Both Of the old parties are now
very much divided and deworalized .
They are charging each other with
trying to sell out tho party. This is
all due to the division of the old

cessful consummation, will nightly
affect the political destinies of that

brief, Is to break up and DESTROY the

In 1894 the political supremacy
which the Democrats had enioyed
for nearly a quarter of a century,
The plan projected now is to bring
back the Populists into the Demo.

We do not know where the Post

is certain; its informant was badly

Peoples party in North Carolina,
who left and repudiat.d the Demo-
bratic party On account of its deser-
ton OF principle, will never 90 back

knows, and every sane man knows,
that every President that may here
after be elected, either by the Dem

will be of the same stripe, il not

men who are opposed to the present
hard times, and oppression Of the
British gold trust, to stay in the
Democratic partvf When he gives
such advice, he deliberately advises
the very course that he knows will
DO sure TO mean the success Of the
goldbugs, and the defeat and oppres-
sion of the people.
He knows that a very large major
ity Of the voters of this country are
opposed to the single gold standard,
and that If their votes could be uni
ted they could elect an Ameri-
can patriot for President, and that
hard times would vanish. He knows
that the silver Republicans of the
West will no more go into the Demo
cratic party than the silver
Democrats of the South will 60
into the Republican party. There
fore, he knows that the only way to
unite the people against the COM
mon enemy is for them to leave and
repudiato the two goldbug organiza-
tons, and to Join on middle ground
with the Peoples Party in making
square fight for the principles of

New YORK, March l6.-The

the efforts Of the Spanish consuls,

in the face Of the loss of the steam
ship j. w. Hawkins, off Long
Island and the seizure by United
States marshals of the steamship
Bermuda, the Cubans in this vicin-
ity have now, upon the sea, bound
for the island, whose freedom is
the one thought of their lives, that
idential cargo Of ammunition on
board the same steamship.
On another vessel, it is under
stood, are score or more of men,
who are to be transferred to the
Bermuda somewhere on the high
seas. The Bermuda left New York
harbor yesterday morning. Itwas
shortly after s o'clock when she got
up her anchor, 10 o'clock when she
passed Sandy Hook, and about the
noon hour when she distanced
the fleet Of newspaper tugs that
followed her to sea.
The air was filled with rumors
yesterday. Thomas Estrada Palma
has disappeared from town and
General Calixto Garcia left his
home early in the morning and had
not returned at a late hour last
night. The report that they had
sailed for Cuba and that it was the
intention Of the patriots to perfect
the system Of government in Cuba
In order to induce a more sub
stantial support from other coun-
tries, including the United States,
than that OF more sympathy.
No law of this country prohibit
ted the vessel from losding her
decks down to the waters edge
with gunpowder and arms for the
insurgents in Cuba, and in all 40
tons of ammunition and guns were
placed on board the Bermuda and
also several cases containing dyna-
mite.

apah, 1. T. Cherokee Bill, during
this raid killed Earnest Melton.
Bill was arrested and locked up at
Fort Smith and in due time was
convicted and sentenced to death.
While he was confined there he
killed a jsiler. For this he was
also tried and sentenced to death.
His lawyer, William M. Twins,
appealed both cases to the United
States Supreme court. on Deem
Der %, the court affirmed the first
case and it is for this crime that
Bill will he hanged. The second
case has not been taken up and II
the man is hanged before 1t Is, his
death will be reported to the court
and his case dropped.
Cherokee Bill, or Crawford
