of the rest of the world thousands of mill lions of dollars.
 Now just as soon as the election is over and the future position of the United States is assured, both as to money and to the employment of our people, capital is ready to come to us from abroad and from our own people, and we shall again be prosperous.
 We have been through all this once before The greenbackers of 1878 were not bad men. They were sincere, and had a better case than the silver men of today. We must have artificial imitation and cheaper money they said, or blackest ruin awaited us. Prices were low and work was scarce; taxes were high and debts hard to pay, but we persevered and resumed specie payments.
 From that moment the capital of the world was at our disposal. We had good tariff which made us do all our own work, and from 1879 to 1893 fourteen years of prosperity, which placed the United States in great position in the world.
 If we do the like thing today, like things will follow. With revenues equal to our emergencies, undue export of gold VIII cease. With the certainty that the dol- lar paid will be equal to the dollar lent will come credit and confidence. With that certainty that we are to do all our own work will come the earning of wages steadily increasing, which is the bass of that prosperity which is alone worthy of this great ma ton, the prosperity or the whole people.

OSCAR HUNDLfY IN TOWN
Non-CommittaI Replies to Leading Questions Would Not Say Whether He Is to Vote
 for Goodwyd or Johnston.

Hon. oscar R. Hundley of Huntsville was in the city last night. He was seen by State Herald reporter at the Nor ris hotel.
 ''Mr. Hundley," began the reporter, it is rumored that you are in the city for the purpose of consulting the chairman of the democratic executive committee relative to rendering your resignation as state senator"
 "There is not word of truth in the rumor," answered MT. Hundley, and why should r" -I.r ae
 'I suppose" answered the reporter, "that the rumor is based on your de- claring' for Mckinley for president and that you would not care to continue to hold an office to which you were elected by democrats"
 T do not care to discuss politics. l came down here on purely professional business. A client wished me to meet him here. Knowing politics was at fever heat did not want to come and would not have come could it have been avoid- ed,"
 You would not mind saying whether or not you will resign the senatorship?'
 "As 1 said, I do not care to discuss pol itics. My letter, published in the Chat  all I care to say at this time"
 May 1 ask how you stand as between Goodwin and Johnston for governor?"
 ''I do not care to talk for publica tion. I do not want what I might say to be miscopstrued. My friends know how I will vote. I will vote an open ticket, so all can see.'
 "It is reported that you will be a cam didate for congress against General Wheeler"

 twill you go on the stump for Me Kinley?"
 1, q don't know what I shall do. My friends generally press me into service. "
 Just prior to the above interview MT. Hundley was in close conversation with Candidates Goodwin and Bingham and Chairman Vaughan of the republican state. executive committee. He was also closeted in his room with MT. Goodwin for some time last night, and the pops and republicans were giving him royal welcome on all sides. ! MT Hundley appeared embarrassed by the presence of his old political associ- ates, and one could almost hear his sigh of relief when he and Goodwin quit the rotunda of the hotel and together struck the elevator in search of more private quarters and to avoid the gaze of the bystanders, many of whom had knowr and appreciated the public life of the young man. They could only wonder a his sudden conversion from democra1 to a republican and conjecture the cause

 "The report,'' said MT. St. John, "is en- tirely without warrant and evinces the desperation of the great monopoly, the Southern railway, who are undoubtedly at the bottom of it. The majority of the holders of the Seaboard securities are unanimous in their determination not to be held up and are in favor of the pol icy being pursued by it's president, vice president and other officials to defend it's interests, protect the people in their eff forts to secure and maintain a compett- tion against a monopoly, the Southern railway, which is desirous of obtaining control of all railroads in the south, and it may be relied upon that the peoples interests will be defended to the last.

STRANGER AND DISAPPEAR.

Spme Expcrienpp,

Some Experience.
One of the passengers who left last even
ing for Webster, Ia, was |. S. Surfing, a
farmer of Oxford, Neb. Surfing first took
a train for Sioux City, enroute to Webster
City, as he entertains a faint hope that he
nay be able to find a liveryman in that place
whose acouaintance Surfing is DESTROYS of
further cultiyating. While waiting at the
union depot he related his experiences of
city life to a crowd of sympathizers, but was
unable to give the name of the man he is
seeking. The reason for Surling's anxiety
is a purse containing $35, the loss of which
he is mourning.
Surfing and a tall man wearing a light
gray suit and possessing affable, insinuating
manners, came in on the Lincoln train
Wednesday. He and Surfing had conversed
of pigs. wheat and free silver all the way
from Lincoln and the stranger had conided
to his newly discovered friend that he was
a wealthy liveryman Of Sioux City, la. AS
the two strolled up and down the platform,
admiring the beauty of the architecture of
the Mason street depot and looking for a
sign which would indicate the name of the
station, the stranger proposed a walk up the
adjoining hill to the south. Surfing noticed
two strangers just in advance, but thought
nothing of it, his attention being wholly
wrapt up in the engaging address of his
loquacious companion. Reaching Pierce
street the stranger stopped and picked up a
handsome dog collar with a patent lock
attachment. which the strangers in advance
had evidently dropped. Surling's companion
offered to bet any money that Surfing could
not unlock the attachment. II will go you
So" said Surfing and straightway pulled out
a purse, containing his cash, to make good
the bet. The affable stranger grabbed the
purse and ran.
police" shouted the oxford farmer. as he
saw his cash disappear at a rapid rate down
the street. The strangers ran to his assist
ance. One wore a blue blouse, blue hat and
blue pants. One of them demanded the
cause of the disturbance and explained that
he was an officer. Surfing neglected to look
for q star and brass buttons, but unfolded
his grief, The policeman then laid a plan
for the mans quick capture; Surfing and the
other stranger were to run down Tenth
street, while he would follow the fast dis
appearing stranger and purse in their course
down Pierce street. Some hours later Surl-
ing appeared at the police station, where his
troubles were privately confded to the de-
]tectives. The detectives spent the greater
part of the night looking for the three in
dividuals, but as nothing could be ascer-
tanned regarding their whereabouts, Surfing
left on the afternoon train, a sadder but a
wiser man.
When Surfing reached Council Bluffs he
found that the detectives there had already
captured one of the men. About $3.50 three
more were captured by detectives in Omaha.
Surfing returned to Omaha to appear against
the men who give their names as James
Williams, f. J. Stone, John Morgan and
Charles Wharton, All are arrested as sus-
picious characters.

FAVORABLE RI THE SEVENTH WARD
C~nnVnssers' Find Voters Coming the
Republican Way.

The room at 1914 Park avenue, used as
the headquarters of the Seventh Ward Re
publican club. was well filled when Vice
President John Steel called the weekly meet
ing to order last night. The first bust
ness was the accepting of the resignation
of II. II. Baldrige as commander of the
club. Mr.. Baldrige said in explanation that
the great press of political duties outside
the, ward made it imperative that a less
hampered man be given the position. Cap
tain Palmer, with a few complimentary
words. placed C. L. Chaffee in nomination
and his election was made unanimous. Sew
eral captains and lieutenants then gave
hints of what the canvass of their precincts
had brought out, all showing a great ma
iority of the voters had decided that their
votes should be cast for Mckinley.
The first speaker of the evening was
j. A. Powers, who talked clearly on politi-
cal issues, followed by J. T. H. Woods, a
colored man. Mr.. Woods kept the crowd
interested for half an hour with cxpositions
of the money question, interspersed with
apt smiles and pointed stories.
After the speaking a short business ses-
sion of club members was held to arrange
for the part the club would take in the
Tuesday night parade.
