the campaign, but SO long the issue can
be kept upon silver Mr.. Bryan. as a stand
ard bearer of the allied forces, can keep the
enemy on the run and the Republicans
realize this. Therefore, failing TO win on
principle, / believe the trump card will be
ency of Mr.. Sewallfs record and how much
of rnisfit he is on the Democratic ticket
1t is possible for him to become the hero
of the campaign by rising above personal
ambition and declaring that the silver
cause must win. If, on the other hand, he
insists on continuing and the attack on
him should result in Bryan's defeat, he
would be held responsible by an indignant
people and would be scorned and hated as
the most unpopular man in America.
Mr.. Sewall cannot be forced off the
ticket. 1t would be better for hin. to re-
main on than to retire in a way that would
do his party injury, but he could declare
in patriotic way that the cause of silver
lies nearer to his heart than personal ad-
vancement. The Maine election is over.
He has demonstrated his weakness. His
party vote in his own ward was only about
one half of what it was four years ago.
He has contended four times for election
from his ward to the aldermanic chamber
and has been defeated twice, the last time
by shop joiner. who polled 121 votes to
his rs. L understand, further. that Mr.
Sewall attended the June convention of his
party in his State which adopted a gold
platform. We have had a hare time to re-
strain our people up TO the present time
and the gravity of the situation has not
dawned on the Democratic leaders, The
crisis is at hand and / trust way will
be found to unite all of the reform forces
upon two candidates representing both
sides, to resist the united forces of the
Cleveland Republicans and Mckinley DEM
ocrats. The only way TO unite is for the
Democrats to take our man..

not deprecated in value. 1t is not doubted
that whatever can be lawfully done to
maintain equality in the exchangeabie
value of the two metals will be done when
ever it becomes necessary and, although
silver dollars and silver certificates have
not up TO the present time been received in
exchange for gold, yet if the time shall
ever come when the parity cannot be other
wise maintained such exchanges will be
made.
1T is the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury and of all other public officials
to execute in good faith the policy declared
by Congress, and whenever he shall be sat
isfied that the silver dollar cannot be kept
equal in purchasing power with the gold
dollar. except by receiving 1t in exchange
for the gold dollar when such exchange
is demanded, it will be his duty to adopt
that course. But if our present policy is
adhered TO and the coinage is kept within
reasonable limits, the means heretofore en-
ployed for the maintenance of the parity
will doubtless be found sufficient in the
future, and our silver dollars and
silver certificates will continue 70
circulate at par with gold, thus enabling
the people to use both metals instead of
one only, as would be the case if the parity
was destroyed by free coinage. Yours truly.

MRS. SEWHLL FAVORS GOLD.
She Also Is Said to Have Keen Dis
like to Public Life.

BATH, Me-, Sept. 15.-Mrs. Arthur NJ.
Sewall, wife of the vice presidential cam
didate of the Chicago ticket, is understood
to be a gold Democrat. This completes a
strange political trio in the SewaH family.
The husband is a silver standard bearer,
the wife a gold Democrat and the son a
gold-bug Republican.
On the night of her husbands nomina-
ton Mrs. Sewall had TO be consoled when
she heard the news. She intensely dis
likes the idea of anything looking to-
wards public life. Harold Sewall, the gold
bug Republican son of the silver candi-
date, consoled his mother with the idea
that it would never be more than NOM
ination.
So strong is Mrs. Sewalrs objection to
public life and so determined is her will,
it is said, that even If Mr.. Sewall should
be elected she would elect. to give Wash
ington a very cold shoulder, and very
likely stick to her Maine home and the
pursuits she cares for.
She is thorough New England house
wife, economical and systematic and
never allows her outside pleasures to in
terfere with the care of the handsome
home in Bath.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-Through the

Elizabeth Cavanaugh. an aged woman, who
owns considerable property, and she desig-
mates as the defendants her son Robert and
her husband Morris Cavanaugh. She
charges them with having conspired to-
gether to rob her of her possessions, and
with having kidnapped her and caused her
to be held prisoner for four months in a
local private insane asylum.
Years ago Mrs. Cavanaugh took in wash

stroke of good fortune her troubles began

The voice of Maine does not indicate any

test of BryanS popularity, or even of the

Gen. Powell Clayton's View OF the
Democratic MaterIOo.


NEW YORK. Sept. 15.-General Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas, when seen by a re-
porter at the Republican national head
quarters to-day, said of the result of the
Maine election: THE battle was fought on
the ground selected by the enemy, and the
glorious victory far exceeded our most
sanguine expectations, did the Vermont
election. The result seems to indicate that
a large number of Democrats must have
voted the Republican ticket, and that there
was a very large number of quiet votes
cast by people who think deeply but say
very little. / think it clearly shows that
surprises of the same character will be
found to come from all of the States in

effect on Mr.. Sewall as to make him with

JONES TAKES THE CAKE.
He Figures Out Marvellous Gain for
Silver i'm Maine.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national COM
mittee, left Washington for Chicago to-
night. When asked to-day for an opinion
as to the result of the Maine election he
said: when we consider the Democrats
of Maine held convention and nominated
a gold ticket on gold platform, and that
subsequently they met and reversed this
action, declaring for silver, and that this
was followed SO soon by an election at
it did two years ago, / think it shows a
mervelous gain for silver Instead, there-
fore, of feeling disheartened over the result
l feel greatly encouraged. 1t must be re-
membered that Maine is in the extreme
East where We never have hoped FOR any
but the most meager results for silver. The
returns ought to add to the hope of our
friends all over the country.'

farmers came over $50 miles. State Senator
Norman b. Critchfield made the intro
ductory address. saying:
Major McKinley-I have been asked by
this delegation with which / have come
from Somerset to express to you I'm a few
words our confidence not only in you per-
represent. The county from which we
come is purely an agricultural county,
more so. perhaps, than most of the coun-
ties of the East, and SO 1t happens that
delegation is made up almost entirely
of farmers. and as such VIC are interested
in whatever relates to the welfare of those
whose business II is to feed the world.
I'VE know no man in whom we can re-
pose more confidence than yourself. We
have noticed with satisfaction your public
career, and we believe that you have al
ways proved true to every trust commit
and we are satisfied that when you are
called to occupy the most responsible place
in the Nation. you surely Will be, the
interest of the whole American people will
be no less sacred to you than have been
the interests of tine 100000 inhabitants OF
your Commonwealth.
1T is not simply question of who shall
be President Of this great Republic during
the four years that shall follow; but the
question to be settled il whether the de-
preston during the past three years has
brought desoIation and suffering into
burden that oppresses our people of this
country shall be lifted and the light of 9TH
er days be made TO shine In places where
now there is only darkness. BY far the
largest proportion of the money that Is
employed in the business operations Of the
country is paid for labor and from the
wage earners of the land the largest pro-
portion in the end comes to us TO pay for
the products of our farms. Not only must
the wage earners come to US for the means
of subsistence. but all other classes are
subject to the same dependence. Who,
then can be more Interested in keeping

a dollar that can be exchanged for any

the dollar decreases so certainly the rate
of interest wiz increase.
