Those Iowa democrats are made
OF the proper material. They break
down the idols of all that trust in
gold and build a glorious temple in
the cause of financial truth. The re-
publicans of Colorado are no less
clamorous for the humiliation Of the

turned down such able men as VOL

so staunch in their faith as Senator
Teller. From every hill and valley
comes the swelling chorus of those
who hoist the standard of independ-

ABOUT BELLS DEATH.
Dr Sicklcr OF Icrmyn. Writes 1t Was
Purely Accidental.

Any doubt as to the cause of death Of
aged John Bell in Jermyn recently is
set aside by letter from Dr. j. b. Sick
Ter. of that place, to Coroner Longstreet
Ihe letter was received yesterday.
coroner LongStreet on Monday re-
ceived an anonymous letter limiting that
Bells death was the result of foul play
DR.. Sicller wrote that he had never
seen anything suspicious connected
with the death of Bell, who died on the
morning of the l4th, except the fact
that there was some insurance mot a
large amounD carried on him by his
daughter with whom he lived. Dr.
Sickler had been acquainted with them
for sometime and thought the letter
received by the coroner was actuated
by spite. DR.. Sickler was called last
summer to attend the old man by the
same family when he fell part way
down stairs. He believes his death was
purely accidental.
