HON. RICHARD P. BLAND.
Distinguished Statesman and Congressman from Mis¬
souri, Who Died Thursday.
Tor more than two months he had
been confined to his home and his
•V.’
health gradual’y declined. He thought
he would not survive the attack from
the first and shfewed his thorough
knowledge third of his condition.
On the of this month Mr.
Bland suddenly grew Worse, his sons,
who were in school, were summoned
home and for the first time the public
was informed of his critical condition.
From time to time since tho patient
showed signs of improvement, but he
continued to grow weaker. Sunday
and Monday last he presented an im¬
proved -condition and Monday after¬
noon strong hopes for his recovery
were entertained.
At about 10 o’clock Tuesday night,
however, he fell asleep and continued
in that condition until death.
The strain on Mrs. Bland’s nervous
system has been vety great and her
friends Ore alarmed at its effect. Mr.
Bland left no life insurance and died
a comparatively poor man.
Mrs. Bland has received several
dozen messages' of condolence from
admirers -of her husband all over the
country.
Private Secretary Bell has notified
the clerk of the house of representa¬
tives of Mr. Bland’s death, requesting
him to appoint a committee of mem¬
bers to attend the funeral. Promi¬
nent friends of Mr. Bland throughout
the country have been notified of the
funeral arrangements.

Was Unique Character.
Mr. Blaud was one of the most
unique characters in American politics.
He was commonly known as “Silver
Dick” Bland, and was as frequently
called the father of the silver cause.
He was a typical farmer, in dress, in
manners and in his general habits,
always simple, unassuming, easily ap-
proachod, and cordial.
He was born near Hartford, Ky.,
August 10, 1835, received an academic
education, removed to Missouri in
1855, thence to California, and thence
to that portion of Utah now Nevada,
locating at Virginia City, practiced
law, was interested in mining opera¬
tions in California and Nevada, was
county treasurer of Carson county,
Utah Territory, from 1860 until the
organization of the state movement of
Nevada; returned to Missouri iu 1865,
located at Kolia, Mo., and C. practiced
law with his brother, C. Bland, un¬
til ho removed to Lebanon in August,
I860, and continued his practice there,
was elected to the 43d, 44th, 45th,
46th, 47tb, 48th, 49th, 50th, 51st, 52d,
and 53d congresses, and was elected
to tho 55th congress as a silver demo¬
crat, receiving 24,605 votes, against
19,754 votes for T. D. Hubbard, re¬
publican, and 1,467 votes for J. H.
Steincipher, populist.
Candidate For President.
That, in brief, is a summary of his
b 4 years of life. At the last demo¬
cratic national convention in Chicago
he was a prominent candidate for the
nomination for president and after the
■nomination of Mr. Bryan could have
been nominated for the second place,
but wired Governor Stone to withdraw
his Dame,as lie considered it unwise to
name both of the candidates from west
of the Mississippi.
Mr. Bland’s closest friends say that
he has never been himself since he
was defeated for the presidential nom¬
ination. Although he was in the last
congress he did not show the energy
or comhativeness of former years. He
still kept his hold on hi* district and
was re-elected to the next congress by
a handsome majority.
BREESE IS RE-ARKESTED.
Death of One of HU Bondsmen Made Hie
Surety Inadequate.
W. F. Breese, president of the de¬
funct First National bank of Asheville,
N. C., who was tried and convicted of
embezzlement at a special terra of
United States court in April and given
ten years’ imprisonment, and who was
out cn hail pending appeal, was taken
into custody by a United States mar¬
shal at his home in Brevard Thursday
morning. Tho arrest was because
Breese’s bond had become inadequate
by reason of the death of one of bit
sureties a few days ago.
ARE AFTER EVANS.
Pension Attorney* Are Anxious To Hove
Commissioner Impeached.
A Washington dispatch says: The
pension attorneys are going to take
their fight on H. Clay Evans into
congress. Several days ago Captain
Evans came out in an open statement
attacking the attorneys and claiming
that the action of the G. A. R. posts
was inspired by the attorney sharks.
Corporhl Tanner and others who
have been leading the fight in secret
have come into the open and claim
that Evans is liable to impeachment
and that impeachment charges will be
filed against him in the next congress.
