Republican Candidate for Governor
Indulges in Remarkable Straddle
ON Currency Question.

Orange City, Iowa, Oct. 1.-Gen. Drake,
Republican candidate for governor,
opened the campaign this afternoon.
Speaking of the money question, he said:
'sWe must have a sound and stable cur
rency, a currency not liable to fuctua-
tions, for the safe aad successful conduct
of business and the employment of labor
and the buying and selling Of its products.
The Republican party is in favor of good
money and of sufficient volume to fAcili-
tate the employment Of labor and the un-
limited transaction of business. Gold
and silver should be maintained on
parity, otherwise trouble must come and
disaster follow. OF the position OF the
Democratic party on this question there
is NO exact knowledge. It is at least sad
ly divided. The outcome of its policies
is even more uncertain"

Treasury Statement for Sep

Washington, Oct. 1.-The president has
commuted to Imprisonment for life the
death sentence imposed upon Clyde Mat
tox, of Kansas. This is the case in
which the prisoners mother, after appeal
ing personally to the president, secured
letter assuring r'that the death SEN
tence would not be carried out.
Mattox was convicted of killing an old
colored man, John Mullen, who was seek
ing to protect two colored girls. He was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged in
Kansas in 1891, gained new trial from
the U. 8. supreme court, and after two
more trials was again convicted and re-
sentenced to death on March 23, 1894.
Another appeal was taken to the U. s.
supreme court and this time the
judgment was affirmed and the convict
was sentenced to be hanged on October
IL, of this year. AS last resort an ap-
peal was made to the president.
III his Endorsement the president said:
"It is with much hesitation that can
show any measure OF clemency in this
case, inasmuch as 1 DO not regard this
convict as entitled to any sympathy be-
cause of his former life or the testimony
taken in the trial. l have concluded,
however, after anxious and perplexing
consideration of all the facts presented
to me, to save the convict from the death
awaiting him under sentence of the court,
aud at the same time effectively protect
society in future against his vicious pro-
pensities by directing his imprisonment
during life. am constrained to this
course simply because can not shut out
the fear that certain testimony offered
upon his trial, and excluded by the court,
and which a strong minority of the su-
preme court held should have been re-
ceived, might, if admitted, have produced
result more favorable to the convict and
probably have averted his sentence of
DEATH"

As to the publishing of picture of
Maso with the name of Treadway under
it in st. Louis paper, such mistake
might have easily occurred. If it did, it
was the mistake made by the correspond
emit, or by the printer. The government
had nothing to do with it. The articles
furnished the st. Louis paper we're written
by their special correspondent who was
sent here for the purpose of reporting
the trial, and the government officials
had nothing to do whatever with their
preparation. The correspondent, Mr..
Stevens, was present in the court room
during the whole trial, and selected The

self. The pictures of Maso and Tread
way we're presented to the court in sup
port of Mr. Reavis' claim, and the news

seem to insinuate were to affect the &C.

is ridiculous, especially in view of the
fact that Mr.. Reavis has been trying his
part of the case in the great dailles of
San Francisco for the last three years,
and even made statements in that city to
the effect that the judges of the court of
private land claims had been appointed
directly through his efforts, and that the
United States attorney also owed his
place to Reavis' influence, all of which it
is unnecessary to say was absolutely
false, and simply intended to assist
Reavis in obtaining more money from
his victims.

DR.. Sherwood says, "Can any one tell
me what right an American court has to
60 to Mexico to sit and decide that docu-
ments that have been declared by Mexi-
can courts to be genuine are frauds and
forgeries?" If this means anything, it
means to ipsinuate that the documents
upon which Reavis' claim was based and
which were found in the archives at
Guadalajar had been declared to be
genuine by the Mexican courts. The
genuineness of those documents as
never passed upon by any Mexican
tribunal, or by any Mexican official hav-
ing authority to declare them to be gen

of the officers in charge of the archives
