Governor Campbell by the Ohio demo-
Gratis and the adoption of a platform

of silver and a graduated income tax

Ohio platform brings the country face
to face with silver imitation on the old
battle field of sound currency-Ohio.
The republican party, in the act of July
IA, 1890 planted itself on the sound
economic policy of using silver. at its
market price to the full amount of the
American product as a basis of currency.
Any currency based on metal valued
above its market price is by that extra
price phantom currency. The one
safe basis for currency is a metal taken
at its market price in the world's market.
Democratic success will mean free silver
just as democratic success would have
meant, fifteen years ago, the, repeal OF
the resumption act and free green
backs." The Baltimore San .(dem.

the Ohio platform was adopted
against the protest of nearly half the
convention and as public sentiment il
developed it will be fonnd that even in
those sections in which free coinage is
strongest the party is divided in way
that forbids the idea of unanimity. A
declaration of doctrine made by SO slight
majority as in Ohio, practically
amounts to very little as an expression

A SUNDAY NIGHT BLAZE.
A DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION IN
CLEVELAND, OHIO.
Quarter of a Million Dollars Worth of
Property Destroyed - One Fireman
Killed and Two Seriously Injured.
The Flames Hard to Subdue.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 15.-One OF the
most threatening fires Cleveland has
had, broke out at o'clock this evening,
and before it was extinguished at mid
night, it had destroyed 100000 worth
OF property and resulted in the death of
one fireman and the serious injury of
two others. The fire started in the big
job printing establishment of Short &
Forman, fronting on Superior street, ex-
tending block through to Frankfort
street. The building was in the heart
OF the downtown business and banking
center, and surrounded by high brick
blocks. The fire burned fiercely, spread
rapidly to the four buildings adjoining,
mnd all were. soon enveloped in flames.
The johnson house, a five-story brick
building, fronting on Superior street,
was next in the path of the fire, and the
flames played over and around its roof.
The guests made hasty exit, and it
seemed almost certain that the hotel
would be destroyed, together with the
Weddell house, which adjoins it on the
east.
A general call for steamers was made,
and ten engines were soon at work.
One of the first steamers to arrive was
No. l, and Captain John Grady and
Firemen Michael Hawley and Charles
Ward OF the same company carried a
line into the burning building. An in
stant later one of the floors fell. crush
ing Captain Grady to death and seri-
ously injuring Hawley and Ward.
Grady's body was recovered, and the
other two were sent to the hospital,
where they are reported in critical
condition.
After an hours hard work the fire.
men gained mastery over the fire, saved
the two hotels, and confined the flames
to the Frankfort street buildings.
The total loss will amount to $685.
600; insurance about $l75,0OO. The
wires of the Postal Telegraph company
were burned off.

BANKER BAIRD'S BOOKS.
THEY SHOW CROOKED STATE OF
AFFAIRS.
Forgery After Forgery Unearthed-A
Number of New Complaints Sworn
Out-The Swindler Will Be Brought
to MADEIRA for Trial.

MADEIRA, CAL, Nov. 15.-As the ex-
animation OF the books of the MADEIRA
bank and the John Brown colony pro-
ceed, the number OF forgeries increase,
and this afternoon discoveries were
made that will enable the officers to
compel Baird to return to MADEIRA to
face thoseNe has swindled. A complaint
has just been sworn to by d. M. Tom
bin. cashier of the Bank OF MADEIRA,
charging Baird with having, on Febru-
airy 9th last, forged the names Of ]. A.
Jacobs and Sarah Young to promis-
sorry note for $500, payable on sight to
the Bank OF MADEIRA. A second COM
plant sworn to by Tomblin is that on
June 18th of this year Baird forged the
names of George Yost, 2. Connor and
j. N. Esing to note for $500, payable
on presentation. Another complaint is
the forging of Return Roberts's name
on June 10th to certificate for 200
r. HI. Mcdonald, Jr. and the last for
forging the names of Yee Chung,
Chinese merchant at Bardentown, few
miles south of here, and A. Anderson,
to a note for $672. This was dated June
Goth. A fact OF universal interest is that
Anderson died before the issuance OF the
note. So far as known the names con-
nected with the other forgeries are
mythical. Baird's wife is prostrated.
John Brown, co-founder OF the bank and
colony. passed through MADEIRA today on
his way to San Francisco in answer to
telegram from the Pacific bank.

subject discussed by vehement and ex-

hall this afternoon. The discussion con-
tanned scathipg, outspoken denuncia-
ton of the Chicago police force in gen.
era. and Inspectors Hubbard and Lewis
particularly. Red in the American flag
was discussed and declared token OF
universal brotherhood. AS the cher
ished color of the Anarchists it was
praised in the extreme, and the outbreak
OF the police against the color was
characterized as burlesque upon JUS
tice. Resolutions ridiculing the mayor
and chief OF police were introduced
by a Mrs. Woodman. M. Zanet Kin,
an escaped Nihilist from Siberia,
delighted the audience by asserting that
the only difference between Russia and
the United States was, in Russia re-
formers were hung by the czar, while
here Inspector Bonfield attended to the
duties Of executioner.
At turbulent trades and labor as
sembly Mayor Washburne, Chief Nc
Claughry, Inspector Lewis and the Chi
cago police were condemned IN un-
measured terms. Several speakers
declared that the recent raid made by
the police was the first move by those
in power against organized labor to de-
stroy it. A petition was introduced to
be presented to the city council tomor-
row night, asking that body to condemn
the intrusion the police made Friday.
The Citizens Alliance passed resolu-
tions demanding that the mayor inves-
tigate Friday nights raid.

of the Irish members behind him. From
that hour the Irish question became the
foremost factor in British politics, and
Parnell the most powerful member of
the commons"
Parnell's confinement at Kilmainham
Jail, his release upon his own terms
and his triumphant return to the COM
mons were recalled. His defeat of the
Gladstone ministry was reviewed. "The
conversion OF Gladstone to home rule
for Ireland" said Mr.. Depew, lis the
most momentous event in English poll
tics of our great generation. He went
to defeat and out OF power on the issue,
and has steadily kept it as his test of
faith"
Near the close Depew said: ireland
no longer fights with one arm tied and
the other held back by false friends.
Parnell freed them both. Ireland no
longer struggles alone; her cause is the
stake of one of the greatest parties of
England, and made so by Parnell."
The closing peroration was in these
terms: ''It was Parnell's task and fame
that he brought together 100000 of
his countrymen who had been for gen
erations torn by bitter feuds among
themselves, and then converted thirty
millions of an alien race and faith in the
confederate states of the empire, to see
the justice of his course, and join in de-
manding of the imperial parliament that
Ireland should be granted for her do
mestic affairs, self-government and
home rule. AS the rays of the morning

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 15.-Right Rev.
O'Brien, one of the papal chamberlains,
has arrived here from Rome, whence he
comes as papal representative to attend
the jubilee OF Archbishop Kenrick. Con-
cerning the pope's recent encyclical let
ter, O'Brien said: 1.-THE pope has done
nothing more than enforce the principle
contained in the commandment: Thou
shalt not steal Private property in
land has existed since all times. To
deny the assertion that the pope had no
right to enforce that principle would be
to deny the actnal fact of its existence.
The church has only taken the part of
the people against their oppressors. The
world looks upon the pope's position as
untenable. He will not leave Rome un-
less compelled. AS to whether he can
be compelled to or not is matter which
only the future can reveal. Jews and

that four strong men are unable to lift her

JOHN STEWART.

The Veteran Porter Again in Safe Keep
ing-Ris Friend, Mr.. Booth.
John Stewart, the colored exporter of
the Golden Eagle Hotel, who was confined
in the County Jail few days ago on suspi-
cion of insanity, was released therefrom on
Wednesday, he having apparently recov
cred his normal mental condition.
Yesterday Stewart developed renewed
symptoms of insanity, and was again
placed under restraint This time the doc
tors will examine him to determine whether
or not he is fit subject for the insane asy-
INN. He has been threatening to jump
into the river.
On Wednesday George W. Booth filed in
the Superior Court petition for letters of
guardianship on the estate of Stewart. The
petition states that Stewart is the possessor
of about $500 in money, diamond pin,
watch, ETC., and that he is being cared for
by petitioner.
If the estimate that the petitioner places
on the value of the exporters riches is cor
rect, somebody has been greatly deceived
on that score. The general impression has
been that John is pretty well fixed" finan-
cially. Few who have known him for the
past thirty years, and noted his provident
ways, have placed his bank account at less
than $4,000, and some say he is worth
twice that sum.

They Were Handsomely Entertained on
New Years by Mrs. Crocker.
On the last day of the old year Mrs.
Margaret E Croker invited all the inmates
of the Marguerite Home to lunch with her
at her residence, corner of Third and o
streets. Covers were laid for fourteen old
ladies, and they were served with as ele-
CANT repast as the market afforded.
At the close of the lunch Mrs. Crocker
presented each lady with a lovely souvenir
of the occasion. After period of rest the
guests were shown through the house
and then escorted through the art gallery,
and finally were sent out for drive about
the city and at last returned to the Home.
1t was thoughtful act on the part of
Mrs. Croker, gave unalloyed pleasure to
the guests, who were received and attended
with all the honors due friends and social
equals, and was as much enjoyed by the
