Cleveland's ultimatum. Cleveland will
let Hill have the seat in the I'nited

welt But Hill is not the kind of fellow
to surrender on the eve of a victory. He
won in New York and Cleveland had
nothing to do with it. Hill proposes to

Varioi s efforts. Lave been made to
publish in the Republican newspapers of
the State, a statement that Senator Cam-
ron will not vote for the Ixdge Federal
bill. Theie is no justifuration for such a
statement. Senator Cameron ia as
straight a Republican as any in the land,
and be invariably supports all measures
matured in Republican councils and ad
vocated in the platforms of the party.
IJke all Senators should do, he claims
the right of expressing his views before
final action, but when this is agreed upon

the Democratic vote. It appears, too,
that a Urge proportion of this vote was
drawn from the Republicans With
each a situation aa that in one State, and
a large vote. 1 his movement is sure to
grow in the South, the West, and prob
ably in the Northwest for a time. It is
not likely to spend itself until the Presi
dential contest tw o years hence, and may
lv represented at that time by a national
ticket of its own. The Alliance claims
to have elected thirty-seven members of
the present House owing allegiance to it
directly, and to have exercised a controll
ing influence in the election of as many
more. All political calculations lor the
immediate future certainly must be baa
ed upon an iotellijcnt appreciation of
this kew force in the political field. It

THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE.
The Platform Adopted at tha Slata
Cowyntlon-l'Tt of Offora.f
The State Farmers' Alliance Convention,
in sesaion at KarrUbur? Wednesday n ght,
adopted lb f .(lowing plat'wn of priorities :
Whimias. There ia s great depression in
the agricultural interests of the country and
a stringency exiata in money matters; and
Wbxbcas, the tax laws of tbia Uiateare
unjust, inequitable, and oppressive, mule ia
tbe interest of fored clause sad to tb in
jury of the mam of the people , therefore be it
RrUid, That the revenue or Ux laws of
this State should be revised by the next Leg
islature, so that every species of projrty.
rea1, jieraonal, and mixed, land, bonds,
stock, money, etc.. be made to bear it due
proportion of the public burdeus. in order to
relieve the owners of real estate from the
unjust taxation to which they are now sub
jected.
llrwjiertl. That the volnme of me currency
ia wholly inadequite fjr the business inter
est of the count?, and by reason therefore
the value of all kinds of property has been
depreciated and financial distress has been
broneht uuou the country : and for relief in
Ibis direction, we fvor the free coinage of
silver, and deprecate any discrimination in
fororof one kind of money attheejpense
of another.
Urmlinl, That we are oppjed to all kinds
of trusts and comb ine whereby the necesfi-
ies of lift fuel, clothing and all articles
which enter into daily nseand consumption.
are abnormally enhanced in price to the
great injury of llie masses.

monopoly in the soil, similar to that existing
in certain Eciro(ean countries wueraineex
ecutive landlord system un-.u.-.
firhi. That free and honest elections
tm,Mrtivlr demand a secret ballot ; and we
roost earnestly request the Iilatureat

pose of making the necessary provision for

card vJass legislation wholly wrong and in

Hives, but wa snail demand Irom neuce

Mind-Reading Outdone.

last fall when V. Alexauder Johiis'otie, the

do the same "trick, as he calls it, ana an
the other iri ks which Johnstone did.
air. Johnstone gave an exhibition here
this afternoon, and Profesaor Oatchet has
not change.! hi opinion of hia work, and
has made an offer otVM to the gymnasium
find, to be paid if be ails to do all s "mind
reader" can.
This afternoon Frofcasor Gatchel did John
Stone's great feat of driving a lively team on
tbe dead run through a number of streets
over which tha commttls had prwioasly
driven.
The first thing done was to decide on a
word to be tiken from Webster' Dictionary,
and tbe committee decided on "mucilage."
A team had been procured, was driven over
a route thirt.s i hlotks long, turning first
one way and then the other, and complica
ting the route as much as possible, ending
where they hd started.
Tbeooramittee then blindfolded Professor
Gatchel with a besvy bandage and then
drew a thick hood over hia head and tied it
dose around the neck.
Everything being ready the prr.frssor and
committee jumped into the carriage. Pro
fessor Gatcliel took Uis lines ami drova tlx
horses on a dead run, first turning one way
and then the other, following tb exact
route taken br the committee. One of the
committee ssked if he could drive a little
slower, and lie laughingly said : "l"s mind-
readers' all drive this way." and lashed the
horses into a fatter run.
Oa arriving back at the oS he went to
the dictionary turned, after a little hesita
lion, to the right page, anJ calling for a
paper and pencil wrote the word "Mucilage'
without Witaiing. An overcoat wa thrown
over bis b l during this Utter part of the
test as an extra pnoaution.

one from (Tnhwgoand one from Ksnsaw City,
siirned "F. R. 8" and declaring tbe Nieelys
to be innocent of the murder, lbs JfoOsrty

. JERRY DENIKS IT.
The above item, taken from a Pittsburgh
paper of Monday, was shown to Jerry Me-
Carty, who is an inmate of the county jan
and w bo has been a fellow prisoner Willi the
Nicely boys for at least two months pest
McCarty says that he never knew a man by
tbe name of Fred Raymond Smith, but that
about 15 months ago, almost three months
after the Cmberger murder, he subscribed
for a book from an agent named T. R.
Smith ; that be was introduced to a man
at that time named Beach by Smith. H
savs that be could not describe the clothing
worn by either, and ia positive tbat neither
of the men he knew nor the clothing worn
by there would correspond with th d. scrip
lion given him of the alleged Cmberger
murderer. The man Miller referred to be
savs is a well known citiaen of Meyersdale.
McCarty had been carefully coached by Jce
Nicely, and has in his poseasession a written
description of three men described in tbe al
leged confession ol Beach end th clothing
worn by tbtn, furnishedhim by Joe Mceiy.
McCarty say further that be did not him
self read tbe affidavit prepared and brought
to him in the county jail on Saturday-a week
last, and that if any affidavit wa presented
to the Board of Pardons containm in
statements alleged in the Harrisburg tele
gram, it was not made by him.
If McCarty can be believed, he enjoyed
the full conndence or Jo Xicely, and could
tell a number of stories In connection with
the efforts rosde to save bis life tbat would
prove mighty interestin' readin to the
people cf Somerset county.
