CamDaign Notes.

Timid people who fear the election of
Bryan and the depreciation of the Amer
lean silver to its bullion value are begin
ming: it is said, to hoard gold This is
tidence in the banks and want their
money in their own possession they can
just as well purchase Mexican or JaDan-
csc silver and hoard that. Neither the
Mexican dollar nor the Japanese ven will
depreclate III value, since their nominal
and actual value are IDENTICAL; they are
worth just what the bullion in them is
worth-nO more and no less.
MIR. Watson, who is one of the NOM
lnees for vice-president with BRYAN. hit
the bulls eye when he said that BRYAN
was TO run the windmill of the cam
palgn, while Sewall was to run the

In contest for the existence of civil

Bourke Cochran.
l.. j. McParlin, in speech made at
LOckport, Pa, said that 100000 men
were thrown out of employment in the
United States by the closing OF the sill
yer mines, in consequence of the crime
of 1873.
No doubt there are multitudcs of peo-
pie who have the same impression, name
ly, that the coinage law of 1873 pat a
stop to silver mining in this country.
1t is important that this utterly false
impression should be corrected The
number of ounces produced in the United
States in 1873 was 63, 267. 600 The aver
age annual product of our silver mines
for the five years following was Ga, 247.-
800 ounces. 1t has risen steadily from
1878, until it is now 100, 000000 ounces.
There was not miner thrown out of en-
ployment by the so-called ''crime Of
1873.
Such rash statements as this by Mr..
McParlin throw fearful discredt on the
sincerity or intelligence of the advocates
Of free coinage, and upon the arguments
advanced by them.

NEW YORK, June pa special from
Vienna says:
The publication here of a warrant is
sued in San Francisco for the arrest of
Joseph Won Blanther, an eX-officer of the
Austrian army, who is supposed to have
murdered a woman named Langfeldt,
had led to the discovery of two photo
graphs of Won 3 ther These photo
graphs, when compared with one of the
murderer which has been received show
that they are not pictures of the same
man. The police here believe that the
murderer, prior to killing Mrs. Langfeldt,
had stolen the papers from the real Won
Blanther, which, being found by the San
Francisco police, led them to believe that
the murderer's true name was Won
Blanther.
Herr Josef Won Blanther is yet remem-
bered in Austrian military circles as
Lieut.. Josef Ritter Won Blanther knight
of the order of the Austrian crown and
of the italian crown. The police of San
Francisco believe that after having COM
mitted the crime he left America and
returned to Austria and the police of
Vienna are now trying to find him. AS a
young officer, at the age of 19, Blanther
served during the occupation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, by the Austro- Hun
garian army in 1878. He had to defend
with his company the position of bat
terry against the attack of the Bosnian
insurgents, who were in superior force.

of the battery We're killed or wounded.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 22-Quite a
large elegation of Democrats came in
today to attend the conventions tomor-
row to be held respectively by the gold
and the silver Democrats, as the repre-
sentatives of the two wings of the party
of the state. There will be two conven-
tions. The silver men on the ground to-
day say they will make no concessions
to any one. The silver men are under
the leadership of Ex-Governor Hogg,
Governor Culberson and ex-United
States Senator John B. Eagan and Sen
ator Horace Chiffon, who will be the
first in order on the Chicago delegation.
Congressman Bailey is also allied with
this faction and will doubtless go as a
delegate. AS to the matter of instruc-
tions, an effort is being made by some
to have an uninstructed delegation, in
the hope that Teller will be in position
by that time to offer some proposition
looking to a fusion, though many are in
favor of straight-out instruction for
Bland.
The gold men. while they have not the
party machinery behind them, are still
sanguine of success at Chicago, and say
they will send their delegations to Chi
cago headed by George Clark and Rufus
Hardy, two gold standard men and
prominent politicians.
The Democratic congressional conven-
ton for this, the ninth, congressional
district met here today and renominat-
ed Joseph d. Sayers. He addressed the
convention and stated he was unequi-

that issue was the only one in which he
differed from Cleveland. He also said
there was no political doctrine that he
would not support rather than see the
