HINES WILL BE 4c6LL0WED
by THE DEMOCRACY
ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Possible Candidacy of Admiral
Dewey Is Referred to as an I'm
known Quantity In the
Conditions.

PEABODY, Kan. April N.-Hon Judge
johnson, Democratic committeeman for
Kansas and vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic national executive committee to-
day, in response to a telegram pro-
pounding five questions relative to the
coming campaign, telegraphed as fol-
lows:
:" On what issues will the Democrats
go into the fight for PRESIDENT Answer:
Denunciation of the money trust, with
its policy of currency contraction by the
retirement of greenbacks; empire with
colonialism and militarism and carpet-
baggism and world alliances rampant:
denunciation of commercial and indus
trial trusts and monopolies, the out
growth of McKinIey's tariffs and the fos
ter children Of McKinleyism, past, pres
ent and future; for tariff revision and
democratic officials to crush the trusts:
demand for income tax, that he who has
may share the governmental burdens
with he who must have. and demand
that interstate corporation employees be
protected by national legislation from
coercion, blacklisting and kindred out
RACES.
Question 2.-'What change, If any. will
De made in the platform of 1882 An
swered above.
Question 3.-If Dewey runs as an in
dependent candidate for president. what
erect will his candidacy have on the
Democratic party?' Difficult to estimate.
Am certain Mr.. Bryan will be elected
anyYay:--ssse -a+N~-
"Question 4.-'What do you think Bry-
ans vote will be on the first ballot at
Kansas City?' Think no name but Mr..
Bryan's will be presented to the Kansas
City convention for president, and that
he will be nominated by acclamat ton
Question 5.-'Who is your choice for
vice PRESIDENT have no present choice
for vice president. Any good man who
is an ideal Democrat, viz, one who in
sists that this shall be government of
and by the people, not dominated by in
huences which use the government to
help them traffic in the necessities of the
common people, will suit me, and the
allied forces which expect to elect him.

mortgage aside, and in doing so de-
clared that when the lumber was or
dered Howard "and his agents. one of
whom was Chester r. Smith, knew that
the mortgage was a fraud, and that it
was negotiated with a view to beating the
lumber company out of its just dues.
REASON B.
Because, even if he is to regarded
as an entirely estimable man in private
life, nothing in his career shows that he
is qualified for or entitled to the office
beyond any other resident of st. Paul
Who ever heard of Chester r. Smith
in connection with the political life of
the community until his appearance as
chairman of the county committee OF his
party? Who ever considered him as in
any sense an available man for public
station until Mayor Kiefer, over whose
claims to denomination he rose to his
present prominence, brought him out as
his candidate for appointment to the Of
flee Of city assessor? What movement for
the advantage of the city has he ever
been identified with? What sacrifice OF
time or money has he ever made in the
city's INTEREST," He has bought and sold
real estate. He has attended strictly to
his own private affairs Neither In the
past nor present has he ever spoken q

MYSTERY OF Mr.. CROKER
ORIGIN OF A RUMOR ANNOUNCING
HIS DEATH UNKNOWN.

LONDON, April PA rumor of the
death Of Richard Croker, the origin of
which cannot. be traced, was the sole
topic of conversation in the places where
Americans most congregate last night
Mr. j. p. Andrews, of the City Granite
company, of which Mr.. Croker is a di-
rector, said to representative of the
Associated Press that he had heard the
report. He added:
IF it is true, Mr.. Croker must have

REASON z; Ssss: Sl7s.'''' :
Because there is ample reason to believe
that any man involved in any such trans
action as that which is revealed in the
case of The Martin Lumber Company VS..
Howard, reported in 49 Minnesota Re-
ports, page 4O4, is morally untitled for the
position.
The facts of that case will be found
set forth elsewhere in this issue of the
0 b e. The court held on the facts
before 1t that the defendant land his
agents. one of whom was Chester r.
Smith, had antecedent knowledge of the
fraud which was sought to be perpe-
trated on the lumber company That
fraud briefly stated, is tn W1 The de-
fendant Howard had lot, on which he
sought to have buildings erected with
out paying for them. He mortgaged the
lot to the sister of Chester Smiths part
ner for its full value There was not a
dollar of consideration passed for the
mortgage. The Martin company fur

property, but when it came to foreclose
the lien the fraudulent mortgage was set

REASON 6.
Because he has never during his resi-
dence in this city been associated, out
side the advancement of his personal In
terests, with any movement designed for
the city's benefit,
We have during the past fifteen or.
twenty years seen committees Of our cit
liens chosen from different walks of life
for the accomplishment of some given
undertaking which would add to the pop
ulation or industries of ST. Paul. The
Chamber of Commerce, the Jobbers' Jn
ion the Commercial club and The repre-
sentatives of our social, political and In
dustrial life have all. at one time or eth
er, taken off their coats and gone to work
to gain one or other advantage for this
city. Where has Chester r. Smith been
while all these movements have been mn
der way2 Who has seen the color of his
money IN connection with them, or ever
knew him even to give OF his time or abl-
ity to such iaudable undertakings? In
this connection his whole life shows that
he seeks the Office for the gain that nay

SHOWS that he has even an intelligent
understanding of the duties of mayor.
He seeks election over a man who knows
the city and its people, its and
their needs and aspirations as perhaps
does no other citizen of St. Paul. and
who has given with, a liberality which
mas become proverbial of his brains and
ability, his time and his money to the
prosperity and happiness of the commun-
ity.
REASON 4.
Because as the head of the Republican
county committee he is to be regarded as
representing in his ewn person the
standards of public morals of the poit-
zeal ring now in control of cur local af-
fairs.
He has been picked out as The man
through whom those now IN control Of our
city and county affairs hope to retain
their gripyon the offices. The convention
which chose him was made up largely in
its membership by those who hold city
and county office. They fought against

the inspiration of the Dispatch; and.

mando of 1000 Beers came through Wes-

Sundays bridge and advanced to the
crest of a ridge, but fell back when they
saw the mounted infantry, who opened
fire.
Later the Beers shelled Elandsgaate col
liery. Ten shells fell close to the mine,
but did no damage. The work at the mine
was stopped, but it is hoped will be re-
sunled tomorrow. The British guns open
ed fire. The naval brigade on the right
sent a few shells in the direction of the
Boer guns, which were posted on long
range 1900 yards to the right They were
difficult to locate, but the Beers were soon
seen retreating toward Vessels Mex.
Several shells caught them and must
have done some damage.
On the left the squadron of African
horse were engaged all day in exchanging
shots with the Beers. No casualties are
reported.
Late in the day the Beers showed activ-
ity in the trenches on the ridge in front of
Elandslaagte. A few AZ shells forced
them to relinquish their works. This po-
sition was only. 4,Se0 yards distant from
Elandslaagte. 1t is difficult to understand
the Boer object, Native deserters say
that they contemplate attacking in force,
while others state they are preparing to
retire.

A letter from nurse in a hospital a.
Cape Town corFohorates, AN unpleasant
feature of the war. The writer says the
medical officers, for sanitary reasons,
forced number of Beers to battle In
the river behind the hospital. Two OF
them absolutely refused to strip, and
when forced to do so it was found they
were women in mems clothes. The writer
adds:
Quite a number of the dead on battle
fields have been found I'd DE women sim

has often been these women who have
been guilty of atrocities, such as killing
the wounded"
EXPERT VIEW OF TT.
Spencer Wilkinson, reviewing the situa-
ton in South Africa for the Associated
Press, says at midnight:
THE Beers admirably understand how
to suit their tactics and strategy to the
country. Their action compels the British
to attack and make marches across the
country unprovided with roads Thus
their first step is to surround with supe-
| rior force any isolated part of British.
This compels the British, if they try to.
escape, to attack under; conditions which
give all the advantage of cover and de-
tense to the rifle fire of the Beers. The
British commander-in-chief is forced to
send large relief expedition from dis
tance. The Boer force interpoSes, and
the British force, in order to get forward,
is again forced to attack This is the his
tory of Wepener, where's Col Dalgety has

visions, which if fully present would make
lS,Voo men, His plan should be to try to
surround the Beers in front of him, but
as they ride and his men walk he may
md this impracticable and have to push
them back slowly by a combination of
nank with a frontal attack. The Beers
are using their small forces with great
energy. A day or two ago they were re-
connoitering Gen. Roberts position, north
