TEE MOSEY POWER WS

ANDTOM REED IS CHOSEN SPEAKER. Only Two Ballots Necessary to Seur Bla Z3ction MoPbmon Chosen Clerk on tho rirst Ballot Ilolmes for Ser geant-at-Arms. Washington; Nov. 30. The floor of the house presented a busy scene this morning as early as 10 o'clock, although noon was the boar fixed for the meeting of the caucus which was to decide who should preside over the deliberations of the house during the Fifty-first congress. The members assembled gathered in groups to look over the situation, and the mends of the various candidates were earnest in their efforts to add to the strength of their favorites. The first candidate to put in an appearance was Mr. Cannon of Illinois. Shortly after 10 o'clock he arrived at the capitol and took possession of the larger of the two rooms occupied by the committee on appropriations. There he awaited the coming of his active lieutenant?, Messrs. Eowell and Adams of Illinois wbo, when they arrived, went hard to work in behalf of the Illinois candidate. Mr. Iteed was the next candidate to reach the capitol, und he immediately went to the hall of the house and in his old seat received the pood wishes of his supporters. Mr. McKinley directed his canvas from the room of the committee on rivers and harbors, and hie chief lieutenant, Mr. Thompson, was active in his efforts to prevent any break in the ranks of the adherents of the Ohio man. The Michigan delegation secured the room of the committee on naval affairs for Its candidate, and Mr. Burrows smilingly welcomed all comers. Mr. Henderson of Iowa was the neighbor of Mr. Cannon, occupying the smaller room of the appropriationscommittee, and was the recipient of many rood wihes About ten minutes before 12 the doorkeepers began to clear the flxr of the house of all persons not. entitled to be present. The busy newspaper men took r.p their stations in the corridors, the adherents of the various candidates who were not rnemliers of congress Fathered in knots outride of the door-ways, and a few democratic members who had dropped in to see the skirmishing and dragooning of forces preliminary to the caucus retreated to adjacent committee-rooms. Just lefore the caucus met tbe air was thick with rumors of combinations and agreements. The whippers-in of the various candidates were laboring earne stly with members gupposed to be of doubtful dispositions, or those who showed a willingness to trade after a few ballots for their favorites. But thee memWrs were few in number, comparatively speaking, and it was surprising to witness the degree of confidence exhibited by the leading candidates. Promptly'at noon the caucus was called to order by Secy. McComas. Mr. Cannon holds over as chairman of the caucus, but in view of his candidacy tor the speaker-f-bip, he retired, and Mr. Henderson of Illinois was elected chairman. The first business in order was to call the roll of th ruembers. The roll-cad developed the presence of loö members, four less than tbe entire republican strength in the fconse. Mr. Mudd, the contestant for Mr. Com pt on 's seat from the Tiiih Maryland district, occupied a seat on the rloor, but took no part in the proceedings. The first business transacted was the adoption of a resolution that the balloting for the speakership should be open. The first ballot resulted Reed TS, McKinley 30, Cannon 22, Burrows 10, Henderson 18. On the second ballot Reed received S votes, thus receivins the nomination. The second ballot was Reed -V, McKinley "A f.'annon 19, Burrows 1Ä. Henderson 9. So Keed was declared to have received the caucus nomination. Voting down a motion to take a recess until evening, the caucus iruruediately j roeeeded to select a nominee for clerk, snd the various candidates were presented in short speeches. The result of the first ballot was the election of Mr. McPberson of Pennsylvania, who received 116 to 50 for Carbon of Pennsylvania. A. J. Holmes, ex-representative . from Iowa, and A. H. I.'eed of Minnesota, were the candidates for sergeant-at-arms, and Mr. Holmes was selected. The vote was Holmes 143. Kced 13. The candidates fir doorkeeper were Charles Adams of Maryland, and James A. Wheat of Wisconsin. Adams Mas nominated by one majority. Whent was, however, immediately nominated, for the otlice of postmaster, receiving IX votes, against 23 for L itell. 20 for "Worrell and 1 for McKee. The llev. Charks H. Ramsdell ot tho North prcbyterian church of Wnf.hinrton was nominate! for chaplain, receiving M votes out ot a total of 1 17, the remainder l-eincr divided among half a dozen other candidates. WANAMAKER'3 FIRST. He Sref nimsrlf on III Keport Same 5ii'gtion. Washington, Nov. 29. Potmaster-Cten. Wannmaker has submitted his first report to President Harriou. Among other expressions are thee: "The poatollice is the visible form of tbe federal government to every community and every citizen. The people want the stetn administered w ith such efficiency and economy that it shall oder them more and more accommodations and tax them less and lens. Th only method I ran suggest by which all their ieires may be gratified, is not merely to talk about application of business principles to the department, it is really to apply them. It is not to work in pior quarters; it is cot to transport mails Moot when they should go in railroad trains; it is not to tolerate disloyal or listless employes if l tter ones can "be had ; it in cot finally to keep unwillingly abreast of the times. It ii always to lead the times. "What is needed first, w a fourth assistant postmaster general, to be in direct charge of the great divisions of the railway mail, the foreign mail, the monev order office, the registery and nupplie divisions, and lift out of the office of the first assistant postmaster-general aJl duties, except those of studying men for appointment, and "establishing offices, changing sites, examining reports of inspectors, nd taking care of the bond division. Create a new place ami find the best educated postal man in the service, at the postofnee department, or in any of the postoffices, and make him the genera! manager." Mr. Wanamaker says the postoffices r hould be divided into districts with a nuperviser over each. He reviews the controversy with tbe Western Union and says be Lad hoped to submit a plan for unitinz the postal and telegraph facilities, having carriers distribute night messages and riving a low telegraph rate to the public. Ie thicks a contract should be entered into, on bids, connecting the telegraph tervicewith free delivery offices, postage etamps to be used in payment Touching civil service, th report runs thus: "The postal department has an individuality cf its own. The ordinary good clerk of the government might suit perfectly welf in any other of the civil places, but for poetfcfüc work ho must almost learn a

trade. There ought to be a kind of apprenticeship with promotions that would produce motion throughout the ranks from lowest to hiebest place. With 150,000 employes rightly selected, who feel a proper pride in representing the government aud are alive every day to improve, tbe postal service would soon become the best in the world. It may be gravely questioned whether the present mode of selecting inspectors will lurnish the peculiar ability which the government should command." The report recommends that larger discretion be given for making contracts for carrying foreign mails with American registered vessels; and the minimizing of Sunday work will be a subject of careful attention. Free delivery is recommended for towns of 0,000 inhabitants. It is not time to establish 1 cent postage. Postal savings banks in 10,000 fourth-class offices are recommended. The department is not yet ready to consolidate third and fourthclasd matter and conduct a general parcels post because of its great expense. GORDON IN CHICAGO.

The Southern Orator Electrifies a Northern Audience Will III Eloquence. CniCAfio, Nov. 30. Cheering and shout, ing to be rememWred for a long time shook Ceniral music hall to-night Nearly three thousand typical people of a northern city were applauding a famous Confederate general who, carried away by the spirit of the moment, was grasping in his hand the stars and stripes and in burning words apostrophizing the flag he fought on many a bloody field. Gen. J. 15. Gordon, governor of the state of Georgia, wad the speaker. The assemblage had gathered in the interest of a monument to the Confederate dead in Chicago, and the coders of the box office were full. On the stage were a score of the most prominent professional and business men of Chicago, and presiding as chairman was the mayor of this city. Tbe familiar strains of "Dixie" greeted the southern leader as he first entered the hall, and when the great audience caught eight of his erect, soldierly figure and gray-umstiched, dcej-fcarred, noble-looking conntennnce, a yell of delight went up that told him he xin union? his friends. Another storm of applause teg:n when Mayor Cregier introduced Gen. Gordon as "the governor of a sister state to Illinois; one of the United State, and may it be united through all time with all tbe states constituting this great Union. The statesman and the soldier" Tbe outbursts of cheering here cut short whatever followed of introduction, but all was suddenly hushed as (ion. Gordon, in a voice tremulous with emotion, began: I thank you with all the sincerity of my nature lor this generous reception. What more approrriate moment than now could there be to analyze some of the effects of the late eiyil war anl hovr it has hinded our hearts. From the incidents of the past let us come as one now und consider the welfare of this peerless republic. War, thongh often calamitous, is not always evil. Justifiable war, however grievous for the present, nay work for the people a might of popular good and national jrlory. Even a war waged acainst rebellious suhjucts maybe such. The revolution of 1776 is a living example. The resistance by our fathers was a just rewnrd a rebellion true, concerted, deliberate rebellion but it was a p.iradox of history a rebellion lor defense; defense against the demands acainst personal liberty. Our war of ISiii was the only war where it mitfht be safely claimed on both shies to be a war of defense for the North, a defends of the integrity of the republic; to the .south, a defense ot the rights of the states, of home, of property, guaranteed rights, ami therefore guaranteed freedom. It is immaterial to inquire which was rieht. The war, and all the aetors in it, will yt be tried before the impartial Jude of all, in the impartial forum of all. When the rin.il verdict is tjiven, no more consecrated purposes, no more exalted ideas, can he shown than those on both sides in the great contest. The awful joining of those two great clouds, the dark blue of the North und the somber cray of the South, transferred the colored race trota useless barbarism to the best clad, best fed, most contented class in the civilized world. The sneaker paid a fervent tribute to the fidelity of the neeroes during tbe war to the protection of life and property, and laimed that it proved conclusively the kit.dly tre.-itment the negro had been receiving, lie said that since the war, in some instances, misguided philanthropy and political influences have in some way antagonized the two ratvs, but in the end Christendom will appl uid the treatment of the negro by the white since the war. The negro problem, he continued, should 1k left to the two people, most interested, and the netrro problem, if there were su l a problem, would be settled to the benefit of both. Asitation. be said, Wpets apprehension ; apprehension turns to distrust and distrust to alienation, the forerunner of Plrite. The fleet on the future character of this republic, mM (low (ionlon, would ilelend on tbe use made of the history of the contlict. To build the self-respect" of our youth, we must teach the boy that in his veins flows tbe blood of hemes. To destroy the bov's manhood. write no history of the war, build no monuments to dead lis roes. In tbe not remote future the North may need whatever ot patriotism there n in the South, just as the South would need the North. Already the country was grappling with the socialistic spirit that has doomed other nations, and even threatened this fair city. Could they avert evil by building walls of prejudice? Perish stich thoughts! Perish all doubt and distrust ! Long live American manhood? Long lire American self-respect, the spirit of justice, the union of these co-equal states defended by the manhood of the entire American people. Lotty float this banner, Die proudest emblem of law and honor and freedom ever in the world; emblematic of complete harmony as that of the spheres, guiding our sister republics of France and brazil, and all the peoples of the earth iu learning how to be free. The effect of the earnest w ords was electrical. It was several minutes before the cheering subsided, and the audience dispersed singing "America." (rov. Gordon was then escorted to a reception at tbe IroquoU club. The hospitalities there were a continuation of a st rich that betran early in the morning, when Gen. Gordon was met twenty miles out by a company headed by (JenGeorge Crook, U. S. A. DOUBLE PUNISHMENT.

U Pottstown, this morning, the coroner's jury in the case of John Chana, said to have become a helpless paralytic, as a result of blasphemy, and who was found Thursday morning in his room hanging on a rope fastened to a bed post, returned a verdict that death resulted from stramzulation at the hands of hLs wife's paramour, John Kindarosch, and that Mrs. Chana was an accessory to the crime.

NATIONAL CONVENTION AT ST. LOUIS They Propose Tbnt Mlvor Shrill be Placed on an Equality With tlolil Silvr Dland Heads n Strong Committee on Resolution. St. Louis, Nov. 2tk Mr. James Campbell called the 330 delegates to the national silver conrention to order at 11 o'clock and named L. M. Kumsey of St. Louis as temporary chairman. On taking the chair Mr. Rumsey said that on the deliberations of this convention largely depended the future prosperity of the country, for congress would undoubtedly listen to the voice of this convention, which was thoroughly representative of the country. The people should have the right to coin their silver as freely as they coin their gold. The necessity of the unlimited coinage of silver is apparent and imperative. IIa hoped no hobbies would be brought in and that the convention would devote ita whole time to the main end sought to be reached. After the appointment of committees a recess was taken until 3 p. in. During the recess the committee on resolutions chose IL P. ("Silver") Bland of Missouri chairman. The committee diseased ita work, but will meet again to-morrow roorninir. It is regarded as a very strong committee, being constituted as follows: Arkansas. B. IV. William; Arizona, John C. Loss; .Al.it.aniu, A. Irwin; f'olormlo, T. B. Buchanan; O.ili ferula, the lion. 1". M. 1'ixley; Haho, William llir.dnian ; Indiana, Peter l. Kennedy; Illinois, the ll.iii. G. K. Waite; Kana, A. H. Mcl-entian ; Kentucky, Henry Watterson; Montana, W. G. Gallu'her; ilisouri, K. I'. Hand; Nebraska, William Wallace; New Mexieo, J. A Mazanaris; New York, Thomas Jordan; Nevada. Francis Y. Newhanks; rvnnTlTani, W. J. t'hayney; Texa, Chirles l.ongueiue; l'tah, C C. Goodwin; District of Culumhia, 1. ('.. Michel; Michigan, the lion. BvnColTlo; Wyoming, W. M. Oram; Tennessee, A. J. Keü.ir; Virginia, John W. I'erUr. While the committees were out Gov. Francis was introduced to the convention and said he thought it fitting that the first silver convention should be held in Missouri at the home of the father of the silver dollar of to-day. Reference to the "deserved failure" of the eSorts of Germany and the United States to demonetize silver was warmly applauded. Gov. Francl., in tbe courxe of his remarks, said cm the question of the demonetization of silver: The ((aestion which you have ruf t to consider Is a lirina one, yea, it is a live and presMnn ii"ut secoo l in importance only to the great fiiepuon which la always lirst with all nations, all cl.uies and all races, namely, th question of taxation. For centurl I th-i precious metals of gold jB 1 silver have been looked nnou kh standard o value, as mediums 01 exchange. l'.s than two decades azo Germany, enrich-d by the payment of a lar.' tribute from d -feated and humiliated f ranee, attempted to demonetize silver, and this country of ours was unwio eno iirh to at-t'-mot to follow'the baneful example. Both efforts have met with the failure which they so richly deserve.! applause, and to-day silver' ptsoes current a a lenal tender in ieriiiany, whilst in our own country wc witness the unprecedented spectacle of our poverniu 'n'. buying from its own citizens a com mmlity at " cents which it pays out for value received at looct nts. Applause.) Tout-hint: upon the results of the convention and the influences it would exert, the governor (aid: There is now in session in our national capital a conirrps ali the independent nations in America of North. Central and ("oath America the countries which produce nearly all the ilver produced in the world. I Anpl.nise.) One of the objects of that convention is, I think, and I trust, at any rate, to see a standard silver dollar that will pass current for 10') cents from Alaska to Patagonia. (Applause.) At 3 n. m., when the convention reassembled, it was decided to open the doors to the public. A bntj discussion was had over the maimer of voting, but it was decided th.tt each state delegation should have twenty votes, and one vote euch for all over that number in any delegation. The committee on organization reported A. J. Warner of Ohio, chairman; J. M. McMichael of Colorado, vice chairman ; Albert linger of Missouri, secretary, and F. L. Dann ot" Colorado, T.J. Palmer of Kansas, and J. A. Greer of Pennsylvania, assistant secretaries. On taking the chair Mr. Warner said: A subject than which none other affects the people of the eutire world with eual weiirht is the silver question. Since Germany, iu s2 followed later by other European powers and partly by the tDited states, demonetized or limited silver as money, tho question ha been a vital lsue, and in the dist ussiou limetallists have won the victory. The attempt to change the nmner standard from jrold and silver to old alone was worse than a mistake was almost a crime. The men who favored such a cnre knew what the consequences would be on th-i debts and commerce of the mtions of the world, and they w re aided by men wl o did not realize he far-reaching results of the chacse. Tlie denionetiatton of silver made the pc-dd standard dillerent front what it was before that act. Pemonetizalion oi silver wa, in fact, a irreal crime, and silver's restoration is now th important question of the world. The people have sum-red more from bad monetary legislation than from any other caue. The first duty is stability of tbe finances. What is asked is the restoration of that money standard wliich existed for ars; that silver I placed on an equality w ith gold at the ratio which has cxit"d. It is the duty of the country to restore what should never have been disturb (, and this ronvetitiou has as nibled here to decide on the b' at methods to be pursued in reaching the desired end. St. Lor is, Nov. 27. After nevt-ral delayed delegates to the silver convention had presented their credentials this ruorniutr, Mr. Morse of Colorado ottered the following which, after discussion, was referred to the resolution committee: Kesolved, That tbe senators and representatives in the congress of the United Mates be and are hereby requested to establish a unit for the coinage of silver with the ."South American states that shall make silver coin pass current on a par with gold in all the America of the Western Hemisphere, and that they also be requested to open negotiations with the conirresi of all the Anicr.cas new in session in Washington for rebuilding of a railroad from the United States to and through, the states of fSouth Apierica. Alter li-teninp to a paper on the silver (ttestion from Thomas Jordan, editor of the New York Mining fitmnl, the convention took a recess until 2:30 p. in. The convention reassembled promptly at L':.0 anl listened to p:ijers from Judge Morris of Richmond, Ind., and Consrresman Sy mines of Colorado. Mr. Symnies referred to the article froui the pen of John Jay Knox, in which Mr. Knox took a position adverse to the sentiments of the convention, und said: And this is the man who advised concress to demonetize silver from 1870 to 1S73, because, aa lie argued, an American fcilver dollar exceeds by 3 per cent, the standard of void, and will not circulate, but will be exported for rccoinaje. Congressman Symmes was followed by Senator Stewart of Nevada, whose ringing remarks evoked frequent outbursts of applause. The senator's address was a distinctively ofT-hand talk, and seemed to suit the delegates much better than tho printed papers to which they had previously listened. Anions other things, Senator's'tewart said: Iurinir the deliberation thus far I have beta profoundly impressed with the fact that the question of money is involved in these proceedings, and in order to understand what oucht to be done we must confine ourselves to elementary principles that govern money. Civilization without money is impossible. No progress whatever has been made toward civilization without the use of some medium of exchange. The individual by himself however btroni; he may be, cannot become civilized or maintain civilization. The most intelligent and strongest men am on est us, isolated iu the wilderness, is comparatively unable to maintain civilization. We must avail ourselves of the efforts, labors and intelligence of others. There must be an interchange of commodities. In early times and among the savages efforts hare been constantly made to obtain some medium of exchange. The people of some nations have had cattle, and others grain, and others shells, and the Chinese had the bark of the mulberry tree tamped in a peculiar way. The Africans have various kinds of trinkets. Nations have tried lead, iron and copper, but finally all civilized and semi-rivilizeJ nations' have decided on silver. Tbe use of silver is prehistoric. The first we hear of the use of silver is as money. Gold was first used as an ornament Uy and by we find cbl is used as money. The two metals are peculiar. They ar imperishable. Nothincan destroy them. Their qualities are entirely similar. Consequently the two metals, jrold and silver, are termed the precious metals. For 3.000 years or more they nave been the metals out of which money could be manufactured. Now, I say as long as a dollar can be manufactured out of a given quantity of silver or a given quantity of gold it makes Pitcher's Castorlc.

no difference to the owner what bullion he bas. With either be can get a dollar, and with that same dollar he can buy the same amount of labor or property. When Iiome rose to greatness and conquest she persistently gathered to herself the tre-.ure of the civiliztd world. The excavttions ia Spain bear testimony to-uny of mining operations conducted 2,00ft years ago that exceed anything in modern times. Two thousand years has not been able to hide the land-marks which she then made in the search for gold, or to ef'nce the history of the cruelty she perpetrated by her armies in enslaving men in the mines of Spain. l!ut as she went on accumulating gold, property was going up, the whole empire was employed during several centuries, and until the time of Augustus, when she was in the renith, it is estimated that she had from 1.S00 to L'.OOO millions of money, gold and silver in circulation in the Roman empire. She, besides this, had a vast amount of plate. T hen came internal dissentions. Mininir ceased, the empire was reut in twain, broke in fragments aud invaded. .Money was borrowed and lost. Rnd she kept growing poorer and poorer until the end of the seventh contury, when she had lost the great majority of it. The civilization of the world went on for 700 years, poverty and debts growing, ability to pay growing less all the time. No man hnd any courage in those days. No man could assert freedom and independence. Why, I tell

yon, there is nothing like scarcity of money. Toverty, inability to pay debts, inability to support a family, will make men cowards. Applaue.l The creation of the great middle classes of England was brought about by the discovery of cold in Mexico and South America. Free silver in Europe was the cause of the people having some money and becoming independent. The farmers of our country to-day, in consequence of the machinations of the money kintrs and the gold mono-metalists are logins? the independence of character for which they have been noted.' Applause. Their mortgages are making them cowards; there is nothing that makes a man a coward so quick as a mortgage on his farm and to have his creditors pressing him. Applause. I will not explain to you how this silver demonetization fraud was committed. I was in the senate when the bill passed. I did not know it, I had no means of knowing it. I did not know that any such scheme wan contemplated. There was no dLcussion in the senate not a word not a sugcestion in the senate that the dollar was to be omitted. There is nothing in the record of the t-enate to show how that dollar got out. The conferences of the committees don't show, but we find the fact to be that Miver was omitted, aud I call upon the people to explain how it occurred. It way have been a mistake. Who made the fraudulent dollar? The men who clandestinely pot the bill through and who seemed to take charpe of the fraud. A Ilelegate "Mr. Stewart, are the people bound by that fraud?" Mr. Stewart 'They are hound eslon? as they submit and no longer." Cries of hi, hi, and loud cheers. They are bound to that extent, and no more. This trick in the senate was played (or some motive. Let us trnce it back to see what that motive was. There was ö,0C0,fXt,0'Ki of national debt that we knovr of. It is estimated by statisticians that there is from three to five times as much other debt consisting of county, municipal and private debts of individuals and corporations, as national debt. Suppose this was only three times as much, that would make a hundred thousand millions of debt in all. When that debt wrts contracted the people had the right to rely upon the supply of money coming from the West. Two hundred millions of gold and silver was beintr manufactured in America. They had a right to rely ou that, and to make their calculations on that. Now this scheme cut oü one-half of the supply, and the debtor is bound by that contract. When you get in debt you sell money short, and you agree to deliver something that you have not got at the time. If it is a dollar you have contracted to deliver, you are, in the language of the street, cinched. We knew before the report was made what must be the result of the investigation in Europe. We knew the powers that were at work; we knew very well that the law of sujply and demand wouUt make the price of money go up and the price of property go down; we knew that all of us knew it. It did rot need any philosopher to tell you how it would be. The royal commission ascertained the fact and made it public. 1 hey ascertained it and put it in learned language, but all the same it is the fact. The world hits sulfered aud every age has snllercd, and nil have suffered everywhere exempt the bondholders. The whole world is sullering the satue as we are. Senator Stewart closed by urging that there be a plain demand uroa conjrrefs to reuionetize silver. No dallyiDg, no compromise, hut a straight demand. ".Meet the creditor face to faco:," he said, "for if you mustyHd to him your property you might as well do it now as in the future." St. Loris, Nov. 23. The delegates to the silver convention filed into the convention ball slowly this morning, it being known that the committee on resolutions was still engaged in its work of revision. Cht'rman Warner, in calling the conveutiou to order, stated that the order of business would he first the report of the committee on resolutions, but that any other business could be taken up while awaiting the pleasure of the committee. A resolution was otlered by Mr. Fitch of Nevada, providing for the appointment of a mftional silver committee, which should be empowered to call another national silver convention and provide for the election of delegates thereto; also that the said national silver committee be empowered to provide for the organization of btate and national silver lengups for the promotion of the ohjectss of this convention.

Congressman Wand, chairman of the committee on resolutions, presented the following report: The National silver convention, held In St. Louis, Nov. 2"5. 27 and 'JH. PS;. aJotd this preamble and resolution as lis deliberate opinions: That the detuou tization ot silver has worked a practical violation of every contract then exitingiu the l'nite.1 Mates, entailed iincoui.t.'d 1ossb, reducer! prices mora thau IM) r.er cent., and its ellect Is practically to make debts perpetual, a it takes Iroru the debtor the ability to pay; that it causes contraction in the currency, wh.ch reduces the value until there ia no prolit lei f to the farmer, planter or men of Miia.l capital, who depend uj on the sale of products lor returns for their labor. That we believe the certificate of e''ernment, backed, dollar for dollar, by irnbt and silver coin, on their product in tho treasury of the I nited Males, is a sa:e and sound currt ucjr, and hn been.ai'provcd by the eO'le. That, consiili-riiiK the contrac tion caused by the surrender of national bnnk urtes dimr.g the past three years aud the at sums that must l co!lected by the cancellation of government bonds durin? tho next three years, the neecatity of restoring ilver is as inauifest as is the justice ot such a policy. That the gold and .-diver of tbe West, pouring in a steady stream upon tho Kast for forty y- nrs, vitalized every form of business there aud siemlfed and upheld the credit of the nation through the great war and tusJe resiiniptlon possible, and that what we now demand ii ai much mro to the Inteiest of the Kast than of the West, a the productions of the Kast exceed in value the productions of tha West. That wi! l-lieve in epial rights o ol-l and silver, and tree ci lnage for both, and tb:tt no nation ever had or ever wi.l have too much gold and silver coiu. Now, therefore, be it R -solved. That tbe Fifty-first concress be requested by this convention to provide ai Its firt session for open i i g: the mints of die I'uite l iabs to the free and unlimited coinage of standard silver dollars, of th present wii;hi and fiueiiess, to be lescal tfnder for ail debts, public or private, equal with gold, and that, until such a provision is made, the secretary of the tr.-aury te required to coin tu mnxiniunj two million dollars worth of silver per month, ai now authorized by law.

RESULT OF A GAME PRIZE FIGHT. McCarthy and Nolan, the Featherweights, Fisht on a Barge in t'ie Hudson and the For;nep Wins After a Red-Hot Fijht Lasting ltut Seven Hounds. New York, Nov. 27. About two hundred leading club men of this city witnessed tbe prize fight to a finish to-nijiht between Cal McCarthy of Jersey City and Mike Nolau of England for the feather-weight championship of the world. The men left this city early in the evening on a barge, where the rini was pitched, and the fight took place in Tappanzee Bay near Xyack on the Hudson. It was a fierce fight while it lasted, and was won by McCarthy in the peventh round. The men entered the ring at 8:38 p. m. McCarthy, who is twontv-two years old, and stands five fect four inches, weighing 1133 pounds, wa seconded by Tom Collins and Alex Gallagher. Nolan ia twenty years old, stands five feet three inches, and weighs 116 pounds. He was seconded by Jack Herley and Ed Bennett. Jack McMasters held tho time for McCarthy and Jimmy McCabe officiated in like capacity for Nolan. The fighi began at 8:40 p. m. Nearly every one present looked upon McCarthy as a eure and easy winner. Nolan was over-anxious and went at McCarthy fiercely from the very start. J I; led three times at McCarthy's fc.ee without landing. McCarthy adopted the Jack Dempsoy tactics and let his oponent do all tiie fighting, he devoting tia attention to dodging his opponent's blows. McCarthy watched for his chance and trusted to a blow when he caught his antagonist off his cuard. By this method he secured first blood before the close of tho round by planting a good right-hander over Nolan'e mouth. McCarthy was an rpiick as a cat in the second round in petting away from Nolan and avoiding punishment. He let Nolan do all the leading, and, like an old professional, waited for an opening, when he Mould iutiict severe punishment. It was very evident in the third round that McCarthy, knowing he had no easy task to perform, was holding back in order to let his opponent wind himself, although he never let slip an opportunity to try to get in a knockout blow. Nolan, however, was on the alert, and on several occasions avoided McCarthy's fierce swinging blows. The betting was jOO to S40 on McCarthy, and a number of beta at these figures were taken. Iking held so cheap infuriated Nolan so much that in the fourth round he forced the fighting and made matters so lively for McCarthy that he gained many friends and brought the betting down to $100 to $23 in favor of McCarthy. The latter was chased all over the ring, but still his admirers were of the opinion that their favorite was only working to wind hU opponent, who was panting freely while he apparently had plenty of wind. Nolan showed up in good shape in tho filth round and alter landing five straight left-handed leads on McCarthy without a return, the betting dropped down to$f0to SoO in favor of McCarthy, who still kept up the dodging tactic?, and just before the call of time got an opening and landed a vicious upper-cut on Nolan's right eye, which almost closed it. This raised McCarthy's stock again and made him a grea favorite. In the sixth round Nolan again forced the fighting, and followed it up to a great advantage. McCarty saw that it was do or die, so he braced up and fought his man almost to a stand-still. In fact he Mas so deeply interested in "doing" his man that he paid no attention to the call of time, but ran after his man and hit him in the face as he was returning to his corner. A t ry of "foul" was heard from all sides of the ring and there was great excitement. It was some time before peace could be restored. Then tho referee, a sporting man of New York City, to the astonishment of every one, made the announcement that there had lecn so much noise that McCartv had not heard the call of 'time." This decision was received with a groan. The seventh and last round was a short one. It lasted just one minute and three seconds. Both men forced the fighting. McCarthy iinally ended the battle by a swinging left-hander on Nolan's right jaw, filling his mouth with his teeth. Nolan was not knocked out, but threw up one hand for McCarthy to stop, and spit his teeth out into the other hand. The iiyht was then given to McCarthy. WHILE THE CAPTAIN WAS DRUNK.

The interet in ihe corn market Mas again at fever heat when the trading commenced, but it soon became evident that the principal shorts for tlm month had Kettk-d, and no buyers could be found at fancy prices after the first few trades had been made. November was the featureof chief speculative interest for a time and fo!1 to a limited extent on the open market at t0. It was said 000,000 to 700,000 bu. had been settled privately at that flexure. A firm having 000 bu. of contract corn in store offered to sell at 0c but could find no buyer until it had been offered down to 50c. One or two 5,000 bu. lota were sold at the latter fiirure, and then buyers of car-loads In-gan 1 gathering up the cash ofhrings and Polling them in the speculative market and kept doing so until the price had declined to 32c. In the meantime, before the dv-clino referred to in the Novenibor delivery had been consummated, the 1 eceinber shorts had started to cover their contracts, seeing the danger they ran with so small a quantity of No. 2 corn held in store, and from :!1 ü31 Je early the price advanced to ."iMc. Then as November weakened it sold down to 31 Jc, again recovered slightly to "A ir, and once more declined until it sold at 31Jc and finally closed at SllSljlc.
