Blaine on silver.

The following pertinent words were
uttered by the Demosthenes Of the
Republican party. james G. Blaine,
before the Forty-Fifth Congress, and
should be carefully perused by the
goldites:
believe the struggle now going
on IN this country and in other coun-
tries for the single gold standard
would, II successful, produce wide.
spread disaster in the end throughout
the commercial world The destruc.
ton OF silver as money and establish.
ing gold as the sole unit of value
must have a ruinous effect on all
forms OF property except those in.
vestments which yield fixed return
IN money. These would be enor-
monsly enhanced in value, and would
gain dlsproportionate and unfair
advantage over every other species of
property. IL, as the most reliable
statistics affirm, there are nearly
7ooo,oO0,000 Of coin or bullion in
the world, not very unequally divided
between gold and silver, it is impos.
s'ble to strike silver out OF existence
rs money without results which will
prove distressing to millions and ut.
terly disastrous to tens OF thousands. !"

BADLY SHOT WHILE muNr.NG.

A Statesman special, dated Sill
yer City, Oct. 10th, says:
About 5 o'clock Sunday evening
FIVE miles from Silver City, three
highly respected young men, w. s
Williams, John O. Jones and Thos
l.. Jones, all Welsbmen and the best
of friends, started out hunting. They
crossed Eagle summit, and went
down on the other side TO the head OF
South Sinker creek, when their dog
scared up two deer from the ,hicket.
Williams saw the deer first, fred and
started to run just as John Jones
pulled up and shot, the charge Of
shot striking Williams in the back OF
the neck, coming GU. in front of the
left err.
II was several minutes before
Williams came to. In the meantime
Tommy Jones, who is 10 years old,
started on the run down the creek to
. cabin, expecting to get aid, but
found it locked. Before he got back
TO the scene Of the accident, Jones
had got Williams up and they had
started for the cabin. Tommy hunt
ed until past dark trying to find them,
and not succeeding started for town
to get assistance, but got lost and
spent the whole night in the snow on
top Of War Eagle mountain.
Jones and Williams got to Rich
ard Thomas cabin at the old Tinker
mill where everything possible was
done for the wounded man. After
waiting several hours Mr.. Thomas
thought Tommy had surely got lost
and started to find him. After hunt.
ing until 2 o'clock he started for
town, arriving in Silver City at 4:3O
this morning. DR.. Lippinco.t. Jerry
Williams and +. l.. Williams re-
turned with Mr.. Thomas and brought
TO town, returning this
evening. Drs. Lippincott and Yves.
Ion dressed the wound, which Is very
serious, but not necessarily fatal.
Tommy Jones found his way to
'own this morning. He had thrown
81 his coat when he started to run.
md, in his shirt sleeves he suffered
'everely during the night in the fu-
''ous snow storm that ragged on the

A SPECIAL of the 18th, from Null.
len, North Idaho, to the Spokane Re.
view, says: Wesley Everett, while
hunting cinnamon bear Saturday,
wounded full grown animal which
closed in on him. The bear knocked
the gun from his hands, crushed his
right leg above the knee, lacerated
his right arm in frightful manner,
but expired just at the moment when
its teeth had closed on Everett's
throat. Everett will recover.

the last OF tile Centralia gang of train
robbers, captured Saturday night in
Cincinnati, was taken from Detective
Smith at Odeh yesterday afternoon by
the sheriff on Il state warrant while
being conveyed to st. Louis. The de-
tective was unwilling to surrender the
prisoner, buthad no paper on which
to hold him, and he was conveyed to
the Salem jail, where his pals, Jones
and O'Dwydr, are confined. While
the officers were disputing over the
possession df the prisoner some one
reported in the hearing Of Hardin
that the nbws of his detention in
Oden had been telegraphed to Cen
.ialia and 800 railroad men were en-
route to Oden on special train to
lynch him. He begged the officers to
hurry him Off to jail He then made
full confession of the robbery, which
tallies with the stories already known.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 2S.-In reply
to Il letter from Gov. Northen asking
the president to give his position on
financial matters, President Cleve-
land sent the following reply:
"ENEcUTIyE MANSION, WASHING
TON, Sept. 25.-Hon. w. j. Northern;
My Dear Sir-I hardly know how to
reply to your letter OF the 10th in
slant. 1t seems to me | am quite
plainly on record concerning the fin
uncial question. My letter accepting
the nomination to the presidency,
when read in connection with the
message lately sent to congress in
extraordinary session, appears to be
very explicit. | want currency
that is stable and safe in the hands OF
our people. ! would not knowingly
be implicated in condition that will
Justly make me unswcrable to any
laborcr or farmer in the United States
for shrinkage in The purchasing
power OF the dollar he has received
for a full dollar worth of the product
of his toll | not only want our cur
rency to be Of such character that all
kinds of dollars win be of equal pur-
chasing power at home, but | want
it of such u character as will demon
strate abroad our wisdom and good
faith, thus placing upon firm foun
dation our credit among the nations
of the earth. | want our financial
conditions and laws relating to our
currency so safe and reassuring that
those who have money will spend and
invest it in business and new enter
prises, instead of boarding it. You
cannot cure fright by calling it foolish
and unreasonable, and you cannot pre-
vent a Enlightened man from boarding
his money. | want good, sound,
stable money and condition of CON
fdence that will keepit in use. Within
the limits of what have written am
the friend of silver, but believe its
proper place in our currency can only
be fixed by readjustment OF our cur
rency legislation and the inaugura.
ton ola consistent and comprehensive
financial scheme. think that such
thing can only be entered upon
ProRtebly ana hopefully hiter rne re-
peal of the law which is charged with
all our financial woes. In the
present state of public mind this
law cannot be built upon nor
patched in such way as to relieve
the situation. | am therefore opposed
to the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver by this country alone and indie
pendently, and | am in favor of the
immediate and unconditional repeal
OF the purchasing clause of the So
called Sherman law. confess that
am astonished by the opposition in the
senate to such prompt action as would
relieve the present unfortunate situa-
tion. My daily prayer is that the de-
lay accustomed by such opposition may
not he the cause OF plunging the coun-
try into deeper depression than has
yet been known, and that the Demo
cratic party may not be justly held
responsible forsuch a catastrophe,
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND
