He was also seen to approach members on the democratic side, who were known for their old con- federate affiliations in the days of the rebellion. It was not until to- day that the exact nature and text of the document he was using effect- ively against Mr. Tarsuey and for Colonel Van Horn was made known, and then it was through the display by Mr. Tarsney of photographic fac similies of the original. Here it is, as typewritten upon the official let- |ter paper of the office of the United States marshal for the western dis trict of Missouri: Kareas City, Mo., Feb. 21,184. Hon, ©. F. Joy, Washington, D. C.—My Dear Sir. Your national convention, three months| jin advance of the meeting of the convention, was doae with the avow- ed purpose of influencing the party in other states and committing the national democracy to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 of gold, regardless of the relative value of the two metals and regardless of the action of the other commercial nations of the world. The above promulgation relieves all doubt as to the attitude and inten- tions of the sound money wing of the democratic party in this state and the glove has been thrown down for a fight for delegates to the national convention. They will contend for the election of delegates as hereto- fore by district. If this policy is car- ried out the state convention has one other recourse left,to instruct the delegates to the national convention to vote on all questions as a unit. Washington.

Very truly, your friend JO 0 SHELBY, USED IN VAN HORN’S INTEREST The corcluding sentence was heavily underscored. The argument used by Mr. Joy with republicans who proposed to vote for reopening and the taking of additional testi mony was briefly and accurately stated thus: “It is well enough for you to be generous toa friend. Iam person ally friendly enough to Tarsney, myself, but look at this letter. See The suggestion is a good one, but the populists of this district will not heed it. Their animosity to the democratic party is so bitter that they would rather see a gold bug, high tariff republican than support a free silver, revenue tariff democrat. They will fight DeArmond or any other free silver democrat harder and more bitter than they will the hard money republican. They did Hee GHEE Wea SS OS Mae what the democratic official in ‘l'ars- for Francis was a vote for Lewis. ney’s district says—that Van Horn See if this prediction does not prove} was eleeted beyond any question of true. doubt. Now, when a democratic federal officer says that, ought re- publicans to let a mere personal sentiment or their private theories about a case influence them? Vote against reopening, and if you can’t do that, stay away.” To the democratic ex confederates Joy used this argument: ‘You all know Jo Shelby, the most gallant cavalryman of the sonth; for partic- ulars, read John N Edwards’ book. See what he says. No doubt about Van Horu’s election. When an old ex confederate like Shelby, the fed eral United States marshal,is forced te admit it reluctantly like that.” Joy did not change a single dem ocratic vote, but yesterday's narra Iv’s Sole Achievement.

Tae outrage perpetrated by the seating of Van Horn is no longer a matter of party claim, but of direct proof. The republican majority in con gress threw out the full vote in the second ward, despite the protests of the sitting member, who insisted that he could establish the fact that he did not profit by the frauds which had been perpetrated. In the trial of May at Lexington it has been shown that the fraudulent votes were divided equally between Tarsney and Van Horn. ‘This would have left changed front or refrained from Shelby letter. tive of the republicans who either | voting tells the effectiveness of the | all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territery of the United States tesolved, That the friendly oflices of the United States should be of- fered by the president to the Span- ish government for the recognition of the independence of Cuba. The senators who voted against the resolution were: Caffery, Chilton, George, Hale, Morrill and Wetmore. When this result was announced the densely packed galleries broke into long continued applause, which the vice president checked with dif- ficulty. The result was reached after a day of fervid speeches, which at times aroused the crown of spec- tators to enthusiastic demonstrations and the keen public interest on the subject was evidenced by the presence of the largest crowd since congress assembled. The repre- sentatives of foreign powers were numerously in attendance, the oc- cupants of the diplomatic gallery including ministers Mendonca of Brazil, Hatch of Hawaii, Lazzo- |Arriage of Guatemala, Rengifo of Columbia and Baror Von Kettler of the German embassy.

Then they will have all the machinery and the country will roll in wealth and prosperity.” Major McKinley appears to be a strong favorite as a presidential pos- sibility in the republican convention. But he lacks a good deal of being out of the woods yet and there is a/ strong probability that the combine of the other aspirants will in the end force him to the rear.

The statement in this letter tuat Van Horn was elected by from 2,000 to 3,000 majority went so far beyond the most radical claims of Van Horn’s strongest supporters, who only claimed a plurality of 375 after throwing out a democratic puurality of nearly 1,209, that the most conservative republicans had no more to say. They yielded and voted to seat Van Horn. The case is ended so far as Van petrate an outrage like unseating of Tarsney and not be held responsible by the people. Missourians are sus- picious of that party at best and it is strange that a temporary victory would make it so bold. No Seed.
