It Remains Firm and Unchanged on the
Money Question. e ls
The reafirmation of the Ohio democ-
racy, of the democratic plank In the ma
tional convention of 1892 on the sub
ject of gold and silver calls atten-
tion to something that has been over
looked by . good many Of the takers
on the free coinage question. II has
been assumed by many Of these that
the doctrine of the dem mocratic party
on the subject is in doubt, while some
have not hesitated to affirm that the
party is In favor Of the free coinage OF
silver at the old rate of sixteen for
one. It is worth while, therefore, at
this time to recall that the only au-'
thoritative utterance OF the democratic
party on the subject is contained In
the platform of 1892. which was in !,
dorsed by the Ohio democracy. The
plank reads as follows:
1--WE aanounce the republican legislation
known as the Shermanact OF 1880 as coward
ly rnakeshift fraught with possibilities OF
danger In the futsre which should make all
Its supporters as well as its author anxious
for It's speedy repeal We hold to the use OF
both gold and silver az the standard money OF
the country and to the coinage OF both gold
T and silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for mintage; but the
dollar unit Of coinage OF both metals must Dc
of equal intrinsic and exohangeables value or
I be adjusted through international agree
ment or by such safeguards OF legislation as
shall insure the maintenance of the parity OF
the two metals and the equal power OF every
dollar ut all times in the markets and In the
payment OF debts; and We demand that all
L., .xay4ft and

| policy as especially necessary for the protec-
tion OF the farmers and laboring classes. the
| first and most defenseless victims Of unstable
money and fiuctuating currency. IS
As to what this meant there could be
no real doubt. The friends of free sill
yer had none at the time, for they
moved through Mr.. Patterson, OF Colo
rado, to insert the word free" before
the words coinage of both gold and
silver in the money plank. This mo- mo-
ton was eInphatica1ly voted down, and
the meaning of the plank, SO far IS
| free coinage of silver was concerned,
was thereby put. beyond the posi- bill
! ity of misconception or misconstruc-
| ton. It is worth while to recall also
! what President Cleveland said on the
same subject in his letter OF accept
ance. Starting with the proposition
! that the people are entitled to sound
and honest money abundantly sutfi-
cient in volume to supply their busl-
ness needs, he proceeded:

THE REPUBLICAN MISTAKE.
Defeated by Their Insane Force Bin Issue
fisssYg rs In 1892.

Defeated by Their Insane Force Bin Issue
III In 1892.
Chairman Manlsy OF the national re-
publican executive committee ex-
presses with candor the opinion that
his party made great mistake about
the force bill issue, and should have
dropped it eight years before they did.
This is retrospective and historical,
butis is interesting and undoubtedly
true. We imagine Mr.. ManleY says no
more than his former chieftain, the
Hon. James G.. Blaine, would say If he
were living now, or, would have said
with entire frankness II questioned on
the subject at any time within four
years before his death.
We believe, furthermore, that tho re-
mark Of Mr.. Manley expresses the
present convictions of Hon. Thomas B.
Reed On the subject. The force bill
Issue in 1892 was primarily and pc
culiarly the creation of Gen. Harrison,
and it defeated him and elected Mr..
Cleveland.
There is no probability that the
democratic campaign of 1896, whoever
the republican candidate may be. will
turn ON the issue of federal interfer.
ence in elections and negro domina-
ton in the south. 3
The disappearance of that issue from
American politics was the greatest i
not the only important result of ths
democratic victory three years agt

A delegation of Native Sons appeared
last night before the Board of City
Trustees.
c. n. Post addressed the board in rela-
ton to an appropriation in aid of secur-
ing the celebration of Admission Day in
this city by the Native Sons of the State.
He thought it would bring to the city
from 5000 to 5000 people, who should be
entertained properly on their arrival.
DeVIne moved that $500 be appropriated
for the purpose asked.
Lawton alluded to the benefit received
by the city from the appropriation made
to the State Agricultural Society last wear

and attendance on the f2ir. lie favored
the appropriation.
Leonard did not feel that the board had
legal right to appropriate the money.
and the city needs great many things.
He would be willing TO contribute pri-
vAtely, however.
Kent and Deyine favored the appropria-
ton, and Tozer thought the condition of

vine, Wachhorst, Bragg and Kent voting

N. E. BlZLBR'S METHOD OF LOVING.
Accused of Choking His Sweetheart
While Riding.
He Declares it to be a Trumped-Up
Charge Made by Non-Consent-
ing Relatives.

A teamster named NJ. Z. Etzler was
taken to the County Jail yesterday to
await examination on the grave charge of
having attempted a criminal assault on a
young girl named Dora Hugle in the
vicinity of Brighton on Sunday last,
while they were riding together. The
arrest was made by Constable Warren OF
that township.
1t is charged that Etzler and the girl
were out riding and that in order to ac-
complish his purpose Etzler choked her,
but her screams attracted the attention of
young man named Charles Tacknev,
who happened to be driving in the vicin-
ity, and that Etzler desisted when he
realized that Hackney had witnessed the
affair.
Hackney is reported as saying that Etz-
Ter admitted having attempted liberties
with the girl, and that she got out of the
! vehicle and he escorted her home.
EtZler, when seen at the County Jail
! shortly after he was locked up, strenu-
ously denied the charge against him and
said 1t was trumped up by the girls
uncle, Rube DeLong, who is opposed to
Etzler and the girl marrying.
He said he was engaged to be married
to her, and that the ceremony was to
take place on the 10Th of May, but the
girls mother had refused to give her con-
sent TO her daughters marriage, and in
sisted that 1t be put off until the 18th of
May, when the girl will become of age.
/ The girl, Etzler says, is anxious to be
married to him.
He admits having been out riding with
her on last Sunday, and that they had a
dispute about something, when Hackney
came along and took her home. He in
sists that the charge was brought against
him simply to prevent his marriage to
the girl
