PLAN A BIG CAMPAIGN.
Executive Committee of Democratic
Annotated CIubH Meeta.

Washington, April 13.-The first meet
ing of the new executive committee Of
the National Association of Democratic
clubs took place here Monday at the
Ebbitt house. There was a very full.
attendance of members of the commit.
tee. a committee consisting of Messrs.
Black, McMillin and Mcguire was ap.
pointed to prepare an address to the
democratic voters of the country, which
the committee unanimously adopted.
The address says:
Although the paramount question before
the people was and Is that of the single
gold standard as against the free and un,
limited coinage of silver, and mighty ma.
SGrlty of the whole people declared un.
equivocally for bimetallism, either indo,
pendently or by international agreement
as promised by the republican party, We
see not the slightest inclination of any dis,
position to move in that direction. Will,
all Industries languish, while the gold dol,
lar appreciates and the silver dollar is de.
MED its natural economic function, while
a nation waits and suffers, tariff schedule,
are being revised for the exclusive benefit
of the taXeaters, and the gold owners ara
tacitly assured that they need apprehend
no encroachment upon their monopoly,
which is Visibly appropriating the profits
upon the labors OF clVlllZed mankind. To
the bitter complaints of the people the an
swer of the Roman farmer OF the revenue
Is returned, namely: More taxes and a
dearer currency with which to pay them
We respectfully suggest that democratic
societies constituted after the manner OF
those which Mr.. Jefferson described as
very nurseries of republican principles be
established in every district, and that the
democratic state, county and city chair
men throughout the country take immedl-
ate steps to secure the institution OF such
ORGANIZATIONS"

A BANK ROBBED.
Daring Theft Committed by Two
Men at Yonkers, N. Y.
They Confront the Cashier OF n Saw
inEs Institution with RevoIvers,
Secure $4,000, and Succeed in
Making Their Escape.


Yonlters, N. Y, April13.-Atnoon Mon
day, while the street 20 feet away was
crowded with pedestrians and the pres
ident of the YonlSers savings bank was
in rear room separated from them by
partition so thin that he could have
heard an ordinary tone of voice, two
young men held up the cashier, took
$4,000 in cash and escaped. The rob-
berry was one of the most daring ever
committed in or near this city. Cashier
Cobb was so badly frightened that he
could give no accurate description of
the robbers after they left, although
they were not masked.
Ayoung man entered the bank shortly
before noon and asked to have a one
dollar bill changed. The bill was
changed, and the cashier turned to his
books, thinking that the stranger had
left the bank. Soon afterward he was
called from his books by another young
man. With this young man Cashier
Cobb engaged in conversation about a
proposed deposit. The stranger APP
peared to be waiting for something, and
said that a friend of his had promised
to meet him at the bank by noon, when
the two intended to make the deposit,
He himself would go, he said, and re-
turn in few minutes.
AS he stepped to the inside desk Cobb
noticed something black under it..
There appears to be dog under here" {"
he said, half aloud, and gave the object
kick. AS he did so man sprang from
under the desk and confronted Cobb.
He wore black hat and carried re-
eolver in one hand and a roll of bills in
the other. He covered Cobb with the re-
volver and with the bills he partly
screened his face. Cobb was terrified
and helpless. In a low, determined
voice the robber said: If you make u
move you are dead man.
The cashier half turned, hoping for
assistance from the supposed customer
outside the railing. The second visitor
had thrust his arm through the grated
window and with another revolver was
covering him from the rear. At the
corner of the cage, near where the door
way opened into the passage, was bur-
glar alarm, and a loaded revolver lay
Oll a lie TODDeT
slowly toward the doorway, keeping
the cashier always covered with the
revolver, so that he could neither reach
the alarm nor the revolver on the table.
The robber reached the doorway, ran
down the passage and out the front
door. Relieved of the tension, the
cashier set off the burglar alarm, and,
EPiZino the reynlvar ran IN Tho fro,{
door in time to see the two robbers run
ming up the street toward the railway
station. All had happened so quietly
that the president in the rear room had
not heard anything of what had oc-
Cured. After the robbery the presi.
dent and cashier made an investigation,
and found that 81, 400 had been taken,
A roll of ten $50 bills had been over.
looked. Great excitement followed i'm.
mediately after the alarm of the rob.
berry, but thorough search was with.

NEXT October the first deer legally
killed in Vermont for about 90 years
will fall victim to the hunters rifle.
Such is the effect of law passed at
the last session of the Vermont state
legislature. Since late in the seven
ties, when the first deer law in tho
state was enacted, deer hunting has
been forbidden under penalty of heavy
fines, and the animals have SO in-
creased in numbers, that by October,
1897, there probably will be no better
hunting ground in the east than Ver-
mont, with the exception of some parts
of Maine.
