IT begins to look more and more like it would be Bland. The delegations as they arrive at Chicago jump on to the Bland wagon.

IT is not at all piobable that President Cleveland will vote the Republican ticket, but it is more than probable that he will go fishing on election day. The streams all over the country will be lined with Democratic poles and lines.

IT is what a man can buy with what he gets for a day's labor that measures the value of money. It suffices nothing if a man gets 84 instead of 82, if each dollar he gets is only worth, in purchasing power, one-half of the dollar he got.

THE excess of government expenditures over receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30 will be about 525,000,000, as compared with a deficit of 843,000,000 for the fiscal year 1S95. So much for the practical workings of the Gorman-Wilson law, and yet the Democrats of Indiana endorsed that deficit producing measure in their platform

THE free silver Democracy are demanding the free and unlimited coinage of the white metal at the ratio of 16 to 1. Why do they only go back to 1834? Why do they not go back to the ratio of the fathers? Why do they not want 15 to 1? That was the ratio of Hamilton, and supported by Jefferson. The 15 to 1 ratio it would seem "Was more sacred than the 10 to 1 ratio, The latter was not adopted until the government had been running for nearly fifty years.

CONGRESS, says the constitution Bball have nower "to coin money, reg tilate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures." That is all there is to it, z.sd not another line so far as Con gross is concerned. Neither gold nor silver is mentioned jn this connection

On this provision hangs "the money of

the constitution." The constitution

does not set forth the proportion of gold and silver. When people talk about the money of the constitution they are simply talking through their hats.

THERE is but one standard of measurement of cloth and that is a yardstick of 30 inches. A yard-stick of 15 inches would be a dishonest measure. There can be but one standard for the measurement of money. At present that standard is gold. Gold has been the standard by which the value of all other commodities have been measured for the last sixty years. If you undertake to have two measurements, the weaker of those who come together for trade will get the worst of the bargain. In other words the poor will suffer at the hands of the rich, and the laborer's hire will be discounted by the capitalist to the extent of its instability.

MR. CLEVELAND is the first President to accumulate an immense fortune while in office. Very many of the Presidents—Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Tyler, John Quincy Adams, Lincoln, and Hayes went out of office much poorer than they went in others of fine money-making abilities, like Washington and Jackson, would have been a great deal better off financially if they had stayed at home and managed their own affairs. The great majority of them were prudent, fairly thrifty men, who lived inBide of their salaries, had little appetite for money, out had small fortunes when thev died. President Cleveland entered office a poor man, and is now estimated to be worth more thanS2,000,000.

THE Argus News is bewailing the fact that because Si Sheerin, a sound money Democrat, is to be replaced by a free silverite as Secretary of the National Committee, and asks:

Besides, what does it amount to what Sheerin's views on the money question are if he is a good Democrat, or whether he has any view at all?

The Argus Ncivs is somewhat like the fellow who kept tavern in Arkansas. A traveler stopped and asked for something to eat. "We don't keep anything to eat," said the landlord. "Well, what do you keep?" asl$ed the wayfarer. "Why, we keep tavern. Don't you see the sign?" It matters not to the Argus Ncivs what a man's principles are so he labels himself a Democrat, which may mean anything or nothing.

THE Argus News is inclined to take a gloomy view of the Democratic outlook. It sizes up the situation in the following doleful strain:

The course of the free silver element is doing more to defeat the Democratic party than anything the Republicans can do. The party now is following new men—old wheel horses are being daily turned down. At Indianapolis not a picture of the party's great statesmen, either State or National, was to be seen on the walls—none but that of Governor Matthews. The name of the President of the United States was hissed. This will not bring about harmony. It is the height of folly. It is driving away thousands of voters. They will take a vacation this tall so far as the legislative officer are concerned. Why unnecessarily drive them away? Already thousandsof admirers of President Cleveland have been insulted by the treatment he received. It's poor policy for a man to cut off his nose to spite his own face. One thing needed now is money to i-un the campaign. The sound money men will be asked to contribute as usual. Will they do it? Already the State central committe is handi capped for funds.

Silver STen Dissatisfied Alter Their Conference With Chairman Ilarrity—Scnsttor .Blackburn In Conference With Silver Men—Woman Sull'ragists Will Make an Appeal—Other l'olitieal Newt).

WILLIAM C. WHITNEY.

vent the party's throwing itself entirely upon the white metal side of the controversy. In addition to Mr. Whitney Senators Hill and Murphy, Hon. Charles Tracy, and Governor Flower. Hon. Frederick R. Coudert and ex-Postmaster Bissell are expected from New York as are Hon. Don M. Dickson of Michigan, Governor Russell, Hon. J. E. Russell and Mayor Quincy from Massachusetts, Senator Jewett of New Jersey, Senator Vilas of "Wisconsin, Senator Gray of Delaware and many others, including large delegations of business men and influental politicians from Indianapolis, Baltimore, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other cities. It is understood that 60 influential men are coming from Indianapolis alone and that Iowa will send a large delegation. The Illinois goid pemocrats will also be present iu force." "I c&nnot bnt believe," said Mr. Eckels, after giving this list, "that the.:e men will exert an influence upon the Convention. They are all men who have participated in national affairs and all well known Democrats. They will appeal to the convention in the interest of the business stability of the country and also for the preservation of the party's integrity. Even the silver leaders must listen if they are Democrats when it is pointed out to them that adoption of a free silver declaration means tho certain defeat of the party at the polls. It will be shown to them as it can be clearly shown that iu this event they -will not only lose every eastern state, but that they are also sure to lose all the southern states, such as Maryland, Delaware, "West Virginia and Kentucky where the Republicans have an organization which is not bound up with the Populists. "Tjiey must also listen to appeals to their reason against the overturning of Democratic precedents, as is proposed to be done in the matter of tha abrogation of the two-thirds rule. No Democrat can regard such innovations as this and sucli .'is the frequent consultation with the St. Louis bolters with equanimity, and such proceedings will only encourage the independent movement which is soon to follow them if thev are coupled with a free coinage declai tion in the platform."

SILVER MEN NOT SYTISIIEIJ

Failed to Secure a Definite Il«a of the Plans From Chairman Ilarrity* CHICAGO, July 2.—The silver dele­

gates are far from satisfied with the result of the conference of their committee with Chairman Harrity and tho members of the executive committee of tho national Democratic committee. They had not counted much upon securing positive acquiescence in their demand to bo allowed to practically secure the temporary chairman of the convention, but they had hoped to secure a more definite idea of the programme of the national committee than they succeeded in obtaining. The result of tho conference was almost nil, and tho silver men left the committeeroom feeling that their labor had been practically in vain. They were also displeased with the postponement of the matter until so late a date as next Monday.

Chairman Iiarrity insists that he acted in perfect good faith with the silver committee and that, being only one member of the national committee, he could not give any further assurance than he did give.

The silver people also feel that the assurance in regard to contests was very indefinite, and they find that it will be necessary for them to continue their precautions in this respect. They are quite determined that the silver majority shall be deprived of no advantage that justly pertains to the majority.

Upon the whole the conference confirms the silver people in the belief that their early reuniting and provision for co-operation is wise and that it is necessary to continue their precautions in the interest of the majority.

There has been considerable discussion of the availability of Governor Altgeld as temporary chairman, but it is intimated that, believing he can be of more service on tho floor than in the chair, he will not be a candidate. The question of the selection of a man foi this place is, however, still open.

Mr. 'ckcls thinks that after

that time the complexion of sentiment will ohange somewhat and that the silver people will not have such complete command of the situation as they now appear to have. While Mr. "Whitney is regarded as the leader of the gold forces they expect to be able to muster a formidable array of distinguished men who will assist him in his efforts to pre-

M/KItyLEY VISITORS.

Worklngmnn, Businessmen and Christian Endeavorers Fay Respects, CANTON, O., July 2.—Yesterday after­

noon 200 glass workers and rolling mill mon from Massillon, O., with band and glass badges, and glass canes, called at tho McKinley home, and were presented by their leader, Joseph Grapevine, who talked of protection as the safeguard of their industry, to which Governor McKinley responded thanking the delegation for their cordial greetings and congratulations.

Later a RDeciiil cm- load of St. Louis business men arrived. Tliey were headed by Hon. R. S. Kerens and sent Governor McKinley an invitation to dine with them in their car. Governor McKinley was compelled to decline, however, owing to an engagement to meet 3.000 Christian Endeavor delegates to the state convention in session here, who had sent word that they would call last evening and give the Chautauqua Balute. The Christian Endeavor delegation, 8,000 strong, marched to the McKinley residence. They made a handsome sight as they crowded about the McKinley grounds, overflowing the streets for a block each way and waving their flags and handkerchiefs in enthusiastic aocord. Governor McKinley mounted a chair on the piazza and responded to the presentation of President J. H. Bamberger of Columbiana.

ALTGELD WON'T ACCEPT.

Illinois Governor Declines the Temporary Cliairuiaush ip. CHICAGO, July 2.—Governor Altgeld

was asked last night whether he would accept the temporary chairmanship of the Democratic convention in case he should be chosen by the silver forces and replied that he would not. "I would not have it under any circumstances," he said. "A presiding officer, if he is an honest man, can be nothing but a figurehead. I want to be where I can do something and would not surrender my place on the floor for the honor, however great." The governor added that he did not know who would bo chosen, and said that he was indifferent as to the man, providing his views on tho financial question were satisfactory.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

This Question Is to Be Presented In No Meagre Manner. CHICAGO, July 2.—The committee on

resolutions of tho approaching convention is not alone to have to wrestle with the great financial problems now proving so vexatious, but it is to be presented with arguments pro and con on the question of suffrage for women, and the question is to be presented in no meagre manner, if the women have their way. The half hour given the two sides of the argument by the Republican committee in St. Louis is but a fraction of what they will ask herQ. The suffragists, headed by Lillie Deveaux BlaTco and Mrs. Clara Poltz will ask for an extended hearing, at which several speakers of well kiiown suffrage proclivities may be heard. .i.

Tillman and His Pitchfork# CHICAGO, July 2.—Senator Tillman,

chairman of the South Carolina delegation, arrived in the city last night as the advance guard of his delegation. He joined the silver forces at the Sheman House and participated in the proceedings of the silver meeting there. The governor said jocularily that he had his "pitchfork" with him and that he was as determined as ever to contribute his share toward making the convention a pronounced silver affair.

Blackburn Expresses Satisfaction. CHICAGO, July 2.—Senator Blackburn

of Kentucky is among the recent arrivals. He was iu conference during the greater part of the day with silver delegates from all parts of the country. The senator declines to discuss the situation beyond expressing his satisfaction it the prospects of an unquestionable silver majority in the convention.

Nebraska Republicans.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 2.—In the Republican convention's session MacColl of Lexington was nominated for governor on the fifth ballot and Toft of Cass county for lieutenant governor. The St. Louis platform was indorsed.

Juliet Gaining In Population. JOLIET, Ills., July 2.—The new city

directory shows an increase in the popu1 ition of this city. It has 15,572 names, which indicates a population of almost 40,000. There are over 7,000 houses in the city, with only 98 of them vacant.

STRIKERS MONOPOLIZE CAR LINE

Nenrly Two Hundred OMcers Used to Ksoort tiie Nonunionists From the Hoisting Works—Ono Striker Shot In the

Arm—Warrant Issued For the Arrest of a Deputy Sheriff.

CLEVELAND, July 2.—Ono h^Jred and twenty-five workmen left tho Brown Hoisting company's works yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock under escort of 175 policemen. Strikers and onlookers to the number of 6,000 hooted and jeered them. Squads of strikers •went iu both directions on St. Clair street and took possession of every car that came along, filling them so full that tho workmen could not get on. By force the police succeed9d in getting a number of the workmen on care and sent them home under guard. The rest were marched to the Central police station, followed by the howling mob, and from there sent home in patrol wagons.

This evening any crowd that collects will be dispersed. One of the nonunion workmen, A1 Strong, after being put on the car, fired his revolver into the crowd, the bullet grazing the arm of Benjamin Ions, a striker. Strong was arrested and locked up. One striker was arrestid for intoxication.

In response to Sheriff Leek's request for militia Governor Bushnell responded that the sheriff must use his own judgment and if unable to cope with the strikers himself to call out what militia he wanted in the county. Everything was quiet at Berea and'Westview last night. The sheriff has 150 deputies under arms, 50 with Winchester rifles. Company D, O. N. G., at Berea is under arms and Company of this city has been ordered to stand in readiness to move.

Four Polish strikers were wounded in the melee at Westview. Vincent Maschinski is shot through the lungs and will die. He is 38 years old and has a wife and four children. Martin llockowski was wounded in the chin and Joseph Wawzonski and Anton Pntok were slightly wounded in the legs. The strikers ha', a sworn out warrants for the arrest of Deputy Sheriff Smith and other deputies, charging them with shooting with intent to kill.
