A CLEVELAND CONVENTION.
The Wisconsin Delegates Instructed
for the Ex-Presjdent.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 6.-The
Democratic State Convention yester
day elected twenty-four delegates to
the Chicago Convention. The dele
cation was instructed for Cleveland
and will be one of the most enthusi-
astic bodies in the convention for the
ex President, as the Democrats of
Wisconsin are among Cleveland's
warmest admirers. The delegation
Is headed by Senator William F. Villas.
Mr.. Cleveland's right-hand man and
former POstmaster-General and Sec
retary of the Interior The other
members are Gen. Edward S. Bragg,
who nominated Mr.. Cleveland in 1884
and was for time Minister to Mexi-
co; Edward c. Wall, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
and untlring in his efforts to have
Mr.. Cleveland renominated, and Col.
John I'll. Knight, an enthusiastic
Cleveland man There was fight
between Theo. Kersten, of Chiffon,
and Col Knight for the delegateship,
and Mr.. Kersten was defeated by a
few votes. The latter was the candi-
date of the Germans, and they are
somewhat dissatisfied on account of
his defeat.
While the delegation is solid for
Cleveland, if his nomination becomes
impossible, they will work and vote
in the convention for the nomination
of Senator Villas. There in consider
able talk of Villas in the hotel lobbies
and the impression is general that
he would be the most available can
didate in case Cleveland cannot be
nominated.
The delegates are very friendly to
Governor Boise, and if Cleveland is
nominated will support the Iowan
for the NicePresidency. The con-
ventiOn went wild over the mention
of the names of Cleveland, Villas and
Bragg. No Hill sentiment was de-
veloped, and the New York Senator
will get no support whatever from
this State
Mr. Villas read the platforom, tie
financial plank being as follows:
We maintain that the true interests
of the people demand sound, honest
and stable money, composed of or
based on and redeemable in gold and
silver coin of equal intrisic value We
therefore oppose the project oil un-
limited coinage of silver dollars of
less commercial value than gold dol
lars as undemocratic, dishonest and
specially hurtful to the farmers and
laboring classes, the first and most
defenseless victims of unstable mon
ey and fluctuating currency.
We denounce Republican legisla-
tion on this subject, more particular
ly the Sherman act of 1890, as a
cowardly make shift and an inexcus-
able waste of the national resource
in the purchase and storage of tons
of bullion per day, and as menance
to the maintenance of a sound and
stable currency, and We demand the
repeal of that act.

The Dixon Interview.
From the State Chronicle.


NEW YORK, May An your issue
of Sunday you state that Rev. Thos.
Dixon, of this city, repudiates the
interview with him on the South
published in the New York Press of
some weeks ago and criticised by
Southern newspapers. | have not
seen his denial of the interview, but
| desire to say that he was correctly
reported. If he was misquoted as
you say he states, why did he not
complain to the Press, Republican
paper of which he spoke in high
terms to me at the time of the inter-
view. | am sure that if Mr.. Dixon
had complained to the Press he
would have been ''set straight"
But he says nothing until the North
Carolina newspapers criticIse him
and what he then says in denial of
the interview reaches only Southern
people. He repudiates this inter
view in the South, but he lets it pass
in the North. Some of my North
Carolina friends have written TO me,
asking if | had misrepresented Mr..
Dixon, and but for such letters |
should not notice the matter.

A Brute Can Assume ANY Form.

LONDON, May Mrs. Clark, wife
of carman, was arraigned yester-
day for causing the death of her
nine-year-old stepdaughter by cruel
treatment. The evidence showed
that the little girl had often been
tied to the balusters and kept there
seven hours at time. She was Of
ten beaten with a strap or heavy
stick, and sometimes her tongue was
tied with string and she was left
for hours in torture. The coroner s
inquest developed the fact that the
girls body was mass of bruises
and sores, and that she had not had
sufficient food. Clark was censured
by the magistrate for permitting the
cruelty and the stepmother was held
for trial on the charge of manslaugh-
ter. The newspapers comment on
the case as resembling that of Mrs.
Montagu.

ENGAGEMENT WITHOUT GLOVES
Two Statesville Young Men Fight a
Duel With Bare Hands.

STATEsvILLE, May 5.-Statesville
saw its first duel last night. Two
valiant young gentlemen, attended
by their sc econds, met just in the rear
of the old cemetery, by appointment
and engaged in a two-round fist
fight. The party who sent the chal-
lenge seems to have been the success
full contestant on the bloody field.
The seconds interfered at the end
of the second round in time to pre-
vent any serious damage and it was
supposed all parties are now thor
oughly satisfied with the vindication
they have given their honor. Had
they only notified the public and
charged an admission they might
have had a large crowd
The parties to the heengagement were
MIR. VIM. Pinkus and Mr.. Milton Nc
Corkle, the latter son of ex-Judge
NJ L. McCorkle, of Newton, now a
clerk in Statesville hardware store.
They had quarrelled and McCorkle
had applied to Pinkus an approbious
epithet. Hence the challenge Mr.
E. Morrison was Mr.. Pinkus' second
and Mr.. Bob Flanagan Mr.. McCork-
les. The combatants are about the
same age and weight, but Pinkus is
the taller and the longer armed and
thus got away with his plucky antag-
onist. After the fight they shook
hands and smoked cigarettes, and
Pinkus, who had providently taken
with him to the bloody field a piece
of beef to bind upon his wounds,
turned it over to his late enemy. The
duelists went to different drug stores
and had themselves patched up.

Fighting the French Press Laws.

PARIS, May 6.-The Conservative
and Republican organs are urging a
modification of the press laws that
will enable government to prevent
the publication of articles melting to
crime. The journal Des Debats and
the Temps strongly support the pro
posal to change the laws, and ex-
press the hope that at any rate the
government will not oppose a private
bill that will be introduced in the
Senate to effect the desired end. The
revolutionary papers are indignant
at the proposition. They declare it
is reactionary attempt of the Con-
servatives and Republicans to gag
the press.
