MR., 6EWAlL'S ACCEPTANCE.
sOnly by Continuing the Gold Standard
Can Sectionalism be Revived"

Chu SectlOnullsm De HevlVeu.
BATH, Me-, Oct. Hon Arthur Sewall
Democratic candidate for vice president Of
the United States, last night made public
his letter of acceptance. In it he says:
lam glad to express my satisfaction that
the platform of our party, which has com
manded my lifelong allegiance, is hon
estly and fully declaratory of all its prin-
ciples and especially of the absorbing
financial issue, upon which, as you say, l
took my stand when the hours Of triumph
seemed remote, and when arrogant money
changers throughout the world boosted
that the conquest of tho American masses
was completed
"These principles have been Of late In
allegiance, but only because those whom we
trusted to maintain them have failed to
do so. These principles can never die. We
have rescued our party from those who,
under the influence Of the money power,
have controlled and debased it. Our mis-
sion now is to rescue from this same power
and its foreign allies our own beloved
country.
ave are told that the country has pros
pered under the present monetary stan d,
ard, that its wealth has enormously in
creased. Granted but, in whose hands? In
the hands of the factors of the nation $
wealth in peace, its defenders in war? Have
they the prosperity which was theirs so
late as even twenty years ago9 deny 1t.
They deny it. None affirm it save those
whose interests it Is to do SO, whose profit
would diminish as prosperity returns to
those on whose distress they thriveP
1.-THE best money in the world is none
too good for those who have got it, but
how is it with the 80 per cent of our
people who have got it to get?' How is
it with those who must buy this best
money in the world with the products of
their own labor? These are tho people for
whom the Democratic party would legis-
late.
mot by our policy, but only by the con-
tinuance of the gold standard can section
alism be revived Neither shall our oppo-
nents be permitted to terrify the people by
predictions that temporary disturbances
or panic will come from tho policy we pro-
pose. The American people will be loyal
to the nations money, will stand behind
it and maintain it at whatever value they
themselves may put upon it.
I'eiiihu tne surOuS eHlrcHcIliiicHu VI
the gold standard arc gathered all those
favored classes it has fostered, the only
dangerous classes of the land. Avarice
and unholy greed are there, every trust
and combination is there. Every monop-
oily is there led by the greatest monopoly
of all, the monopoly of the power of gold.
With us in our assault upon these en-
trenchments are all these unsellish who,
not now suffering themselves cannot rest
content with conditions so full of suffer-
ing for Others"

The Florida Election.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 7.-Scattering re-
turns from all parts of the state show
Democratic majorities in every county,
but afford no basis for an estimate of
Bloxham's plurality for governor. No
comparison Of precincts can be made with
1892, inasmuch as in that year the Repub-
licans had no ticket in the field. In most
of the precincts heard from Sheats, Demo-
cratic candidate for superintendent Of
public instruction, runs far behind Blox-
ham. Because of the Australian ballot
system tine counting of the votes will be
very slow. Chairman Rawls, of the DEM
ocratic state committee, estimates Dlox-
hams plurality at $4,000.

GORMAN IN THE CAMPAIGN.
The Maryland Senator Speaks for Bryan
and Sewall.

LAUREL, Nd, Oct. IA big crowd,
numbering about :, 500 assembled here last
night drawn chiefly by the announcement
that Senator German would make his In.
itial speech OF the campaign. They were,
however, disappointed as the Maryland
senator made no attempt at a set speech,
but confined himself to few appropriate
remarks and then introduced the speakers
of the evening
In the course of his remarks Senator
German said that the time had now ar
rived when the rights of the masses Of the
people should be cootonded for, against
the encroachments Of corporate greed.
I'VE have said he, submitted our
views to court of last resort, court
elected by the people and controlled by
the people, the convention held at Chicago,
and nothing is left for honest Democrats
to do but bow to the will Of the people.
"We have a candidate Of the people and
for the people and all Democrats will sup
port him because of what he stands for.
He was also nominated by band of hon
est Republicans who believe in the United
States controlling her own financial
policy. Our candidate Is cordially sup
poitcu by tho OpuHSIS DcCuuoo AAS eso-~S
for the rlghts of the people.
Against us We have the great organic.
alton, the Republican party, led by
Hanna, run by Hanna, and some say
bought by Hanna. They have suborned
themselves and become the tools of the
money changers Of London. They have
some comfort from men who have worn
the mask of Democracy, but these have
thrown aside the mask and gone over to
the common enemy. Let them go! They
are now where they belong"
Senator German concluded by saying
thas nothing would prevent Maryland
from casting her vote for Bryan and
Sewall. Senator Stewart was then intro
duced, and spoke at length on the fnan-
cial issue. He was followed by A. A.
Lipscomb Of Virginia, and Robert Moss,
the local candidate for congress.

a Mexican was condemned to death

by party of soldiers, received a volley
OF bullets at close range, and was left
for dead. AS soon as the soldiers had
gone he sprang to his feet and walked
to the City of Mexico, many miles away,
where he entered hospital. The doc
tors found three rifle bullets imbedded
in his skull, but he was not fatally in
jured. Now the authorities of the town
which ordered him executed want him
back in order to shoot him again.
But he objects. He argues that if sub

endangered. There is logic in that
