EX GOVERNOR ALBEIT DEAD.
Elk Governor Leon J. Albeit died

brief illness. Governor Albeit was
born in Philadelphia October 8, 1886.

was candidate for a seat in the
United Stutes senate in 1887, but was
defeated by combination. In 1893
he again tried for senatorship, but
failed. He had been a member OF
nearly every democratic national

NO roRE M'KINLEY BILLS.

| O'''E AZ nANLEh
Representative j. W. Babcock, of
Wisconsin, who was chairman of the
republican congressional campaign
committee, says that no attempt
would be made by the republicans to
revive the Mckinley bill.
"That bill" he continued, "did not
have the support of one republican
in five when it passed. 1t was res
ponsible for the republican defeat in
1890, and that defeat was one of the
strongest expressions of the intelli-
gence of the American people. This
widespread intelligence is one of the
most gratifying things to me as an
American citizen. Our people will
cross party lines at any time to
rebuke their own party when they
think that it has not dealt fairly with
them. There was a deep seated
prejudice against the Mckinley bill.
1t was regarded as too friendly to
the manufacturers and not suffici-
emily in the interests of the people,
and they put the party out of power
that was responsible for the legisla-
ton. The average American citizen
believes in the principle of protec-
ton, but he believes still more in the
principle of fair play, and that prin-
ciple, they thought, was violated in
the Mckinley bill.
"If the people of the country want
lower duties, why are they not salts
fed with the present law that the
last session of the democrats en-
acted. The present bill is not a
democratic bill. 1t is really a pro-
lection measure, for the republicans
added to it, after it went to the
senate, something like $50 amend
ments. 1t is not such a bill as the
republicans would have framed, nor
does it suit the wishes of the extreme
democrats. 1t is highly protective
in some particulars, more so than
the Mckinley bill, while touching the
extreme of free trade in other direc-
tions. We shall have the house and
senate and the president in 1896.
Meanwhile we shall see how the
present law works, and it may be
time enough then to smooth out its
crudities and make it what 1t ought
to be-"
HATcH's OLEoMARGARINE PLATFORM.
Congressman Hatch has no idea of
giving up his interest in legislation
Just because he was not rejected.
He says that he would push the pure
food bill, which has been so changed
and improved, he thinks, that there
can be no reasonable objection made
to it. Another OF Col. Hatch's pur-
poses is to put through an original
package attachment to the oleomar-
garine law. This will undoubtedly
be fought by the makers Of oleo.
Its effect would be to give states the
power to exclude oleomargarine
from coming within their bound
aries, even though shipped from
outside. II would also enable states
to apply their own regulations in
addition TO those of the govern.
ment. The effect would be tc
restrict the sale Of oleomargarint
where dairy interests are strong

FOUND DEAD IN A PASTURE.
F. A. Affect was found dead in a
pasture adjoining Bolivar. The cir
cumstances indicate suicide, the
body being found in a spring. FL
nancial trouble is supposed to be the
cause. Affect had been Circuit Clerk
of Polk county for eight years, and
was re elected last month. He was
prominent in church and social cir
cles and in Masonic and other fra
ternities.

BLANp's FREE COINAGE BILL.

BLAND's FREE COINAGE BILL.
The free coinage bill which Repre-
sentative Bland hopes to this week
have favorably reported to the house
from the committee on coinage,
weights and measures is very short.
1t was introduced by Mr.. Bland on
December 5, one year ago, and has
since hung fire in committee. The
bill, in brief, provides for re enact
ing the free coinage law of 1887, and
it is as follows:
That so much OF the act OF February IL,
1873, entitled ian act revising and amend
ing the laws relative to the mints, assay
offices and coinage OF the United States"
as prohibits the coinage OF the standard
silver dollar be and the same is hereby
repealed.
Section 2. That so much OF the act
entitled ian act supplementary to the act
entitled an act establishing a mint and
regulating the coinage OF the United
States," approved January IS, 1897, as
relates to and provides for the coinage
and legal tender power OF the standard
silver dollar OF 412h grains standard
silver be and the same is hereby revived
and re-enacted into full force and effect.
Almost countless attempts were
made during the last session to
secure action in committee and have
the bill reported to the house. This
was prevented, however, by Con-
gresham Tracey and others, who
opposed the measure and habitually
absented themselves from the COM
mittee meetings in order to break a
quorum. By this means the bill was
kept off the house calendar.

BLAND WILL NOT JOIN A NEW PARTY.
Congressman Bland, in answer to
question as to whether he was
going to run away into new silver
party, said:
Everybody knows how stand on

THE effort of the republican leaders to shirk the responsibility for the Reilly pamphlet will have no effect upon the voters. Tine pamphlet was paid for with republican money, and was sent direct from the printing house in the east 10 the chairman of the republican county central com mit,ee in Tombstone. The party is not to be blamed for being ashamed of its work, but its leaders should be ashamed to tell barefaced ialsehood about it.

 Wm. Place of Bisbee, whose defeat for the nomination of district attor- ney had soured him completely, was appointed chairman by the funeral director, who announced that the pail bearers were present to talk to the audience.
 The first speaker introduced was H. c. Herrick, candidate for the legis- lature. Mir. Herrick was defeated two years ago for the same office, and in order to have sure thing this year he had prepared a speech in which Patrick Henry, George Washington and other democrats were highly eulogized. MT. Herrick began his speech without notes, and made an impression, which lasted until he pulled out bundle of snciert his tory.
 The platform was read by Allen T. Bird. Its allusion to the Wilson bill killing the wool industry of Cochise county caused A sensation, and will probably cause the 1900 sheep in the county 10 eat less hereafter.
 m. Place also made speech ir which he predicted that If Murphy were elected the silver mines would all start up, and cows would have twins.
 Dr. Wright said be had been in the legislature before and would go there again said he had been nominated by the most representative body oi men ever drawn together in the United States. and hoped every moth CTS son on the ticket would be elect ed"
 c. s. Fly created the most favorable impression of any speaker by bowing his acknowled gements and taking his seat
 G. w. Swain said he had left his speech at home, but he talked for ten minutes telling what he would do il elected
 J.V. Vickers said he would, if elect ed, collect all the taxes and keep his books straight.
 The chair then introduced MT Bird, who paralyzed bis audience by relst,ng a story that shocked all 0! the democrats in the hall, and caused .he ladies and children to blush to the roots of their hair. The chairman had introduced MT Bird as the editor of one of the two newspapers in Co., chise county, and MT. Pugh of Will. COX was justly indignant at being ig. nored entirely in such fashion, and left the hall n disgust. The chair man did not even cali upon him tC make a speech.
