SPANS ANSWER
Delivered to Mr.. WoOdford-A Lengthy
Document-Neither Mr.. Woodfnrd's Note
Nor the Reply to be Made Public Until
Congress Meets

Washington. October 26.-Confirmation
from official sources is given that the
Spanish authorities at Madrid delivered
to Minister Woodford last evening the
answer of Spain to the representations Of
the United States contained in Mr.. Wood
ford's instructions. Under these circum-
stances it is not doubted hat the United
States minister has advised the au-
thcrities here on the essential features
of the reply. The text of the reply is
known to be very lengthy, so much so
that it is doubted whether the full
answer will be sent by cable. If this
is attempted, however, it will be a long
and labOrious process of translation and
transmission, the original Spanish being
translated first into English, then reduced
to cipher. then cabled then translated
back from cipher to English.
AS the actual delivery of the docu-
ment into Mr.. Woodford's hands did not
occur until late yesterday, these pro-
cesses would delay the receipt of the
text probably beyond today, if any at
tempt was made to cable it in full.
The statement is re-affirmed by Off
Gals that no publicity of Mr.. Woodford's
Instructions or of SPANS answer will be
made at Madrid or Washington until
after the assembling OF congress, and it
is generally believed that the two gov
ernments have reached an understand
ing as to holding back the letters for the
present.

Governor Atkinson's MessaRe on Lynch

Atlanta, Ca, October 27.-Mob law
was severely condemned by Governor
k in his message to the Geor-
gia legislature which convened here
today. The message bristled with a
ScOrching n sensational attack upon
the lawless spirit that fosters the lynch
law in this state. He says that to ex-
terminate the practice of lynching, the
crime must be made odious and crime
full He advocates stringent legislation
against the mobs and insists that the
legislature pass a law laying every
county wherein such a crime is COM
mitted subject to a large indemnity to
the revatives of the mob's victims. He
is in favor of arming the prisoners and
allowing them to protect themselves
from mobs.

New York Stock Market.

market looked strong for a time today,

reports that the Spanish reply to the
representations of this government was

THE OHIO PLATFORM.

We and in the sun the real platform
Of the Ohio democrats, this:
Whereas, The crop Of wheat in the
United States is said to be unusually
large; and
Whereas. The price of wheat has been
advanced by the money power: be 1t
Resolved, That the condition Of lie
farmer can never be improved by large
crops or large returns for the same due
to the iniquitous Vaccinations and ma
nipulations of Wall street: and
Resolved, That We view with alarm
and denounce with indignation the alleg-
cd increase jim the production of wheat
and the demand for the same: and
Resolved. That the ailesed foreign
demand for wheat is indubitably an ar
uicial crisis produced by the Roths-
childs; and
Resolved, That the wheat crop and the
price Of wheat cannot be increased or
made normal by natural and honest
means, until The free coinage Of silver
und the ratio OF ls to l has stimulated
nature. doomed prices. and relieved the
downtrodden farmer from the clutch Of
the usurer and the money shark"
This is rather better expressed than
the formal democratic platform. This is
logical; the other is plain case Of in
coherency.- Standard Union.
