RUSSELL FOE PRESIDENT.
The Er- Governor of MassGchIsetts Said
to Be Candidate.


BOSTON, MASS, Sept. 2y.-New England
Will be a strong factor in the Presidential
election of the coming year. In addition
to tie strong hold which Thomas B. Reed
has on the Republicans of the East the
Democrats will doubtless place as their
representative Ex-Governor William E..
Russell, who is one of the strongest leaders
of the party in the country. Governor
Russell has not been talking much. but is
in the light of a dark horse, and if his
friends see fit to put him in the race he
will surely run.
When seen by CALL correspondent this
evening he refused to say much about the
matter, excepting that he had been ap-
preached by several influential members
of the party, and that if they saw best he
would enter the field. The strongest can
didate thus far has been Hon. John E.
Russell, who was defeated by Governor
Greenhalge in 1893 and 1894 for the Gov
ernorship of the State, but the Democrats
think that Governor Russell is by far the
strongest candidate, and will support him
for the nomination.
He is very strong in the East with the
parties, and if nominated would doubtless
secure many votes outside of his own
party, and it is on his popularity that the

WILMINGTON, DEL, Sept. 29.-Unlted
States District Attorney Vandegrift has
instructed Collector of Customs Townsend
to retain possession of the arms and am
munition which were captured when the
alleged Cuban tilibusters were arrested on
August 90. The arms, ETC., are stored in
the basement of the Federal building. In
structions respecting their disposal will
probably be received from Washington
some time this week.
The friends of the Cuban cause in this
city, since the acquittal of the alleged fill
busters in the United States courts, are
receiving hundreds of signatures to petit
ton asking Congress, at its coming session,
to grant belligerent rights to the Cubans.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 29.-The storm
which broke over this city and which has
prevailed over the lake for the past two
days has been the most severe of the sea-
son. The maximum velocity of the wind
was fifty-fve miles an hour and the rain
was very heavy. Much alarm was felt in
marine circles over the safety of several
vessels overdue, but it is believed they
have all put in port at safe harbors. There
were several accidents to-day in this har-
Dor, but no loss of life, and the money loss
will be slight.

Will BE BUILT At SEATTLE.
Contract for One of the Netc Torpedo
Boats FindILU Atcdrded

bOutS HtNuttU AUOTueU.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 29.-Secre-
tary Herbert has awarded the contract for
building one of the new torpedo-boats to
Moran Brothers of Seattle, Wash, at their
bid of 100000. This boat is the last to be
constructed under recent act of Congress,
which provided for three sea-going torpedo
boats-one to be built on the Mississippi
River, one on the Atlantic and one on the
Pacific coast.
AS no bid was received from ship
builders on the Mississippi, the other two
boats will be built by the Herreshoffs, and
will have to be completed within twelve
months after the contract is formally en-
tered into.
Moran Brothers original proposal was
Sl64, 4,000 but this amount was more than
Congress authorized the Secretary to
spend. The navy department was also
doubtful of the ability of the firm to do the
work successfully, and an engineer was
sent from Mare Island, Cal, to inspect
their plant. His report being favorable,
Secretary Herbert informed the firm that
he would accept their amended bid of
SI60 900.

by one of the officers of the company,
which mentions the fifty general
agents and the fifty local agents which
have been the most successful during
the month before. The report just
issued states that the general
agent for Missouri, G. G. Kendrick,
under whose direction Mr.. VOORHEES,
works, has been advanced from 18th
to 18th place among the fifty. Mr.. G.
G. VOORHEES, is 26th among the local
agents. That means that Mr.. Voor-
HES, during the month of April, was
2Sth among the fifty local agents who
wrote the most insurance in the United
States for this company. Mr.. Voor-
HES has a right to congratulate him
self on his success during that month.
He is also in receipt of a congratulate
ry letter from MI. Kendrick, his general
agent, which he prizes very highly.
We know of no gentleman who is a
specialist in his line of business that
takes more interest in his work than
Mr.. VOORHEES, does. While he was very
successful during the month of April,
he was a sick man all the time, and if
he had had his usualhealth might have
doubled his business. He represents
a good company and is a good worker
himself.

The Local Paper.

Don M. Mabie says: sit is q little
remarkable that a local newspaper
seldom gets credit for the good it does
to a community. The preacher holds
a revival meeting, tells the people the
way of life and warns them of dan
gers, and he is regarded as a great
be~nefactor. The newspaper exposes
rascals, keeps men good from fear OF
such exposure; generally advocates
what is to the best interest of a town
and community, and its reward, often,
is to be regarded as acommon enemy.
Many good people take a pride in de-
nouncing the press at the least provo
cation, but never sec any good that
It does. 1t IL for this reason that many
papers absolutely refuse to devote
space to neeeed reforms, because
those who push these reforms most
lend little encouragement to the
newspapers. II good people would
ace to 1t, that the paper that assaults
wrong wherever it appears Is wei
supported, the paper could afford al
ways to take radical steps. A preach
er's salary goes on all the same nc
matter how many he may condemn
Not SC with the newspaper, let II bt
said to the detriment of the good PEG

Sensible and Sound,

FROM the SnelDlna thlO.j INDEX.
If the sober sentiment of the party
is that a convention this year would
do good, then a convention ought to
be called. We do not think there is
any hurry about it. We had a conven-
ton one year ago that fought over the
same question and made a declaration
on the subject, and VIM. j. Stone was
president of that convention and
Bland was chairman of the committee
on platform and the report he brought
in was adopted. Under these circum-
stances it hardly looks necessary to
again convene and fight over the
same subject.
This is a matter of grave impor-
lance to the party. There is a radical
division in sentiment among Demo-
Gratis. In this section there are very
few Democrats who favor the single
gold standard; nearly all r for BIZ
metallism. But there r many who
believe that bimetallism can be Sc
cured and maintained by the unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1; while there are also many who
do not believe this possible. They
believe that if this country under
takes to coin all the silver offered at
the old ratio then gold will Immediate
ly disappear and we shall be placed
upon a silver basis like Mexico. In
this respect, that is in reference to
the ratio there is a radical difference
among Democrats. If a convention
is called it will precipitate a fight in
the party. Is this desirable? Demo-
Gratis should think this matter over
carefully, and not rush into the con-
vention business without first weigh
ing all the consequences.

pure silver in the silver dollar was
never changed and remained the unit
of values until 1879,
In 1879, before the resumption of
specie payments, when our currency
was principally greenbaeks and no
silver n gold IN circulation, a bill was
passed through Congress ''like the
silent tread of a cat changing the
unit of value from the silver to the
gold dollar, and dropping out OF the
mintage laws any authority to coin
silver dollars; and, further, destroy
ing the legal tender value OF the silver
dollars already coined, except in the
payment of debts to the amount of
five dollars. No language of national
platform, orator or statesman has
been too strong in cha~racterizing this
stealthy change in the standard of
values for sixty million of people.
The corne stone of the gold trust
was then laid. Previously both gold
and silver, as companion metals, had
enjoyed equal legal tender value and
equal eoinaga@silege. Now, not
only vas silver robbed of it's primacy
as the standard unit, but its legal ten
der value largely destroyed and de-
MED absolute entrance to the minis
for coinage. What wonder we hear
now the cry of a 6O-cent dollar!

the coin circulation to a forced mini
mum and produce an excuse for more
bonds. The Secretary of the Treas
ury was given the "discretion" to buy
silver, issue bonds, ETC., to give both
foreign and domestic creditors a free
swing at the wealth of the American
people through that gateway of fraud
the Federal Treasury-whose doors
for twenty-six years have swung out
ward on well oiled hinges to every
rogue in Christendom. The bonds are
o being issued, however, without
authority of law.
Grid up our loins, all men who are
worth the name of freemen, enroll
your names under the silver banners
of '96. The great state of Illinois is al
ready forming the advance column
and Missouri should now furnish the
second corps of the mighty, coming,
tramping hosts of victory.
