SHERIFF TRIPLETT RETURNS FROM A BUSINESS TRIP TO
 THE WINDY CITY"
He Had an Interview With Chair man Jones and Says Bryan
 Is Certain of Election.

Sheriff Chas. H. Triplett returned Sunday from a business trip of sev- eral days duration to St. Louis and Chicago.
 While in the latter city he met Chairman Jones and spent sometime at the Democratic headquarters. MT. Triplett says that MT. Jones stated to him tEat it would be impossible to defeat Bryan. The National Chairman pointed out the fact that the Republicans had an immense campaign fund, which had been placed in the hands of their hired henchmen in the doubtful States, but he expressed the belief that they would find it impossible to "deliver the goods"
 Our worthy Sheriff also says that he came through Illinois on a train just ahead of that of Mr. Bryan, and that the crowds that are turning out to hear the Nebraska orator, he de- clared, are phenominal in their pro- portions. Free silver is sweeping Illinois like the old prairie fires of yore, and Mir. Triplett gives it as his unequivoeal opinion that Bryan will be elected by a tremendous majority.

SLAVE RAIps IN AFRICA.

Moro Than . Hundred villages Destroyed
In One Campaign.
As we approached the falls we saw
that the river banks had been depopulat-
ed and the villages were in ashes. We
passed dead bodies floating in the river.
Canoes were standing on end like hol-
lowed columns; crowds of fugitives
were afioat and hiding among the reedy
islands. These were all signs Of a gen.
eral terror, but we could get no infor
nation of its character. Vague ideas Of
an invasion from some savage tribe
came to our minds, and now and then
we had a misgiving that there must be
Arab slavers in the nsighborhood.
Continuing our ascent, on the third
day we came in sight Of a huge Arab
camp ON the right bank, and before long
we discovered that the Arabs Of Nyan-
give (Livingstone's farthest point), hav-
ing hoard the most exaggerated reports
Of our successful descent Of the Kongo
in 1877, had hastened after US to reap a
harvest Of ivory and slaves. They had
been too successful Over 118 villages
had been destroyed below Stanley falls
alone, rich plunder Of ivory was In
their camp, and several hundred slaves,
old and young, were herded like goats
and heavily fettered in the slave pen. 1t
then appeared that while we had been
negotiating with the negro chiefs along
the river, making roads, building sta
tions and hauling steamers overland.
the Arabs Of Nyangwe had been coming
down the river, laying the country
waste. We had at last met, about so
miles below the falls. A glance at the
scenes Of the camp was sufficient to re-
veal what q future awaited the Kongo
valley had we not conceived the project
Of opening the river to oivilizing infiu-
ences. There was not moment to lose.
We bad no authority to open fire ON the
miscreants. They were subjects Of the
Prince Of Zanzibar, who was a protege
Of England. and to plunge into hostili-
ties with them might possibly involve
us In serious complications. But while
we dared not use force we believed that
by continuing the same system we had
found so successful with the native
chiefs we could check the audacity oi
the slavers by our mere presence among
them. After some days spent in cautious
and friendly negotiations with the
Arabs We were permitted to establish Z
station at the falls, and after seeing Il
well advanced we turned the prOWs oi
our steamers down river towerd 90

American shipping, the product Of
American labor, employed 10 Ameri-
can shipyards, sailing under the Stars

carrying Of our foreign commerce.
The republican party Is unreserved
ly for sound money. 1t caused the
enactment Of the law providing for
the resumption Of specie payments IN
1879, aud since then every dollar has
been as good as gold. We ere unslter-
ably opposed to every measure calcu-
lated to debase our currency or to Inn
pair the credit OF our country. We
are, therefore, opposed to the free
coinage Of silver except by interna-
tional agreement with the leading
commercial natIoBs Of the world,
which we pledge ourselves to pTOIaote.
Until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold standard must be
preserved. All our silver and paper
currency must be maintained at par
ity with gold. We favor all measures
designed to maintain invlolable the
obligations of the United States, and
all our money, whether coin or paper,

ican missionaries in Armenia; ex-
presses sympathy for the Cubans In
their war for independence, and take
a position in favor of awarding them

We condemn the present admins
tration for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers of the country. The
republican party favors such measure.
of encouragement and protection as
will speedily lead TO the production on
American soil Of all sugar which
Americans use and for which they pay

600, 900 annually.
Civil service reform is approved and
the extension Of the principle wheneV-
er practicable. The use of pubic
meney for sectaridn purposes and the
union Of church and state are opposed.
A declaration Is made in favor OF arbi-
tration between employed and en-
ployer, but no specific legislation is
demanded.
A declaration is made in favor of
liberal pensions, and the present ad-
mlnistration is denounced for drop

The building of the Nicaragua ca
