A non-partisan free coinage
league should be organized in every
precinct in Cass county.
After Oregon and Washington dem
ocrats declared for free coinage, and
following these two western coast
states, Colorado and Missouri have
followed, being, if possible, more em
phatic in their declarations, and the
trend of events is altogether in that
direction.
The News has gracefully come down
from its perch in ridicule of the silver
movement in the democratic party and
admits that the silver wing of the
party will control the democratic
national convention. Silver isn't so
"dead" an issue as it was a few months
ago. -

tory yesterday, at Sedalia, and for
mally endorsed Richard 1. Bland, the
great silver coinage advocate, for
president Gov. Stone making the
nominating speech. A full delegation
of free coinage advocates were elected
delegates to the national convention.
Wall street financiers stood no show in
that gathering, but a strong 1G to 1
platform was adopted.
The president has sent to the senate
the nomination of Fitz Hugh Lee to be
consul general at Havanna, Cuba, vice
Ramon O. Williams, resigned.
McKialej's Ambiguity
Is Mr. McKinley's financial platform
clean and logical ? To me it seems as
ambiguous as a Delphic oracle. lie
says "We want good money, made of
the two metals, gold and silver, both
of the same value in debt paying and
purchasing power." This is fine talk,
but how is Mr. McKinley going to
make the two dollars have the same
commercial value? Will he put
enough silver into the silver dollar, to
make its commercial value equal to
the present gold dollar, or will he steal
from the populists their fiat and put it
onto the silver dollar, to make it and
the gold dollar at parity ? Which ?

This is without my authority. I am a

the decisions of the rightfully con

JJidn't Like Nebraska City.
Officer Fitzpatrick captnred three
boys up in the B. & M. railroad yards
on Tuesday. They gave their names
as Joe O'Brien, Frank Hall and Chas.
Hall. Joseph was apparently about
twelve years old, the other two about
fourteen, and they gave their home as
Nebraska City. It seems that the
boys came up from the City last night
on the Iowa side of the river, crossed
here, and got as far as La Flatte on
their way to Omaha, when they were
put off by a heartless brakeman, and
decided to return home via the
" Walk'er" route. They were very re
pentent and tearful when overhauled
by the officer, and begged to be al
lowed to continue their stroll toward
the sunny south, and were accorded
the privilege.

WHAT OTOE THINKS.
From the Nebraska City News.
Lancaster and Cass made the tie-up
and Bud Lindsay represents the re
publicans of those two counties at St.
Louis. He does not represent the dis
trict or the people.
Col. Druesdow was a good guesser
when he predicted yesterday that
Lindsay and Dovey would be the dele
gates to the republican national con
vention from this congressional dis
trict.
The republican firm of Lindsay &
Dovey may do business for the repub
licans of this congressional district,
but the respectable portion of the re
publican party vow that it will cost
Congressman Strode and other re
publican candidates that come up this
fall many votes.
The republicans everywhere in this
section of the state are a decidedly
sick lot over Bud Lindsay being
crowded down their neck: as a dele
gate to the national republican conven
tion. They would not perhaps have
gagged so had it been a half way de
cent negro, but this reneeade makes
them decidedly nauseated. They
promise to make it warm for any can
didate that may come up for office
from either Cass or Lancaster county.

you can't afford to now-a-days, unless

cheaper than you can buy cotton cloth,

Death of An Old KetmJeut.
At two o'clock this morning, II.
Alford, a resident of Plattsmouth for
nearly twenty yt-ars, died, at his home
on West Granite street, of consump
tion. Deceased was about fifty-two
years of age and leaves a wife and
three children, the eldest being about
fourteen years old. Until several
years ago, he was employed in the 13.
& M. blacksmith shop, but failing
health compelled him to seek outside
work, and since then he has been do
ing carpenter worn until several
months ago, when the dread malady
commenced its final work, and he took
to his bed. Mr. Alford was well
known and liked for his honesty and
industrious ways, and his death will
be sincerely mourned by a large circle
of friends, besides by his family.
The funeral will occur tomorrow af
ternoon at two o'clock, from the M.
E. church.
