SMITH is FOR SOUND MONEY.
New Jerseys Senator VIII Not Serve
PopOcrattc Chairman.


LONG BRANCH. N. j., Sept. 1S-United
States Senator James Smith jr, of New
Jersey, chairman of the State Democratic
committee, gave out to-day the following
statement regarding the Chicago platform
and ticket
The lines upon which the present politi-
cal campaign is being conducted and the
Interpretation Of the Chicago platform by
the New Jersey Democratic convention
held to select electors are in opposition to
to speak on financial questions in the Sen
ate. My desire has been to find a way to
harmonize these views with the platform
declaration and TO harmonic my individual
opinion with the expression of the party
counsels. With these objects in mind
have given the questions at issue careful
consideration. The result is | find my
mind adhering to the course / took in the
Senate as the only one consistent with a
sound financial policy.
This conclusion being fixed, it necessar-
lily follows that should not participate in
the direction of the compaign as member of
either the national or State committee
Justice to the candidates demands that
their cause be in the hands of those who
are without doubt as to the correctness OF
the policy proposed by every plank in the
platform. / have. therefore, decided to re-
sign from any leading position in the
political management of the campaign. In
doing this, i am governed by sense of
my personal views against the expressed
policy of my party. But, as a Democrat
Obedient to party. / must and do bow to
the will Of the majority and unhesitating-
ly express my belief that the people may
safely trust a Democratic President and
Congress for whatever legislation may
prove necessary for the welfare of the
country JAMES SMITH Jr."

MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
Arnold FIesch Shot While Abed-ikis
Son Under Arrest.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-Arnold Flesch, of
the cloak manufacturing firm of Bernard,
Pasternak & Co., is in the hospital with
three pistol shot wounds and his son, Will
liam B. Flesch, is in custody on suspicion
of having attempted to take his fathers
life. The shooting occurred in the apart
ments of the elder Flesch in the Hotel
ing died three years ago. The son, who
was a frequent visitor, went to his fathers
rooms about midnight and at O'Clock four
pistol shots We're heard, fired in the Flesch
apartments in quick succession. When the
room was entered the elder Flesch was
found seemingly dazed by his wounds and
only able to say to those who questioned
him, 4 guess it is about family troubles"
One pistol ball had entered his breast near
wrist ana the third had passed through the
left forearm. At first it was thought that
FleSch had attempted suicide but the eX-
istence of the wounds in the right wrist
and the left arm upset that theory. Then
it was learned that the son had been spend
ing the night with the wounded man, and
this led TO the young mans arrest.
After being taken to the hospital Arnold
F1esch said he was lying on the bed with
his arms folded across his breast, looking
at the ceiling, when some one stood over
him and without warning began to shoot
him. He said he did not know who it was
that fired the shots. Young FleSch when
arraigned in the Harlem Police Court Sid
he knew nothing about the shooting of MS
father further than that he had been
bleeding from three bullet wounds He was

Is Opposed to Bryan.

PlTTSBURG, Sept. 1S.-The Washington
correspondent of the Dispatch says Sen
ator David B. Hill intends soon TO an
rounce that he will support Bryan and
Sewall. This is authoritative. 1t is vouched
for by no less q person than the Senator
himself. He has written to friends here
that, after long consideration of what his
course as a Democrat ought sbe. he has
concluded that, bad as the Chicago plat
form is, and unacceptable as the ticket is
in many respects, it is his duty to accept
the decision Of the national convention and
support its candidates.
The Senator wishes it distinctly under
stood that he is neither a silver monomet-
aliist nor a gold monometallist, but a
simon-pure bimetallist. He says there is
no choice, so far as monometallis,n is con-
cerned, between the Chicago platform and
the one adopted at Indianapolis. The for
mer practically advocates Il silver standa re
while the latter, for the first time in the
history of any convention calling itself
Democratic, comes out fatfooted for the
use of gold alone. The Senator intima ties
that he was very much disappointed by
this action at Indianapolis.

Reagan spoke in the Riley schoolhouse

in the house. the action of the director in
discriminating against the Republicans was
Indignantly resented. No argument, how
ever, could persuade the director to recede
from his decision. A large crowd had in
the meantime assembled, and in order not

Mr.. Watson showed conclusively that the

trouble is to get the money. What we need
is a restora ton of the Mckinley law and
the policy of reciprocity inaugurated by
James G. Blaine. Under this policy the
farmers of this country were given mar
ket in Brazil and cuba for many thousand

ans worth as man and defends his own
Democracy but says: Il cannot avoid the
conclusion that with all of Mr. Bryan's
strength of character and ability he would
if elected be dominated by the objection

of the one promulgated by the Populists at
