Fusion between democrats and re-

the latter said they neither desired nor
needed democratic support.

Old SILVER Diggings In Kentucky Create
Excitement.
Paducah, KY, September 19.-After
seventy-five years of vain search in
which one man lost his reason, an
other his life, and half dozen their
fortunes, the long missed silver mines
of Clark river are said to have been To-
Gated. As consequence the people in
this part of the country are searching
for riches. A man named Corners, liv-
ing eight miles from Paducah, on
Clark's river road, reached the city in
a wild state of excitement this after
noon. He reported that his section of
the country was in furore over the re-
port of the rich beds Of ore from which
the Indians drew wealth hundred
years ago. Connors brought sample
nuggets which when assayed by local
jeweler showed rich signs of silver The
mines were worked nearly a hundred
years ago, but their location was after
ward lost. Search has been made for
them at intervals for seventy-fve
years.

HANNA SHOULD ANSWER

The following statement, which has
been published in the Register, was
made some time ago by Col. A. L. Con-
ger. who was chairman of the Ohio Re-
publican State committee in 1889. The
charges contained therein are specific
and Col Conger defies Hanna to con-
tradict them:
When l went to him at the request of
Marion t. Herrick. A. c. Howard and
some of the young Republicans of Cleve-
land with the request that he and his
coming campaign, he put his hand on my
knee. looked me square in the face, and
said:
Not a d-n cent for Foraker 1 don't
like him, and TN be id if l will vote
for him. On the contrary, l will do all
can against him. / then mentioned Eos
ter to him for Senator, and his reply was:
If we carry the Legislature, Foraker
would be candidate for Senator I
then said to him: Do you mean to say
you would rather see Democrat in the
Senate than Foraker That's about the
size of it, said he. That's the kind of a
Republican Hanna was in 1889.
Then he rushed off TO New York after
the defeat of the Republicans, when he
and his friends worked openly for the
Democratic ticket and when asked by a
reporter what the defeat of the Republi-
cans in Ohio meant, he said: We are get
ting rid of some of the barnacles that
have been hanging to the Republican
party"

FOUR INJURED
By Collision on a Missouri Railroad
Two Passenger Trains Bump

By q Collision Missouri Railroad
Two Passenger Trains Bump.
st. Louis, Mo-, September ia col
lisiom occurred near the Union station
this morning between the outgoing
Wabash passenger train and an incom-
ing st. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado
passenger train. The injured:
Charles Williams, Moberly, Wabash
conductor.
Mrs. A. T. Davis and child, Lovely
City, Mo.
Mamie Hummel, st. Louis.
James Hummel, st. Louis.
The Wabash was just entering
switch from the main track When the
Colorado train, which had the right
iof way, came dashing along at 80
miles an hour. The engineer of the
latter train, seeing al accident was
imminent, shut off steam and applied
the brakes, but they failed to work and
the next moment the Wabash engine
was thrown from the track, overturned
and partly demolished. Conductor
Charles Williams received serious in
juries. The others hurt suffered
bruises and a shaking up.

The worst enemy of the gold ring is
laxative Mr.. Gage-a Chicago banker
whom Mr.. Hanna had the President
appoint to the high office of Secretary
of the Treasury. The wise gold stand
ard advocate never attempts to advance
an argument, contenting himself with
shouting "repudiation,' dishonest cur
rency," etc, at the advocates of re-
turn to the honest money Of the con-
stitution, and by indulging in hypo-
critical balderdash about defending the
national honor, by which he means
something very different But Mr..
Gage is not wise gold bug and his
attempts to argue the question show
how utterly false and untenable the
position of the gold standard advocates
is, for Mr.. Gage advances the best ar
gument there is in the gold bug store.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1897-09-20

Imports of gold are due from abroad
because we have an unprecedented
trade balance in our favor, but these ex-
pected gold imports do not come. Our
excess of exports up to date are double
what it was the previous year. 1t is
plain that the Dingley tariff is the
greatest botch that ever occurred in
all our tariff history. Sixteen millions
a month revenue was counted upon and
not the half of it has been realized.
Instead treasury deficit is being piled
up at the rate of $3.50, 000, 900 a year
In view of these facts it is interesting
to recall Mr.. Aldrich's statement in
his speech on the tariff bill last May:
The adoption of revenue bill which
should fail in this purpose. which should
create an additional deficiency in the i'm
mediate future, which would require a
further issue of bonds to meet current
expenditures, would certainly be fatal to
the hopes of future success of any poiti-
cal party responsible for such legislation.

Respectfully yours,
CHARLES FOSTER,
Secretary.
Two weeks after this letter was
written by Secretary Charles Foster
the Harrison administration went out,
leaving the incoming Democratic adj
ministration an empty treasury.
In view Of the recorded facts that
Foster had made preparations for an
issue of bonds but was ordered to dis
continue them by President Harrison,
and in view Of the above letter, Fos-
ter's denial that he ever wrote such
letter or that bond issue was con-
templated by him shows to what
lengths of deliberate falsehood some
Ohio Republican politicians will go.

"CALICo" CHARLES FALsEaoOp.

Ex-Secretary Of the Treasury Charles
Foster is taking an active part in the
Ohio campaign. In recent speech he
denied that he made preparations at
the close of Harrison's administration
in 1892 to issue bonds to meet the
treasury deficit. He made that false
statement in the face of the following
letter signed by himself ordering the
chief of the bureau of engraving to
prepare plates for bond issue:
