oth;r4 and have no affiliation or sympathy with any and have had no conference at any time or at any place with any members thereof. I am not tre candidate of any secret organization, church or faction, and have made no 'bid for their support. I re- . sent the change or Imputation, by whomsoever made, that connects me with any faction or any controversy of a sectarian or reiijlous nature. If I were elected Governor 1 should be the servant of the whole people and not of any faction, church or society. I always shall advocate those principles which I believe will promote and advance the welfare of my State and country and elve the preatest good to the greatest number.' My life Is an open book to be Investigated, and 1 challenge the fullest and freest investigation In relation to these charges. Tne charge that I was In conference at the Normandie Hotel, in petroit. with Messrs. Traynor and Beattle, or either of them, is urrjualiliedly false. Many hundreds of my clearest friends In this city srive rei:?i:)us fealty and devotion to the Catholic Cinurch. I ask every one of thera here to give answer to the charge that by the letters referred to I have ever Intended to show hostility to those of the Roman Catholic faith. If the people of this State away from my borne have been deceived by these false- charges I ask them to refer to you, and I ask you to bear me willing witness, a.? I believe, yes, I know you will. In conclusion, it is enough, I believe, for me to say to you here now that I am a Democrat by birth, by education, by conviction a Democrat. By Inclination, aspiration and desire a Democrat. In courage, in hope a Democrat. In sunshine and storm a Democrat, believing in the fundamental principles of Jeffersonlan Democracy, and standIns squarely on the platform made and adopted at Grand KapicU by the Democratic convention." At the cloiie of these remarks Mr. Fisher was greeted with tremendous applause, and he then proceeded with a d.scussion of general political issues. Mr. Fisher offers $10,OJ to anv one who can prove the charge regarding the alleged conference in Detroit? BAY STATU DEMOCRATS.

John C. Russell Nominated for Govtrnor The Plutfurm. BOSTON, Oct. 8. The Massachusetts Democratic convention to-day nominated the following ticket: For Governor-JOHN L RUSSELL. Lieutenant Oovernor CHARLES E. KTCtATTON Secretary of State CHARLES A. DE COL'UCBY. Attorney-general-IIEXRY F. IIURLiu:r. Treasurer and Receiver-general JAM E3 S. GR INN ELI. Auditor ALFRED C. WHITNEY. Ex-Gov. William E. Russell was chairman of the convention. Hon. John E. Russell made a lengthy speech of acceptance. The platform declares In favor of placing raw materials on the free list; hold3 that it Is the sole function of the federal government in monetary matters to provide a standard of value and to coin metallic money, and every dollar of which shall be of equal Intrinsic value; that nothing but this coined money shall be a legal tender, and that the government shall not carry on a banking business. "We demand," the platform says, that the untaxed notes of State or national banks shall be the only paper money, and that the government shall," with the development of a banking sv.Uem adequate to the demand of trade, retire as rapidly as possible all Its lesal tender paper mjney." Tne principle of the Income tax is approved. Regarding 4he A. 1. A. the plaitform nays: "We are not only opposed in the abstract to any distinction of birth or religious creed in tne rights of American citizenship, but aNo to any organization which alms to introduce such distinctions into politics; and we hold up to public condemnaton any party whicn, like the Republican p.irty In Uiis and other States, tacitly accepts any alliance with such an organization and permits it to control the party caucuses and conventions." IT WAS A "GRIiAT" VICTORY. Secretary Hoke Smith Discusses the Georgia Election. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Secretary Hoke Smith, who has just returned from Georgia, speaking, to-day, of the recent Georgia elections, said: "The State ticket has been elected by between 30,000 and 23,000 majority. It 13 manifestly unfair to compare thl3 election with the State election of 1892, when Governor Northen received a majority of 8,000. Then the Republican State convention declined to indorse the Topullst candidates and failed to put, out any candidates of their own. The colored teachers' conventions indorsed Governor Northen. Governor Northen, therefore, was not opposed by the Republicans but, on the contrary, was supported by the majority of them. In the presidential election of lSJi both the Republicans and the Populists bad tickets in the field and the Democratic majority was 3S.0C0 only about 5.UG0 more than the recent election. This year the Republican State convention Indorsed the Popul'srs and the Republicans voted almost solidly for their ticket. It is but fair that the comparison should be made with the Democratic majority in the presidential election. This snows a difference of only 5,fei0v vote.s and I believe this will be accounted for by the light vote polled. It is an interesting fact that the State committee did net spend $2.Gw) In the entire campaign. It is not eable, too, that no reduction of majorities took place in districts where tht tight was conducted In lino with a platform demanding' a sound currency." Ill'XYOX IS AVIIAIXCS.

If, with the material spoliation they suffered through the protective system, we can still Invade foreign markets, what may we not expect to do with freedom from such spoliation? We have learned the. vital truth that high wages and cheap production are not only compatible, but seem to go hand In hand. and we have no fears that there will be any lowering of the stadard of life among our Intelligent laborers. If, then, the reappearance cf America as a carrier on the h.Kh seas, an importer of manufactured products to the neutral markets, may seem to you at first a startling proposition, it is but the inevitable and benelicial working out of those principles which we have been seeking to put into, legislation in our country In theMast ten years.

CLOSE TO STARVATION

MIXERS HOLDING OUT IN THE PACE OF 3IICII SUFFERING. Wounded Dank Robber Rivers Known at Martinsville Body of a Murdered Man Found In a Field. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CLAY CITY, Ihd.. Oct. 8. The Harrison miners, desirous of settling the strike difficulty at this point, proposed the following scale to Mr. Talley, which was rejected by him: For coal 2 feet 10 inches to 3 feet 3 Inches, 75 cents; 3 feet 3 Inches to 3 feet 8 Jnche3, TO cents; 3 feet 8 Inches and over, 65 cents. On Saturday last Mr. Ttlley sent the following proposition to the miners here: For coal 2 feet 10 inches to 3 feet 3 inches, 75c; 3 feet 3 inches to 3 feet 8 inches, 70c; 3 feet 8 Inches to 4 feet 2 inches, C5c; over 4 feet 2 inches, COc. The miners rejected Mr. Talleys proposition, for the reason that It provided that the acceptance of it should settle the question for all time to oome; that the miners here should work for 10 cents les3 than Brazil prices on high coal. The acceptance would also bar them from making a new contract the 1st of May. The miners decided Saturday night to go to work at the scale proposed by them to Mr. Talley. Thv miners are justly Indignant at Mr. Talley's demands, since he signed the Columbus scale, and since the reduction of freights. Mr. Talley has almost succeeded In starving some of the miners Into submission. Some of them are almost In actual want, but are willing to suffer rather than submit to an unjust demand. One hundred dollars was distributed among forty-nine families last Friday. This community feels that Mr. Talley ought to meet his men half way. His proposition would probably have been accepted had it not provided that the acceptance of it would settle the question forever. DANK ROBBER RIVERS. Perhaps the Same 31an Caught at Martlnnvtlle In 1S92. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . MARTINSVILLE. Ind., Oct 8.-The capture of Charle3 Rivers, one of the Bloomfield bank robbers, is creating considerable Interest in this city.

He opened the door and the man started from the yard. Fuselman snapped his revolver, but the weapon did not go off. The burglar fired without injury, and then whirled and ran. Fuselman followed, snapping his useless revolver. The burglar, in his Might, dropped a bottle of wine which Is handled by but one dealer here. This bottle led to the arrest and conviction of a stranger, who gave h' t name as Charles Rivers, of Peru, Ind. Ti.e saloon keeper Identified him. Rivers was sent to the penitentiary for two years for attempted robbery and killing. Ills partner, who went through A. J. Watson's home the sane night, was also given two years In the penitentiary.

Hoir One Estate Was Doubled A Min ing- Story Without a Sequel A Trick with a Bank Account. Lily Dale (New York) Letter in St. Louis uiobe-Democrat. "Will you oblige me with the name and address of the best medium In the East for consultation on business matters?" This request comes on the letter-head of one of the largest commission houses in the Mississippi valley. It Is signed In the name of the firm. There are few newspapers in the country which do not 'contain the business "cards" of mediums who make a profession cf giv ing advice on business questions. There is not a city in which the little tin sign of the "business medium" is not familiar. Not a week ao a commercial traveler walked briskly up to the counter of a hotel in an Eastern city, put his handbag down, wrote hira name on the, register, and abruptly said to the clerk: "Give me the address of a reliable me dium, will you?" He had lost a considerable sum of money, and he wanted to consult the spirits before h.i reported to the police. Business mediums, rather strange to tell, do not depend upon spiritualists for clients. Their chief revenue comes from those who are either nonbelievers or at least not open and avowed believers. It 13 a curious. If not significant fact, that the most advanced spiritualists attach little weight to advice on business given by mediums and .rarely consul them for that rurpose. To this there are occasiDnal- exceptions. Now end then a thorough spiritualist Is found who never starts on a journey or takes an important business step wdthout consulting a medium. "Would you advise one to be guided In business affairs by directions coming from the spirits througTi a medium?" Mr. Patten, of Pennsylvania, was asked. "No," said he, with much posltiveness of manner, "T would not." Mr. Patten is one of the most prominent spiritualists at Lily Dale. His home is in Pennsylvania. He is a successful business man. His visit to the camp of the rplrituallsts is his summer vacation, and he spends It in earnest s?arch for additional light. How far Mr. Patten has advanced in his intimacy with the other world's inhabitants may be Judged from what he told of his everyday experiences. "I know." said he, "that the spirits are around me just us certainly as I see you here. I say to them as I would to children: " 'Here. George and John, take my hand3 and come for a walk.' I feel them grasp my hands, and we three go out and stroll through the grounds. I know they are with me, and I talk to them just as I am talking to you. I try all kinds of tests, and get "the raost positive results. For example, I feel one of the spirits touching me somewhere, I say: " 'Now touch me on the nose.' "It obeys. I say: " 'Now on rhe cheek, the forehead, the top of the head," and so on. "Immediately I feel the louc!i. The spirit presence Is a reality to me. I have a twlnse of rheumatism. I siy to a spirit: - " 'There is rheumatism in my right leg. Come and treat it ' "The manipulation begins at once, just as if I had given the ordr to some living person. At my home I have a room into which I allow no other member of my family to go. In this way I preserve the magnetism and pret more satisfactory result3. Once I wv.s lifted from my bed In the night and placed on the floor in a sitting posture. It was as if some very powerful pern had picked me up and set me flown. Yet thre was no one In the room but myself and the spirits. I said to them rather sharply: " 'Here, I don't want you to do that again.' "They never did." DOESN'T CONSULT MEDIUMS. Though spiritualist as he Is. Mr. Patten says he does not depend upon spirit advice lo run his business, and he would not encourag any one to do so. "If advice obtained from the spirits coincides with your ,own Impressions about the best thing to d in business, way, follow it. But if it runs counter to your own Judgment, disregard it," Mr. Patten said. "That would bo my counsel respecting the consultation of mediums on business questions. "And yet." said Mr. Patten. "I can tell you of a case in which spirit advice imon business turned out to be valuable. This is r.ot something that I read In th newspapers or heard about: It is a case of which I had personal knowledge. There was a man named Reynold?. James Reynolds. In Utle?.. N. Y.

David Jones was recognized by the brothers and sistcra as the one best qualified to wind up the estate. Now," continued Mr. Patten, T will tell you Just what happened. After the funeral David Jones was sitting in his business office preparing to take up the details of his trust. Suddenly he was impressed with the belief that James Reynolds was present and talking to him. He seemed to hear Reynolds say: " 'Of course, I am only a spirit, and can do nothing ot myself. I am not recognized as having any legal Identity. My estate belongs to my brothers and sisters, and you are authorized to wind it up and divide the assets among the heirs. I am sattsiied that you are the right one to do this. Yet I do not feel willing quite yet to give up my plans. I had to leave every tnlng suddenly, as you know. Tnere were many projects I had contemplated that 1 was not permitted to carry out. I believe that If I nad lived a few years longer 1 would have increased my estate very largely. I believe that if you could retain control of my business and manage it according to my directions as I could from time to time I the value of it. Now, am really tho spirit give them to you could easily double to snow you that I of your brother-ln-I will tell you some law, James Reynolds, things about my affairs which you have not learned, and which no one but James Keynolas could know, "Tne spirit," &ald Mr. Patten, "then told Jones that when fce went to the bank he would hnd the balance of James Reynolds was so many dollars and so many cents. He gave him directions where to find certain papers, and told him about the exact conditions of several business matters on which Joneu had not yet informed himself and of which no one save james Reynolds would be likely to know. " 'Now. said the spirit, 'go and verify what I have told you.' "Jones went to the bank and he Investigated the other statements, and found they were strictly accurate. " 3end for my brothers and sisters,' said the spirit of James Reynolds. 'Tell them Just what has taken place, and lay before them my request that they permit the estate to remain under your nominal control, and that I retain the management of It through you.' "Jones called the heirs together and gave them an account of what had happened. They thought it was very strange, but, after some discussion, they agreed to give the proposition a trial. Jones continued to manage the property. The spirit of James Reynolds appeared to hira and told him Just what to do. For Instance, when there was ready money on hand the spirit would say to Jones: "'Such-and-such a man is thinking of raising a loan. He wants so much. The security is so-and-so. He is willing to pay a certain amount bt interest. Go and see if you can't place the money . A BUSINESS SPIRIT. "Jones would go and find out that it was so, and would make the loan. In like manner the spirit gave Instructions for purchases and sales. Save that his name did not appear in the transactions, James Reynolds managed his affairs just as he had done in life. The directions he gave were urfiformly successful. He frequently expressed to David Jones the pleasure it gave him as a spirit to carry on business. This tiling went on several years, until David Jones found himself executor for an estate worth 00,000 instead of $100,000. When the arrangement was entered into Reynolds's spirit had said that he was anxious to double the estate, as he believed he could have done had he lived. This seemed to have been the strong wish in hi? mind when he died, and that which prompted the return of his spirit. When the $00,000 mark was reached Reynolds's spirit appeared to be entirely satisfied with the experiment. It said to David Jones: " I have accomplished what I set out to do. I have no more desire to engage in worldly matters. There ore other things over here that interest me more. Send for the heirs, give them this message from me. divide the estate among them and accept my thanks for the fidelity with which you have carried out my directions. "Jones did so," said Mr. Patten. "The estate has just doubled in the time he had charge of it. He had at no time exercised his own Judgment, but bad simply done what the spirit of Reynolds Instructed. 2Cow, there is a case where business was managed, and successfully, too, from the other world. It Is the most nota ble case that has come within my personal knowledge. As a rule, however, the spirits do not concern themselves much with our worldly affairs, and I do not seek their advice In business." Edmund Russell, the Onset Spiritualistsays that one cf the best tests he received at their camp this summer was of a business character. He went to a medium with? out any specific purpose, but simply to see what he could get. This frame of mind he has found usually Invites the best results. The medium said to him: "I see a round hill. It is northwest of Denver. On four sides, near the bottom, there are four holes. On the top there Is a deeper hole." As she spoke the medium drew with her finger a diagram and showed the location of the hill and holes. "You are interested in that place," she continued. "Parties are trying to get your share away from you. Don't let it go. There seems to be some work In progress In rhe deep hole on the top of the hill. You will get a letter before long, and it will contain very good news for you about that hole." "The fact is,"- said Mr. Russell, "that seven or eignt years ago I was a mining prospector in Logan Valley near the line between Utah and Idaho. My partner and I found good indications ITi two places near the base of a round mountain, and dug prospect, holes. We traced the veins to the top of the mountain. Then in going down the other side we found two other prospectors had struck the veins near the base. We four prospectors filed our claims and pooled our interests. We started a shaft at the summit, where the veins crossed, and ran It down far enough to get encouragement. We hadn't the means to develop the property, so we formed a company and transferred an even half Interest to parties with capital, who agreed to work the property without expense to us. The shaft was eunk to a depth of sixty feet or so. Since then the other -crowd has been doing Just enough development work yearly to comply with the law, and trying to get us to sell enough stock to give control. I don't know what the prospect is, but the fact that those who have been doing the work are anxious to get control makes me think t.iero is something in the property and that the transfer will be taken advantage of to play a game of freeze-out. We have hdd on to our half interest and declined all propositions from the other side. Now there is this medium's description and there are the facts about the mine. How could she know anything of the place? She had never seen it." "Has the letter come, as she predicted?" 4Not yet. I don't know as I put much faith in that part of it. But what interests me Is the accuracy of her description of a place and of a transaction about which I am certain she knew nothing." Relievers make a distinction between seek.ng and receiving aid In worldly affairs from the spirits. Nearly all of them have some experience to tell of material advantage derived from these communica tions, in aimost every case tne help was volunteered from the other world. When It comes In that way spiritualists welcome it. But tney are spirits to concern matters. loth to Importune the themselves in temporal DO SPIRITS HANDLE MONEY? Father Lyon, as everybody at Onset calls him, says that in hl3 many years of varied

experience as a pirituali3t he has known of one Instance in which coin seemed to come through supernatural agency. "I traveled for quite a-time," Father Lyon said, "with Increase Magee Van Dusen. the man who visited the Mormons and wrote a book about them. 1 became well acquainted with Van Dusen, and we exchanged views upon this subject of spirit return in which we were Interested. Van Duben told me that upon a cfrta.n occasion he and his wife -found themselves In dire financial straits. They were behind In their rent, and were about to be turned out of their homj. In their extremity, not knowins where to or what to do. they went out for a walk and sat down on a pile of lumber. Whl.e they were considering th'.dr hopeless condition, pieces of money began to fall like rain around then. They locked and could see nobody. Th? co ns seamed -to come right down from the' sky. Van Dusen and hi. wife picked up all of the coins they couid find, and :hen counted them. They had just exactly the amount needed for the rent, not a cent more. They searched for some time, but not one more coin could they find. I forgot to say that these coins were all of one denomina:lon the old-fashioned lx and a quarttrvcents. Van Dusen said that he was unable to discover any other explanation for tht shower I

n o mm of money than that It came through tha agency cf the other world." Father Lyon toll this with the air of a man who believed Van Dusen and accepted fully his theory. The story is well matched by. the experience of Mr. Reeman. an inventor and business man cf Oil City. Pa., and the proprietor of a cottage at Lily Dale. Mr. Beeman was prompted to tell his story by a question about the evidence which had convinced him of the truth of spiritualism. "I married into a family of Spiritualists." Mr. Beeman said. "That gave me a start In this direction. I used to see a good deal of spiritualism at my own home. But what confirmed me was something that occurred In a business way. One afternoon I made up my store cash account as usual, filed out the slip, entered the amount In my bank book, and went to the bank to make my daily deposit. Just before 3 o'clock. I laid down the book and the money in the receiving teller's window, anl turned away to speak to some one. whila the bank officer veriilcd the cash and entry. The teller suddenly startled me with: " 'Beeman, you're a dollar short.' "Now. I had counted the money and recounted It before I left the store, and was very certain I had made no mistake. However, I said nothing, but took a dollar out of my pocket, where I carried my personal cash, and thu3 made good the deposit. 1 took my bank book and went back t-i tha store. I said nothing to any one about tho loss. In fact, I didnt think, much more about it. No one. save myself, and the teller knew what had happened, and the teller probably let Jt drop from his mind at once. That evening, when I g)t home, I found my wife preparing to attend a seanca with a ls.dy, whom we knew to be a medium, but who could hardly be called a professional. The seances were attended by a few of us -who were friends and neighbors. I went to the seance with my wife. WhKe we were sitting about the table waiting for what might come, a silver dollr suddenly struck the table with such force as to make a dent. It struck as if thiown down rather than dropped. Immediately the control of the medium said: " 'That's the dollar I took from Beeman to-day "Up to that, time I had not said a word t anybody about the occurrence at the hank. I am satisfied that the whole affair was planned by, the spirits to give me a convincing test, and I have never had any doubt of the truth of spiritualism since. The medium through whom the dollar was returned is at Lily Dale. There was one other significant detail I forgot to mention. I spoke of the peculiar dent the dollir made on the table. I tried repeatedly to throw down the doilar, and make another dent just like It, but couldn't do It. Others tried. I have never seen that dent duplicated by human agency." But, notwithstanding such strange phenomena as have been, described, the is p-i ritualists, with almost unanimity, say to baniness men contemplating secret pirtners!iip with the other world through mediums, "Don't."

Sullivan Doesn't Think Corbett Can v Fight Six Conspcntive Nijjhts. , BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 8. In an Interview here to-day John L. Sullivan expressed the opinion that Fitzsimmons would have a very fine chance of wlnidng In a fight with Corbett. The only place where the two men can fight without trouble, Sullivan thinks. Is near New Orleuis. "The New Orleans men," he says, "have been very liberal In offereing b!a purses, and If Corbett thinks he can, whip Fitzsimmons, why does he not give up the thaw business a few weeks and win thtt $35,000? As for him saying that he can Ikk a man every night in the week and not mind it, why, that't utterly Idiotic. Any man is liable to have his hand injured on th first night, and then where would he be? I see that Fitzsimmons has proposed for the two of them to tree only a week off and have the fight then and there. That shows how anxious Fitzsimmons is for a fight. Let Corbett take him up."
