HIS LETTBR OF ACCEPTANCE GIVEN
TO THE COUNTRY.
IIE ENDORSES CLEVEUND.
Some of His Ideas on Finance, the
Tariff and the Force BUI, and
Calls Attention to the Dan
gers of the Latter.
Charleston, W. Va.. Nov. l.-Adlai
E. Stevenson, Democratic candidate for
the vice presidency, has sent his letter
ot acceptance to the president of the
national Democratic convention.
General Stevenson said that, in view
of the fact that from the time of his ac
ceptance of the trust in the presence of
20,000 people in Now York, he had been
so closely engaged in the canvass that
he hail not had the time to bestow the
care that the subject demanded upon a
written acceptance. He further re
ferred to the clear and complete outline
of policy indicated in Mr. Cleveland’s
letter, which had already been given to
the country, and announced his hearty
endorsement of the same. Upon th*e
question of tariff, General Stevenson
says:
Tariff Reform Is Needed.
The greatest power conferred upon hu
man government is that of taxation. All
groat struggles of the past for broader po
litical liberty have looked toward a limit
ation of this power by the right to tax, a
right which should always be limited by
the necessities of the government, and to
benefits which may ~bo shared by all.
Whenever this power is used to draw tri
bute from the many for the benefit of the
few, or when a part of the people are op
pressed in order that the remainder may
prosper unduly, equality is lost sight of,
injustice loudens into precedent which is
used to excuse new exactions, and there
arise official distinctions wliich the bene
ficiaries come to look upon in duo time as
vested rights, sacred to themselves.
It is plain that our present inequitable
system of tariff taxation lias promoted
the growth of such conditions in our land,
favored though it lias been by industrious
and enterprising people, a friendly cli
mate. a productive soil and the highest
development of political liberty. If the
beneficiaries of this system shall be able
to add a new tenure of power to those
they have already enjoyed, the develop
meat of these unfavorable conditions
must continue until the power to tax will
be lodged in those who are willing anil
able to pay for the perpetuation of the
privileges originally conferred by the con-
tiding people for the preservation invio
late of their own government. There is
no longer a pretext or excuse for the
maintenance of the war tariff in times of
peace, and more than a quarter of a cen
tury after the armed conflict has ceased.
The plat form of the N"*maal Democratic
convention demands a reform of this sys.
tern and tile adoption in its place of one
which will insure equality to our people.
I mu in full and hearty accord with these
purposes.
About Finance.
The convention also declared its posi
tion on tin- currency question in no un
meaning words when it said in its plat
form : “We hold to the use of both gold
ami silver as the standard money of the
country, and to.tlia coinage of both gold
and silver w.thout discriminating against
eit her metal or charge for mintage, but
the dollar unit of coinage of both metal-
must be of equal intrinsic and exchange
able value, or be adjusted through inter
national agreement, or by such safeguard-
of legislation as shall insure the parity of
the two metals and the equal power of
eve^v dollar at all times in the markets
and in payment of debt, and we demand
that all paper curreucy shall be kept at
par with and redeemable in such coin
To this plain anil unequivocal declara
tion in favor of sound, honest money, I
subscribe without reservation or qualifl
cation. A safe circulating medium is ab
solutely essential to the protection of the
business interests of our country, while to
the wage-earner or farmer it is ail impor
tant that every dollar, whatever its form,
that finds its way into his pocket, shall be
of equal, unquestionable and universally
exchangeable value and of equal pur
chasing power.
Tlie Force Rill
Another issue of great moment in the
pending contest is the force bill, the mag
nitude of wliich cannot lie overstated. It
may mean the control of the election of
representatives in congress by the bayo
net. The republican party, by its late
national convention, stands pledged to
the passage of this bill. That it will pass
when it has the power no sane man can
doubt.
From a financial standpoint. General
Stevenson shows the damaging effect
the passage of the bill would have.
There will be passed, he says, laws re
tail iatory, which would disturb the
values of property and destroy the se
curity of northern investments, its re
Hex action upon the north would result
in the loss of commercial relations, by
which the two sections add ter each
other’s wealth and prosperity, as well as
materially retard the material growth
of the states at which the measure is
aimed, and threaten the liberties of the
whole people.
lie then appeals to the “instinct of
self-interest and to the sense of common
justice of the American people” not to
destroy the era of good feeling com
menced by the election of Cleveland, in
1884, by the enactment of a measure at
tended by so many disastrous results
and accomplishing nothing beyond the
perpetuation in power of a party which
hits lost public confidence.
Mr. Stevenson quotes the words of a
republican senator, who pronounced the
force bill “the most infamous that ever
crossed the threshold of the senate.”
In closing, Mr. Stevenson said:
I accept the nomination tendered me,
and should the action of the Convention
meet the approval of my countrymen,
o the best of my abili;

The club house was supposed to he
fire proof, but it burned like tinder, and
before the fire company could get on the
grounds the whole interior was a seeth
ing furnace.
The guests in the two hotels had
plenty of time to escape, even if the fire
had spread, hut they became frenzied
by the sight of the flames so near, and
began tumbling over each other in their
endeavor to escape from what seemed
certain death.
The majority reached the street via
the staircase, and every one got out

rapidly consuming the club house, aud,
in less thay forty njinutes, nothing was
left hut the bare walls.
A great mass of blazing debris was
showered on the cyclorama and bank
note company’s buildings, hut were ex
tinguished as fast as they fell. The cy
clorama was damaged by water to a
considerable extent, but, as yet, it is im
possible to estimate the loss.
The loss of the building is variously
estimated from $80,000 to $127,000. It
was still in the hands of the contrac
tors, who have not yet turned it over to
the athletic association.

SAYS GOD TOLD HIM
Tc Drown His Little Children and
Shoot His Sister-In-Law- r
Mac in, Ga., Nov. 1 —Louisville, Ga ,
was thrown into a fever of excitement
Saturday morning by the announcement
that Dr. G. W. Kelly, one of the most
prominent physicians of the county,
had become insane and had attempted
to kill his little eight-year-old girl by
throwing her in a forty-foot well and
had shot his sister-in-law for inter
feiing.
The affair is sad and most shocking,
both on account of bis prominence as a
physician and because of the high es
teem in whioh he has heretofore been
held.
It seems that Dr. Kelly has for some
time been suffering from mental aberra
tion and religious fanaticism.
His frieods aud relatives have noticed
his condition, but thought it nothing
unusnal, as he was given to such spalls
heretofore and harmless. His insanity
culminated on Saturday in his attempt
to destroy his entire family. He urged
as his excuse for attempting the horri
ble deed that God bad commanded him
to kill his family to save their souls. He
said God had told him that unless he
killed his wife and children their souls
would be lost, that he felt be was doing
an act for which he would be justified
in heaven. He laughed while talking
of the affair and seemed disappointed
that his horrible design had been frus
trated.
Owing to the urgency oi the case he
was given a speedy trial and taken at
once to the asylum on the night train
by Sheriff W. W. Rhodes and Mr. I. F.
Farmer.
Sheriff Rhodes and Mr. Farmer, after
fulfilling their sad mission, stopped
over in this city. They say that excite
ment runs high in Louisville, and the
community is greatly stirred up over
the horrible aflair. The unfortunate
woman whom he shot iB in a critical
conditiou, and will probably die, but
the attending physicians say there is a
chance for her recovery. The wounds
are of a serious nature. The first ball
entered her chin and came oat at the
back of her neck. The second shot took
effect near the spine, ranging upward*,
lodging near the hip. When the unfor
tunate sisier-in-law first realized the
extent of Dr. Kelly’s madness he had
already (brown his little daughter in the
well With a scream she rushed for
ward and tried to prevent his mnrder-
ons intent. At this he drew bis re
volver and fired. She ran into the house
followed by the infuriated father. See
ing no othor way to escape she leaped
from a window. As she did so he fired
the second time and strack her in the
back.
Her cereamB attracted the neighbors,
and after a fearful straggle the would-
be infanticide and murderer was over
come. In the meantime the piteous
wails of the child in the well attracted
tbe crowd to tbat point. By what
seemed a miracle, she had not sunk be
neath the water. After a number of
attempts the backet was lowered suf
ficiently for tbe child to get into it.
Standing knee-deep in the water which
wa3 in the backet and clinging to tbe
rope, she was drawn to the top. Tlie
child is ill from tbe effects of the fright,
and her condition is said to be critical.
