The vIoe-Presidential Candidate.


 Adlai E. Stevenson, the democratic nominee for vice-president, is a resi- dent of Bloomington, Illinois. He was born in Christian county, Kentucky, October g, 1885, and received his pre- liminary education in the common schools of his native county. Later he attended Center College at Danville, Ky, and when sixteen years of age re- moved with his fathers family to Bloomington, H., where he studied law and was admitted to the bar. In 1859 he located at Matarora, WoodfOrd county, Illinois, and engaged in the practice of his profession. He remained here for ten years, during which time he was master in chancery of the cir cult court for four years and district attorney for like period. The con- spicuous ability with which he dis charged the duties of these responsible offices attracted the favorable attention of the people of the judicial district. and in 1864 he was named as the presi- dential elector for the district. Atthe expiration of his term of office as the district attorney for Woodford county, in 1866, he returned to Bloomington and formed law partnership with J. $. Ewing, which partnership still ex- ists. Mir. Stevenson was nominated for congress by the democrats of the Bloom ington distrlct in 1861. The district has been safely republican by almost inva- riably majority of 1000. MT. Steven. son was successful. His majority in this district exceeded l200. In this dis trict he had been nominated for the third time, and he was again elected and he increased his majority to 2000 At the expiration of his congressional term he resumed the practice of law in Bloomington. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention of 1884, which assembled in Chicago and after the election of Cleveland as president of the United States, he was appointed first assistant postmaster general. the duties of which are very laborious and exacting. During his incumbency of office he made the off cial and personal acquaintance of many of the men who seconded his nomina. tion to the vice-presidency.

For Free Coinage.

St Louis Republic.
 By the coinage plank of it's platform, adopted at Chicago, tue Democratic party pledges itself to coin silver on the same terms on which gold is coined; to maintain the parity of the silver, gold and paper money issued by tbe United States and to abolish the ex- isting premium of gold by the repeal of bullion storage act through which silver bullion is demonetized and the coinage of silver discontinued. The Democratic theory of bimetalism and of the free coinage of the precious metals is clearly eucidated in this clause of the Chicago platforms:
 Sec. '. We denounce the republican legislation known as the sherman act of 1890 as cowardly makeshifi fraught with possibilities of danger in the future which should make all of it's supporters, as well as it's author, anxious for it's speedy repeal. We hold to tie use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must Ee of equal intrinsic and exciiangeable value or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times iii the mar kets and in the payment of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeema- ble in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and labOring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and d fuctu-- ating currency
 This declaration of the free coinage principle, without which the bimetallic standard cannot be maintained, meets the demands of the bimetallists and at the same time cuts away the ground from under the feet of the advocates of the single gold standard, who have de- clared that the silver dollar is ''disbon- est money'' because by their legislation silver has been demonetiZed and gold forced to premium-an altogether artificial and unnatural premium. The Democratic party will not only restore the equality of silver with gold in coinage, but it will maintain the silver, t'ie gold and the paper dollar at par with each other. It has declared a policy that will be satisfactory to all democrats West and East, and by this declaration of policy it invites the support of all who are opposed to the single gold standard, to the unnatural premium on gold and to forced con- traction of the currency.

ReQardad as a Elupder.

The nomination of Whtelaw Reid for vice.president is bluuder of a peculiarly serious and senseless kind. It is d concession to the Blaine faction of the party which ought not to have been made under any circumstances. The antagonism of the labor element to MT. Reid is pronounced and bitter, and ought to have been taken into consideration by the delegates. There are many Blaine men who would have been unobjectionable from any point of view. Some of them would have strengthened the ticket very materially
 MT. Reid decidedly and emphatically weakens the ticket.- Globe Democrat.

He is regarded as dangerous character.
While at breakfast in the Merchants Hotel
on Water street it was discovered that he was
in disguise. The detectives were notified and
followed him through the streets. When
abolt half way between Snthfield stree: and
Wood street. on 9TH avenue. the suspected

and took him to the Office of chief OF police

man first gave the namc of Gyder and after
ward the name OF Geo Lehberger. He was
then searched and on his person was found tho
address of ''Chns. Staddler, government Orens-
burg. county Werchnearasky, Bielortzker iron

An investigation proved that this place is
where ali the nihilists in Russia were sent and
the police decided to hold him.

berger AT YOUNGSTOWN, and II was decided 10
telegraph the police there. In a shor; time an
answer came back that the nlan was wanted at
that place on n charge of criminal assault on a
fourteen year-old girl.
Otto Bergman called at headquarters later
and sud the man was his brother-in-aw and
asked for his release. When told that he was
wanted for criminal assault he seemed much
surprised and when asked about the address
found on Lehberger said he knew nothing about
1t, but admitted that it was the place where
nihilists were confined. Bergman departed al
most Immediately. He said he did not know
that his brother-in-law was nihilist. Bergman
is a Russian count He has lived in Pittsburg
for some time.
