Readers OF the daily papers will recall
without much effort the long series OF
forgeries in the shape of checks, which
annoyed business men and bankers in
this city and surrounding territory for
two months during the late spring and
early part of the summer ,andwhich re-
suited in considerable aggregate loss TO
innocent parties. One OF the last OF
these operations-.f not the very last
was the passing OF a check for $24O on
the Woodsfeld National Bank, the fell
low presenting it asking for forty dol
lars in cash and certificate OF deposit
for 5000. He got what he wanted, and
left for this city, On the same train
with Cashier VIII Mooney, OF the bank.
That same night tine police raided
house on the Island and arrested w. Z.
Carlow. who had the certificate OF de-
post for the 5000 in his possession, as
well as O,her papers which stamped
him IS the criminal. He was commit
ted to Jail, and was indicted at the pres
eat term of the Criminal Court on i've
counts of forgery, and his trial will
come On in few days.
Yesterday two letters were received
in this city, bearing upon the matter,
one by Judge HuguS and the other by
MeSsrs. Dryden & Robinson, the attor-
neys for the defense. Both were dated
P8.tsburg, but the postmark showed
that they were mailed IN this city.
The letter addressed TO Messrs. Dry
den & Robinson was as follows
"PiJtsburg, July 10, 1886.

"P. S.-Have also written TO Judge
Hugus. giving him the facts"
The letter received by Judge Hugus
was something similar in tenor, but was
even stronger in language, and n IL
Che writer stated that the total number
Of forgeries perpeJrated in Ohio and
Yves, Virginia was fifty-four.

port TO be, or they may simply be the

THE MEXICAN DOLLAR OBJECT
LESSON.

With reference to the Mexican dollar
object lesson which the goldites are Offer
ing as an argument to confuse the public
mind, only few words are necessary. A
Mexican dollar is worth just as much as
1t ever was in Mexico. In the United
States 1t is worth only 81 cents. WhyP
Because it is not a legal tender, tnl be-
cause American money has doubled in
value on account of being placed on the
constant increasing gold standard. Re-
suit: Mexico Is enjoying the greatest
prosperity 1t ever had, while the United
States is suffering from an unparalleled
period of hard times. But If Mexico had
been as well worth robbing as the United
States, 1t might find itself similarly
affected with the single standard.

HANNA'S COLLECTION.
The Chairman Secured Ten Million
Dollars In the East to Educate
to the Gold Standard.

New York, August 19.-(Special. y
During his stay in the East, Chairman
Hanna, of the National Republican COM
mittee, received pledges of money aggre-
eating S10,000,000. Never before has
any chairman had such luck In raising a
campaign "slush fund.-" and never before
has Wall street been so responsive. Hanna
came here to collect 100000 In New
York he got 500, 600 in cash and promises
Of 81, 100000 on demand. From New
England million has been pledged, and
about 500, 900 in cash has been turned
into the syndicate treasury. In Phila-
delphia last night Hanna got 5000, 900 for
immediate use, and "Tjm" Dolan and
other members of the Manufacturer's
Club promised 81, 900, 900 more. If neces-
sary to push along the Mckinley cam
paign. Cornelius N. Bliss, the treasurer
of the National Republican committee, is
said to have 81 200, 900 in hand at the
present time.
This money has come from the big
banking houses of New York and from
business men Of all kinds who hope to
profit by MoKinley's election. 1t is to
be used to promote the "campaing OF
education" which Hanna has mapped
out. Twenty millions, or thirty millions,
II necessary, will, 1t is said, be raised for
educational purposes"

WHAT DEMOCRACY STANDS FOR.

The Democratic party stands for the
plain people Of this country against the
pulled up and arrogant plutocrats. They
stand for the toiling masses against the
indolent and selfish Glasses. They stand
as shield for the oppressed against the
opprCssors. They stand for a sound,
honest currency Of gold and silver, the
money of the constitution and Of the
fathers Of the country, against the single
British gold standard, recent heretical
financial depai ture Of the hypocritical Re-
publican party They stand for the ad.
vancement and prosperity of the laborer,
the farmer, the producer, the wage
Garner, the toiler, the mechanic and the
artisan, and their election will herald the
dawning of brighter day in the pros
perity of America.
They stand for the great principles Of
Jefferson, Monroe, jackson, Marcy,
Wright, Seymour and Tilden. They
stand for humanity and all that is
progressive and ennobling in the human
race. They stand for the glory of the old
flag and the integrity of American insti-
tutions; their triumphant election will
be harbinger of another Independence
Day in America from the effete mon
achies Of Europe. They stand as a
bulwark against the Capitalization of
wealth and power and the establishment
of an oligarchy on the ashes of the re-
public that will be the initial movement
leading on to empire. They stand for the
perpetuity Of our institutions and the
abandonment and overthrow of discrim-
mating legislation and class privilege that
has made the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Their elevation will mean the
dawning of a brighter and happier day
in American progress and advancement.

MARK IS A MONKEY
IF HE THINKS HE CAN BUY
POPULISTS LIKE BEEF.
A Man Who is Still on the Inside
Shows Up One of the Schemes of
McKinley's Doodle Collector,
Mark Hanna.

Cleveland, o., August 10. Especial. y
A telegram from Columbus says that the
policy of the Republican party in this
state, under the domination of Marcus
Aurelius Hanna, was given complete
and thorough showing up, through the
revelation of man who has been and
still Is on the inside of the schemes. II
Is the intention Of the Republican man.
ayers and the head men among the bolt
ing gold Democrats to purchase outright,
II possible, the Popullst convention at
Springfield, Auugst 26, and SO shape mat
ters that neither fusion nor other work TO
the advantage Of the Democratic party
will be done. To accomplish this end
money will be spent with reckless liberal
ity and no stone left unturned to accom-
plish the end in view.
The gentleman In question is one of
the leading men In the party, but does not
coincide In all the schemes Of the Hanna
regime. He admits that Hanna is a
better manager OF the campaign than he
should be from his name, but thinks that
he has made many mistakes and will
make more. Among other mistakes to
be made, he enumerates the attempt to
buy the Populist convention. He is
firmly of the belief that while there may
he few men in that party, as in all other
parties, who set gold above principle and
selfish gain above party the most OF them
are men Of upright and honorable minds,
who will not allow themselves to be
bought like hogs in the open market, ia
advance the schemes of set of petty poll
ticians.
Whether or noG this view of the case Ia
the correct one, will be proved by the re-
suit. In the meantime the truth Of his as
sertions is easily obtainable. The utter
and complete failure of the opening meet
ing, which had been advertised and boost
ed far and wide, gave the managers to un-
derstand that unless prompt action was
taken the state was inevitably lost to No
Kinley and the single standard. 1t was
painfully evident that nothing but a
miracle could save the state unless brib-
cry and intimidation could accomplish the
end wanted. A coalition with the Popu-
lists by the Democrats meant that the
death knell'of the Republican party in
this state had been sounded. Another

another convention to nominate another
Democrat. Then, as now, the great oppo-
sition to the ticket came from New York
and nothing would satisfy the maloon-
tents but another Democratic ticket,
After much noise and many threats
another ticket was nominated called the
"Straight-out" Democratic ticket and
Charles O'Connor was nominated for
President. The usual amount Of cleo
tioneering braggadoolo was resorted to
from the "Straight.outs. Great claims
were made what the "Straight-outs" were
going to do, and when the election was
over 1t was found that in New York, the
hot-bed of Straight out" Democracy,
O'Connor had received but 1, ,404 votes.

AND STILL THEY COME.

Another convert to Bryan has been re-
corded. He is not a railroad president, a
street car magnate, = coal king or an iron
baron, but private citizen who, at one
time, was prominent in Republican coun-
ellis. 1t is Hon. Thomas W. Ferry, of
Michigan. He was three times elected
Republican representative in congress
and twice elected a Republican United
States senator, his last term ending In
1888. He was president pro TEN. of the
senate in the forty-third congress. He is
still a Republican, but he will not sanc-
tion by his vote the action of the Repub-
lican national convention in adopting the
gold standard idea.

A local Mckinley organ says the rail.
road men of this country are mostly for
Mckinley. We do not know who you
meant by railroad men. If you mean
presidents, secretaries, treasurers, super,
intendents, ETC., then you are right, but
II you mean the employees, the men who
earn their bread 10y the sweat of their
brows, then you are wrong. These men
are against, Mckinley because he stands
on a gold standard platform and they
will vote for Bryan and Sewall ON election
day.
