i ii.,i rays were hiddon by masses of
-ilvercioinis during the early morning
Ej )10 f in to furnish a cause for do-
-fo-siou among the gold Democrats as
sembled here.
Perhaps the reflected
s the unique golden stars in the
’ lIlV American flags about the hotel
lobbies furnished sufficient of tlio needed
yellow light to tone the early morning
; „ At any rate the few hours of the
morning- preceding the assembling of
gold Democrats’ convention was
inurked by scenes that placed it more
„m,n the p ane of other great national
e'nv nfions than it has seemed to hold
during the past tew days.
Ir was a bright, brisk morning that
greeted the delegates when they arose
early. True, tlio Sun was not pouting
lij S r; 'iys into the city streers but Che few
v ,hi*"Clouds, with no suggestion of rain
in them, that obscured liis royal vision,
showed evidence of breaking away for a
beautiful day and meanwhile tempered
the atmosphere to a co lucss that was
pleasant and reviving. Tlio city streets
cmToniiding the hotels that hau been
made headquarters were gay with bunt-
and Hags, and while the local com-
m n t ce did not think them quite lavish
rnougli, the average delegate seemed
; The hotel corridors early presented an
r’liuu’.tcd appearance and, contrary to
; Y t a tioas, there were many ani-
| mtc; ! discussions aroused, not pertain-
iar to the selection of candidates or the
adoption of platform, but arguments
,vjtii the silver Democrats, who chose to
f ;ilior ask or volunteer information.
John DsYvitt Warner of New York
ami ex-Congressman Charles D. Haines
ofKiudeiliook, N. Y., were foremost
among the gold chain ions and vigor
ously proclaimed their faith. Haines,
who is said ro he a lieutenant and very
close to Senators Hill and Murphy of
Now York, not only made arguments
;:i the hotel corridors, but went out into
the street and obt iued respectful hear
ing from about 400 people. Other ora
tors, whoso names could not he learned,
started discussions in various parts of
the hotel corridors aud all were snr-
i,mailed by eager aud curious groups of
wisdom seekers.
lir.Ks Hands Enliven Matters.
The arrival of delegates from nearby
ami far western states added to the gen
eral confusion, aud the bauds kept up a
merry round of enlivening music. There
was a general lack of noisy demonstra
tion. although there were plaudits and
sometimes jeers from the crowds that
surrounded the lobby orators.
Undoubtedly this was due to the fact,
perfectly apparent, that the delegates as
a body, is composed of a higher class of
men than generally forms the tile of a
national convention. In every delega
tion this was apparent. Bankers, mer
chants, reformers in American politics,
some men who had never before taken
part in a national convention, lawyers
and railroad men aud few if any pro
fessional politicians, formed the great
mass of delegates. They were as a
whole inclined towards calm discussion
and demeaned themselves very quietly.
It was this latter attitude probably that
brought the stamp of dignity upon the
delegates even before they assembled in
convention and prevented in the streets
and hotel corridors and places of the as
sembling of the crowd the lively scenes
that marked the last two national con-
ventions.
Up to very near the hour of assem
bling, all but about four states in the
Union were found to he represented aud
with full delegations. This has proven
a source of wonderment to those who
started the movement. Whiio the treud

mass of flags and hunting. Potted
| plants, trailing ropes of smilax and
I green moss relieved the bright effect in
colors. The gold in the decorations was
j most conspicuous. A void eagle, with
j wings outstretched, sunn unted a snn-
| burst. Immediately over the platform
j floated the portraits of Tiiden, Heu-
| dricks, Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland
j and McDonald, in golden frames, while
from the platform waved a huge bunch
of golden rod. A band was located in
the upper gallery in the rear of the hall.
Many of the early arrivals were ladies.
Mrs. Hendricks, the widow of the late
vice presidential candidate, was one of
the first distinguished visitors of the
guests to occupy seats in the rear of the
stage.
The arrival of the Alabama delega
tion with a huge purple banner was the
signal for the first outburst of applause.
On the banner was tlie state shield, be-
ueath which were the words: “Here
wo rest,” recalling the old legend of the
Indians, who, driven pitilessly to the
northwest, settled in the territory, now
Alabama, from which the motto* of the
state is taken.
“Hurr ih for Alabama,” they shouted,
hud across the hall came the cry:
“What’s the matter with old Kentuck?”
The band then awoke the echoes with
a stirring modiey of popular airs, sind
immediately thereafter the delegates
began arriving. There were some en
thusiastic receptions. General Bragg,
as he moved to his seat in the extreme
left at the head of the Wisconsin dele
gation, was uproariously applauded.
Cheers For Colonel l*reek in ridge.
When the Pennsylvania delegation
filed in shortly before noon there wero
cheers for fcne old Keystone state. Im
mediately afterward, while the baud
was playing “Dixi •>,=’ Colonel W. C. P.
Breckinridge, with snow white beard
and hair, entered at the head of the
Blue Grass delegation and the galleries
again cheered.
The entrance of Iowa brought the
delegates to their foot.
The “What’s-the-matter” man was
present and kept the galleries busy. The
hands of the clock pointed to high noon.
Senator Palmer of Illinois, chairman of
tlio national committee, made his way
from his state’s quarters to the plat
form. The galleries were then about
half filled aud the main body of dele
gates were then in their seats. About
20 nor cent of those in tlie galleries were
ladies.
The appearance of the Florida delega
tion, headed by two burly negroes, one
carrying a 'Cleveland banner aud the
other a gilded alligator labeled “Flor
ida’s gold bug,” produced quite a flurry
of enthusiasm, but was drowned in the
thunderous applause which greeted the
New York delegation. Headed by ex-
Goveruor Flower aud General Tracy,
they marched to their seats, 72 strong,
to continuous handclapping. Each dele
gate had in his buttonhole a spray of
golden rod.
The New England delegation^, with
many conspicuous men among them,
was also warmly received. Massachu
setts carried two silk American flags
and a state banner. Ex-Congressman
Cuthwaite of Ohio took liis place on the
platform with Mr. Bynum and Secre
tary Wilson.
Among the distinguished visitors iu
the seats in the rear of the stage were
W. Bullitt of Pennsylvania. It. T. Ty
ler of Kentucky, who was a candidate
for lieutenant governor with P. Watt
Hardin a year ago; Dr. Everett of Bos
ton, the college professor and son of
Edwtrd Everett; Mrs. John M. Palmer
and many others.
Called to Order by Palmer.
-Senator Palmer, rose at 12:30 and
6truck the gavel. Thereupon most of
the delegates jumped to their feet,
shouting and waving their state ban
ners, ending the demonstration, which
was brief, by th; ee cheers. The white
haired senator said that this was the
first Democratic uational convention of
the year and it was fitting to call upon
that omnipotent power for guidance
aud presented Bishop White of the dio
cese of Indiana, a smooth faced, spec
tacled man, who read a brief prayer
from a written manuscript held be
tween the pages of a prayerbook.
After the prayer, for which the dele
gates rose, Senator Palmer announced (
that the secretary would read the call
for the convention, and ex-Congressman
Outhwaite of Ohio, who came forward
for the purpose, was recognized for a
breezy burst of handclapping. This ap
plause punctuated every telling point of
the call, during its reading, and
especially the statement that the Chi
cago platform was not entitled to the
support of the true Democrats. *
In reading the reference to “Jeffer
son, Jackson aud Cleveland.” Mr. Cuth
waite put particular stress upon Mr.
Cleveland’s name and brought the dele
gates to their feet with a tribute of
cheers louder than any which had gone
before. , .
During the reading the Chicago
Marching club filed into the ga.lery
with about 50 members in line.
A call of states to ascertain the‘pres
ent standing followed, and Colorado an

‘At the call of New York her 72 repre
sentatives loomed up in a compact group
in the left hand s ction of the hall with
a shout “We are here,” which inspired
cheers.
Chio and Pennsylvania also testified
to their presence by rising. Maryland’s

“Honest men, honest money and hon

of Oregon.
Four of the western group, Idaho,
Nevada, Utah and Wyoming, were the
only states whose names passed unan
swered. Alaska’s lone representative
was cheered. Arizona, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory had no spokesman.
After this call, Senator Palmer raised
a laugh by announcing that, the next
thing he found ou the program was

tinued, .“I’ll omit the remarks. Words
are silver; silence is golden.”
glower Temporary Chairman.
Then he introduced Mr. Brennan of
Wisconsin, who read the report of the
national committee. The recommenda
tion that tlie rules that governed the
last Democratic convention, “which was
held in 1862,” should govern this con-,
vention was cheered to the echo.
The report recommended ex-Governor
Flower of Ncfw York for temporary
chairman and John R. Wilson of In
diana for temporary secretary.
Governor Flower then addressed the
convention. His speech was concluded
at 1:45. Its delivery had occupied about
45 minutes. Governor Flower then as
sumed the gavel and by his direction
the states were called for members of
the committees ou resolutions, creden
tials and the selection of national com
mitteemen and vice presidents.
After an announcement that the com
mittees would meet immediately, thc-
convention. at 2:08, on motion of Mr.
Curtis of New Jersey, took recess until
-4 o'clock.
Trying to Force Bra™" Out.
An effort is being made to force Gen
eral Bragg out of the presidential race
in favor of Senator Vilas of the same
state. Many delegates here, believing
Senator Vilas the strongest candidate,
have tendered him their -support.
A sensational story was printed in a
morning paper here which, if true,
would have completely closed the Bragg
boom. In effect the story ran that late
Tuesday night some of Mr. Bragg’s
friends had discovered that no longer
ago than 1893 General Bragg was for
free silver and had written a letter in
support of his yews and that they had
decided to drop him and take up Sena
tor Vilas or General Biack of Illinois.
The story proved to be a canard. Sena
tor Vilas said:
“I would stake ray homestead on ray
conviction 1 Hat there is absolute.y no
truth in the story. General Bragg voted
for the experiment of the Bland-Allison
act iu 1878 and he was then iu the best
of Democratic company. Judge Thur
man, and in fact almost every Demo
crat in congress voted for that experi
ment, but since then General Bragg has
been absolutely sound on the money
question. Wisconsin is for Bragg aud
will continue to be for him.”
General Bragg himself was seen a
moment later, and when informed of
this report ejaculated characteristically:
“Oh fiddlesticks! There is not a word
of truth in it.”

Cheap Chinese Libor Enables Mine Own

San Francisco, Sept. 2.—-China has
thrown down the gauntlet to tlie big
coal miners of the United States. The
American bark Colorado, which has
just arrived, brought a cargo of coal
mined in the Tonquin district. It was
assigned to a coal dealing firm of this
city, which promises to push tlie Chi
nese fuel on the coast market at prices
greatly bel >w those which Pennsylva
nia and Welch coals of the same char
acter are now being sold. Examining
experts have pronounced the Touqu'u
coal beds almost inexhaustible. The
Chinese article is iu the market to stay,
it is said, at least as long as the present
tariff conditions exist.
Tonquin, since the Tonquin war, has
been under the control of the French,
and it is the French capital that is now
developing the mines, but the land is
populated by Chinese, as before, aud it
is the cheap Chinese labor that is em
ployed in the mines, and hence tlie ex
tremely low cost of production, which
enables the owners of Tonquin mines to
sell at lower prices than other conn fries.
The coal is said to be of the finest
quality, fully equal to the best Penn
sylvania coal.

Japan’s Premier L iter.
Washington, Sept. 2.—The Japanese
legation has been advised of the selec
tion of Kurodo as premier iu succession
to Marquis Ito. Eurodo is a Japanese
of the old school, a man of great attain
ments, of splendid record r.s a warrior
and a statesman. He was premier once
before, aud. like Li Hung Chang, was a
friend of General Grant, who came to
know aud admire him during his stay
in the east.
The impression here is that Kurodo’s
occupancy of the premiership will bo
only temporary, as it is not believed that
in bis advanced age he can bring him
self to tlie heavy task of discharging the
manifold duties of the place.
Baron Nissi, Japanese minister to Rus
sia, a man of notable record in the mod
ern Japanese school of politics, is ex
pected to arrive iu New York Sept. 10,
ou the way from St. Petersburg to To-
kio. The fact that he lias been recalled
at this time gives basis for a surmise
that he is slated for the premiership.
The state department has bee;it noti
fied of the expected arrival of the baron,
and will give instructions to the col
lector of the port of New York to ex
tend the usual official courtesies and
exemptions.

Citizens of Augusta Asked to Subscribe
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 28.—A meeting
cf the business men of Augusta was
held'in the Cotton Exchange here to
hear the proposition of Mr. Edward A.
Richards of Atlanta in the interest of
the construction of the proposed Ten
nessee, Georgia and Atlantic railroad.
Hon. Patrick Walsh was chairman of
the meeting.
Mr. Richards displayed a map show
ing the lino of the proposed railroad,
and showed that when the road was
completed Augusta would reap rich ben
efits in freight rates on coal, cotton and
other products from and to the west.
His preposition is that the people of Au
gusta subscribe enough toward the
building of the road to warrant the com
pany putting its headquarters and shops
in Augusta. Said Mr. Richards:
“The road is going to be built whether
this is done or nor, but we desire to
place oar shops aud offices here, and if
the money is raised Augusta will reap
the benefit of having them here. We
want Augusta to subscribe $200,000 in
first mortgage bonds. Chattanooga has
subscribed $300,000 and Washington
$50,000. We want Augnsta.tosubscribe
enough for the building of the line from
here to Athens, which will shorten the
route to Athens by 13 miles. Tlie route
to Chattanooga will be very nearly a bee
line and the advantages gained will be
numerous.”
After Mr. Richards had finished set
ting forth the advantages of the enter
prise a committee was appointed to so
licit subscriptions.

Ike AVcldon Accused of Being an Accessory
to the Killing; of Sam tlodge.
Valdosta, Ga., Aug. 31.—Ike Wel
don, a citizen of the Lower Fork dis
trict, has been brought to the city,
charged with being an accessory to the
murder of Samuel Hodge by Blimp
Hodge, on Wednesday.
Weldon is a lawyer in his s ttlement
and was the firm friend of Piimp Hodge
in some cases which came up in the
justice court there. Pie was with Primp
Hodge on Wednesday last and, it is
said, advised the latter to beat the life
out of Samuel Hodge for challenging
his vote. He was very abusive to Sam
Hodge and dared him to challenge liis
vote.
It is also alleged that he furnished
the knife with which the cutting was
done. Weldon is prominent among his
neighbors and his arrest has caused a
sensation among them.
A posse of several citizens are still
searching for Piimp Hodge. Though
nothing definite has been heard from
him, they are satisfied that he is still in
the section.

Thirty Thousand Union Veterans March
I Through the Streets of St. Paul.
! St. Paul, Sept. 2.—In recent years it

the length of the grand parade of the
old soldiers, and this year’s parado ex
ceeded two miles by but a trifle, aud as
it was over smooth streets and easy
walking, no ill effects were anticipated
from the tramp. Beside the meeting
and recounting of old experiences and
renewing old acquaintances there is
nothing that goes ahead of this event,
and to it many of tho old “vets” look
forward through the entire year, saving

As the head of the parade turned
down broad Summit avenue, the old
vets straightened their shoulders and
tried to renew their youth, liuiug up as
of old when they bad been able to turn
a corner in a straight line. The aveuuo
was crowded ou both sides with specta
tors, who applauded favorite posts, or
favored leaders, aud uow aud again a
cheer went up for the fine appearanco
of some of the less known posts. Oppo
site the residence of Colonel R. M.
Newport many whitehaired veterans
uncovered and saluted as they recog
nized the widow of their loved “Biack
Jack,” and Mrs. John A. Logan care
fully returned their salute. As the
head of each division arrived at this

and scattered flowers before the oncom

the blossoms and proudly placed them
in their buttonholes.
At the lower end of Sixth street the
reviewing stand had been erected, and

Turkey Seems Disinclined to Pr.7"For Mis

This Government's Policy.
Washington, Sept. 2.—The cruiser
Cincinnati has been ordered to Constan
tinople. This action is for the double
purpose of making an imposing display
of force if President Cleveland should
deem it necessary aud to relieve the
Marblehead when Turkish affairs r-v-
same their normal condition.
Although the navy department has
had this step iu contemplation soma
time, it has created something of a sen
sation, coming immediately after the
hasty fitting out of the miuiaturo war
ship Bancroft.
It is expected that the Minneapolis
will be ordered from Queenstown to
join the San Francisco, Marblehead and
the Cincinnati outside the Dardanelles.
Naval officials affect to attach no
especial significance to tho order send
ing the Cincinnati to Constantinople, as
the Marblehead has been a long time in
those waters and tho period of service
of a number of men on that station has
expired aud they desire to return to tho
United States.
The Cincinnati’s Equipment.
The Cincinnati is a cruiser of 3,213
tons, carries something like 800 men, is
well equipped with rapid fire guus and
is especially adapted to active work iu
the Bosphorus. She is now with Ad
miral Buuce’s fleet off the north Atlan
tic coast, and will reach the Dardanelles
in the latter part of October, about tho
time the Bancroft reaches Constan i-
nople.
Tho San Francisco, now at Alexan
dria, and the Marblehead, at Genoa, will
meet the Cincinnati at Smyrna.
The fact that these vessels are to ren
dezvous at Smyrna and go as a fleet to
the Dardanelles gives rise to tho im
pression that Minister Terrell will only
await their arrival to make such de
mands upon the Turkish government
as may result iu his immediate with
drawal from the city to take refuge
upon warships sent to protect him.
State Department Impatient.
Delay in paying American mission
aries in Armenia for property destroyed
by the sultan’s soldiers during the mas
sacres, failure to keep promises and an
apparent disinclination recently to ad
just the matter at all have made the
state department impatient, and it is
known to be tne fixed determination of
both the president and Secretary Olney
to exact payment in full for damages
sustained by citizens of the United
States.
Official dispatches exchanged betwoen ,
the secretary of state and the United
States minister at Constantinople show
that this government’s policy with re
gard to Turkey has not Leen less vigor
ous than that displayed iu dealing with
Spain, which resulted in the settlement
of the long delayed Mora claim and im
mediate consideration ef a large num
ber of other claims.
The destruction of American mission
property in the Phillippiue islands was
settled for in a comparatively brief time
by the Spanish government paying the
sum demanded.
A Chance to 3Iake Jlon '-y.
I have berries, grapes and peaches
a year old, fresh as when picked.
I use the California Cold process
do not beat or seal the fruit, just
put it up cold, keeps perfectly fresh,
and costs almost nothing; can put
up a bushel in ten minutes. Last
week I sold directions to over 120
families; anyone will pay a dollar
for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples of fruit. As there
are many people poor like myself,
I consider it my duty to give my
experience to such, and feel confi
dent anyone can make one or two
hundred dollars round home in a
few days. I will mail sample of
fruit and complete directions, to
any of your readers, for eighteen
two-cent stamps, which is only the
actual cost of the samples, postage,
etc, to me. Francis Casey,
