Death of Ex-Gorernor Russell.

The sad news of the sudden death
of Ex-Governor Russell of Massachu-
sets was flashed over the country
last Thursday morning. He was at
the camp of his friend B. F. Dutton, of
the firm of Houghton & Dutton, Bos-
ton, on the Little Paos river in the
Canada woods. He went to bed APP
parently in his usual health Wednes-
day night and was found dead in bed
the next morning. Heart disease
was probably the cause.
Governor Russell returned home
from the Chicago convention Satur-
day, the 18th, and spent Sunday
with his family at their summer home
at Magnolia. The following Monday
he was at his office in Boston, and
that night left Boston with his broth
er and friend to spend two weeks in
salmon fishing at the Dutton camp.
1t is said that he complained of feel
ing used up" when at Chicago, but
aside from this it was not known
that he was in ill health.
William E. Russell was a native OF
Cambridge, Mass, and his home was
in that city. He came of Puritan an
cestry. His age was only 80. He
was graduate of Harvard College
and of the Boston University Law
School. He began the practice Of
law in Boston in 1880. The follow.
ing year, when he was only "a, he
was elected to the Cambridge city
council and served there and on the
board of aldermen four years. In
1885 he was elected Mayor of the
city and was reelected three times
Then followed his remarkable career
in connection with the Massachusetts
Governorship. He was first nomi
mated for that office by the Demo
Gratis in 1888, the year of Cleveland's
first election to the Presidency. He
was defeated, but when the votes
were counted it was found that ht
had received 10000 more votes thar
were received by the Cleveland elect
ors. In 1889 he was again the stand
ard bearer of his party, and thil
time he cut the Republican plurality
down from $4,000 of the preceding
year to CTS. The next year, 1891
he was elected end reelected the two
following years. He then retired tt
private life and the practice of tn,
law, and had not been much heard il
politics until just before the Chicago
convention. In that convention h.
made a strong plea for conservative
action and against the vagaries 0
the Populistic majority.
Governor Russell was a man @
charming personality. He possessed
remarkable tact, and few men cOulc
so win upon an audience in a publ
address. His private life was clean
He leaves a wife and children. Hi
administrations as Governor was able
upright and for the public good. Hi
career has been remarkable for a MAJ
of his years-less than 40 years old
and his death causes sincere grie
among men of all political partie
who believe in clean politics and goo
government.

How 1t Would Work.

1t is said that over ninety per cent.
of all mortgages are now overdue.
If this is the case and by any mis-
chance a free silverite should be elect
ed President and both House and
Senate should fall into the hands of
the free silver men, with certainty
that within a comparatively short
time this country would open the
minis to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, what would be the i'm
mediate effect? A notice of foreclosure
would be given upon every overdue
mortgage. Proceedings would be
pushed to their utmost. Fearing a
return to a silver basis, the owner of
the mortgage would have no mercy,
for he would know that it meant de-
probation unless he hurried the mat
ter. There would remain to the
debtor only one of two alternatives.
He would either have to give up his
little place or write a new contract
stipulating that the mortgage shall
be payable, principal and interest, in
gold. In the meantime the greatest
hardship would ensue. Debtors as
we'll as creditors will think twice be-
fore they will subscribe to the va
carries of the silver men.

Mexico is an out and out "free sill

The Mexican dollar, which weighs six
grains more than the American dol
lar, is quoted to-day in Boston and
all the markets of the world at
"53&@54A." In other words, the
Mexican free silver dollar gives the
country a currency which is worth
about the same as our greenbacks
were after the war, when gold was at a

THE TWO PLATFORMS.
Republicans for an Honest Dollar.


The Republican party is unre-
servedly for sound money. 1t caused
the enactment of the law providing
for the resumption of specie pay
meats in 1879; since then every
dollar has been as good as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit of
our country. We are therefore, OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver ex-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of
the world, which we pledge ourselves
to promote, and until such agree
ment can be obtained, the existing
gold standard must be preserved.
All our silver and paper currency
must be maintained at parity with
gold, and we favor all measures de-
signed to maintain inviolably the
obligations of the United States and
all our money whether coin or paper,
at the present standard-the stan
dard of the most enlightened nations
of the earth.
Democrats for Reputation.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at
the present legal ratio OF Is to /,
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation. We de-
mand that the standard silver dollar
shall be full legal tender, equally
with gold, for all debts, public and
private, and we favor such legisla.
ton as will prevent for the future the
characterization of any kind of Legal
tender money by private contract.
We are opposed to the policy and
practice of surrendering to the hold
ers of the obligations of the United
States the option reserved by law tC
the government redeeming such OBJ
legations in either silver or gold coin
We are oppoed to the issuing O
interest bearing bonds of the United
States in time of peace, and condemn
the trafficing with banking syndi
Gates, which, in exchange for bonds
and at enormous profit to them
selves, supply the federal treasury
with gold to maintain the policy o
gold monometallism.
Congress alone has power to coli
and issue money, and President Jack
son declared that this power could
not be delegated to corporations o.
individuals.
We, therefore denounce the issu
ance of notes intended to circulate al
money by national banks as in dero
cation of the constitution, and w
demand that all paper which is mad
a legal tender for public and privat
debts. or which is receivable TO
duties to the United States, shall b
issued by the government of tn
United States, and shall be redeem
able in coin.
