all the rest of the free silver leaders,
pretend to believe that 30 per cent OF
the voters of the country are for r
silver, and it is on the strength of this
claim that they demand a free silver
platform and a free silver candidate
in 1896. The proposed national or
ganization of the free silver Demo-
Gratis is not for PROSECUTING purposes.
The leaders pretend that there is no
need of that. The strength of the
cause has reached high tide. They
recognize that, and, claiming that an
overwhelming majority of the people
are now in favor of free silver, they
propose to capture the party ma
chinery through In organization in
side the party, and thereby dictate
the nomination and the platform In
the national convention next year.
They would be better Democrats and
better patriots if they would cease
charging corruption and venality and
dark crimes against their opponents,
and acknowledge themselves in the
minority when tests of strength prove
that they lack the votes to controlthe
party.

HARRITY ON THE PROSPECTS.
The Cleveland Talk Discussed-Pr0b-
able Candidates The Tariff
the Issue.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-WM T. Har-
rity, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, arrived on the
American liner Paris this afternoon
from England. Regarding national pol
itics he said: "Although Cleveland is
q very strong man in his party | think
he has no idea of accepting a third
nomination for the Presidency. The
matter has been talked of a great deal,
but it is somewhat premature to expect
him to declare himself on the subject
just at present. When the time is OPP
perfume he will doubtless do so. AS
it is probable hat Mr.. Cleveland will
decline a third term and Mr.. Whitney
has declared that he will not accept a
nomination, we al look to Steven
son, Villas, Dickinson and Carlisle. In
many respects Carlisle would be a
strong man. The improved business
conditions throughout the country
have materially enhanced the position
of the Democratic party. / look for
still greater Improvement in the mer-
camille conditions. Abroad it is rec
ognized that matters have improved
the world over. / can only guess what
platforms will be adopted for the mex.
campaign. 1t won't be wholesome
for the Republicans to rant on the
subject of tariff. 1t seems to me, how
ever, that the tariff will be the issue
The Republican party will doubtless
make it their issue and 1 would like tC
see it. don't believe currency vii
cut much figure in the campaign. Botf
| parties will be sure to have a sount
money candidate.

ON THE WANE.
What Postmaster General Wilson
Thinks of Silver Agitation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Postmaster
General Wilson to-day, in an inter-
view, said that he thought the large
post Office returns of the past year
indicated prosperity. The signs of
prosperity were apparent.
"Do you think the silver a is on
the wane?"
eyes, / do. Out West it is not SC
much discussed Is formerly. ! be-
lieve that sound money will win next
year in the Democratic party"
He spoke of the sound money and
the silver advocates as follows: "The
| silver advocates are monometallists,
but the sound money men are not
necessarily SO. There r those who
favor gold as a single standard and
who desire the Government to issue
silver certificates as it Q 10 proper.
| On the other hand, there are those
who favor bimetallism with an inter-
national agreement"
"Do you believe the Democratic
National Convention next year will
have a silver plank in it?"
at will not. The convention will
declare in favor of sound money"
'Is the Democratic outlook favor
abIe?"
81 think So"
Mr.. Wilson said the nomination of
Mr.. Campbell for Governor of Ohio
was an excellent one, and presaged a
strong fight in that State. He did not
care to say much about Hardin, the
free silver Democratic candidate for
Governor of Kentucky.

In the States of Kentucky, Ohio and
Iowa, where tickets were to be nom
mated and full vote OF the Demo-
cratic party polled, the sound money
Democrats were overwhelmingly in
the majority. Referring to the con-
test in Ohio an exchange says:
The Democrats of Ohio had a vigor-
Gus ante convention fight among
themselves over the question whether
free silver delegates or sound money
delegates should be chosen, and the
result of the fight was that when the
square test vote was taken on the
plain question of adopting u Is to /
platform, the vote was 270 for it and
525 against 1t. 1t appears, therefore,
that the free silverites command about
one-thlrd of the strength OF the Ohio
Democracy. That was about the pro-
portion Of votes they were able to
carry to the Iowa and the Kentucky
conventions. 1t probably represents
the strength of free silver in these
three states, and perhaps not far from
the same proportion of voters in the
party in the whole country are In
favor OF 10 to 1 free silver. The
greater strength OF the cause in some
Western and Southern states is Offset
by the greater opposition to it in the
Eastern states.
In the light Of these fair and honest
tests of strength q moderation OF the
claims and arrogant demands Of the
extreme free silver leaders Ia q pa
triotic and a party duty. Harris and
Voorhees, and Bland and Stone, and

MOB DOES QUICK WORK.
Negro Murderer Taken From Jail and
Hanged to a Tree in the Court
House Yard.

SPRINGFIELD, KY, Aug. 26.-Short-
" after 2 o'clock this morning q mob
composed of about a dozen men took
Harrison Lewis, the negro who I'LL
dered Joe Brooks, also colored, last
Friday night, from the jail here and
hanged him to a tree in the Court
House yard. When the mob reached
the Jail they called for Jailer Smith,
but his wife informed them that he
was not at home and that he had
the keys to the Jail with him. This
did not daunt the mob, however.
Going to a blacksmith shop near by
they procured some sledge hammers
and, after several hours work, sue
ceeded in battering down the jail
doors. Lewis was found ~crouching in
his cell and begged piteously for his
life, but the leader ordered the men
to make quick work of him. He was
quickly seized and, after placing a
rope around his neck, was dragged to
the nearest tree and strung up with
out further ceremony.
The mob did its work in a quiet, or
derby way, and seemed to be thor
oughly organized. 1t is the opinion of
many that it vas composed of colored
men. After completion of their work
the mob quietly dispersed.
The murder was a ~dastardly one,
and the negroes have been greatly
worked up since its occurrence. Friday
night Lewis went to Brooks house,
and, calling him out to the door, shot
him down on his own threshold with
out any warning
Harrison Lewis, the man that was
lynched, was a brother of Matthew
Lewis, who narrowly escaped lynch
ing here about two weeks ago for as
| sault upon Mrs. Murray Shields, and
who was taken to Louisville for safe
keeping.

Mackintoshes Are Unhealthy.

~ 'hO NcW toEh LStuIuk "OTiu.
A well known doctor declares that
mackintoshes and pneumonia are
twins. Any rubber garment, whether
of silk or wool on the outside, is a very
warm garment, and consequently
there is a constant temptation to wear
M with nothing in the way of a wrap
underneath. But almost all mackin-
toshes are loose with only sling sleeves
or no sings at all, so that while they
exclude ldampness they freely admit
the chilling wind just where the body
is most sensitive. A long circular
cloak of serge makes a better storm
cloak than the most expensive i'm
ported macintosh, and an ulster is
best of all.

AS TO SEDALIA'S BOND.
Governor Stone Asked to Fix the
Guarantee for the Capital
Removal.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, August "a
Hon. J. H. Boutwell, and State Sena-
tor Charles Yeater, of Sedalia, were
here to-day and had a long audience
with Governor Stone relative to the
guarantee bond Sedalia will be re-
quired to put up before the proposed
constitutional amendment for the re-
moval of the State Capital is sub
mitted. Governor Stone listened to
what they had to say, but did not ex-
press himself in regard to the amount
of the bond he will require Sedalia to
put up. 1t is probable that he will
consult some skilled and reliable
architect before announcing the
amount of the bond,

The Paris appeal says: "Paris is
again a dry town. The saloon bust
ness failed to pay and O'Donnell did
not renew the license, which expired
Monday night. A town of 1900 in
habitants that don't consume enough
liquor to support one saloon is not
often seen, but that's the kind of a
town Paris is. 1t would be an awful
thing now if some of us should get a
snake bite. We should die before the
right kind of medicine could be i'm
ported from Hannibal or Moherly.W
