DISSATISFIED GOLD MEN
The Ohio Financial Plank Said to Be a
Weak One.
Eastern Men Want n Definite Dcclara-
ton on the Money Question
and No Stradlle.

, After deliberate considerat ton of the mat
ter, politicians appear to have generally
come to the conclusion that the financial
plank in the Ohio platform is going to
prove dangerous to MIR. Mckinleys pros
poets in the Lational convention. The plank
is attributed to Mr.. MoKinley himself, ard
is regarded as both indiscrect and unsound
1t does not appear to please either faction.
The gold standard people are dissatisfied
and the silver men are angry at the idea
that they are to be trified with The pre-
diction is made that nothing will be gained
in the silver sections, and that it will
weaken him in the east. The Mckinley
people are counting on the popularity of
their candidate in the eastern manufacture
ing centers to give him many votes from
that section after the fight well on in the
convention. They have been claiming pri-
vately that after the first two or three bal
lots they would make break into Reeds
New England support, getting votes from
both Massachusetts and Connecticut They
claim also that the Mckinley sentiment in
Pennsylvania and New York cannot be neld
In check by Quay ana Platt. The opinion
Is now expressed here that their calcula-
tons Will ali be thrown out of kilter by
this evidence of weakness on the financial
question.
Direct Declaration Wanted.
The belief amopg the leading sound
money men is that the demand of the
eastern republicans is for direct and
emphatic declaration on the money queS-
ton. No better time, 1T is thought, could be
for the settlement of the question, and
they want the settlement to be decisive
There is decided aversion to the idea of
lodging the question and leaving the issue
s1lll in doubt when the election is over
The declaration in favor of silver as we'll
as gold, las standard money is regarded
as grar ting ir one breath all that the sill
Yer men are ccnteEding for; while the quail
flying clause is the negative to this prop
osltiCn. 1t Is left d matter of doubt which
proposition the most stress is put upon
The opinion is very widely expressed that
MIR. Mckinley would have lost nothing by
making a clear declaration in favor of the
gold standard. On the contrary, it is
thought that such a declaration would have
either driven the other candidates to de-
clare themselves to similar purpose or
would have made it safe for him to count
On very substantial assistance at the con-
vention from New York and Pennsylvania,
II not from some parts of New England

His Wife.

DENVER, Gel, March ia special to
the Republican from Lander, Wyo., says:
There is considerable excitement among
the Indians of Sheshone agency, caused by
the shooting of Jim Washak:e, a grand
son of the venerable chief of that name
Dick Lamoreaux and Cal. O'Neal, half
breeds, and two white men, named Frank
O'Dell and Bill Roberts, stole Jim Washa-
ke's wife and made for the Montana line
with her. Washakie went in pursuit and
overlook the abductors fifty miles north of
the agency. In, the fight which followed
Wasfakie was shot through the body and
thigh. The doctor of the agency reports
that the wounds are not necessarily fatal.
Capt Wilson is securing the reservation
with his Indian police in search of the
party.

The Republican has the personal as
surance of Congressman Mondell that
The story of his appointing a Nebraska
boy to the naval cadetship is made
from whole cloth, just as thousands of
other democratic lies have been during
the present campaign. The Boomerang
and many democrats of Laramie have
been trying to make considerable capt.
tai out of this fake, but it falls fat, i.hc
their other falsehoods. Herbert Miles,
the boy appointed to the cadetship. is a
poor boy employed at the Cambria eoal
mines, which are located in Mr.. Mon
dell's county, near Newcastle. He has
been living there with his brothers,
and has been earning his own liveli-
hood by hard work. We are assured
hat he Is a very deserving young man
in every respect. that there was not
one particle OF political influence
brought to bear upon the congressman
to make the appointment. that there
was nothing to be gained by himself OF
a personal nature in making it, and
that Herbert Miles secured the place
solely upon his merits.

people to take a hand in and conduct

The most cowardly and malicious
piece of political work that has ever
been done in Albany county is the
BComerang's assault of last evening
upon Sheriff Grant. who is now doing
everything in his power to apprehend
the slayer of Mrs. Wurl. Before the
body of the victim is buried it rushes
to a political assault upon the sheriff
for not arresting the murderer, who
left absolutely no clue to his where
abouts or identity. Such political meth,
DDS will not win with honest, fair
minded people. In the anne article the
Boomerang adds with a great deal of
gusto hat there are bushes growing
along the creek which flows by the
Wurl ranch. If it is really true that
bushes are growing along the creek at
this time of the year, it may be a valu,
able clue in the apprehension of the
criminal.

EIGHTY-THREE MILLION DOL
LARS.

E;ghty-three million dollars is a
large sum, but it is just the amount
that we paid for foreign refined sugar
between Aug. J, 1895, and Aug. 1, 1896.
We ought not to pay enc cent a year
for foreign sugar, and after our home
demand is satisfied we ought to have a
large surplus to export.
But 1t is not as it ought to be. While
millions of acres that are capable of
production of cane sugar in Louisiana,
Georgia. Mississippi, South Carolina,
v1d the southern part OF Alabama are
lying idle-not to mention the vast re-
gions of Iowa, Nebraska. and Illinois
that can raise sugar beets-or are
planted to cotton and corn that hardly
pay Cor the cost of cultivation. Ger

soil. is sending to us the greater part

tions.
And while we are yearly diminishing
the Oh put of Unl.ed States sugar,
which ought ultimately to be the whole
OF the United States demand for sugar,
we are not getting sugar cheaper. as
the free traders assured us that we
would If the Mckinley tariff were re-
pealel. By that tariff we in the north
bought sugar at 20 pounds for the dol
lar. We cannot buy it at hat prize
now. Germany is increasing its out
put; the United States is lessening it's
output. And the people are paying
higher prices for the product.-Inter
