We publish elsewhere an interview
with Hon. W. J. Lingenfe!ter, in
which he advises that, since the
oddities OF both old parties in the
east have united at the polls to main
tain the gold standard, it is time for
the free silver people Of the west to
coast aside former political names
and prejudices," and affiliate with
those who are sincere in their devo-
'tion to monetary reform; and asserts
further that he "believes the Peoples
party is the only organized political
power extant, which is friendly to
silver and silver money, and the on
ly asylum wherein the friends Of sill
yer, as money, can hope to achieve
success"
This interview was prepared for
our issue of Nov. Z, but was with
held until the writer returned from a
trip away from home, and we now
give it to our readers in full.
This practically puts Senator Lin
genfelter in line with the Populist
party, seeing that the financial ques-
ton is to be the leading one in the
next campaign. Senator Lingenfel-
ter's action will have great weight
with the people. He is man who
does not triAe with words or whims.
Some OF US have known for months
that he was bordering on our party
and the fact that his name was pre-
sented by his friends to the last Pop
ulist county convention for Treasurer
will not now seem so strange to
those who meditated about it at the
time. The massing Of the goldites
in the east regardless Of party al the
late elections served as an object
lesson to show him his duty, and he
now steps out and takes his place
where his sentiments have long been
before.
Senator Lingenfelter has been
honored by the people Of this county
heretofore, having represented Sum.
ner county in the legislature Of 1884,
and in 1887 was elected as state
senator from Sumner and Harper
counties. The people have thus
shown their appreciation Of hi
talent and his integrity, and he car
ries force with him wherever he take
his stand. We are glad TO welcome
him into our ranks, and believe that
numbers Of others, coinciding will
his excellent judgment, will take thu
same course. With a union of al
reform forces in one party they vii
sweep everything before them. Tit
Republican party will be destined tt
become at once the minority party

6UFFALo, June 2S.-The police have
made no arrests in the Gothic ransom case.
The two men who made this respected
and venerable citizen their captive for
forty hours have had opportunity to leave
the city, and presumably have fed. The
man whom the police would be glad to
find, and on whom they have fixed as the
author Of this kidnapping plot, is a former
resident Of Cincinnati, who some years
ago was arrested, tried, and convicted for
violating the postal laws. He was sem
fenced to q long term of Imprisonment,
but succeeded in escaping and making his
way to Canada. where he eiUdcd pursuit
and extradition. Ee opened negotiations
with Cottle to secure q pardon for him to
enable him to return to the United States.
He wrote the attorney that he had

mated variously from 5000 to SlS, 600,
WAS put in Attorney Ccttlc's hands, but
he did not get the pardon. The man re-
pcatedly wrote expressing regret, then
Indignation, finally threatening that il
Cottle did not return the money or part
of it he would make trouble. But being
convict he could not come to the
United States to sue for it and SO, ac-
cording to the police, he obtained con-
fedcrate in the person of another ex.

The secretary says the reports 50 far re-

him in June last are substantially correct.
These estimates were as follows: Corn,
