unreservedly endorses its platform as
adopted by the state convention of that
party yesterday and lalds its nominees
in the most eulogistic terms. That paper
has hitherto been regarded-by itself at
least-as the exponent of Democracy, in
all of its unadulteration; the mouth-piece
of the party in all this section, and it
Will be interesting to see whether it will
be able to retain sufficient grip upon its
former following to carry them over into
the new camp. We shall see.

From the public declarations of their
speakers and the verbiage of their reso-
lutions one would think the U. L. party
had special grounds for complaint
against the Republican party in Kansas,
but the facts are that seven articles en-

of Labor are covered by state laws
passed by Republican legislatures, and
two others are Incorporated in the pres
ent Republican platform, which pledges
the party to their enactment. Do they
expect to monopolize legislation:

One of the principal counts preferred
against the Democratic party has been
its failure to redeem its promises to the
country of a general reform of the adj
ministration of the government, the first
and chief item being the reduction Of
the surplus in the treasury. That count
will have to be modified or amended,
since it is ascertained by carefully pre-
pared estimates that they have perform
ed that promise, in part at least. The
condition of the treasury as shown by
Senator Allisons statement-and Mr.
Beck says the Iowa senator is perfectly
fair III his estimate-disclosed the fact
the surplus has been reduced, by large
ly increasing the expenses of the govern
ment. At the rate Of reduction made
by the Cleveland administration another
four years of that regime would find the
treasury balance largely on the other
side of the cash account.

The Gould.Sage Case.

New YORK, 16-The witnesses to be
summoned on Monday, in the Could
Sage case, will include the complainant
ana the security holders, about twenty
in number. Among the documents
submitted to the grand jury, was
pamphlet containing printed argu-
ments of counsel fer complain ants and
defendants. heard by District Attorney
Fellows, with closed doors. curing this
month, when considering the question
whether or not to lay the matter before
the grand jury. This pamphlet was
given to the press to -night.
Edward L. Andrews, who presented
the case on behalf of the complainants,
said: The essential attributes of the
case do lot differ from an ordinary case
of embezzlement. There is the
same entrusting of property, the
same appropriation, the same secretion,
the same demand and same thhold-
ing of embezZled property that ensues
in an ordinary case where the employee
takes what is entrusted to him by his
employer" The counsel went on TO
say that the only difference which this
case presented from ordinary embezzle-
ment was, that it was done under ap-
parent forms of law, one of the courts
of this State being made to become an
unwilling participant in their acts.
A. II. Holmes, on behalf of ,espon-
dents, argued that there was
no criminality in the proceed
lngs, nor were they carried
on in secrecy. All proceedings
were reported to the Secretary of the
Inferior in 1880 and subsequently, pre-
sented in q report to Congress. The
mortgage under which Messrs. Gould
and Sage were appointed trustees con
tanned clause which could very pro-
perly be construed so as to allow re-
lease of Denver Pacific stock.
John X. Dillon argued further in be-
half of the respondents. He went into
the proceedings with great detail, con-
tending that the decree of the Supreme
Court of New York was valid and pro-
perly obtained. If there was any
living soul who would make complaint
of this consolidation, il would be the
original Union Pacific shareholders.
The purpose of the consolidation, he
commended, was not to pay trust pro-
perty to the debtor company in order
that the company might Immediately
hand it over to Gould ana Sage, but
the object was to restore property to
the debtor company in order that
through it the consolidated company
might have the means of purchasing,
as it did purchase. properties necessary
TO protect itself from competitor, and
to promote its interests ana those of it's
bondholders
Judge Dillon next argued at great
length that the laws of limitations de-
barred all original proceeding.
Bourke Cochrans next spoke in op
position to the complaint being re
celved, contending in an elaborate argu-
ment that the prosecution had been
barred by lapse of time.
Andrews closed the hearing with an
argument and citations to show that
the statute of linitat ton does hot apply
under such circumstances.
