DECLARES FOR A GOLD STANDARD But Will Cast His Vote for Bryan and Sow all, "the Candidates or the Kegular Democratic Party" Willing to Mako the Fight on State Issues. AL11ANY, Sept 81. I3y moklnjr nn offi cial stntomont Into lust night of his po sition upon tho financial question, nnd by doclnrlng in that statement that ho Is un alterably for gold, John Doyrt Thnchor, Dcmocrntlo nomlnoo for governor, crontej one of tho most curious situations ovei known in politics In this state. Tho stntomont was lssuod after n long conforonco with Senator Hill, Elliot Q. Danforth, who was nt Sonator Hill'i hosuo, and D. Cndy Horrlok, tho Demo cratic loudor In this county. It was ad dressed to tho chairman of tho stnte com mittee. It is bellovod that this eourso it approved by Sonator Hill, William F. Shochnn and othors not lu attontlanre at tho stnto convention, nnd is Intended tc try and fend oil any nomination of a soc ond Domocratlo ticket at Brooklyn and enforce n. fight at tho polls upon stats issues lonving tho nntlonal ticket entirely out of tho quostlon. Mr. Thnchor declares that ho Is against freo sllvor, but will rote for Bryan and Sewnll for regularity, and light tho cam paign on stnto Issues only. Tho lettor says in pnrt: "I cannot ask for tho confldenco and support of tho people of the stato without frankly tloolarlng my position upon the financial Usuo now agitating tho public. I stand today where I stood in tho month of Juno In thoprosonco of a convention ol the stato nomocracy. I havo not changed nn lota In my bollof, nor doviatod n step in my eourso. Tho commercial honor ol this country is pledged to tho world, nnd tho world knows that tho nation will maintain its honor. "I took part in tho stato convention which sent dologatos to represent tho party In national convention at Chicago. Those dologatos, by participation, ncviulosccd in tho action of tho national convention by presenting cnndldatos for tho ofllces of prcsldont nnd vico president of tho United States. Tho stato convention of tho Dem ocratic party has ratlilod tho nomination of thoso candidates. "I havo learned from tho fathors and In turn havo ondoavorod to tench that the Democratic jinrty Is a vehiclo to carry the will of tho pooplo Into effect. Such a ve hiclo Is constructed with difficulty, but Is easily destroyed. Failure now and then to perform absolutely satisfactory service will not justify tho uttr.- destruction of tho vohlclo. It was constructed to liear not onlyono burden, but many and various burdens. When tho financial burden 1 finally disposed of, tho peoplo will still employ tho Domocratlo party to support their purposes and to carry them into ef fect. When thoy do thus employ that party I for ono do not wnnt it to bo shat tered, but to Iks strong ond efficient. Thoreforo, I shall cast my voto for Will lam Jonnings Bryan nnd Arthur Sowall, tho candidates In duo and regular form chosen by n majority of that convention. "I regret that I cannot bo In full accord on tho question of flnanco with tho sent! mont of tho lato convontlon, but If my po sition scorns Inharmonious with tho usual nttltudoof u candidate towards his party It should bo romomborod that tho conditions nro also unusunl. In nominating mo I must nssumo that tho convention wns not unawnro of my financial vlows, as ex pressed iu my public utterances, and that It was Induced to accord mo that distin guished honor in vlow of tho fact that un der tho constitution a governor of this stato has no official connection whatover with matters portalnlng to tho national currency. "It wns apparent nt Chicago and Buf falo, and is cxpros sed by overy gathering of citizens where public questions nro dis cussed, that tho people are dissatisfied with tho present condition of public af fairs, nnd I am In sympathy with ovory movement, not revolutionary in character, which socks to tako bunions off tho shoul der of tho inussos und to restore prosperity nnd poaco to nil tho poople. "Whon tho Republican legislature ad journed in May, 1B90, It loft a record be hind it which overy Domocrat and Inde pendent voter In tho stnto belloved would bo at issuo before tho peoplo this full. No question purely national should bo per mitted to divert our peoplo In this stnto from pronouncing, by a change of admin istration, a verdict against this record." Mr. Thachor then procoeds at length In an arrulgnmont of tho Republican stato administration, and concludos: "It Is not Important that I or any other particular individual should bo olocted governor. It Is Important that the power of ono man should not bo perpotuntcd by two years more of Ilopubllcnu exocutivo control." Killed In a Huttlo with I'oll'ee. I'lilLADKU'lllA, Supt. 21.

Number of THE TABLES TURNED 'OH RAGUS He Caused the Arrest of Two Men, Charge lng Them With Highway Robbery, But They Showed Him Up In Poor Light Before the Justice. Saturday brought with it a number of the "scraps" and other disturliniues usual on pay days and, as ono of the consequence, Justico J. J. Canlin had a crowded docket. In nono of tho casos, however, were there any Incidents of a thrilling diameter, sucl ns shooting, or stabbing, which mirkcd a number of tho encounters of tho last pay day. Tho most conspicuous wns that for which Frank Itagin stands committed pending pay ment of tho costs. From tho facts brought out nt tho hearing Hagus Is a menace to so ciety and his proper placo is behind the liars. Late Saturday night he appeared licforo Jus tico Canlin and alleged that Mike ll.itu.ski and Georgo Shnshlnski had waylaid him on Glover's Hill and robbed him of ?103 in cash. Tho accused men were arrested, hut they proved Itngus a per juror. They produced a billy which they took from Kagus. Tho ovidenco was that Kagus was lying in wait for passers-by on Glover's Hill lato Saturday night. Ho approached Ilatuski nnd Shashlnskl, but they caught sight of tho billy and quickly turned tho tables on Kagus. After getting the man down they took tho weapon from him and then gavo mm a few parting reminders with their fists. They also showed that Kagus had no money on his person at tho time of tho nssault. An Englishman who lives near tho sccno wns n witness for the two accused men. Justice (Jnrdin liecamo convinced that Kagus had lied and ordered him to pay tho costs. In default ho was committed to tho lockup, and is still there. Tho Justice says that many of tho Polish and Lithuanian pooplo havo learned that if a bill in a caso of Iarcony is ignored or nol pressed the costs are always saddled upon tho county, and cannot ho put on tho prosecutor, and they strain a point to base a cliargo of larceny, or highway robbery whenever they want rovengo. Tho Justico decided tn maku an example of Kagus. At a lato hour Saturday night a man pre senting n perfect typo ef adversity, or reck lessness, was found by the polico trying to gain ontmnco to tho basement of a liouso on Mayberry alley. He could give no explana tion to tho police, savo that he was drunk und didn't know what ho was doing. Ho re mained In tlio lockup until to-day and was discharged upon paying the borough fine for disorderly conduct. Ho said his name was Dougherty and that he lived near Mt. Carbon. Ho promised to leave and keep away lrom this town. Eight drunks weio given shelter in tho lockup Saturday night and three more joined them last night. All paid fines to cscapo en forced lodgings for IS hours. Joseph Gctritus got drunk Saturday night and Kcauso ho could not get moro drink at tho saloon of John Kuskofski. on North WJilto street, ho smashed four windows of the place with a club. He was gathered in by tho polico and Is now in tho lockup, wait ing for his friends to got together sulllcient money to liquidate the damages and costs.
