O. A. CLICKS REASONS
WHY A PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
TORE OFF HIS BRYAN BUTTON.

Special to the Indianap polls Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Sept 80. A. Click.
the Democratic leader and campaign
speaker. who a few days ago cast off his
Bryan emblem and put on a Mckinley
badge addressed a letter of resignat ton tc
County Chairman G.. W. Duke. of the
Democratic committee. Mr.. Clicks letter
is in part as follows:
Had L given fair consideration to that
plank in the platform which denounces
the suppression of a mob as a crime
against free institutions by federal author

the old world, and less to the crown of
thorns and cross of gold / would not now

had given the subject only a superficial
study. Investigation dscloses that the
hundreds of millions of silver dollars,
where Democracy, through a long series
or years of free silver did not coin tens
of millions. More than that, the Republican
money was kept and circulated concurrent
ly and on parity. To meet these argu-
ments the silverites can do nothing but
shout: Fight the British! Kill the shy
lock! Death to the goldbug, Down with
the banker! You know how this is, and
you know the class of men engaged in the
work and their motives and their object.
For me there is but one honorable course
to pursue, and l follow that hoping that
with painful experience and added knowl-
edge | may be able to right whatever
wrong | may have done. The success of
the Bryan ticket will only increase the
misfortune entailed upon the people by
the mistaken policy of the present ad-

CLINTON MAN MISSING

Special to tie Indianapolis Joural.

Special TO the indianapolis Joural.
CLINTON, Ind, Sept. 1S.--James -.
Royse. who. until short time ago. was
a prominent grocer of Clinton. is missing,
and it is believed he has been murdered.
Searching parties are securing the fields,
woods and river bottoms surrounding the
city for the body. Royse had been in
innate terms with woman named Lowe.
and the fact that the wronged husband
confesses to having shot at a man he
caught leaving his house at about 20 o'clock
saturday night gives support to the theory
OF murder. Loves neghbors, who heard
the pistol shots. ran to the windows and
say they saw man stagger fall rise and
scramble over fence into corn field
across the road. Lowe told the marshal,
rev moments later. that he believed he
mad hit his man, but as he was drinking
the ofhcer gave no credence to his story
ana sad nothing about it. 1t was not until
late tonight, when the wife appeared on
the street searching for her missing hus-
band, that any Importance was attached
to loves story of shooting. Mrs Royse
believes her husband has been murdered
and that his body is concealed about The
Lowe premises. Others are of opinion that
Royse, after being shot, dragged himself
through the corn field to the woods where.
he died. or is too badly wounded to make
his way to home or friends. The wife OF
the missing man is almost crazed from
grief and anxiety. No arrests have been
made. but the Lowe home is being closely
guarded. pending results of the search md

..,rhe skeletons Message,

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
The world of letters must acknowledge
a new member in the person of Lydia
Elliott. of Terre Haute, for poetic litera-
ture has received valuable acquisition
in her modest little volume lately issued by
the Inland Publishing Company, entitled
1.-THE Skeletons Message Indiana has
already attained merited prominence and
prestige on account of her writer's of both
prose and poetry and the States reputa-
ton will not suffer at the hands of this
gifted daughter. The work consists of
medley of poems Fon widely different
themes and written in widely different
verse but all are worthy of careful read
ing The poem from which this book takes
it's title is a weifd conception that marks
it's author as an original thinker, with
the genius to clothe her thoughts in strik-
ing verse 1t is not a cheerful story that is
told in the poem but its moral is whole
some. its diction forcible and its meter per-
feet. 1t teaches, by message from beyond
the veil, the vanity of human ambition.
Some of the poems following belong to the
landscape of Bryant and are of marked
value Among these I note Marshall
Pass a vivid and glowing description of
that rugged gateway of the Rockies. In
My Hearts in the. Mountains, as well
as in other poems, the author shows now
near she herself. is to natures heart. The
first stanza of this poem is exquisitely
beautiful.
My hearts in the mountains, my heart
My hearts in the mountains, where roam
the wild deer.
There lirnpid, white rivulets wantonly
And dance on their way through the dark
forest pine.
And the sapphire blue dome seems ready
to fall
To let us peep over it's bright shining
wall.
And earth towards Heaven rises up for a
kiss,
Where nature tremendously blends in
Oh, the skies are so near. and this world
seems so far,
AS family see it--a dim, distant star
In Pierre Barnard" and others of it's
class Mrs Elliott shows herself mistress
of narrative. She tells a tale of herois,n
in strong and stirring verse. The poem
entitled Lincoln may be quoted as a
sample of the authors more heroic verse:
THE deeds of him who bore that name
On Ethiopa's soul are marked in flame;
Caressed at birth by. tolls hard hands,
He fingered not till life's uplands
Rose clear distinct before his gaze
A golden mist from purplish haze.
Honesty. faith, pure love, exemplified:
Great nature wept when Lincoln died"
But perhaps the most touching and
beautiful of the collection are those which
tell the simple story of domestic joys and
sorrows. Among them L note Gods Poor, i"
which closes in these words:
Thus hand in hand with poverty
Go simple faith and honesty
Though poor, that man has richest bliss
Who owns wife's love and children's kiss
But any cursory and incomplete review
of this little volume must necessarily fail
to give any adequate idea of the poetic
gems between its covers. To be appreciated
it must be read entire. / bespeak for its
author generous recognition by literary
people, and for '"Fhe Skeletons Message

TeIIer,s Misrepresentation.

10 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Senator Teller in his speech at Nor
rison, ILL.,, said:
Mexico is on a silver basis and has al
ways been there, and the man who tells
YOU that silver has driven gold out of
Mexico is either a cheat or an ignoramus.
Now. Senator Teller is very ignorant of
history. he is guilty of what Mr..
Schurtz says is audacious lying. Any one
who will may take the American Cyclic
pedia Annual of 1879, Volume A. Page 613,
under the title of Mexico, and the follow
ing article appears:
THE year 1879 was marked by the con-
tinuance of the depression which began to
be felt in commercial circles in the second
half of 1878, and which was mainly at
London market. No better explanation of
this phenomenon can be given than the
following extracted from the United States
minister's report to the State Department
at Washington, under date of Oct. 90. 1873:
The basis of all monetary transactions in
this country is silver. Although the double
standard of gold and silver is provided by
law, and the government is constantly
mnting coins of both metals, for number
of years past the gold coinage has COM
manded considerable premium over sill
yer, and during the past two or three
years gold has not only ceased to be a cir
culating medium, but has almost entirely
left the country. 1t is now difficult to pur-
chase on short notice in this city only a
few thousand dollars in gold, and it COM
mands premium of from IA to is per
cent, according to the fluctuations of the
London silver market. Silver is by law
an unlimited legal tender for all debts,
public and private. AS indicating the in
furious effects business affairs of the
depreciation in the value of silver 1 in
close herewith a communication which
the Minister of Finance has addressed to
Congress, conveying to that body the tel
egraphic quotations of the London market
which have resulted in placing foreign ex-
change at a premium of % per cent For
some weeks previous to the recent decline
exchange on New York ruled at IS per
cent :"
Now. If it be true that on a silver basis
silver is controlled by the fluctuations of
the market, and when silver is lower than
gold the latter ceases to circulate and
leaves the country. how can we reach BIZ
metallism by the adoption of free silver?
The absolute truth is, bimetallsm is i'm
possible in any country on silver basis
Bimetallism means the circulation OF both
metals side by side. as the United States
now has, but when one is cheaper than
the other that one must be limited or
the dearer one will not circulate, as is
the case now in Mexico or for that mat
ter, in any country on a silver basis

Colonel Havens's views.
Washington Post.


Colonel B. F. Ravens of Terre Haute,
Ind has written letter to a weli known
Republican in Washington concerning the
situation in the Hoosier State. He says:
You never saw the day in Indiana or the
West when everything was so bad In d
business way Thousands of our business
men don't know which way to turn. they
are not making a dollar, and If they We're
called upon to settle 35 per cent. would
fail. And we have fools who think that
only poor people make d prosperous coun-
publican convention last March before the
storm came up on free silver. / declared
for Mckinley III this district with Filbeck,
Norman and the leaders all the other way.
As to the situation here | judge it from
my precinct, ward, city and county
Ny precinct shows three free-Siiver Repub-
licans and twenty-six Democrats that Will
not vote for Bryan. The ward Will give
fifty increased majority. poll of the city
shows the tide all one way. and the en-
thusiastic say the county will give 1,500.
Ny judgment is that it will go LOCO, and
that is an increase over 1894. An executive
commissioner of the worlds fair, | travelled
all over Indiana. in 1892 / then found ev-
erywhere Republicans who would not vote
for Harrison. / have been out in the State
and have met many old Democratic friends
and new Republican friends. And now the
stua ton is reversed. Democfats-not the
Bryan ones, but the honest-money ones
and the Republicans now tell you of the
Democrat who will not vote for Bryan, and
of Democrats who will vote for Mckinley
I regard Indiana safe against all corners

w. IT. DURBIN's WARNING.
He Says Republicans should Not Rest
on Their Oars.

Special to the Indianapolis Joural.
ANDERSON, Ind, Sept. 13.-National
Committeeman w. T. Durbin of the West
ern Republican headquarters. in Chicago,
was at home to-day spending Sunday with
his wife, who has just returned from Eu-
rope.s In speaking of the outlook Mr.. Dur
bin expressed himself as being very hope
full He. however, is by nc means san
guine, and warns Republicans against rest
ing their oars. He says that the fight
ing ground is Indiana, Illinois, Michigan.
Iowa, Wisconsin and Kansas, and says that
Nebraska is reliably Republican. 1t all de-
ponds on this group of central States how
TIE election will result. and both parties
can at present claim them. He does not
believe, however. that they will all go Re-
publican. and thinks personally that In
diana will go %, 900 or $4,000 for Mckinley.
He is counting on Kentucky also. The
most doubtful State of all he has men
toned, he says, is Wisconsin. He says the
Democrats have not really opened their
campaign in these States as the Republic
ans have. and as yet it is little early to
form opinions He thinks that Maine will
give a majority of $4,000 10000 to-mor-
row. These figures are high, he says. but
he believes they will be reached.
