that the great influence of Mr.. Cochran
name will be thrown against the Populist
element in this campaign"
Hon. Winslow Warner, Collector of the
Port of Boston. when asked his opinion as
to the position taken by Mr.. Cochran said:
II do not know that there is anything
that | can add to what have already said
on the subject. | have stated my position
already. | am in favor of any plan that
will aid in defeating Bryan, and for that
purpose | shall vote for Mckinley, not be-
cause l am Republican, but because
believe that it is the best way to defeat
the Chicago ticket.
Ex-Mayor Frederick O. Prince of Bos-
ton announces his conversion to the pro-
posed third ticket movement. He said
further: GAS to what Mr.. Bourke Cock
ran says, endorse every word of it, so far
as it refers to the Democratic platform, for
it is I'M Democratic, it is revolutionary,
and it is Socalistic and utterly at variance
with the fundamental principles OF the
national Democracy
Hon. Charles Levi Woodbury. of Boston
said:
''The declaration of Hon. Bourke
Cochran is like everything he does-bril-
liant, and deserves the careful attention
of every thinking Democrat He states
the old and time honored principles that
have given life to the Democratic cause,
and have given form and substance to the
Democratic party ever since the days of
jefferson, and have carried it triumphant
ly to the hearts of the people.
eff this new cohabitation of Populists
and silver Democrats is right, everything
that has existed in this Republic before
has been crime and ought to be repudiat-
ed. 1t is a revolution.
CAS- to the proposition how we shall
best defend the country from these prop
ositions of anarchy, that must in the first
instance be left to every mans individual
judgment, but there ought to be no doubt
that ali right-minded men should CO.
operate according to the best lights of
their judgment in making that defence
against these threatened calamities.

The Common Sense Course.

There is a calm power about the solid
arguments of Thomas B. Reed, which crush
the flippant utterances of the free silver
men in way that must carry the convictions
of the business men with him. The advice
of Reed is always safer to follow than the
advice of such fire brands as Tillman and
Altgeld, and the safe course is the one which
usually recommends itself to the old FASH
toned Yankee. bath Times.

GOV. CRAWFORD TALKS.
Tells a Correspondent in Washington
About Kansas Senatorship.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Among promi-
nent visitors in Washington is eX-GoV-
ernor Samuel J. Crawford of Kansas.
When asked how the senatorial fight in
his state stood, Governor Crawford an
swered that at least there was no lack
of candidates. The POpulst party has
three or four, the Democrats have as
many, and the Free Silver party has its
quota, with plenty of dark horses loom
ing up in the rear. He said: THE meet
ing of the legislature is too far away
to venture a prediction as to the sue
cessfuI candidate.
Senator PETER holds his contingent
of admirers and desires reelection. The
people OF the state generally are salts
fed with his conduct.
Among the Democrats ex-senator
Martin stands a good show. He IS pop
ular with the Populists, the Democrats
and the Free Silver men, and would be
acceptable to all of them. Overmyer
also stands a fair chance. The Free
Silver people have half dozen good
men who would reflect credit upon the
state"

Four of Them Chamber on
Kansas City Trolley Car
Loaded With Passengers Co.
ing Home From the Theater,
Bound For Independence, and
Attempt to Hold Them Up.
BRAVE TRAIN MEN.
Throw One Off the Car and Cap
ture Another.
Believed to Be the Recent Alton
Train Robbers.

Kansas City, Nov. 27.-At midnight
lasl night four men, led by Oscar
bridges. said to be a bridge and para
enute Jumper of more or less notoriety,
made an unsuccessful attempt to hold
up and rob an electric car filed with
passengers bound for Independence,
Mo Bridges was arrested after a des-
perate tussle with the nOtOrman and
was brought here.
The other men escaped, but their
names are known and it is believed
they also viii be lodged in Jail. The
gang IS said to be the same that SO
boldly held up a westbound Chicago &
Alton passenger train just outside of
Independence a month ago.
The car was the regular theater car
returning to Independence from here
and contained thirty passengers. When
it reached lonely spot midway be-
tween the two cities Bridges, unmask-
ed, jumped on the rear platform, and
going through the car to the front end
boldly thrust a revolver against the
breast Of the mOtorman. Another of
the gang, who had quickly followed
Bridges and who wore a mask, had
just entered the rear door and was in
the act of ordering the passengers to
hold up their hands when the cOnduc-
tor threw him from the car, which the
motorman had been unable to stop.
The two remaining robbers, who it ap-
pears We're to have covered the con-
ductOr, became frightened at the quick
action displayed by him and when the
the three made off to the woods In
the meantime Bridges was tussling
with the motOrman, to whose aid some
of the male passengers now came
Many of the women became paralyzed
with fright and screamed or cried, re-
fusing to be quieted by the conductor
or their male escorts. Bridges was
finally overpOWered without having
fired his revolver and the car proceeded
on it's run to Independence.
This morning Bridges was brought
here, and after several hours in the
sweat-box admitted his identity and
gave the names OF his pals. The police
refuse to divulge them at present, but
one or the other of them is also a
bridge jumper. In addition a saloon
keeper. whose name is also withheld,
gave information to the police which
makes it almost possible that the
duartette We're the same who robbed
the Chicago & Alton train and who
have committed other depredations in
and around Kansas City within the
past two months.
Kansas City Nov. 27.-This afternoon
the police gave out the mems names as
Oscar Bridges. Eugene Ridgeway and
James Repine. All are under p years
of age The RidgeWay boys live at
Sheffield a small suburb near the scene
of the hold up. Eugene is barber and
Ernest is professional high diver.
Repine who is q years old comes of re-
spectacle parents and lives at Centrop-
oils, a suburb of Kansas City.
Repine's father was formerly a sheriff
in some eastern Kansas county.
