THIRD TERMS ARE WRONG. General Buckner Is Decidedly Opposed to Grovcr Cleveland's Re-election. Nothing in Its Favor. Now York, April 29. General Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky, who ran on tho Democratic ticket nominated at Indianapolis for vice president, ex pressed some opinions on the free sil ver party and Cleveland for a third term before he left for home today. He was at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and although over eighty years old, he walked around with the springy step of a man much younger. He Is a great admirer of ex-President Cleve land. A reporter asked him what he thought of the election of the Republi can penator In his state, Mr. Deboe. "I do not care to say anything about his election whatever." "What about tho gold standard or National Democracy running a ticket of their own In 1900." "I do not see how the sound money Democrats can do anything else but keep up their organization and remain as a nucleus for tho Democrats to rally round for future campaigns. One thing Is sure, we cannot go with the free silver Democrats, because th'ey are no longer Democrats; they are Populists. They will havo to cease to affiliate with tho Populists and come to us. The Democratic party, If It Indorsed free silver, would simply lose its Identity in the Popullstie party nnd nothing more. Mr. Bynum was right when he said we would keep up the fight and organize for tho future. There is nothing else for us to do. Why, even In Kentucky nlone, there nre 70,000 sound money Democrats, a majority of whom, of courte, voted directly for McKlnley. And there are thousands of sound money Democrats In other states." THE REAL ISSUE. The veteran general smoked his long stemmed pipe, and, among other things, said: "It was the Indianapolis conven tion last fall that finally determined the Issue. The Republicans were re luctant to make tho Issue anything else but protection. That gold Democratic convention settled the Issue conclusive ly, and by the aid of Democrats Mc Klnley won. These Democrats now stand ready to support tho national Democracy when the time comes. As I Bald, wo must keep our organization Intact and not affiliate with Populism." The general Is a friend of ex-Presl-dent Cleveland, but he does not agree with ex-Ambassador Bayard In regard to a third term. "I have a high re gard for Mr. Bayard," he added, "but I cannot think for a moment that the third term of Mr. Cleveland or any man would be beneficial to this repub lic. If we 'go ahead und destroy pre cedent after precedent, why, after awhile the sacred props of this republic will be undermined. 1 would not vote for my father for a third Presidential term, and while I have a great admira tion for Mr. Cleveland, I do not think he could carry three per cent, of the Democratic vote, If he should by any chance bo nominated for a third term. It does not make any difference tho fact that ono term has intervened. We do not wish one man president three times. Washington's precedent Is al most an unwritten law, and I do not believe the American people -would voto to place any one in the White house three times, Why, General Grant, the great soldier, could not even get the nomination for a third term, and why should there be talk of nominating an other man. Whatever a man's ability, he has no right to bo president more than twice. Mr. Bayard Is a fine gen tleman, eloquent In speech and all of that, but when he thinks that it would he best for this country to have ex Presldent Cleveland or any man as chief magistrate three times he Is sadly mistaken. Wo do not wish to knock all of our patriotic ideas on the head and Ignore tho work of the wise found ers of this republic." PRISONER BECOMES INSANE.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Under this heading short letters of in. t?rest will bo published when accompa nied, for publication, by tho writer's name. Tho Tribune will not bo 'held re sponsible for opinions here expressed. About Capital Punishment. Editor of Tho Tribune. Sir: Under the Tribune's generous offer to glvo space, for tho opinions of any do siring to dlscu3 subjects of public inter est, I offer thi following In regard to tho death penalty, which presents a side of tho case not brought out In the editorial and tho opinions of the Judges of various courts in today's Tribune. About tho year ISSi Rev, William Hill was stationed at Castlemaln, a mining town in Australia. Later ho was sta tioned at Melbourne, and there lost his llfo in tho following manner: There was a movement, by public conventions and speeches throughout tho colonies, against capital punishment. Says a writer, then on tho ground, It was gaining popular In fluence every day and seriously atlectlng tho administration of Justice by tho courts. A man convicted of murder In tho first degreo was, under tho Influence of tho popular excitement, sentenced to llfo Im prisonment. Out of sympathy for tho prisoners William Hill becamo a regular visitor at their cells and by mutual agreement tho warden opened tho cell of each prlsone. in turn to admit Mr. Hill and then turned tho key on Ihlm for a prlvato talk and prayer with tho prisoners. One day alter talking kindly to a murderer with whom ho was locked In tho cell for a brief time, he knelt and prayer for 'him. Whllo In tho act of praying with his eyes shut, the murderer quietly drew an Iron bar from his cot and crushed the preacher's skull. Tho telegraph spread the news and tho universal verdict was that tho murderer ought to bo hung. That put an end to the agitation against capital punishment In Australia. Tho man was then tried for tho murder of tho preaeihor and was to be hanged. Then other ministers went In to pray with him and under sentence of death ho pro fessed penllenco and sought un Interest In their urayers, and even professed to find peace with God; and tho ministers behoved he had. Under the sentence of llfo Imprisonment ho remained an Impenitent murderer. But under tho sentence of death, according to tho orlgnal law, "Whoso shedeth man's blood, by man his blood shall bo shod," ho was brought to repentenco. Tho case is well authenticated, being reported by a well-known missionary who wa3 at Mel bourne In ISO). Had tho death penalty been abolished In Australia nt tho time Mr. Hill was murdered, nothing moro could havo been done under the law with the murderer, who was already serving a scntenco which was tho extreme penalty of the law. If thero was no capital punishment. With no capital punishment, tho murderer sorv Ing a llfo sentence Is, so far ns tho law Is concerned, at liberty to commit any number of murders, which opportunity may throw In h!s way, and thero Is no moro punishment for him than tho llfo sentence which has already been pro nounced, Can any ono deny that It Is a very dan gerous thing for a hardened crlmlnnl, whoso hands aro already stnlned with blood, to bo living under such condltlonsi that no matter what crimes he may com mit, nor how many of them, tho law has no moro terrors for him?
