If t lie Ul.i ml bill is vetoed
politics will be reorganized
the West ami South will join
forces ami fortunes and the
silver question will be the is
sue and a winning card. The
South will be a . wte on sil
r with all part it.--. Thelle
pnblifans will join in as we
believe ami there will je no
pirty but the silverparty on
the I)euurratie lines of bi-
metalism both gold ami sil
ver to be coined free. This
will be the main issue as it
looks to us now. With a
Western man like Bryan, or
Stevenson, nominated for
President and a Southern
man for Vice-President we
will carry the day. This is
the ida now with a great
many jteople. What shape
things will get into r.o one
knows.
President Cleveland is now
greatly perpl "xed if he takes
notice of the many appeals
Kent him urging the vetoe of
the Bland seigniorage bill.
It is stated that twenty-five
out of thirty telegrams sent
t!ie President from eveiy sec
tion of the country almost
urge the vetoe. Even many
sections of the South join in
and urge the vetoe. It is ev
ident however, thnt thePrew
ident will dojust as hethinks
right in the matter. The ef
fects of the bill on the busi
ness of the whole country, us
he will view it, will govern
him. To-day he will decide
the matter, it is statel. The
indications are that he v. ill
Tetoe the bill but tve presume
no one will know until he
acts.
We spent a part oi the cold
snap on North Fork, in
Ashe county, aud on Cove
Cieek, in Watauga, the fin
est wheat section we have.
On Saturday night we stay
ed with Thomas Sutherland
our genial good friend.
The fruit 6uch as peaches
and cherries were completely
cooked by the severe freeze.
We fear that some wheat
fields on Cove Creek have
been seriously injured, peach
es all killed. It has been a
very severe cold spell, the
creeks and branches frozen
over and the ground waa
frozen eqr.al to any part of
the winter perhaps. T h e
wheat and rye crops were un
usually promising before the
freeze.
Some Congressmen on the
Democratic side will in all
probability "hear something
drop" about nomination
times. The people are seri
ously thinking just along
now and have concluded that
a quorum of Democrats
ought to be had in the House
when there is business to be
done. Wonder what urgent
business many of them have
that they cannot remain in
the House that business
might go on? Our North
Caiolina members attend
rather promptly we areglad
to say.
There seems to be plenty of
hay, corn and wheat in Wat
auga. And we h- ve informa
tion that there is no scarcity
of bacon, many of the far
mers have" bacon to sell in
consequence there will be but
li tie of the Western bacon
sold this year. Watauga is
wellprovisionuled and unless
one is in debt the hard times
are not seriously felt.

that is the silver question.
Now. 1 say to you to day
what I said when I was here,
and what 1 have always he
lieved. th.it a larger use of
silver money and the coining
of silver upon a basis to bf
agreed upon that would
maintain its parity with
gold, was good for the whole
world. I do not believe that
we could run freeeomage our
selves, while the European
(lovermiients were pursuing
the policy they have been
pursuing with silver. Hut
there are clear indications
now in England and in tier
many that they are feeling
the effects of a scarcity of
gold and its prostrating ef
fect upon the industries. I
believe these two great coun
tries are narer right to-day
than they have been f.r the
l ist twenty years. Tney are
all considering favorably the
question of a larger and freer
use of silver as a money met
al at. I bimetallism has gain
ed strength in England. That
energetic and virile voting
Emperor of Germany is hi.-i-self
considering the question
of bi-niet-alism. I don't
think that these countries
are coming to the next silver
conference holding back, but
will come with greater readi
ness than in any recent years
and w ill agree with us upon a
basis for a larger use of silver
as money, I would h a v e
been glad if this could have
been accomplished while I
was at Washington. I said to
one of your Representatives
then that if I could bring a
bout the free use of silver up
on a basis that, in my judge
ment would maintain its par
ity as money. I would lather
signalize my administiation
by that act than any otl'.er.
Courier Journal : Represen
tative Meredith, of Virginia,
has heard from his recent
pension speech. He h a s
heard in a manner that
makes him feel a trifle un
comfortable and uneasy. He
received Monday from the
Stat" of Pennsylvania an
anonymous letter, within the
writer stated that he was
earning on to Washington to
wipe up the earth with the
genthrnan from Virginia.
Continuing, the writer furth
er said: "You d rebel, our
time has come. I shall do
you up on sight. Be prepar
ed." Mr. Meredith whs fool
ishly very much worked up.
although he made an effort
to treat the matter lightly.
All the same, his friends have
advised him to be on the
lookout, as at this season of
the year the dangerous
cranks are liable to turn up
at any mDment and ereate a
sensation.
We are disappointed and
are not able to give our rtad
ers this week the fate ol the
Bland bill now in the hands
of the President. We hoped
that Grover would promptly
pign the bill and let it become
a law, butas yet nothing has
been done and delays are al
ways more or less dangerous
in such cases.
