rh. Cause VIII Triumph.

LINCOLN (Neb.), Nov. g. Hon. w
J. Bry,n today gave ont the follow
ing:
ITO Bimetallists of the United
States: Conscious that millions of
loyal hearts are saddeued by a tenn
porary defeat, beg to offer Il word Of
hope and encouragement. No cause
ever had supporters u:ore brave,
earnest and devoted than those who
have espnused the cause OF bimetal-
ism. They have fought from convic.
ton, and have fought with all the
zeal which conviction inspires. events
will prove whether they are right or
wrong. Having done their duty as
they saw it, they have nothing to re-
greet. The Republican candidate has
been heraldad rs the advance agent of
prosperity. If his policies bring real
prosperity to the American people,
those who opposed him will share in
that prosperity. If, on the other
hand, his policies prove m injury to
the people generally, those supporters
who do not belong to the office-hold-
ing class OF to the privileged class will
suffer III common with those who op-
posed him. Tho friends of bimetal-
ism have not been "anquished; they
have simply been overcome. They
believe the gold standard is a con-
spiracy OF money changers against
the human race.
"rhe contest this year has been
waged under great crnbarrassments
and against great od,is. The Repub-
ican convention held out the delusive
hope Of international bimetallism,
while Republican leaders labored
secretly for gold mono-metallism; the
gold standard Democrats publicly adj
vocated the election of the Indianap-
oils ticket, while they laborcd secret
ly for the election of the Republican
ticket. But in spite of the efforts of
the administration and its supporters;
In spite Of the threats OF money lend
era at home and abroad; N spite OF
the coercion practiced by corporation
employers, and in spite of trusts and
syndicates; in spite Of the enormous
Republican campaign fund, and in
spite of the daily press, bimetallism
has almost triumpbed in it's first great
fight. The loss of few States, and
that. too. by very small plurality,
has defeated binetallism for the pres
ent, but bimetallism energies from
the contest stronger than it was four
months ago."
Bryan goes on at some length and
concludes as follows:
"Tho year 1900 is not far away. |
Before that year arrives international
bimetallism will cease to deceive; be.
fore that year arrives, those who have
called themselves gold standard Dem.
ocrats will become bimetalIists or Re
publicans; before that year arrives,
trusts Will have convinced still more
people that trusts are a menace to
private welfare aud public safety; be-
fore that year arrives, the evils Of tho
gold standard will be even more evi.
dent than they are now, and the peo-
pie win be ready to demand an Amer
loan financial policy for the American |
people, and will join with us in tho
Immediate restoration Of the fraa md /
unlimited coinage of gold and silver |
at the present ratio Of Is to /. without |
the aid or consent Of any nation.

premacy at Chicago is not known. 1t
is probable that he does not know. 1t
depends altogether upon when Mr..

exceeds the amount paid ont in gold
coins and gold certificates, and in no
instance has the least discrimination
been made against silver or its paper
representative. In no instance has
silver or silver certificates been re-
fused in payment of a debt or demand
due the government, and in no in
stance has the government refused to
pay silver coins or silver certificates
in discharge of its obligations when
the holders of the obligations demand
ed or requested such payment. When
United States notes or treasury notes
are presented for redemption, gold is
paid if it is demanded, and if silver is
demanded, silver is paid. Thus the
coins of the two metals are treated
exactly alike in making payments by
the government, as well as in the
discharge of debts due to the govern
ment.

each side became desperate. Stormy
sessions were held and more than
once violence seemed imminent.
Thursday special policemen were sta
toned in the capitol to preserve order.
Governor Bradley's personal interest
in preserving peace has antagonized
several members of the legislature and
has added another feature to the
struggle. Nearly fifty ballots have
been taken and it has been shown
clearly that unless some of the weaker
adherents of either candidate give
way an election is impossible. Real
izing this, every effort is being made
to induce someone to bolt. Populist
Poor is the special object of solicita-
ton by the Republicans, but he has
thus far withstood nearly two weeks
of daily working.

CINCINNATI, o., March IA Com
mercial Gazette special from Frankfort,
KY, says: The free silver campaign
was opened by the Blackburn people
in the opera house tonight. Senator
Blackburn made a vigorous speech,
asserting that the failure to elect a
Senator was a remarkable victory for
free silver.
Senator Bronston denounced Gov.
Bradley, St. John Boyle, Attorney
General Taylor and Colonel Lew Tarl-
ton. Jack Chinn, II of the orators
of the evening, declared that it was
better for the State to spend $4,000
for militia than to have to pull the
sheet from some of the members and
say: "Don't they look n%atural?"

ENOCH ARDEN IN MISSOURI.
Geo. Hatfield Found His Wife Again
Married and Happy, and Left
Her Undisturbed.

SEDALIA, Mo, March l5.-Fifteen
years ago a man was run over by a
Missouri Pacific train about two miles
west of this city, the body being cut
into many pieces and strewn for a
number of yards along the track. The
remains were picked up, placed in q
dry goods box and brought to Sedalia.
The dead man, after being patched up
by the undertaken, was identified as
George Fl. Hatfield, of this city, and
buried.
Seven years ago the wife of Hatfield
married w. FL. Barnhart, who is now
a prosperous coal dealer of this city.
To-day Geo. III. Hatfield arrived here
from California, where he had been
for the last Is years engaged in fruit
farming. He had never written home
but has prospered as a fruit grower
and has grown wealthy. When he
learned that his wife had re-married,
like Euoch Arden, he viewed heI
home from across the street and, see
ing that she was happy and comforta-
bly, situated, he left her undisturbed,
and departed this afternoon for SYRIA

brother, Charles Hatfield, who resides
in this city.

A HAPPY FACT.

Did you ever observe how prone the
human family is to think what is theirs
is just a little better than that pos-
sessed by other people? Farmer Jones
knows that his hogs are much superior
to farmer Smiths. Old man Easley
has the finest mule colt in the neigh
borhood. Martins Plymouth Rock
chickens are much better in his esti-
nation than Mr.. S~appington's Ian
shangs. Dick Lawson, as he passes
down the road, is happy, very happy,
with the thought that his corn grows
faster than any corn he has seen. Net
tie knows her doll is the prettiest,
sweetest doll. Johns pa gave him a
pig. 1t was a common enough pig be-
fore, but ownership has magnlfied
the pig till it is the greatest he ever
saw. A happy fact, certainly, that
everybody is satisfied with himself
and his own. Now, if that is SO o
should not censure us for saying We
have tho best of everything. Buy

FRANKFORT, KY, March 1.-THE
Legislature adjourned without elect

The Kentucky senatorial farce is

not meet again until January, 1898. 1t
may be that Kentucky will have only
one United States Senator for one
year.
The Governor car call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature, but Bradley
has stated that he will not do this.
In the Fifty-Third Congress the Sen
ators were appointed by the Govern

BRADLEY ON THE RACK.

DhADlCt Wv liz NAN
FRANKFORT, KY, March 16.-The
remarkable events of the morning
were followed by the equally sensa-
tional trial of the Governor OF the
Commonwealth before the Senate In
vestigating Committee. 1t was vir-
tually a trial, and Governor Bradley
maintained that it was n without
giving him a hearing, since the reso-
luton under which it was held con-
demned him in advance. This was a
fact, but the committee let it go any
how, and they put the executive on
the spit and roasted him to a turn.
Senators Goebel and Bronston con-
Quoted the cross-examination, and as
they had a good lawyer on the stand
they made it entertaining. Bradley
was not summoned until 1870 o'clock,
the first hour being given to the ex-
animation of such witnesses as Mayor
Julian, Mayor Taylor, Sheriff Arm
strong, Lieut.. Gov. Worthington ano
others. The town officers and citizens
testified that there was NJ appreciable
disorder and no prospect of any that
they could not easily quell at any
time. Sheriff Armstrong said that the
Governor had tried to make hin
promise to put out the Sergeant-at'
Arms deputies, and it was because o,
his refusal to do this that the troops
were called out. His testimony wa:
direct and to the point.
Governor Bradley was on the stanC
two hours, and some lively sparrins
followed. Goebel and Bronston were
merciless in their exposure of his alb
surd fright or senseless partisanisn
in sounding a riot alarm on Sunday
night. The Governor tried hard t
make it appear that ne had goot
grounds for fearing a mob, but he die
not succeed.
The only corroborative testimon,
that he offered "a that of Captain f
G. Gather, who said that he had hear
of a mob and had told the Governor
