State Treasurer Phillips today made the

charges made by Freeman Knowles:
&C. e. Hayward, Esq. Garden City, Clark

Dear Sir-Replying to yours of the 18TH
In which you ask for information as to a
statement made by Freeman Knowles in a
speech, made in your city, in which he
stated that at the time of the issue of $780,
600 of state funding warrants l deposited
$4,000 in the banks of Deadwood, and that
before the state received one solitary cent
OF benefit from the above warrants 1876, ,OO0)
| had paid $4,000 interest money.
There is not word of truth in the
statement The facts of the matter are as
follows: on February Q. 1895. this Office nego-
tiated the sale of S25, 900 of funding war
rants with the American National bank of
Deadwood, and the funds we're placed to
my credit as state treasurer on February II,
1895. There were warrants registered and
not paid for want of funds at that time S46,-
S35.7S. On receipt OF the above funds regis
tered warrants to the amount OF S25OOO
were Immediately called for payment, at
which time interest ceased.
"On February Ia, 1895, this Office nego-
tiated tie sale of $50. 900 of state funding
warrants with the FIRST NatlOnal Dank or
Deadwood. The funds were placed to our
credit February %, 1895 At that time the
total amount of warrants registered and not
paid for want of funds was S63 06S.O9. On

called for payment.

the total amount of funding or revenue
warrants outstanding at the present time is
$3.50 900, which become due and payable on
December 81 1896, and April l, 1897, for

RENouNCES CHICAGO PLATFORM
senator Smith Of New Jersey Resigns

Scnntor Smith of New Jersey Resigns
from Democratic Committee.
LONG BRANCH, n. j., Sept. 1S.-Unted
States Senator James Smith, jr., of New
Jersey chairman of the state democratic
committee, gave out today the following
statement regarding his attitude to the Chi
cago platform: The lines upon which the
present political campaign is being con-
Quoted and the Interpretation of the Chicago
platform by the New Jersey democratic con-
vention held to select electors are in oppo-
sition to views which have expressed when
called upon to speak on financial questions
in the senate. My desire has been to find
way to harmonize these views with the
platform declaration and to harmonic my
individual opinion with the expression OF
the party councils. With these objects in
mind / have given the questions at issue
careful consideration. The result is | find
my mind agreeing with the course | took
in the senate as the only one consistent with
sound financial policy This conclusion be-
ing fixed, it then necessarily follows that I
should not participate In the direction OF
the campaign as a member of either the
national or state committees. Justice to the
candidates demands that their cause be in
the hands of those who are without doubt
as to the correctness of the policy proposed
by every plank in the platform | have,
therefore. decided to resign from any lead
ing position in the political management of
the campaign. In doing this, / am governed
by sense of propriety and not by an in
tention to set up my personal views against
the expressed policy of my party. But, as
a democrat. obedient to party | must and
do bow to the will Of the majority and un-
hesitatingly express my belief that the peo-
pie may safely trust democratic president
and congress for whatever legislation NAV
prove necessary for the welfare of the
country. JAMES SMITH JR
