NEW VERSION OF SIXTEEN TO ONE Tliu Secretary F.xplnius the Hitter ence Between Desire and Demand lot Moiicv.-Dcmoiictimtion of Sil ver Wat .ol an Art of Neereey. .Money Is I'leuly for Those M lio llutc Anything to Kirhnnge for It. Nebraska City, Neb., Auk 2. Secre tary .1. Sterling Morton delivered a political speech here la.st night before a large and representative audience. The address ,vas eonlined entirely to the linnnclal question and contained no reference to Mr. Morton's alleged candidacy for the presidential! noini tiation on a second IeiuHiatic ticker. Secretary .Morton declared that tip' demonetization of silver In 1ST:: was done after full discussion. The Issue of depreciated silver money caused Hie liunrding ami taking by foreigners -if the better (fold money. This was the cause of the panic In Inm:!. The creation of the sold reserve of one hundred mil lion dollars declared the purpose of the government i. maintain a gold standard. If there was any conspiracy In 1N7:I against silver there was a crime against the Hat bout by the steamboat, and u crime against the steamboat by the railroad unil against the horse by the trolley car and bicycle. People confiiundeil the desire nml I he demand for more money. There is no demand, for more money unless you have some thing to nive in exchange. All deslie money. The silver dollar is not men tioned in the act of 1st:!, but was de monetized in lxr,:i and the law did tn.t Inn in inn' hinder the circulation of sil ver dollars among the people. There are plenty of them, enough to put eighty-live in the hands of every man. woman and child In the land. Tiler" Is no demand for the silver. Ninety seven per cent, of die wholesale and I lll'ty per cent, of the retail business ! of the country Is done without the use of any coin. If tills audience was given oil the money in the universe on condition that they hold it and not use It, they would be as poor as could be. If the silver men carry their point, all who purchase" of us will pay us in silver, and till who sell ns will demand gold and we will liuve to pay the premium. The value of commodities Is regulated by the law ot supply und demand and this Is why silver Is now cheap. The I'ltlted States) can no more lix the vnlue of silver than they can Hx the price of corn. If tho price of silver can be made permanent so can the price of all commodities be llxed by fnternatioual agreement. Val ues cannot be created by statute. A dollar cannot be made from lifty cents worth or silver for a dollar is not built that way. The farmers never knew how badly off they were until told by" the walking delegates whose oratory consists of sixteen parts of wind to 'one part of fact. WILL FUSE WITH THE POPS.

Tuesday, will nominate no candidates for stale olli cers, but that action will be deferred pending the action of the f'opu list con vention which will meet at Abilene on Wednesday, and that the nominees of the Abilene convention will then be en dorsed by the Democrats. As to presidential electors, according; to Mr. .Martin, there will probably be a fair division, representation being giv en to each of the several political or ganizations favorable to free silver legislation. The electors so nominated will be instructed to vote for Uryan and for either Sewall or Watson, whichever has the majority of Votes cast in the t'nited States. OHIO liOLD DEMOCRATS.

Resolutions were adopted ileclarins that the Chicago national convention adopted a platform that Is un-Dem-ocralic but Populist iu and dangerous.

MR. BRYAN NAILS ONE Han Not Promised Governor Altgrld a Cabinet Position. Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 2. This was a quiet Sunday for Mr. Bryan. He at tended services at the First Presbyter Ian church In the morning and took u drive In the afternoon. Mr. Bryan's attention was called to night to a statement published in a Chicago paper this morning that hu had promised the position of attorney general. In the event of his election, to Ciovernor Altgeld. He Immediately dic tated the following and handed It to the I'nited Press: "In order to answer once for all in regard to rumors of promises of places. I desire to say that I have not directly or Indirectly prom ised any ollice of any kind to any per son whomsoever, and shall not during the campaign promise any ollice of any kind to any person." BOURKE COCKRAN TALKS. Denounces the Silver Movement as a Conspiracy Against Wages Will Fight the Bryan Ticket. New York, Aug. 2.- The Sun tomor row will publish an Interview with the Hon. Botirke Cockran. who returned fi mil Kniope oil Saturday, in which Mr. Cockran says that he regards the present political situation as the grav est in the history of the country, exceed ing hi Importance the crisis of l.viu. "The secession movement," said Mr. Cockran, "was but an attempt to divide this country between two governments, each of them designed to protect her property withlng the limits of Us Juris diction. The movement launched ut Chicago is un uttempt to paralyze In dustry by using all the powers of gov ernment to take property from the hands of those who created It und place It in the hands nf those who covet It. Tills is a question of iiioihIs as well as of politics. No political convention can issue a valid license to commit offenses ugulnst morality, and I decline to fol low Mr. Bryun in a crusade ugulnst hon esty and the rights of labor.." In a contest for the existence of civili zation no man can remain neutral. Who ever does not support the forces of order aids the forces of disorder, if 1 can do anything to thwart a move ment, the success of which I would re gard as mi ii'tcparable calamity not only to this country but to civilized so ciety everywlu-re, I shall certuinly do it. 1 believe that all Democrats who are so thoroughly in favor of sound money that tiny place the defeat of Bryan above the interests of any organization or party should meet In convention for the purpose of considering the form and method by which they can give the greatest elllciency to their opposition. For my part I do not believe that the nomination of other candidates for president and vice president, however eminent and deserving they might be personally or politically, would serve any useful purpose. Nobody believes they could be elected, ami any Democrat whose hostility to Kepublicanlsm would not allow him to support either Bryan of McKlnley could show his opposition to both by remaining at home on elec tion day quite as well as by voting for a third ticket. Nevertheless it Is very important In u movement of this char acter that men intending to rupfure the party ties of a life time should be sus tained by a sense ot association among themselves. That end could he attained by tlie adoption of a platform declaring for sound money and other Democratic principles. "Now, the mere election of McKinley will be the defeat of the free silver movement. The obvious policy, then, would be to endorse the McKinley electors und to secure the immediate success of the main features of the platform. The Democrats who will have achieved the success of their titianelal plunk by the election of .Mc Kinley will yet constitute an opposition to the Republican party the day after election based on principles which urn certain to be ultimately adopted by the America it people. What Is needed, thetefore. Is not a new ticket, but u new platform which will declare In unmistakable language the cHrdinal features of the party faith and which while endorsing McKinley electors, Will provide for u really Democratic opposi tion to the McKinley administration during the period of its existence." "What Is your opinion of the untl mate outlook?" "Kvety thing depends on the way In which this campaign is waged. It can easily he demonstrated that this whole free silver movement Is a conspiracy ugaliist wages, and If the campaign is fought out on this line I have no doubt that every northern state that is to say every state of the Vnion In which It Is practicable to hold a free election will be carried by the Intel llgevce and morality of the American people against the monstrous proposi tions submitted to them by the conven tion which nominated Mr. Bryan fur t he presidency."

For this murder another man was arrested, tried und convicted, and wus seat to the Pennsylvania pen itentiary for life." "Was your pal, Williams, implicated in this niuiderV" uvked the warden. "No, sir; I did it ull myself. 1 alone am guilty, and can stjud the strain no longer." WII1TNKY S SCICIDR. The warden tried to gain more Infor mation from his prisoner, but failed.

The suicide was lili years old. When incarcerated in the penitentiary he gave his oi cupatlon as a brill pluver. John B, Williams, who was implicated In the Swindell "hold up" in this city, and is serving eighteen years sentence in the penitentiary confessed to Warden Weyler today that Hildebrandt's state ment was true. "Hlldebrundt killed old man Bonueka," he said, "und secured $11,000. I helped him count the money. We buried it near Altouna:" Wilson was arrested on a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western train by the Barring-McSweeney detectives last winter and brought to Scranton. He was kent without a hearing In the of lice of the detectives In the Common wealth building for two or three days. While a prisoner there he managed to communicate with the employes at Hill & Connell's furniture store by writing messages and holding the paper up against the window. Convinced that his detention was Irregular the furni ture men engaged a lawyer and applied for a writ of habeas corpus with a view to securing the release of the prisoner. The case was heard before Judge Arch bald und attracted considerable atten tion. Tile detectives were enabled to show their authority to arrest Wilson, and were allowed to take the prisoner to Altoona, where he was tried for the murder of Bonneka and convicted on circumstantial evidence.

The detectives after following the men for some time, learned that they were not concerned in the murder. District Attorney Hammond talked with the warden of the Baltimore penitentiary today and learned that Hildebrandt was insane when he made the confession. The news created a good deal ot ex cltinent in this city, especially among the ople who believe that Wilson and Farrell are Innocent, they having been convicted of the murder of the miser on circumstantial evidence.

There has not been a funeral In Camden for years that has attracted public attention to so great a degree as that of Kdward W. Farr, engineer of the express train which collided with the excursion train on the Atlantic City meadows Thurs day evening, which occurred this after noon from the residence of his brother, Charles W. Farr. From 10 o'clock in the morning until S o'clock In the after- 5,(100 people n round the little house In which the body lay, and a steady stream of people passed through the house to view the remains. The services were conducted by the aged Rev. J. H. Sowden, superannuated minister of Pnlon Methodist Kpiscopal church, who has been a life long friend of the family, and Kev. J. H. Saur of the Eighth Street Methodist Kpiscopal church, of which Farr was a member when he lived in Camden. The funeral procession to Kvergreen cemetery was headed by fifty members of Ottawa tribe. Improved Order of Red Men of Camden, to which Farr belonged. Rep resentatives of u half dozen other lodges of Red Men and other secret societies were also In line. There was a crowd of 2,000 people at the cemetery. The widow, who had to be carried to and from the carirage, gave way com pletely when the body was lowered to the grave, and her hysterical cries and last "good byes" to her husband were distressing to witness. A short burial service was read by Rev. Snowdeti, and then the lodge rituals were gone through. Past Supreme Commander Charles H. Kills read the Red Cross liturgy, and Prophet Joseph M. Mowery, of Ottawa tribe, conducted the distinct ive burial service of the Red Men. The members of the order each dropped a sprig of evergreen, emblematical of Im mortality Into the grave and ut the last word of spoken "farewell" a snow white dove was set ut liberty over the bier. In the Red Men's ritual the Might or the bird Is typical of the tlhjht of the soul to spirit land. ATLANTIC CITY TRAGEDY.
