Mr.. Julio M. Foster, Chilean Commits

free silver.

odd years of my life and can bear testi

The Murderer Of F. d. Cornell.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says
1.-THE name of the assassin of Mr.. F.
d. Cornell, of Portsmouth, Ohio, who
was mortally shot on sleeping car
near Basic City in 1891. has, it Is assert
ed, just come to light. Interest in this
case was recently revived by decision
in the Supreme Court of Appeals as to
the claims OF the murdered mans
executors against the Chesapeake and
Ohio for damages. Jack Prince, a
negro man, who was sent to the peni
Tertiary for shooting a conductor on
the Norfolk and Western in 1894
brought the matter to light. Prince
died in prison in October of that year.
Before his death Prince. it is claimed
confessed to fellow convict that he
knew the name of the murderer of
Cornell. He gave the name of a negro
who was then serving a time in the
prison, but who is now at liberty.
whom he declared did the shooting
Prince, though, admitted that he was
an accomplish and secured half of
Connell's money. The assassination
was one of the most adroitly planned
and executed ever known here. But
for the negro's confession the author
ties would never have had a clue to
the murderers."
Having paid particular attention to
this singular and unaccountable MUIR
der we are surprised to hear for the first
time that Cornell lost any money and
take no stock in this convict's story.
Connell lived some time after he was
shot and we never heard OF his being
robbed.-SPEcTAToR.

The Primary.


The contest was principally over the
office of Commemorative Attorney for
the city, a number of Republicans and
Prohibitionists voting for their choice
among the several candidates for that
office, with the understanding that
they were bound by the primary that

That Prohibitionists shodld vote in

when no question of prohibition is di
rectly involved are the soundest of
democrats, but that republican
should vote in such an election or at
tempt to vote, indicates a depth of
moral degradation we little thought
humanity capable of.
A Democratic Prohibitionist is easily
understood, but if any body ever saw
a Republican-Democrat, that person
has likely seen ink poured into water

when the Republicans hold primary

Chauncey M. Depew on the Organiza-
tion OF a Free Silver Party.

In recent interview Chauncey M.
Depew, who had just returned from
California said -
l spoke at the Union League Club
in San Francisco and was glad to find
that the majority of the audience
agreed with my views on sound money.
1 said that would offer positive proof
that was not candidate for the
Presidency by declaring that had an
opinion and was going to express it.
That opinion was that any party ad
vocating free silver would never be
able to legislate it and that no Presi
Dental candidate having such views
would ever be permitted to put them
in practice. | said that the country
had assumed such Importance that it
could only afford to have the best
money il the world.
There are two things which will
prevent the organization of II free sill
yer party. One of these is that the
production of gold has enormously 10
creased, particularly in California and
Utah. Gold ore yielding as low as 50
ton can now be worked at a profit by
the new cyanide process, whereas sill
yer ore must show $24 ton before it
can be. worked. This naturally at
tracts any activities to the prodnc-
ton of gold.
81 know of one gold mine which was
originally sold for $15 600 to be bought
for $3.50, 900 by its present owner. who,
after failing to sell it in New Yosk for
81, 600 900, now finds that he has $14.
600 900 of gold in sight. This is near
Salt Lake City, and that reminds me
that Utah is toe most prosperous of
any of the new States Her mines are
productive and the Mormon farmers
are wise enough to be content to get
good iivings out of comparatively
small farms.
1.-The second and most important in
fiuence that forbids the existence of a
free silver party is the fact that there
is a craze for protection in the West
People fear that the defeat of the re
publicon party will involve the de
struction of protection, which they re
gard as far more important to their in
terests than free silver California
wants protection for her dried fruits
against Europe. and if she gets it she
will be able to supply the world"
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1896-04-22

No matter how much divided the
democrats of She country may be on
the silver question, they, as they should
be. and as the founder of their party,
Thomas Jefferson, was, are solid in
their opposition to the A. P. AS and
to the latter's attempt to ostraciss and
prescribe citizens of the country on ac
count OF their nativity and religious
Opinions. Fortunately for the South,
such associations find the climate here
uncongenial to them. This section has
always been the home of political and
religious liberty.
