BLACKBURN Is BITTER.
lie Denounces Traitors in His Own Party
Governor Bradley and the Press.

Frankfort, Ky, March 1.-THE Black
burn people held a meeting at the opera
house this evening. A feature of the
occasion was a speech from Jack"
Chinn, which was loudly applauded.
Senator Blackburn's address had to
do with the different phases of the
strange political drama just closed
here. He was rather bitter i'm his de-
nunciation of what he termed "The
traitors of the party" and warmly eu-
logized the POpulists for their support
of him.
He scored Governor Bradley i'm n bit
ter and impassioned manner for calling
out the militia, characteriZing his ac-
tion as despotic. cOwardly and tyran-
nical. He also fired some hot shot at
the press. saying there has not been
one single line. original. copied. or bor-
rowed. or stolen. i'm the Democratic
press of Louisville for the past three
months which was not a lie" He then
reviewed and reiterated and defended
his views on silver and other national
questions

LOAN AGENTS TROUBLE.
Charles Osmun Is Ruincd BY Gambling
and Fast Company.

Hazleton, Pa. March 17.-Charles
Osman. of this city. was locked up here
tonight charged with embeZzlement and
larceny. The prosecutor is T. J. Sifton,
representing the Pennsylvania Build
ing and Loan association, Of Altoona.
for which Osman was the agent in
this district. Some time ago the COM
pany received letters from several
members of the association who wished
to withdraw the amounts paid. The
books did not show what they claimed
and an investigation OF Osman's ac-
counts was made. This revealed a
shortage up to date of $4OO. The charge
of larceny was preferred because, 1t
is alleged, he had taken the office furni-
ture.
Osman came here from Allentown last
August. In explanation he stated that
the discrepancy in his accounts was
due to fast company and gambling. In
default of $500 bail he was committed.
