TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND BOND
ISSUES.


bonds. This is mere pretense. It is
sheer hypocrisy. Not q Republican in
public Life, not Q Republican news
paper of considerable influence, not q
Republican gathering Of any kind at
any place at any time, has denounced
these bond transactions ss usurpationa
of power by the Executive Depart
ment aud without authority Of law.
immediately on the publication Of
the first proposition to sell bonds Jan
usry, 1884, the attention Of the coun-
try was called to the subject by the
Populist Senator from Kansas In 9 res
olution declaring the proceeding to be
without lawful warrant. The resoiu-
tion was buried In the Finance COM
mittee. A bill was introduced by the
same Senator to prohibit further bond
issues, and it was smOthered In the
same committee. Senator Buffers
bill to prohibit bond sales without ex-
press authority Of Congress was finally
allowed to pass the Senate but was re-
ported adversely in the House and will
never be got before that body for final
action until the political complexion
of the members is changed.
Indeed, men like John Sherman, and
all the leading men among Republi-
cans, openly declared that, under tho
circumstances, bonds were the only
remedy for an embarrassing condition
of the treasury. And now, as the
campaign progresses, the only criti-
Cism Of the bond business offered by
Republicans is, that Democrat sd-
~ministrstion reduced the revenues be-
low safe line and that the deficit
could be supplied in no other way than
by borrowing gold on our bonds. They
do not denounCe the bond sales as un-
lawful; but, they say, IL revenue sufi-
cient had been provided, there would
have been no need Of borrowing money.
In other words, the mistake is found
In not retaining the Mckinley law In
force. The argument is presented
that a return to high tariff taxes is the
only remedy for the evils Of the pres.
ent situation, and that there is no way
of escape from borrowing gold until
our customs laws are changed accord.
ingly.
The truth Is, that the revenues were
falling off under the operation of the
Mckinley law. That act was passed
in order to reduce the revenues. Its
title so asserts-"An act to reduce the
revenues" etc. And Senator Sherm an,
before the Harrison administration
passed out Of power, proposed so
millions bond sale amendment to an
appropriation bill, and Secretary Fos-
ter began preparations to issue the
bonds.

are only worth So cents in London, ex-
Senator N. p. Hill, the millionaire editor
Of the Denver Republican, says: "The
Republican will pay 90 cents apiece for a
million silver dollars coined by the United
States mint and delivered TO our agent in
London at any time within thirty days

GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Palmer and Buckner Nominated and q Plat
form Adopted.

The National Democrat" (gold) con-
vention assembled at Indianapolis Sep
tember 2. 1t was called to order by
Senator Palmer of Illinois, Chairman Of
the Provisional committee. He said
that this was the first Democrat Conven-
ton held this year.
Ex-Governor Flower Of New York was
elected temporary Chairman. His
speech was q radical one. He said this
gathering is notice to the world that the
Democrat party has not yet surrendered
to Populism. awe are here" he said,
"because we love the Democratic party,
and because we love our country" He
told the old gold standard story Of how
the country would be ruined by silver
coinage, and said: against such threat
ened cslamities we have met as Demo
Gratis, as patriots, to protest"
Every mention Of Cleveland's name
was cheered. He characterized Bryan
as ambitious, unsteady and unsafe" ," as
"a demagogue and a word iuggler," and
this was cheered.
The committees were named and the
convention took recess.
At the second session the Credentials
committee reported 924 delegates, repre-
i
senting forty-one States and three Terri
tories. The Committee on Organization
recommended Senator CsfFsry Of Louis
lana for permanent Chairman. When
he was introduced, the Senator made
another long gold speech, at the conclu.
sion Of which an adjournment was taken
until the next morning. The platform
was then adopted, and is given at the
end OF this report.
When nominations were reached, the
names OF Senator John NJ. Palmer OF
Illinois and General Bragg OF WisOon-
sin were presented. In seconding the
nomination Of Palmer, Moran of Chicago
said they had recognized from the first
that Senator Palmer was the man to
lead the fight. He was, he said, plat
form in himself. All his life he. had
fought faLism, greenbackism, free silver
and other vagaries. But he had sealed
their lips. After seeing the temper Of
the convention, however, he said Illinois
was compelled to join hands with her
sister States in urging his nomination.
The names Of Senator Villas, henry
Watterson and President Cleveland and
half dozen others were considered, but
before being placed in nomination, they
all declined to accept.
Only one ballot was taken, and it re-
suited Palmer 75715, Bragg 1241s.
On motion of Bragg the nomination was
made unanimous. Then Gen. Simon
Bolivar Buckner Of Kentucky was NOM
mated for Vice President by AcClams-
ton. The convention then adjourned.

long. The greatest damage was in the Sacramento valley, west of sKingman, where force of several hundred la borers, directed by Superintendent John Denar, is now busied. The time for the clearing of the track is variously set for any time under 8 week, but it is generally believed that trains will be sent through Saturday night, if there be no further rains. At present Kingman and the points be- tween Ash Fork and the Colorado are being reached through local train leaving Williams every afternoon and returning the next morning.
 One of the most important mining deals ever known in the southwest is now materializing in the White Hills camp of Mohave county. R. T. Root, the manager, who is supposed to be a representative of the Dave Moffatt syndicate of Denver, is buying up all the valuable claims of the district. Several camps have been formed by him for the handling of the properties. It is the belief of all interests that within @ few months hundreds of men will be employed and that the camp will rise to a front rank in Arizona as a bullion producer.

T1o Leg--No WaIk--No
 Drink.
Brilliant Scheme of an lnven-
 tive Woman.
When He Insisted on GoinR Out for More Liquor She Unstrapped
 Ills Leg and Sobered Him.

The Boston Post says: Mrs. Camp bell of 240 North street deserves to go down tnto history with Barbara FTitchie and other noted women, be- cause no latter than yesterday she gave the most signal proof that she is a woman fruitful in expedients and bril- liant in resources when confronted by a dire emergency.
 Her inventive genius in devising solution of what threatened to be a very perplexing problem deserves to be given the widest publicity for the benefit of other poor downtrodden wo- men who may some day be placed in the same predicament.
 Now Mrs. Campbell happens to have a brother-tn-law. His name is James Campbell, and it further happens that James has a wooden leg. To be ab- solutely truthful, he has two wooden legs, and this fact contributed in no small degree to the brilliant success of hds sister-in-law's device
 But though James would seem to be fearfully handicapped when it came to question of locomotion, his neigh bors say he can travel quite fast' at times, and they say he gains i'm measurably in speed whenever he hap pens to be imbibing spirituous liquors. It appears that yesterday James had l been drinking rather freely, and he | moved around on his wooden legs so lively that even his neighbors were as- | tonished.
 Finally he came to the conclusion ! that he needed a little more drink and he announced his intention of startine out forthwith to find some. It was then that he found himself brought LID sharply against the wall of his sister in-law's will power and inventive fac ult1es. She calmly told him that he could have no more drink as he had already had more than was good for him.
 James persisted in his determination to go out for drink and then Mrs Campbell got into action. She did not stoop to the commonplace method Of throwing him down and giving him a beating, as some women might have
 done. She did not resort to the old fash1oned device of locking up his clothes in the closet, nor did she think Of barring up the doors and windows. Instead of anything of the kind she quietly called dn @ neighbor and com
 bining their forces they quietly got
 James down on the floor. Then they
 unstrapped one of his legs and left
 him alone to ponder over the situa-
 tion.
 T don't know whether it was his
 right or his left one,' said Mrs. Camp
 bell to The Post reporter. T know this, however, it kept him in the house
 untdl he had time to get sober, and
 that is why took off his leg.'' True enough, it did not matter much
 in this case whether it. was his right leg or his left leg, and as there may be several other women who may have , husband or brother-in-law with one
 or more wooden legs, the plan devised |, by Mrs Campbell is worthy Of the
 greatest publicity.

COWBOY R1cEs.
Make More Trouble in Cripple Creek
 J. R. Gets Injured.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Sept. g. The cowboy preacher, J. K. Rice, and his wife. since their trouble with the police de partment of the town, have re. mained in camp preaching on the streets at all hours any kind of gospel they thought would suit the crowd. They have been in hard financial lines, and the public mas been slowly to respond to their appeals for assistance. The preacher has varied his topics from what he calls religious subjects to phrenology, but of late has entered upon abuse of the camp and the peo- pie, saying that the mines were worth less, the town bankrupt and the citi- zens a lot of bunco steerers laying for eastern suckers.
 Up to tonight the crowds on Bennett avenue have treated his abuse as not worth needing, but tonight forbearance ceased, and while the cowboy was talk ing in his usual style some one in the crowd, with lesa discretion than con- tempt for the man. aimed an egg at the speakers eye and struck center. At once the cowboy preacher showed fight and struck out for the man nearest him. Some other man in the crowd re' taliated and hit him blow under the eye that started the blood. The sym. pathy was all against the preacher, and there was talk of cutting his hair and
 riding him out of town, but he was al
 lowed to go home without any further disturbance.
 He had announced that himself ant
 wife would leave Cripple Creek nex
 Monday, and their departure will no

CADETS MoBBED.
Iowa oHodlums Attack Young Soldiers
 From Council Bluffs.

OMAHA, Sept. The Council Bluffs High school cadets returned from Oak land Ia. today. where they attended the reunion ot the Pottowattamls vet erans' association, and had an animated experience with mob. Great crowds of delighted visitors to Oakland for three days viewed the drills. The cadets won distinguished consideration and about all the honors they could carry away. They received a warning that a mob had been organized to tear their tents down. smash up their accontre- msnts and company property and run them out of camp, supposed to be the plan of rival militia organizations. There were 38 members of the company present and they prepared to defend | themselves and the state's property in their possession.
 A few minutes before 3 o'clock this
 morning the mob appeared, 200 strong, armed with all kinds of weapons. The 1 cadets had thrown out double guard | line. which met the hoodlums with their
 gupr. The cadets d1d not have their bayonets or they wonld have used them
 with good effect. Lieut.. Charles Sayles
 met the leader of the gang and warned
 him away. The warning had the effect
 of attracting the attention of the leader
 to She young officer and he was prompt lv attacked and knocked down. The ca dets clubbed their guns and sueked to the rescue. The leader of the mob was
 roughl, a&1t..S5 .-- t.--.o nlaieS ,,ll;.1s .ol- lowed and several of the cadets received | bruises and black eyes that rendered
 that member temporarily useless. The
 assault of the mob was becoming so az.

YELLOW FEVER.
The Old Kills Those Who Have It
 The New Kill Others.

KENYON, O., Sept. 3.-Mr. Bryan said in his speech at Bellefontaine that the crowd seemed to be afflicted with yellow fever. Fully half of the people there wore big yellow labels inscribed Mckinley Club" Men and women bore them and waved them in front of the Democratic candidate. There were plenty of Bryan shouters in the crowd, however, and these cheered while the brass band they had engaged played frantically in his honor.
 Bryan spoke as follows: 'Our op- ponents started but by saying that they were as good friends of bimetal- lism as we, but we have driven them to the open advocacy of the gold stand ard, so that whenever we come into a town where there are Mckinley men they have the name printed, not upon a white and yellow paper, but on yell low paper. (Great applause) We find that there is evidence of what is known as yellow fever It differs from the old in that old yellow fever killed men who had it, while new yellow fever kills people who do not have fever Applause and cheers.)
 We are all glad to see courage any where, and when find man who be- lieves this Nation is not great enough to govern itself and must appeal tt foreign nations for aid, I am glad te have him put it on his hat Great ap- plause) I am glad that in this cam paign people who are supporting the Chicago platform do not get down or their knees and appeal to kings ant princes to legislate for the American people,"
