of other Prominent Men.
CHICAGO, July 8 .—Some of the silver
men here manifest a disposition to resent
the announced intention of gold advocates
whoaro not delegates to the Democratic
national convention to come ‘to Chicago
with the avoWed intention of influencing
the course of proceedings. Voice was given
to this feeling by Senator Elect Money of
Mississippi, who said today: “It is an un-
heard of proceeding for men‘llko Ms. Whit-
ney and Mr. Eckels, who have no‘creden-
tials to a national convention, to attend it
with the intention of influencing the ac-
tion of delegates on a question of principle.
It is, of course, usual for ‘the friends of
candidates to exert their influence upon
delegates who believe as they do, but for
men to come here, as these men do, to
change the firms of delegates who are in-

SENATOR BLACKBURN.
structed on a line of policy is either a piece
of arrogance or a piece of folly, just as you
choose to regard it. I say to them that
either one of two constructions is to be
put upon their conduct—they either pro—
pose to buy men outright or they want to
otherwise influence delegates to break
faith with their constituents. Either pol-
icy will be resented, and I predict that the
gold advocates who come to the conven-
tion without other excuse than that: of
exerting their influence on duly elected
delegates will meet with a very cool
reception. The convention will be silver
.from core to cuticle, and the gold influ-
ence cannot be used to change its char-
acter.”
The Two-thirds Rule. »
The free silver senators and leaders met
and discussed the advisability of abrogat-
lng the two-thirds rule in accordance with
the recommendations of tho Illinois dele-
gation, and while no formal action was
taken the preponderance of sentiment
was so strongly against a change that it
looked as though it would not be attempt-
ed. Several members presented figures to
show that the change would not. be neces-
sary. Their figures, on the face of the re-
turns received, placed thq silver strength
at 598 against 332 gold delegates, but as-
surances received had led them to the con-
clusion that the silver vote would reach
610%, and they confidently believed that”
the display of so much strength would
bring the few other votes necessary to give
the required two-thirds. These figures are
independent of contests. The states which
are counted upon 'to yield the increase are
Maine, Maryland, Michigan and Florida.
The delegates adjourned to meet again
tomorrow night.
Everything In Readiness.
The arrival of Chairman Harrity and
the meeting of the executive committee of
the national Democratic committee are
the first events since the arrival of the sil-
ver men and the meeting of the Illinois .
delegates to remind people that the na-
tional convention is about to be held here.
The reports to the executive committee
indicate that the preliminary arrange-
ments in connection with the convention
hall and the supply of the necessary ad-
juncts have been about completed, and
that in these respects the preparations will
be concludecL-in ample time for the open-
ing next Tuesday.
SO far as the work of the convention it-
self is concerned, the situation is very
chaotic. But one thing has been made
clear, and that is the silver forces will be
in the majority, but whether they will be
able to assert their majority on the tem-
porary organization, whether they will
have the necessary two-thirds to nominate
candidates, andgif so whom they will ‘nomi-
natc, are questions which are still in the air
and which must depend for their solution
upon the future. The silver men who
have arrived are a unit in their determi-
nation to control the convention and to
yield to no compromise, and events, so far
as they have unfolded, indicate that if
there. is any effort to thwart them in this
matter the convention will become the
scene of some very exciting occurrences.
Senator Blackburn’s Views.
Senator Blackburn. of Kentucky, who
was very busy today, said:
“ While kdon’t suggest or approve delay
in the matter, I must say that I am utterly
opposed to any gag law or rushing. Let
I this convention be one marked by fairness.
We have nothing to lose and much to gain.
Let us give everybody at fair hearing and
then act according to our best judgment.
I think the cause of silver would be. aided
by such action, and that the cry of gag
rule and unfairness could not be raised,
no matter what the result.” b
Asked what his views were upon the
question of making Senator Hill tempo-
rary chairman, he said: “Senator Hill
would unddubtedly make a very impartial
chairman, but he is allied with the gold
forces, and it would be a roundabout way
of procedure for us to turn over to the mi-
nority of the convention its organization.
It is not to be supposed that the majority
are going to jeopardize their own work
and chances. As for Governor Altgcld, I
never understood that he was a candidate
for temporary chairman.” ,
“Then you do notbelieve that Senator
Hill will be chairman of the temporary
organization even by a conjunction of gold
votes and such silver delegates as favor
him?” -
“No. Mark this,” and the senator be-
came emphatic, using forcible gestures to
accentuate his point: “This convention is
in control of the silver men. That is a
fact beyond any question of doubt. On
every question 'the ' standings: fli'g' Edi?»
ity will be to aid their movement. Now, if
the gold men were in control, the'yuwouhi
not think of giving us contrdl of the item
porary organization. That would be do
elated foolish by them, and I don’t believr
that they will expect us to do it. Anywoy,
whether they do or not, We shall not act
in that way. A silver man .will wield the
gavel.”
“Whom have you heard mentioned?”
“Nobody, with any definiteness. I can’t
tell you. There are many candidates, and
I have not committed myself to any or
them. Jones of Arkansas would be a good
man. Now, referfing to the matter of
pushing through our plans in a hurry,
I have talked with several leaders, and we
are not all in favor of the least bit of a
hurry. Every man in the convention and
every movement should have a fair, im-
partial hearing. Then we can go before
the people with clean hands and ask their
approval. I do not agree with Governor
Altgeld that there is any jeopardy in such
a course to our cause.”
Senator Blackburn was naturally rather
coy about saying anything regarding pres.
idential candidates or their chances, as his
own constituency was booming him for
the place today.
"Free Coinage or Bust.”
Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina.
speaking of the plans of silver man today,
said: ‘3 e are .going to teach these Wall
street mossbacks a lesson. We are in the
majority in this convention, and we mean
to control it.
Mugwump coming out here telling us
what to do. I have been a political orphan
for several years, but now that the Demo-
cratic party is getting back to Democrat-
ic principles I am a Democrat again. 1
don’t feel near as lonesome as I did.
Free coinage is the true Democratic doc-
trine, and we are going to have it in this
convention or bust. We will have free coin-
age in this platform, and we will nomi-
nate a candidate whose record on the ques-
tion is a platform in itself. I don’t think
we will hear much about the tarifl. I sup-
pose we must have more revenue to keep
the government going, but we won’t say
much about the tarifl in the platform. We
are going to control this convention from
start to finish in spite of all the plots oi
the goldbugs. Why shouldn’t we do it. I’d
like to know? If they were in the major-
ity, they’d walk all over us. We have had
the buzzard and they have had the turkey
long enough. Now we have the votes, and
we are going to have the turkey, every bit
‘ of it.
The executive committee of the national
Democratic convention this afternoon de-
cided to recommend to the full committee
that they proceed in the usual way to des~
ignate a man for temporary chairman of
the national convention.

For a One Day Session.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills., July 3.—Governor
Altgeld, who returned to Springfield
from Chicago, said today that if the free
silver leaders have their way the Chicago
conveniion will be in session but one day.
The silverites intend to make a vigorous
effort to carry this idea into effect, and
that is one reason why they are so deter—
mined to have a free silver man for tempo-
rary chairman. They want a man who
will expedite business in a manner that
will meet their approval. The governor
expects to return to Chicago on Sunday
and will then remain there until after the
convention.
In conversation with a representative of
the press Governor Altgeld said that the
advance guard of silver men at Chicago
were of one mind, and that was that a
short convention was imperative for the
good of the cause. “We will have control
of the convention,” he said, “and it is, we
think, to our best interests to wind up the
convention in one day. The single stand-
ard men will, of course, fight for delay.
It is to their interest to spar for wind, as
the sporting men would say. They have
no hope of controlling the convention, but
it is their desire to procrastinate. They
want to divert the platform from a straight
16 to 1 silver basis to some sort of a mud-
dled compromise. Were we to let the con
vention remain in session several days
they might do this. Wall street and the
Standard Oil interests have an influence
that is farreaching and powerful. But
the free silver men are in the majority
and will run the convention. They will
never permit the small minority to die—
tate terms.”
The Chairmanships.
As to the position of temporary or per-
manent chairman, the governor said he did
not want either.
called clever politics,” he continued, “for
the goldbug papers to boom me for the
honor. They knew it would tend to arouse
a spirit of jealousy among the Democracy.
It would give them a chance to say I was
hogging everything and giving no one else
a chance. I don’t want to be chairman for
two reasons. A man who presides over a-
body of this kind, if he is honest and fair,
is merely a figurehead. If he were dishon-
est, he might abuse his power to the ad-
vantage or disadvantage of one side or
the other. Then it will require a good deal
of hard work to preside properly over the
convention. I think I can be of some serv-
ice to the party on the floor. My whole
desire is to see silver win. I want to see a
free silver ticket with a free silver plat-
form. For myself I want nothing.”
Governor Altgeld said he had no idea
who would be temporary or permanent
chairman, but the positions would be filled
by persons acceptable to the free silver
men.
In regard to the presidential nomination
he said he had no preference. It was too
soon as yet to fix upon a man. There were
not enough delegates in Chicago to deter-
mine upon any one. The chief object now
was to see to it that the rights of the ma—
jority were not interfered with.
Boies Men Confident. ’
DUB‘EQUE, 1a., July 3.—A large contin-
gent of Iowa Democrats will pass through '
Dubuqtle Monday morning on their way
to Chicago. Friends of tax-Governor Boles
here, while confident Of his nomination at
Chicago, are planning to have him nomi-
nated for congress should they fail at the
national convention.
but Colonel D. B. Henderson will be re-
nominated bythe Republicans at Water-
loo on the 9th inst. without opposition.
He has never been defeated in this dis-
trict, his smallest plurality being 188 in
1890, when Judge Couch, Governor Boies’
law partner, opposedhim. The silver men
claim, however, that Boles can be elected
to congress and support this claim by cit-
ing the fact that he carried the district in
1889 by 1,851 plurality, when first elected
governor. and again in 1891 by 2,345, and
a third time in 1893. Should the silver
Democrats carry out their plan as outlined
in interviews today, the congressional con-
test in the Third Iowa district Will be the
hottest ever waged here, as Boles and
Henderson are recognized as the strongest
men and most evenly matched the two
parties could name.

plank: .'
“In making this declaration we do not
ignore or underestimate the importance of
t e Damouratic doctrine that the parity of
coins made from the two metals of which
a double standard is composed should be
faithfully and honorably maintained. And
while We believe a ratio which has been
substantially continued for three quarters
of a century in the most prosperous period
of our country’s history will prove equally
efficient and equally satisfactory if rc-
adopted now, still, if, when silver and gold
are restored to absolute equality before the
law with equal rights in themnds of the
nation and as money of final ‘tedemption,
reasonable experience shall demonstrate
the parity at the ratio aforesaid cannot be
maintained, we pledge the Democracy of
Iowa to aid by every means within its
power in the establishment of a new ratio,
just to all classes of our citizens alike, by
which such parity shall be maintained.”
Q
Free Silver In Washington State.
NEW YORK, July 3,—Charles H. Baker,
receiver of the Merchants’ National bank
at Seattle, Wash, is in this city on busi-
ness connected with his trust. Mr. Baker
will attend the Chicago convention as an
alternate delegate and advocate a gold
standard. To a reporter he said:
“The financial situation in our state is
a peculiar one. The people are divided in
belief, and the free silver folks are in the
majority. The Republican state conven-
tion adopted a single gold standard plank,
which has helped the credit of our state
materially, but. the Republican party polls
only 35 per cent of our total vote, so that
the combined free silver opposition can
defeat a sound money platform in the
coming campaign. The craze with us is
due not to adesire to repudiate our indebt-
edness or to dishonor the currency, but to
a lack of thoughtful contemplation of the
subject. People who have accumulated
some measure‘of wealth and wish to keep
it at the value at which it was earned are
of course opposed to 50 cent dollars, while
those who have nothihg favor cheap
money and free silver, as the term seems
to imply relief gratis. There is, however,
more excuse for such a currency in our
state and California than in others, for the
reason that we are next door neighbors to
the silver countries China and Japan and
have a great trade with them. This fact
serves as an excuse, but not as a reason
for public sentiment on the subject. It is
dificult to understand why any one should
want a silver basis except an owner of a
silver mine not profitable to work for use
in the'arts.
“The state campaign this fall will be
waged upon local issues, and James Ham-
ilton Lewis, a popular Democrat, will
probably be elected governor against any
opposing candidate.”
Another gentleman from Washington
who is in the city declares that Mr. Baker
is a rampant goldbug, and that free silver
will prove the salvation of the people. .
Nebraska. Republican Platform.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 8.——The resolutions
which were unanimously adopted by the
Republican state convention here read as
follows:
"Chief among our standard principles is
a protective tariff that cares for every
American interest and secures the highest
good for American labor; a reciprocity
that, while seeking out the world’s mar-
kets for our surplus products, will never
yield up a single day’s wages that belongs
to the American workman; a sound dol-
lar, as sound as the government and as
untarnished as its flag; a dollar that is
good not only at home, but good wherever
the trade goes—as good in the hands of a
farmer or a workingman as in the hands
of a. capitalist, a manufacturer or a cor-
poration. .
“The Republicans of Nebraska most
heartily indorse the nomination of their
first choice, William McKinley of Ohio, for
president and Garret Hobart of New Jer-
sey for vice president and pledge them
their enthusiastic and undivided support. ”
Pennoyer People‘s Plans.
PORTLAND, 012, July 3.——Tho name of
cox-Governor Sylvester Pennoycr may be
presented to the Chicago convention for
nomination for president, though such a.
step has not yet been definitely‘decided
upon. The delegation from Oregon has
left for the convention city. The delega-
tion is divided at present, and unless the
ex-governor can secure the solid delegation
from his own state it is probable his name
will not be presented. "For the last four
years Pennoyer has allied himself with
the Populists, but it is believed that he
would accept a nomination at the hands of
the Democrats on a free silver platform.

Queen from the north. They are L. L.

Carroll and R. F. Lewis. They are in-
clined to be noncommitta], but are said to
be for the gold standard. L. L. Williams,

lleved the remainder of the delegation
would do so.

Sisyphus
was the anci-
ent hero con—
demned by the
gods to push 'a big
boulder up-hill
forever, lest it should-
roll down and crush
him. .When the myth-mak-
ers got up that story they
must have been thinking of
dyspepsia; for there is certainly no other
trouble on earth that keeps you so ever-
lastingly struggling against being crushed
into utter despair. Anything that cures
dyspepsia lifts about half the weight of
misery that crushes mankind,-—and wo-
mankind.
The trouble with most of the so-called
dyspepsia-cures, is that they don’t cure.
They give only temporary relief. Indiges-
tion usually extends all through the d1ges«
tive tract, from the stomach clear down to
the large intestine ; the liver too is frequent-
ly involved “a the trouble being torpxd and
inactive. or a thorough, radical, per-
manent cure you must have the whole di-
gestive organism set right—Not violently
stirred up, but regulated. Doctor Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets will do it. They stimu-
late the digestive juices of the stomach;
invigorate the liver and help it to actively
secrete the bile; and act gently on the
bowels to promote a regular healthy move-
ment. This means a. complete and last-
ing cure of digestive troubles.
The “ Pellets ” are not a severe cathartic.
They act on the bowels naturally and com-
fortably though surely. The dose can be
regulated to your needsz and when the
“ Pellets ” have done their work they can
be discontinued. You don’t become a
slave to their use, as with other pills. If
the druggist suggest some griping pill that
gives him more profit, think-what! will
