Senator 1iftmam Preparing for the Com
ing Campai0n.

tSB OuWpdtyns
NEW YORK, N. Y, April IA Journal
special from Columbia, S. c., says: Sena-
tor Tillman was in the city yesterday
working for an amalgamation of the silver
forces in the coming election. He believes
the silver advocates in both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties will vote for
the candidate on the silver platform His
object is to see that the South Carolina
Democratic convention leaves him free to
bolt in the National convention if elected
as a delegate. He believes that the Chicago
convention will have majority of dele
gates favoring silver platform, and he is
afraid that the gold minority, if it remains
in the convention, will temper the action
of the body sufficiently to get up weak
candidate on the silver issue. He con-
tends that if the Democrats nominate a
positive" man on free silver platform
the silver and Populist convention at st.
Louis would indorse him. The chances
are ten to one, he declares, in favor of the
nomination OF Mckinley. and about the
only way of defeating him is by consoli-
dation of the silver forces.

CRISP md HOKE SMITH.
They Renetc Their Joint Debate on FL
nancidL Issues.


nanciat Issues.
NEWMAN, GA, April The Joint de-
bate to-day between ex-Speaker Crisp and
Secretary Hoke Smith was very much in
line of the meeting at Augusta. The
crowd was large and estimated to be 10 to
l for silver. Secretary Smith made a
vigorous speech and awakened consider
able enthusiasm toward the last.
Crisp, defending his acts as Speaker of
the House. said he had cast deciding vote
and saved silver bill from being tabled
while he was in the chair. He stated that
in appointing the Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures in 1893 he selected
majority of free-coinage men. After
ward one of those who had spoken for and
voted for free silver and was supposed to
be strong in the faith changed his views
for some reason.
"But it is popular in some localities to
change their views on the financial oues-
tion,'' he said. "a man may declare for
one thing in 1890, another in 1894, and in
1896 go directly contrary. Where he will
be in 1898 the Lord only knows"
Smith explained his 1894 speech from
which Crisp had quoted him as saying:
''The single gold standard will contract
the currency, check industry and turn
honest men out of employment"
'If the gentleman had read you thst
speech" he said, "you would have seen
that | spoke of the single gold standard
in the common application of the word in
the way you understand it, when only
gold is used as money!

LINCOLN, NEBR., April 7.-Governor
Hoicomb to-day gave to the press letter
of recent date from Senator w. Y. Allen.
in which that gentleman declares he is not
a candidate for the Populist nomination

greatly appreciates the mention of his

other leaders in the Populist ranks more
deserving of the nomination than HIM

NEW YORK, N. Y, April IA Journal
special from Richmond, Va, says: No
woman can hold public Office in Virginia,
it matters not how unimportant the posi-.
ton may be. Superintendent of Public
Institutions ]. E. Massey has just decided,
in the case of Mrs. Fanny Baggey, re-
Gently appointed as school trustee of West
Point, that she cannot hold the office. The
opinion is based upon articles of the con-
stitution which provide that any person
shall be eligible to any State, municipal or
county Office who is entitled to vote. AS
there is no woman suffrage in Virginia
Superintendent Massey points out that no
member of that sex is eligible to place of
school trustee, and consequently to any
other public Office.

V|SAL|A OUTLAWS PLOT,
Obie Britt Files an Affidavit
Accusing Lovren and
Ardell.
Swears That They Supplied the
Weapons Which Mccall Carried
to His Death.

VlSALIA, CAL, April THE legal
struggle that bids fair to end in the con-
viction of two accomplices of Dan Mccall,
the outlaw killed while attempting to hold
up Southern Pacific train at Tagus sew
eral weeks ago, will begin on Thursday,
when the preliminary examinations of ST
Lovren and Charles Ardell will take place.
The information upon which the men
were arrested was sworn to before Justice
of the Peace Holder on the Goth of March,
but was not filed until to-day. The affi-
davit of Obie Britt contains the following ::
There we're series of conversations be-
tween myself and Dan Mccall, and my
self and John Haynes, which eliminated
in plot to commit that robbery. 1t was
briefly as follows: Dan Mccall told me
that he was to get guns, which he told me
were to be furnished by Charles Ardell
and Si Loyren. of Visalia, who were to be
interested with us in the way of furnish
ing the guns, and that Billy Ross was to
purchase the ammunition which was to be
used for the guns. John Haynes, in
furtherance of said plan, furnished and
delivered to said Dan Mccall certain
sticks of giant powder on the 18th of
March, 1896, with which to blow open the
safe when such robbery should be COM
mltted. Dan Mccall did bring to our
cabin two revolvers, one shotgun and a
rifle, which he told me came from Charles
Ardell and ST Lovren, and which were
furnished to him for the purpose of COM
mitting the robbery.
"Our intention was first to rob the
nortnbound train, but at Mccall sugges-
ton we concluded to rob the south
bound train. Mccall and myself left our
cabin and walked to Goshen. There
Mccall boarded the south hbound train, in
pursuance of this plot, and l assumed to
board it, but really did not. 1 acted in
the matter in pursuance of instructions
from Sheriff Merritt, communicating to
him the arrangements that were made
from time to time"
