of the Chicago Platform.
CHICAGO, July yz-Among those who
returned from St Louis yesterday was II
gentleman who saw and Peld the sup
pressed dispatch from Mr. Bryan TO soma
tor Jones, chairman Of the national Demo
cratic committee. He possesses "A fairly
good memory, and gives the following as
the substance Of the document about which
there was SO much talk and excitement
What is subiOined may be relied upon as
being substantially correct
Considering all the circumstances ind

concluded that the Populist convention

laws Of the United States the free and un-
limited coinage Of gold and silver mt the
present rntio Of 16 to 1, without awaiting
the consent of any other country.
The Republican platform adopted at
st. Louis asserts that the bmetallic sys-

American people are helpless to bring
about bimetallism for themselves until for
aign nations are willing to assist The
American people cannot Hfford 10 sur
render the right to legislate for themselves
On all questions, and, SO long as the right
is disputed, it surpasses all others IN i'm

rHE PARTYs INTERESTS.

The political contest in this county j, one
of much Importance. Viewed from a party
standpoint, the Republicans have a duty to
perform that must be met squarely and fear
le,,ly. The HERALD has consistently opposed
the domination Of the party in this county
by the faction known as the followers Of the
Senator from this district, believing that the
supremacy of that faction was detrimental to
. the party's best interests. They are again
cndcayoring to renew their grip ON the
organization, and a determined effort is being
made to PREVENT it.
We believe that their success will work
,dniury to the party this year, as il did in the
Mast campaign, aud it behooves every Repub-
hcau who holds his parJy's interests above
selfish considerations to join those who
oppose it, shenandoah has been treated to so
much Coyle politics that the town has become
the hotbed of opposition, and so strongly has
the feeling grown that last year a majority Of
875 was given against the ticket, despite
earnest efforts 10 stay the tide, which had in
1894 led to success.
THE HERALD lis DISTINGUISHED in this
matter, having no object i'm view but the
nest Interests OF LIt party Inc idtboh We
,rrfer to has no more ardent advocate than
Congressman Brumm, nor has the latter
more enthusiastic supporters than the former,
Furthermore, the present Cougressmau's
position ON the currency question is con
sidered by many leading Republicans to be
very equIyocal, Taking these two facts into
consideration, coupled with the further
knowledge that Shenandoah has a candidate
for the same position who has declared him
self, without evasion OF equivocatiou, as in
line with the national platform, We have
y opposed, and viii continue TO do so, the re-
IL nomination Of Congressman Brumm, This is
e aright vuuchsafed 10 every Republican, and
70 have no excuses to offer for doing so.

john Meredith Read, the well-known
American diplomatist was born in Phila-
delphia February q, 1887, he being a son
of a former solicitor general of the
United States. He received his education
at military school and at Brown Uni
versity, where he received the degree OF
AN. in 1856. He was graduated at the
Albany Law School in 1859, studied inter
national law in Europe, was admitted to
the bar in Philadelphia, and afterward re-
moved to Albany, n. Y. He was Adju-
tant-General of New York in 1906. and
was one of the ori.inators of the Wide
Awake" political clubs in 1860. He was
chairman in April OF the same year of the
committee of three TO draft bill in behalf
OF New York State appropriating 100000
fer the purchase of arms and equipments.
and he subsequently received the thanks
OF the War Department for his ability and
zeal in organizing, equipping and forward
ing troops He was United States Con-
sui-General for France and Algeria in
1869 20, and 1S70-74 Acting Consul-General
for Germany during the Franco-German
war.
After the war he was appointed by Gen
eral de Cissey, French Minister of War, to
form and preside over com m ission TO ex-
anime into the desirability of teaching
the English language to the French
troops.
In November, 1878, he was appointed
United States Minister resident in Greece.
One of his first acts was to secure the re-
lease of the American ship Armenia, and
Mt a
revocation of the order that prohibited the
sale OF the Bible in Greece. During the
Russo-Turkish war he discovered that
only one port in Russia was still open,
and he pointed out to Secretary Evaris
the advantages that would accrue to the
commerce of the United States were a
grain feet dispatched from New York to
that port The event justified his iudg
ment, since the exports of cereals from
the United States showed an increase
within year of $73, 900, 000
While Minister TO Greece he received the
thanks of his Government for his effectual
protection OF American persons and inter
ests in the dangerous crisis of 1881. Soon
afterward Congress from motives OF econ
omy, refused the appropriation for the
legation a: Athens, and General Read, be-
lieyins that the time was too critical to
withdraw the mission, carried it on at his
own individual expense until his resigna-
ion, September %, 1889.
In 1881, when, owing in part to bis eff
forts alter his resignation, the territory
that had been adiudged to Greece had
been finally transferred, King George
created him a knight Grand Cro>s of the
Order OF The Redeemer, the highest dig
nifty in the gift of the Greek Government.
General Read was president of the Social
Science Congress at Albany, n. Y, in
1868 and vice-president of the Que at
Plymouth England, in 1872. He was the
author o. "a Historical Inquiry Concern

1T rs WAR TO A FINISH.
In Order to Down The Arbuckies the
Sugar Trust win hycde Chicago
TerriforY

CHICAGO. Ill, Dec. PA morning
paper SAYS: The war between the sugar
trust and the Arbuckles has invaded Chi
approached the officers of one of the large
embarrassing plants of the West with a
proposition for tho purchase of the same
and the war between the two big concerns
appears destined TO spread indefinitely.
The first Intimation received in Chicago
outside of the immediate parties to the ne
EQUATIONS for a Chicago plant came yester-
day in a circular issued by a New York
sugar house. which is considered of the
highest authority in sugar circles and
which stands close to the trust. Coming
from such a source the statement is con-
sidared reliable and as undoubtedly ema-
mating from within trust circles. The
statement was as follows:
There is very considerable talk about the
American Sugar Refinery having bought the
controlling interest in the Mooson Spice
Company of Toledo, the second embarrassing
plant in the United States, and there are
rumors of negotiations for the purchase OF the
plant of W. F. Mclaughlin of Chicago, the
third largest in the United States. These pur-
chases, if made, are no doubt caused by the
action OF Arbuckle Bros, who are reported 20
be pushing forward plans and contracts for
the erection of q 1000 barrel capacity sugar
refinery in Brooklyn.
The statement was shown w. F. Nc
Laug hlln yesterday. He would not deny
that such negotiations had been preached
by the sugar-trust people, but stated that
he was not in pSeltion to talk about it.
He said, however that his plant was not
for sale, as he considered that he could
make as much money out of it as any one
could. He concluded the interview with
the 81 -nificant statement that of course
figures altered cases, and that while his
circumstances under which some color
might be lent to such a statement as APP
peared in the circular of the New York
sugar autho rity.
