he began, whereupon "Hurrah for
Cleveland" WAS shouted which drew
quite hearty response from the gal
lerlcs. The attack on the President
which followed did not find any mark
ed demonstration of approval. "Now,
1 want you all to listep," shouted Sena-
tor Tillman, and then read the substl-
tute resolution, which is as follows:
1--WE denounce the administration Of
President Cleveland as undemocratlc
and tyrannical and as departure from
nil liberty loving Americans. The veto
power has been used to thwart the will
of the people as expressed by their
representatives in Congress. The mp.
pointive power has been used to sub.
sidiZe the press, to dsbauch Congress
md to overawe and control citizens in
the free exercise of their constitutional
rights as voters. A plutocratic despo'
tism is thus sought to be established on
the ruins of the republic. We repu-
diate the construction placed on the
financial plank of the last Democratic
National Convention by President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle rs
contrary to tho plain meaning of Eng.
lish words and as being an act of bad
faith. deserving the severest censurc.
The issue of bonds in time of peace,
with which to buy gold to redeem coin
obligations payable in silver or gold al
the option of the government and the
use of the proceeds to defray the ordi.
nary expenses of the government, are
both unlawful and usurpations OF au-
thority deserving impeachment"
The first sentence was u fro brand
which ignited great blaze of Misses
and O counter flame Of cheers which
could not equal the Kisses and the en-.
tire reading of the resolution was
fiercely hissed. He closed with q
warning to the delegates that they
must unite the jealous and rival ele
ments of the silver forces or victory
for Democracy would be impossible
"You're no Democrat" shouted some
one in the galleries.
Senator Tillman concluded by pledg.
ing the solid vote of the South to any
good, straight, silver candidate.

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatod condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without dcbilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its behe-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health.
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, ono
may be commended to the most skil4ful
physicians, but If in need of alo oxative,
then one. should have the best, and with
the wcll-informedc everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is mostlargely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Sketches OF the Democratic Nominees
for President and Vice President.
Mr.. Bryan was born in Salem. Marion
county, H., on March 10. 1860. At the ago
OF fifteen he entered Whipple Academy, ut
Jacksonville; in 1877 he entered Illinois
College, and graduated valedlctorian in
1881. For the next two years he attended
the Union Law College, Chicago, studying in
the office OF LYMAN Trumbull. After grad
uatton he began practice Mt Jacksonville.
In 1887 he removed to Lincoln, Neb., and
became member of the law firm OF Talbot
Bryan. He was elected to Congress In the
First Nebraska District In 1890 over W. j.
Connell, Of Omaha, and was reelected in
1892 over Allen w. Field. OF Lincoln. In 1894,
Mr.. Bryan declined u third nomination, and
was nominated bJ the Democratic State Con-
vention for United States Senator by the
unanimous vote Of the convention. The Re-
publiSans. however. had majority in the
Legislature, and Bryan was defeated for the
Senatorship. Since Mr.. Bryan's Congress
term expired he has given his time eYclu-
sively to spreading the doctrine Of free silver.
He first appeared In the political arena of
Nebraska in the campaign Of 1888, when he
stumped the First district for j. Sterling
Morton, nominee for Congress. The same
year he declined a nomination for Lieuten-
ant Governor. On July 80, 1890, he was

JESSE GRANT A POPULIST.
Says He Will Enroll Himself in the
Peoples Party Cause.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 4.-In the Populist
Convention to-day Judge J. Wade Nc
Donald of this city read the following
letter from Jesse +. Grant, son Of the
late General Grant, espousing the Peo-
pies party cause. The letter set the con-
vention wild with enthusiasm and the
cheering lasted several minutes 1t was
as follows:
''San Diego, Sept. 1, 1896.
MY Dear Judge: / have noticed with
much interest your Withdrawal from the
Democratic party and espousal of the
Peoples party. This action meets my
approval, since / have concluded to en-
roll myself in the same cause. The
financial plank In the Republican plat
form must drive from that party any
one who believes as l do, and the an
archial plank in the Democratic plat
form must lose to it any persons who
believe in the protection of American
citizens at home as well as abroad.
The platform of the Peoples party, on
the contrary, has no Objectionable prin-
ciples, and seems to offer a political
home any American can proudly enter
Yours truly, JESSE r. GRANT"
Mr.. Grant has been heretofore Re-
publican. Judge Mcdonald is a very
recent convert to Populism from the
Democratic ranks.

MANY HOURS BEHIND.
The Relay Packet From San Fran
cisco to New York.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-The
transcontinental relay packet arrived in
Chicago at o'clock this morning. The
packet was then fourteen hours behind
the schedule time, as the schedule is
read at this end of the route. An acci-
dent happened to Courier Captain Craw-
ford near Turner, a few miles west of
Chicago. In speading along in the dark
ness he was thrown from his wheel. In
the fall his collar bone was broken. His
companion, Cummings, rendered all the
assistance possible, and endeavored to
get his disabled comrade sheltered in a
ber was disturbed declined to receive
company at that hour of the night.
Cummings rode on alone to Turner, the
next relay station.
Dispatches from Toledo tonight re-
ported courier arrivals at Bryan, 1880
p. m., Wauseon, 9:27 p. M, and Delta,
1912 p. m. The packet was expected at
Toledo at midnight. 1t was to be car
ried from Rattlesnake Corner to Toledo
(ten miles, by William G. Alexander a
courier 81 years old. The packet should
be in Cleveland tomorrow. The sched-
ule calls for arrivals in New York Sun
day afternoon, but the indications are
that the terminal station will not be
reached until Monday morning.
From the present outlook it appears
that the winning time across the conti-
nent from San Francisco to New York
will be about thirteen days and twenty
hours.

The Little Miss Apparently a Willing
Victim.
, Fire Destroys From Fifteen to Twenty
Thousand Dollars Worth of Prop
erty at Red Bluff - The First
National Bank of Helena, nontana,
the Largest Banking Institution in
the State, Closes Its Doors.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. A unique
and sensational case of abduction was
brought to the attention of the police
authorities here to-day. An adventurer
named Albert 0. Rosco had kidnapped
the twelve-year-o daughter of Widow
Ruiz right before the mothers eyes. The
little Miss is named Bernardino Ruiz,
and she was apparently a willing vic
tim. The family reside near River Sta
ton on Railroad street The abducted
child is pronounced a perfect type of
Spanish beauty
Roscoe had resided with the Ruiz fam
lily for some time, and has been paying
marked attention to little Bernardino,
against her mothers will. Yesterday
afternoon Rosco and the Ruiz girl went
to the County Clerks office, and by
means of perjury succeeded in getting a
marriage license. Rosco advised the
girl to swear falsely about her age. The
mother, learning of this, demonstrated,
and RoSco attacked her. ROSco COM
manded the girl to array hereslf in her
best clothes, and then took her in his
arms, and despite the struggles of her
mother carried her out of the house and
disappeared in the darkness.
The mother declares that the marriage
license is only a bluff and that Rosco
does not intend to marry her daughter.
Even if he SO desired the child is too
young. Officers have been securing the
country all day, but not trace of the
couple has been found.
Little is known of ROscO. He does
not appear to have any visible means
OF support.

NEWSPAPER MAN INDICTED.
Charged With Sending Indecent rlat.
ter Through the Tails.

SAN FRNCISCO, Sept. Am in
dictment which was ordered placed on
the secret file was returned by the
United States Grand Jury to-day
against Robert T. Porter of San Jose.
The charge is sending indecent matter
through the mails, and as soon as he is
arrested he will be held to answer on
two such counts.
1t appears that Porter is editor and
publisher of a paper in San Jose bear
ing the suggestive name of Hot Stuff" "
From the evidence presented to the
Grand Jury it would seem that the sheet
is everything it's name might suggest.
Porter, it seems, has been running a
red hot' paper in San Jose. He has
been charged with writing a lot Of per-
sonal matter about Well-known people,
and then throwing in few lines of in
decent fiction. Some weeks ago the
matter was brought to the attention of
Inspectors Charge Munro, who at
once detailed Inspector Irwin on the
case. The result of that gentleman's la
borS is seen in the secret Indictment on
two counts returned by the United
states Grand Jury to-day.

SEWALL WILL NOT WITHDRAW.
Answers a Rumor That He Was to
Get off the Chicago Ticket.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a Bath, Maine,
special says: A report reached here yes
terday from New York that Arthur Sc
wall was about to get off the Bryan
ticket and that his withdrawal would
be forthcoming by the first of next
week Mr.. Sewall was found at the
Democratic headquarters in consulta-
tion with other Democratic leaders.
'Is it true that you are about to with
draw from the Chicago ticket?" was
asked.
Mr.. Sewall did not reply at once, but
turning to Mr.. Thomas, entered into
conversation in a low tone, and the two
went into an adjoining room. They
were absent about five minutes. Mr..
Sewall on returning gave out the fol-
lowing, and said: Il desire that this be
published over my signature: Any
statements to the effect that I will with
draw are absolutely untrue and without
foundation. / never had and have not
new the remotest intention of doing SO.
