THE POLITICAL WORLD Fusion In Indiana Between the Dem- ocrats and Populists. GEN. PALMER MUCH PLEASED The New York State Ticket Nominated In Brooklyn Receives His Praise—Mc- Kinley’s Early Visitors—Bryan Con- tinues His New England Tour. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 26.—The following is given out by the Populists: “The exec- utive committee of 18, aftera consultation with M. C. Rankin of the national com- mittee, who met Mr. Watson, our candt date, at St. Louis on the 24th, reports to our committee that it is the desire of Mr. Watson that Indiana get into line at once and divide electors on fair terms. We have also had instructions from our na- ‘and flve’Populist electOrs and certifyrthe same as our electoral ticket. The several committees will meet on next Tuesday to arrange full details. ” ' ' Considerable of , a sensation has been createdhere by the publication of a signed , statement from Captain S. M. Shepard, a well known lawyer and chairman of the Populist county committee, in which'he accuses United States -. CommissIOner 1W. A. Van Buren of attempting to bribe-him. ‘ In substance, Captain Shepard’s charges are to the effect that he was cfiered by Mr. Van Buren sufficient money to run the Populist campaign and a liberal compen- sation for himself if he would use his in- fluence to keep the Populists from fusing with the Democrats. Mr. Van Buren de- nies the charges. ’ Mr. Bryan's Tour. SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 26.—-Greatly refreshed by a ten hours’ sleep, William Jennings Bryan left Hartford at 11:18 a. m. There was a small crowd atthe depot to catch a parting glimpse of the nominee, and to these he made a few remarks. He told them that the money changer wa‘sin- terested in having a dear dollar and that a dear dollar meant hard times to the pro- ducers of wealth. 0n the train was a committee from Springfield, headed by Colonel John L. Rice. The first stop was at Windsor, where a small crowd had gathered, carrying the banner “McKinley. and Prosperity. .” There were a few cheers for him by part of the crowd and more cheers for his opponent. At Windsor Locks, the next stop, the as- semblage was more enthusiastic for Mr. Bryan. There everybody wanted to shake hands with him. Thompsonville also gave him a cordial reception. _ 'Mr. Bryan arrived at Springfield at 12:05 and was met at the station by Mayor Winter, mem hers of the board of alderman and George Fred Williams. A great crowd followed him to the court square, where he spoke to a very lar e audience. He praised The Springfiel Republican for what he termed the high plane upon which tolerance which it"showod to political cp- pcnents. “Without censoring those who substitute abuse for argument,” he said, “,I can commend those who use argument instead of abuse. [Great applause] I can commend also to every citizen the words of that distinguished editor who was the founder of this paper. I am told that he is the author of the expression that a man who is not willing to die fora cause in. which he believes is not worthy to live. “My friends, it is willingness of people to stake thei; all upon the correctness of their convictions that has enabled truth to spread from person to person until at last it overcomes the opposition. And in this campaign we have as good an illustration as was ever given - before of the depth of conviction and the intensity of earnestness in the presentation of the cause. I chal- lenge you to find among all the hosts who have defended a cause more earnest men than I found today among the advocates of the right of this government to legis- late for itself without regard to other na- tions. [Great applause] “My friends, our opponents sometimes tell us that this movement in favor of free coinage is started by the mine owners and kept up by the mine owners. I want them to understand that they cannot ex.- plain this great uprising of the people on the theory that it is instigated by men who own bullion and want to sell it at a higher price. This great uprising comes from the masses of the people, who do not produce bullion, but they produce proper- ty, and they realize that the gold standard has been driving value out of the property which they produce. [Applause] The op- position press may well afiord to pause in their ridicule of the advocates of free coin~ age, in their denunciation of them as law- less characters, to find out whether there is a well founded reason for this advocacy of bimetallism among the farmers of the United States, of Ireland, of‘England, of Germany, of France and of every nation which has been cursed by the gold stand- ard. “My friends, I assert here, and I chal- lenge any goldbug paper to dispute it, that a financial policy which is injurious to the agricultural classes has nothing to commend it to the government in any na- tion on earth. [Great applause and cheers] The gold standard has never commended itself to the agricultural classes of any country which has ever had it. What will you say, then? Will you say that these farmers have no right to have their interests respected? When they ask for bread, will you give them a stone? When they 2‘; for. fish, will you bestow serpents upon them? That has been the policy of the financiers of this country, and assuming their selfishness they have been attempting to force their ideas upon others, while others have fallen down he- neath the weight of those ideas, and the financiers themselves have risen to pros- perityon the prostrate forms of the fallen. [Great applause and cheering] No person _ n accuse me of attempting to deny to the nanciers or even to the money changers the right of their opinion, the right to their votes, the right to every legitimate influence. WhatI deny to them is this—- the right to think for anybody but them- selves, the right to act for anybody but themselves, the right to put themselves above other people and go through the world crying: ‘I am holler than thou.. I am holler than thou.’ ” . The Griffin and Hinrichs Ticket. NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Members of the National Democratic party declare them- selves well pleased with the state ticket nominated in Brooklyn. . Daniel G. Griffin, the candidate for gov. ‘ernor, remained a follower of Senator Hill, although he was a steadfast friend of President Cleveland. Spencer Clinton. the candidate for justice of the,court of appeal-swims always been identified with ’ s tional committee to the same effect, and we have decided to put out ten Democratic - it discusses political questions and for the. the Hill faction too. Like Mr. Griffin, he was conspicuously mentioned two years ago-as a candidate for governor when Hill was a candidate against his will. Frederick W. Hinrichs. the candidate for lieutenant governor, has usually been identified with the free and, independent Democrats of Kings county"? He left his party and followad Low in 1881» and 1882. He left his party and followed Schieren in the mayoralty campaign in 1893. . It is a ticket of lawyers. Mr. Griflin is one of the leaders of the bar in northern New York. Mr. Hinrichs was an office- holder under Mayor Schieren and is now practicing law in New York city. . Mr. Clinton is one of the four most prosperous lawyers in western New York and brings to the ticket the prestige of an honored name. He is the grandson of Governor De Witt Clinton, the father of the Erie canal. Before leaving the city for Baltimore General Palmer said of the ticket: “It is in every way an admirable ticket and calls for the hearty indorsement of all good Democrats. Of course in the present con- dition of affairs in your state it is hard to say just what vote the ticket will poll. ] can only say that it ought to poll a tre- mendous vote. As for the national ticket, the-situatIOn is quite diflerent. I have several times said we are fighting a hope- less battle, and as thedays go by we re- alize that over so , many. sound money Democrats will vote-for McKinley. How- ever, our principles Will stand’é'ven’ though we fall.“ > , McKinley Speaks?.BeforeIBreakfast. JCANTON, 0., Sept.

Major.McKinley, inlhis address to the. visitors, said: “I welcome the Repub- licans and thecitizens of the‘Hoosier State —the state of that grand old war governor, _ Oliver P. Morton, and that splendid presi- dent and patriot, Benjamin Harrison. You are here this morning not to honor me personally, but to honor the cause which you love and which you mean to support. You believe in that cause be- cause you have tried it, and. having tried it you know you have been. more prosper- ous-in your occupations under the policy which it represents than . you have ever been under any other policy,.and if any- thing was needed to confirm you in your devotion to that policy it could be found in your experience of the last four years.” Shortly before 11 o’clock a special train of 12 coaches on the C.,. C. andS. brought a delegation to visit Major McKinley and extend the greetings of Crawford county, ’Pa. It included a club ‘of students from Allegheny college, which McKinley at- tended in 1860. Rev. Dr. Flood of Mead- ville, prominent in Chautauqua circles, made the introductory address. ' r Dr. Parkhnrst Talks Politics. NEW YORK, Sept. .26.>—-—D’r. Parkhurst, who has just returned from a trip to Swit- zerland, declares that he is in favor of a gold standard. When asked concerning his ,views of the Chicago platform, the doctor said: “There is no Chicago platform. It is not a platform. It is a rubbish heap.” Even with McKinley Dr. Parkhurst is not wholly satisfied. “Mo’Kinley, I con- sider.” the doctor went on, “hands a fatal blunder, a blunder that amounts almost to a crime, in attempting to force the high tarifi issue to the front. He should, in the face of the momentous importance of the currency question, have laid aside his par- ticular views on that topic, and then there ,would have been no Indianapolis conven- tion. After Nov. 3 I propose to resume the fight against Tammany, with a view to the results in 1897. It is important, par- ticularly if New York and Brooklyn are to be united. that none of the old political hacks should get things by the neck.” Utah’s Free. Silver McKinleyites. SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 26.—The state convention of the McKinley Republicans was held at Mount Pleasant. The major- ity report of the committee on resolutions indorsed the platform of the national _Re- publican convention with the exception oi the financial plank. “We,” the resolution reads, “believe in bimetallism, and thereby we mean the ‘se of both gold and silver as standard money and the free and un- limited coinage of both metals at the ratio of 16 to 1.” The minority report indorsed the St. Louis platform in its entirety and made no mention of silver. A hot debate ensued, resulting in the adoption of the majority report. Judge 0. W. Bonnet, Joseph A. Smith and J. D. Page were nominated for presidential electors, pledged to the support of McKinley and Hobart. 0n the 1.4291711 Ballot. CHILLIOOTHE, Mo., Sept. 26.-—Robert N.

Fewpmen knew Jay Gould better than Sylvester T. Smith, who was with the Gould system for many years, but after resigning the general manager- ship of the Denver & Rio Grande, hav- ing made money out of 'the mines of Creede, quit railroading entirely. I't s‘hould be understood that every word uttered by Mr. Smith on this subject can be accepted without a shade of- doubt. , 1" “It’s no use.” he said, when I began to ask him about his deceased friend. “The public is so prejudiced against Jay Gould that what you say will not even be taken seriously." I “insisted that anew story about. anyone was i-nterestzng, especially if it were true, and being true, it ought to be told. “_ . ,. , , I “If you want my. opinion,” 'he said, “it is that Jay Gould was One-oi the few truly great men the world has produced, and I know of human alive or dead who did-so much good and gel so little credit for doing good. To a certain extent that was his own fault, for he would never give anything un- til he had found some way to cover the act up. He did not do charity with a brass band. ’ “Mr. Gould had two great objects in his life; one, which the public knew. was :to make money; the other, which the public did not know, was to spend it where it would do the most good In the latter part of the 70’s there was a great crop failure in Kansas. The farmers Ihad no seed Iwhea-t nor money with which they might buy seed wheat, The receivers for the Kansas Pacific Railroad had been furnishing seed to such farmers as had applied for aid and taking the notes of the finfortu- nate people, payable after a crop could be raised. _ “At a meeting of the receivers and directors, Mr. Gould being among the directors, the question of explaining their action to the United States Court came up and the receivers agreed that they must go out of the grain and char- ity business or put 'themselves in a tight box. I was at that 'time’mana- ger for the receiverspand when this conclusion 'had been reached Mr. Gould turned «to me, iand in the presence of all the other gentlemen said: ‘Theso people must «have seed w‘hea‘t. You will please furnish it to all who apply and draw on me personally—never mind the notes. We’ll get it all back in freight next year.” “There were no end of applications,” said Mr. Smith, “and I thought I would make Mr. Gould squeal for once, but when I showed him the slip with about a mile of figures on it, he just glanced down at the ‘total' and said: ‘Well, I’m glad we were able to help those poor fellows, for they really needed it.’ “You remember,” the speaker went on, “the great exodus of colored people from the South some fifteen years ago? They flooded Kansas City like a pest of grasshoppers, and nobody knew what to do with them. They soon became hungry, then disorderly, and in a little while they became desperate. Mr. Gould viewed the situation from New York, but even at that distance be foresaw a calamity if these people were not taken care of, so be wired me: ‘Send those Degrees wherever they choose -to go!’ and closed the message as :he had closed many before: ‘And draw on me.’ “I have spent fortunes of Mr. Gould’s money, and the only comment usually was, ‘Is that 'all?’ Once I said, for I knew he was being imposed upon, ‘These people are not deserving, Mr. Gould.’ “ 'Well,’ ’he replied, ‘you’d better Ihelp them. They may be.’ “Then there were hundreds and hundreds of little .things he did almost every day—little for ‘him, but really big—which the public knew nething about; for only such cases us the ship- ping of the negroes or the giving of 85,000 a day to Memphis as long as they needed it ever reached the public car.” akin to them. W ITE—l THE SEMINOLES SUPERINTENDENT BRECHT PRAISES THE FLORIDA INDIANS. Their Strict Bar of Kinship in Marriages. liIurder and Wife Beating amused-ro- gether as Infamous Crimes. Thole Truth Religion and Prosperity. ‘ Dr. J. E. Brecht, superintendent of the Florida Indians, says of his charges: (“The Indians are not multiplying rap- idly. V‘Thi‘s is due to physiological and social reasons. Still, there has been an increase. In 1859 there were but 112. Now there are something over 500. The chief ,socialreason for their slow propa- gation is the custom of countenancing‘ no marriage of persons who have a drop of the. same blood in their veins. This is sometimes hard. on the girls. One leader ‘I know hastwo beautiful daugh~ tors, who cannot get married hecauss the eligible young - men are almost all Very often the custom, causes strange alliances, and I know. of a number of instances where young bucks of twenty have squaws of sixty. The reason fora lack of increase is the death of' knowledge on the part of men and women of physiology, sanita- tion and hygiene. The mothers, although intensely fond of their offspring, will allow them to stufi themselves with food and trash in the shape of sand, charcoal and clay. Many deaths occur during the first three years. If a child livesto be 5, you can’t kill him with a lightwood knot. -“If the parents knew more of diet the race would rapidly increase, for a stronger, sounder people are not to be found on the earth. “They seldom commit crime, and their only punishment for it is ostracism. They are compelled upon pain of death to leave the village and must stay away for a period of years. They usually hang around other villages, and if they once succeed in getting into the “green corn dance” their Social position becomes reestablished. Murder and wife heating are the worst of the crimes. Wife beating is not tolerated. ‘ “The wife is proud of the husband, and the husband considerate of the wife. He boss in the field and hunts and fishes, while she attends to the household du- ties and tans the hides and cures the bird skins and plumes. The braves are splendid hunters. They know the hab- its of every fowl and animal, and can mimic their notes, with absolute accu- racy. They are not long shots, prefer- ring to make sure of their game by creeping upon it. They can advance to withing few feet of deer. The deer, while feeding, raises its head, now and then, and looks for an enemy. If it sees nothing moving it will not be alarmed. This the Indian knows, and stops still just before the animal raises its head. How can he tell when the door will look! Thdt’s the odd part., The Indian knows ‘ that the lifting of the head will be pre- ceded immediately by a wiggling of the tail, hence he watches the tail. “The Indians are becoming more pros- perous every year. Some of them have a few thousand dollars saved up, and. a few have houses of two stories. These houses are picturesque. Their roofs are of palmetto thatch. The house is of boards, usually supplied by the Govern- ment sawmill, of which I am in charge. This mill is run in connection wiih an industrial school. The school is not largely attended, because of the preju- , dice among them against the Washing- ton Government, but we are gradually winning our way to their confidence. “They have a religion. They say that the white man’s God is the same as their God. The Father they call ‘Fan- shockohomachey,’ and the Son ‘Chocka- tomassee.’ They believes that there is a future state; but call death ‘the big sleep.” They think that Christ’s com- ing took. place in Georgia and that a great assemblage came to a mountain to hear him. The mountain split in twain and one people slided northWard and the other southward. They do not pray, but, as they express it, 'think with God.’ ‘ > “The Indians are a truthful people. They claim that before the white men came they did not know how to lie, but since they taught him how, he once in a great while resorts to deception, though liars among them are held in utter contempt.” Dr. Brecht believes they are the soundest, cleanest people, morally, men- tally, physically, on the face of the earth today—Florida Times Union.
