AFTER THE sINCLAIRE BOYS.

in Capturing Them.
Triton, Ca, April 19.-The posse, headed
by ex-Deputy Sheriff w. H. Oliver. and
accompanied by the brother and brother
in-law of ]. T. Willis, which left Triton
yesterday morning in pursuit of the Sim
clair boys, has not yet returned. The
section of country into which the boys have
gone has an almost impenetrable river
swamp, and many of the boys relatives on
their mothers side live in that section,
and unless they consider themselves justi-
fable, and voluntarily surrender, their
capture may be a matter of weeks.
Drs. Hunter of Triton, Bacon of Albany,
and Pickett of Ty Ty went out to Willis
home this morning 10 open his abdomen
and perform an operation on which his
only chance for life, and that very slen-
der one, depends.

ence with Mr.. Warner sets forth
your opposition to the income
tax, and newspaper item,
quoted in your book, gives you
credit for drafting that portion of
the indianapolis platform which
related to ths retirement of the
greenbacks and the substitution
of bank currency.
Your prophecy that "a law to
prevent wage earners and sal
ary earners from demanding and
securing payment in gold dollars
would not be winning issue"
evlnces tender solicitude for
the laboring man. | might sug-
gest that bimetallism alarms you
more than it does the wage earn
ers. 1t was not the employees
who were frightened at the spec.
ter of free silver in 1896; neither
did the laborlng men share your
desire to add to the privilege of
the banks.
On December 20, 1897, a year
after the election, the Federation
of Labor adopted the following
resolutions:
"Resolved, That we declare our
selves most positively opposed to
the Gage financial bill recently
introduced in congress by the
secretary of the treasury. 1t is a
measure that if adopted as a law
will only the more firmly rivet
the gold standard on the people
of the country and perpetuate its
disastrous effects in every form.
Resolved. That we pronounce
the Gage bill an undisguised ef-
fort TO retire our greenback cur.
rency and all government paper
money with a view to the sub.
stitution of national bank notes
in their stead, and thus fasten
the national bank system for
years upon the American peo-
ple."

themselves, or that you know bet.

them. Yours sruly.

ed more than ordinary intelli.
gence. He told his horrible story
clearly from beginning to end
and though the attorneys for the
defence made every possible ef-
'ort to tangle and confuse him, he
stuck to the essential facts as he
had first stated them in man
ner which must have left an i'm
preston on the jurors.
Newham said he had been in
vited to meeting at Stokes store
in Lake City on the Friday night
prior to the lynchlng. He found
there the defendants Stokes,
Goodwin, Epps, Lee, Whitaker
and Singleterry. Stok es said they
had to kill Baker but the meet
Ing was not large enough to act
then. They agreed to meet Mon
day night and carry out their
purpose.
Members were assigned to 90
out in the county to collecta crowd
for that night. The party met
again Monday. He remembers
that Stokes, Good win, Lee, Epps,
Webster, Ward, Alonzo, Rodgers
and Singleterry were present.
They went to the post office. He
and Lee were assigned to set fire
TO the house while the others re-
mained in front to shoot Raker
when the fire forced him out.
Lee started to back out but was
finally prevailed upon to 20 on.
They poured oil on a pile of shaw
ings and the some on the sides of
the house. Lee stuck a match to
the place and it blazed up. As the
fire climbed to the roof he heard
the cries and screams of the peo-
pie inside. Then the shooting be-
gan, and he and Lee turned and
ran. They afterward met the
members of the original party at
a neighboring church.
This is. of course but all outline
of the story which Newman told
in the great ordeal. In it all but
three of the prisoners at the bar,
Kelley, Clark and E. Rogers, are
directly implicated in the consplr-
acy and murder alleged in the in
dictment.
The second witness sworn was
M. B. Springs, white shop keep
er OF Lake City. Heswore that on
the day of the lvnching Stokes
asked him to help kill Baker that
night, but he refused to do SO.

Gratis are the JeffersOnian
Element.
Lincoln, Neb., April 10.-Colo-
mel w. j. Bryan on yesterday
mailed his answer to the last let
ter received from Hon. Perry
Belmont some weeks ago. The
correspondence thus far has dealt
largely with the rival jefferson
dinners to be held In Newr York,
but Mr.. Bryan ignores that mat
ter and devotes his attention to
the differences existing between
himself and Mr.. Belmont orr
questions of Democratic party
policy. His letter, in part, fol-
lows:
Lincoln, April s, 1S99.-Hon.
Berry Belmont, New York dear
Sir: Upon my return to Lincoln
| found your ,letter containing
the original letter and postscript
given to the press some days be
fore. | cannot find anything in
my letter to which you can con-
sistently object.
You began your speech at Mad
ison Square Garden on August
s, 1896, by saying it was time for
"plain speaking" and proceeded
to accuse the Chicago convention
of betrayal" of the Democratic
party. In your Brooklyn speech
on September 1, 1896, you spoke
of the Chicago platform as "the
strange element of the old party
and the Socialists who masquer-
ade as Populists."
1t seems that in Using the
words "betrayal" and "masquer-
ading," l unconsciously fell into
the style which you employed in
1896. but I'did not reflect upon
the intelligence of the gold stand
ard advocates by characterizing
them az an "unthinking element"
You ask first that I point out
wherein your utterances are "un-
patriotic, un-Democratic, un-
American and In conflict with
the Democratic creed as set forth
in Jefferson's first inaugural ad-
Dress" We have no accepted
standard by which to determine
whether a given opinion is pat
riotic or American, but we have
means of determining whether
an opinion is Democratic and in
accord with the teachings of JEFF
ferson. | presume you use the
word Democratic in the party
sense, otherwise that term would
be as difficult to define as "patri-
otic" and American"
The right to determine what is
democratic in party sense belongs
to the Democratic party. The
Chicago convention was more
purely representative than any
other convention held in recent
years, because the rank and file
of the party spoke on public ques-
tions through instructed dele
gates. The Chicago platform is
the latest authoritative definition
of Democracy as applied to ex-
listing conditions. If a minority
Of the delegates to a national con-
vention representing a minority
of the members of the Democrat
ic patty has right to determine
what is Democratic, then each
member of the party has right
to define Democracy for himself
and to assert that he is better

Jefferson favored the double
standard as against the single
gold standard, and during his ad-
ministration our nation had the
free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the legal ratio
of Is to l.. The ratio was changed
10 Is to 1 during Jackson's ad-
minlstration. The Chicago plat
form pronounced against the gold
standard in favor of the return
to the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio of
16 to l without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation.
AS delegate to the Chicago
convention you, voted for a min
ority report which declared
against independent free coinage
on the ground that it would not
only imperil our finances, shut
would retard or entirely prevent
international bimetallism to
which the effort Of the govern
ment should be steadily directed"

ard without any declaration in
favor of international bimetal-
lism. You may be able to ex-
plain why the minority rejected
at Indianapolis the plank for
which it fought at Chicago.
Mr.. Mckinley In 1891 charged
in public speech that Mr.. Cleve.
land, during his first admins
tration, was dishonoring one of
the precious metals, discrediting
silver and raising the price of
gold. He insisted that Mr..
Cleveland was trying to make
money scarce, and therefore
DEAR" and added she would have
increased the value of money
and diminished the value of
everything else. Money the
master and everything else the
servant" If Mr.. Mckinley then
understood the real purpose of
the gold standard, as believe he
did, who could think Jefferson
capable of advocating a policy
which instead of securing equal
and exact justice for all makes
money the master and every
thing else the servants"
Mr.. Carlisle, in a speech in
1878, said: "The conspiracy to
destroy by legislation and other
wise from three. e.sevenths in one
half Of the metallic money of the
world is the most gigantic crime
of this or any other age.'
If Mr.. Carlisle was then right,
as I believe be was, in his ue-
nunciation of the gold standard,
who can believe Jefferson capa-
bic of being a party to such a
crime9
After the election Mr.. McKin-
ley sent commission to Europe
to secure international aid in
getting rid of the gold standard
and a Republican congress ap-
propriated money to pay the ex-
penses of the commission. The
commission failed because of
English opposition, and English
opposition was due to the oppo-
sition of English financiers. JEFF
ferson Democrats must have a
better reason for submitting to
the gold standard than the fact
that the English financiers favor
