.Money Is I'leuly for Those M lio

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

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

Is no demand for the silver. Ninety

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

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)

WILL FUSE WITH THE POPS.
Kiiiimk Democracy Will Nominate No
Candidate for Slate Others.
Topcka, Kas., Aug. 2. F.x-Senator
Joli n Martin, a leader of the Kansas
Democracy, Is authority for the state
ment that the Democratic state con
vention at Hutchinson. 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.
Denounce the Chicago Convention n
I ii-Deiiiocrnlic and Popiilislic.
Columbus, O., Aug. 2. The conference
of gold Democrats here yesterday was
attended by about 2." prominent mem
bers of the Democratic party in this
state. Kx-Congresstnan Joseph H.
Outhwnito was chosen to represent the
gold Democrats of Ohio in tho confer
ence that has been called ut Indian
apolis on Aug. 7.
Resolutions were adopted ileclarins
that the Chicago national convention
adopted a platform that Is un-Dem-ocralic
but Populist iu and dangerous.
It was declared to be the sense of the
meeting that a state convention should
be held here at as early a date as pos
sible to select delegates to the national
Democratic convention and that an ad
visory committee be selected to arrange
for nomination for eectors-at-large.
but that no state ticket be nominated.
REFUSES TO SUPPORT BRYAN.
An Did Democratic Paper Cannot
Stand the Hoy Orator.
Burlington. la., Aug. 2. After the
Chicago convention the Burlington Oa
zette, one of the oldest Democratic pa
pers In the state, announced that It
would stand by the Democratic ticket,
although free silver was almost too
much for it to stand.
Last night, however, it said editorial
ly that although It has fought the bat
tles of Democracy for sixty-two years,
it must now refuse to support the Chi
cago nominees.

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."

penitentiary yesterday, now appears
by his own confession to have added
murder to his long list of crimes. Fri
day afternoon Whitney sought out
Warden Weyler and Intimated that be

In tin- course of his conversation with
Mr. Weyler the man said his real name

the Baltimore detectives he killed and
robbed a man In Altoona. Pa., In April
of last year. "While we were at Al
toona," declared Whitney, or Hllde
bramit, to the warden Friday, "I as
saulted a man on the street, gagged
him und robbed hlin of his money, quite
a large sum. 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.
He si t u in' it un hour for a further con
ference w ith llildehruiidt but the oppor
tunity for which the prisoner hud long
waited presented Itself yesterday and
the unfortunate man threw himself
from a window and dashed out bis
bruins on the Magging thirty feet be
low. In format Ion from Altoona states that
on April 5, ISH., Henry lSonneka, a re
puted miser, was murdered; a inn n
named Wilson was arrested and con
victed of the crime mainly on circum
stantial evidence, und is now awaiting
the death sentence.
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.
WAS IUDF.BUANDT 1NSANK?
Altoona, Pa.. Aug. 2. Frederick

murdered Henry Bonneka in this city
on April 0, 1x1)5. before lie committed
suicide was In this city ut the time of
the murder, and he and another man
Were followed to Baltimore by detec
tives, being suspected of the mill iter.
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.
JURIES NEVER NECESSARY.
Two Negroes Are l.jnched at Mont
gomery, Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 2. Two
weeks ago all attempt was made to
assassinate C. D. Hunter, a prominent
citizen of Dallas county while sitting
on his porch surrounded by his family.
Two loads of shot were tired at him.
but fortunately he was not fatally
wounded. Isidore Mohk-y, a negro,
was arrested on Wednesday charged
with the crime and confessed. Implicat
ing Billy Hunter, a negro.
The negroes were committed to Jail
by the magistrate. As the constable
was on his way to the county Jail ut
Selma with the prisoners he was over
powered by a mob of masked men who
took the prisoners to a bridge and
hanged both. After the hanging a vol

mob dispersed.
ENGINEER FARR'S FUNERAL.
Ited Men Release a Know White Hove
at Hit t.rnve.
Camden, N. J., Aug. 2. 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.
Coroner McLaughlin Thoroughly in Earn

the Blame for the Accident.
Atlantic City. N. J.,Aug. 2. I'p to this
evening there had been no further
deaths umotig the victims of Thursday's
rullroad collision lying at the sanitari
um. ( Hi the contrary there was a mark
ed Improvement in the condition of ull
but two or three.
Mrs. Fuunce Frallnger, of Philadel

win. m no hope was entertained, was
much better today, und now has chance
for life.
Miss Brannin, of Millville und Frank
Morele ure hoveling between life and
wiHi small prospects of living.
As was requested by some of the
wounded the chimes in the adjacent
Church of the Ascension this morning
played "Nearer My tlod to Thee," and
as the sweet strains of the familiar
hymn pealed out the maimed and
wounded men and women listened rev
erently to the air. Hume Were deeply
moved.
(Jovernor 'WHliaiii McLaughlin Is
thoroughly In earnest In his determina
tion to sitt the accident to the bottom
and to lix the blame for it where It
belongs. He said this afternoon that
he expected that the Inquest will con
sume two or three days, but that he
will take a month to it If It should be
necessary to a full Inquiry.
The most important witnesses will
be culled tomorrow. Among these will
be (leorge lia.user.the signal tower man,
who gave the right of way to the ex
cursion train and the danger signal to
the Reading express, and who is now
under bail to answer for bis appear
ance; Fnginter Oreliier, of the excur
sion train; Fireman Halllhnn, of the
Reading train, und Superintendents
Delce and Dayton, of the Reading and
West Jersey railroads.
Coroner McLaughlin this afternoon
sorted und labelled by name the prop
erty of the killed In the wreck. In the
collection are a dozen watches, some
battered out of all shape, ami others un
injured, lockets, rings and about $:iu0 In
money. These articles will be returned
to the relatives ot the dead upon proper
identification.
A big accident of uny kind nearly al
ways brinss out the curious fact that
ppople are constantly disappearing and
leaving no trace behind them. Since
Thursday the Atlantic City titithoiities
have received a number of Inquiries for
missing people, whom their relatives
feared might have gone to Atlantic City
and been killed or hurt In the wreck. In
nearly every ease none of the dead and
Injured bore the' slightest resemblance
to the person sought.
