Senator HIPS Views on SILVER.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, June 1S.-The fol-
lowing letter from Governor D. B. Hill
was received by Mr.. Charles z. Holiday,
Jr., of this city, proprietor Of the Kan
sas Democrat, and Worlds Fair Commits
sioner for Kansas, in December last.
1t contained some matters of a quasi
personal nature, and hence Mr.. Holiday
did not feel at liberty to publish it then.
1t makes it clear that Senator Hill, if
elected President, would not veto an
adequate free coinage bill, if passed by a
| Democratic Congress. The letter reads
as follows:
ALBANY, n. 7, December %, 1851.
To Charles X. Holiday. Jr.. Topeka,
K0nsa$::
DEAR SIR: For reply to your letter of
the oath, 1 enclose a reprint of my speech
at Eimira on the 5th, which I intend to
confirm and reiterate in a short farewell
address as Governor of New York next
Thursday, New Years Eve.
Ny faith is unsuitable in the sound
common sense of our fellow-countrymen.
| They well know that the Democratic
party at the present time is the sole eff
Gent instrument for tax reform and
monetary reform. They will not recon-
nit their interests to the Republican
party, which has just made both reforms
our supreme necessity. The Democratic
party might as well commit suicide as
shirk either duty. nor will it bctray the
peoples trust by allotting the executive
power to any man whose views are SINH
lar to the views of President Harrison,
and who is pledged, like him. to block
every approach to free bimetallic coin
age. 1t is a scandalous misuse of execu-
! tive power 20 employ the veto in prevent
ing remedial legislation from being care
fully planned and passed when so great a
majority of the peoples representatives
have been elected by the people expressly
for that very work-to repeal the Sher-
man silver law and to promote the re-
turn to free bimetallic coinage.
l am indignant at the rapacity of the
gold monomentalists, so reckless both of
science and of public opinion. Free bi-
metallic coinage is the demand oi a vast
majority of the American people. No
wonder it gave us the party of the silver
dollar and the gold dollar for eighty
years. Free bimetallic coinage is the
last work of monetary science. To re-
store it safely, wisely and finally is the
mission of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Harrison compels us to submit to
inaction during the present executive
term. That I hope may be the limit OF
our inaction. His friends believe thai
he is not a hypocrite. He will rot recant
or suppress his conscientious scruplcs to
get a second term. He and Mr.. Blaine
will fuss up an international conference
for delay. That is a state a%rtifice. One
consequence of our enforced inaction
will be that the financial portents and
threatened disasters fast approaching
will be seen by all to be caused by past
and present Republican wrongs. not by
future Democratic remedies.
Yours truly.
DAVID Z. HILL.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi.
ton of the mucous lining of the eusta:
chan tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can BE taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an in1amed condi
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol-
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh,
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrf

CHICAGO. June 19.-Gov. Tillman, of
South Carolina, called upon some of the
Cleveland managers tonight and told
them emphatically that if they presented
and nominated Mr.. Cleveland, he did not
believe the Democracy could carry South
Carolina. He further stated that he had
information from The Alliance people all
over the South that they would not vote
for Cleveland on account of his silver
views, but would vote for the Peoples
Party candidate for President. He
believed Cleveland's nomination would
cause the loss of twenty or thirty Con-
gressional districts in the Southern States,
which would give the House of Repre-
sentatives to the Republicans.

The convention assembled on Tuesday
and a storm descended. 1t was high
moon and a shadow crept up from the
North, the skylights III that direction
became clouded, the shadow grew larger
within the great hall and a hush crept
over the throng as a sense of an impend-
ing storm came upon them. Was the
roof again to be blown away? Would a
terrific wind come out of the growing
blackners? Was there danger? Would
there be peril in remaining? There came
a vivid flash of Lightning, while the re-
port of thunder reached the anxious
crowd. at length SO great was the outer
darkness that the news writers at their
desks were obliged to Pause. There was
not light enough for work. Quickly fol-
lowed the rafting of rain upon the roof,
and almost instantly a stream of water
flowed down through cracks in the cen
ter directly upon the heads of the New
York delegation. Umbrellas were hoisted
and the storm was on. A furious wind
quickly rose and the rain dashes con
tinued ten minutes. AS suddenly as the
storm had come it passed away and hight
flowed again within the great nall.
