HE is THE VERY flAN p
We're the Words Miss Oracle Powers Used in
Identifying Her Assailant-He Is Now
in the City Prison.

HE is the very man. exclaimed Miss
Oracle Powers yesterday morning when
brought face to face with Frank Battle,
a mulatto negro, who had been arrested
by officers Disheroon and Ellard.
1t will be remembered that about ten
days ago, just after dusk, Miss Powers
was assaulted by a negro, who attempt
ed to rob and possibly otherwise abuse
her. She called for assistance and the
negro made off. Officers Disheroon and
Ellard attempted at the time to capture
him, but without success. They were on
the lookout for him, however, and Tues
day night were successful. He is now in
the city prison.

is usually mighty clear.
-Congreesman McCreary is coming

members OF the same great party in a
spirit of fairness and conservatism

sound money, but no man is greater than
his party and whether it decides in State

as the free silver men believe, we will be
found supporting the candidate and the
platform, surrendering no conviction,
however, but satisfied that any democrat
on any platform is better than the best

to tear his shirt or get excited. Let us
come together as brothers should and get

THE free silver freaks are determined
TO do by calumny and abuse that which
they can not accomplish by other dis
reputable means. They charge that
Secretary Carlisle advocated free silver in
1878 and in 1890 voted for free -coinage
amendment to the Window bill. The
first charge has been exploded, but he
did vote for the Window bill for reasons
and under circumstances that should
have won him the lasting gratitude OF
every democrat and every patriot. 1t
was to retain the support OF the free sill
yer republicans and to get their help to
defeat the infamous force bill, designed
to enslsve the South for years. German
voted the same way, but no faint OF free
silver has ever furnished his garments.
An indignation meeting was talked OF by
Germans Baltimore constituents, but be
told them II would have voted to make
copper the money OF the land rather than
to have that Force bill passed. 1t would
have ruined the South for years.
told Carlisle before he went South to tell
bis people in Kentucky what ! told my
people in Maryland. Anybody who had
grain OF patriotism would have voted
for anything to have defeated such an
outrageous measure, which we succeed
ed with the free silver republicans help
in defeating" Another lie, which is also
sent out in an anonymous circular, is that
Mrs. Carlisle pays taxes on s625, 900 worth
of property and that that makes Mr.. Car
Isle a sound money man. This is even
more recklessly false than many OF the
other charges. Neither Mr.. Carlisle nor
bis wife hes more than a decent living.

We expected some little jacEass, with
no larger idea OF democracy than that it
means the abuse of the members OF the
opposing party, would judge US by his
own little self and pick some excuse to
say that we had become defender of
Gov. Bradley's administration, since he
appointed us to a little trusteeship of a
reform school, but really We thought
better OF Green Denham, OF the Will
lismsburg Times. In fact, we thought
surely that he had intelligence and
manliness enough to be above cast
ing low flung slur. But it seems that
we were mistaken. Please note once for
all that We defend no governor who
abuses the psrdoning or any other pow
err We simply published q statement
made by the Louisville Commercial from
the record, as it claimed, and never con-
tradicted, that Gov. Bradley had not
granted more pardops since he came into
office than Buckner and Brown did for
the same time, yet he and all pardoned
too much. II this be treason, make the
most OF it. Furthermore, We intend to
treat Gov. Bradley fairly, reserving our
God given privilege to commend him
when we think he deserves it and to
condemn him when his acts appear to
need it, no matter what little so-called
democratic editors may publish in their
thumb papers.
