A Political Side Issue.

CHICAGO, June 20.-At the afternoon
session of the American prohibition
convention, a platform was adopted
which declares that the God of the Chris
tian scriptures is the author of civil gov
ernment; favors the use of Bibles in
schools asserts that God requires and
man needs the Sabbath; demands strict
prohibition laws; the withdrawal of all
charters to secret lodges, and that their
oaths be prohibited by law; opposes
prison and imported contract labor;
favors revision of the patent laws /;
pledges the party to vote for women suft.
rage; asserts that the civil equality
granted by the 18th, 14th and 10th
amendments should be extended to the
Indians and Cinnamon; that information
al differences should be settled by arbi.
tration; that land and other monopolies
should be discouraged; that the govern
ment should furnish sound currency;
that the tariff should be reduced as fast
as the necessary revenue and vested
business interests will allow; that polyg-
amy should at once be suppressed, and
that the Republican party is censurable
for the long neglect Of its duty IN respect
to this evil, and demands direct vote
for President and Vice-President of the
United States. The preamble adopted
by the National Christian association, in
1875, was also adopted. The convention
then proceeded to nomination for Pres
ident of the United States. S. G. Pome.
roy, of Kansas, Governor St. John, of
the same State, and Rev. J. Blanchard,
of Illinois, were named. Of the II votes
cast, Pomeroy received 70, and the NOM
ination was made unanimous. For Vice
President, J. A. Conant, of Connecticut,
was nominated by acclamation.

The Roar For Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The feeling
among the Democrats here in favor of
Governor Cleveland is very strong. Not
few Democratic Congressman express
the opinion that the Chicago Convention
will be scarcely more than formal ratl.
fication of the nomination of Cleveland.
Unless something occurs meantime to
check the Cleveland swell, it is believed
that he will be nominated practically by
acclamation, and that the Convention
will complete its work in one day. So
strong is this impression in the minds of
some that several Senators who had in.
tended going to Chicago, to-day declared
it not worth while to take the trip, sim.
ply to join in one hurrah and then dis
perse.
Georgia, Michigan and Maine have
chosen Cleveland delegations to Chicago,
and even some of those who antagonized
the Governor at the recent New York
Convention have fallen into line for him.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, says it looks
as if Cleveland would be the man.
Georgia has disappointed the Bayard
men. In the estimates Of the probable
strength of the Delaware Senator Geor-
gia was counted for number of votes,
but the Convention, while not instructing
for anybody, clearly indicated prefer
ence for Cleveland.
The friends of Bayard and of McDon'
aid also now acknowledge that neither
of them will stand any chance whatever
if the New York delegation shall deter
mine to support Cleveland. If that del
egation should refuse to back the Cover
nor. then it will be free-for all fight.
Friends of Mr.. Morrison now urge
him strongly for second place on the
ticket with Cleveland. They say it will
be necessary to have q Union soldier from
the West if Cleveland shall be nominal
ed.
Congressman Theodore Lyman says
that the probable decision of the, 1nde'
pendents in Massachusetts, will be to vote
the Republican State ticket with the
Democratic electors az the head provided
that the Democratic nominations at
Chicago are acceptable.
The chairman of the Dem ocratic dele.
CATION to Chicago from Virginia is re.
ported this morning as saying that that
State will probably vote for Cleveland.
This would be gain.

THE LATEST COUNTERFEIT.
Glass Dimes That Ring Liko Silver.

"That's no good" said the clerk, in
the presence of reporter, as he showed
a 1O.cent piece back across the counter
of Broadway restaurant.
eyes, it is," said the man, who picked
it up aud again laid it down: ringing it
as he did so.
The man behind the counter picked
the token up, laid one edge of it on the
counter, holding his thumb and fore.
finger on the other and, with a quick
pressure, broke it in two in nearly
straight line, which left about two even
halves. The man looked on in stupid
astoni.Iment and picked up one of the
pieces. The broken edge did not look
like glass, but its texture showed readily
that it was friable and not malleable.
"Now I'll show you," said the man, as
he picked up little hammer and gave
the half lying on the counter couple OF
quick whacks. 1t was pulverized as If it
had been hammered in mortar, and
showed only bits OF brittle, broken SUBJ
stances, glass.like in all respects except
color. The particles were dead lead
color, and the still unbroken half showed
a date of 1855, Indicating that the couu.
terfeiters had, on account of its dead
color, decided to take an old instead of a
recent date.
These coins have been made to weigh
and ring so like silver that it is impos-
sible to tell to what extent they have
been circulated, and doubtless many
have passed through many hands with
out having created any suspicion. Mar
KEN Bros.5 who handle enormous quan.
titles of silver of all sorts, said they had
seen two samples. The coins are made
in all grades, and the samples they sa"
were both standard dollars. One of the
brokers was trailing fstful of dollars
from one hand to the other when his eye
caught the milled edge of the coin,
which looked thicker than its predeces'
sors and successors. Picking it out, be
found that the milling was not quite SO
distinct as it should be, and the coin had
dead look, but answered correctly to
the touch. He threw it out and refused
to take it, returning it to his customer
A few days afterward man came in

his finger ends. TIE edges looked like
those Of lump of mica, or sheeded lsln;
glass, as they are found by geological

be could only guess, and has never met
any one who could suggest a method by

with glass so as to give true weight and
the right ring. The glass is evidently
intended to make the ring correct, and
yet it must be thoroughly mixed with
the metal or it could not be broken with
the pressure of thumb. The secrets of
the counterfeiters are not known to the
smelters nor are they to the glass. work
ers, and neither can understand how
there can be all amalgamation or fusing.
The bad metal, according to that, must
be sumo comparatively new discovery.
Glass weighs only one.tenth that of sill
yer, and DO base metals approach the
weight of silver, so that oil are puzzled.

Tie Corruption Fund.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-One mission
of the Republican party has been to teach
the use Of money in politics. Dorsey's
new two dollar bills carried Indiana and
elected Garfield. Arthur eulogsed
"soap" as the most potent weapon in
political warfare. Jay Hubbell was the
most advanced tactician in this line and
devised the famous death warrant cilcu-
lars by which hundreds of thousands of
dollars were wrung from government
employees for the last congressional cam
paign. 1t has become the fashion of late
for Republican leaders in Congress to
decry the use of money in elections and
to denounce the good old assessment
plan. Some of them have gone to the
point of denying that such extortions
were ever made. More than once this
bare. faced assertion has fallen from Re-
publican Congressman on the floor of
the house. The old blackmail methods
have been fully exposed and abandoned
but it must not be supposed on this &C.
count that the Republicans will not have
an ample campaign fund. They are
compelled to bestir themselves with
unusual vigor because most of the liberal
campaign contributors were welded to
Arthur's cause and are offended at
Blaine's nomination. The sources which
responded most literally in 1880 cannot
be relied OIL this year. Wall street is
ayerse to Blaine. Gould may help him
out, but not to the extent he aided Gar
field when he gave 100000 and arranged
for the appointment Of Stanley Matthews
to the supreme court. The horde of
officeholders is to be depended on for the
bulk of the fund for this campaign. The
Blaine clubs which are being organized
all over the country are to act as collect
ing societies. Circulars are now being
prepared at the Republican headquarters
in Washington to be printed by the
thousand and sent to every official urging
him to special interest in the approaching
campaign. These circulars will not be
couched in the stern language of the
Hubbell levy but will be so worded as to
make the impression that it is best for
the federal officeholders to "ante."
Blaine's plan is to make vigorous cam
paign in every State which can be con.
sidered doubtful, and into these States
the corruption fund is to be poured.
The more doubtful the State the more
money it will receive. With all the
restrictions of the so called civil service,
and with the additional legislation on the
question of campaign assessments, it is
impossible to prevent the accumulation
of great fund to buy votes for the
Republican party. Its managers know
how to get money and they will have it.
They elected the last presidential ticket
with money and mean to try to elect
Blaine and Logan by the same means.

Moses at His old Tricks.

A few days ago a man giving the name
of DR.. Warren, of Philadelphia, but af-
terwards changing it to James K. Law.
renee, of Dover, Del, was arrested in
Chicago on charge of obtaining money
by false pretences from TIVE or three
physicians Of that city. He proves 10 be
the notorious ex Governor Moses, of this
State. We take the following from the
Chicago Tribune:
J. B. Warren claimed to be delegate
TO the late Convention from Terre Haute.
He acted also as representative Of
Photographic establishment which en-.
larges pictures. He secured orders and
collected on the same about 500. War
rem entered the Office of DR.. j. II. Hol-
lister and introduced himself as DR..
Morton, from Philadelphia. He chatted
pleasantly with the Chicago physician,
and before leaving the office asked DR..
Hollister to lend him S25 to help him
back to Philadelphia, when he would
promptly forward the money. DR.. Hol-
lister soon discovered that he had been
duped in lending the money and swore
out warrant for his arrest. Warren
was caught and brought before Justice
Foote, who continued the case in $500
bail to June Is. While in the armory
lookup Warren was identified by DR.. j..
Adams Allen, Of No. 125 State street, as
the man who beat him out of SIT last
week on the representation that be was
DR.. Morton, of Philadelphia, and the
prisoner was booked on the second charge.

another necessity that ought to be low in

In reference to the outrage COM
mltted upon the citizens of Henry
county who met in the Town Hall
to hear the Hon. 1. G. Fowler speak,
the Martinsville Herald says:
"The hall was filled to hear Mr..
Fowler, and he had proceeded ten
minutes or more with a telling
speech, when some one let loose a
bag of Sulphuretted hydrogen gas,
with the evident purpose of break
ing up the meeting, the effect of
which was to clear the building
the poisonous fumes being not only
intensely disagreeable, but danger
Gus in the extreme. 1t was the
most disgraceful act ever perpe-
trated on a Martinsville audience,
and was enough to bring shame
and regret upon our citizens, ire
spective of party. 1t was strongly
denounced by Republicans, of
course, and Democrats as we'll.
An effort was made by the grand
jury Tuesday to indict the guilty
party or parties, but it could not
be done for lack of evidence"
