A NEW SILVER PARTY

NOW Being Organized by Western Free Su.
yer Men-Secret Meetings Held in st.
Louis-The Leaders, Looking About for q
Man for Presidential Candidate, Casting
Bland, OF Missouri.
ST. Louis, Nov. 29.-There is no
doubt that secret plans are now being
formulated by the free silver men of
the west to organize new political
party, and the most active men engaged
In the work at present are the leaders
OF the bimetallic league, assisted by
number of outsiders who are leading
free silver advocates.
The executive committee of the BIZ
metallic league held several meetings
In secret at the Southern hotel on
Tuesday and Wednesday, but their
work was conducted in dark and
mysterious way, and the general pub
lie was allowed to obtain but a
few small crumbs of information in
dorsed by the silver seal of authority.
However, men who were present at
these conferences, and who are thor
oughly informed on every feature of
the work, gave out the fact in gem
eral way that movement is on foot to
organize a free silver party.
This party is expected to have a
rapid growth, and to arrive at full
fledged period of power and influence
in an incredibly short time by absorb
ing free silverites, populists, disgrun-
tied democrats. recalcitrant republic
ans and men who advocate all the
unique isms known in finance, religion
or politics.
Moreover, the enthusiasts who are
now keeping the fires burning under
the political incubator that is to hatch
this new party, are already looking
around for man who will furnish
the infant with presidential swaddling
clothes. And it is whispered that ''Sil-
yer Dick" Bland, who was recently de-
feated for congress in the Eighth Mis-
souri, district by the country doctor,
is looked upon with favor as
the best man to array the in
FAINT in fine linens and rock
it in silver cradle in the White House.
In other words, when the infant is
born, and populists and disgruntled
men with all sorts of isms and wheels
in their heads have brought forward
frankincense and myth, it is init
mated that the magic name of s'Silver
Dick as the standard bearer is the one
to carry the new party into supreme

MORGAN'S POPULATIONS

Would Have Caught st. Louis for a Large
Amount but for the Watchfulness of Her
Officials.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. IAN interesting To-
cal side of the embezzlement of Da-
vid E. Morgan, discount clerk of the
Bank of the Republic, at No. 2 Wall
street, New York city, has just
come to light. The details reveal
the fact that the city of ST. Louis mar
rowly escaped being one of Morgan's
victims to the extent of several thou
sand dollars, and that had it not
been for the almost perfect system Of
bookkeeping in vogue in the city comp
trollers Office, and the watchfulness of
the officials employed there. large
deficit in the municipal treasury might
have occurred. AS it was, it is be-
lieved by those best qualified to know
that Morgan's attempt to monkey"
with st. Louis account led to his ulti-
mate detection and exposure.
Some time since it was discovered
that he was short in his accounts ST.
700 His relatives made good all the
amount except some $500, which the
bank charged to profit and loss. He
was never arrested, and though the
bank officials claim that he is still liza
BILE to criminal prosecution, it is doubt
full if any further action will be taken.
Morgan entered the employ of the
Bank of the Republic nine years ago,
when he was only 16 years old. He be-
gan as messenger, but by keen and
faithful application to duty secured
several promotions, until about year
ago he was given the important posi-
ton of discount clerk.
In this capacity he handled the cash
for coupons, which fell due from va
rious bonds, held by investors all over
the country. Last August he took a
vacation, and the subordinate who was
placed at his desk soon discovered
that serious shortage existed. Nor
gan was notified to return. but instead
skipped out. His mother was on his
bond for $1,000. This amount she at
once turned over to the bank, though
it ruined her, and a few weeks later
she died.
About the middle of September the
absconder returned and claimed that
he could remember little of his travels,
except that he had found himself on
the way to ST. Louis. He claimed that
his actions were due to gambling and
whisky

To the Vengeance of His Enemy to Save
His Own Worthless Life.
GUTHRIE, Okla, Nov. 3O.-Three miles
west of Ingalls, lives the family of
John Simons. Wednesday an I'M
known man rode up to Simons'
door and asked for admittance. ST.
mons daughter opened the door, when
the stranger asked to see Simons. The
latter, hearing the mans voice and evil
IDENTIFY fearing some harm, refused to
respond and told his daughter to close
and lock the door.
This evidently angered the stranger,
for he deliberately aimed his Winches-
ter at the little girl and shot her
through the shoulder, producing prob
ably fatal wound.
After firing the stranger yelled: "rll
get you yet, Simons.'' and went off.
Evidence points to the fact that Sim
ons is a member of a horse thief gang
and has 'peached." The stranger was
selected to kill the 'spotter" man.

AMBROSE'S INJUNCTION.
He Prevents the Delivery of the
Hay Ridge Ferry Franchise.

Justice Barrett, of the Supreme Court,
this afternoon issued to John w. Am
brose, President of the South Brooklyn
Ferry Company, a temporary injunction
restraining the Mayor and members Of
the Sinking Fund Commissions from
delivering to the New York and Sea
Beach Railway Company the franchise
of the Bay Ridge ferry
In his petition Nh Ambrose asserts
that he bid q IL per cent of the gross
receipts of the ferry for the franchise,
while Abrick H. Mann's highest bid was
q lilo; that the Comptroller refused to
entertain his bid because ne desired to
run boats to any slip at or near the
foot of Whitehall street.
Mr.. Ambrose makes the further point
that the lease was drawn up in viola
ton of ordinances, because IT makes it
necessary for the operators of the
ferry to use the slips of the Staten ISL
and Rapid Transit Company, thereby
making 1t Improbable for any one to
bid against the present holders of the
franchise.
The matter will be argued at length
before Judge Barrett next Monday.
AS stated on another page of this
newspaper, the Rapid Transit Company
resumed the running of boats to Bay
Ridge to-day.
