WILL ESCAPE OR DIE.

Bill DooIin Doesn't Propose to Stand
Trisi-His First Attempt.
GUTHRIE, o. T., March IA Jail de-
livery has been prevented here by the
discovery of all underground tunnel in
the United States Jail, where liz pris-
oners are incarcerated. The leaders
were Bill Doolin, Bill Reidler and Bob
Montgomery, three members of the
famous Dalton gang. The outlaws had
revolvers and knives in their possession
to protect themselves. Doolin says he
will never wait for his trial, but will
escape or die in the attempt.

international agreements which get as
much as they give, upon terms of mu
tual advantage. 1t stands for foreign
policy dictated by and imbued with a
spirit that is genuinely American; for
q policy that will revive the national
traditions and restore the national
spirit which carried US proudly through
the earlier years OF the century. 1t
stands for such policy with all foreign
nations as will insure to them and us
justice, good faith, dignity and honor.
1t stands for the Monroe doctrine as
Monroe himself proclaimed. 1t stands
for a commercial policy that will
whiten every sea with the sails of
American vessels, flying the American
flag, and that will protect that flag
wherever it floats.
1t stands for fiscal policy opposed to
debts and deficits in time of peace, and
favors the return of the government to
q debt paying policy, and opposes the
continuance of the debt making policy.
1t is too plain for argument that the
public credit and commercial interests
of the country require the revenues of
the government to be amply sufficient
for the public expenditures at all times
without danger of deficit, and to that
end congress should, without delay,
make due nrovision.
1h. Financial Plank.
We contend for honest money; for q
currency of gold, silver and paper, with
which to measure our exchange, that
shall be as sound as the government
and as untarnished as its honor, and to
that end we favor bimetaliism, and de-
mand the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, either in accordance
with ratio to be fixed by an interna-
tional agreement, if that can be OBJ
ia ned, or under such restrictions and
such provisions to be determined by
legislation, as will secure the mainten-
ance of the PARTIES of the values of the
two metals, SO that the purchasing and
debt paying power of the dollar
whether of silver, gold or paper shall
be at all times equal.
We denounce the present administra-
ton of the pension bureau for its be-
trayal Of the interests of the Union
soldiers, and we pledge anew to the
veterans of the republic a watchful
care and recognition of their just
claims upon a grateful people.
Honor Other Favorite Sons.
We honor the eminent sons of other
states, whose splendid services and high
character have justified their presenta.
ton to the American people as candi-
dates for the presidency, and we assure
Republicans everywhere that whoever
may lead the Republican hosts, Ohio
will contribute her share to the swell
ing tide of victory in November.
The people of Ohio take satisfaction
in the expressions, coming from every
section of our common country, Of pop
ular approval Of their distinguished
fellow citizen, William Mckinley.
The great advocate of protection, who
has all hisiife stood for America, its
factories, it's farms, its firesides. finds
his reward in the confidence and affec-
tion of the people whose interests have
been his constant care. The Republi-
cans of Ohio pledge him anew the
absolute, loyal and answering support
Of his state at the national convention,
and instruct the delegates chosen to
| represent Ohio to redeem this pledge.

II LOOKS LIKE HOBART.
New Jersey May Get Second Place on
the Republican Ticket.

ST. LOUIS, June II, 1S96.--It begins to
look as though the Republican ticket
would be Mckinney and Hobart. An
effort is being made by the Southern
men to effect a combination upon Henry
Clay Evan of Tennessee. but it does
not appear to be amounting to anything.
The Southern delegates who will par
ticipate in the convention will be the
men who have been seated by the Ma
tional Committee, because they are for
Mckinley, and they will do anything
that McKinley's managers want.
Mckln1ey's managers are for Hobart.
They tell me that no Republican can
be selected in New York or Penisylvan.a
because of factional -quarrels in those
States. and they have therefore gone into
the neutral State of New Jersey. They
want an Eastern man and they want all
the Eastern States. They say that Ho-
bart is well known in Pennsylvania and
New York and they give him. credit for
carrying New Jersey for the Republicans
and say that his nomination will make
that State surely on their side.
1t was said last night that Senator
Quay has promised that the Pennsylvania
delegation shall support Hobart. and
when that fact becomes generally known
there will be no further opposition 10
the New Jersey man. Mr.. Hobart said
last night that he was making no can
vass for the place, preferffng to wait
until the New Jersey delegation gets
here on Saturday. The papers here ara
printing full biographies and descrip-
tions and pictures of him and hail him
as the Vice Presidential nominee.
