THURSDAY, JULY ij, 1896.
; TOR PRESIDENT,
j WILLIAM J. BRYAN,
of Nebraska. .
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,
ARTHUR SEWALL,
cf Maine.
The Democratic National Conven
tion has presented to the country new
men and new measures. The char
acter and ability of the candidates for
President and Vice-President are ad
mitted by the opposition to be beyond
reproach. The platform contains
some things wnich are so radically
different from the principles enunciat
ed by the Democratic State Conven
tion, that it has taken the gold stand
ard Democrats of the East a couple
of weeks to determine ust where they
are ai. There will be no third ticket
put in the field by sound money Dem
ocrats. The issue is squarely between
the gold standard of the Republican
platform and free silver coinage as
declared for in the Democratic plat
form. The tariff question will keep
many gold Democrats from voting for
McKinley, and there is not likely to
be any wide spread defection from the
party ranks. If the election were
held now, Bryan and Sewell would
sweep the country. What the cam
paign of education during the next
three months will bring about it is
impossible to predict. Certain it is
that the money question is one on
which there is a great deal to be said,
aud the arguments are not all on one
side either. We shall endeavor to
give our readers such information as
we can get on the subject as the cam
paign progresses.
EX-GOV. RUSSELL DIES IN CANADA
The Young Massachusetts Democrat Expires
Suddenly at Little Pabos.
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
. Ex-Governor William E. Russell, of
Massachusetts, was found dead in his
tent near St. Adelaide de Pabos,
Quebec last Thursday morning. Heart
disease is the supposed cause of death,
I Mr. Russell was found dead in bed
at the camp of B. F. Dutton, a Boston
business man. He left his home
. shortly atter his return from Chicago
for the purpose of seeking rest. He
was a guest of Mr. Dutton.
Ex-Governor William E. Russell,
j of Massachusetts, arrived there from
V Boston Wednesday and pitched his
tent for a tew days' fishing. He was
;,! accompanied by his brother and
i;j Francis Peabody. They all retired
early that night, the governor appa-
0 rently in good health and spirits.
Upon his companions trying to arouse
j: hira next morning they discovered
' that he was dead. Death must have
1 resulted from heart disease. The
jj position of the body and the expres
.j sion on the face showed that his death
J was painless.
I William Eustis Russell was born in
J Cambridge, Mass., 1857. He was
I educated in the public schools and in
I Harvard college, where he graduated
,,; in 1877. He then began the study
4: of law under his father's direction and
took a course of three years in the
; Boston University law school. He
v;was admitted to the Suffolk bar in
i88o. He was only 28 years of age
I when in 1885 he was elected mayor
j'Of his native city, having already
; served as councilman and alderman.
t In 1 888 he was nominated for sov-
ernor but was defeated bv Ames. It
'was in this year that Mr. Russell gave
' evidence of his gifts as a stump speak-
er. He was renominated for governor
in 1889 and at the end of a vigorous
" campaign reduced the plurality of his
1 opponent from 29,000 to 6,775. Next
; year in his third trial he was elected
"', by a plurality of 9,000.
la his inaugural message he sug
gested many reforms in state manage
ment, but tew of them were operative,
! owing to a hostile legislature and
hostile council. Russell was re-elected
governor of his state twice. He retired
at the end of his third term to resume
the practice of law. Russell's name
was mentioned by his admirers in
: New Englaud as one which would
look well at the head of the Demo
cratic national ticket. At the Jeffer
son celebration, in Monticello, early
m this year the ex-governor made a
.strong ilt-rlaration in favor of honest
:noney. He was associated with
Senator Hill and ex Secretary WhhV
ncy in the contest over the platform
at the recent Chicago convention and
kept his state in line with New York
against repudiation.

ANSWER TO WILLIAM KRICKBAUM.
Mr. Krickbaum, you have charged
me several times, in your paper, as
being dishonest as Director of Bloom
Poor District, which charges are un
true. I claim to be an honest man,
and work hard at the carpenter trade
to support my wife and family. I pay
my honest debts, treat everybody
decently and harm no one who lets
me alone. The only reason that you
abuse me is because I will not be
bossed by you and wear a Krickbaum
collar. That is the reason you pub
lish lies about me. When 1 spoke to
you about it a month ago you denied
writing the lying articles, and I then
told you that you were responsible fur
whatever appeared in your paper. If
I am so dishonest as you would have
people believe, would you have trusted
me with the $10 you gave me to give
to a triend of mine to vote for your
benefit, which he refused to take, and
which, after the delegate election was
over, I returned to you ? Do you
remember when I was a member of
our Town Council, you met me in
front of the Central Hotel and asked
me who I was going to vote for for
Treasurer, and when I told you who
he was and that I thought him a good,
honest man, you got cross and cursed
and swore about it, saying that he
was no friend of yours and asked me
not to vote for him but do as you
said ?
Do you remember when vou came
down to my house on a Sunday morn
ing with your slippers on, before a
delegate election, and asked me to
allow you to put beer into my cellar
to give to the voters, and I refused to
allow you to do it?
Do you remember when I paid you
$150.00, borrowed money, and you
wanted to cheat me out of $9.00
interest for which I have your receipt?
Mr. Krickbaum, if I cared to, I
could tell you of a good many of your
dishonest and dirty tricks. You claim
to be a reformer. Why don't you
practice what you preach and do not
deceive the people ?
