Mr.. Johnson Is equally explicit in
his denial of the interview attributed
to him.
The Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans are unfortunate in that
they have so few Democratic dailies
of large circulation. There seems to
be concerted effort on the part of
the Republican and Gold Standard
papers to mislead the people as to pub.

in Democratic principles and desire
genuine reform must rely almost Who'll.

FAKE INTERVIEWS.
(From The Commoner.)

Just now the Republican papers and
those so-called Democratic papers which
spend their time in defending Re
publican policies, are publishing fake
interviews with Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans, calculated to
stir up dlssonsons among those who
are opposing the administration.
The meanest and most malicious OF
the false reports recently put into cir
culatlon was the statement attributed
to Ex-senator Towne just after the
Ohio convention, In this purported in
terview. Mr. Towne was made to pre-
diet the success of the reorganizers, the
nomination Of Mr. Hill and the break.
ing up of the Democratic party. All
OF the gold standard, trust and i'm
perialstic papers seized upon this as
a sweet morsel. and presented it as O
conclusive proof OF the death of the
Kansas City Platform.
AS soon as this falsehood had time
to get over the whole country another
enterprlsing prevariator came forward
with a statement attributed to Mr.. j,
G. Johnson. the Kansas member of
the Democratic National committee in

breaches disregard for the negro's
rights as a human being? And how
can the white man be expected to heed
those rights? Every such speech Is
an obstacle In the way Of a better,
saner and safer relationship between
the two races; il is a fomenter OF dis
cord and distrust, an excuse for hos
tility and hatred. On that account 1t
is regretted that Senator Tillman does
not realize his obligations-or, realiz-
ing, disregards them so fiagrantly in
his love of bombast and buncombe.

A PENNSYLVANIA PLATFORM.

(From the springfield Republican,
The Democrats Of Cambria county,
Pa, have also adopted platform, and
1t ls not wholly in line with that of
the Ohio Democracy. 1t follows rather
the aggressive radicalism of the lead

Johnstown Democrat, which in turn is
sympathetic with Tom Johnson's fran.

But II is noticeable that the Cambria
Democrats make no reference to the
money question or the Kansas City
platform, and yet they deal with ma
tlonal issues, They are more polite
than were the Ohio Democrats; for
they refer to the recent past simply by
commenting "the leadership Of vii.

Thus ends, in a fiasco, the most de-

piano business that has been made The
scheme failed because it was turned
down by the trade itself.
1t was claimed by the promoters
some time ago that they had secured
twenty-three prominent houses which
had given options on their plants and
business. When this announcement was
made, the organ of the Trust stated
that 1t was not intended to take in a
large number of concerns, but only
some twenty-five to twenty-seven of
the leading houses--that is to say,
enough to dominate the industry. The

the statements made by the promoters
have been fabricated out of whole

time, any substantial basis for them or
for the ridiculous announcements
which they put out through the daily
press of the country.
How thoroughly the trade has turn

the simple fact that, after three years
