It is doubtful whether Mr.. Bryan. If his
lungs should hast him for the next sixty
days of active campaigning. could do
more for himself than ex-Secretary Olney
will have done for him by the publication
of the letter which appeared in the New
York World yesterday fand which is re-
printed on another page of the Record to-
day. announcing his determination to vote
for Bryan electors. Mr.. Olney is strong
in point Of clear statement and his ar
raignment of the Republican party leaves
no weak spot untouched. He Is more
forcible In that he does not appeal TO the
weaknesses or preiudices of the masses or
to the special interests or animosities of
the classes, but to the sober judgment of
patriotic and thinking citizens.

1T is wholly immaterial whether

impose upon the people, or shift the

A number of people would like to
know what Mr. Freer meant ''The
government is pauper." How so?
1t is raking in money hand over fist,
even maintaining a war tax in time
of peace and piling up a surplus even
while maintaining one hundred thous-
and men in arms And what does he
mean by saying, what is entirely true,
that the government is "harassing and
deviling the people" whenTtf'all this
could be avoided if the government had
the power?" What power? What addi-
tionaI power does Mr.. Freer and the
Republican party desire? Mr.. Freer
is somewhat mystifying and ambigu-
Gus, at times, as well as frank. But
some of his remarks require explana-
ton and elucidation. He is assertive,
but not plain. His addresses need q

This is one of the most interesting dec
larations of the campaign, and Ii is all
the more significant because Mr. Olney
has none OF the prejudices of an anti-ex-
pansionist. but has always taken a very
broad view of our foreign policy. There
is large class of conservative Democrats
with whom not even Mr.. Cleveland HIM
self carries as much influence as his clear
headed and forceful secretary, and there
can be no doubt that Mr. Olney's adher-
ence, however grudgingly yielded. will be
helpful to Bryan's cause.

ovRRRULED THE DEMURRER.
0OlOred Voters Must be Protected.

LoUIsvILLs, KY, February 1e-In
the cases of several persons arrested
during the recent State slection for al
legged intimidation of Negro voters,
Judge Evans, in the United States Cir
cult Court to-day overruled the de
murrer OF the defendants, which
brought into question the Jurisdiction
OF the Fed ersi Court.
Judge Evans held that Congress
passed section $40 of the United
States Statutes to protect the colored
people in their right of suffcsga, and
that section 5,bOS WAS passed to pre-.
vent persons from conspiring to ipjure
and oppress, thus insuring this class
OF voters the free exercise of their
right OF franchise that Congress had
the power TO pass such laws, ss the on
ly real guarantee of liberty, aud that
it was the duty of the court to see that
the provisions of the statues were en-
forced,
He held that il Congress had no pow.
er to protect the colored people against
intimidation, etc., then they were left
at the mercy OF combinations OF politi-
clans and brute force, and that the
fact that the election was one nc which
only officers OF the State were voted
for did not In any wise take away the
Jurisdiction of the United States Court
90 protect the colorsd voters usder
the constitutional amendments and
the sections referred to.

Mr. Turner Arrested.
dispatch. Feb 21st.l

Yesterday was q reasonably busy day
with Justice John.
One case that promised to be rather
interesting was not gone into, This
case grew out OF the charge against
Beverly f. Turner, the colored real
estate agent, OF stealing 81 $50 from
Clara M. Carter, colored woman.
Giles Jackson and James Hayes,
eolored lawyers, appeared as counsel
f)r Turner. They waived examination
and the case was certified to the Hust-
ines Court.
Turner has declined TO tell the cir
cumstances which gave rise to his ar
rest, but it is learned that he was the
guardian of CLARA M. Csrter's child
rem. Recently one OF them became OF
age. 1t ia claimed that the mother
went to Turner to get the child's por-
tlon and no money was forthcoming.
Thsn she swore out the warrant for the
arrest of Turner aud it was placed in
the hands of the police OF the Third
District for execution.
Mr. B r. Turner had not been able
to secure bondsmen for $1,000 up to the
hour Of going to press.
