between rival delegations for seats, be¬
tween fighting factions for platform
planks aud between other elements for
almost everything except the places on
the ticket. Tho silvor men realized
that thoy were in the minority, but
whon the committee on credentials
during the night reduced their number
so materially by seating what were
known as the “Brice bolters’’ from
Clevolaud, tho silver men resolved to
make trouble on the reports on creden¬
tials, resolutions aud everything else.

leaders were up all mght, aud between

his friends aud others, who had been
mentioned for standard bearers, also
gave out that they would not accept.
The silver won met aud resolved not to
have a free cftiasige man on the.-ticket
if they could prevent it. Several perso
nal encounter were features of the
night meetings and the feeliug was no
better when tho dalegates assembled.
It was 10:30 o’clock when the chair¬
man of the state committee, M. A.
Smalley, called the convention to or¬
der, and C. S. Brice was introduced as
the presiding officer of the convention,
and spoke as follows:
Mr. Brice recognized tho honor con¬
ferred upon him, and went directly in
a discussion of the financial question.
He said the situation was grave. A
year ago, the Democratic party had
suffered a great defeat; hundreds of
thousands staying away from the polls
and allowing the party, which happen¬
ed to be iu power, to suffer for the
financial depression, low wages, low
prices, and all of the attendant evils
which had befallen tho country; al¬
though that party was, in uo wise, re¬
sponsible. But, while the Democratic
party was not responsible, the presi¬
dent aud congress were called upon for
relief and held to acoount for failure to
afford it. Prophecies were made that
the party would never survive tho de¬
feat. That Democracy was The dead was
tho cry from all lost sides. for majority to
in the senate was years come,
and representation In the house had
dwindled from an overwhelming ma¬
jority to a mere handful. He then a 3 ks:
“Is this tho time for those who re¬

to

welcome all build who are Democratic willing to join

“But he
“does not this convention aud the in¬
tense feeling and those manifested have by those who
attend, who sent their
delegates here, tell the story that a
change has come over the publio mind;
that the Democratic party is no longer
prostrate; that its fortunes are rising,
and that it is quite worth the while tp
to be in the Democratic army, which
already has the assurance and the confi¬
dent step aud of fear a maroh toward victory? The
Panic have passed away.

stored, confidence re-established aud
business everywhere reviving, and it is
now clear that it is only a question of
time, either in November of this year
or of next year when the American peo¬
ple will reward the Democratic party
for its profound servloe to the repub¬
lic.”
Mr. Brice then showed that the party
had fulfilled the three great promises
made by it iu 1893 more nearly than
any party had ever fulfilled a promise.
These promises are found, summed up,
in a saying of Samuel J. Tilden Sound 40
yoar 3 ago, viz: “Home Rule,
Money and Free Trade.”
He then reviewed the work of the
last congress on these three the issues and
closed with an appeal to people of
his state to support the platform currency of plank
in the Democratic 1892,
urging the Cleveland interpretation of
it as a correct one, and insisted that
the free coinage of silver would be
ruinous to the nation.
The senator was loudly cheered applauded when

NOT WELL FOUNDED.
The Report That Uncle Sam Will Send a
Fleet After the Store Claim Honey.
Washington, Aug. 20.—There is no
foundation for the story issued by the
United Press that it had been the ia
tention of the administration to send
the fleet of Admiral Bunco to soize the
city of Havana in order to force the
payment of the Mora claim.
Acting Secretary Adee, of the state
department, said that would he hod absolutely
uo Information that in any way
give foundation for the report.
Acting Secretary McAdoo said that
the navy department knew nothing offi¬ of
any sue h purpose and other high
cials of the navy who necessarily would
know about such a program, if one
had been outlined, said that no in¬
timation ever had boon given that the
fleet of Admiral Bunco would be nsod
for any such purpose and added that
the dates and points which had been
agreed on for the cruise of Admiral
Bunco’s fleet absolutely precluded any
such iuteutlon. It was, in fact, merely
a story of the imagination, they said.

NO CLASS LEGISLATION. .
Equal Right* For All, Special Privileges
to None.
In a speech delivered before a free
silvor convention at Griffin, Gu., Sena¬
tor Morgan of Alabama rohushed the
stale theories of the silver standard ad
vocates, and closed his exposition of the
froe coinage gospel with the declaration
that the silverites demanded “equal
rights for all, special privileges to
none.” This dootrine of equality before
tho law is one which appeaMto overy
fair minded American, and iris the be¬
lief that silver Is denied privileges
granted to gold which has led many to
support tho agitation for free ooinago at
10 to 1 . But there is no ground for such
claim. On tho contrary the proposition
that tiro government should coin into
money at a fixed ratio oil the silver of
this or other countries which might ho
brought to the minis is a direct violation
of the principles of equal rights.
All that the government does for gold
Is to stamp it with a certificate of its
weight and fineness. The legal tender
quality of gold coin adds nothing to its
commercial value. If tiro government
wore to stop the coinage of gold tomor¬
row, the voice of that metal would re¬
main tho same. And tho adoption of
gold as the standard of values has not.
increased tho value of the products of
tho gold minor. The sixmo could bo said
of silvor were it merely proposed to coin
that metal at its true commercial valua
Tho most extreme “goldbug” of tho sil
vorite’s imagination would not object to
froe coinage of silver dollars if each
coin contained a full dollar’s worth of
silver. The objection to such action on
tho part of the government is that it
would involve a great and useless ex
ponso for mintage, as the commercial
value of silvor continually changes, and
it would bo necessary to make now coins
whenever silver became cheaper or dear¬
er. But the demand of the free silver
advocates is not for tho coinage of both
metals at their commercial value, but
for the unlimited coinage of silver,worth
only 50 cents, into coins which will
be legal tender in payment for goods or
of debts oqual to gold coins, worth twice
as much. In other words, they sock to
compel tho government to give one class,
the producers of silver, the right to have
tho value of their products doubled by
setting a fictitious value ou it. This is
what free coinage at 10 to 1 really
means, and if adopted it would make
the silver miners a privileged class at
tho expense of the whole people.
That this is true is recognized by all
tho leading Populists, who have de¬
manded that the government should go
farther and givo the owners of staple
farm products the right to have their
crops stored j u
In this the Populists are consistent with
their paternalistic view's, but very in¬
consistent, with tiie Jeffersonian doctrine
of equal rights. The truo remedy for
any violation of this groat principle is
not the granting of special privileges to
tho farmers as well as to silver miners,
but the repeal of all class legislation
aud steadfast opposition to all financial
schemes involving government aid to
any special interest.
HATRED OF ENGLAND.
The “English Octopus” the Best Customer
For American Products.
Coin resorts to tho familiar and well
worn appeal to tho prejudice which
sorno peoplo iutliis country are supposed
to feel against England. The people of
that country have the same religion, the
same laws aud tho same language as
ourselves. We did light in years gone
by, but we are now united by the close
ties of business and friendship. The
English octopus, as Coin calls it, is real¬
ly a country that is our host customer
for wheat, for cotton, for beef, for pe¬
troleum and for Yankee notions. He
it “feeds nothing but gold, ” In
says on wheat,
fact, however, it feeds ou the the
coffee, the sugar of South America, the
tea of China—in short, tho natural or
manufactured products of every part of
the world, all of which it pays for.
American investors draw geat sums iu
royalties from this “octopus.” It does
not get any gold worth speaking of from
Asia, from Africa or from South Amer¬
ica. Whatever gold it does get is a nat¬
ural product and a source of profit to

those who produce and export it. In
short, the whole octopus business, like
the other delectable illustrations in
“Coin’s School,” is a delusion and a
snare. The worst thing that could happen
isfaction on the ruin of his best custom
er.
Another ■■ favorite argument of the free
silver advocates is that England first
adopted the gold standard and lias grown
rich by it, and that, therefore, it
be bad for other countries. Let ns note
two things in this connection:
First.—England first adopted trial by
jury and the writ of habeas corpus. She
first enforced tho principle of freedom
that uo man should bo deprived of life,
liberty or property but by the judgment
of his peers or the law of the laud,
Shall we discard these sacred muniments
of liberty because they are of English
origin?
Second.—If England has prospered
undt-r the gold standard, why not the
United States? Certainly no country
ever became really prosperous by the
ruin of its neighbors. In tile great com
monwealth of nations the prosperity of
one makes trade with all and helps to
enrich all.—From Everett F. Wheeler’s
