cause seems to be In desperate condi-
ton In this state. The fearful effort that
was made by the Watts managers to
form fusion with the Popullsts IN the
state ticket showed this conclusiyely. a
party that knows itself to be In the ma
Jority! does not resort to such sacrifices
OF principle. for It Ia not necessary to do
SO. A further evidence OF weakness Is
the peculiar campaign the state Demo-
cratic managers are making. 1t Is pro-
posed to have Watts workers in every
precinct to offer TO tradegnff any local
Democratic candidates for Republican
vote for Watts for governor and for the
Democratic candidates for Congress. The
scheme won't work. 1tls too old md tho
friends OF George W.. Atkinson and of
the Republican candidates for Congress
are too loyal to their cause to betray
them In such a manner. G. A. D. 4

Chairman Jones thinks 1t SO bad a

The Republicans who set up coun-
ter demonstration at the Bryan meeting
over the river yesterday made mis-
take. Each side should be allowed to
hold its meetings without any manifes-
tation of hostility. Those who DO not
wish to hear should stay away. The
man who holds most strongly to his own
opinions should be the most tolerant of
the opinions OF others.

the year following the passage of the act
OF 1873 Senator Stewart, IN a discussion
in the senate In which he championed
the gold standard, said:
THE question will never be settled
until YOU determine the simple question
whether the laborlng man Is entitled to
have gold dollar IL he earns It, or
whether you are going to cheat him with
something else. That is thesupshot OF
the whole thing. Everybody has to say
that the lnboring man Is entitled to a
gold dollar. That was fought over.
They will fight 1t over again, and the
same party will win. There have been
a great many battles fought against
gold, but gold has won every time"

Weber, his brother, were arrested Yesterday
afternoon and charged with plotting to
kill f. v. Hamlin, secretary Of the X liner
Steel Tile Company.
Hamlin has been absent for a month
aud during his absence Weber has filled

The secretary has just returned 10 the
city, and it is alleged that Weber planned

job. t-.-,
Weber was picked up frum the streets
by Hamlin twenty years ago, aud was
e,iucat by the latter and supported until
he rca ched manhood. His brother Gus is a
tough about town, aud has been in Bride
well several times.
According To the police report he con-
fessed that W. J. Weber offered to pay him
10 put Hamlin out of the way, and he ac-
cepted the job.
Gus took with him as partner in the
prospective murder another tough named
DICK Maloney. and the two7wer. fitted up
