Blaine called forth the widest applause
and three cheers for each OF those gentle
men. After musical programme had been

the honor to present to you the next gov
ernor OF Ohio and one OF tho future presi-
dents of the United States, Hon.
VIM. Mckinley, Jr.'. This unexpected
sally WAS greeted with cheers long
continued, and followed by three cheers
characters in which he was introduced.
Maj. Mckinley, in his address, said, in
part: "One great glory Of the republican
party is that 1T can look into the past with
out blushins and into tho future without
fear" The speaker then s!sctched tho his
tory of the democratic party III Kansas and
Nebraska legislation, and tho proposition
to consider the bill to buy Cuba to extend
slavery, for which it voted down n proposi-
tion to consider the homestead law. The dem
ocratic party opposed tho greenback when
II was necessary rs Il war measure. IL was
for peace ut any price when W. we're ut
war for the life Of the nation 1t opposed
| the resumption OF specie payments. 1t op-
posed the emancipation proclamation. 1t
has been the party of opposition. 1t has OPP
posed every measure for the advancement
| OF the nation. 1t opposed protection.
| Tremendous cheers
| Mckinley said they carried tho country
| in 1880 by an immense majority and demo-
Gratis arc afraid to interpret the policy on
which they won the victory. They de-
nounced the tariff and did not know what
the tariff was.
TO the charges that the Fifty-first con-
gress was expensive, Major Mckinley said
1t used great deal of money. but paid it's
debts and large arrearage left over by the
flftieth congress. 1t kept all it's pledges
save the election BILL and it was no fault
of congress that that did not pass. I've
kept faith with the creditor that bought

mean to keep faith with that other creditor

who offered his life III defense of the coun-
try. We atamped the life out of repudia-
ton. AS to the circulation of currency, il
more be needed it will be forthcoming, but
whether it be gold, silver or paper. it must
| be worth just what its face says its value
is." 10 the charge that the mission Of the
republican party had ended, MIR. Mckinley
said, mo, it will not end until the Ameri-
can ballot is as sacred as the American

Their Coming Will Precipitate More
Trouble in the Coke Region.
SCoTrDALE, Pa, April 2l.-Four carloads
of heavily armed Pilkerton guards arrived
at the coke region to-day. 1t is thought
these men will take the place of the militia.
as the governor will not allow the National
Guard to be used to evict strikers. Their
coming means further trouble, which will
certainly follow owing to the hatred in
which they are held. A meeting of the
executive board of mine workers this eneu-
ing made preparation in financial and other
ways to proioag the fight. Five or six
hundred Italians are also on the way here
to take tho places of strikers and this
causes moro bitterness. dispatch from
uuiontown says noted socialist named
Jones Is coming into the region tomorrow
to hold mass meetings. Labor leaders say
they are not in sympathy with him but it is
known that the socialists are the most do
termined of strikers.

HIRED TO COMMIT MURDER.
Tho Confession OF Buries0n-The Mystery
Of HOwell's Disappearance.

ARDMoRK, /. T., April 2l.--Ed. Howell, a
quarter-blood Indian, who disappeared from
Robinson's store, /. r., forty FIVE miles from
Ardmore, about the 9th OF January last, it
ia now known, was murdered by one Bill
Burleson, hired to do the killing by Frank
Jones and one Armon. At any rate, such is
the confession of Burleson.
After Howell was missed the suspicious
of the people of that community rested
upon the man mentioned. One DIR. Morgan
worked himself into Burleson's confidence
and gradually wormed out the whole
horrible story. Burleson stated to him
that he was to get $500 for putting
Howell out of the way. He secreted
was expected to pass, and. when no
came along, fired upon him, the
bullet striking Howell in the heart and
killing him instantly. Bnrleson then
threw the body across the horse and car
ried it to the house of Jones and Armon
able to pay him, but offered to break him
farm of 100 acres if that would answer as
we'll Jones and Armon took the body and
buried it for few days i'll an empty
cabin. Fearing. discovery, they soon re-
moved it to spot eight miles away and
buried it.
When Burleson made his confession to
Morgan, he told where the body had last
been placed, but upon search it was found
that it had been removed. Then charred
bones were found near Armon's house, lead
ing to suspicion that the body was burned
there. These pieces of bone have been e1-
amned by several physicians who pronounce
them human bones. The cabin where Bur
Lesson said the body was first placed was
examined and the evidence found corrobo-
rated his story. He also said that at the
spot where he shot Howell the ground was
stained with blood. and upon digging down
such was found to be the fact.
So far all discoveries agree with Burle-
sons confession but since his arrest he
denies that he had anything to do with the
killing. He says. though, that he did tell
Morgan a lot of stories. Jones and Armon
were tenants on Howell's farm, and their
only motive for having him killed was to
get full control of the farm. Morgan came
here few days ago and informed the Off
GERS, who Immediately arrested the three
who were committed to-day to Jail without
bond at Paris, Tex.
