Sensational Letter Addressed to the
Prisoaer by Texas Popuiisss-
The text Of a telegram to Debs, sent
by the State Populists is:
ITO Eugene V. Debs and your asso-
ciates, now in Woodstock Jail, Illinois
We, the populists of Texas. in mass
convention assembled at Fort Worth
August 6. 1895, recognizing the fact that
you are now in prison for no crime COM
mitted by you, but for your defense Of
humanity, right. liberty and justice to
the toflers of this great nation; having
been placed where you now are by In
justice. without trial by jury, at the
dictation of the money power, against
the constitution of the United States OF
America. we hereby tender you our
heartfelt sympathy and bid you be or
good cheer, for your letter, for which
we thank you kindly, speaks with more
force and power with you in prison than
you could if here in person. We there
fore pledge you our united support in
the restoration of this government to
the original constitution given us by
our forefathers over 100 years ago. This
we mean, and this we intend, by the
help OF a Divine Providence now, no
matter what the cost or method to be
adopted. We regret the cause that las
led us to this action. but are determined
that the cause shall be removed. for we
know that under it no liberty for the
wealth producers of this country can
exist. Bidding you to be hopeful. we
are fraternally yours for government
for and by the people. Unanimously
adopted by rising vote.

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.
Declare Themselves Opposed to Free
Coinage of Silver.

Declare Themselves Opposed to Free
Coinage of Silver.
In the Pennsylvania republican con.
vention Congressman Dalzell, discuss
ing the money plank in the platform,
said: There is not an industry that
does not demand the maintenance of
sound money, and by sound money I
mean money good at par in any market
In the civilized world. An impression
has gone abroad that there is free
silver party in Pennsylvania, and that
that party is republican. Hence, in
my judgment, there is a crying neces-
sity for the republican party in Penn
sylvania in this convention assembled
to declare itself unequivocally against
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at any other ratio than that fixed
by international agreement. There
| are thousands of republicans west OF
the Mississippi who claim that the re-
publican platform as adopted at Min
neapolis means the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. / want to get rid Of
that impression. In order that there
may be no straddling, and in order that
no man can stand up and say Pennsyl-
vania republicans are seeking to catch
votes by straddling the free silver ques-
| ton, add to your platform that the re-
publican party of Pennsylvania de-
clares 1t is opposed to the free and un-
| limited coinage of silver in any other
ratio than that fixed by international
agreement"
The convention complied with Dali
zell's command by adding to it meaning
less tumble of tangled relative and
parenthetical phrases the declaration
of its Opposition to the debasement of
the national currency by the admis-
sion Of silver to free and unlimited
coinage at the arbitrary ratio of 16
| to l."
The first part Of the money plank
adopted is the same old double-back-
action fiip-fap Grover Cleveland has
been performing: I'VE accept unre-
servedly the determination enunciated
by the republican national convention
of 1892 that we demand the use of both
| gold and silver money with such re-
strictions and under such provisions tc
be determined by legislation as will Sc
cure the maintenance of the parity Of
values of the two metals so that the
purchasing and debt-paying power ot
the dollar whether of silver, gold OF
paper shall at all times be equally
faithful to the republican party"
They want money that is faithful tt
the republican party"
Money is what controls the republic.
an party-and it wouldn't be good pol
itics to have money in this countr!
that was faithful to all the people.
Sounds funny, don't it?
The Globe-Democrat, leading west
ern republican paper, says: 9TH,
money plank shows that the Pennsyl
vania republicans are in line with thei
party all over the country on that is
sue"
They are in line with the party, il
line with Cleveland and Sherman, II
line with England and Wall street.
. OF course money will be faithful t
the republican party"

Two of n Kind That stole Everything
In Sight.

Mr.. Taylor, the defaulting treasurer
of South Dakota, who stole everything
that was not nailed down, got SEN
tence of five years in the penitentiary.
He is a republican.-Lima Times-Dem-
ocrat.
Mr.. Hemingway, the defaulting treas
urer of Mississippi, who stole every
thing that was not nailed down, got a
sentence of five years in the peniten-
tlary. He is Democrat. Taylor. the
republican, stole over $4,000. Hem
ingway, the democrat, stole over $311.-
600. but was limited to that amount be-
cause there wasn't anything else for
him to steal. A brace of fine ducks. rep
resenting the old parties that smell to
heaven with rottenness. 1t is really
amusing TO see these old bawds max
ing faces at each other.-Lima Sentinel.

Some things never die until they are
shot to death. Chattel slavery was one
of those things and 1t looks now like
debt slavery would only be settled in
the same way. ''Give me liberty, or
give me death" is as patriotic a senti-
ment to-day as it was one hundred and
twenty years ago.

The National bankers laugh at
Coxey's money idea. Yet the govern

lot Of irresponsible. non-producing
dead-heads are back of the National

Coxey's plan.

The main fact. without considering
any Of the elaborate arguments on
either side.is that the people do not use
gold in their transactions, and the
bankers went to force the people to use
bank notes instead of government pa
per and silver.

The Democrats at Eminence, Ken

The trouble with the platform which
P. Wat Hardin of Kentucky is trying to
