~ Will oo very 8ratiiyihg W ING oiu
Republican friends Of the veteran
newspaper man. v. P. Wilson, that
bis paper the Woodland Park (Colo.)
Gazette is for Mckinley and protec-
ton. The free silver craze has not
turned the heads Of all Coloradoans
as the following article from MIR.
Wilson's pen testifes:
With the exception Of a portion Of
one plank in the St. Louis platform it
is soundly American to the core.
That part Of the financial plank which
favors continuance Of the gold
standard, until bimetallism is adopt
ed by international agreement, the
Gazette cannot endorse, but it will
support the remainder Of the platform,
and the candidates. will hundreds
Of thousands Of true silver Republic
cans. Nothing can be gained by plac-
ing the reins Of government into the
hands Of an irresponsible and incap-
able "combine, composed Of the odds
and ends Of all parties and factions.
With the one exception named the
platform is all that the 0American
people Of all parties ought to desire
and the candidate is all right; his
sympathies and bis record are on the
side Of the people, the masses, he is
pre-eminently their choice = they
forced his nomination in opposi-
ton to the wishes Of Wall street and
free trade old England.
While the gold plank does not meet
the views Of all Republicans, they
realize that silver alone has not caused
the dire prostration Of every industrial
and commercial pursuit in this coun-
try. From the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean not city, town or hamlet has
escaped the whitening blight. The
farmers, the laboring men in every
industrial pursuit all suffer. A like
condition Of paralysis, PROSTATE labor
and business, sacrificed fortunes and
homes, was never before forced upon
the people Of the United States. Sill
yer has not been the most potent
cause of this calamitous condition.
The repeal of the Republican tariff
duties on foreign imports, the open
ing Of our home markets to the free
or almost free entry Of foreign pro-
is the most blighting
cause Of our terrible condition

HIS COMPANIONS IN THE CRIME ALREADY CON
vIcTED AND AWAITING SENTENCE.
Judge Asphalt was occupied with the trial Of
James Block, a young with overhangin2
brow and unshaven face, on an indictment cnarg-
ing him with burglary In the first degree as sec
ond offence in the County Court yesterday. Block S
case is an unusual He placed on trial last
month indictment charging him with burglary
in the third degree. At the trial it developed that
he had previously convicted Of petit larceny in
NewYork and that tho alleged burglary had been
committed In the night time Judge Hurd before
whom the case was begun. stopped the trial and re-
manded the defendant TO jail. He told the District
Attorney that II the defendant was guilty OF any
thing at all it burglary in the first degree and
larceny in -ome degree. and that as he had been
convicted before he should have been indicted as
second offence. Judge Hurd directed the resuD-
mission of the a succeeding Grand Jury. and
the result was the indictment which Block
yesterday placed on trial.
The charge against the defendant is that on the
night OF April IS, In company with Morris Kosko-
WITT and Fred Reiner. he broke into the store and
house OF William Rosenberg, at No. 81 Mcktbbn-
St. and succeeded in stealing a gold watch and
chain worth S35 and 3l4 so In cash. Koskowtz. who
is old man with long. flowing beard. pleaded
guilty 10 burglary and grand larceny each in first
degrees a few days ago. and then withdrew his
plea and changed 1t to guilty. Yesterday he
arragned again. and pleaded guilty TO burglary in
the second degree. Reiner was also arraigned, and
made a similar plea. He was the principal witness
for the prosecution az the trial OF Block He testl-
fled that ne usually called the Kid and that
with the other defendants he was In saloon
owned by a man named Greenberg the night OF
the burglary. The witness had previously been in
formed by girl whom he met al a ball that there
was $500 IN bureau In barber shop at No. 10
Moore-st. He told his companions Of this fact, and
they agreed to try get the money. They went
TO the shop and broke in but could not find the
money and took razors instead. Then Block
proposed that they what they could get in
Rosenbergs candy store In McKibbin-st. They OBJ
tained entrance through rear window, and were
about to decamp with their plumber when Rosen
berg awoke cried out for the police and they were
captured as they were leaving the front door.
KoskowitZ and Reiner also indicted for the
NIoore-st. burglary and pleaded guilty TO burglary
in the third degree. They are now awaiting SEN
tence. Block claims that he was not guilty OF any
OF the crimes charged against him. and that the
whole story is cooked UP because OF the unfriendi
ness OF the other defendants. The trial Will be
continued to-day.
