tremendous evils are enough TO engage the

But there are other evils local to tho

of a country suffering under these addf-

The presidency Is the pivot upon which
the success OF defeat of the cause must

The defeat has invariably come either
through vetoes or adverse influences from
the White House. Until President

hopeless. Mr.. Cleveland-the opposing 3
candidates-are determined and avowed
opponents of free coinage. The platforms

GENERAL" STEVENSON.


He Never Was In the Army, but May Have
Been an Officer in the Golden Circle.

WASHINGTON, June 24-Thers was con.
siderable discussion in Washington to-day
with regard to the record of Mr.. Adiai
Stevenson, who w as selected yesterday to
be Grover Cleveland's running mate on the
Democratic presidential ticket. There
seems to have been a very general i'm pres
sion that Mr.. Stevenson was an old soldier
and that for that reason he would be par
ticularly acceptable to the soldier element.
This view was shared by a large number of
Democratic Congressman, ana it was with
considerable surprise to-day that they
learned that Mr. Stevenson had no army
record aud that during tho war he was pur-
suing the peaceful occupation of lawyer
at his home in Illinois.
At the outbreak of the war and until it's
CLOSE Mr.. Stevenson was master in chan
cerv of Woodford county - limos, and from
1864 to 1865 be was the States attorney for
the Twenty-thIrd judicial district.
There has also been rsking of his polit-
ical record, as thero has been an Impression
that he was not Oh out.nnd-out Democrat
in the years Immediately succeeding the
war. and that he had at that time green
back affiliations. Mr.. Stevenson's first ap-
pearance In national politics was in 1874,
when he made a successful contest for the
position of Congressman from the Old Thir-
teenth district OF Illinois. At that time
he ran as the candidate of the "Independ-
ent Reform party" President Hayes
appointed him, in 1877, member of the
board of visitors to West Point. He again
made the race for Congress, and by com.
bnatiOn between the National Greenback
and Democratic parties he was elected to
the Forty Congress by majority of
1900 votes over the Republican candidate.
Mr. Stevenson's gratuitOus title of gen
erar comes from his having been Cleve-
lands First Assistant Postmaster" "gener-
al" 1t was reported in @. A. X. circles
here to-day that Mr.. Stevenson. during tho
war, was q copperhead. shining light In
the Order of knights of the Golden Circle,
and, also, that his sympathies were con-
stantly with the South. 1t is also stated
BY clerks in the Postoffce Department who
served there while Stevenson was Presi-
dent Cleveland's headsman of fourth class
postmasters. that it was he who appointed
so many jaIl-birds to hand out the mail to
unsophisticated citizens.
