w hAt uF. McNllt1n SayH OF Mr.. Bryant n
Campaign.
Representative McMillin Of Tennessee ar
rived In this city today and was at the
Capitol for a short time. Mr.. McMillin
has hardly recovered from the arduous du-
ties OF the campaign in which he partic-
pated, travelling in a great many states
and speaking in behalf OF the straight
democratic ticket.
Mr. Bryan made a wonderful campaign. -
ne sail to Star reporter. The like of il
mas never been seen in the history of this
country, and 1t Is not over yet Mr. Bryan
and his friends are just as sure that the
principles for which they fought will tri-
umph in the end as they are that the sun
VIII rise tomorrow. Defeat has not damp
ened his ardor for the great cause There
never was a moment when he cared for
personal victory or defeat. His only
thought was for the principles"
Mr.. McMillin expressed the opinion tha I
the Dingley bill would not be passed al
this session of Congress. He said he was
unable to see any chance for it, and that
II the republican party desired additional
tariff legislation it would have to get IT
when 1t came into full power.

KILLED HIS FRIEND.
Charles III. Elliott Minutely Describes
the Tragedy.

OMAHA, Neb., November 23.-Charles III.
Elliott, now I'm the Douglass county Jail.
has confessed to the murder of Gay Hut
son-Piller, his friend, in the Windsor Ho-
tel here last Tuesday. His confession COW
ers twenty type-written pages. He says
Hutson-Piller was about TO leave for Mon
tana and continued: 81 owed him sl5 and
wanted him to sign a receipt for IT, and he
would not. 1 told him j would not pay un-
less he did. He called me a fool. and said
he would take ii out of my hida."
Elliott tn n picked up coupling pin and
struck his friend, and becoming alarmed a [
his hard breathing, went to drug store
and bought fifteen cents worth OF chloro-
form. saturated towel with Il, and put ii
over Hutson-Piller's face. Elliott then left
the hotel and took the Northwestern train

OF bonds, but that such issue should not
exceed the assests in the case OF either
company, and no such issue should be
ness Of the companies already in existence.
What Might Be Done.
He then proceeded to show what an easy
thing 1t would be for the majority stock
holders, who control the management Of
the companies, to purchase the receivers
certificates In case such were issued to
meet the expenses of equpping the roads,
and then manage them after they were so
equipped in such a manner as to make the
equipment failure, and thus force sale
OF the roads and become their owners to
the absolute exclusion of the bondholderS
and the minority stockholders. Justice Cox
said that he did not undertake to say such
was the design of the majority stockhold-
ers, but 1t could be seen that the tempta-
uons 10 adopt such course would be very
great. He then overruled the request for
the authority asked by Receiver Schoepf in
the case of both companies and concluded
by remarking, shortly: THE only thing /
can see in the future for these roads is the
discharge of the receiver and decree for
their SALE"
The Future Briefly Outlined.
The attorneys for the bondholders were
evidently very much gratified over the de-
cision of Justice Cox, and Receiver Schoepf
said that he had expected 1t. The reporter
of The Star, who was present during the
proceedings. asked several Of the parties
interested II, in their opinion, the course
indicated by Justice Cox in his closing
words would be taken. and If a motion
would be made to discharge the receiver
and procure a decree fol the sale of the
roads. The general impression was that
no such course would be followed, but that
the owners of the Majority of the stock of

certificates, and by their aid TO eventually
gain complete possession of the properties

measures to relieve the claims upon the
roads, take them out of court and under
take themselves the improvement of the
lines without trying further to force the
bondholders to foot the bills

The free silver men who bolted the re.
publican national convention are now
! busy trying TO capture the democratic
party. There are democrats who are
favorable to surrender, and to permitting
/ % seceders from the republican party to
dictate the course of tho democratic
party.
! If they succeed, they will find there are
/ democrats who do not regard themselves
as chattels to be transferred as the wish
es of people within the party having
! special interests to serve might dictate.
| There is no organization which has In Its
keeping the political conscience of any
man whose political action is guided by
his sense of right. Party organization Is
a medium through which a man expresses
/ his views more forclbly than he could us
an individual. When the organization
does violence to his convictions it is no
longer the instrument through which he
can consclentiously exercise his rights of
citizenship.
Tie fundamental principles of the
democratic party when issues, beyond
that of the limitation of governmental
power, shaped themselves in response to
the needs of the situation, are sound
money and opposition to extending
special privileges to the few at the ex-
pense of the many. Expunge either OF
these principles from democratic creed
and the democratic party is destroyed.
Strike ont sound money and populism
is adopted. Strike out freetrade and
republican doctrine is adopted.
One evil ever attendant upon a party
which is broad in its views and liberal in
its conduct is the opportunity offered for
the injection Of ideas subyersive OF its
principles. The democratic party has no
special mission to perform but becomes
the champion of these things, as they
arise, which are in harmony with its
principles. This wart of special direction,
in the interest OF the larger and better
luea OF unllSlng acllOn through au-
herence TO principle is wise though at
times unsafe. The democratic party be-
came tainted with greehbackism though
at variance with its principles. But it
was evident that persistence in this policy
was impossible if the democratic party
was TO survive, because it was on assault
upon the principles of the party.
The same thing is true of the silver
craze. 1t Is undemocratlc. 1t ie weed
growing upon democratic soil and should
be pluckeG out. Those who remain true
to sound money and opposition to ex-
are conserving the principles of the
democratic party.
