pArERsoN's MuRDnn MYSTERY.

Apparently No Chance OF Finding the Muir
derer of Miss Mary sullivan.
Paterson, March 16.--The theory that
was murdered by man wearing a long
gray ulster has been exploded, and the
authorities seem to be further away
than ever from clearing the mystery
surrounding the crime. j. p. Devine,
provision dealer of 776 Madison ave-
nue., this city, told the authorities yes
terday that ne was the man who wore
the ulster on the Wednesday night
when Miss Sullivan was murdered. He
was seen by Olaf Peterson, who was
regarded as an important witness. Pc
terson says he is the man.
Devine says that the reason he did
not make his identity known before
was because he did not like to be drag
ged into the case. His reputation is
good. and the hopes of the authorities
of proving the murderer wore an old
gray ulster are crushed. lie told the
authorities yesterday that he was hur-
rying from the home of a relative, and
that he had not seen any suspicious
person about the spot where Miss Sui
Ivan was murdered.
Mrs. Kate Kerwin. mother-in-law of
Devine. says that on the night before
the murder. while she was walking
home. a. man stepped from behind a
tree and followed her. She said he
watched her closely as if he was trying
to recognize her Mrs. Kerwin's APP
pearance is like that of the murdered
girl, and she thinks the man was
watching for Miss Sullivan on Tuesday
evening as well as on Wednesday night.
The police, however. do not attach
much Importance to this story.
The inquest win be resumed on We'd
nesday, but the chances are that a
verdict that Miss Sullivan was muir
dered by some unknown person will be
rendered. The Sullivan family is pre-
pairing to move to Philadelphia.

In the canvass for the Republican
nomination to the governorship, which
has been going on for some time. with
Mr. Sticllney and Mr.. Grout as the lead
ing candidates, it is evident that within
a few days Mr.. Grout has gained in the
race by the addition to his forces of the
purchasable press aud Of active workers
throughout the State who are known as
dispensers of money to pack cSucuses
or control elections. OF the candidates
named, Mr.. Stckney Is, we think, the
more popular with the people, but we do
not expect him to succeed in the canvass
in the face of lavish use of money by
his opponent. 1t is quite probable. how
ever, THAT the people will take the mat
ter into their own hands and select an en-
tirely new candidate. The name of eX-

A MUCH-NEEDED LAW.

New York and some other States have
enacted laws requiring candidates for
public olliceI to render under oath an
itemized account of all money spent by
them.in the canvass. 1t is high time we
had such a law in Vermont, and it
shouldiapply to the canvass for the nom
inatiOn as well rs to that for the election.
Nominations are secured altogether too
frequently through tine use of money, and
unless proper means are taken to stop the
practice we shall have the spectacle Of
our chief State offices, and especially
the governorship, going to the highest
bidder. We believe that the people will
apply the remedy, and that promptly, if
only their attention is called 10 the sub
iect. The more quickly we get back to
the old Vermont custom of permitting
the people to select their candidates for
office the more creditable it will be to
the State.

earnest phase than at present. Indeed,
we shall expect to see it become, before
long, the dominant expression of the
party.
The following is the record of Mr.. Nc
kinley upon this money question, taken
from recent editorial in the New York
World:
The Republican party is soen TO nominate
william Mckinley Tor president What IS his
record on the money question?
In 1877 he voted with Mr.. Bland for the pas
sage OF a silver free coinage bill.
In 1878 he voted to pass the Bland.A Allison
silver coinage bill over the veto of the Re-
publican President Hayes.
In lSSS, as chairman of the committee on
resolutions in the national convention OF his
party. he repoite a platform which declared
that 1.-THE Republican party is in favor OF the
use OF both gold and silver as money, and
condemns the policy OF the Democratic ad
ministraton in its efforts to demonetize
silver"
In 1890 he supported and voted tor the
silver purchase act, passed, as senator
sherman confessed in his Memoirs, because
IT was not deemed safe to send free
coinage act t. President HarrisOn-anOther
Republican. In advocating this bill Mckin-
ley said; I'VE cannot have free coinage now
except In the manner provided in the bill.
To defeat this bill means to defeat all SILVER
legislation and to leave us with two millions
a month only, when by passing this bill we
would have four and n half millions month
of treasury notes as OOd rs gold"
And tnis very year the ohio Republicans
adopted resolution, approved il not writ
ten, bv Mckinley, affirming the power OF this
country alone to sustain a double standard
"by legislation" failing to secure an inter
national agreement.

The REPUBLICAN PARTY AND BlMETAL.


The REPUBLICAN PARTY AND BlMETAL-
LlSM.
struggle Is going on in the Repub-
lican party between the forces of BIZ
metallism and the single gold standard
Perhaps a majority of State conventions
in their platforms indirectly, if not di-
rectly, counsel acquescence with the
present condition of the finances and
thus assert that they are satisfied with
that condition. We doubt very much
the wisdom of this course. 1t is barely
possible that the people will submit to it,
or be mlsled by it, one campaign more.
But this is doubtful. and it is certain
that they cannot endure it for any great
time longer.
This country must pronounce soon and
decisively for bimetallsm or for a gold
standard of money, or else 1t must de-
termlne to discard metallic money and
use in its place some other material. 1t
is impossible for the present conditions
of the finances to continue very much
longer.
1t looks now as if the forces at work
would nominate Mr.. Mckinley as the
candidate of the Republican party for
president. Mr.. Mckinley in his public
record has always sustained bimetalllsm,
and there is no reason to believe, at
least none that has been made public,
that he has changed his opinions upon
this subject. Such being the fact, the
great drift of popular opinion in his
favor is, to say the least, very strong
evidence that large majority of the Re-
publican party are bimetalists. This,
we believe, will be demonstrated more
fully little later, when this feeling in
the party Will take upon itself far more
