SEWALL Is A
REAL GOLDBUG.
LIKE ALTGELD AND STEW
ART, HE WILL NOT AC-
CEPT SILVER MONEY.
HE'SNOT IN BUSINESS FOR FUN
He is Willing to Pay Silver to
His Creditors, But Binds his
Debtors to Supply "GOld
Or Its Equivalent

Mr.. Sewall recently took the con-
tract for carrying four shiploads of
timber from Maine to Long Island
City for the big oreosoting firm of
Eppinger & Russell. The Democratic
candidate for vice-president proved
that he confined his silver ideas to
the domain of theory by insisting
upon gold clause of which the fol-
lowing is quoted as the exact Ian
guage:
The party ofthe secondpart agrees
to pay to said party of the .1frStpart,
or agent, for the transportation Of
said timber - dollars, and -
cents, United States gold, or ats
equivalent.
A short time ago the firm adver-
tised for bids for the carrying of the
four shiploads OF timber above re-
ferred to. The lowest bid was from
Mr.. Sewall's firm, and the contract
was promptly awarded. Mr.. Sewall
presented his form of contract for
the signature of the firm. What was
the surprise of Messrs. Eppinger &
Russell upon noting the ironolad, Or
rather goldclad, clause.
A visit was made to the Long Is
land City Works for glance at the
contracts. The manager OF the works
declined to discuss them, but said
they were at the New York offices of
the firm. A
When a Tribune reporter visi
the offices of the firm in the MOI
building, at Broad and Beav, stl
New York, he found Mr.. n
he Tribune reporter exp
ssion and said he would
glance at the interesting
AT first Mr. Eppinger was din
No laugh the matter off as a jok9gs
THE CONTRACT ADMITTED.
Mr.. Eppinger, after further conn
versstion reluctantly limited that
Mr.. Sewall had demanded to be paid
in United States gold or its equlva-
lent, and added, as if annoyed:
81 don't know how this got about,
I am sure"
MIR. Eppinger refused positively to
exhibit the quartet of interesting con
tracts and indeed refused to talk
further, after saying:
81 don't want to get mixed up in
this. He amt going to be elected
and that's all care about
This discovery that Mr.. Sewall is
in practice an arch gold bug is not
going to lessen the embarrassment of
the Popoorats in their dealing with
Populiste. The latter have found
Mr.. Sewall's connections with a Ma
tional bank an almost insurmouutable
objection to fusion. But when the
"Pops" learn that Mir. Sewall is a
silverito for purposes of political
martyrdom only, they may be ex-
pected to retreat quickly to the mid
die of the road, encouraged by reiu-
venated war whoops from "Tom'
Watson.

Muncic, Ind, and the Monongahela Tin

promptly admitted and were closeted
with the executive committee FOR some
time Tho question OF the temporary
organization was under discussion.
The two committees were together
for un hour and II half VIXEN the silver
men withdrew, leaving the national
committeeman to continue their con-
ference
The principal part OF the conference
wns devoted to the selection OF n tenn
1orary chairman and upon this point
no understanding was reached. Chair
man llarrlty stated that he had had no
opportunity for conference with other
members Of the national committee and
he did not feel prepared to Indicate the
policy OF the committee. He said he
would be pleased TO confer with the sill
YER men again and asked them to meet
the committee next Monday. II not
before, by which time he hoped 10 be
able TO speak authoritatlvely. IIe said
he had no candidate, but declined to
say whether the committee would be
disposed TO act upon their own rcspon-
slbllity or accept the advice OF the Sill
yer men.
The silver men were not precisely
pleased with this statement, but there
was nothing for them to do but to nc-
cept the situation ~ II presented itself,
This they did but without making their
position very clear. All tho Visitors
talked and all agreed In making It
clear that they would expect to be con-
suited and ,also that In case Of failure
TO consult them and the selection Of
presiding officer whose Viewa were not
In harmony with those OF the majority,
they would be heard from In the con-
VGntlon. This was spoken In courteous
language, but It was put SO plainly that
the members Of the executive commit
tee did not fall to comprehend Its full
Import.
The silver men also stated that they
would be satisfied with and would ac-
ccpt any man designated by the ma
tIonal committee provided he was a
man Of recognized standing In the
party and that he was u man whose
Views were understood everywhere to
be In accord with their own on the
financial question. ~
Mr.. Harrity and his associates listen
ed patiently to an this. but gave no
sign OF any inclination to yield to the
request, nor indeed any as to what
course they would pursue, further than
that outlined In Mr.. lfarrlty'a prellml-
nary statement.

MAY BE PARDONED.
Has Served Ten Years for Killing
 Man Who Insulted Her.

TOPEKA, Sept. 12.-Mary Frielings, of Cowley county, has an exceptionally good outlook for pardon. She has already served ten years for shooting John tNoeIla and the board of pardons today recommended that the remain ing five be remitted. The only actual crime of which Mrs. Frielings was guilty was the preservation of her self-respect Noella took occasion to address insulting remarks to her while she had shotgun in her hands and ing him instantly.
 Mrs Frielings is a German, and is now 65 years old. In 1886 she was liv- ing with her husband on a Cowley county farm, the property of John Mo- ella The landlord had endeavored re- peatedly to pay attentions to his ten ants wife, but she refused every ad- vance. Meeting Mrs. Frielings one afternoon in a lonely lane Noella ad- dressed an indecent remark to her. She had shotgun in her hands, and turning the muzzle towards Noella she pulled the trigger. The landlord s stomach was perforated and he died in half an ihour. Mrs. Frielings was sentenced to fifteen years in the peni- tentiary. Her punishment already seems excessive, so her friends exerted l themselves to procure a pardon. Fav- orable action was taken by the board but Governor Morrill, has not yet acted in the matter.
