morn or less trouble before the affair I
omled.
The occasion was the nnnual meeting o
the rluli nnd the fret ! silver element o
the organization wns out In full force. Tin
meeting was held In a small room In tin
back part of the building occupied by tin
club rooms. The walls of this room were
decorated with several portraits. Over tin
clialr of the presiding olllccr wan a largi
framed portrait of David I ) . Hill nnd undoi
ItVIIH n small unframed print of the patrol
sulnt of the club , the Intc leader of the los
cause. On one of the side walls wen
framed portraits of Adlal Stevenson am
.Martin Van Huron and on the other sldi
was a similar portrait of Keoruo Washing
ton. The companion portrait of Hrovoi
Cleveland , which formerly occupied tin
place of honor on the walls of this room
was conspicuous by Its absence.
KUY TURNED OX OUTSIDERS.
When the members of the club had asscm
Tiled a. careful examination was made to nn
that no Interlopers were present , nnd thci
the door was locked. The meeting proceeds
ot once to business and the charges preferrei
November 14 , against members ot the clul
wci'o read. These charges were signed l > :
Kd 1' . Smith and I. J. Dunn , nnd nllego th.i
the members named had been guilty of no
Fiipportlns the Hryaii-Se\vall ticket ilurlw

lie excelled from membership In the club
The notlre nont to each of the accused mem
liera , ordering them to appear at the meet
Ing then In session and dhow cause why tlie ;
hould not be expelled was also read.
It was then moved that the club proccot
to take up the cose of each of thu accusci
iiiPinUers separately and hear any evldenci
that might ho offered. None of the nccutici
-were present , but that did not deter tin
meeting from proceeding with what some o
those prt\u"it called "a trial. "
Don C. Ayer was the first victim to bo led
to the slaughter. J. J. O'Connor raised the
jiolut that these men might not have received
the notl'o to appear. He was quickly si
lenced , however , when one of the oincera
called his attention , In a whisper , to the
stack of letters on the secretary's desk.
These letters were written by the gentlemen
nbout to bo thrown out Into the cold world
nnd contained conclusive proof that the writ
ers had been duly notified of the proposed ac
tion of tliu club. Some of the letters were
couched In language more forcible than etc-
Kant , nnd Invited the belligerent free sllver-
lles to sojourn In n place where It never
snows. Other writers took the time to Inform -
form the club that they ( the writers ) ad-
liereil to the principles of true democracy
nnd regarded the course of the club In the
last campaign In much the snino light as
bushwhackers were regarded In tlmo of war.
None of these letters were read to the meet
ing , nnd few except the olllccrs were per
mitted to see their contents. The letters
worn highly edifying , nnd one In particular
innclo very interesting reading. This was the
letter written by Postmaster Kuclld .Martin
in answer to the notice sent him to nppear
for trlnl. For the Information of the mem
bers of the club who were not permitted to
read It , the letter Is given herewith In full :

\Valvlng any tc < finicalities. I l.urpoao call-
ins your aiieiuioii to a few facts In rela
tion to this matter. That we may discus ?
the subject Intelligently , let us llrst deter
mine what line object of the Jaeksontan
club In in this summary action. Is U for
Ihe purpose cllher of disciplining your mem
bership or enforcing that democratic doc
trine that "the rnajorlly tnust rule , " or
miiHl we look further for the motlvu which
nctuales you ?
SKHKINO A MOTIVR.
I take It for granted that It Is not n de
sire upon your part to enforce obedience Id
Hut rule requiring submission lo Ihe ma
jority , because you chaw mo with failure
to support William .1. Hryan for president ,
whom you designate ns the regular noml-
nre. Cerlalnly your claim would fall In thin
case from Ihe very Impropriety in using Mr.
Uryan'n name , because he himself has violated
lated this rule In not submitting to the will
of the people as expressed November last ,
but Immediately upon receipt of the Information
mation thai the pcoi.lo of the United States
hnd decided against him , announced that
he would not submit nnd allow Mr. McKlu-
ley a fair chance to demonstrate the Justice
of his platform , but upon the contrary an
nounced that the battle had just begun ;
and , hrslilcs this , Mr. Hryan has at various
times during the past live or six years stated
publicly that he would not support candi
dates or platform at variance with his own
Ideas. Hence we must seek for furlher mo-
llve.
Certainly your acllon is not for Ihe pur
pose of disciplining your members , because
If It were you would have taken n much
plainer case. You , for Instance , could have
none hack to the election of ISM and pre
ferred charges against such members as did
not support Judge Irvine for lii-luo of the
Bimreme court of tfiils state. There 'was no
question as to Mr. Irvine's nomination. He
nun the nominee of n democratic stale con-
vinllou In which many of your members
participated , and was the only democratic
nominee before the people at that time. It
may bi- thai your commlllee which has pre
ferred charpes against me was not In po
sition to use the Irvine election , because It
might have seemed lin-nnt-lstenl for the
committee , but tills certainly would have
been n better test , because in this case you
would have had to suhstnnllulo iviarges
against members for having failed to sup
port a democratic candidate , regularly
named , and nbout which Ihere was no ques
tion ns to the regularity of Ids candidacy ,
and no partnerships In his nomination. In
stead of dolnir this you mnke a tesl upon u
cnndldale for president , the nominee of a
syndicate of conventions , with a superllulty
of caudal appendages , standing upon plat
forms as umlcmocrallc as 11 was possible
lo make Ihem , and apparently as much at
homo upon one platform as Ihe oilier , and
have chosen men to make the Investigation
who In the recent election voted for an
electoral ticket half of which .was admit
tedly populist , and for a state ticket com
posed of populists , with ono exception , and
yet men casting their ballots for F-ueh a
llckel propose lo alt In Judgment nnd expel
Horn n democratic organization n man who
bupportcd candidates for president and vice
president about whose democracy there Is
no question , standing upon a platform In
line with democratic platforms since the
organization of the party ; a man who voted
a democratic state ticket composed of dem
ocrats entirely , nnd about whose democracy
Ihero Is no question. And yet you say to
htm What we will expel you from n demo
cratic organization because of your unfallh-
fulness to parly doclrlne. You propose to
say thai men who voted rtKalnst Judge Ir
vine are competent to determine the de
mocracy of those who did not vote for Mr.
Hryan a man who In ISM , when asked to
say by lelter or otherwise thai he would
support the regular democratic llcket , de
clined doing so. This then Is to be your
model for democrats to follow.
I think wc > must look still furlher for a
motive for your action. It cannot be a de
sire to build up the club , because all admit
that the club will bo weakened by tills ac
tion nnd that the party cannot be made a
success without uniting the different ele
ments.
Your motive cannot be to expel every one
who failed to vote for Mr. Hryan , because It
Is well known to the members who preferred
llieso charges that you have not Included
one-half of the men who failed to do so
who are members of the club.
Your nctlon may be explained upon the
theory that It Is your deslie to esnoclallv
honor some forty men. regular jnemhers of
the club , and some llvo or nix honorary
members by expelling them from your or
ganization , and with this view of the case
I nm In nowise dlsio ed to take Issue/ with
you. A membership In a club which In a
spirit of childish frenzy tears down from its
walls the plclures of Ihe president of the
United States and his cabinet , and strikes
from Its rolls without n hearing t.he names
of such illsllnFiilshed American citizens IIP
Hon. John 1 * . Irish for giving utterance to
the same sentiments which caused the enrollment -
rollment of his name , Is certainly one of
doubtful honor.
If your desire Is not to build up the club ,
Is not lo punUh men who really refused lo
support the democratic ticket. Is not to
build up nnd perpotualp democralle doc
trines , wlmt Is Ihe objeel ? Is U not found
In the fact lhal Ihe men who are now con
trolling your organization are following In
the footsteps of Ihelr "palron saint" nnd
are desirous lhal Ihe populist partv may
su-planl entirely the once grand old demo
cratic party ?
It must bo well known to your member
ship that there Is u very serious question
as to whether or not Mr. Ilryan Is a demo
crat or a pomillst. Upon this question there
Is a wide divergence of opinion all over the
nation.
The Jncksonlan club lias never endorsed
him. Ills only endorsement was by u ma
jority of people assembled at a convention
In Chicago July last , consisting of some
democrats , some free sllve.rltcs and more
populists. Hut the nctlon taken by thin
body of men has never been approved hv
the democratic party of the nation , and
by the men whose Inlliirnre has nlwayfi
been the creates ! In maintaining the prin
ciples of democracy.
SRRVINC5 PRIVATE RNDS.
Has It ever occurred lo you lhal the
Tacksonlnn club has tlopnrtrtl from the pur
poses for which It was organized nnd thai
It Is no longer an earm-st body of Irue
lemocrats , plnklnur Ihelr personal prefer
ences and hiding Ihelr dislikes In an honest
"ndeavor lo advance the Interesls of Irue
lemocrncy. but , upon the reverse , has de-
reneraicd Into an organization whoi'e prin
cipal aim seems to be to advance the pe
cuniary affairs of n few of Its im mbershlp
who seem lo have abandoned all Idea of
regularity nnd who appear to he running
Hie club entirely ns n personal matter ? To
HI great an extent Is this true thai It Is
lucsllonnhlr today whether the Jacksonlan
luh Is a democratic organization or
ivbother the name plKtilflcs the rallying
iiolnt of popocratle. popullstle schemes of nil
< lnds and conditions , Including legislative
contents.
I was selected ns n member of the execu
tive committee , and yet I have not been
lollllcd of n meeting Ihls year , and the
: renniirT of Ihe club advises mo that not
v cent has bei-n paid Into his hands for
Ight or ten months.
Is It not true Hint the Jncksonlan club
ins practically drifted Iniu me hands of n
ow ill-signing and unworthy men of doubt ,
nl political genealogy , moro bent upon en-
-Idling themselves than advancing the
iiuso of democracy ? Men who are. " lining
he club for the purpose of venting their
ipleen upon partv leaders ?
I speak thus plainly of llieso mailers , with
jlncero regret , because I know that the
rncksonlnn chili hns In ltn membership
nany good and true men , hut when rep-
osentallvo of your club now ncllve In this
vork of demolition comes to me In August
mil asks me not to resign , thai It In the
wrpoHe of the club lo cuntlnuo UK well
mown policy of Ignoring trie money < | iiea-

MERELY A MATfRR'OP1 FORM.
Mr. Webster was a kcd what steps had
been taken tc have- the cio ? brought up for
u heailm ; on the reargumcnt before the term
of the present attorney general I'liould have
expired.
"On November 18 , last , " rep'.Ied Mr. Web
ster , "I prepared a motion to hnvo the max
imum freight rate cayo set down for rcar-
gumopt lu the supreme court at as early a
date as might b convenient to the court
' ' ' served nctlca
and on N'ovcm'jer 1'J formally
upon the fullcltor for the railway ccinpnnUM
that 1 would have said mellon L'Jbniltto.l to
the supreme court at Washington on ilon-
day , November 80. I then caused the mo
tion nnd notice to be printed end traus-
mlttEto the clerk of the supreme court
for filing In Hi ; regular way. The submltolon
of such mctlcus to the court is very much
n mcro matter of form , ar.d naturally would
have been particularly so In the prownt
cases , by re.uon of the fact that the cases
had been Advanced at a pievloiu' term of tht
court , Imil been ouco nrtuol ; , und hrfd been
icwcred to the docket by order of the
court for a rcirgument. It feemcd lo me to
bo a vtry simple thlrg to have on early date
fixed for the reargumenl cf the cases. I
o.'uced un arrangement to be made with a
lawyer friend In Washington City to cubmlt
l'iu motion to the court , which wao accord
ingly done en Monday. November 30. "
"Were you consulted regarding the reso
lution or the proposed stipulation before the
itjoluilon was passed by the Board or
transportation ? "
"The Ural I beard of the resolution waa on
S'ovembcr 23. On that date I received a
: cttcr from Mr. Churchill , enclosing a copy
) f the resolution. . } of the board and n stipu
lation which had been entered Into between
ilmsi'lf and Mr. Woolworth , as solicitor for
; hc railway companies. The resolution ap-
cara on the face of It to have been p.w.ied
m November IS , and the stipulation purports
0 have been Glgnrd November 21. At the
late of the stipulation , my notice to advance
.ho cases hail been scrvoJ , and nt the dno !
jt the receipt of the Utter of the nttonivy
; enrral the motion and notice wort ) on fllo
n the olllco of the clerk of the supreme court
it Washington.
STIPULATED OUT OF COURT.
"I do not know why the board passed the
csolutlou , nor why the attorney general
mtcred Into the stipulation referred to , na
: have had no confcrcnco with any of the
isrtlfs touching Ihe transaction , but I do
{ now the effect produced by the resolution
1 ml the ( stipulation. By the terms of the
stipulation , the motion to advance the cases
'or reargument Is to lie submitted to the
: ourt on the third Monday In January , 1897 ,
md ft the court Is not then In session , then
in the ( Itat Monday thereafter when the
: curt hall be in session. The third Mon-
lay In January would be ; UiP 18th day of the
noiith. Under that stipulation , coupled
vlth the resolution of , , the board , It will
10 aeon at once that 'mymotion to have
ho causes set for an Immediate rcargument
vns practically stipulated out of court.
The court could not ver'y , ) vcll austaln my
notion to fix an early date , for the rcargu-
iient of the casca , wheil l't ' appeared by the
tlpulatlon and the r > nolutlon that the
OECS should not be heard- until after the
lolnlnys , and that the rrjotjon oven should
mt bo presented to the dnurt until the 18th
lay of January. By th * terina of the stlpu-
atlon , the motion to"uflvance la not to
10 submitted until the ISth duy of January.
Jnder the practice ofthat court no mi-
louncemcnt will , made of 'the ' ruling of the
notion until the MoudAr following , which
vlll be January 25. Of | , ouiae the date
Ixcd for the rcarguratnt would bo nt a
nter date , so as to , f\\\\i- \ \ \ ' tlmo for the
lartlcs to attend ntid , be .prepared . for the
raiment. It Us also wiill known to lawyere
laving any business bcforo that court , that
he court adjourns over the month of
cbruary , and raiunies Its Hitting about
ho 1st of March. It.Js self-ovldent , there-
ore , that the date for the reargumcnt of
ho caeca could not bo act dawn for an
arllor date than some time In March , and
n opinion could not be handed down In
he regular conr.su of business until about
ho 1st of April , or later. It docs not take
utich of a phllosphcr to discover that In
ho meantime the Nebraska legislature will
lave transacted Ita buslnctri and adjourned.

COIIN'ING. Kan. , Dec. 12. After a des
perate battle , in which a mother's stolen
babe lu the iirma of n sifcblower kept nt bay
and helpless an angry mob of citizens , two
men were arrested and enfely put behind
Iron bars In the Seneca Jail. They are held
for safeblowlng at this place Wednesday
night.
One Is nn old man r.nlil to reaemblc tleorgo
Taylor , Ihe Micks family escaped murderer ,
nnd the oilier Is barely more Ihan a youth.
They steadfastly lefuso to disclose . their
Identity.
Wednesday night the safe In the ofllco ot
the Jackson Grain company at this place
wns rilled nnd the school house broken Into ,
where two ctirtnlnu were torn down and
carried away. The first plow to the per
petrators wns brought hero yesterday by
country school children , who reported having
seen Iwo tramps along Ihe railroad west ot
town. Deputy Sheriff Charles Andrews ami
City Mnrshnl Benslng nt ouco took n buggy
and went In pursuit , overtaking the pair
nbout live miles out. The men were nc-
cosled , but mndo no reply. Andrews again
asked them to wait n moment , when both
whipped out revolvers , covered their pur
suers and hastily retreated to ( ho timber.
The olllccro hurried to n nearby school
house , and with Ihc aid ot the children soon
got the Inhabitants up In anna. Meanwhile
two zealous corn buskers espied thu robbers
In their cornlleld , and with shotgun ami
rlflo commanded them to surrender. The
pair meekly submitted until the farmer lads ,
confident of their game , approached , when
a fuslladc of shots from the revolvers of
Iho besieged made Ihem Iho victors. The
owner of the farm drove up with tils wagon
lo carry olT the outlaws , only to bo himself
made captive with the two hunkers. At the
command ot the robbcra , enforced by drawn
revolvers , nil mounted the wngon nnd were
driven to the farmer'fl house. Here they
were confronted by the ollicers. But the
Inw had no lerrors for Iwo ik.iperato men
fortified behind three husky farmers' bodies.
After considerable parleying and shifting
for advantage thu younger robber bccamo
separated from Ills companion and iptlckly
btcamo the victim of Sherllf Andrews. The
elder robber compelled his living fort to
retreat to the house and tutor. There ho
marched the trio upstairs nnd mndo them
lie face down on the lloor , threatening death
to the first who should try to see what wco
going on. As they were nmrchlrg up the
stairs at the point of revolvers the robber
stooped over the cradle in the room below
and .snatched a flvo-moutlis'-old lulio , telling
the terrorized mother lo hasten him some
supper , nnd as he loved her child lo tell
no one that he was In the liouac.
With ono man aafuly In their power the
nfllccro brought him to Corning nnd took
hack a large posse. By 7 o'clock the fnrm
house wns surrounded by HOD or100 men
armed with rides , shotguns nnil re
volvers. The outlaw , In tlm face ot nil thin
Irmonstratlon. ordered a light to be put on
Iho stairs so that he might see the crowd
uid eat his supper. With three citizens nnil
the baby In bis clulchrn his orders were
obeyed. One of the prose requested him to
surrender. He replied thnt ho would If ho
lie allowed to keep his guns. After some
consultation his proposition was ngreed to ,
ind the old robber lies pnfo In the Seneca
lall with his young confederate. Several
lets of burglars' tools , camping outfits ami
jlght gold walchcs were Home of Ihe plunder
ecovcrcd.
