We constantly hear that the great preachers throughout the country are for gold. There never was a greater mistake. Many of the greatest and best ministers of all denominations are for Bryan and silver. We saw a list of them the other dav. but it would take up too much room to publish it. The false impression, no doubt, orig inates from the fact that numerous gold bug preachers are proclaiming their poli tics from the pulpit, while the silver preachers have more reverence for their calling. Everybody in Fayetteville knows Dr. Guerrant, the great Presbyterian divine of Kentucky. Dr. Guerrant in writing to a friend, says : "Bryan will carry Kentucky by 20,000 majority. This State is aroused as neyer before and will crive Brran 20 nnn moi'A;. y , .TheTrapacity of the goldites is intol erable. It will cause their overthrow.
