The Silver Question Handled at Some
Length--Tarif Reform and Gov. Camp
BELLS Administration Endorsed.
CLEVELAND, July 15.-[Special. THE
committee on resolutions had lively time
last night. 1t was early this morning be-
fore the members left the committee room,
| The following was submitted by L. T.
Dunn, of Findlay:
| "Whereas, by reason OF the contraction
OF the volume of the currency and the
l rapid increase of population there is not
| sufficient money to meet the demands of
the people, and in addition by reason of
the pernicious policy and legislation Of
the party in power about 60 per cent Of
the entire circulating medium OF the coun-
try has passed into the hands Of the few to
the detriment of the many, thereby still
further reducing the amount in actual cir
culation until almost every branch Of bus
mess throughout the entire country de-
mands some permanent measure OF re-
lief; and
"Whereas these conditions cause and
will continue to maintain a constant in
crease of Indebtedness with a high rate of
interest while at the same time decreasing
the ability to pay and

sition in the finance question really dis.
eliminates against silver and recognizes
the gold standard while giving to the Sec
retary of the treasury the power to sus-
pend the coinage Of the silver dollar at
his own discretion, we therefore denounce
the law as unwise, discriminating and in
tending to deceive the masses, and there
fore for the general welfare of the whole
people we demand and pledge ourselves
by their cooperation to give them in its
stead the free coinage of silver from
American mines (which alone is not a suf-
ficient relief and in addition further
increase of the volume of honest money
on q gold and silver basis until we shall
have a circulating medium sufficient to
meet all the requirements of business"
The resolution appeared to meet the
sentiment of the committee.
Upon tariff there was no disposition TO
waver. The stand which the Democratic
party took at its last national convention
was indorsed. The issue of tariff reform
is clear and defined.
The administration of Gov. Campbell
was indorsed.
The persecution of the Jews in Russia
was denounced and sympathies extended
to the abused people.
The billion dollar Congress was con.
demned.
There was warm and hearty discus
sion upon the subject of closer CONNER
cial relationship with Canada, and it was
indorsed.
Non.partisan boards for the govern
ment of benevolent institutions of the
State were recommended.

which made extensive preparations for

it need not be expected. The announce

IS BOSS QUAY AFRAIDP
EFrom the New York world.l

lrEOul tu6 new 1Olh hOTlutl
Boss Quay says that if Mr.. Herbert
Welsh of Philadelphia, or any other
Free-Trader, has any proofs that he un.
lawfully invaded the State Treasury he
would be delighted to have the said
proofs placed on exhibition.
Has Mr.. Quay forgotten that The
World has cordially invited him into
court upon an explicit promise to fur
nish all the proofs that may be requir-
ed? Is he rot also aware that if inno--
cent he has only to ask Senator Gamer
on, Wayne MacVeagh and Christopher
L. Magee to tell the truth? They know
the facts. Mr.. Quay alone can unlock
their lips by removing the seal of con-
fidence.
If he is not guilty, as Mr.. Welsh and
several hundred other Philadelphia Re-
publicans have recently charged over
again that he Is, he has the two meth
DDS of yindication always open to him !:
He can sue The World and recover am
pie damages, or be can invite the three
eminent Republicans above named to
state what they know.
Why does not Boss Quay put his de-
NAL to the test of evidence?

P1oUs MR.. wANAMAKER IN IT.
(New York World y


The keystone Bank issued false
stock and received deposits after it
knew itself to be inSolvent. The Bank
Examiner failed to report the true state
of affairs, and when the crash came in
nocent persons were injured.
Mr.. WanamakeT, Postmaster General
of the United States, withdrew his de-
posts before the crash, and after the
crash is found in possession Of large
amount Of the fraudulent stock.
The Bank Examiner being Mr.. Wan
amaker's friend the inference is that he
informed his patron of the danger
ahead and thereby enabled him to withS
draw his deposits while Others were al
lowed to rush on unwarned to destruc-
ton.
AS to the fraudulent stock, Mr.. Wan
amaker himself states that he knew
that it was fraudulent before the bank
collapsed and threatened to disclose it
if settlement was not made with him.
Here then, by confession or inference
is a Cabinet officer knowing of the vio-
latlon of Federal statute and conceal
ing that knowledge to subserve his own
personal gain. The investigation of
such conduct is Cabinet question.

A NEW YORK IDEA.
CFrom New York world.)

The Democratic party of Ohio will
do well to let the silver question severe.
ly alone in the approaching State con-
vention. Silver is not a party question.
1t may be used to divide the Demo.
cratic party, but it cannot possibly be
made to help it. Tariff.tax reform,
economy in expenditures, home rule
and holding the McKinleyites RESPONSE
BILE for the criminal extravagance of
the Billion Dollar Congress--are the
issues upon which the Democracy must
inevitably win, and it will win upon
them in Ohio as we'll as in the Union.
