bring Brown back.
The tOrycries commenced as Far back
as February, 1879, but they were con

OF the forgery Of powers OF attorney OF
Judge Senkier, Of 81. Catharines, by
which Brown transferred hlly shares OF
the Bank Of Montreal % himself. II
was the accidental discovery OF this by
Judge Scnkler that brought 10 light the
whole system OF fraud Of which Brown
had lOJg been gullty. Two banks pTln-
cipally advanced the money on the
forged powers or attorney, and 1t IS said
that there VIII be a serious legal dis
putc as TO vino is liable for the amount
Involved. The extensive nature OF the
business done by young Brown may be
inferred from the fact that In cue month
alone his bank account amounted TO

SIssETON AGENCY, S. D.. April n
Everything is quiet here. There are no

Not single white face has been seen
here for nearly week, except the two
or three white men who have squaw
rights here. the ministers of the
churches, and the employees of the gov
eminent schools and OF the mission.
Scarce a ripple OF excitement from the
surglng crowds at the border towns
reaches here. as communication is al
most entirely shut oil.
The Indian police under the manage
ment OF Agent McKusick. have done
splendid service as messengers and
cOuriers between the various military
camps and the central headquarters of
Intelligence here. Their small, fleet
ponies have made long and dangerous
trips 10 remote parts Of the reservation,
through mud on the plains, and across
SNOW drifts and swollen streams in the
interminable cOuteau de prairies, where
larger horse OF the American breed
would have gone down with his rider.

conclusion of the reading of the plat
form, Congressman Bryan offers reso-
luton favoring the free coinage of sill
yer. Immediately there was an uproar,

unusually quiet during the afternoon
session, became turbulent. Congress-
man Bryan spoke in FAVOR of his resolu-
ton, declaring 1t TO be good Democratic
doctrine, and one of the planks in the
platform upon which Gov. BOYD was
elected. He was supported by the dele
gates from the W estern part of the
state, where the Independents are
strongest, but the other prominent
leaders of the party were against it.
After hot debate lasting three hours
the roll was called. The silver men.
believing they were victorious, raised a
great shout. When Chairman Batty an
nounced the defeat of the resolution by
300 to 247, pandemonium broke loose.
The silver men made q rush for the
stage and mounting the reporters table
they ShTieked that they were beaten by
fraud. Fifty men were struggling on
the platform at one time, but finally
quiet was restored and the result of the
vote as announced was verified. Then,
after the selection of hlternateS to the
national convention, the convention adj
journed.

FEARLESS GROVER
Not Forgotten in Good Platform
TO Stand On.

The Democracy Of Nebraska, in convention
assembled, do reatiirm our faith in the prin-
ciples and doctrines of Democracy as first
promulgated by Thomas jefferson and ex-
pounded by jackson and Samuel j. Tildcu.
We declare our steadfast adherence TO the
declarations and principles laid down in the
Democratic platform of 1854, and in that
sterling message 10 congress by that fearless
Democrat, Grover Cleveland. in which this
nation was aroused as never before 10 a
sense of the great injustice TO the American
people by the high protection war tariff laid
upon them.
We denounce that most infamous law
known rs the Mckinley bill passed by Re
publican congress for the purpose of perpet-
mating system of taxation whose direct and
immediate object IS 20 rob the many Tor the
benefit OF the few.
We believe that all special legislation
whereby one class is to be built up by the
oppression Of another is pernicious unjust
and un-American.
Recognizing the lofty patriotism Of the
soldiers and sailors who perled their lives
in defense of the Union, the Democratic
party of Nebraska is in favor If liberal pen
sions TO disabled veterans and their depend
ent widows and orphans.
We favor the regulation OF railroads and
railroad rates by the state and invite all who
are in sympathy with the foregoing platform
TO join us in electing Democratic president.
