December.—One of the significant events that have recently taken place in the local political sit uation is the calling off by. Chairman William J. Connors, of the New’ York Democratic Slate Committee, of the conference of local, state and national I democrats that was to have been held | here on January 7th and Stb. All sorts of conjecture lias been indulged in as i* t lie rcMson for abandoning this meeting, but it may be asserted that, the real cause lies in the fact that f»n account of the recent declaration of National Chairman Thos. Taggart in favor of the candidacy of William Jennings Hryan for the presidency neither State Chairman Connors nor Charles F. Murphy was desirous of holding a confab as it might force them to sh \v their hands thus early in tin* campaign. Neither of these men could affoul to come out in open revolt against the Nebraskan, especial ly in view of his constantly increas Ing strength, and as they are still mak ing a. pret< xt of being in favor of Lieut.--(low Chandler, as New York* favorite son. they preferred to call tli. meeting off rather than risk the possi bility of incurring Ids displeasure or of being forced by popular clamor to come out in the open and declar themselves as followers of Bryan. . waiting game is what !>oth Connor and Murphy have decided upon, and le it is possible, even probable, that the New York delegaticn will g« .ninstrueted to the national conven tion. these men will sooner or late have to declare themselves adherent f Bryan. of this "mov»o of purification/’ many are disposed to term it, but no class, perhaps, is more concerned than the hotel proprietors. These men are up in arms over the matter, especially as regards the question of prohibition, and threaten to do all sorts of direful things if further at tempts are made to place the great city of New York under blue ribbon ranks. On several occasions of late proprietors of our leading hostelries have given expression and the words of Mr. William Forster, a prominent New York lawyer, uttered at the an nual meeting of the hotel proprietors New York state, shows to what extent they have been stirred up. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Foraker said: ‘The impious reformers in their •rusado find nothing sacred t<> them. What they care for the beau tiful traditions of the old C lonial inns for the fact that the father of this country. George Washington, found it not unfit for him to Did farewell, to his companions in arms in Fraunees’ avern, for the tradition that the first American flag was sew. d in a brew- nml the account that Patrick lien imbibed the fir-t inspiration of his patriotic career in a Virginia Ja\- His Only Medicine mml oncurr* d in by are inclined i: cD f. n: hav FOR SALE One of the Prettiest Homes in Clarke County A Large 8 Room House with all conveniences, with a very large lot con taining several acres of land and or-ly a short distance from car line.
