The People of Paris, Texas, Are Not Sorry
For the Burning OF Smith.

For the Burning OF Smith,
PARIS, Ten, February 15.-The MUIR
der and outrage of Myrtle Vance, the
execution OF Henry Smith, and the
message vf Gov Hogg continues to be
the sole topic of conversation. Hun
dreds OF letters have been received by
citizens here, some Of appreciation, 9TH
ers Of condemnation. Some Of the let
tiers were grossly indecent. Henry
Vance received letter yesterday dated
St. Louis, February 10, signed Jack,
the Police Killer, stating that the wri-
ter would leave for this place soon 10
kill Vance, and telling him to pray, as
his days were numbered.
A letter was received to the effect
that $500 coiored citizens of Chicago
we're coming here TO wipe Paris of the
face Of the earth. IL is not believed
they will come but II they DO there will
be a good time. The colored people
here are anxious to entertain them. II
is not unlikely that some act Of vio-
lence will be done yet. Some indisereet
nan in his cups may make some re-
marks rejecting upon the people here,
and il he does he will be dealt with very
roughly. The people here stand BY
what was done and sill allow no man
10 challenge their good name.

The deception Secretary FOSTER has

pose is TO expose the growing evil OF an
American autocracy Of wealth and to
suggest to the common people who re-

IL may be obyiated. While his theories

mower OF the people 10 remedy 1t. his
stapdpointi is that Of an American Of the
best type, WHO hates snoobery and de-
spises class distinctions based upon
wealth rather than achievement.
The spirit OF the volume Is summar-
lied in the following dedication: This
hook is dedicated TO all American citi-
Gems who believe that patriotism, hon
estv. virtue and merit alone constitute
.ineouality In mankind; who object to
and resent arrogance aud presumption

AN ENTHUSIASTIC CONVENTION
The Great ProteciIonist Reviews tho FL

Administration Denounced.
Associated Press.

Columbus, O., June S.--Governor Nc
Kinley today received the laurels of
success which presage, perhaps. Of
higher .icnors to come. The great
protectionist in accepting the nomi-
nation as the republican candidate for
governor of Ohio. virtually outlined
the declaration Of principles by which
he may be judged as a candidate for
the presidency. After the convention
had been called to Order the Duke Of
yeragua and party entered the hall
amid loud applause. At this juncture
Colonel Robert Nevis, in an eloquent
address, nominated Mckinley for Gov
ernor The nomination was made by
acclamation While waiting for the
committee to bring Mckinley in,
Lieutenant Governor Harris was nom
mated by acclamation. Then McKin-
ley entered amid an outburst Of APP
plause. Taking the platform he de-
livered his address of acceptance. In
opening he said the nomination was
both an honor and one which Imposed
a duty. He might forego the honor
but could not refuse the duty.
He reviewed at length the financial
situation, saying; was 1t to be Won
dered that the people were distrust-
full especially in view Of the fact that
the administration had put forth no
line Of financial policy? Cleveland says
the Sherman silver bill is the cause Of
the depression, but does not convene
congress to repeal it. While waiting
for the democrats to carry out the
declarations in their platform on the
tariff, the country's business Is par
alyzed because Of uncertainty. If the
expectation Of what the democrats
would do has destroyed confidence,
what will a full realization do? But
the democratic party is SO divided into
factions and split asunder on the tariff
and currency issues that a do-nothing
policy must be the result. The only
direction to look for relief is the repub-
lican party" The speaker then took
up the pension frauds question, saying
ne did not object to the striking Of
unworthy pensioners from the rolls,
but declared the ruling OF the score
tary OF the Interior would result In
striking from the p'fasion rolls,
thousancs cf worthy dependent SOL
diers.
The platform endorses the national
republican platform of 1892 and the adj
ministration Of President Harrison
1t favors protection to American labor
and industries, and reciprocity; pro-
tests against free wool, demands the
enactment of laws to restrict lmmigra-
tion; condems the policy OF the present
administration towards pensioners, and
denounces the avowed purpose Of the
democrats to repeal the bank tax.

Statement That 1t VIII BE Repealed
Without Any Compromise.
Washington. June SAN evening pa
per has the following General Tracy,
of Albony, who is one Of the most con-
spicuous anti-silver leaders in congress,
and who is regarded as one Of the
strongest friends Of the administration
on the floor OF the house. Is In this
city and saw the president today. Cen
eral Tracy says that the Sherman law
will be repealed at the coming session
without the passage Of any substitute
measure, or the adoption of any COM
promise with the free silver men. He
also gave It as his opinion that the pro-
posed repeal Of the ten-per-cent tax on
the circulation Of state banks, would
fail of passage. Coming from General
Tracy, these views are OF more than
ordinary value. Senator Jones OF Ar
kansas took an entirely different view
from that entertained by General Ira
cy. The Sherman law can never be
repealed In the senate unless some
other measure looking to the coinage
of silver is substituted.
