Helena, Mont., Sept. 2G. Mr.
Chaa. E. Ely authorizes the publica
tion in the Post Dispatch of the fol
lowing letter:
Helena, Mont., Sept. 17, 189G.
Mr. Cbas. E. Ely, Helena, Mont.:
Dear Sir I hereby authorize you
to publish that I will make a con
tract for one hundred thousand dol
lars ($100,000) worth of silver, for
which I will agree to pay one dollar
ud ten cents ($1.10) per ounce in
United States gold coin, and to be
taken as soon as W. J. Bryan, as
president of the United States, has
ligned a coinage bill, which will
provide for the free and unlimited
outage cf silver at a ratio compar
d with cold at 1G to 1 and if
any of those who are talking
about 50o dollars desire I his con
tract, and are willing to put up a
forfeiture, I am prepared to secure
the officer by a forfeiture cf twenty
thousand dollars ($20,000.)
I feel confident that I can arrange
imilar contracts among my circle of
business acquaintances for twenty
million dollars ($20,000,000) to be
taken one million a month for
twenty msnths after the signature
of such a bill. Truly yours,
B. H. Kleisschmidt.
This offer was sent by Mr. Klein-
achmidt to the New York World.
The editor of the Wot Id declined to
publish it, but wired to Helena to
ascertain if Mr. Kleiuscbrnidt is re
aponsibible. When the World found
oat that Mr. Klienscbmidt is entire
ly responsible they dropped the
matter. Mr Kleicsebniidt is one of
the leading merchants of Helena
and ow9 large iuterests in gold
mines in the state, and his ability to
form a syndicate of Montana mil
lionaires that will agree to take
$20,000,000 worth of silver at $1.10

Of all the big newspapers ihat
have fought Bryan since the Chicago
convention nominated him, the New
York World has been one of the bit
terest, the most persistent and the
most powerful. Its immense wealth
wide circulation and extensive re
sources made it more injurious as a
foe than scores of public speakers
and hundreds of tons of anli Demo
cratic literature. With all its sym
pathies, its selfish interest and its
hopes centered on the defeat of Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, it has been
compelled to yield to the unanswer
able argument of stubborn facts.
Its corps of correspondents.the most
reliable and experienced that money
could employ. Lave canvassed close
ly the situation in every State in the
Union. The World acknowledges
the result which their careful sifting
of facts discloses, and declares edi
torially that Major McKinlev is al
ready beaten.
It wU be gratifying to both Dem
ocrats and Republicans to learn that
Mr. Pulitzer's newspaptr attributes
the utter annihilation of Mc'Kinley's
chances to fusion. It says: "Fusion
has, to a resonable certainty, added
Alabama, Kansas, .Nebraska, North
Carolina and Tennessee fifty two
electoral votes to the forty-six elec
toral votes of Arkansas, Colorado,
Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, South
Carolina, Utah, Washington and
Wyomiug that were already assumed
to be reasonably safe fur silver It has

'In brief, fusion has made it nf c
eesary that there shall be enormous
Democratic defections from the free
silver ticket if Mr. McKinley is to
have even a respectable majority
of the electoral votes For even
if he gets every State east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio

Virginia also,he still needs two more

Fair Proposition.
The citizens of Sedalia have made
a good, clean and gallant tight to
secure the removal of the capital.
They made a plain, fair and honest
proposition and they have given a
valid and sufficient bond to carry
out every promise made by their
representatives. Now tLe question
is with the voters and no intelligent
Missourian need be in the dark. Re
moval of the capital will not cost the
tax-payers of Missori a cent; but, on
the other hand, incase the amend
ment is adopted the state will re
ceive new buildings in place of the
old ones. If removal is defeated tax
payers will have to pay large sums
for repairing the old building now
in use It is for the voters to say
what is for the best interests of the
state. Warsaw Enterprise.
That Court House Story.
Jefferson City and a few papers in
her interest have pulished a story
about the removal of the csurt house
from Georgetown to Sedalia. The
facts are:
In the fall of 1SG2 the records
were moved from Georgetown to Se
dalia for safety. In 1864 the county
seat was located permanently at Se
dalia on condition that Sedalia build
a court house for the county free of
cost. Sedalia did build the court
house on the northwest corner of
the present court house square; and
a clerk's office and record room on
the northeast corner of the square.
The county accepted the court house
and held court in it for nine years,
when it was burned. There never
that 95 towns in the State have no
place of worship, that of 20,000 fam
ilies visited last year, 10,000 are out
side of Christian influence. This
would seem to indicate that, after
all, there is considerable need of
mission work right at home. Fields
white for the harvest at our doors,
and yet we stand idle."
Maine is not a large State, and
such a showing is truly deplorable.
If instead of buying votes and im
porting Canadian repeaters across
the borders, Mark Hanna had ex
pended a portion of his barrel in
buying Bibles and trying to civilize
and Christianize Maine, he might
not have recorded such a large Re
publican majority, but it would
prove of greater lasting benefit to
the down east jumping off place.

Thomas E. Watson, that we nomin

The electors in the Fourth and
Thirteenth districts are Populists
nominees for Congress, and their se

clear for the Democratic nominees,

sons to Yale that associations with
such students could but prove hurt

ACADEMY TOTALLY DESTROYED.

Antlers, I. T., October 4. At 11
o'clock last night, Spencer academy,
located about ten miles of Antlers,
burned to ashes together with all
the furniture and four Choctaw boy
burned up in the flames.
The origin of the fire is supposed
to be incendiary, as no one was occu
pying the room in which the lire
broke out and there had been no fire
in it this season.
! Superintendent J. B. Jeter, who il
in charge of the school, saw the
glare of the flames and when he got
up the stairway was on fire. He ran
on the outside and woke all t'te boys
and bravely saved his own life. The
hnxH threw their beds out of the
windows and jumped to the ground
on them.
One of the boys who was burned
to death was a crippie and the other
three were in rooms in which there
were no windows. Their moans and
groans were heart-sickening in the
extreme. The fir is still too hot to
get the bones for funeral.
