There is no question now that the
campaign OF 1896 will be fought out on
the money issue The east Is united
and emphatic IN it's demand for the
hnal adoption OF Il gold standard by
this country. The contest is between
the capitalist of the northeast and the
rest of the people OF the country. AS
the money cenlers never divide their

they Will need all their votes to meet
the solid Dhalanx which will form west

east. Negotiations have not yet pro-

bill when the final test came, and thus
put himself in line with the financial
forces. There is no question that
Cleveland and Reed on "a presidential
ticket would draw the gold stan

There might be some opposition from
the Hills forces, but that could be re-
moved by an understanding that MIR.

Herald again suggest that the only re-
medy for our present financial depres-
sion is pointed out in the platform
adopted by the last democratic state
convention OF Nebraska. The plank
reads as follows:

MERGED, CAL. Oct. S.-Yesterday
Bank Commissioner Paris Kiibourn,
Colonel J. B. Fuller ana Judge H. w.
McGee finished the business they came
here to transact regarding the MERGED
bank, and intend taking the afternoon
train for Riverside. But the depositors
of the bank are wrathy at the commits
sioners and charge the latter with acting
in bad faith with them. They therefore
contrived to have the com missioners sub-
poeuaed before the grand jury today, so
they could not leave town yesterday.
While commissioners were waiting to be
interviewed by the grand jury today the
WORK of making more trouble for them
was in progr ess. At 3 o'clock this after.
noon as the commissioners EN- erged from
the grand jury rooms and started for the
train they were confronted IN the CORR
doris OF the court house by Constable T.
A. Mack, armed with warrants for their
arrest. The warrants we're sworn out by
V. q. Frost, one of the attorneys OF the
depositors, and charges them with mis-
demeanor. in having failed to do their
duty in their investigations ofsthe MERGED
bank. The commissioners listened to
the reading of the warrants and then
proceeded in CONF any with the constable
TO the office OF Justice OF the Peace Read,
who placed them under $500 bonds each.
The commissioners wanted to be released
on their own recognizanoe, inasm UGH as
they are already under heavy bonds, but
the judge refused so they started out to
find bondsmen. First they sought At
torney James +. Peck and engaged him
to act as their counsel. He conferred
with Justice Read and District ATTORNEY
Ostrander, who both agreed that the gen.
tlemen under arrest be allowed to 60 on
| their recognizance without bonds. The
attorneys also reached an agreement
| whereby the defendants are to have
| twenty days notice when their cases are
| set for trial. After all this had been ar
ranged the commissioners were subpop-
| ned to appear before the grand Jury
again tomorrow relative to m after Just
brought before the jury today.
Last May the directors OF the MERGED
bank agreed to allow the depositors to
| put an expert in the bank and make an
investigation. r. Gracey did tine work
and reported to the depositors that the
bank was insolvent. The depositors wrote
the facts and asking them to come and
take charge of the bank. The commits
sioners replied that the depositors could
get relief and referred them to the old
bank act. This letter was written after
the new bank act became law, requir-
ing the commissioners to take charge OF
every bank found insolvent. So the CON-
misoners must tomorrow explain their
| ignorance or negligence to the grand

plication for a pardon in the case of

earnest and have come to me from such
various and influential quarters, and the
considerations which would invest the
granting of clemency with satisfaction
are SO exceptionally strong, that l regret
the conclusion which my sense of duty
has forced upon me. A thorough exam
inatlon of the case has conclusively con-
vInced me that cold FLOODED and cruel
murder was committed by this convict
and two others equally guilty. The fact
that one Of them has escaped punishment
is a failure of justice. Every ground
upon which the creoitable and humane
appeals in behalf of the convict are based
fails when subjected to the tests of ex
