cheered when he stepped forward at
the Madison Square Garden meeting,
and delivered his speech of accer-
lance. He spoke as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Committee: You have given me
official notice of my selection by the
Democratic National Convention as
candidate for Vice. President.
For the courteous treatment of
your message and the kind personal
expressions thank YOU.
Having been present at that great
convention, can more truly estimate
the honor its action has conferred.
1T. was the greatest and most earn
est convention in the history of our
party. 1t was closer and more in
touch with the people. The delegates
were there to voice the sentiments of
their constituents, the people of the
party, for the people of the party con-
trolled and conducted that conven-
ton.
'"The Democrats of our country rea-
lie that all the great principles of our
party are as potent and essential to
the well being of the country to-day
as they have always been, and as they
ever will be; but tie overshadowing
issue before the country now, made
dominant by the distressed condition
prevailing throughout the land, is the
demand for reform in our
EXISTING MONETARY SYSTEM.
"Our party, and we believe a great
majority of the American people, are
convinced that the legislation of 1878
demonetizing silver was wrong in
fiicted upon our country which should
and must be righted. We believe
that the single gold standard has so
narrowed the base of our monetary
structure that it is unstable and I'M
safe (; and so dwarfed it, in its develop
ment and in its power to furnish the
necessary financial blood to the nation
that commercial and industrial par
alysis has followed.
owe believe that we need, and
must have the broad and expanding
foundation Of gold and silver 10 sup
port monetary system strong and
stable, capable of meeting the de-
mands of growing country and an
Industrious, energetic and enterpris-
ing people; a system that will not be
weakened and panic stricken by every
foreign draft upon us, system that
will maintain parity of just values
in the nations money and protect us
from the frequent fluctuations of to-
day, so disastrous to every industry of
the land.
"We demand the free coinage of
silver, the opening of our minis to
both money metals without discrim-
ination, the return to the money OF
our fathers, the money Of the consti-
tuition, gold and silver.
"We believe this Is the remedy and
the only remedy, for the evil that is
now so fast devastating and impover-
ishin, our land and people, bringing

SYNDICATE OF CoUNTERFEIrERs
Confession OF Man Who Was Converted
at Revival

III ii lNcNlNal
The federal authorities at Waco. Texas
have discovered a counterfeiting system
of large proportions, and have captured a
complete outfit for the manufacture Of
bogus silver dollars in imitation of the
United states coins of that denomina-
ton. The first clew vas furnished by
Edward Ennis, who attended Il revival
meeting. and after protesting conversion
arose in the congregation and stated that
he was n cOunterfeiter.
The arrest of Ennis was followed bv the
arrest of John Mitchell and II. :. Shan
non. When the prisoners were arraigned
Ennis repeated his confession and gave
details which led to the finding of the
camp near Hill county. at which place
the metal, molds, rollers and crucibIes
were scattered around like common pots
and pans.
Ennis told Commissioner Fink that
seven factories for the manufacture of the
spurious coin existed in the United
States. The syndicate was called the
Royal Manufacturing Company. 1t is
stated by Ennis that agencies of the
counterfeiting corporation exist in Can
ada and Mexico He also said that oper-
ations are going on in New York and
Chicago.
y consignment of 1000 Mexican dol
lars was received in Waco few months
ago, it is said, and was us I'd in the man
ufacture of the spurious coins Another
consignment of ten thousand Mexican
dollars arrived IL few weeks ago, but was

50 A MONSTER SEARCH Hight.
The. Biggest..ssRay Protector Ever Con
structed


The largest, if not the most powerful
searchlight ever made in this part of the
world was tested in New York few nights
ago. 1t had been constructed there and
was being tested prior to its Journey to
Kansas City, where it will astonish the
plainsmen for miles around
This monster light, says the New York
Herald, although never measured accu-
rately, has more than one million proiec-
tive candle power, and at the test threw
beam distance of twelve miles, while
to those who stood behind it objects were
plainly visible ten miles away.
@Placed on high building like the Mad
ison Square tower, or one of. the "sky-
scrapers' in the lower part'of the CITY.
the light would be visible as fal. as the
eye could see, distance of twenty miles
or so. 1t is not so large or powerful as
the searchlght at the Worlds Fair. but
that was made abroad, and is too I'M
wieldy for anything but shore use
This new light is probably two inches
greater in diameter than those in use on
the largest war ships, and its beam is
powerful enough to penetrate the most
powerful fog more than 1000 feet, vet it
weighs but 200 pounds.
The lamp is cylindrical in shape, thirty
inches in length and twenty six inches in
diameter. Its lens mirror weighs fifty
pounds, and the glass was brought from
Europe and ground in Rochester. 1t is
one inch in thickness at the centre and
one and three-quarter inches at the edges.
Mr.. +. Planto, superintendent of the
company which made the lamp, says that
besides the great power the feature of
the lamp is the automatical arrange
ments by which the carbons are fed.
When the current of 100amperes is turn.
ed into the lamp small portion of it is
turned into a magnet. This draws the
carbons apart, forming an arc.
Through this arc of vaporized carbon
the immense light is produced, and as
the carbons are gradually consumed
gravity brings the upper rod close to the
lower one. The magnet automatically
maintains the distance between the car
bons and keeps the length of the arc uni
form.
The beam starts from the lamp with II
thickness of twenty-siX inches, and it's
spread is so gradual that at point five
miles away so little is lost that buoys can
be seen and the course of schooner can
be made out when ten miles distant.
