GOV. STONE WRITES.
He Stands SqusretY on the Chicago
Platform.

Hon. W. J. Stone writes "A letter
to the Jefferson City Tribune in
which he says the position of the
democratic party in 1896 was. right
and is still right. There is no re-
treat from the Chicago platform.
II believe the money question in

me it is perfectly clear that the re-
publican party means to destroy the

these lines are contemplated by
those who control the republican

Recent utterances of the president
and secretary of the treasury
strengthen me in that belief. In
deed, tbs purpose to accomplish
all this is hardly concealed any
more. The work of bringing it all
about will be begun next wint ter, but
it will Lot probably be fully devel-
opsd or completed until after the
election.

The testimsny given in Chicago
and Kansas City is the most dam
aging TO the commissary department
that could possibly have been pro
cured Not only have all the charges
preferred by General Miles bsen
substan tiated, but it has been shown
that the contracts fer the inferior
canned meats were let by General

Packing company, who negotiated

the army with canned beef and
warned the government s agents that
it was unfit for use in tropical eoun-
tries
SO fer as General Miles is con-
cerned, the inquiry should be closed.
He has shown by army officers and
privates that the canned goods were
unfit to eat, and that unwholesome
meats were furnished The
representatives of the packing
houses have admitted that the can
ned goods purchased were not suit

that General Eagan had been so in

It will be impossible in view of
the developments to threw the

Shortcomings OF Dr.. Nash Are lncreas-

Lancaster, March 31.-The thinking
honest people Of the town deplore be-
cause SO much sympathy and senti-
mentality are being expended over The
arrest of the deposed Postmaster Hor-
ace n. Nash. Nothing can be more
erroneous than the supposition that he
has been cruelty treated by his bonds
men.
The correspondent of The Spy learned
today that the bondsmen did not de-
eide to let the law take it's course IN
til they were compelled to do so by
the continued deception and lack Of
shame or sense of his position shown
by Mr.. Nash.
Even after the discovery of his thefts
MI Nash deceived his bondsmen about
the whereabouts of $98.75, cash in hand
when Inspector Pendleton visited the
office 1t was with difficulty ne was
induced to turn the money over.
From Harold Parker, one of the
bondsmen, it was learned that the last
straw came when DR.. Nash deliberate
ly deceived his bondsmen about his
property. To secure their leniency he
gave them a mortgage deed for $500
on stock in trade worth perhaps $500.
He assured them there were no other
liens. Two other liens were found, one
for S10O in favor Of Calvin Holman,
another for $3.50 in favor of Joseph
Morse The latter had not been re-
corded upon the town clerks books,
although Dr. Nash as town clerk had
written upon the deed the day. min
ute and hour upon which it assumed
to be recorded. The books We're care
fully searched, but no record could De
found
