bill in chancery has been fled with
County Clerk Webster by Attorneys
Gotf & Cady, for Ames J. McClung,
trustee, against the st. Mary's Falls
Water Power Company. The bill fore
closes the mortgage on the company's
right-ofway bonds. The amount
claimed to be due is $46,-
5000, of which $2l 900 is held by the
three banks in this city and the balance
by parties at La Crosse, Milwaukee
and Chicago Of the $21 900 the First
National has 5000, 500 National $1,000
and the 500 Savings Bank $4,000. The
canal cannot be sold for one year. The
bondholders only want their money,
and as there has been default in the
interest, this was their only resort.
By this transaction the local
stockholders are shut out entirely, I'M
less they can pay off the mortgage.
The company has one year for redemp-

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Sept 29.-The
Republican State Convention was
opened this afternoon, with nearly
800 delegates present. There being
no opposition to Chief Justice
Joseph c. Helm, his denomination
was made by reclamation. The plat
form heartily endorses the administra-
ton Of President Harrison. 1t favors
protection against every form Of con-
wet or servile labor, and reaffirms be-
lief in the Republican doctrine of pro-
lection to American industries. The
silver plank declares:
That the monetary condition of the world
during the last seventeen years has dem
onstrated that the demonstration of silver
stupendous blunder. and that blmetallism
is necessary to the welfare and prosperity
of all commercial people. We therefore,
in The interests of the working and
producing classes of all countries,
demand the full recognition of
silver as money metal by the
opening of the minis OF the United States
to the full and unlimited coinage of silver;
and we believe that such step by the gov
ernment of the United States will be fol-
lowed by q considerable number OF other
nations, and such course Will eStab-
llSb the ratio III SILVER ana SOlQ eAlStlnS
at the time Of the characterization of Sll-
yer by Germany in 1871 and the United
States in 1873. We denounce the pretense
now being made in certain sections OF
the country that the friends OF free Sill
yer are the advocates OF debaSed curren-
cy as untrue, but on the contrary we as
sert that there can be no no stable curren-
cy based upon either gold or silver alone
and this has been demonstrated by
tha history of the two money metals
for the past fifty years. Because we are
in favor of sound and stable currency,
we demand the use OF both gold and silver

gold or silver at the option of the govern
ment; and that every dollar. whether gold,
