He has never cowed to call them thieves, murderer and 11- 1.,1-l.tT sturTers. and. as I.e generally told the truth from a iersoual knowl edge, what he said cut deep. Ana to think that Bryan has to accept nun as runnine mate in preference toewau. Tlie position not even serious it is ridiculous. fFRTAix Democrats, who have pro fessed to he most anxious about sound monev. savs. the New York Tribune, act as if they were hunting excuses for supporting Bryan. They are distressed liecau.se McXinley mentions iwpu oil can principle about the tariff, and pro fess creat fear lest he will "urive otraU of their sort back into the Bryan camp. Well, if they can he sent there I an v courteous and temperate auo- oacy of Republican principles, we must fear that that is where tney Deiong. These are times which test whether a man is Patriot, or half Patriot; half Partisan, or w holly and blindly Parti san. If he is I'atnot, ne win vote ior the only candidate against repudiation and Anarchy who can ptwsibly be elect ed. If Patriot and Part'uan alout bal- aiu, he will throw away his vote on some ticket which can not be elected. If he is Partisan enough to vote for Brvsu under any conditions or circuni- atauces, he lielongs with the Anarchists and repudiators, and may as well be reckoned from the start an enemy to be overcome. The case is this: Tlie time are bad, and the people demand a remedy. Tlie Republicans have proposed one sufli clent revenue by a moderate Protective tariff to sweep away apprehension and revive industries and butineas. That is something definite, and w liether men like it or not, Is no experiment, but ha lieen thoroughly tested for thirty year and has brought the highest prosperity ever attained. The Popocrats at Chic ago projiosed one free coinage of sil ver, debts payable in fifty -three cent dollars, and free rioting. Tlie silver bugs and the agents hired by their mill ions hae persuaded multitudes that this is a definite and positive remedy, although Mr. Bryan himself, who has been declared without denial as yet seen to lie one of those agents, admits that at first it would bring a panic The Populist at St. Louis also offered a remedy fiat money in plenty, land ta ken from corporations, railroads and telcirraphs taken by Government They believe profoundly in the efficacy of their remedy, though their Convention was itsidi?.ed by the silver million aires to iut the silver issue forward also. These three, whether good or bail, are positive changes which are projio sed as remedies for bad times. What have the sound money Democrats pro posed? No silver coinage, no Protec tion, no fiat money or aWrption of railroads and telegraphs. Three nega tions only; nothing to lie changed and nothing to lie done in order to bring better times than Cleveland and sound money have iriven us already.- Is it in the least strange that multitudes of IVmoerats, disgusted with the last three years, voted down the negations in convention, and went for the aeh liite change which, seemed to them most attractive and promising? But the aame sound - monev iK-moerats think it wie to set up a ticket repre senting that plau of negations, their n-rcmedy l"?licy, and this they Judge uwearj- to prevent some of them from drifting over to Bryan, free silver and Alian hv. It is f..r them tojudge. They U-t know how many of them prefer to throw away their votes. But the Republican iiarty is absolutely forced to adhere, and holds it the high est of public duties to adhere, to the definite and oitive remedy it has of fered. It is forced to do so, because it knows that nothing but strong attach ment U the Protective jsilicy will pre vent many of its Western friends vot ing for some iritive remedy, if it offers none. It is IsKind by a sense of duty to urire frankly and manfully the only remedy which, according to iu convic tions, will restore the confidence and the proerity enjoyed under the lie- publican policy prior to lssi3. It lie- comes the duty of Republicans to a.ssail the free-silver heresy with all their might, proving that it is not in any sense a remtdy, but a deadly poison, and this they must of necessity do side by side with their ad voeacy of a change in National policy to make the cur rency sound and the industries pros jierous.

M Anfsox, Wis., Aug. 2. In his speech at Monroe 1-ake on Friday night. Sena tor Thurston, of Nebraska, made the pos tive statement thai' William J. Bryan bad been employed and paid by the free silver combine to make seeches in their interest. Mr. Thurston said : Who has carried on this great stiver campaign In these years, when the condition of the people has been such as to make them easy subjects for this pre sentation, who has made this plausible nd wonderful promise of something for nothing ? Who has lieon carrying it on ? I have not come here to-day to say oue unjust word against any living man, but the peopleof this country have a right to know as to whether or not the great ad vocates of free silver are carrying ou this campaign out of love for the people or as the hired employee of that great silver bonanza institution w hich i asking the American people to double the value of its silver output. Why this opening of our mines to the free coinage of the metal? On the 11th day of July, lsi, a llemocratic paper, the Chicago Chroni cle, the one great Iieinocralie sheet of the Northwest, published this in double leaded type on its editorial page : "The proprietors of the big lionanzas have found it profitable to keep a large number of orators, lecturers and other spokesmen on the road preaching to the people. Among the many who have thus lwn employed and earned on the pay rolls of the big Umanaaa for a number of years ia illiaiu J. Bryan, of Nebraska, (hisses and ap plause) a paid agent and spokesman for the free silver combine.'' That charge was thus publicly, specific ally, directly made on the 11th day of July by one of the greatest Iemocratio newspapers in the Cniled States. In the city of Omaha, where William J.Bryan does editorial woi k on the iuaha World Herald, the other znut paper there, ika Omaha Bee, has u'letliat scino charge editorially time and lime again. It has never ls?en mil I do no! stand here to say an unkind thinof Mr. Bryan. I d i n.it stand here to say that would Is? any reaaon why the people of this country should not vite fur him. You must decide that for your selves. But w hat I do say as an Ameri can citizen, having at heart the welfare of this people I do say that that man, losing as the advocate of the down-trodden masses of his countrymen, holding a crown of thorns in one hand and the bugaboo of a gold cross in the other I say that man owes it as a duty to every man and child in this country to say whether that charge is false or whether it is true. (Ureal applause.) I do say, my countrymen snd J know whereof I apeak that for three years anl a half, w ithout regard to Bryan, there has ls?en a selected corps of orators and writers, paid employes of the silver pnxlueers, spreading their literature over this coun try from one end to the other, telling the farmer that he will have more for his wheat, teliing the laboring man that he will have more for his work. I wish I could talk to you five hours and a half to day in order to reach all of these heresies. Lixcoi.n, Neb., Aug. 2. Mr. Bryan has declined to authorize a denial of Senator Thurston's statement, saying that it will Is? mvle at the proper time. Washington, Aug. i Senator Stewart of Nevada,- has denied the accusation made by Mr. Thurston, and has called upon him to prove it or withdraw it. Way Silver it Cheap. It is stated on what seems to be compe tent authority that in ls73 the total pro duct of silver in tlie world was Cl.lut.inj ounces and the silver in a dollar was worth f 1.(4 in gold. I.ast year the world's product of silver was bV),i,ul ounces and the silver in a dollar was worth only 30 7-10 cents. In 14 the potato crop of the United Slates was, in round numbers, 170,i.mi bushels and the average price 5.1 cents. Inlsiiitbe estimated potato crop was iiiii bushels and the average price was 2i cents. The fall in loth cases wm due to the same cause. But when the farmer's potaUsfs fall to half the former price how much good will it do him to compel him to take silver dollars for them worth only 50 cents each? That brings the 3ti cents down to 13 cents. Harrity St tire i. William F. Harrity, until recently the Chairman of the lemcratic National Commiitee, has retired from active poli tics. In answer to inquiries upon the subject Mr. Harrity made the following statement: "Yes, it is true that I have determined to withdraw from active participation in Iiolitjcal affairs. For several years past I have lieen accorded some prominence in the management and leadership of the Democratic party, Iwt I now desire to take my place in the ranks, except in so far as I may have duties to perform as the Pennsylvania member of the Democratic National Committee. "In taking this step, I wish to express my warm appreciation of the ersonal and political friendship and support which I have enjoyed during my politi cal career. I have no resentments for my enemies and nothing but gratitude for friends. No man ever had warmer or more loyal and devoted friends than I have had. These friends I still hope to retain, even though I have withdrawn from active political association with them; and if the time shall come when I can serve or aid them it will ls my pleas ure to resjHnd to their calls or d-inan ls.

Senator Wolcott, w boe frieuds yesterday sue. ceded in carrying the Republican State committee in opposition to Senator Teller and the strong silver element, to-night issued a statement to the voters of this common wealth in which h say that while the financial plank of the Republican party ia unsatisfactory to bim, it pledges the party to the furtherance of bimetallism by international agreement. He reaf firms bis belief in the importance of pro tection, praises McKinley and says that he can not stand on the Chicago platform, even with the alluring free coinage plank. He says be will stay in the party, and adds that "we who lielieve in free coinage know it will never come out of the jum ble and folly of the Chicago platform, nor w ill it be heralded by the Populists." Bewail is Set, Too. Bath, Me.. July 3!. Arthur Sewall was interviewed this afternoon regarding the rumor that he was about to resign in favor of Tom Watson, and said: ''Any man who for a minute would en tertain such an idea is not worthy of be ing answered." Mr. Sewall then oontinued: "I can not say whether or not Mr. Bry an will accept a place on the Populist ticket. He will come to Bath immedi ately after his notification, ' which will protwbly take place in New York. I will induce him to make his headquarters at my house while in Maine. Mrs. Bryan Will accompany her husband." KOADS OF THE STATE. Export Opinion oa The Requisites of Dur able Highway. In a communication to Secretary Edge, of the State department of agriculture, Prof. John Hamilton, deputy secretary and director of farmers' institutes, says there is a special necessity for complete and durable highways, and diascusscs the subject of roads in an exhaustive man ner. Rapid communication and transporta tion, whether by steamship, railroad, trolley or country road, he says, are de manded by our civilization, aud this de mand is not simply for the gratification of the pleasure-seeker or the luxurious, but is a necessity in business. If the farmers who have charge of the highways of the Slate do not construct good roatU within a reasonable time, it will be done for them within the next 3) years, and they will likely have to foot the bills. There areover 80,(XIU miles of roads in Pennsylvania outside of the wards and boroughs aud cities, aud not including the turupike roMda under ixnorate con trol. For the year ending May SI, 1SH5, these miles of road cost the fanners of Pennsylvania just $-!,tj7.1.!i, or at the rate of f IS.7J ier mile. This expense has been continued for many years, aud yet a comparatively small amount of the roads throughout the State can 1 truth fully designated good Prof. Hamilton says the supreme char a4cristii: of a good roads is its dryness. Wouie road builders, he says, if judged by their work, would s?iu to believe that a good road ought always to be wet, for they have permitted them to iwume a form lest suited to collect and retain the rains that fall. The building of a dry road in most places is an exceedingly simply matter. Jot raise the surface that the water can run off, make it slightly oval and provide side ditchm to carry off the drainage. The next requUlieof a good road. Prof. Hamilton says, is that it Is solid at all seasons of tlie year, and lilat is recom mended as the !t material to secure a condition. No stone, says he, should be put on a public road that will not go through an inch and a half ring. lcaue the main purpose of the ballast la to form a roof impervious to w ater, and small stones, ranging from an inch and a half down to powder, placed upon a prepared founda tion, will compact into a mass almost as solid as concrete, and rain falling upon Mich a road is shed as effectually as from a cemented floor. A few minutes ex posure afterward to the sun and wind will dry it off and leave it in fine condi tion for immediate use. The third quality of a good road. Prof, Hamilton says, is that it is of easy grade. Many roads are so located that no matter how dry or solid they may lie they are practically unserviceable, owing to the tep grades, which prevent rapid travel and the handling of sufficient loads. The fimrtb and last requisite of a good road is that it shall Is? smooth, which can be accomplished by the supervisor hav ing stones on them removed at least o nee a mouth. These then, says Prof. Hamilton, are the qualities of a good road dry, solid, easy grade, smooth. Such roads are ob tainable by nearly every district iu the State, and to smmre them no additional expenditure is needed, or any increase of tax, only a little more . careful manage ment in giving direction to the labor em ployed and money expended. Prof. Hamilton also offers suggestions looking to the maintenance of gsd roads. Their greatest enemy is uegUx-t. He sug gests that every mile of road iu Pennsyl vania should have a competent persons who will not only see that it is not des troyed but is daily improved. The roads in the township should be divided into districts of not over 12 miles each, and a g.iod common day laborer be put in each diatrict, whose duty it should l to work each i'ay on some portion of the ro&d. It is further suggested that half the road tax 1 paid in cash and the other half in work and that every male taxable over 21 years of age should be required to pay a road tax of at least the prie of one day's work. All wagons hauling over two tons should be required to have six Inch wide tic a. Slate aid in the construction of roads is promised when the farmers shall have shown that they are able to expend their own money to the best possible advan tage ou roads in their districts. WaUoa is Still Defiant. Atlanta, Ua July CM. Thomas F. Watson, the candidate of the Populist party for the Vice Presidency, telegraph ed to the '"Constitution" this morning as follows: In the event that Sewall does not retire the Populists will put out a full electoral ticket. There cau be no fusion unless Sewall withdraws. I give you this mere ly as my opiuion. He sends a second tele-gram, inwhith he announces that the executive commit tee will determine all these questions and perhaps the State convention will do it, aud adds that he stands by his letter to the Augusta Chronicle, in which he stat ed that unless Sewall retired there were but two plans for action. One was two distiiK-t electoral tickets, and a second electoral ticket composed largely of Democrats and panly of Populists. He concludes his telegram to-day by the statement : My own judgment is that we must run a full electoral ticket unless Scs all retire. They go t The Ptn. Pirrni-Ri. July .

Seifert was before the Court in connection with the administration of the estate of Itu dolph Cierkow, a ri b brewer, who died here this week. Platter represented some of the Iwnuriciaries of the will op fiosing Seifert. When Court adjiMirned the two men met iu the corridor. Seifert claims that Platter struck him with his cane. Seifert then drew a revolver and fired, the shot passing through Platter's heart Seil'crt then walked into the Sheriffs office aud gave himself up.
