A,s. lican MONEY Plank,

The Republican party is unreservedIy
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit Of our coun-
try. We are therefore opposed to the
free coinage of silver, except by inter
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations Of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, and
until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold standard must be
preserved.
All our silver and paper currency
must be maintained at parity with gold,
and we favor all measures designed to
maintain inviolablv the obligations of
the United States, and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard, the standard of the most en-
lightened nations of the earth.

MACI.EAY.


The Misses Taylor, of Macleay, en-
tertained a number of friends at their
coy, lovely home on New Years
night. At 1880 the guests began to
arrive and In less time than an hour,
the roo lis were filed with music and
laughter. AS you entered the front
hall, your eyes rested upon large
broad band which extended from east
to west OF the hall, and the more you
gazed thereon the more beautiful to
the eye appeared the band, sprinkled
with dust, alike to diamonds, with
the following words, beautifully made
in silver colors: "a Happy New Year"
AS you entered the front parlor, you
noticed that the decorations were
made with some special reference to
the season. The holly and mistletOe
made strickingly beautiful combi-
nation. The doors leading from first
to second parlor were slid apart and
magnificent curtains of green fir
leaves, made into long strings, which
looked very artistic, took the place of
the beaded ones. The mistletoe
hung In every hall and room. AS
ferns and grasses were the limitations
aside from holly and mistletoe in the
decorative art, they were woven in
skillfully. Music, games, and social
conversation occupied the fast flying
hours, and at II the happy company
were conducted to the dining room
where refreshments were served. Too
soon the hour to bid the friends good
night came, and each guest before go
ing was presented with New Years
card tied with sprigs Of mistletoe by
a ribbon. Thus ended another bril-
liant affair in social circles.

SAN JOSE RAIL WAY SUED.
Heavy Damages Demanded for
the Killing of 0rmond
Butler.
Death of the Lad Alleged to Have
Been Due to the Company's
Negligence.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 27.-The $50. 900
damage suit of T. D. Butler against the
San Jose Street Railway Company was be-
gun before jury in Judge Lorigan's
court to-day. The suit is the result of an
accident on August "a last, in which
Ormond M. Butler, a 2O-year-old son OF
the plaintiff, was killed.
Young Butler was riding bicycle along
North First street near st. John at the
time of the accident. When passing a
streetcar going in an opposite direction
the car jumped the track and the rear end
swung around and struck him in the head
Butler was picked up unconscious and lin
gered until August 30 when his death oc-
cured from concussion of the brain.
The plaintiff states in the complaint
that his son was the sole support and
solace of his old age. and at the time of
his death was preparing TO furnish home
for the defendant in this city.
It is alleged that the switch where the
accident occurred was in an unsafe and
defective condition; that the frog was i'm
properly ballasted and imbedded; and was
at all times so loose that when the wheels
of car struck the switch there was a
rebound that threw them upward. IL Is
also claimed that the car was unsound and
unfit for use, having wheels so wide and
broad that the gauge of tracks was too
narrow to insure safe passage. Negligence
on the part of the motorman is also
charged.
Besides the $4,000 damages asked,
$257 40 is added for medical attendance
and funeral expenses.
The street railway company denies the
charges in the complaint in toto, and
attributes the young mans death to his
own negligence in riding at great speed
IN too close proximity to the car. Several
witnesses were examined to-day and the
case went over till tomorrow.

SHERMAN INDoRSES mKINLEF.
argues Htth the Ohio Statesman on the
Money! OMestion.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, April 27.-At a
meeting of the Brooklyn Young Republi-
can Club this evening letter from Sena-
tor Sherman of Ohio was read, In which
he said:
There can be no doubt as to the opiu-
ions of Major Mckinley on the money
question. He is committed in every form,
by speech and otherwise, to the Republi-
can policy of maintaining the present gold
coin of the United States as the standard
of value. He, in common with myself and
others, believes that silver should be en-
ployed as money, always, however, to be
maintained at par with gold. The con-
venience of silver coins for the transac-
tions of minor business is so manifest that
no sound money man would desire its DIS
continuance, but upon the primary con-
dition that its coinage should be limited
and its purchasing power maintained by
the fat of the Government at par with
gold. He believes as l do. that tariff
should be adopted that will partially pro-
tect all American industries from undue
competition with foreign production that
can be and ought to be produced in the
United States"

TWIN DAUGHTERS ABDUCTED.
Revenge Over Disappointment in Love
Causes Miss Amot to Commit the
Crime

ELIOT. WIS, April 27.-There is great
excitement here over the abduction of the
twin daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Asher.
been put out of the way for all time by the
abductor, who is woman.
The motive for the deed was revenge.
Mr.. Asher at one time was the accepted
lover of Miss Amot. Just before the time
set for their marriage Asher married Miss
Hannah Mayo, and this unsettled Miss
Amot's mind. Mr.. Asher was absent from
home Saturday night, and this fact becom-
ing known to Miss Amot, she, just before
midnight, went to the Asher home and,
breaking in through a window, presented
herself at Mrs. Asher's bedside with a
revolver in her hand. After abusing and
threatening Mrs. Asher until the woman
was in a state of mind bordering upon
insanity the crazy girl took from their
mothers side the twin babies, wrapped
them in a bedspread and left the house
with them. 1t was daylight before Mrs.
Asher recovered sufficiently to give the
alarm, and since that time an active
search has been in progress, but without
successful result
M ISIS Amot was found about noon, and
admitted having taken the babies for
revenge. To one person she declared she
had killed them, but to Mr.. Asher she
said she had simply hidden them away
and would bring them back if given $500.
She Is now held a prisoner, and war
rant will be sworn out against her if the
children are not found soon.

There Promises to Be a Lively
Fight Over Instructing the
Delegates.
CULLoM Has SOME CLAIMS
The Senator Complains That the
Party Is Ungrateful for His
Long Services.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 27.-The
corridors of the hotels were filed to-
night with delegates to the State Kepub-
lican Convention, which begins here
Wednesday, and the prediction of the poll
ticians is that it will be the liveliest and one
of the most important affairs of its kind
in the history of the party in Illinois. The
leaders from Chicago are bitterly divided
between organizing the convention for
John r. Tanner, the only candidate tor Gov
ernor practically, although ex-Congress-
man Hopkins is in the field, and instruct
ing the delegates at large for Mckinley at
the beginning of the permanent organiza-
ton as against instructing for Cullom.
The question of instructions for Presi-
dent overshadows everything else. The
State organization, led by Chairman jamie
son, ana the city machine of Chicago, are
arrayed against the Mckinley leaders, who
want to force Mckinley instructions the
first thing, and the talk tonight is that
the fight is to be made on organizing the
convention. The politicians are bitterly
opposed to disturbing the regular order of
the convention as mapped out, while the
Mckinley faction claims it has a majority
of 240 delegates to do as it pleases. Cau-
cuses were held until a late hour and the
lines drawn tighter for and against Nc
Kinley instructions. All parties agree
that the convention will afford a signit-
cant test of McKinley's strength in this
State.
Chairman Jameson said he believed no
instructions would be given for Cullom or
Mckinley. The latest figures compiled by
the more partial politicians give Mckinley
only 81 in the Cook County delegation and
So short of enough to insure instructions.
The total Mckinley strength in the con-
ventlon is put at $40 to 900.

Sentence Will Be Imposed Upon Those
Accused of Treason and Lese
Majestic.

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, April d.
John Hays Hammond, the American. and
other members of the Reform Committee
who we're absent from the court on Friday
when pleas of guilty of treason and lese
majeste were entered by the accused, at
tended court to-day with the other de-
PENDANTS. Hammond pleaded guilty of
treason, while Sauer and Simpson pleaded
guilty of lese majeste. j. S. Curtis, an
American engineer, who was also among
the members of the committee who were
arrested, is the only one of the defendants
who has not pleaded to the charges. He
is at liberty on bail.
Counsel for the defense to-day read a
statement to the court signed by Ham
mond. Phillips, Farrar and Colonel
Rhodes, admitting that they had asked
jameson to go to johannesburg, but de-
ploring his mistake in entering the Trans
vaaI and marching on Johannesburg when
there was no urgent need for his presence.
They maintained that their action was not
hostile to the Government. Judgment
will be rendered tomorrow.
The trial of Curtis was postponed until
the next session of the court.
The statement read by the counsel for
the defense also enumerates the grievances
of the Uitlanders and elaborated reasons to
prove that the actions of the committee
were not hostile to the republic.
Regarding DIR. Jameson's raid the state
ment declared that when the committee
learned certain facts it sent on December
q two messengers major Heaney by rail
and Captain Holden across country to
forbid DR.. Jameson to move.
