THE LYNCHING OF COOKING.

Governor LOwndes, of Maryland, An
swers Some English Inquiries.
London, Sept 25.-The papers pub
lish letter from Governor Lowndes,
of Maryland, to Miss Florence Bal.
garine, honorary secretary of the anti
lynching club, of England, in which
he acknowledges the receipt of letter
from her making inquiries concerning
the lynching Of Joseph Cooking, at La
Plata, Md.
Governor Lowndes explains that the
officials were everpowered, and ADDS:
81 inclose clippings from the Balti-
more American and the Sun giving a
full account of the lamentable affair,
from which it will be seen that the
prisoner, who was in the legal custody
of the sheriff of Charles county, charg-
ed with the murder of his wife and SIS
ter.in-law, was forcibly taken by an
armed body of men and lynched.
81 note with much qualification your
statement that your committee, and in
fact the British public generally, have
always held Maryland in high respect
as particularly law-abiding and law
loving state, and. in order the more
fully to assure you that the confidence
thus expressed has not been misplaced,
I enclose for your information clip
pings from the daily press concerning
the crime, from which you will at
once perceive that the event was great
shock to the community, and has al
ways been commented upon as an un-
justifable departure from the course of
procedure which the law points out
as proper in such cases.
sin this connection it is proper to
say that in addition to the efforts of
the local authorities, and with a view
to putting stop to such gross viola
lions of the law, have offered a re-
ward of 81 900 for information which
will lead to the arrest of the persons
guilty of this crime, copy of which l
also inclose.
I'm conclusion, permit me to assure
your committee that every effort is be-
ing made to discover the guilty parties
in order that they may be brought be-
fore the proper tribunal to answer for
their conduct, which has already been
SO universally condemned by this COM
munity. l am, very respectfully,
Lloyd Lowndes, governor Of Mary.

the robbers threw the box containing
the money under a passenger car,
where it was found by the owners. The

WATCH THE ELECTION OFFICERS.

Voters should trust nothing to the
opposition In the management of the
coming election, Every election
officer should be closely watched. A
scheme which Is frequently worked by
Republican judges is to read RepublI-
can names from a ballot on which Pop.
ulist candidates are checked. It will
be worked this year In every case
where a chance is given. Populist
election officers should watch this and
every other point closely. And this
matter Of watching should not be left to
election officers only. The statute gives
everyCsndidste q right to have not more
than three representatives at every
polling place to witness the receipt and
counting Of tho ballots. This right is
absolute, and representatives who have
written requests from candidates are
warranted In using any force neces-
sary II an attempt is made to prevent
them from being present. These rep
resentatiVes should watch two points
with particular care: See that every
name 10 correctly read from the ballot,
and that the clerks properly credit the
candidates voted for. A fair count
must be obtained. After the count is
completed take the totals for every
candidate. Then II the figures ere
sfterwsrd changed you can testify ss
to the change. A free ballot and q fair
count must be obtained. It rests with
silver men whether it is secured.

AS it Is now, few men have control
of our money and our business. Sur
felted with wealth and power, they
have grown insolent and aspire to uni
verssl dominion. They can now com.
pei the Treasury Department to vio-
late the law as well as rules of bust
ness, and then they sre' permitted to
raid the treasury at will, and the peO-
pie have no redress save in the elec-
tion Of honest and courageous men to
manage their public affairs.
In few days we will have an Op.
pOrtunlty to take the first step in re-
forming these abuses. We all see the
same situation, and we all know it is
unsatisfactory. Republicans offer no
remedy. They know things are out of
joint, but have have nothing to pro.
pose by way of improvement. On the
other hand, the allied opposition do
propose 8 practicable mode of relief.
They ask a restoration Of an old long
tried law that always worked we'll and
which would safely increase the money
supply, enlarge the volume of our cir
culating medium and revive business.
The rule of the money changers must
be ended. Let the people get into
power again. Let US vote as we talk,
and all will be well.
The advocate., 1896-10-28
LET US VOTE AS WE TALK.

1t is impossible to oVerestlmate the
importance Of the issue to be deter.
mined at the election next Tuesday.
The money question is personal mat
ter with every man and woman Wher.
ever there is law and government. In
the refinement Of modern civilization
money Is as necessary in all business
affairs as are air and water In the sup
port of human life.
And money Is for the people, not for
few, but for all. 1t was for that rea.
son that mints were opened to the free
and unlimited coinage Of gold and
silver bullion. Men were thus encour-
aged to open mines and procure metal
to get money for use In their business,
The commerce of the world, as well
as trade among individual persons, ia
moved and kept in motion by means of
money and substitute for money.
To dispense with money would be
to start backwards toward barbar.
ism.
How important, then, that the peo.
pie treat themselves fairly in the mat
ter Of reforming our monetary system.

now and have been many years at
work in this country at wages lower
than American work people would de-

is the reason that when employers and
their men cannot agree, other persons,
who will work for less wages, are em.
ployed? And what caused che upward
of forty thousand strikes In the Coun-

IL Republicans are so welded and ded.

DISPLAY THE FLAG.

the preservation Of our National honor,
for sound money and the advancement
Of our peoples interests" to display
the flag at their "homes, their places
Of business or where they can be seen
on Saturday, October 81" AS all silver
men are In favor Of voting for all the
things referred to, and as Republicans
have no monopoly Of patriotism, Mr..
Bryan calls on all of his followers to
do the same thing, Let every Populist,
every Democrat and every silver man
display the stars and stripes on the day
named, Saturday, October 81.

BE LOYAL TO SILVER CANDIDATES.

Kansas silver men should realize the
Importance of casting their votes SOL
idly for all the silver candidates for
Office. 1t Is not only important that
every silver vote should be given for
Mr.. Bryan, but Kansas must do it's part
to elect silver Congress, Every dis
trict has a Populist candidate whose
chances Of election are excellent. The
candidates are all true, honorable men,
worthy Of the confidence Of every sill
yer voter. 1t is possible to elect every
one Of them. In addition to this, a
silver United States Senator must be
named. To accomplish this, a silver
Legislature must be elected. Care
should be exercised in securing every
vote possible for the silver candidate
for Senator and Representative in your
district.
Another important thing that should
not be overlooked is the candidates
for offices not directly affecting leglSla-
tion. The State ticket should receive
the same support that is given to the
Electors. Any voter who has noticed
the efforts Of the present State officers
to confuse and mislesd voters by mix
ing up the ballot, realizes thatit would
have been q good thing in this fight
to have had silver men In those posi-
tions. While the State officers have
no direct influence over legislation,
still the value Of having silver men In
these positions in future campaigns
cannot be oVerestimsted. The same
Is true relative to county and town.
ship offices. If Populists were In each
Of the County Clerks Offices the effort
Of the State officers to mix up the ballot
would not be supplemented by Repub-
lican County Clerks all over the State.
If township officers were silver men
the election boards they named would
need no watching. If all these posi-.
tionS were held by silver men the infu-
enee Of the holder would not be, as it
Is now being, used In every way pos.
slble to assist in the fight for the gold
standard.
Silver men who want to vote their
best interest and to upbuild the cause
should vote for q silver man for every
Office from President to Road Over
seer. Do not vote part Of the ticket
and then nullify your good work by
voting for some Of the gold standard
candidates.
