that they assisted in smuggling in

against him by the customs officials
but he succeeded in clearing himself
It is noticeable, however, that he never
succeeded in getting the officials he
charged dismissed.
Now that he is out of it, he talks

Scared on the Silver Plank.

Notwithstanding the radical free sill
Yer plank which the Ohio Popocrats
put in their platform they have been
scared off it during the campaign. 1t
is noticeable that the great silver lead
ers are not stamping that state at
present. They have been called off, as
was Towne, or kept out as is Bryan.
Now when the Republicans. carry the
Buckeye state what will Bryan and
Towne, ct ais. have to say? They
surely will be tempted to say: You
lodged the issue. You tried to conceal
your principles and you have met will,
overwhelming defeat" That would be
natural
OF course few will believe. probably
not Messrs. Towne and Bryan them
selves. that standing on that free silver
plank would have lessened the major
fty against them. On me contrary it
would probably make the defeat all
the more overwhelming. But Just
think how this great Popocratic party,
which had SO much to say about the
need Of free silver one year ago. is

did it well. He was not a carpenter
but when it became necessary to put
a new roof on an outbuilding he put
it on. When the city wouldn't provide
a fire escape for the house he built one
of wood. He also developed ability to
