William Pleasant, colored, twenty years old, was measured at police headquarters this morning and was afterward photo- graphed for the gallery. This was done be- cause Policeman William Marr of the coun- ty squad had arrested him on a charge of highway robbery, and he had been fully identified by his alleged victim. The prison- er 1s a resident of the village of Garfield, and up to the time of his arrest last night he had no police record. Mr. Albert Grounsell, his alleged victim, caused his arrest and fully identified him. Mr. Grounsell is the man who was “held up” and robbed of 15 cents, a pair of spec- tacles and a penknife on Branch avenue Saturday afternoon. Mr. Grounsell lives on the Marlboro’ pike near Suitland, and last Saturday he did some work at Takoma. In the afternoon he started home, and between 5:30 and 6 o'clock he was met by a colored highwayman on Branch avenue. His horse was walking slowly at the time, and he was taking lite easy, with his legs crossed and smoking a pipe. Stopping the animal, the colored man pointing @ pistol at Mr. Grounsell’s sto- mach, said: ‘Got any money?” “Only a little,” was the response of the occupant of the vehicle. “Give it to me, then,” the highwayman sald, and the money, 15 cents, was handed over. Then the colored man put his hand in the farmer’s pocket and took the knife and spectacles. “Now drive off quick,” the colored man commanded, and his command was obeyed. Last night Mr.» Grounsell was driving along the road near Good Hope Hill, and some distance in front of him was William Pleasant, whose slouch hat was drawn over his face, apparently to conceal his identity. Calling the policeman, he said he belleved the colored footman was the man who had held him up on the road Saturday. He answered the description he had given of the highwayman, and the officer made the arrest and took the prisoner under a gas lamp. Then he fully identified him, and this morning, when he saw him tn the day- ght, he was even more fully convinced that he was right In the matter of identif- cation, and therefore the warrant charging the serious offense was issued. Judge Kimbalj heard the eviderce in the case, Mr. Grounsell repeating under oath his complete identification of the prisoner. Policeman Marr told of the circumstances under which the arrest was made, and said that Mr. Grounsell had given a complete and perfect description of the defendant before he was arrested. The ccurt sent the case to the jury and fixed the bond at $1,000, was not given, ——— Had a Mix-Up. John J. Grantley, a printer who had been visiting places where he could get intoxi- cants, was considerably under the influ- ence of liquor yesterday when he met Chas. B. Naylor of 456 M street. The printer was just intoxicated enough to imagine himself funny, and one way he had of amusing him- self was to draw a pistol on Mr. Naylor and point it at him. Mr. Naylor was on a 9th street car earlier in the evening and had seen Grantley. The second meeting Was at the corner of 7th and N streets, and then it was that the pistol was drawn. Not seeing a policeman, Mr. Naylor followed the man and finally placed him under ar- rest. Grantley resisted, and when Police- man Frank Auldridge answered a distress call he found the two men on the sidewalk engaged in a struggle. The weapon was not loaded, but this fact did not prevent the charge being sustained, for Judge Kimball who heard the case imposed a sentence of ninety days in jail. Lawyer Closs gave no- tice of @ motion for a new trial, grand which THE BLUE AND GRAY Notable Reunion of the Veterans Who Wore Them Both.

MR. TUNNELL ACCEPTS. He Will Run Again for the Governor- ship of Delaware. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WILMINGTON, Del., September 8, 1896. Since the democratic state coaventicn at Dever en August 18, the impression has rrevailed that Ebe W. Tunnell, who was nominated for governor by the convention, would not accept the nomination. Mr. Tun- nell was not a candidate for the nomina- tion; in fact, he did not allow his name to be vsed in connection with it until the convention was ready to assemble. The result of his eleventh-hour candidacy for the nomination was fully described The Star on the day of the convention. The demcerats of Wilmington and New Castle county, who favored the nomination of Peter J. Ford, on the ground that New Castle county wes rightfuliy enutied to the gubernatorial candidate this year, re- fused to indorse Tunnell’s nomination in the convention. They claimed that he had positively assured Mr. Ford that he was not a candidate; that he could not allow his name to be offered in the conventicn in connection wiih the nomination, and that if the conveniion nominated him, despite his wishes, he would decline to accept the nomination. At the Eleventh Hour. Therefore when at the eleventh hour his name was presented to the convention and the assurance given by ex-Congressman EB. L. Martin of Sussex county that Mr. Tun- nell would accept if nominated, the dele- gates from Wiimingion and New Castle became wild from rage, and stampeded the convention. It was argued by the latter at the time that Mr. Ford was defeated on religious grounds, and they took their arguments home with them and vented their rage and their opposition to Tunnell in public meet- ings in this city. Mr. Tunnell was the candidate of his party for governor in 1894, and was de- feated by Joshua H. Marvil, republican. The latter's majority did not exceed 1,200, In 1894 few democrats cut Tunnell, and Marvil’s victory was accounted for by rea- son of the success of the republicans in their efforts to bring out an unusuflly large colored vote in the iower counties. Mr. Turnell’s defeat greatly discouraged his friends in Wilmington. While anxious to meke him their standard bearer again the latter did not regard his second successive nomination with much favor, even with a united democracy tn the state, and with a hopeless division tn the republican ranks. And more emphatically did they object to his second nomination when they realized that it would cause a division in the party on the state ticket, for it became plainly evident after the state convention last morth that the defeat of Ford would mean a loss of four thousand votes to the dem- ccratic state ticket in Wilmington and New Castle. With such a situation as this staring them tn the face these democrats were loath to believe that Mr. Tunnell would accept the nomir.ation and thereby de- liberately sacrifice himself again on the republican altar in November, and a few days ago their apprehensions were partly satisfied through a report that Mr. Tun- nell had decided to decline the nomina- tion in order to promote harmony in the party for the sake of victory for the state ticket. This report could not be verified, and for more than a week Mr. Tunnell’s position has been shrouded in doubt. Mr. Tunnell’s Acceptance. Today, however, the veil was fted. At a meeting of the democratic state central committee held ih Dover the following let- ter from Mr. Tunnell was read: “LEWES, Del., September 5, 1896. “Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your letter of August 28, notifying me of my nomina- tion as the democratic candidate for gov- ernor of the state of Delaware, to be voted for at the election to be held on the 3d day of next November. I am keenly sen- sible of the honor conferred and the obliga- tion imposed upon me by this action of the accredited representatives of the demo- cratic party of Delaware choosing me for the second time to be their candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people of this state. “As a life-long member of the democratic party and believing it to be the safest custodian of the honor and welfare of the people of the state, I hereby accept the nomination tendered me, regarding it as acall of duty which should be obeyed with- out regard to my personal preferences or my own sense of unworthiness. From this time on I shall devote my energies to the discharge of the duties imposed upon me by this call of my party, and if elected will endeavor to the extent of my ability to serve the best Interest of the people of the state, fully appreciating the peculiar dif- ficulties and responsibilities resting upon the governor of Delaware. “Yours respectfully, “Gigned) EBE W. TUNNELL.” EFFECT OF FREE SILVER A Denial From the London Financial News of a Paragraph Attributed to It. Chairman Babcock Has Received News of Democratic Defect! in Wiscon: The republican congressional committee is in receipt of an authoritative denial of a campaign assertion which has been used, it is claimed, by the democrats throughout the United States. Several weeks ago the press of this country extensively printed What purported to be an extract from an editorial in the Financial News of London, England. The editorial said, in parg; “The condition of affairs in the United States Congress demands the immediate at- tention of British financiers and statesmen, ‘The trade of the world is now in our hands, but it will not long remain there if the United States goes to a bimetallic basis with free and unlimited coinage of silver. “With the addition of silver to the volume of money everything in America would take on a new face. Labor and industry would gain new life. The grip of the gold stand- ard on the products of the world would be loosened and prices would rise. Great Isritain would lose her markets in South America, Asia and even Europe, and the American bottoms would not be long in capturing the carrying trade of the world.” ‘The republican congressional committee has received a marked copy of the F cial News of London of August 13, 189 which the following editorial leads the editorial page: “We have received numerous letters from American correspondents, containing what purport to be editorials from the Financial News, and which have been reprinted in various western papers as campaign litera- ture. One Omaha paper prints an article stating that it is from the London Finan- 1 News of March 10. No such article was ever printed by us, and its whole tenor i directly opposed to the view we have tak of the effect of free silver in the Unit States. So far from advocating free silver coinage we have persistently pointed out that it spells repudiation and the with- drawal of all European capital.” Democratic Defection in Wisconsin, The republican congressional committee received advices of numerous democratic defections in Wisconsin, the most promi- nent of which was in Dodge county, the home of the commissioner of the general land office, Mr. Lamoreaux. The town of Rubicon in that county has been canvess- ed, and a McKinley and Hobart Club or- ganized with a merabership of 360, In 1svz the total republican vote of this township was but 82. The population of the towa of Rubicon is principally German-American. A copy has also been received of the le ter of Mr. John Morris, the democratic ex- home district attorney of Mr. Babcock’ county, Juneau, renouncing the convention and its nominees, and his support to McKinley. In Mr. published letter he say “During this campaign, at least, I shail vote and work as hard as I am able to for the election of Maj. McKinley and the us- cendency of the republican party to power, with full and complete control of our na- tional affairs Advices have also been received of the defection of Mr. Giles Stevens, a leading democratic attorney of Sauk county, consin, who, in a letter to Chairman Peck of the democratic state central committee, renounces, in unqualified terms, the p form and the nom hicago con- vention. Mr. Stevens says: “I spent three years, from 1861 to 1864, fighting that spirit of anarchy, and am not yet prepared to admit that in so doing 1 Was in the wrong. The adoption of the sil- ver standard would, in my opinion, be a dis- aster to the nation but little short of that of the rebellion of thirty-five years ago, so far as financial prosperity is concerned.” If it be trie, as intimated in the printed docu- ment accompanying your circuiar (Chair- man Peck’s circular to democrats, urging them to support the ticket), and purport- ing to express your personal views, that the Chicago platform was only made to catch votes, and is not to be regarded zs a pledge to be redeemed in case its candi- dates are elected, then all I have to say is that such a party is too dishonest to be en- Utled to the confidence of anybod. Both Mr. Stevens and Mr. Morris are prominent in democratic circles, and have both been leaders locally in their party. A Great Year for Badges. Chairman Babcock has in his possession @ number of metallic badges used in the Lincoln campaign of 1860. One of them has a@ figure in relief of a man splitting rails in front of a log cabin, and the de- vice on the badge reads: “The Rail Splitter of the West.” Another badge is stamped with the words “Millions for freedom, not one cent for slavery.” Another one refers to the republican candidate as “Honest Abe of the West.” “That was the greatest year for badges I ever saw,” said Col. Casson at headquar- ters today. “I remember the vast number were circulated and worn, especially the old ‘Wide Awake’ badge. Even the boys joined the Wide Awakes, and all the youngsters of my neighborhood were in the organization.” —____-+e.______ SPEAKER REED ON SILVER. Morris’ Objects to Assisting ‘the Western Miner to His Own Disadvantage. Thomas B. Reed, Herbert M. Heath of Augusta, Me., and Frank S. Black, the re- publican nominee for governor of New York, spoke before a crowd of fully 3,500 persons at the republican ratification at Limerick, Me., yesterday. Prior to the speaking there were several flag =aisings. Mr. Reed was introduced amid great ap- se. He said in substance: If there is any place in this world where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, it is not in the poli- tics of the United States. I never yet saw a campaign where I begrudged the time spent in discussion as much as this. “No shepherd will read a book on sheep husbandry when a wolf has broken into the fold, until the wolf has been expelled. I believe in party lines. They give stabili to the government. During this campaign it is one’s duty to break party lines, yet there is no reason why a man should not return to his party later. The democrat who comes into our ranks won't find an angelic company, for ali republican not yet capable of joming the church. “I often hear it said ‘we ought to discuss the tarifl.’ I would rather do so at the pres- ent time, but we cannot until the great financial question is disposed of.” The speaker then discussed in a general way the tariff and the result of an insutfti- cient revenue. Continuing, he said: “Over twenty years ago the mills were all giving employinent to the laboring peo- ple. We thought that we could keep on in our prosperity, and we had a change. We have the change now. They tell us that the remedy is the free coinage of silver. We ask them ‘what is your reason for wanting it?” “Have they given us any reason for wanting it? No; they lose themselves in the intricacies of tne currency question. “The object of the currency is to facill- tate the exchange of that which we have for that which we want. The coin that does that does your work, and no coin can do more than that. I object to assist the western miner to our own disadvanta; ‘The western people deserve to be weil treat- ed, and we have well treated them by bu: ing $64,000,000 in silver that ts today worth one-half less than what it was when we bought it. “They tell us of the crime of °73, how sil- ver was secretly demonetized when the people had free access to the Congressional Globe. They speak of its being done se- cretly in such a manner that it reminds re of stealing upon a person during the dark- ness with a stiletto. No one paid any at- tention to this at the time. They call it up today because they want to use it. “In 1817 we voted to buy a_certain amount of silver each month. We were told that the demand would increase the value of the silver. If the purchase of a small amount of silver has sent the prices down, what will be the result when silver is purchased in larger quantities? “What do we, as laboring people, want? Every laboring man, whether he works with his hands or with his brain, wants a chance to sell what he produces. The dif- ferent labor organizations are a necessary outgrowth of the factory system, and are what the laboring man needs.” ————+e+- The announcement was made of the fail- ure of Foote & Knevals, heavy importers of sugar, spices, coffee and teas, of ‘) Wall street, yesterday, in New York.
