Phil Corcoran is his name. During
the past three weeks he has been do
ing everything in his power to get it
the name phil Corcoran) before
the people of this part OF the country.
Although he is not citizen OF the
state of Indiana, he announces him.

nominate candidates for office In the
city OF Plymouth. When the con-
ventiOn meets he places in nomina-
ton the candidates for all the Offices
OF impoi lance. assuming that he owns
and controls the workingmen OF
Plymouth This man Corcoran is not
fool any more than were the men
who sold wind mill right to Nicholas
Walle aud farmers OF the adjoining
counties. His soft soaping OF John
s. Bender, Robert Neil and other men
in Plymouth is done to accomplish
the same ends-to get money out OF
them, to support a cause that they
are at heart opposed to. Corcoran is
not foolish enough to believe in " fiat"
money. He knows that while the
constitution OF the United States
remains unchanged such thing is
impossible. The only editorial that
he has ever written since he came to
Plymouth that can be said to present
any definite political opinion contains
the following which shows where he
stands and what he Ia in favor OF:

not accept challenge without vio-

The General very properly told the

Secretary Sherman was interviewed
q few days since. and gave the follow
ing reasons why he does not believe
that money 10 scarce: Referring to
the immense sales OF the four per
cents, the Secretary said 1t was alone
evidence that money was abundant.
II money was really as scarce as the
Grsenbackers In Congress allege, how
would it be possible to find the own
ers OF hundreds OF millions OF money
willing to take four per cont. for It.?
Here Is a man." continued the Sec
retary by way 0f illustration, who
has ten Thousand dollars in six per
cent. bonds. They are called, and he
Is paid ten thousand dollars. What
does he do with It.? In nine cases
out OF ten he puts 1t In four per cents.
Why? The question answers itself:
saoney Is so abundant that he can not
safely do better. II money was as
.carce as Kelly, OF Pennsylvania. and
the Greenbackers generally allege."

During the last campaign, and
even at the present time the fiat"

are declaring that a party should be
placed in power that will issue money.

none have been foolish enough we
believe to Introduce such bill.

lend it TO corporations that will Ksver

talists to put in circulation a loan
that 1t is not supposed they will re
pay. in the vain hope that it will cir
culate at par as money. because it is
called money. 1t has been said by
some one, "the more gross the fraud
the more glibby will it go down, and
the more greedily will it be swallow
ed, since folly will always find faith
wherever impostors will find impu
dsnce." 1t Is this impotence and
this readiness to accept anything
which appeals to SELF and PROMISES
relief TO a certain class OF men that
gives prominence to what is called
the American System OF finance"
The name is Islander and misnomer:
no such system can ever have an
existence in this country while the con-
stitution OF the United States re-
mains unchanged. The constitution
esta- fishes a monetary system in
which the money OF the nation Is to
be gold and silver coin of such de-
nominations and weights as Congress
may establish. 1t provides: Con
gress shall have power TO coin money.
regulate the value thereof. and OF
foreign coins; TO borrow money on
the credit OF the United States. No
State shall coin money, emit bills OF
credit, make anything but gold and
silver a tender in payment OF debts.
There is no poser granted anywhere
In the constitution that recognizes a
monetary system except to "coin
money" and Ito borrow money" on
the credit OF the United States. The
issue OF greenbacks was a loan-a
borrow OF money on the credit OF the
nation. to be paid in noney-god or
silver: the greenbacks adj promise to
pay the money borrowed. The con-
stitution grants authority to provide
for the common defenss" and to do
whatever may be necessary for that
purpose. 1t was from this grant OF
authority that Congress derived
epower to make greenbacks a legal
tender. La the prssenes OF an ag-
gressive rebellion threatening the
existence OF the nation this forced
loan not otherwise obtainable was
rendered absolutely necessary. and
to save the government and provide
for the common defense" the green
back was made a legal tender. Tho

claiicg that il they are elected to

OF Kearney county, last Saturday.

went west at eighteen years of age,
and was only twenty three when he
was hanged. he was executed for
the murner OF Mrs. Harrison and her
three children and Swede named
Anderson. The murder Of the Harl
son family was the most deliberate,
cold blooded butchery on record.
The neighbors supposed that the
family had gone to Illinois on a visit,
and Richards remained in possession
OF the farm more than a month be-
fore the murder was discovered.
The dispatches say at l o'clock
RlcnarOS was taken 10 the ecaffOld;
he was so weak and unnamed that
he had to be assisted up the stairs
leading to the drop. He stated to
one OF the guards that he had not
eaten anything since Tuesday morn
ing. To the reporters he confessed
to the killing OF ten persons. No
attempt at a rescue was made. The
large audience was exceedingly
orderly. The murderer asked the
audience TO sing with him There is
fountain filled with blood" They
complied, the drop fell and his neck
was broken by the fall.

When It is desirable TO delay the process of
