CLEVELAND'S LETTER
His Statement Regarding a
Third Term. -
HE WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE
CndH No Clrcamfttances Would II Ac
cept the Nomination Dtmocrmtl -(7r;d
to Stand Firm.
Chicago. April 3. A special to the
Times-Herald, from New York, Bays :
"President Cleveland baa written a
letter, stating positively, and without
conditions, that be will not, under any
circumstances, accept a nomination for
a third term. The letter, it is said, was
written at least thre. weeks ago, and is
in the charge and care of Secretary La
mont. Plain, clear and concise, it in
nowise intimates any doubt of Demo
cratic success in the future, or diviation
or defection from Democratic principles,
as expressed by Mr. Cleveland, in the
past. It speaks of the party standing
firmly by sound money, and v declares
. against the slightest concession to silver
ism, whether at 16 to 1 or a less ratio.
It reiterates all of Mr. Cleveland's posi
tions in favor of tariff reform and for the
tariff-for-revenue-only lines."
A
Xamont denies it.

Letter.
Washington, April 3. Secretary La
mont, when asked today concerning the
published statement that he had a letter
from President Cleveland declining to be
again a candidate for the presidency,
and urging the Democratic party to
Btand for sound money and abide by its
previous position on the question, said
the statement is absolutely untrue. ' Sec
retary Lamont added: "I- have never
heard of such a let ter."
From another, and unquestionably ex
celent . source,1nformation is learned
that no such letter has been written by
the president. ' The fact that President
Cleveland has fully decided not to be a
candidate for renommation, and that
Secretary Carlisle would go bsfore the
Chicago convention as an aspirant for
the Democratic nomination, on a sound
money platform, was announced exclu
sively by the Associated Press a few
weeks ago, but the matter has not yet
gone beyond the lines then indicated. .
. . Xnatrncted for Qaaj.
( Easton, Pa., April 3. The eight con
gressional district Republican conferees
today elected General Frank Reeder and
J. M. Driesbach as delegates to the na-
tional convention. They were instruct
ed for Senator Quay for president. '
OUTLAWS IN GEORGIA.
Two More Men Killed by the Delk
Gang;. .
Atlanta, Ga., April 3. Sheriff O. W.
Gwynne, of Pike county, was killed, and
John F. Madden, a prominent citizen,
was fatally wounded at Concord, a little
mountain town in that . county, last
night,' by the notorious Delk gang of
outlaws, who have figured in the crimin
al history of Georgia for years. - Sheriff
Gwynne was shot down on the porch of
the outlaw's house while the house was
surrounded by a posse. He was lying
on the front porch begging for some one
to come and get him when Mr. John F.
Madden attempted to drag him off.. He
was also fired upon and the ball passed
through both thighs, breaking both legs.
- A crowd of enraged citizens, thirsting
for the blood of the desperado, surround
ed the house, and .while some procured
ball 8 of tow saturated in turpentine,
which were lighted and hurled at the
building, others kept up an incessant
firing from guns and revolvers to deter
the inmates from" making a dash out in
to the darkness and escaping.
The desperadoes, however, rushed
from the building shooting rapidly in

ammunition is giving out,- and he will
be captured. If taken alive he will be
lynched.

acquaintance throughout the state.
WORST NOT TEf TOLD.
Cuban Prisoner Are Subjected to Stoat
Horrible Tortorea
Cleveland, O., April 3. The stories
that .have been told concerning the- tor
tures inflicted by the Spaniards in Cuba
are more than confirmed by F. H. Tay
lor, who has just arrived in this city, af
ter a residence of three years in Havana.
In answer to inquiries' regarding the
truth of the circulated reports, he said:
"The worst has not yet been told. 'I
have known of prisoners being strung up
by the thumbs at Moro castle, and -left
for days at a time at the mercy of the
vicious flies which were attracted by
molasses smeared upon the victim's face
and . chest for . that purpose. Many
other forms of torture are practiced upon
the unfortunate captives.
"These outrages against humanity do
occur, as any citizen of Havana can tes
tify. In fact, if they would allow some
of the persecuted men in the dungeons
to testify, stories of fiendish torture could
be unearthed which would shock the
Christian world."
Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. G'utfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a splended medicine it is :
"It is with pleasure I tell you that by
one day's .use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. ; My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
alwayB starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
