In an article in the New York World
OF July 3rd that paper, which never
tells the truth except by accide nj, says
that the free silver men need Moses
20 lead them. The silver men ara
much obliged to the World for its kind
solicitude, but they do not want any
Moses Ia theirs. The Republican par.
ty has got all the Mosescs, and
-Jacobses and Isaacrcs, and the r..
armers do not want any Of them.

Hon. Sam. Anderson, OF Litchfeld,
Is In the city today, and bears testl-
mony to the tremendous growth of
the silver sentiment In his part of the
state. Mr.. Anderson says that it is
shown wherever you talk with in
dividuals, or wherever there is gath
ering of men for any purpose. Thus,
in the recent chase for the Glencoe
murders, there was at one time an as
semblage OF 300 or 400 farmers. The
question Of silver came up. and IL was
proposed to take vote and see how
many silver men there was present,

DEFENDS HENRY GEORGE.

Editor Representatives:
Dear Sir: noticed in a recent number
Of your paper q statement to the effect
that Henry George had espoused the cause
Of protection" do not know how any
thing 50 ridiculously absurd could fnd a
place even in the columns Of papers which
make merit of maligning real reformers,
much less in the Representative. A.
personal friend of Mr.. Georges. In FREE
Quent communication with him, I pro-
nounce the statement referred to to be q
silly and vicious lie. It would be simply
impossible for Mr.. George to be protec-
Zionist. and he never in his life since he
began the study of economics has ever
uttered or insinuated In any way. that he
could or would he anything but the most
radical Of absolute free traders. Personal
gain is nothing to him and he is a prophet.
an apostle Of that natural law and order
Of things which would permit the entirely
unchecked and unhindered exchange Of
all products between all people. Very
truly,

HOBOBS IN JAIL.
They stole sntcheI at the Railroad
station.

Another robbery was committed at the
depot Monday afternoon for which four
hoboes are in Newfane Jail awaiting trial
at the coming session of the county court
At about o'clock Monday afternoon Geo
Convey of Keene arrived at the station, left
his satchel in the corner of the waiting
rooms near the ticket Office and went up
street on business which detained him
about half an hour after which he returned
to the station and discovered that his
satchel had been stolen. He notified Bag
gage Master David Carey, who at once
suspected two or three men who had been
hanging around the depot since last Friday
Daniel Sullivan, who is employed in the
baggage room, saw one of the men have
the satchel, but supposed it belonged to
him. Mr.. Carey and Charles Ebbighausen
searched the premises and went over on
the island where some of the men had
been seen, but found nothing. At 10
O'Clock Chief of Police Hall and Bailiffs
Calvin and Wright went over on the island
and met one of the men near one of the
breweries, which all of the suspects had
patronized pretty generally during the day.
A thorough search of the island revealed
the satchel underneath Taylor's horse barn.
1t was open and several articles which
were of no value TO the robbers were scat
tered over a wagon body. A Boston g.
Maine mileage book, worth about SIS, and
suit Of clothes were gone.
When the officers returned to the sta
ton one of the men was sitting upon the
platform. He was taken into custody.
The freight cars in the yard were then
searched and two men found in a car or
top of load of lumber. They were hauled
out and taken to c. c. Fitts's Office. The
ll:l5 Boston & Maine freight train was
searched and the fourth man found in com
pany with another man from Greenfield.
They were also taken to Fitts's office and
questioned after which four of them we're
placed in the lookup and the Greenfield
man released, 1t being decided that he
was not connected with the robbery Tues
day afternoon the prisoners we're given a
hearing before Jus.!ce Vim. S. Newton,
George u. H"t appearing for the prosecu-
tjoI, as Attorney Fits was Obliged to be
absent. The men gave their names as
John Wilson of Springfield, Mass, George
Morgan of Boston, James Herndon of New
Orleans and Thomas Murphy of Worces-
ter. Daniel Sullivan identified Herndon
as the man whom he saw with the satchel.
Their testimony was obviously mass of
lies, none of their stories agreeing. 1t is
doubtful If they gave their names correctly.
1t was deemed wise TO bind them over to
the county court and they were placed
under bonds in the sum of $500 each. In
default of bail they were taken to Newfane
by Chief Hall Tuesday afternoon.
