ITNEY E
Reiterates His Views on the Question
of Free Silver.
FEARS SILYER MONOMETALLISM I
The Democratic Party, He Thinks, la In
Danger of Disruption Through Mistaken
Ideas He Would Not Accept the
Presidency Even If Elected,
New Vokk, Juno 22. William C. Whit
ney makes public n statement in which ho
dellnos the political sltuiitlon, makes his
position clear as regards his decision to re
main In this country Instead or going to
Europe, and concludes by saying that ho
Is not a presidential possibility; that ho
would not run If nominated ana would
not servo If elected." Tho statement Is In
part ns follows :
I find It necossnry to mnko a public
statement embodying my vlows on tho
situation, to correct! misconceptions and
savo tlmo now occupied In nnswerlng ques
tions. "Fur too much lmportnnco has been at
tached to my decision to go to tho Chi
cago convontion. I havo been practically
out of politics for four years and thero aro
now mnny eastern Domocrnts who can do
much moro than I can forthopnrty. I
shall not assume any position of leader
ship. My decision to stay was simply
based on tho duty of ovory person who be
lieves In tho party for its principles, to
stay by and lend hlsnid and tako his chances
when tho great crisis Is upon tho Demo
cratic party. Fundamental differences
of prlnclnlo exist lnsldo tho party, marked
almost by sectional linos.
"iho great question to my mind is
whether tho party meets In convention
now, as In lSfiO, with Issues and differences
that nro for tho moment Irreconcilable.
For tho past fifteen years leaders of public
opinion in tho south and west havo been
advocating as tho groat romcdy for oxlst-
lng Ills tho f reo coinage of silver at 10 to 1,
with or without tho co-operation of other
nations. It has como to bo believed in
thero quito generally and conscientiously.
A. largo majority of tho delegates to tho
coming Democratic convontion havo been
elected by tho peoplo for tho purpose) of in
corporating that doctrlno Into tho plat
form of the Domocratio party.
Our peoplo, on tho othor hand, entirely
ulsugreo with theso vlows and bellovo al
most universally that It will bring guneral
ruin to tho business and prosperity of tho
country. It is deemed a now doctrlno
when proposed to bo Incorporated Into tho
platform of tho national Democracy. It
Is truo that in no previous platform of tho
party ran It specifically bo found. Conse
quently no party obligations heretofore as
sumed obligo them to subscribe to it. It
is to bo seriously npprohcndod that in tho
event of such a declaration n disruption of
tho Domocratio party might occur.
"This movement for frco colnago pur
ports to havo for Its object tho establish
ment and malntenanco of gold and silver
ns tho money or tho country upon equal
terms with each othor, and at a parity of
purchasing power. If by tho proposed
measure that object could bo secured there
would not bo substantial disagreement in
tho party. Every national Democratic
platform that has heretofore spoken upon
tho subject has declared for both gold and
silver money. It Is our traditional policy
Hut tho malntenanco of tho doublo stand'
ard at tho present tlmo Is not a quostlon
of desire; It is a question or ability.
"Tho commercial voluo of silver has de
clined greatly in tho markets of tho world,
Whatover tho causes aro and whoover Is
to blamo, tho fact Is that silver has de
clined, and frco colnago now nt 10 to 1 Is
tho samo as our offering lor all tho silver
In tho world about twice what It Is Pollltijj
for In tho market. International' ex
change? havo to bo paid In gold. And It
would socm plain that If wo, under theso
conditions, open our mints to tho freo
colnago of silver and gold at a ratio of
comnaratlvo valuo which is largely at va
rianco with tho commercial valuo of tho
two metals, wo must tako tho entire sliver
surplus ourselves, maintain Its parity with
gold, or olso wo shall go to a silver basis.
"Franco In 1873 olosed her mints against
silver and abandoned this experiment,
dooming herself unequal to tho task alono,
nnd at that tlmo It was much less difficult.
for silver was then nt pur with gold at tho
ratio In uso, nnd oven England's mints In
India woro oiwn to tho frco colnago of
silver. If tho experiment of mnlntntnln
tho parity of tho two metals at a colnago
standard was difficult then, it would seem
to bo positively hopeless now without in
ternational ngreemont. Germany, Franco,
Belgium, Italy and Austria bellovo In a
doublo standard and dosiro to establish It,
but no one, two or threo of thorn deem
thoniselvos ablo to maintain tho doublo
standard, oven with tho oo-operatlon of
tho United stntos.
"You cannot havo such a dlsturbanco of
valuo as would como from tho changing
from a cold to a sliver basis, without such
a shock to confldoneo, tho hoarding of
cold and contraction or your available cir
culating medium as would bring, In tho
opinion of our peoplo, tho worst panto nnd
distress wo havo over seen In this country
Tho creditor classos are prepared for It.
Tho obligations, mortgagos, railroad nnd
otherwise, uro qulto goncrally payable In
cold. Dobts would still havo to 1m irnld In
gold, but wagos In silver, tho sufferers, ns
usual, bolng tho poorer classes.
"Thero has nover boon a tlmo whon tho
prospects of International action favor-
ablo to tho joint standard were at all as
promising as nt tho present momont. Hut
on ill ndvlsod, unsuccessful attonipt hero
would discredit tho cnuso tho world over.
"It cannot bo donlod that tho fooling
umong our pooplo Is that this freo coinage
by tho United Statos alono will not glvo
lis tho gold anil silver inonoy at a purity
with each other (which Is tho assumption
upon which It is taken), but will bring us
to silver monometallism and a chungo lit
our standard of valuo, and that change, It
is beliovod, inoans immediate ruin to our
Industries and no pormunont good to any
ouo. This feeling Is general and Intouso.
"Host uuv wi rlll''0 might be askod to
Democrats for tho sake of the party, and
they would cheerfully make It. Hut If tho
delegates from this locality should go to
that convention nnd vote for the frcocoin
ngo of silver by the United Ktntos alono
they would bo misrepresenting tho stnto
of publlo opinion here.
"I Hurt myself spoken of hero and there
ns a possible candldatu, not very seriously
or prominently, but sufficiently to attract
attention if I should fall to notice it. I
havo said that I would not bo a candidate
will ndd, copying the emphatic Inn-
gungo once used by tho lute General Sher
man, 'I will not run If nominated, nor
servo if elected.' I am not foolish enough
to suppose that any eastern man could bo
nominated by this convention, much less
that I could."

Mr. Brumm Vigorously Objects to the
Commonwealth's Line of Questioning,
and He and Judge Savldgc Engaged
la a War of Words.
Hpeelnl to Evesi.vo Herald.
Pottsville, Juno 22. Tho fato of Theo
dore Eisenhower, on trial since the 15tli inst.
(or tho murder of John Schwlndt, will soon
bo determined. It is believed tho prisoner
will hear it by Thursday morning. Thero is
considerable speculation as to what tho
verdict in tho case will be, but from tho
opinions thus far expressed by tho public it
seems to bo considered by a majority
of tho peoplo that tho jury will not decide
upon a verdict In tho second degree. Thero
aro also a number of peoplo who believe there
will bo an acquittal. In this they agreo with
Congressman Brumm and Captain Georgo W.
Dyson, counsel for tho accused. Both theso
gentlemen say that when they first entered
upon tho case they realized that they had
great uphill work, but they now feel con
fident that an acquittal can bo secured. On
tho other hand District Attorney liechtol and
John Whalen, Esq.. aro positive that
Elsenhower will bo convicted, and that upon
tho evidenco tho jury cannot get away from
placing tiielr vordict in tho highest degree.
as in all jury trials, and especially in
murder cases, much will depend upon tho
manner In which tho counsel on the respec
tive sides will weavo tho threads of evidenco
in tho final arguments and. of course, the
stand which Judgo Savidgo will tako in
charging tho jury. Tho Commonwealth has
intimated that tho Judgo will 1h) obliged on
tho evidenco adduced to mako a chargo fore
shadowing conviction. Mr. Brumm is still
determined to tako a whole day in making a
linal cllort for tho prisoner before tho jury.
Iho Commonwealth will not ask as much
timo a9 first reported. Mr. Whalen will mako
tho first address and speak about two hours.
District Attorney Bechtel will tako an hour
and a half in making tho closing address.
If this program is adhered to tho case should
go to tho jury Wednesday afternoon.
Tho jury in tho caso spoilt as pleasant a
Sabbath as could bo expected when cloven
men aro kept together under guard of court
oilicials and not allowed to mingle with the
public, or havo communication with it. Tho
jurors wero allowed to tako walks on tho
streets of Pottsvillo and tho suburbs under
Instructions from tho court that they should
not speak to anybody, or allow anybody to
speak to them concerning the case, and that
tho jurors bo kept away from gatherings and
not allowed to come in contact with any than
court oilicials in passing from one place to
another. They were also allowed to take
trolloy rides, but only on condition that tho
railway company give them solo use of tho
car. In consequence of Levi Kissinger, one
of tho jurors, being ill, the court mado a
special order that a special guard bo left with
him, tho rest of tho jurors bo allowed to
seprato from him under guard and enjoy the
Sunday tho best they could under tho other
conditions imposed.
Judge Savidgo arrived at 2 o clock this af.
tcruoou, and tho trial was resumed by tho
Commonwealth calling Eisenhower, tho
prisoner, to tho stand for cross-examination
Mr. Whalen asked him to detail what ho did
on tho day previous to tho day of tho shoot
ing, as to what ho wore and where he carried
tho revolver, and how many shots ho fired at
tho tree. Tho witnesses testified that ho
fired two or threo shots. Upon previous
cross-examination ho suited that ho emptied
every chamber of tho revolver. I his was
tho only contradictory evidence elicited from
tho prisoner by tho Commonwealth.
Mr. Brumm mado a strong and earnest
fight against this line of cross-examination,
and objected to every question asktd, claim
ing that tho Commonwealth had no right to
call Eisenhower again for tho purpose of en
deavoring to mako the prisoner contradict
himself, but his objections wero overruled by
tho court. Mr. Brumm claimed that the
Commonwealth should havo exhausted that
lino of questioning on tho cross-examination.
Ho and Judgo Savidgo became invoice! in a
boated discussion over tho matter at ouo
tlmo.
Both sides oxpect to havo all tho evidenco
in by the timo court adjourns this afternoon.
