Union Veterans Patriotic League of
Cleveland, and were escorted to the Taber-
nacle, where an elaborate dinner was
served by the women of the city. After
dinner they marched TO Major Mckinley 8
house. Scores of the ex-Confederate
soldiers walked arm-in-arm with the
Union veterans-gray uniforms and blue
were mingled in the parade.
Along the line of march the veterans
were cheered at every step, and they made
a brave spectacle as they swung up the
broad street and passed under the white
arch at the foot of the hill leading to the
Mckinley residence, just at sunset. The
last rays of the sun cleaned in the faces
of the men who had faced each other as
foes in deadly battle, and those same rays
fell upon and glorified forty American
flags, which waved above them as they
marched and to which they are equally
loyaI and devoted. It was an impressive
sight. At Major McKinleys house the
reception given the visitors was most cor
dial. Flags and handkerchiefs futtered
from every window, and Mrs. Mckinley,
leaning out on the sill from second-story
window. waved a small silken banner.
The 1000 spectators on the streets lifted
their voices in chorus of cheers, and
then from the great delegation of South
erners rose storm of hurrahs-the old
rebel yell transformed into a patriotic
cheer.
The cheering when Major Mckinley ap-
peared on the stand was prolonged and

delegation of Confederates were A. P.

BLOODY SEQUEL TO A ROBBERY
Many BIcyclists Held for Iden tifcation
AMI the Second Desperate Is
Probably in Custody.

WELLS, MINI, Oct. 9.-John d. Sair,
who no doubt engineered the robbery at
Sherburne Wednesday, IS dead, as is also
Marshal Gallien of Bancroft, Iowa.
This tragic sequel TO the Martin County
tragedy and bank robbery came few
minutes after o'clock this morning in a
bloody battle on the State line road near
Elonore, Minn. A posse of 100 men in
command Of Deputy Sheriff Ward of Mar
tin County got on the trail of Sair shortly
after daylight and tracked him to farm
house. Deputy Ward knocked at the door
and was answered by woman, but be-
fore she had spoken three words Sair
rushed up behind her and began firing
over her shoulder at the officers. He
fired seven times in quick succession. One
of the bullets struck Marshal Gallien in
the forehead and killed him instantly.
The desperate then ran out of the house
by way of the back door, mounted his BIZ
cycle and dashed off toward the east. The
posse caught sight of him and followed
close behind. This chase was kept up for
four miles, when Sair broke pedal on his
wheel and took to the fields on foot.
As he ran across cornfield toward a
clump of trees Deputy Sheriff Ward
dashed up, dismounted and resting his
gun upon tree fired, the shot from his
Winchester taking effect in the robbers
shoulder. The latter fell, it was supposed
from the shot from Wards gun, but when
the posse gathered around him it was
found he had shot himself in the head,
the shoulder wound only being slight
one. Upon examining the body the Off
GERS found portion of the money stolen
at Sherburne in an inside pocket of his
shirt. the amount being about $500. Fas.
tened to belt around his body were two
revolvers and a dirk knife.
The body was taken to Elonore at noon
and thence west to Sherburne later. The
Coroner's inquest has adjourned until
Monday without finding a verdict. The
body of the dead Marshal was taken to
Bancroft, Iowa, tonight. Bicyclists are
being held for Identification at Preston.
Blooming Prairie and EstherviIle, Iowa.
The man captured at the last named
place best answers the description of the
other robber, Fred Pratt. and he will be
held until officers can reach Estherville
from Wilder, Mimi, Pratt's home.

as chairman of the meeting. Mr.. Jones,
after few words as to the Importance OF
the money question, turned to Mr.. Morton
to proceed at once with his speech. He
said in part:
Money is mercy measure of value and a
mediator OF exchanges. The farmer demands
money for his staples because real, honest
the markets of the civilized globe. And that
money is real and honest and that money is
best which has the least f1uctuating purcnas-
Ing power at all times and in all countries. A
dollar with too much purchasing power is as
impossible as square meal with too much
nuutrive power, an acre of land with too
mucn prod ductivs capacity or an advocate OF
Popullsuc schemes of finance with too much
logical ability. When humanity becomes too
good for heaven money NAV become too good
for the industrious and capable farmers aad
wage-earners OF America, but not before.
unequal desire and demand for silver make
silver the inferior of gold in the arts and in
the currencies Strip gold of the legal-tender
quality. and who would not then take for his
dues demonetized gold when the chance OF
tered, instead OF legal-tender silver? But if the
power exists in legislation to make two metals
equal as money, then the same power can
make silver and gold equal in the arts and
Tor jewelry. If the United States can double
the price OF the worlds silver by enactment,
why can it not also double the price of gar
nels or wheat or pork or any other exchang-
able thing by the same necromancy? And how
can an international conference fix il gold
the price of silver? And. if agreement be-
tween nations can maintain stable prices for
silver, why not for other commodities?
The question to-day is, Which shall farmers
and all good citizens OF the United States
maintain and circulate, honest money or dis
honest money, good money or bad money 7?
Farmers and all other sensible folk should de-
mand when they buy money with their prod
ucts or services the highest standard and
quality of money. And If gold and silver are
TO be coined freely ana in unlimited quanti-
ties by the United States, then equity and
honesty must insist that "any quantity of
either etal in the form of bullion must be of
exactly the same value as the same quantity
OF the same metal in the form of con."
But If the unlimited and free coinage of
silver at the illogical and false ratio of 16 to
is to be instituted and silver thus made a
legal tender at q mint and coin valne which is
twice it's bullion value this basic principle of
rightful coinage will have been abrogated
and dened. Under the operation OF the
Gresham law gold will disappear from the
channels of American commerce and silver
will take its place. All that we sell foreigners
will be paid for in silver, and all that we buy
from them will be paid tor in gold, and We
also will pay the premium on that gold. In
short we will be nonetarily Mexicanized, and
no class will suffer SO great a proportion of
the calamitous loss which this will cause as
American farmers.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 9.-The Herald

house belonging to him in Harlem to his

Harlem Opera house and the Colum bia

smiled.

The meeting was opened by e. B. Smith,

by saying that, inasmuch as he was

in any case, he would hardly deem it con-

Senator Cannon made an appealing
speech, which met with loud applause
from his hearers. He took for his text
words from Major Mckinley, in which the
Republican candidate called upon the men
to obliterate party lines and vote for the

these sentiments and then referred to hav-

JUDGE UTLEY'S LETTER.
To the Peoples Party Central Commit
tee of Los Angeles County, CAL Gentle
men: Inasmuch as it is the general i'm
preston that a candidate for judicial
office should take no part in political
campaign, and inasmuch as this custom
has been observed in this county for
thirty years, and inasmuch as 1 am
firmly convinced that this country has
reached a crisis where the service Of
every man Is needed and imperatively
against the combined forces Of plutocra-
cy, hereby tender my resignation as a
candidate for the Office Of superior judge
of Los Angeles county
am convinced that the success Of our
national, congressional and legislative
ticket should be regarded as paramount
to the hope of any personal preferment.
Entertaining this view, withdraw from
the ticket. so that may be able to devote
my entire time from the present until the
close of the polls on November 8, in .he
most effective manner possible, to the
cause of the people. Respectfully yours,
