MR.. BRYAN QUOTED.

As in 1896, the free silver parties are
united, under the same leader who, I'M
mediately after the election of that year.
in an address to the bimetallists, said:
"The friends of bimetalhsm have not
been vanquished: they have simply been
overcome. They believe that the gold
standard is conspiracy of the money
changers against the welfare of the human
race-and they will continue the warfare
against it."
The policy thus proclaimed has been
acceoted and confirmed by these parties
The Silver Democratic platform of 1900
continues the warfare against the so-called
gold conspiracy when it expressly says
1--WE reiterate the demand of that (the
Chicago) platform of 1896 for an American
financial system made by the American
people for themselves, which shall restore
and maintain bimetaliic price-level, and,
as part of such system, the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited coin
aye of silver and gold at the present ratio
of Is to /, without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation"
AN IMMEDIATE ISSUE.
So the issue is presented. 1t will be
noted that the demand is for the imme-
diate restoration of the free coinage of sill
yer at 16 to l. If another issue is para
mount, this is immediate. 1t will admit
of no delay and will suffer no postpone
ment.
Turning to the other associated parties
we find in the Populist national platform
adopted at Sioux Falls, S. D., May 10,
1909. the following declaration -
"We pledge anew the Peoples party
never to cease the agitation until this f.
nancial conspiracy is blotted from the
statute book, the Lincoln greenback re-
stored, the bonds all paid and all corpora
ton money forever retired. We reafirm
the demand for the reopening of the mints
of the United States for the free and un
limited coinage of silver and gold al
the present legal ration of l6 to /, the
immediate increase in the volume of silvel
coins and certificates thus created to bt
substituted, dollar for dollar, for the bans
notes issued by private corporations under
special privilege, granted by law Of Marcf
IA, 1900, and prior national banking
laws"
4 The platform of the Silver party adopted
at Kansas City, July 6, 1900, makes tn
following announcement =
"We declare it to be our intention t
lend our efforts to the repeal of this cur
rency law, which not only repudiates th'
ancient and time-honored principles of th'
American people before the Constitution
was adopted, but is violative of the princi
Piles of the Constitution itself; and we shal
not cease our efforts until there has beer
established in its place monetary system
based upon free and unlimited coinage o
silver and gold into money at the presen
legal ratio of 16 to /, by the Independent
action of the United States, under which
system all paper money shall be issued b,
the Government, and all such money coin
ed or issued shall be full legal tender il

without exception"

THE LETTER.
Executive Mansion,
- nA

Washington, ID. u, Sept otn'
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge,
Chairman Notification Committee.
NV Dear Sir:-The nomination OF the
Republican National Convention OF June
10, 1900, for the Office of President OF the
United States, which, as the official repre-
sentative of the convention, you have con-
veyed to me, is accepted. have careful
" examined the platform adopted and
give to it my hearty approval. Upon the
great issue of the last national election 1t
is clear. 1t upholds the gold standard and
endorses the legislation of the present Con-
gress, by which that standard has been ef-
fectively strengthened. The stability OF
our national currency is, therefore, secure
as long as those who adhere to this plat
form are kept in control of the govern
ment. In the first battle, that OF 1876,
the friends of the gold standard and OF
sound currency were triumphant, and the
country is enjoying the fruits Of that VIC
tory. Our antagonists, however, are not
satisfied. They compel US to a seconu
battle, upon the same lines on which the
first was fought and won. While regret
ting the reopening of this question, which
can only disturb the satisfactory financial
condition of the government and visit un'
certainty upon our great business enter
prises, we accept the issue and again In
yite the sound money forces to join IN
winning another. and, We hope, perma'
nent triumph for an honest financial sys'
tenn which will continue inviolable in the
public faith.

THE TARIFF.

'The Republican party remains faithful
to it's principle of tariff which supplies
sufficient revenues for the Government
and adequate protection to our enterprises
and producers; and of reciprocity which
opens foreign markets to the fruits OF
American labor, and furnishes new chan
nels through which to market the surplus
of American farms. The time-honored
principles of protection and reciprocity
were the first pledges of Republican VIC
tory written into public law"

ALLEGED KENTUCKY AssASsTys.
THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO
PROVE EALIBIS-DEMOCRATS UNABLE TO
SHOW THAT GOEBEL RESIGNED
THE SENATORSHIP.

Frankfort KY, March 21 (SpeciaD-It looks
though the Goebel lawyers and prosecutors
will have to find new to whom to charge
the assassination. The one heretofore selected
the candidate for the scaffold is Dick
Combs. whom they called "Tailow Dick" and
described as a nulatto, who had been engaged
in the French -EversOle feudal wars in Perry
Leslie County. Thomas Campbell. the New
York lawyer engaged TO prosecute the assas-
sins. told the reporters that Combs was such
desperate character it would take an army Of
three thousand men to capture him In the
mountain county to which he had fed. An
other gave him a fanciful history des-
perado, who had killed twenty men and feared
nothing.
To-day. however a telegram came from
Beattyville. Lee County. which said that Dick
Combs there at work in his barber shop
that he had never been IN hiding, and knew
nothing Of the Goebel assassination, as he could
easily prove. He is ready to surrender to any
police officer, whenever he is informed that ne
IS wanted. He says he in Frankfort
from January Is to February 3. and was near
the railway station when Goebel was shot.
Another man who, 1t was claimed, knew all
about the conspiracy was William Durham
who is in jail at Bowling Green. He said ne
had been in a conspiracy with the man who
fired the shot, but refused to mention the man
name. He said that to the assassin was palo
81. 500. and that he him count the money
However, it develops Durham's given name Is
Thomas. and not William. 1t further develops
that he in Bowling Green instead OF FRANK
fort the day Goebel shot, and the day FOL
lowing found himself in the Warren County
Jail. where he has since been.
II is going to be hard to prove that Goebel
resigned as Senator before he was sworn in as
Governor. This is task of tasks for the poliu-
cal ConspiratOrs. As matter OF fact, IL those
few exciting days when the dying Goebel clung
TO life IL never brought out that he had
even offered resign. Democratic leaders said
they supposed Senator Goebel had resigned or
would resign but none of them spoke definitely
on this poifft. This haa~De forgotten by the
lesser leaders, who. without the master mind
and iron hand OF Goebs TO guide them. were
adrift II was even said that one Democra.
had urged on Senator Goebe the advtsablity
of resigning the day following the shooting.
and that Goebel refused, giving his reasons
therefor.
