Cleveland that he never changed. They
had seen him lose the presidency by
fidelity to principle. Admiring devo
tion to principle, tho people had put
him in the presidential chair.
Mr. Dalzell, Republican, of Pennsyl
vania spoke in favor of the repal bill,
but he did not hold the Sherman law
responsible for the presemt business
age” 5 ” 10 "' He aI “° opposed free Coin-
Need, More I.nnd.
Mr. Hatch, Democrat, of Missouri
was satisfied that the prosperity of the
country and the welfare of all the
people depended upon the decision of
congress on: this financial question.
He did not believe that any finite mind
could meaoure tho consequences of this
legislation. On Its determination rested
the settlement of the financial problem
for the next twenty.flvo years. No man
had a more supreme contempt for the
Sherman law than he had, from the
first word to the last word. He had
denounced It and had voted against It;
but In connection with tt* repeal there
should be some attempt to relieve the
people and to move the great crop* of
the country which were lvlng tn store
houses because there was no money to
move them. It was said that what the
people needed was confidence. It would
be the most 'Hurculean task ever at
tempted by a legislative body from the
time of Adam down to the present time
to restore confidence among New York
bankers. They knew esch other too
well. (Applause and Isughter.) He
criticised the action of the New York
banks, and declared that every one of
them had openly and outrageously vi
olated the law for the past thirty days.
The remedy was to coin the sliver bull
ion of the treasury. He then spoke In
most eulogistic terms of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and
quoted a newspaper report of one of
their meetings when one of the engi
neers was called upon to offer prayer.
His prayer was an eloquent one. He
said that the locomotive was oro the
tracks, the fires were lighted, the boiler
was full, the men were in their places,
the track,was clear: but, oh. Lord,
give ua more sand to help us go up an
Incline or come down a hill In safety:
and, oh. Lord.” continued Mr. Hatch,
"what the Democratic party needs Is
mare sand." (Applause and laughter.)
A mot DeSrUilr 1)1. I,
Mr. Cunrminga Democrat, of New
York, recognised' the fact that the peo
ple of the country demanded action and
not talk and he had not intended to
trespass upon the indulgence of the
hours until he heard the arraignment
of the New York Democracy by the gen.
tleman from Misstacppt (Stockdale).
The New York Democrat* needed no
vindication at Ms hand*, but the South
ern Dmiocrats needed vindication be
fore the people when they arraigned the
New York Democracy. He represented
a district tn wbMi there were very few
hank*—fewer, perhaps, thtur In any
othtr congressional district! of the
United State*. He represented the teem
ing and toiling millions of New York.
He represented a dlotrtot where there
were more than 1.000 workers living in
one block; he represented a dhrtrict
whom today the black flag, but not the
red flag, had been raised, bearing the
inscription "Bn-id." He represented
that cry of "Bread." "Work." The only
work these flollert could get waa from
the matnifttcturons m New York city,
and the manufacturers told them that
they could not got work until the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman law was
repelled. No.man. frlmd or foe, had
ever accused Grover Cleveland of going
back upon or abating one Jot or title
from hi* convictions. At the Chicago
convention Missouri had voted eo!ld!y
for Mm. Mlstaselppi had done the same.
The time to entrap votes against him
wae then, not now. (Applause.) The
New York Democracy had gone to the
front line of battle. It had pieced the
centre of the enemy, while the Wee:
and South were attacking the wings.
The New York Democracy stood today
by IU pledge*, it had accepted tb*
platform.
Mr. Cummings’ rime expired awl Mr,
Fitch asked that tt be extended for ont
minute. Mr. Kyle, Democrat, of Mis
sissippi, objected, which objection
drew forth ths remark from
Mr. Cummings that a Mireteaippiin
had attacked New York and a Mis-
stulpplan had prevented reply; hut
Mr. Turner, Democrat, of Georgia, who
wae next entitled to the floor, yielding
to Mr. Cummings, who, continuing,
eald that New York In accepting the
nominee had accepted the platform,
and New York and the nominee stood
by tho platform today. Gentlemen
from the South were re»pon*ible for
the president of the United State*; they
ought to have the firmness to eUnd
by him. The trouble wae there wee
a great aurplue of stare-men and a
great dearth of politicians. (Applause
and laughter.)
•i urnrr for Frsi* roln*c«*.
Mr. Turner offGeorgls eald he would
vote for the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law. but he
would alio vote for the free coinage
of silver at the hlgheet ratio propoeed.
But he did not believe that either the
repeal of the purchasing clause or the
free coinage of silver would restore
confidence. It wae atoo necessary for
the people and fori the bankers of New
York to ahow s great deal of patriot-
l*m. He believed that the genius of
the country would bo esusl to every
emergency.
Mr. Collin. Democrat of Wyoming
said that the present conflict was be 3
tween the people .in the one aide and
Ihe plutocracy on the other. He spoke
In favor of free cohnce.

'Urn Uvmiins H’hIoii,
After tho recess Mr. Ilunbtr,- Demo
crat, of Illinois, took the floor. He said
that he would vote for the Wilson bill

Mr. Dunn ol New Jersey advocated

Mr, McDearmon. Democrat, of Ten-
nr- rer, paid a high trihu’ V, to the pa-
trtcirtifm and integrity of 'the president,
and regretted that in.t/his lnatonoe he
was unible ix> folldw his lead and
should tl obliged to vote against the
WHron bill.
The refusal of the opposition to ac
cept any amendment Bhowed that they
were amlng at monometallism. The
bullion In the treasury should be
coined, the eelgnorage covered into the
treasury and the currency thus In
creased by 510.000.000. Then tho Sher
man act would not appear so bl»ck as
" waa painted.
Mr. Harris, Fopullst-Demiocrat, of
Kansas did not know that all the
knowledge of monetary finance was
confined to the Shylocka and Capt.
Kids, and that the agriculturalist* of
the West were Ignorant. Then, should
the country come to a silver basis, he
would pot regard that a* an Irretriev
able misfortune. Prices would n(
longer fall end we should command the
trade of Mexico and Central and
South America, to the exclusion
the European nation*. Had the Sher
man law lb*M> administered by it*
friends, although not a proper money-
measure. It would have aided power
fully tn the demonetization of silver.
Kansas was a unit for free coinage
at 18 to 1.
Mr. Bell. Popullat, of Kansas, ex
pounded at length the clrcumstancea
attending the demonetization of silver
In 1I7J. which he undertook to show
■we* done In the Interest of else** who
received fixed Income*. The total
amount of gold In the world If divided
fairly would give the United State*
about 8 cent* per capita. Yet tho peo
ple said that silver would drive gold
out of the country. The Western peo
ple did not want the money of tno
East. They did not want the mints
open eo that they could receive silver;
*o that the West and South could deal
with Mexico, nnd exchange their wheat
and cotton for m-mey to pay their
debt*. The Eastern manufacturers
were killing their beet customers tn
shutting down ihe silver mines of the
West.

ICopvrlcht, taa, by Charles B. Lewis.]
Of tho 80 families making up what was
known ua “Johnson's train,” which left
Topeka for western Kansas to make a
new frontier, five of them settled on tho
Ihnoky Hill fork of the KsMMltWidiM
tn-.ith of tho present town of Sheridan.
It amazes one at this day to look back
and realizo tho risks encountered by such
pioneers. After driving their wagons
for days and days straight into tho In
dian country, the families separated into
email colonies >md dropped off hero and
there to make a beginning, with tho odds
eo heavily against them that it might be
called criminal recklessness. Tho fivo
families mentioned counted up fivo men,
fivo women, three hoys over 16 years of
age and six children from 4 to 10 years
old. I was one of the three boys nnd
was living in tho Johnson family.
On a rldgo on the south bank of tho
river fivo dugouta wero constructed for
temporary nse. Tlitso were not more
than JO feet apart. Each family's wag
on was drawn up In front of its cave,
while tho homes were hobbled and al
lowed to graze where they would. Each
man then selected a pieco of laud to suit
himself and began cutting timber in the
groves to build n ehanty. As it was
early springtime tho women nnd chil
dren planted corn and potatoes and made
gardens. How it came about that'the
Indians let ns alone for several months
has always been a puzzle to me, but for
TWO INDIANS SUDDENLY SPRAXO OUT ON ME.
some reason we wero not molested.
They certainly knew of onr presence,
and they os certainly knew onr strength,
bnttho boldness of the invasion may
have fa ado them afraid. Mr. Johnson,
who had organized the train, was a
bravo man nnd inclined to hold tho In
dians in contempt. On one occasion he
was with a party of 10 men who "stood
off” over 100 redskins, and from that
time on he was very boastful. When
September came and tho Indians bad
not molested ns, he argued that fear
kept them away, and it provoked him
when any of the women predicted fnturo
disaster.
On the 10th of September a cow lie-
longing to the Johnsons waa mireing.
There wero four cows belonging to tho
colony, nnd this ono wore u belL It was
fonnised that tho animal hod got mired
along tho river, and on tho morning of
the 80th I was sent ont to look for her.
I carried with mo n shotgun belonging
to one of the men and started off up tha
stream without thought of danger. For
n distanco of about two miles the bank
wis oovered by n belt of cottonwoods. 1
struck Into this belt half a milo above
tho dU3uuts and was (scarcely among tho
trees when I lioard tho cowbell. I was
a bit disappointed, as I wonted to ex
plore tho country and do n little shoot
ing, but I made directly for tho boll.
After a minuto or two X discovered
that the cow waa moving np tho river,
and 1 broke into a run to overtake her.
I was moving along at a smart pace
when two Indiana suddenly eprnng out
on me, and in a trico I was disarmed,
thrown down nnd bound. A minuto
later n third Indian camo up with tho
cowbell In his hand. IIo lmd used tho
bell to decoy ine into the timber, and tho
trio appeared to bo Immensely pleased at
tho mccresof the stratagem. Thtsowero
the first hostile Indians I liad ever seen at
close quarters, and for the first few min
ntesl eijiceted to bo tomahawked and
scalped. They were in warpaint, armed
with rilles and all middle aged. After a
brief council one of them went away, and
the othre. * , it down on a log near by and
conver.-e 1 together. In about 10 min
utes the one who bad gone away reap
peared in company with 17 others, mak
ing a band of 20 in all.
To my amazement, one of tho new
comers addremed me in tolerably fair
English, neuing if all tits man were at
home, how many guns wa had and wheth
er tho women e, old th' ot as welt as the
men. Win!" very badly frightened—a*
what boy wouldn't have been tinder the 1
circa tn Mur. t-s?—I did not fail to catch
tho drift of nis queries. They were plan
ning a bold attack on the colony, and if
not a eonl would escape
(Uscharged, and the warrior who had it
uttered a “H-o-l-l-oI" ns if I wero calling
for help.
While the Indians wero lying in nm-
bnsh in the eilgo of the timber one of our
men named Green, who was hunting
along tho bank of tho stream for a tree
of particular size, came directly upon
mo without the least suspicion that In
dians wero about I was so laehed that
I could not move hand or foot, and of
course the gag prevented mo from speak
ing. Green etood and looked at me for
a full minute without opening hie mouth
and then bolted away at the top of hie
epeed. Ho could have released me in 20
eeconda, but ho lost his nerve and ran
away. As ho did not know in which di
rection iho redskins wero ambushed, he
ran right into them and was made cap
tive and bound and gagged like myself.
Soon after tki3 occurrenco Mr. John
son, who lmd como np from field work,
was told by his wifo that alio had heard
the reports of my gun and a shout or
two, and ho concluded to investigate.
He started for the river without taking
a weapon, bnt was accompanied by his
dog. Ho was within pistol eliot of tho
ambush and walking right into it when
his dog scented the Indians nnd gave the
alarm. As Johnson turned to run every
man of tho 20 fired at him, and yet not a
bullet scratched him. One warrior, who
was lying in tho weeds not moro than 12
feet from Johnson os ho turned, sprang
up and gave chaso and but for the dog
would have overtaken the half dazed
pioneer. The animal got in his way and
tripped him down, and in falling the
redskin almost sliced his nose off on his
own tomahawk. Johnson shouted as he
fled, and of course tho camp was nt onco
alarmed. One dash by the savage*
would have carried it, bnt they were
Afraid to try it. They fired about 60
shots nt long rango, indulged in a great
deal of yelling and boasting and at the
end of an hour drew off.
Wo went up the river for a milo and
there found their ponies. They had
campod there tho previous night and had
killed and eaten most of tho cow I was
looking for. Green had his elbows
hound behind his hack and the noose of
a lariat thrown over liis head and was
obliged to follow on foot. I wns not
bound in any manner at nil, bnt taken
np behind the warrior who had con
versed with me in English. Ho wns a
full blooded Indian nnd n snbehief nnd
had probably picked up tho lnnguago
from hunters or aronnd some of tho
forts. He seemed to have taken a liking
to me, but was very snvago toward
Green. He eald that a war party of a
hundred or more would como up within
a day or two and scalp overy person in
tho colony. Ho asked my namo, how
long I had been with tho Johnsons and
observed that Indian life would havo
many charm* for mo. I realized that it
was tho wisest policy to mako n friend
of him, and I answered him in such a
way a* to lead him to bolieve that my
captivity was not in tho least disagree
able to me.
We redo from about 1 o’clock in the
afternoon to enndown before we reached
tho Indian village, which wns situated
on a creek emptying into tho river I havo
named.. There wero about 60 lodges,
with perhaps 200 pcoplo, and about a
dozen of tho warriors wero suffering
with wounds more or lea* severe. As
near as I could mako out they had been
received in n battlo with nnother tribe.
Onr arrival created ns much fuss as if a
great victory had been won. But for
my Indian friend tho aquaws and hoys
would havo pitched into mo at once. 1
had received several blows and kicks
when ho interfered, but in poor Mr.
Green's caso no ono cared how much ho
was abused, lie was nearly doad boat
by his long journey, during which he
was often maltreated, and now as soon
as ho was brought into the vlllago tho
squaws nnd boys tormented him unmer
cifully. Ho wns slapped, kicked,
switched and pulled about until he
broke down and cried ont, nnd this weak
ness on hts part only added zest to tho
eport. Ho nppealod to mo, nnd I in turn
appealed to my friend, bnt hoTrnsquely
answered:
“He is a fool to cry ont at this! How
will it bo when wo terture him tomor-
Tbat night there was a council meet
ing, and from what I could hear and ob-
eervo my friend was seeking to have mo
ola mind squaw placed over mo as a
guard. All others gathered to witness
tno sport. I saw tho lino* formed before
I entered the lodgo, and tho yelling and
shouting which occurred a few minutes
later were proof that Green was passing
down and back. I had no thought of es
cape until I discovered tho old crone’s
blindness and knew that w# were alona.
Almost before I realized what I was do
ing I had crept out of iho back of tho
tent and was running for tho timber.
Tho mob of Indians was about 40 rods
ray, nnd though I was in plain view
