured for ten thousand dol
lars, and you should die, your family
would receive ten thousand of the depre
ciated dollars, which would only buy as
sort, should not lose sight of the
many of tho nocwwaHwt and comforts of

ing association or loaneo uu
mortgage it would come hack to you In
the same .way in fifty-three cent dollar.
- Ifaman has ten dollars in his pocket
and chooses to declare that fifty-three
cento is a dollar he may f.Kl himself iuto
"tl.. iUel that he has uiueteen dollars in-
j stead often, but if he goes shopping and
: tenders fifty-three cents for a dollar the
j merchants will very quickly adjust their
prices to his depreciated sianuaru. uc.
be selects an article 'Darken len uuua
they will say: "Oh, yes, tnai is me price
in the old fashioned dollars, but we must
charge you eighteen dollars and eight
cento." Now, the government can't
create something out of nothing. It can
pall fifty-three cents worth of silver a dol
lar, and lke it legal tender for a dollar,
and so oninpcl present creditors ' accept
jt as payment Tor a dollar, but it is impo
tent as any individual to give it the pur
chasing power of an honest dollar, lie
cause every merchant at onoe raises the
price of hi goods to offset the deprecia
tion In the measure of value.
But how about the niassts who work
for wages or salaries ? They would be the
chief sufferers, because they could not at
once mark up the priee of their serriees.
Their would continue to cet the same
number of dollars as before, but could
buy only about half as muuli with them.
The dislocation of the currency would
derange many industries and lessen the
demand for 'labor, so that any rise in
wage would come but slowly, and they
would perhaps never again reach their
present hiirh purchasing pwer. Savings
banks, building associations and insur
ance companies would le compelled to
mv in thn rhaan dollars, because the
mouerg iiitristed to them are invested in
various wivi and could bo oolleiled n
nothing Isit the depreciated currency,
The active man of affairs would find op
portunities in shifting values aud general
derangement, and if the income of the
millionaire were cut down one-half it
would not seriously inconvenience hiiu,
but it would go hard with the worker,
who could buy on!y half as much as le-
fore w ith bis wages. The riuj) pould take
(sirs 'f themselves, but the masses would
suffer.
The question is asked. Why should
not a silver dollar under free uonge buy
as umcu a it does now T Because there
is only aliuiie! number of the silvei
dollars now in oUtiive aud ihe govern
ment is able to keep tbum equivalent to
gold dollars. But if all the world wure
nerruilled to briue silver to the mints
and cet a silver dollar for every 371 1
grains of it the government could not
kep this unlimited number of dollars
at a parity, and, like those of Mexico,
they would have to circuiaio at the value
of tlie illini they couUin, anil this at
the present price of silver is about fifty
three cents.
Repadiated at Home.
Frome the Unooln Call.
It is a sorry spectacle to see reputable
and law-abiding citizens of Liucoln, how
ever strongly they may be attached to
the Democratic party, announce their ap
proval of the platform and candidate.
The platform declares in favor of aliol-
ishine the existinir organization of the
Supreme Court.
Jt approves the course of Altgeld in en
couraging and abetting the Chicago
strikers.
It takes np the arguments of Waite and
Tillman for repudiation and secession
and ooenlv advorates the violation of
that commandment which says "Tbou
shalt not steal."
Bryan, a member of a Christian church.
openly and vehemently pleads for
chance to scale down the honest delt of
the people, lie advocates repudiation
w ith all the force and power of his elo
quence. He puts a premium on raseal-
itv. u raises fraud, and makes a fetich of
dishonesty.
He encourages deadljeatism as a virtue.
and tries to throw discredit on the home
ly virtues of thrift and honesty.
By his oratory and brilliancy he has
beeun to advertise Nebraska. Some
have been so short-sighted as to think
his advertising would be beneficial to the
commonwealth. But is it being adver
tised Pick up any reputable newspaper
east of the Missouri River and read the
answer.
Nebraska is called a "Populistic nest,'
"A community of repudiators," A typi
cal representative of the wild, woolly.and
lawless West," "A people who are try
ing to defraud their creditors," "A State
where stealing is a virtue."
This is advertising Nebraska, i es. it
is liooming with vengeance. Hut it is
starting it in the wrong direction. It is
leading it, not in the direction of more
wealth, lietter times, and prosperity; but
in the direction of repudiation, loss of
credit, dishonor, Wnkrnptcyt' ruin, and
general condemnation.
It is advertising Nebraska like Jerry
Sitnpson advertised Kansas; like Bloody
Bridles Waite advertised Coloradtt; like
"Dungfork" Tillman advertised S.mth
Carolina; like Anarchist Altgeld adver
tised Illinois; advertising it by the etern
al disgrai of its good name and by its
shameful dishonoring.
Nebraska has been long suffering and
patient. It has been a State of magmn-
cent prospects, and more or less satisfac
tory achievements. It has
given the country those worthy sons
whose honors have glorified the State

does seem too much.
It is the last straw. "How long, O

St. Lons, Mo., July The Texas
delegates to the Populist Convention
started for home to-night, and lsfore
leaving they said that they would not al
low Senator Jones, chairman of the Na
tional Democratic ComuiitUe, or any
body else to play any sawdust or groen
goods game on them. They are still very
angry over the nomination of Bryan, and
they believe that the People's party is
confronted with a very great crisis.
They have learned that Senator Jones
and Senator Stewart and iovernor Stone
have declared that it is not at all necessa
ry lor the Notification Committee of the
Populists' Convention to visit Mr. Bryan
at Lincoln.. They have ascertained, also,
that Senator Jones and his friends do not
believe that it it is necessary for Mr. Bry
an to come out and formally acecpt the
nomination of the convention.
TheTexans and their friends do not
like any such programme as this. They
believe a great deal In their party. They
believe that Senator Jones aud hia friends
were coniielled to come here and crawl
npon their knees in order to have Mr.
Bryan nominated, aud they say that
what is good enough to lie asked for is
good enough to be ait-epted. They look
on the present programme as a sawdust
game, and they speak of it as such, and
they w ill not tolerate it.
The "middle-of-the-roaders" have
practically organized what may turn out
to be a bolt from the Populist party.
They are now working under a resolu
tion which declares that if Mr. Bryan
does not formally accept the nomination
of the Populist Convention within the
next thirty days. Colonel S. F. Norton,
of Chicago, who got 311 votes in the
convention, is to be declared the regular
candidate of the convention by the "middle-of-the-road"
men.

Despite His Refusal
"TOM" WATSOX. OF GEORGIA, FOR VICE
PRESIDENT.
The Populist Convention, after four
days of heat, turmoil, and unlimited ora
tory, completed its laliors Saturday af
ternoon and aljourned sine die. Ni-
withstanding the receipt of one or more
telegrams from Mr. W. J. Bryan, declin-
ne to permit the use of his name on the
Populist ticket unless Mr. Arthur Sewall,
his associate on the Chicago ticket, was
also indorsed. Mr. Bryan was plil In for
mal nomination, as originally contem
plated by Jeneral Weaver, of Iowa, and
was seconded by one or more siwikesmen
from every State ami Territory, with
aliout 10 exceptions, and on a balbtt ro
ceived VH2 votes, against &U 6 Colonel
Norton, of Chicago, who at the la4 mo
ment was selected as the candidate of tlie
unreconstructed "middle-of-the-road"
element. -
It was the intention of this fai-tion ear
ly in the morning to place Kugene .
Dubs In nomination aud thus to force the
labor issue to the front, but Mr. Debs
telegraphed declining to serve, and his
telegram was respected. Strenuous ef
forts v ere made without avail by Igna
tius Donnelly and others to obtain some
kiudof an assurance that Mr. Brytm
would a)-cet the nouiiuatioji and stand
UMn the platfbrm. The permanent
chairman, Senator Alleu, of Nebraska,
admitted that he had received some kind
of a telegram from Mr. Bryan, but he
said he had paid no attention to it. He
also said he had received one supposed
to be from Governor Stone, but would
uot open it until he reached his home in
Nebraska,
Bufure aiUournlnsr, the convention
adopted a resolution, clot hi ug the Nation
al Committee with plenary power to do
anything and everything which the con
vention itself might have done if iu ses
sion. This, of course, would aqthorlae it
to take down the names of either Mr.
Bryan or Mr. Watson, or both, if neces
sary, and to construct an eutirely new
tit-fcrt. Tjie National Committee was en
larged so ai to coii!Ut of thro(i lqcmbcra
from each State and Territory. Iut, nat
urally, tlje power conferred, upon this
cumbrous body wilj eventually be lodged
in an Executive Comnittee of njorenjan
ageable size. A noticeable feature of tljc
last moqfii)Ui of tfe convention was tljo
fat that, though tUo nult of the ballot,
for President a annouooed, it hu qo(
followed up by auy dotlaratiou on the
part of the Chair that Bryan had been
duly chosen the candidute of the People's
party for President of the United States.
The convention separated in bad humor,
many of the delegates openly denouncing
the ticket as a !tbeatrieal" one,
l E F&KslDEST 'AXKI KIRsT.
The convention had two viou3 Fri
day, one lasted far into the night,
A platform was adapted as presouted
by the Bryan majority of the resolutions
committee, the more radical declarations
of the anti-Bryanttes gutting no hearing.
The Impending defuat of Sewall led
Chairman Jones, of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, who has !een closely
watching the Populists' proceedings, to
telegraph to Candidate Bryan, who made
a definite declaration in reply, that he
would not accept the nomination if Se
wall was not also nameiL
Ths opposition to Sewall practically
swamped the Bryaq forces at the day
session. The leader were powerless to
check the strong feeliug against the IUth
shipbuilder and banker.
For the first time the "middlo-of-the
road" element showed generalship
worthy of the name. Recognizing the
fact that all hope of defeating Bryan's
nomination was lost, they concentrate!
all their efforts against Sewall. They de
vised a cunning scheme by which the
convention was forced to nominate the
Vice President before the President.
When the proposition was made
to
change the regular onjer of the noiq illa
tions, the Iryan men strained every
nerve to prevent it Congressman Skin
her, chairman of the North Carolina dele
gation cast the solid vote of the State
azninst the chance. When the vote was
figured up, however, and he ascertained
that there was a majority of twenty-six
in favor of the proposition, the vote o
the delegation was cast for the proposi
tion and the antis emerged from the con
test w ith a majority of 170.
This made the defeat of Sewall and the
nomination of a Populist 'for Vice Presi
dent practically certain.
Tho voting for vice Presideut began at
five minutes past midnight. The result
of the ballot bad not iiceii announced be
fore the changing of votes began, and
delegates almost tumbled over one anoth
er to change their votes to Watson, who
soon haif enough to insure a nomination,
IbiMigh the whole proceedings were so
irregularly uonducted that the clerks
uould not make a record. Finally Texas
changed lu'l to Watson and settled it.
Motion was made to suspend the rules
and make Mr. Watson the unanimous
choice of the convention. As soou as this
had lieen done the lights went out. This
threw a (.amper on the usual circus pa
ade, which hail lcen all arranged for.

and, we think, h'ippily j ine I. Tua Re
publican party stands for the maintenanoe
of the gold stinl.irl; th) Djnuratic
party advocates the free and unlimited
cjinage of silver, die ptrty i for thj
dollar of Commercial Eirope; the other
is for the dollar of China and Peru. One
party insists that the honor and credit of
the Government shall be maintained; the
other would dearade the national honor
by repudiating the national obligations,
(toe party insists on the full dollar, re
cognized everywhere in the world, for
the wage-earner, the farmer and the
creditor; the other insists that labor and
crops and debts shall be paid with affl
uent dollar. The Republican pirty's
success next November will me in the
maintenance of the national honor and of
a truthful money standard, a first step to
wards the return of a general prosperity
that is dependent, first af all, upon a sane
uurrency system. The beuvjeratic party's
success will mean national dishonor, the
triumph of ignorance, oi a sectional and
class war upon the vested rights, upon all
that goes to make for the prosperity of
the merchant and the farmer, and for the
constant ami Justly remunerated employ
ment of the laborer. It will mean the ex
clusion of American securities from the
markets of the world, because they will
then represent the had faith of a nation
of dishonest repudiators. It will mean
half-pay on savings bank djposit, life
insurance policies, trust funds, pensions,
salaries, and wage-i. Incomes will buy
less and prices will go np. It will mean
the triumph of a socialism that will ex
clude from participation in its doubtful
benefits the thrift .and euergy of the
country. It will mean the plunging of
the United States into an age so dark
that the imagination shudders at th?
prospect of such a reign of brutal and be
sotted ignorance as the civilized world
has not known for centuries. If anything
that can happen In this early stage our

of the democratic

Democratic party at the coming election.
OR. BATJOHER 8 RETIREXEHT.
Aa Alnmnus at the Oettyibnrg College Re
pliei to the Professor' Opea letter.
To the Kditor the Press. (Phil.)
. Sin tn your issue of July u there ap
peared an open letter from Dr. II. 1oui
Baugher to the Board of Trustees of
Pennsylvania College, a letter, in which
he sought to vindicate himself against the
recent action of the ltoard in displacing
him from the chair of Ureek in the col
lege. The relation which the under
signed sustains to the institution,' or
whether he sustains no official relation
at all, is a matter of no consequence.
F.nough that he is an alumnus of the
college and that he has taken pains to
discover the facts involved in the agita
tion lliat baa culminated iu this removal
of Dr. Baugher. The facts are simply
these: For some years past there have
been warm controversies in the tieneral
Sy msl of the Lutheran Church, both iu
connection with a new order of worship
and in regard to dixtrinal tendencies.
The policy of the lioard and of the presi
dent has lieen to exclude these contro
versies from the class rooms of the college
as having no legitimate place there. The
college is under the auspices and in the
special interest of the Luthoran Church,
but in its organization and rules provides
that the class-room instruction ia the re
quired regular course for graduation
shall be urtsoctarian. lieitiiininalioual
teaching, Uuvvevor, ia provided for those
who are willing to at tomb But Dr.
Baugher Insisted on dragging in those
denominational differences and making
them subject of discussion, perverting
the recitation hour from its proper use
and agitating the institution with con
troversy and strife
Iu defining the duties, of tho now
Amanda Rupert Strong professorship of
the P.nglish Bible, a few years ago, the
JJixird of Trustees required Dr. Baugher
and all others who were disposed to do
so to desist from this disturbing and
demoralizing practice. This action was
seized upon by Dr. Baugher for still
more violent measures, flooding the
Cherub wtU lnnmmatvy appeals,
charging that the college was being
loosed from its Lutheran m,iKrniiigH, and
calling on the Church to resist. The
charge was a gratuitous misrepresenta
tion. If made in ignorance, it was an in
excusable Ignorance; If made knowingly,
it was worse than a misdemeanor. For
the relation given the college to the
Lutheran Church in the definition of this
tjow clair was, in perfect agreement with
that which it h.ad sustained, froii) its ia
ccptioit tl)o s-i")o as. tl it implied in its
very charter. This Is a question of pure
(ant, ascertainable and artained from
the otllcial documents. !yver was there
an Issue more thoroughly fictitious than
that raised In the charge. This the board
showed in an exhaustive statement of its
action in reply to Dr. Baugher' a attack.
Nevertheless a violent and bitter crusade
was inaugurated am) carried on iq Var
ious synods, against tl)e Isiard and its ad
niinis,truti'Ji of !je institution, tiejr.ite
dissatisfaction and disfavor on this and
otbor unfair' grounds, In this way not
only was the internal harmony of the
nollego impossible and insubordination
excited against its authority, but the
Church was kept agitated by false repre
actuations of its relations aud work. As
a professor. Dr. Baugher maintained a
fight against the action and administra
tion of the board that employed him.
misrepresenting that action- and seeking
to force the institution to bend to his own
will. In spite of all efforts of the Board
of Trustees to secure peace and hanuon
jous co-operation, the strife has been kept
up, leaving the board no alternative but
the action taken at last m.wtiug.
And here we come to a fact that mut-t
be known and remembered If this action
is to I e rightly un lorstooil. A knowledge
of it is essential to a correct vievr of tb e
case. Dr. Baugher held his professorship
under sins-ial terms and a distinct con
tract. Knowing this and the importance
of its Ix-ariugon the situation we ascer
tained precisely the fails in regard to it.
They are briefly these: He hi I beeu in
the employ of the institution licfore as
professor of the tjjreek language and
literature, fronj ls-M t i 1S73. Iis special
talent for self-will and contention was
then already well developed. It was dis
turbanoa In the faculty and disagreement
with the board. When, in InTU, he re
signed, duspite his prollcieney as a teach
er of Greek, his resignation brought to
many a fueling of relief. When, lu 1H
the Greek chair became vanmt againj
and Br. B Higher ifbsiring to return t it,
the Board of Trustee, rememVring p ist
exerience and providing against future
oiitiugencie-t, bafore procec ling to an
election, adopted the following resolu
tions: Rosolved, That the appointment of a
Franklin professor of Greek lan;jij
and literature is tendered by tho Biard
of Trustees, and ii accepted by th3 pr -fessor-elect
with the understanding ba
tween them that the said professor shall
ii'it resign bis chair withnjt giving at
least six months' previous notice thereof
to the board or one of its ouVers; and
that the IVan of Trustee h ive the right
in their discretion aud to maet emergen
cies to modify the duties of said professor
or bis compensation, or to discontinue
hisservkvM ti Uko efTi :t iu n t low fit i
six months from the date of such action.'
When notified by a committee of his
e'ection nnder these term, Dr. B liigher
indicated his readiness to ai3jpt tht
chair,, but objected ti the teruu an 1 tin
idea of the b lard's autlority as iui.'jliol
iu the resolution. Whrenp in the bvir 1
a iopted and transmitted to hi in tho fol

"Resolved, That the coin-niltee be fu
st ru cted to wait npon Dr. Baugher with
the foregoing resolutions and reque-tt an
im mediate acceptance or refusal in writ
ing, in accordance with the terms of
these resolutions."
Finally, after some further delay. Dr.
Baugher sent to the board the following
acceptance:
To the Board of Trustees of Pennsylva
nia College.
"Dear Sirs: I hereby accept the Frank
lin professorship of the Greek language
and literature in Pennsylvania College,
under the terms of the re-tolutions puse.l
in reference thereto to-day.

Gettysburg, June 21, hit.
It Is thus clearly ssan that what hu
been Interpreted as a violent anil wrong
ful removal of Dr. Baugher is in fact only
a quiet and peaceful notification of tha
dissolution of the relation according to
express agreement between the parties to
it. When Dr. Biigh-jr hu bjjn keeping
up through years and iu m my ways a
fight against the very bard white ad
ministration of the institution he agreed
and bound himself to re gni.e loyally.
who can blame the board when it almost
unanimously expresses Its wish to have
the relation terminated ? However si neere
Dr. Btugher mty ba, ths biard juljl.
nd we balieve rightly, thit a eoititt i-
auce of the connection wa. inompotilila
with the necessary peaca, harmony and
co-operation in the work of tha institu
tion, and that they did bim no wrong
rben they simply cirried out the well-
understood contract in the case.
In his "open letter" Dr. Baugher refers
to the board's action as makin? no f
'specific or direct charge" against him .
It was not because none could hive bail
male, but according to the contract with
him they were not necessary. Besides,
no number of charges of spis-ific offenses
could express tho gravamen of the
trouble hi his whole attitude of disturb
ing self-wIIU
Readers of the open letter will retneru
Isir, too, that he distinctly confesses his
antagonism to the "administration" of
ths c'lege under the Isurd. Though he
accepted bis profeasoiship . under the
agreement to recognize the "supreme
governing power" of the Isiard. he has
beon making appeals to the public and to
synods against the board, with a view to
override its action. And consistently
enough, this "open letter" is another ap
peal for an "arbitrament" against the
board's administration, because they
have not accepted all his w ill or lieen
satisfied with hid contentious niethisls.
Some of the assumptions of the "letter"
are sublime; for instance, that he especi
ally "stood for the inlerostaof the Luth
eran Church," and Air thoroughness and
letterment of tho standard" of the col
lege. With a faculty, every mcuils-r a
Luthoran, and a Imm rd overwhelmingly
Lutheran, and devoted to the work of the
institution, many of whom have given
largely and labored all their lives for tho
Lutheran Church aud her educational
service, this modest claim of the Doctor
becomes rather absurd. This picture,
drawn of himself, as standing between
the board and the college, heroically
striving to defend the college as well as
the Church against the board shows him
to be a man of highly imaginative temper
ament. It ought reasomtiilcy tolio Ixdievo
that this Iilheraii faculty ami this Uwtrd
composed almost entirely of most repre
sentative Lutheran minis ters and lay
men, as well represent the Lutheran
Church as Dr. Ifctugher does and know as
well and are as devoted to her education
al progress as himself. Their practically
unanimous decision in the premises mny
well count as not only ftual, but rijtht.

Thompwox, Ga., July ii. Thomas I,.
Watson, the Populist nominee for vlee
president, yesterday said: I will ao-ept
the nomination. I wired my friends in
St. Louis to that effect. I had it in the
interest of harmony, and to prevent tlie
disruption of the Populist party, which
seemed iiiiiqincnt. The movement for
fusion was immensely greater than I had
any idea of two weeks aga I was origi
ally for a straight-out IMpulist ticket,
but the doinand for fusion was so great
that it could uot Is) withstood. Total fus
ion or adoption of the entire Iteutocratic
ticket would havt killed tho Populist
party, As it is, the integrity of the party
is preserved. Under the circumstances,
I fully endorse the policy pursued by the
convention. There is no reason why I
should refuse to receive the support of a
man who agrees, with me in three essen
tial principles, because he doe not agree
with we iu (bur I should rather accept
his aid aud tuank bim for it- If Mr.
Bryan accepts the Populist nomination,
I believe our ticket will be elected.

most extraordinary msmi rrence which
hapM-ned upon bis farm this week. lie
has a jiotato patch of an acre and a half,
near tho western line of his farm,
adjoining the land of Samuel Kendcr
dine. This place was so infested with
potato Isigs that, several weeks ago, he
gave up any hopes of having a crop,
and allowed the bugs to have their own
way.
In tlie latter part of last week the army
worms invaded the farm of his neighbor,
Mr. Kenderdine, and by Sunday the
worms were crossing over into Mr.
Kckenrode's land. Karly Sunday morn
ing he found xtato Isigs assembled in
countless thousands on the edge of the
patch nearest to Mr. Kenderdiqe's laud,
and facing the direction from which the
at my worms were i-oming. As soon as a
worm would come within reach of the
hugs ono of them would fasten itself up
on his lack and liegin to eat him, soon
causing its death. In a short time the
worms began to come by the thousands
and tens of thousands, and the battle
raged most furiously.
The army of potnto beetles was apjuir
ently numberless, and as fast as the army
worms came on they were attacked and
killed in the way before describeL The
slaughter went on at such a rate that in
a few hours a strip of ground about 10
fuet wide along the edge of the potato
patch was covered to an average of a foot
In depth with dead worms. Mr. Kcken
rode estimates that the dead worms will
weigh proliably eight tons. He intends
to use them for fertilizing purposes.

Bostox, Mass., July 2k William E.
Woodward, a destitute young Itoston
man, who has been out of work for
months, and who, on account of his pov
erty, has been forced to move from one
lioarding house to another, has suddenly
fallen heir to a legacy of $X(m,ui.
Strangoasit may seem, this vast sum
was recently willed t him by a man
whom he had never set eyes upon.
Woodward, who is in delicate health,
and has been undor doctors' care a year
or more, is 21 years of age, aud a native
of New Brunswick. He has lived in
Boston six years. Part or this time he
was employed in a publishing house and
at other times has canvassed for the sale
of installment books and periodicals.
For a short time be worked for a large
dry gootls house. The pa.it yuar or two
he has beer, exceedingly unfortunate,
and iifteu hardly kuew where his next
meal was uiming from.
Iist Thursday a Huston friend of his
received a telegram fruu a mutual friend
in kail FraiH'iwo asking fur Woodward's
whereabouts, and stating that he had
seen in a uewspaper that Woodward had
been left a large so in of money. Wood
ward took no stock iu this telegram. Wit
his friends advised him to ask for more
particulars, and he did so, with the im
portant result above stated.
A trustee of the estate of Theodore S.'
Woodward telegraphed the young Bos
toniau asking him to come to San Fran
cisco at once on account of the property
awaiting him. The young man had but
ten cents in his pocket when this came.
He sent a "oolleif' telegram, which
read:
"Am nnable to come Sir want of funds.
Advise me,"
Then tmu the word that the trustees
were almut to leave for Boston, and a
letter resived to-day gave ftill partic
ulars, including a copy of the will, which
in plain figures leavea him stocks, bonds
and real estate to the value of , 011,

land speculator and mining man. who

who died in June, leaving over f.,(Mt,
