Bristow was received yesterday fils name was far from a living memory oven in the minds of the older people. 'The averago student of politics was compelled to brush up his history to re- call the Important and dramatic part in detail which Bristow played during Grant's last term. He was born in Kentucky in 1882 and was admitted to the bar of his native State in 1853. He joined the ranks of the Kentuckians loyal to the Union when the rebellion broke out, becoming loutenant colonel of the 25th Kentucky Infuntry and afterwards colonel of the 8th Kentucky Calvary. Heserved with distinction through the war and fought bravely under Grant at Fort Donnelson and Shiloh, He filled many important positions in his native State and after serving as United States District Attor- ney for the Louisville district from 1865 to 1970, ind was then appointed solici- tor general of the United States. In 1878 ho was nominated attorney general but failed of confirmation, He had completely won the confidence and ad- miration of President Grant, however, and he appointed him secretary of the treasury on June 8, 1874. A St. Louis newspaper man gave him. important clews as to gigantic frauds upon the intormal revenue which Secretary Bris- tow tool up and investigated with great ability and persistency, 'The result was the Whiskey ring scandal which con- vulsed the Republican party and out- raged the uation. Prominent Republi- cun officlals wore implicated and the trial which Secretary Bristow followed lead to the White House. O. E. Bab- cock, the president's private secretary was qrrested for complicity in the frauds, tried and although acquitted lind to resign. 'The resignation of Sec- retury Barstow soom followed it being generally understood that this step was prompted because of the President's supposed withdrawal of hearty sup- port after the Babcock incident, In 1876 Col. Barstow was made a candidate for President by President Grant's enemies and received 99 votes on the first ballot. He gave. Hayes his support on the sixth ballot. After leaving the cabinet, he practiced law in New York, completely withdrawing from politics. His dis- closures of rottenness in the Republi- can party apparently placed him beyond the pale, and even if he had desired it, Col. Barstow could not have been con- sidered as a candidate for further hon- ors at the hands of his party. Already the Democratic gunners who nre gotting in line for the great bittle bave begun to use ammunition so kindly furnished by Thomas C. Platt, an officer of high rauk on the other side. Chairman Thacher at the Democratic state convention evoked prolonged applause\ when he effective- ly referred to Gen. Platt's arraignment of McKinley, It was not necessary for the Information of a single dele gate In that vast convention to indicate quotation marks or to assign the au- thorship wlien he characterized McKinley as \mn dangerous and misleading candidate, whose votes and speeches show that he has no settled convictions on the money ques- tion and whose managers have endeay- ored to secure support in one part of the country by declaring that he is in favor of the gold standard and in oth- er parts they declare that he is favor of silver.\ 'The solid shot was cast in the foundry of truth to which Gen. Platt in some way gained access, and hence its effectiveness. An official dispatch from Havana de- clares that Gen. Weyler is pleased with the aspect of military affairs in Cuba. | He is soon to receive 40,000 more troops from Spain, and perhaps the butcher 'anticipates with pleasure the addition- al slaughter this means for both sides. 'The Cubans have reached a point They may be annihilated, but conquered, never, But the advantage of condit- fons, of climatization and situation is alt with the patriots. 'They are receiv- ing arms and ammunition almost equal to their needs from their friends in the United States and Weyler's boast that be will return to Spain next June tri- umphant, has a sound very similar to the ompty boast of Burgoyne a few months before his humiliating surren- der, A Madrid paper states that if the ment is as outlined in unofficial dis- patches to Spain his stay in Havana will be made difficult. If the murder of Innocents and the slaughter of prison- erg continues much longer, Gen, Lee's position in Cuba should be made ten- able at, the head of an American army. ellie 'The plans for the coast improvements have been submitted to the secretary of war. We have millions for defense, but not near euough to meet the re- quirements of the inudequate and de cayed fortifleations of our seaports. eli 'The disaster at Moscow in which 2,- 500 persons lost their lives will be as- cribed to an act of God by the com- mittee of inquiry.\ There is a pointer for tlie American coroner's jury, s- Heury of Navarre, like his iNustrious namegake, lead thg van yesterday in the Suburban. tenor of Gen. Lee's rport to his govern- | 'The Buffalo Express is of the opinion that the Union-Sun's hope that Teller will be driven to the Populists instead of to the Democrats by a sound money plank at Chicago is a vain one. The battle for the gold standard in the Democratic party is not lost by any means. 'The New York Democracy took action at Saratoga yesterday that will have a powerful influence upon the national convention. This State will send some of the ablest financiers in the country to Chicago in behalf of sound money, and no uue uvuabts that their influence will be felt for good. The electoral vote of New York is as im- portant if not as absolutely essential to Democratic success as it ever was, and the party will bend every effort towards effecting conditions which will make reasonably sure the securing of the 36 Democratic electors which will be selected after the Democratic nomina- tions are made for the Democratic nomi- nees. The postponement of the choice of electors was in no way whatever a threat, but on the other hand a distinct announcement that the Democratic party of New York would stand by the national ticket whatever might be the action of the Chicago convention with respect to the monetary question. Yet the unqualified pronouncement for the gold standard adopted by the State Convention clearly indicates to the Democrats of the entire country that a sound money platform would meet with most favor in this State and its adop- tion at Chicago would increase the, chances for Democratic success in New Yorrk. The action of the State Conven- tion was eminently wise. Mr. Teller may get little or no comfort from the money plank of the Democratic party. onn nor vicl * Gen. Platt declared in his speech last night that the Republican party knew when it had enough of a bad thing. If Mr. Matthews, Mr. Miller and Mr. Milholland could be truly styled the Republican party, Mr. Platt's proposition would not have to go further for confirmation. After a trial of seven weeks and two days Mrs. Fleming has been acquitted of the charf'e of killing her mother. Although she has been declared inno- cent of the crime of murder, the woman admittedly has other great sins to repent of. A force of friendly natives defeated a body of hostile Matabales. That was a case of wool meet wool and the do- mesticated article did not shrink from the task of wiping up the sward with the wold mop. the wild mop. nwn McKinley, like Clifford, is the favor- ite in the betting, but as soon as the presidential racers leave the post it will be just like yesterday-no possible doubt as to the result. 'The Navarre will be named at Chicago. Mr. Platt has not been officially in- formed that Boss Hanna has decided to make Cornelius 'N. Bliss chairman of the campaign advisory committee. That is surely a case of where ignor- ance is bliss. A poorly constructed building in San Franciscocollapsedyesterdayand sever- al people were killed. The trial and con-. viction of parties responsible for these disasters should promptly follow al- ways. Gentleman Jim found himself some- what groggy after his bout with the sturdy salt, Tom Sharkey.

'The state convention properly re- buked Mr. Hanlon of Orlegus for elect- ing delegates to the fall state conven- tion, which has not yet been called, at the same assembly sent delegates to the Saratoga conven- tion yesterday. 'The Orleans assembly convention which Mr. Hanlon controll- ed wasfignlled for the one purpose, namely to select delegates to the first state convention whose principal duty was to elect delegates at large to the Chicago national convention. With- out previous notice a resolution was rushed through by which delegates were also chosen for the fall state con- vention that will nominate the state ticket. Mr. Hanlon is a sturdy Demo- crtic fighter and the enemy in every struggle feels the weight of his good right arm, but in this instance he seem- ed to be over-zealous and too anxious for the fray. Democrats must avoid all appearances of snap methods, which are always incompatible with har- mony. An example has been made of the party managers in Orleans county which must prove beneficial to the en- tire party throughout the state. @ \Free coinage of silver by the United States can have no other effect than 'to change our plesent standard to one of silver-now a depreciated coin-and to retard, perhaps destroy forever the success of the movement now general throughout civilized countries for the restoration of free bi-metallic coinage in the principal mints of the world.\- Platform adopted by the Democratic state conventon at Saratoga. 'The victory of the Liberals in Can- ada may mean a closer commercial connection with our northern neigh- bor. 'The Liberals have always been friendly to the annexation sentiment in Canada.

But billions of depreciated money would not avail to improve the commercial conditions of the country. 'The best money is none too good for this great country.
