DANGER IN PLUTOCRACY.
Judge Gresham Briefly Voices a
Warning.

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind, June 81.
- In the interview in which Judge
Gresham stated he would not be the can
didate of the Peoples party. tine Judge
seemed at first inclined to state frankly
his exact relationship to the principles
espoused by the third party, but after
little reflection he said:
"While | have decided views on some
matters which concern the public, you
must excuse ME in declining to give an
interview on political questions. Being
on the bench. l do not feel at liberty TO
take an active part in political discus
sion. 1t is an intleXible rule that l have
never yet broken"
All attempts to induce the Judge to
talk on the position of the two great
political parties resulted in signal fail
ure. He simply reiterated his former
refusal, and politely but firmly declined
to say which of the two tickets nom
mated was. in his opinion, likely to sue
ceed or worthy of success; nor would he
discuss the action of the third party and
Its probable strength, although he ad-
mitted it was rapidly becoming pow
erful factor in politics.
without urging you to violate your
rule of not talking to the public on
political questions" he was finally
asked, Twill you not say what abuses. If
any, in your opinion, threaten to dis
turb public tranquillityW
Into Judge Gresham's wonde rfully at
tractive hazel eyes shot quick CLEAN
of fire, as if the query had stirred
troubled pool of reflection. Presently
he said: That is difficult question to
answer. l would say, however, off
hand, that control of elections and legis-
lation by the corrupt use of money more
than anything else menaces popular
government and public tranquility. If
that abuse is not speedily checked the
consequences are likely to be disastrous.
If the people become convinced that
they cannot rely on the ballot. both as a
means of expressing their choice of men
and measures. they may not long re-
main quiet.
'The most insidious of all forms of
tyranny is that of plutocracy.
Thoughtful men see and admit that our
country is becoming less and less demo-
cratic and more plutocratic. The am
bition and self-love of some men are so
great that they are incapable of loving
their country"
Here the judge suddenly paused just
as he was warming to his subject, and
despite all entreaties to proceed, posi- :
lively refused to say another word.
mo, no." he exclaimed. II have
already said more than l intended, and
/ must beg to be excused from further
questioning"
1t is very evident that nothing can in
duce Judge Gresham to accept the presi-
dental nomination as the candidate of
the Peoples party, and yet he is deeply
sensible of the honor that such tender
would bestow. He sees much to adj
mire in its principles and many things
that he cannot indorse, but he fully be-
lieves great things may grow out of its
present beginning and campaign if
properly directed.

as good as settled. The convention will
he held a few days before the coming
Republican state convention, and the
place of meeting will be Pennington.
The Third district. as remOdeled by
the last legislature, is safely Democratic
by majority of at least $500, and for
time it looked as though the Repub-
licanS would have hard work in finding
a candidate willing to make the race.
Mai. Strait, the popular Scott county
leader. who represented the old Third
for so many years, was for time, con-
sidered as the man to nominate, but the
nomination had no charms for him, and
he gave it out that lie would not accept
it. l.. z. Rogers, the Waterville manu-
facturer, was the next man from the
Minnesota valley who was considered
by the leaders. Mr.. Rogers was not
anxious for the honor, but was willing
to accept it. until the leaders decided
that Joel p. HeatWole, the present state
chairman. must be taken out of the con-
test for the guberhatorial nomination,
and the Wateryiile man then graciOuSly
stepped aside in favor of Mr.. Heatwole.
Chairman Heatwole hesitated for some
time before making up his mind to
place himself in the hands of the lead
ers. but finally consented and is now a
full-fiedged candidate. He will prob
ably be given the nomination. but there
are two other candidates. who are not
only willing but anxious for the honor.
They are: Gen. S. P. Jennison, the vet
eran Red Wing editor, and Capt. A. II.
Reed, of Glencoe. Gen. Jennison claims
the nomination on the ground that the
Republican stronghold. old Goodhue, is
entitled to recognition, that county's
candidate, Hon. b. B. Herbert. hav-
ing been defeated by the Minnesota
Valley revolt in 1856. The doughty
general is not exactly popular with the

AN UNUSUAL CONTEST.
Demorest Seeking the Prohibition
Nomination.


CINCINNATI, O., June 27.-The nomi-
nation for candidate for president of
the national Prohibition party will not
go by default this year, but to all ap-
pearances it will be necessary that
there shall be roll call before the
nomination is made. w. j. Demorest,
OF New York, wants to be the nominee.
and quite little boom has been worked
up for him. He is wealthy, and would
probably literally support any active
campaign. MIR. DemOrest, however, is
not the choice of majority of the dele
gates now on the ground. most OF whom
favor Gen. Bidwell, of California, and
the latter is likely to secure the nomi-
uation Oh the first ballot. He has been
in congress, is supposed to be man OF
high character and ability. and able to
fulfill the duties of the Office of presl-
dent if by some phenomenon he should
get it. His friends say that he does not
wish to be the nominee, but he will ac-
cept if asked. Gideon T. Stewart, of
Ohio, will also be put in nomination.
The amalgamation of the prohibit
tionistS and the Peoples party, which
has been herllded as likely to be the
biggest thing of the convention, is now
not at all probable, so far as this cam
paign is concerned. and can practically
be dismissed for the present. Chairman
Dickie, of the national committee, said
it might not even be mentioned. Ii the
matter comes up at all, it can hardly be
in any other form than as suggestion
for efforts after the coming campaign is
over. The silver plank is troublesome
to the prohibitionists, just as it is to the
older parties, and the delegates are
divided into free coinage and anti-free
coinage men.
The convention will open in Music
hall at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
There are 1.4l9 delegates, and as many
alternateS.

Startling Story Of a Wife's
Neglect of Her Insane
Husband.
Drew His Pension for Many
Years, Yet Never Offered
to Help Him.
Government Officials Force
Her to Disgorge Part Of
the Money.
Sensational and Dramatic
Killing Of a Scoundrel
in Court.

CHICAGO, June 27.-Gen. John II.
Stibbs. chief pension examiner in this
district, aud District Attorney Milchrist
have just completed an investigation of
remarkable pension fraud, and COM
PEELED the restoration of over $1,000, di-
Verted from the rightful beneficiary.
DR.. John S. Taylor was surgeon in
the Twenty Illinois Volunteer in
fantry. He lost his health in the serv-
ice of his country, and in March, 1869,
made application for pension. Two
months later Dr.. Taylor was adjudged
insane, and sent to the asylum at jack
sonville, this state. Since then he has
been hOpeleSSly insane, and has been in
turns confined as pauper in the asy-
lum at Dunning and at Kankakee, where
he now is, an old man sixty-Seven years
of age.
His wife, Mrs. Alice l.. Taylor. who
lives at Mount Pleasant, To-, and who
has been prominent as lecturer and
writer On temperance, has b.en draw
ing her husbands pension Of S72 a
month since 1874, not one penny of
which has been spent for the benefit of
the insane man. In all she has re-
ceiyed from the government S16.56i.
Found a Nice Nest Egg.
Gen. Stibbs recently went to Mount
Pleasant to Mrs. Taylor's home and
found that of the money she had re-
ceiVed from the government she had
saved $1,000, which was invested in
notes and securities. After he had Sc
cnred all the facts. showing that no
part of the money had been used for
the benefit of DR.. Taylor, Gen. StibbS
secured an order on the court citing
Mrs. Taylor to come here and make an
accounting. This she at once did.
At conSuitat ion with District At
torney Milchrist it was decided to settle
the case at once and secure what funds
were at hand to be used for the i'm
mediate benefit of DR.. Taylor. Ac-
cordingly it was agreed by Mrs. Taylor
that she would surrender $500 of the
funds she had. She did so, was dis
missed from her conServatorShip and
the Illinois Trust and Saving bank was
appointed cOnseryatOr in her place.
Gen. StibbS says that it was thought
best not to prosecute Mrs. Taylor. as
she was an invalid and made no fight to
retain the money. Mrs. Taylor gave NO
explanation of her neglect of DR.. Tay-
lOr, except to say that as he was hope
lessly insane she could do nothing for
him. The authorities at Kankakee say,
however, that had TAYLOR had the ben
etit of the ample pension. due him he
would not have been in the helpleSSly

Montana Democrats Still Rather
Sore Over the Nomination.
j. NJ. Quinn, the versatile newspaper
man, formerly of Bismarck, but now
conducting the Butte Miner, reached the
city yesterday, en- route home from the
Chicago convention. Mr.. Quinn was a
rampant anti-Cleveland man and went
to Chicago to do his utmost to prevent
the nomination of the eX-president, and
now, though as loyal Democrat he will
hustle for the ticket, he has not yet
brought himself to feel very buoyant
over the outlook.
cleveland was not the choice of
Montana" he said. ''as you may see by
the ballot of our delegation. His views
against silver were entirely too pro-
nouneed TO please our people, and it
will be hard matter to carry Montana
for him. OF course we will do the best
we can, but it will be an uphill job.
The Republican platform was no better,
it is true. but our people naturally ex-
pected more of the Democrats. L be-
lieve Tammany will buckle down to

is a man of no convictions or positive
qualities. for such is not the case. He
is good politician, and he foresaw that
there was no use in opposing Donnelly
in the Seventh district. and, being
strong independent, he lost no time in
allying himself with the Peoples party.
His nomination at MOOrhead last week
over Andrew Steenerson was surprise
to all who were unacquainted with the
organizing ability of Mr.. Boen.
''Steenerson had gone about the district
promising the people that in case of his
election he would have the government
issue the Leople all the money they
needed" remarked a Seventh district
man yesterday. land as they all b e.
lieved him l was surprised at Boen's
nomination"
While Boen was nominated by the
radical element he is conservative
man and will do much to restore conf
dence in the Peoples party among the
people who are afraid of Donnel1g.

special: John Boyd Thatcher, presi-

talking with the correspondent he paid
a high compliment to Senator Hill as an
organizer, and said:
''It shall be the task of the organiza-
ton not only to aid the independent
voter IN the work of tariff reform which
he has so much at heart. but to con-
vince him that within our party lines
exist those principles and those truths
which we received from the founders of
our government and which we have
preserved in their rugged simplicity
for guide unto the people and lamp
unto their feet. This is to be cam
paign of education. and there will be no
more intrepid leader in this campaign
than. Senator Hill. He is loyal to the
hearts core. He has made this DEM

to keep it Democratic state"

OMAHA, June 27.-The local inde-
pendents. who have for the past few
days been nursing hope that Walter
Q. Gresham would express a willing
ness to accept the presidential nomina-
ton at the hands of the third party in
case it was rendered, had their hopes
dashed to the ground by the published
announcement that he would not allow
his name to be considered. The lead
ers all expressed the belief that his
name would have added more strength
to their ticket than could be secured in
any other way, and that he could un-
Questionably have the nomination if he
would take it.
Although Gen. j. B. Weaver, of Iowa,
seemed to have the support of the local
Independents up to the time of the re-
turn of the disgruntled silver men from
the Chicago convention and the an
nouncement of their decision to come
here and seek satisfaction at the hands
of the independents, the sentiment has
changed and it is now openly asserted
that
Weaver Is Not in It.
The talk is in favor of nominee from
a mining state, and Stewart, of Nevada,
and Adams, of Colorado, have the call.
with Watson, Of Georgia, for second
place.
Chairman Strickler says that the Coli
scum building will be in readiness for
the convention by next Thursday even
ing. The interior of tie building is un-
dergOing a transformation. The local
entertainment committee that is looking
up accommodations for those who will
be the city's visitors during the conven
tiOn is at work canvaSSing for rooms,
and has now list showing accOmmOda-
tious for little over 5000 people. The
feature over which the committee feels
the most apprehension is that of sleep
ing accommodations. The lowest esti-
mate made as to the number of those
from outside who will be in the city
during the convention is not less than
q, 1000.
The convention will be called to order
at the Coliseum at 10 O'Clock Saturday
morning, when temporary organization
will be effected and committees named.
The convention will then adjourn until
Monday morning. July 4, at 10 o'clock,
on which day the platform will be
adopted and the nominations made.

BORUP OR DERED HOME
Washington Officials Do Not Be
lieve the Charges.


WASHINGTON, June 27.-Aeting on
information received from Mr.. Coolidge,
the United States minister at Paris, the
secretary of war this afternoon issued
an order relieving Capt. Borup. of the
ordnance department, from further duty
at the United States legation at Paris.
and directing him to report to the war
department for further orders. This
action was taken at the instance of the
French government.
Our officials do not believe that Capt.
Borup is guilty of the charges against
him, and his recall is said to be due al
together to the request of the French
government and i'll the interest OF har-
mony. Capt. Borup's recall was not
decided upon till this afternoon. and it
was said at the war department later in
the afternoon that no one had been
selected to succeed. The report that
first Lieut.. William A. GlasSford of the
signal corps has been selected for that
duty is therefore incorrect. The only
foundation for that report lies in the
fact that Lieut.. GlaSsford is about to
visit Paris on special military mission
for which he was selected before the
present scandal occurred.

to All Parties.


WASHINGTON, June 27.-The election
of Mr. Campbell as chairman of the
national committee settled the con-
test in a manner satisfactory to
the president, to the committee
and Republicans here generally. MIR.
Campbell repeatedly declined the honor

the pressure brought to bear by the CON-

instance of President Harrison and by
his personal friends was too great to
Withstand, and at last he yielded re-
luctant consent.
Mr.. Campbell was born In Philadelphia,
Pa, Dec u. 1850 His parents moved to Illi-
nois in 1851. and he has resided in Cook
county since that time. He was educated in
the public schools of Illinois, the Lake For

Asked TO Run.

TOPEKA, Kan., June 27.-J. B. Det-

sional district Alliance and one of the
Alliance delegates to the Peoples
party national convention, has written
a letter in behalf of number of the
Kansas delegates urging Alva Adams,
of South Pueblo. Col, to accept the
nomination for presidency on the Peo-
ple's party ticket. In his letter, he
said:
1.-THE dispatches inform me that the silver
league has engaged rooms at Omaha during
the Peoples party convention. This fact
leads me to ask you if you would accept q
place on the PEOPLES party national ticket, if
it should be offered you. The fact that you
were elected governor Of Colorado as Dem
ocrat renders your candidacy quite logical.
You may regard this move as wild and Wis
ionary, but this is fast age and men move
rapidly. I verify believe political revolu-
ton is at hand
