Destroyed the Organ.
On Wednesday the 16th, it was
discovered that some one had enter
ed the church at Mt. Vernon and
destroyed the organ. The door had
been pried open and the organ ruin-
ed with such precautionary steps as
to preclude the idea of its being a
bad boy. The party guilty of the
deed is a dangerous citizen in any
community; he is fit for midnight as-
sassins, incendiaryisin end the
darkest deeds, in the catalogue of
crime. He would murderifhecould
cover his tracks, he would kill stock,
break fences, fire barns, or anything
else that the darkness of night
might protect him in. The loss of
the organ is a trifle, but the loss of
good name in the neighborhood cant
be estimated. Good people would
shun the community like they would
a pest house. Dread of the culprit
who broke up the oruan is as great
as the dread ot an escaped convict.
No one can feel safe, no one goes to
bed secure in the thought that he
will find his property all right in the
morning. No excuse can be given
for the deed. It was the house of
God that was entered and an instru-
ment dedicated to His worship that
was destroyed. Could it haye been
to gratify any personal dislike
against any one connected with the
church? If so, we can see how the
same desire to gratify personal an-
tipathy could prompt the burning
of a house, the poisoning of a horse
or the taking of life. $50 will be
paid for information leading to the
detection of the guilty party, not
that the organ was worth that much,
but that the community may know
where the sneaking, prowling, low-
flung man lives, and clear the good
name of the community from a stain
that must rest on it until it is plac-
ed upon the guilty party.
en-
dorse the Chicago platform and
tickt, as it was called for the pur-
pose of taking independent action
only in case neither of the old par-
ties adopted a silver platform. When
the democratic convention adopted
a silver platform and nominated a
silver ticket it left little for the sil-
ver convention to do but to endorse
that ticket and platform.
While it is reasonably certain that
the populist convention will either
endorse Bryan and the Chicago
platform or nominate the same men
on another platform, there is just
enough doubt about it to add inter-
est to the convention and to attract
some of the shrewdest politicians in
the coun try to St. Louis, for the
purpose of trying to influence the
action of the convention. The silver
democrats will be there to urge the
desirability of uniting all who favor
the free coinage of silver in the sup-
port of one ticket, and the gold men
of both parties will be there to try
to persuade the populists that the
only the way they can keep up their
party organization is to nominate a
ticket of their own. Of course both
of these arguments are based upon
the self interests of those who make
them, but then politics, like most
of the games in which mankind en-
gages, is chuck full of selfishness.
This is likely to be a queer cam-
paign in more ways than one. Ac-
cording to Senator Faulker, chair-
man of the democratic congressional
campaign committee, the worn of
that committee is to be both for
silver and gold, just as the demo-
cratic candidates for congress may
desire it to be. Speaking on the
subject Senator Faulker said: “We
will take it for granted that the
democrats of each district know
what they are about, and we will
not question their selection. It will
make no difference to us what the
platform may be upon which the
candidates are selected.” In order
that there might be no misunder-
standing of his meaning Senator
Faulker was asked if the committee
wouid furnish gold standard litera-
ture, if it was asked for by demo-
with him as to the means by which
these ends are to be secured. To
nominate an independent ticket, one
in opposition as much to Bryan and
Sewfll as it would be to McKinley
and Hobart, would not only make it
imDOssible to restore free coinage
of silver during the lifetime of the
youngest in the coming convention,
but it would Dractically annihilate
the people’s party so far as followers
are necessary to make a party. The
‘leaders’ might hold frantically to
the organization during the cam-
paign, but at its close they would
find its followers in full fellowship
with the democratic party and, hav-
ing voted its ticket under the name
and emblems of that party, if Bryan
should be elected, they would find
little obstacle in continuing witli it.
“Instead of nominating others,
the people’s party convention should
nominate, not indorse, Bryan and
Sewall. The convention should
make these two men its own nomi-
nees—the party nominees. It
should adopt its own platform and
nrmciples and place them upon it as
their choice for president and vice
president. Having done this, dele-
gates can return to their home and
looking their constituents in the
face, say:
“ ‘We have made this sacrifice of
party pride to make certain of the
enactment into laws of one or more
of the great measures for which our
party has struggled. In doing this
we have proven that our party
stands ready to do whatever is nec-
essary to secure practical relief to a
suffering country, even to the ex-
tent of supporting candidates nomi-
nated by other parties. No greater
test of party devotion to principle
can be devised and, measured by
that test, the people's party is pre-
eminently worthy of the people’s
confidence and support.’
“The proposition of Mi-. Taubo-
neck that whenever one party in-
dorses the national ticket of another
it has ‘no further use to exist’ is
wholly without precedent to sustain
it. The chairman’s logic is simply
this:
“ ‘The restoration of free coinage cratie candidate for congress. He

necessarv to bring back the coun- ature, and we haye it, ho will get
The Bryan Wintr.
St. Louis, Mo., July 19.—Hon.
Thomas M. Patterson, chairman of
the regular Colorado delegation to
the pouuli’st convention, arriyed to-
day and with others immediately
began the crusade in behalf of the
nomination of Messrs. Bryan and
sewall by the populist convention.
During the evening Mr. Patterson
and his coadjutors prepared and is-
sued and address in reply to Chair-
man Taubeneck’s appeal to maintain
the autonomy of the party by tak-
ing a position against the nomina-
tion or indorsement of the demo-
cratic candidates. The addiees of
the Bryan followers, as prepared by
Mr. Patterson, is as follows:
“We agree with Taubeneck that
the all absorbing question with the
populists is and should be: How
can they assist in the speedy restor-
ation of silver to its former place
and at the same time maintain and
advance their party organization.
We believe that the people’s party
is necessary to the country and
try’s departed prosperity. The
democratic and people’s parties are
both agreed upon this and some
other vital questions, but otherwise
they differ. The democratic party
adopts a platform and selects presi-
dential candidates pledged and
known to be sincere in advocacy of
these vital measures. The republi-
can party is pledged to measures
the extreme reverse of these upon
which democrats and populists
agree, and unless democrats and
populists unite, the republican party
will win and the policy of ruin in-
definitely continue. Now, because
the people’s party, in its organized
capacity to make certain of obtain-
ing these measures, knowing that if
they are lost now they will be lost
for generations and seeking no other
chance through which their success
is equally assured, adopted the
democratic candidates, it has no
further use to exist.’
“It is strange logic, indeed, that
the people's party may die because
it does right; that it must die be-
cause it is great and magnauiinous
and patriotic enough to go outside
of its own ranks for a presidential
candidate, for one who, though not
a populist in name, is in deepest
sympathv with it for its most cheer -
ished and vital measures to remoye
a blighting curse from the country."
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C. July 17.
The administration has spoken. It
will not support Bryan and Sewall.
Who or what it will support is still
a problem to be solyed. President
Cleveland and several members of
his cabinet are strongly in favor of
putting up a gold democratic ticket,
and, for once, the silyer democrats
are all wishing that Cleveland may
have his way. They believe that a
gold democratic ticket would add
largely to their chance of winning
in several close states, because it
would be supported by gold demo-
crats who would otherwise vote for
McKinley and Hobart. Republicans
say they are indifferent as to what
the gold democrats may do, but it
There is always fun to be extract-
ed out ot a political campaign by
those who know how to get at it.
The knowing ones are now laugh -
ing at the announcement thht Post-
master General Willson’s sound
money views make it impossible for
him to accept a nomination to con-
gress from his old district. That is
one way of putting it, but. accord-
ing to West Virginia democrats, it
wasn’t the sound money views of
Wilson which made his nomination
impossible, but the pronounced sil-
ver views of a majority of the demo-
crats of his old district.
The poplists generally regard the
platform adopted by the democratic
convention and the nomination of
Bryan as a great triumph for their
principles, and in order to impress
that idea upon members of his par-
ty Secretary Turner, of the populist
national committee, has issued a
signed statement, urging the popu-
lists to unite in supporting the dem-
ocratic ticket, and the platform,
which ho says is to all intents and pur
poses a populist platform. He also
says thatBryan is a populist,and call*
attention to his having acted with
the Nebraska populists for the last
two years. After noting that pop-
ulist principles have captured the
democratic party, he adds: “All
populists in these United States
should rejoice that their principles
have taken such a hold upon the
American people that one of the
great political parties of the nation
has been compelled to adopt those
principles and nominate a ticket
pledged to carry them into execu-
tion.”
