The Accommodating Indictment
Bryan.

. Within the last week, statements con-
demning BRYAN as a candidate have been
made by four American citizens OF par
ticular prominence in the community, Off
cially and individually. We republish them
here simultaneously, that the different i'm
pulses which prompted them may be con-
sidercd again by all prospective followers
of BRYAN. whose blindness or prejudice has
not shut their minds to reason. First hear
again the Hon. CHARLES #. BRowN one OF
the most distinguished Judges upon the
Supreme bench OF this State, able, high
minded, universally esteemed, and naturally
full Of the desire of an official to retain
post which he has held with honor for
many years, and to which he has been re-
nominated In the name of his party:
AT the approaching election I shall cast my vote
for the candidates OF the Republican party as can
not support the candidates nominated at the Chicago
Convention. or give my adherence 70 the political
principles set forth In the platform adopted by that
body"
When a political organization departs so
radically from the principles on which it
was founded. that judicial candidate for
reelection is compelled, in selfrespect, to
refuse denomination at it's hands, it is time
for all of its partisans to pause.
On the same ticket with Judge BROWN
was the name of Judge NATHANIEL II.

BROWNS side with these words
The platform adopted by the Chicago Convention
has, to put It mildly, proposed political creed

toned compel my deenaton."
The third letter is from man of different
profession from the two just quoted, and

The Time When Senator Hill Was
Not Silent.

Two years ago DAVID BENNETT HILL did
not hesitate to defy his party when it
took the first positive step toward dis
integration by declaring for the income
tax. The day that GROVER CLEVELAND
blundered into Populism, because he
knew nothing OF the essence Of Democracy,
and put the Populistic income tax into the
Democratic programme, and one Senator
only declared his irreconcilabls opposition,
the Democratic party ceased to exist. But
that theme is for discussion in the future.
Wonder and regret will end with election
day, if between now and then Senator HILL
does not manifest the unflinching Demo-
cratic partisanship and sterling patriotism
OF his memorable services in 1894, by damn
ing the Populism and Anarchy Of the Chi
cago platform and candidates as they de.
serve to be damned.

Destroyed by Fire on Saturday.
A serious fire occurred in this city
Saturday afternoon about half past
three o'clock, and before it could be
controlled the building owned by Kin
back brothers and occupied by DeVere,
the furniture man, was badly destroyed.
The fire companies responded to the
alarm in short order and soon the Nit
chells and Columbias had streams up
on the building. The Cottage fire COM
pany was upon the spot a little later
and aided materially In preventing the
neighboring places from catching.
II was soon seen that the fight was a
hopeless one. but the firemen fought
stubbornly and only gave in when
flames and smoke and falling timbers
compelled them to leave the doomed
building.
The fire had gotten such start before
discovered and the goods We're such that
1t was impossible to do more than pro-
trct other buildings.
The fire ragged with great fury so that
in a short time nothing was left of the
large building except heap of smoking
ruins.
Just how the fire originated II is hard
10 tell and the owners do not yet say
anything in regard to the matter. The
loss will be very large but the building
is partially insured.
