THE TARIFF ISSUE.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-Perry Sheath
chairman of the Republican bureau of
printing, denied that an attempt is be-
ing made to change the issue from free
silver to the tariff.
Since the opening of the campaign"
said Mr.. Heath, I'VE have sent out over
1870, 000, 900 pamphlets on the currency
question alone, and are now sending
out three million every week through
the medium of the country newspapers,
but 1 think at the same time, that the
tariff question will play an important
part in the campaign from now on.
Where we now receive one request for
literature on the currency question,
we receive four for tariff literature
and the demand is constantly growing.
Speakers all over the country report
an increasing interest on the tariff ques-
ton"

THREATEN TO BOLT
Against Bryan, If Watson Is Not Sub
stituted For Sewall


Raleigh. N. c., Sept. 24.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer, the organ of the ma
tional farmers alliance, gives notice
that it will bolt Bryan unless Watson
is on the ticket. 1t warns the Populists
executive committee not to accept the
Democratic proposition for a division
of the electors in North Carolina, and
says: Woe be unto both committees
if they attempt to thwart the will of
the people and cast the electoral vote
for that arch gold-bug, Arthur Sewall,
of Maine. This will be done directly or
indirectly if the Democratic PROPOSE
ton is accepted to five Populist cleo
tors and six Democratic electors. This
is an actual condition, not theory.
Sewall is dragging Bryan down dan
gerously near defeat. If the Demo-
cratic executive has power to give
five out of seven electors to Watson
it has power to settle the entire troub-
lie by making it Bryan and Watson
Give us Watson with Bryan, or else
Norton and Watson will be the ticket
of the farmers and mechanics of this
country. Down with Sewall, Sherman,
Cleveland, Rothschild electors in every
stae, on up with Norton and Watson"

A JUDGE ATTACKED.
BY A Man Whom He Had Sentenced
To Jail For Contempt

10 jail fOr contempt.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 24.-Judge George
F. Gober, one of the most prominent
judges in Georgia, was assaulted here
Monday afternoon by Stephen A. Ryan
formerly the leading dry goods mer-
chant of Atlanta. Ryan used a riding
whip, in the handle of which was a
small piece of iron.
Judge Gober was in the act of board
ing a train for his home in Marietta.
He says hat he was struck from be-
hind. Ryan says that he touched the
judge on the shoulder first, attracted
his attention, and struck him when he
turned around. Judge Gober defended
himself with an umbrella, and the two
men fought for a minute in the street,
where the judge was standing as the
train was passing. Ryan inflicted three
severe blows on the judges face and
head, and the judges umbrella raised
a lump on his assailant's forehead.
Five years ago Judge Gober sent
Ryan to Jail for contempt of court in
failing to turn over to receiver $780,
900 which the court thought he had
withheld from his assets. Ryan re-
manned in Jail for thirteen months.
Mr. Ryan says that the attack was
not made because of the judges official
action, but because that he was in
formed that the judge had referred TO
him as a damned scoundrel in con-
versation Sunday. The affair created
a great sensation last night; half
dozen men came down from Marietta
to look for Ryan but were persuaded to
return home without making further
trouble. Judge Gober is an influen-
tial politician and has a great many
devoted friends and many bitter enc
mics. His friends intimate that they
will avenge the attack

KICK AGAINST CANADA SILVER.

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 24.-Notices
have been posted in all the banks of
this city to the effect that no Canadian
money would be received on deposit.
This action is the result of agitation
which has been going on in the local
banking circles on this subject for
number of days. 1t was stated, how
ever, that the boycott has been started
by business men and is the outcome
of a sentiment against Canadians on
account of their refusal to take United
States money.
From now on all Canadian silver will
be subjected to a discount of twenty
per cent. This will practically drive 1t
