YORKVILLE, S: O., SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1896. NUMBER 66. TO WfOUHW BY W. W. Copyright, 1886, by the Author. . CHAPTER V. Oochrane's inspection of the problem was of long duration. At length he leaned back as though satisfied he could read nothing more from Mr. Powell's memoranda and gave vent to a long drawn sigh. "Why under the sun wasn't the man considerate enough to designate which railroad he intended to take?" Here he picked up the paper. ' 'He starts wwm onmAwherp at 0:30?evidently in the morning, for at 12:25 there is a stop for dinner. At 8:19 I think he changes cars, and at 7:40 he must have his supper. At 11:30 he makes a stop?wonder whether that is the same night or the next day? Deuce take it! Didn't the man know the meaning of a. m. and p. m. ? I believe he stays there the remainder of the night, and that's the reason of that mark through the column. Then he Starts out at 4:30, which may be the next morning or the next afternoon, and at 6:20 he changes again. At 8:49 he reaches the end of his journey, but he doesn't leave as much as a dot to indicate where that is." Then Cochrane 'thought it all over again, refilled his pipe, walked around his narrow room several times and sat down to talk it over with himself. "Here's a castaway about whose early life no one knows anything?a rich, clamlike, cold hearted old bachelor, who is so devoted to the pursuit of money that he has to use the time when he is getting shaved for rest and sleep. One day, just as he 'was dropping off into his usual nap, a chance remark by another customer turn his thoughts to his old home and he dreams of his childhood. Of what else I have no idea, but whatever it was it changed him as completely as though he had had a dangerous sickness. The next morning ne nuns philanthropist, doubles his clerk's salary, advises him to marry the girl he loves, makes them a munificent wedding present, draws up a power of attorney and puts all his business into the hands of his clerk. Then he takes a supply of ready money and goes back to where there was once a father and mother, toothers and sisters?possibly a sweetheart But why doesn't he return to look after his business and his property? Why hasn't he written or telegraphed? Why has he left this poor Kendall in the lurch, to become suspected of forgery, abduction, murder and everything else? "Oh, well, the only thing to do is to follow him and find out, but with scores of railroads and thousands of railroad connections, and with only a faint clew to lead me to believe that he once lived off west of here somewhere on a road over which years ago cattle were driven to the eastern markets in droves, I shall have a very interesting little chase." Then Cochrane went out and searched among bookstalls till he found and purchased a year old railroad guide, which he brought back to his room for study. It was nearly noon when1 he reached the Powell offices the next day, for he had spent most of the night in pouring over maps and time cards. During a Cochrane turned suddenly and caught both of Kendall's hands. long consultation with Kendall he explained the theory he had formed as to Powell's disappearance: "i Know tne cnances appear slim ior the discovery of the man whose disappearance has placed yon in such an unenviable situation. My theory may be entirely wrong. He may have become suddenly insane and long before this filled a nameless grave or a cell in an asylum. In his past life there may have been a crime, and from some circumstances we cannot discover he may have been fearful of detection, which he fled, no one knows where, to escape. Again, it is possible he intended a few weeks' rest- in ihe country, and before he had time to apprise you of his whereabouts robbery and murder may have been committed. "If you have enough confidence in my theory to advance the small amount necessary to pay my way while following it out, I shall do my utmost to accomplish what I have undertaken. Success means as much to me as it does to Tl^o ti'Knln fnfnro tttr li"Po fttul the happiness of one who is very dear to me depend upan some effort that will lift me out of this accursed poverty that binds one's hands and stifles one's abilities, robs him of manhood and makes him hate the world! Failure!"?and he smiled, oh, so sadly?"failure! My God, Kendall, failure means death to both of us! I have faced failure so long that I can never brave it again. You are so encompassed by suspicion that you will be driven to escape it by sui S W i DREMi CAN FIELD. cide unless it can be silenced by-proof that cannot be controverted." Cochrane paced the floor rapidly, his form trembling with the emotion caused Kw V>io +V><->nrrVifo TTo ViaH Vippn randprftd desperate by his inability to secure either business or employment and was almost unnerved as he contemplated another failure. Kendall was deeply touched by this exhibition of despair. Cochrane's words were the echoes of his own thoughts. He knew what a failure meant. "I have no hesitancy, Cochrane, in advancing the sum you need for your proposed trip," he said. "The money will be ready for you in half an hour." Cochrane turned suddenly and caught both of Kendall's hands, shaking them with all the enthusiasm of a schoolboy. "Kendall, if I don't find Charles Powell or his grave, you will never meet me again. I will leave the city in the morning at 9:80." CHAPTER VL It is October. Nearly four months have dragged along since Cochrane started on his search. He has not been successful, and hope that he will be has died in the hearts of the two anxious ones in New York. Frequent letters ' * J Ua nave neeu reueiveu uciaiuug u? ress. He has been constantly traveling, searching, groping for the key to unlock the secret of Powell's journey. "I am confident," he wrote in one letter, "that Powell carried a part of his time table in his head. Possibly a day, or even two, may have intervened where he drew the line through the column. I have studied out several other combinations and shall continue to follow them as long as I have strength enough to do so. I am not yet discouraged, but distressingly puzzled." In a letter a few weeks later he wrote: "I have less hope tonight than at any time since 1 left you, and it is only by the exercise of every particle of will rower I possess that I am kept from go ing to bed and sending for a doctor." Still later he wrote: "I have spent an entire week here in fruitless search. Twice I picked up what I believed might be clews worth following, but after running them to the ground I am disappointed again and can only write you of failure and heaviness of heart Yesterday I drove and walked nearly 60 miles over some of the most horrible roads I ever saw. I leave here in the morning."' Early in September he had written again. It was evident that he was almost hopeless, and Kendall read his words with a sinking heart Cochrane did not wholly give up, however, for in the last few lines he said he would go to Pittsburg and try a steamer route down the river from that point "If this fails," he wrote, "my resources will have been exhausted, and I shall be compelled to admit that I can do nothing more. God only knows what will happen to me when I stand face to face with another failure. " Since that time Kendall had heard nothing from him. The days dragged wearily along and hope sank with each as twiiignt xaueu uiuu evening. xmji ? time Kendall avoided his wife's inquiries and tried to put her. off by declaring that he was saving up good news as a surprise for her, but she saw him grow daily more nervous and apprehensive, and finally, in response to pleading, he confided to her his gravest fears. At this time he has become but a shadow of his former self. His eyes' dark and hollow, his face pale and drawn, his form bent and shrinking, his step unsteady and hesitating, his hands cold, clammy and clinched. He starts suddenly when spoken to, he is abstracted and wandering in his talk, he can set himself at no task at which he can remain, he can sleep but little, and walks bis bedroom at night with head bent forward listening, ever listening for news of the missing. And no wonder. Honest John Kendall, in whom ttiere is not the faintest trace of deceit, guile, dishonesty, cruelty or wrong, who would sooner submit to death itself than become the possessor of a dollar dishonestly secured, is the suspected murderer of his employer. The terrible strain begins to tell upon him as hope of success by Cochrane dies out. Men shake their heads and say: "I told you so! He's breaking down, and some of these days you'll read in the papers of his collapse and confes sion. The detectives are watching him * 1? TT 11 very cioseiy nuw. nuw wcu i>uej vc planned it all! They let him take his own way ancl made him believe they had no suspicion whatever. They'll have him yet, and mucli good the handling of poor Powell's thousands will do him then." But Kendall is not unaware of this. He sees it in their faces, hears it in their voices, feels it in their presence, knows it by the way they act. His home is watched, he is watched at the office, he is followed in the street. He is a suspect, against whom nothing can be proved, but who cannot prove his innocence. Last night ho walked the floor till daylight saw him stagger and fall upon a couch, where scarcely an hour passed in fitful slumber. His tearful, anxious wife came to him, as she had many times before, and put her arms about his neck and tried to whisper words of encouragement. ' * My poor, dear boy,'' she said, "this cannot last always. Good news must coma God will not permr you to be so falsely accused." He shook his head sadly. "No, no Anna, dear; there is no hopa" An< then he gently unclasped her arms an< continued his ceaseless tread. "But, John, dear," she pleaded, "yoi must rest, or you will kill yoursell" "Would to God I might die a thou land deaths, each one as full of agony a was the death of him on the cross, if ty so doing I could cleai my name of thi crushing, stifling suspicion, which make ??

SENATOR TILMAN OSES HIS PITCHFORK Up to the Hour The Enquirer Wen to Press There Was a Strong Peeling for Bryan ; but Was Still Any Man's Race. The Democratic convention whicl convened in Chicago last Tuesday is in many respects, the most remarkabh political gathering that has assemt?le( in the history of the country. Thi only previous convention to which i can be properly compared is that o 1860. The principal difference is tha in 1860 but few knew beforehand wha they expected to do, while of thoa who assembled at Chicago last Tues day, there was not a man who no ? v? 1 ?? AKAIIA T/\M kn ODiy KLltJW WUHl UO WOO IUCID 1U1 , uu also knew what be expected to accom plish. It is within the province of the na tional executive committee to arrangi for the organization of the nations convention. As it happened, the na tional committee, wfis, by a smal majority, in favor of gold, and fo: some reason, although it was knowi that the silver delegates were in at overwhelming majority, it'was decidet in the committee by a vote of 27 to 21 to name Senator Hill, a gold man, foi temporary chairman. The silver met would hear to nothing of the kind, anc the minority on the committee presen ted the name of Senator John W Daniel, of Virginia. When the name of Hill was presentee to the convention, it was received witl cheering that lasted fully two minutes Then the name of Daniel was presen ted, and there was another outburs of enthusiasm. When the cheering subsided speech making commenced Several gold men spoke for the ma jority report. They plead among oth er things that Senator Hill be electee temporary chairman and Senator Dan iel be elected permanent chairman claiming that they only wanted tb< convention to listen to Senator Hill'i speech from the chair. One speakei said that if the convention should re fuse to listen to Senator Hill from tlx chair, it would have to hear him fron the floor, and his speech would go t( the country anyway. There wen cheers and hisses; but the silver men remained firm, and when the ques tion came to a vote as to whether Hil or Daniel should be temporary chair man, it was decided by selecting Dan iel, 556 to 349. Senator Daniel took the chair amic the most enthusiastic applause and be gan his speech commending Chairman Harrity for his fairness as a presiding officer. The commendation was en thusiastically cheered by gold and sil verites alike. Senator Daniel then de livered one of the most eloquent ora tioDS that has ever been heard in t national convention. The burden o his speech was to the effect that thii is the grandest and most powerfu country on the face of the earth, anc being able to do anything it will, anc among other things, adopt a flnancia system of its own. It has whippec Great Britain once in war, and now ii ic rondv fcn declare financial indeDen dence. The people of this country hac already been fooled more than once bj confusing straddles on the financia question, and now they demand t straightforward platform that will ad mit of no mistake as to its meaning He closed by announcing that the na tional convention was now in session and would proceed to the business o organization. There were calls for Hill ; but the New York senator did not seem to fee! that there was any special reason whj he should have anything to say anc remained quietly in his seat. After the appointment of the various committees, the conventiou, at 4.45 p m., Tuesday, adjourned to meet agair on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock The convention was rather slow about getting together again on Wed nesday on account of numerous cau cuses, and when it did get togethei the committee on credentials was noi ready to report. It was not until late in the afternoon that any business was transacted. Most of the day was taker up in speechmaking by prominent sil verites. The only important contest were from Michigan and Nebraska. It will be remembered that sometime ago J Sterling Morton had a gold delegatior elected from Nebraska by a snap con vention. The regular delegation, wit! W. J. Bryan at its head, came anc asked for admission. The committee on credentials were not long in decid ing that the Bryan delegation was en titled to seats. The investigation o; the Michigan case consumed more time Don M. Dickinson had managed tc scrape up a gold delegation from this state. The contest, however, was fi c nally decided in favor of the silver p< pie and this gave the silverites t ? necessary two-thirds majority in t 1 Convention. 1 The committee on platform did i get its report ready to submit to I 1 convention on Wednesday ; but ga it out to the papers on Wednesd night as follows : ? THE PLATFORM. 3 We, the Democrats of the Unit B States, in national convention asse p bled, do reaffiirm our allegiance. those great essential principles of ji tice and liberty upon which our ins tutions are founded, and which t Democratic party has advocated fr< t since Jefferson's time to our ow freedom of speech, freedom of t press, freedom of conscience, the p ' servation of personal rights, t equality of all citizens before the la and the faithful observance pf corn tutional limitations. During all tbesp years the Democri ic party has resisted the tendeucy selfish interests to the centralizati of government power, and steadfast maintains the integrity of the di i scheme pf government established the founders of this republic of repi 3 lies. Under its guidance and teachic 1 the great principle of local self-govei e ment has found its best expression t the maintenance of the rights of t f states and in its assertion of the neci t sity of confining the general govei t ment to the exercise of the powi b granted by the constitution of t - United States. t The constitution of the Unit t States guarantees to every citizen t rightq pf ciyil and religious liberl The Democratic party has always be the exponent of political liberty ai b religious freedom, and it renews 1 obligations and reaffirms its devotii f/? fnn^omflnfol nrincinlpu nf t W IIUV?JU 1UUUUU4VU VM? v.

We demand that t - standard silver dollar shall-be a fi - legal tender, equally with gold, for i i debts, public and private, and we fav f such legislation as win prevent i i the future the demonetization of a: 1 kind of legal tender money by privs 1 contract. 1 We are opposed to the policy ai 1 practice of surrendering to the holde I of the obligations of the United Stat t the option reserved by law to t . government of redeeming such oblig I tions in either silver or gold coin, r We are opposed to the issuing of i 1 terest bearing bonds of the Unit i States in time of peace, and conden - the trafficing with banking syndicat . which, in exchange for bonds and . an enormous profit to themselves, su i ply the Federal treasury with gold f maintain the policy of gold mono-mi allism. 5 Congress alone has the power to co 1 and issue money and President Jac r son declared that their power could n I be delegated to corporations or indivi uals. We therefore denounce the i ^ -1- 1 A. ? 1 _ i suance oi notes- intended to circuia . as money by the national banks i in derogation of the constituion, ai . we demand that all paper which r made a legal tender for public ai private debts or which is receivat for dues to the United States shall issued by the government of the Ui ; ted States and shall be redeemable s coin." j We hold that tariff duties should ? levied for the purpose of revenue, sin duties to be so adjusted as to opera equally throughout the country ai ) not discriminate between class or se I tion, and that taxation should be lint . ted by the needs of the governmer i honestly and economically admini tered. We denounce as disturbing i business the Republican threats to r 1 store the McKinley law, which h s twice been condemned by the peop in national elections, and which, enac ed under the false plea of protection f home industries, proved a prolii . breeder of trusts and monopolies, e > riched the few at the expense of tl j many, restricted trade and deprive the producers of the great Americi so- staples of access to their natural mark- tl -he ets. Until the money question is set- e -he tied we are opposed to any agitation a for further changes in our tariff laws lot except such as are necessary to meet li ;he the deficit in revenue caused by the ad- c .ve verse decision of the supreme court on a lay the income tax. But for this decis- g ion by the supreme court, there would fi be no deficit in the revenue under the g ;ed lftvv P888^ by a Democratic congress e m_ in strict pursuance of the uniform de- d t0 cisions of that court for neaVly 100 as. years, that court having in that decis- f< ltj_ ion sustained constitutional objections a ije to its enactment which had- previously p 3m been overruled by the ablest judges si Viuva Avpr ut on the heneh.

The convention was called to order n Thursday moraine by Steven El fhite of California, who had been lected permanent chairman on Wed? esday, and the first business to come p was the report of the committee on latform. The platform was reported i above. Theje was a minority report signed y the committee from 16 eastern ates, dissenting from the financial lank as reported by the majority and eclaring for the maintainanoe of the risting gold standard until there lould be an international agreement >r the maintainance of the parity beveen silver and gold. Senator Hill offered an amendment > the platform in which he sought to ledge the party to do nothing to af:ct the status of existing contracts 3d to promise that in the event that it should develop after a year of ractice that the parity between gold sd silver is not maintained, the free >inage law roust be repealed. Senator Tillman offered an amend>ent to the platform denouncing the iministration of President Cleveland, sd repudiating the construction that [r. Cleveland bad put upon the fin anal plank, etc. . Senator Tillman spoke to his amendicnt for 50 minutes. At the outset 9 was greeted with cheers. A little ,ter there were hisses, and turning om the point whence they came, he tid that there were only three things tat hissed?snakes, serpents and men. ater in his speech the audience bein to call time and the bands broke i with music. Before copcludingj enator Tillman pictured the condion of the people of the south and -1 a1 iL - est as compared who loose ui iu? jrth, and said that the Democratic irty was at Chicago to make a new sclaration of independence. His >eech was a magnificent effort; but om the press reports, which may be isleading, it does not appear to have jen well received. After several members of the comittee on resolutions had spoken for te platform, Senator Hill got the 3or in support of his amendment, is appearance on his feet was the gnal for a wild outburst of applause om the gold people. The applause as kept up for several minutes. Mr. !ill spoke about the disposition of the lverites to drive the eastern men out ' the party and make room for Renblicans, Populists and Whigs who ive never voted the Democratic cket in their lives. He said that free >inage in the platform was all that le eastern people could reasonably be f/v Kaa** roifViAiif. nnf.Hnty on pcuicu llU UCU1 J niuuvuv v.. leir shoulders other revolutionary mdencies that are citied in this plat rm. Hill was followed by several other >eakers and then came W. J. Bryan, Nebraska. He was met with an /ation and made one of the most rearkable speeches in his life. He irried the convention with him most impletely, and at the conclusion of s remarks, all previous convention jmonstrations were eclipsed. The leering lasted for fully a quarter of 1 hour. Even the gold men from the tst joined in, not on account'of symithy for the cause, but for admiration the man. Senator Hill's proposed substitute as voted down, 626 to 303. A resolution, endorsing the adminoration was defeated 564 to 357. The platform was adopted, 628 to II.
