The platform contains these paragraphs:
Resolved, that the republicans of Rhode

believe the continued agitation of what
is called the silver question to be un-
patriotic and destructive Of all the in
terests of industry and commerce. The
existing gold standard is the measure of

the United States have the most cordial

NEwsoM ON THE wARPATH.
The Judge Hot After a Reporter ana
the Chief of Police.

Atlanta. Ca. April 1O.--Judge D. A..
Newsom, who is well known as a local
character. on account OF his propensity
for singing a song he calls THE Lone
Rock by the Sea-" on the streets, Is on the
war path.
To-day he swore out a warrant for Nor
ton Smith, reporter on the Journal,
charging him with criminal libel and other
declares.
The basis Of the action is an article
written by Smith, describing Judge New
SONS appearance in the Kimbail house
lobby with a placard on his coat tail bear.
ing the Inscription Kick me-" The card.
the article stated, caused the Judge to be
assaulted several times from the rear be-
fore he discovered 1t.
Years ago Judge Newsom was ordinary
OF Green county. While a resident OF
that county, he said to-day to the court.
in applying for the warrant, a man kicked
him and he killed him. His name was
Peek, attacked him and he paralyzed him
Tor life. From this Judge Newsom wanted
TO show how deeply he was insulted at
the publication of the article in question.
which he declared was false.
The article originally grew out of
charges of coIwardice and neglect OF duty
preferred by Judge Newsom against Po-
him.
Judge Newsom has also preferred
charges against Chief of Police Connolly
for intercepting a letter mailed by him
TO Chairman Brannan OF the police board
He has also placed this feature Of the
case In the hands Of the postal authorities
and declared that he will have the chief
of police prosecuted for intercepting mail.
Since the commencement of the trouble
the judge has several times appeared on
the streets armed, looking for gore. AS
for himself he says he is ready to die.
He has picked out his coffin, selected his
Shroud at Undertaken Barclays, and
and has written his own obituary and
had his epitaph carved on his tombstone
in anticipation Of a sudden taking off.

sT. LANDRY SERENE.
The Artillery to BE Ordered Home
in N Day or Two.

New Orleans. April 1O.-Advices from
st. Landry parish to-day report all quiet
there The Chicago Associated Press
sent out an extraordinary story last night
from Lafayette, in Vermillion parish, to
the effect that twenty-five negroes were
killed and two white men wounded near
Mallett, in St. Landry, yesterday by DR..
Martins militia; also that DIR. Martin
himself was wounded.
The sole basis for this wonderful story
was the fact as stated in these dispatches
two days ago, that there was a body
of men under DIR. Martin near Mallett,
whose purpose was to overawe the ne
groes by a display of armed men and pre-
vent them from registering, and that a
negro had been shot and wounded and
his horse killed in a shooting scrape,
provoked by a negro The wounding of
this negro two days ago is absolutely
the only shooting which has occurred in
st. Landry recently, but this slight oc-
currence has been magnified by the Chi
cago people into twenty-five dead ne
groes and two whites wounded. DIR. Mar
tin himself returned to his home in Ar
naudville yesterday afternoon, as things
had quieted down, and an agreement had
been reached whereby the white leaguers
disband. The Washington Artillery will
probably be ordered home in a day or
two.
