ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 25.-State Chair
man Roselle, of the Peoples Party;
charges that four times since the NOM
nation of the PopuIists ticket he has
been offered money from Republican
sources to urge his influence towards
keeping a full Third party ticket in
the field.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Res
ellie said:
"Mr Jones (nominee fer G0vernor),
has suffered enough abuse and vile in
situations because Of his withdrawal
from the contest for Governor. It is
time the truth should come out.
Money has been offered the State can
Gidates and the committee repeatedly
during tbs campaign from Republican
sources.
Republican money was offered me,
pose electoral fusion with the Demo-
Gratis and to keep the State ticket ir-
tact"
He said Republican Nancy was Of
fercd others of the PoDulists also. and

in saying that some Of it was &C

After refusing three offers Chair
man Roselle says the alleged represen-
tatlve Of Chairman Fiiiey, of the Re
publican State com nittee made an
other proposition to him in the fol-
| lowing language: "The moment you
| file your whole State ticket at Jeffer-
son City. the odd Man (meaning JEFF.
ferson Filley) will produce fer yor
81, 900 and l am authorized to say thai
you can have 81 900 more on which tt
make a red hot, straight out cam

"Thi5 man often went so far as tt

On September 18th some earnest
women in Chicago organized The Ma
tionai Silver League, and elected for
President, Mrs. III. w. Duncanson;
Cor. Secretary, Mrs. Fl. P. Hney; Ma
tional Organizer, Mrs. NJ. f. Walker.
The membership has steadily in
creased till it now numbers $50, sew
eral having joined in Illinois. and one
each from Iowa and Indiana.
The league is not organized solely
for work in the campaign. UD to No
vember 3rd it will work for the cleo
ton of William Jennings Bryan, and
the restoration of silver to its cOnsti-
tutional place as basic money, On the
same terms as gold at the ratio of is
to J, which is its immediate object.
But it is designed to continue the
work of agitation and education in the
interest of financial and economic re-
form, and government Of the people,
by the people, for the people, after
the campaign is closed. 1t is hoped
that women everywhere will organize
leagues and clubs for the same pur-
pose and become auxiliary to the Ma.
tional body.

NASHVILLE, Tenn Oc.. 2l.-The
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee tonight rejected the propo-
sition for fusion made by the Popu-
lists, who demanded four electors
and one Congressman. The answer
IS very warm throughout, attacking
the sincerity aud good faith of the

have had string tied TO the
propositions, and that they are work
ing in the interest OF John II. Me-

Loss 10 the Countrywide Political Stu
alton in Georgia Thrown Into Chaos by
the Ex-spesker'. Death.
ATLANTA. Ga, oct. - -Ex- Speaker
Charles +. Crisp died here this after
noon.
Mr.. Crisp's death, while apparently
thus so sudden, was not unexpected by
the physicians who have been watch
ing his health. He had been declining
for several years. His last illness, how
ever, was Immediately uccasioned by
an attack of malaria fever, which he
contracted at his home. Amercus. "A
few weeks ago, but which itself yielded
to treatment when he came to Atlanta
He was considered convalescent, and
only last Sunday had ridden out. But
when renewed health seemed within
view, be was attacked by congestion
of the lungs, which, added to the weak
ness of the lungs and heart, caused by
the previous attacks of pleuro- pneumo-
nia, resulted in his death.
Honors benefiting the high stations
Mr.. Crisp has occupied in the State and
the nation will undoubtedly be paid
his memory By the General Assem-
bly,. which meets next Wednesday.
Mr.. Crisp was the choice Of the Dem
ocIats of Georgia to succeed Senator
John b. Gordon in the United States
Senate, and would have been chosen
| to that position by the Legislature at
its approaching session had he lived.
His nntimely death throws the poli,i-
cal situation into chaos and makes the
choice OF Senator a matter of great
uncertainty. The Legislature is al
most unanimously for free silver, how
ever, aud whoever is named Will be an
advocate Of that policy.

GEN. CASEY DIES SUDDENLY.
Was on His Way to His Work When He
Was Stricken Down.

Washington, March 25.-Brigadier Cen
eral Thomas Lincoln Casey (retired). late
chief of engineers, United States army,
died at his residence in this city at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
General Casey, accompanied by his
son, was on his way to his office in the
new congressional library building, of the
construction of which he had charge, and
was taken ill in the street car. He was
carried into the library and a physician
was summoned, who administered rem
edies, which relieved him sufficiently in
the course of an hour to enafle him to
be removed to his home. There, after
suffering another relapse, he suddenly
died, as is supposed, from paralysis of
the heart, superinduced by acute indi-
gestion.
He has long and creditable record of
service in the engineer corps of the army.
Among his later work was superintend-
ing the completing of the state, war and
navy departments building in Washing
ton; the Washington national monument;
the construction of the medical museum
and library in Washington; the erection
of the monument over the grave of
Thomas Jefferson at Monticello Va; that
at Washington's headquarters at New
burgh, N. Y; that to mark the birth
place of Washington in Westmoreland
county Virginia, and the Garfield statue
and pedestal in Washington.
In October, 1885, he was charged by act
of congress with the construction of the
congressional library building, and in APP

tinued him after retirement in control of

A.P.A A. COMMITTEE MEETING.
Copies of the Proceedings Will Be Sent to
the Councils Secretly.

Washington, March 25.-The executive
committee of the advisory board of the
American Protective association, who
who have been in session at the National
hotel here, adjourned tonight to meet in
New York next week. The reports re-
ceived and considered showed a great
increase in membership, and a council
of the order exists in every state and
territory in the union, including Alaska.
Plans were made today for sending to
the southern cities the secret action
taken by the executive committee. This
secret action embodies instructions as to
the part the councils and members shall
take and the work they shall perform in
the coming national campaign.
At the session of the order the merits
and dement's of every probable and pos
sble candidate for nomination before the
democratic and republican national con-
ventions were discussed. DR. Dunn said
that nothing derogatory to these candi-
dates was mentioned and that no action
was taken with reference to any of them.
He also said that reports showing the
status of the representation of the or
der politically proved that there will be
American Protective association repre-
sentatives in both the democratic and re-
publican national conventions. They
will not even be entrusted to the mails,
but will be transmitted through secret
channels of the order.

GUBERNATORIAL LOGIC.

Abiding to Governor Oates recent let
ter declining to take the stump for Mr.
Clarke, the Atlanta Constitution OBJ
serves:
'1r is worth while remarking that if
Mr.. Clarke had felt the same delicacy
Colonel Oates would have lacked the
services of his most ardent and enthu-
sastlc champion in the last campaign
Mr., Clarke preferred Oates to Johnston,
and he went about the state saying so,
and made a very effective campaign for
his friend. But 1t seems that when a
man gets to be governor in Alabama
the claims of reciprocity stand barred
by the dignity of the office.
1--WE are inclined to suspect, however,
that the dignity of the office has little to
do with it, for, though Governor Oates
Is hnmorist on the money question,
he has very serious views in regard to
the political future. He will likely be a
candidate for the United States senate,
and he probably feels that he may need
the support of some of the friends of
Captain Johnston, who is also candi-
date for governor, to enable him to
reach that high position. And yet what
will the friends of Clarke do about it
when they find that Governor Oates.
like an early robin, is hopping from
limb>to limb and running nimbly along
the ground intent only on getting his
own political craw full?
I'm his letter to the Register Governor
Oates says he is not in favor of the sin
gle gold standard. We have not seen
the document in full, but If the synopsis
given by our Montgomery correspondent
is correct. the governor is in favor of
nothing else but the single gold stand
ard. It is true he says he wants silver
to be q legal tender, good for the pay
ment of debts. While standard money
is a legal tender, yet legal tender is not
always a standard money, as witness
our greenbacks and treasury notes.
Something else besides the legal tender
quality is necessary to make silver a
part of our standard money.
But in order to show that he is really
for the single gold standard, Governor
Oates goes on to say that he is not in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver unless enough silver be put In
the silver dollar to make it equal in
value with gold. He is for coming all
the silver that can. be made to circulate
con parity with gold" and this is the
doctrine of the gold contractionists pure
and simple. Bimetallism provides for
q joint standard of value--gold and sill
verso that when the commercial value
of one metal appreciates above the mint
ratio the standard rests on the other
metal, prices remain stable. and no in
Justice is done to debtors and creditors
consequently, when Governor Oates
says that he wants silver to circulate
