SILVER MEN MAY HOLD A CAUCUS
Agree Upon II Candidate Before the
Convention Meets.

Chicago, July MISUNDERSTANDING the
denial by some of the, leaders of the silver
men that there will be a general caucus
of the silver forces there is no doubt the
propriety of holding one has been serious
ly discussed. If those favoring such
course have their way, a conference to
which all the silver delegates will be in
Vited will be held next Monday.
The proposition was sprung by the ad
vocates of Bland, who claim the fair and
seemly thing for silver men to do is to
get together to caucus and agree upon a
candidate who shall be the choice of all
silver men when they go into the con-
vention. This they say would avoid
wrangIe among the advocates of the same
cause, and avoid the possibility of the
nomination of a man of questionable
soundness on silver by a combination of
his personal followers with the gold
forces. They say they are so we'll as
sured of BANDS strength they do not
fear such a test as this would be.
This program has, however, received
somewhat of a setback through the op-
position of the adherents of the other
aspirants. 1t is believed it has been
frowned upon by many of the national
leaders, who are more concerned about
the success of the silver cause than they
are for the welfare of any individual can
ddate.

A HOLIDAY LYNCHING
NEGRO WAS TAKEN FROM JAIL
AND STRUNG UP.
souslx Assaulted nn Entire
Family, One Of Whom Dio
Not Recover.

Rockville, Nd, July 4.-Sidney Ran
dolph. a negro, charged with the murder
of little Sadie Buxton and brutal as
salllt with intent to commit murder on the
girls father, mother and elder sister, was
lvnched before daylight this morning.
About 2:3O Charles H. NJ. Peyton, 1ailor
of MONTGOMERY county, was aroused by a
loud rapping at the front door of the jail.
He inquired who was there, and was told
to open the door to receive prisoner
He did so, and found confronting him
mob of 20 or 80 masked men. He slammed
the door in their faces and locked II, only
to have 1t broken down few mlutes
later.
The crowd rushed in and demanded thai
he unlock the cell doors. Meeting with
a refusal, they levelled reVolvers at Pey-
toms head and directed him to hand over
the keys which he did promptly. The mob
proceeded at once to Randolph's cell. The
negro was an exceedingly powerful man,
over six feet tall and muscular. There
must have been a hard struggle to secure
him, the cell floor being covered with
blood marks.
Prisoners in the adjoining cells say he
protested his innocence and begged for
life. The mob gagged him. dragged him to
a vehicle in waiting and drove out Of
town. A hangmans knot was tied around
the Negroes neck and soon afterwards
his lifeless body WAS swinging from
convenient tree.
On the morning of May 26 all Maryland,
within SO miles of Washington, was start
led by he news that during the night
one or more intruders had entered the
house of Mr.. Ruxton, q miller of Gathers
burg, and murderously assaulted the
head of the family, the wife and two
daughters with an ak while they were
asleep. Though terribly injured, all recov-
cred save the youngest daughter Suspi-
cion pointed to Sydney Randolph, who
was unable 20 give satisfactory account
Of himself.
1t was supposed the crime had been
instigated by q man named Neal just re-
leased from the pententiary, whittier he
had been sent chiefly through testimony
given by Buxton, whose life he threaten
ed. Neal could not be connected with the
crime and was released while Randolph
was committed to jail to await trial.
