Readers Of the cable news have
long ago discovered that Bismarck
in Office and Bismarck out of office
arc two very different individuals.
In office he believed in the strong
arm Of the government being strech-
ed out to throttle individual opinions
wherever they cropped out out Of
office he believes in the right Of the
individual to express opinions, no
matter whose toes they many tread
on, all Of which shows that the So

BUCHANAN BOLTS.
He Will Run for Governor Of Tennessee
as an Independents.

as an Independents
NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 15.-John P.
Buchanan, governor Of this state, has
bolted the nominee of the Democratic party
for governor and to-day in a long address
announced that he Is an independent candi-
date for governor, and asks the votes
of all citizens, regardless OF past
party affiliations. He bases his can
didacy upon allegations that he has been
called upon by a majority Of the rank and
file of the party to run; that he and his
friends have been treated badly by the dem
ocratic conventions, county and state, and
that he represents the true JeRersonlan
democracy, and that the democratic con-
vention which refused TO nominate him re-
nounced the true principles OF democracy
enunciated in former platforms.
HIS PLATFORM.
He announces his platform touching state
and national matters as follows: Free
coinage of gold and silver at the present
ratio; increase of the circulating medium by
the general government sufficient to
meet all the necessities of trade, business
and commerce; abolition Of national banks;
a graduated income tax; free commerce ;
tariff only when enough revenue cannot be
raised by other sources; election or United
States senator's by the people; restrictions
III Q6AllDR Al III RASN
ucts; opposition to the force bill and inter-
ference with state elections; no alien owner
ship of lands.
AS to state affairs he favors the abolition
OF the convict labor system; a law providing
for arbitration In the settlement of strikes
and labor difficulties; constitutional con-
vention and the prohibition of the work OF
children In mines and factories under IA
years of age.
AS Gov. Buchanan's independent candi-
dacy had been expected, but little surprise
was manifested when the public announce
ment appeared.
A Peoples party meeting In state conven-
tion will be held on Thursday next to nom
mate candidate for governor, in this city,
and the fact hastened Gov. Buchanan's an
nouncement, for his independent candidacy
will be indorsed by this convention. There
are now four candidates for governor in
this state.

TwIsrING TIE LIONS FAIL.
Ex-ConRressman Finnerty Speaks at
an Irish Relly.

Ex-ConRressman Finnerty Spssks at
an Irish Rally.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-One Of the greatest
gatherings of Irish-Americans ever held in
the west assembled to-day in Ogden grove.
The occasion was the announcement that
NJ. V. Cannon of Omaha, president Of the
Irish National League of Amarica. would
be present at the annual outing of
the Irish societies Of Chicago and
the knowledge that, In view Of the
just accomplished accession Of Mr..
Gladstone and the resulting crisis in the
home rule movement, the meeting would
possess widespread significance. Besides
President Cannon, the speakers were John
Fnnerty and Mathew. p Brady, each OF
whom was enthusiastically cheered by the
huge throng. The First regiment
Hibernian Rifles, Companies A and
B, Cian-na-Gael Guards, Robert En-
met Guards and a number Of clubs of
the Gaelic Athletic Association presented
q decidedly martial appearance as they
proceeded to MoCoy's hotel at o'clock and
escorted the speakers to the big grove, where
thousands of Irish men, women and chill
dren were waiting.
j. j. Fitzgibbons, president Of the South
Chicago National Bank, acted as chair
man.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Resolutions wereiadopted declaring that II
the British parliament, permeated by the
evil spirit Of the past, should again dash
from Ireland's lips the cup of peace and
justice. it should be the duty of all who ab-
hor tyranny and love liberty to consider
and use other means to right the Intoler-
able wrongs that have made Ireland by
word among the nations, The resolutions
urge upon the Irish leaders the absolute
necessity Of union and harmony, applaud
the resolve Of both sections of the parlia-
mentary party to act independently
of all English parties, and repudiate the
idea Of acceptance of Office under the En-
glish government by the Irish members
until an Irish parliament. duly invested
with sovereign power over the internal in
terests OF Ireland, is In session in College
Green.
A feature Of the day was the address Of
ex-Congressman John Finnerty, who is
president Of the united Irish societies of

GOLD FOR SILVER NOTES.
The Treasury Not Trying to Put G
Check on Exports.

The Treasury Not Trying to Put
Check on Exports
NEW York, Aug. 15.-The crucial test of
the policy of the government was made tor
day when Heidelback, Ickelheimer & Co.
rendered 81 200, 900 In treasury notes, which
were issued on account of silver purchases.
and demanded for them 81 ,000, 900 in gold
for shipment to Germany by to-morrow's
steamer. The treasury officials made no
demur, but paid out 81, 900, 900 In gold in
exchange for the treasury notes and
the gold was carted away and put on the
steamer. The transaction excited some
comment, as no home institution or home
banking institution has ever in the history
OF the government made a like demand on
the treasury, and In some quarters the inn
preston prevailed that the exporting firm
took this step not 80 much TO take the profit
on she shipment, which in itself Ia too insig-
nificant for banking firm TO consider, but
really for the purpose Of forcing crisis.
ATTITUDE OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
Assistant Treasurer Roberts was at the
sub-treasury while the gold for Germany
was being carted away. He admitted that
1t was the first time such demand was
made, although gold has heretofore been
given partly for old and partly for new
treasury notes. Hs said In reply to ques-
clonbs NO steps nave Deem
taken by the administration to
prevent or obstruct the expectation
of gold. The government stands ready to
meet all It's obligations in gold and will pay
them all IN gold. It's free gold balance now
amounts to S112. 200, ,OOO" BY this state-
ment OF Treasurer Roberts IL Is clear that
the government has decided on a plan to
pay all silver treasury notes In gold IL it Is
demanded.
Vice President Cannon OF the Fourth
National Bank said he did not think that the
gold surplus would be reduced at present,
but that 1t would be increased instead, as
the treasury is now receiving gold from
eastern banks for transshipment TO the
west and IN the west is paying out currency
on account Of these shipments. BY this step
last year the governments increased Its gold
holdings Sl4, ,O00,0OO.
