THE SILVER MEN.

CHICAGO, June 81. = The silver
states held another caucus to-day,
and in view of Senator Germans re.
fusal to permit the use of his name
as candidate for the presidency,
decided to cast their vote for Gov
ernor Horace Boies, of Iowa. A
subcommittee was appointed, head
ed by ex-senator Thomas Patterson,
of Colorado, for the purpose of pre-
senting the silver views of western
delegates to the committee on reso-
lutions. 1t was furthermore decided,
in case the platform committee re-
fuse to recommend free coinage BIZ
metallic plank, that an appeal should
be taken to the convention.
There was much talk among dele.
gates present at the conference of
throwing the support of the silver
states to the peoples party IN case
the democratic convention should
not comply with the demands of the
silver interests, and it is probable
that representatives of the silver
states will wait upon the convention
of that party at Omaha, July A, with
that purpose in view.

HILL HASN'T wIrHDRAwN.

WASHINGTON, June ol.-Much has
been printed and said of late in the
nature of gossip representing the in
tentions of Senator David b. Hill,
and among other things it was said
that some of his friends have been
charged to withdraw his name from
the contest for the democratic presi-
dental nomination. 1t can now be
stated as fact that Hill has not
Withdrawn and does not propose to
withdraw. He may be beaten but
he will never surrender. He will
fight it out to the end.

LATE NEWS.
LATEST FROM CHICAGO.

There was not very much done at
the Chicago convention today. Mills
of Texas was in great demand, but
was too ill to address the convention.
1t is hardly probable that ballot
will be taken tonight, as the silver
advocates are trying to get silver
plank in the platform, which will
necessitate long and tedious debate.

Yesterday afternoon a double team
was initiated into the Royal Arch
chapter, and at $3.50 p. m. about 80
Masons sat down to supper in honor
of the event. About 8 o'clock their
friends and families began pouring
into the X. of p. hall, determined to
spend an enjoyable evening, which
they fully succeeded in doing. One
hundred couples stripped the light
fantastic" and were whirled and lost
in the mazes of the polka, lancers,
quadrille and waltz. Mr.. and Mrs.
o. L. Gregory, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.

performed their duties with grace
and dignity, and r. L. M. Ross,
George II. Marshall, Frank b.

floor committee, We're kept busy all
the time. The floral decorations
were beautiful, the refreshments ex-
cellent, and without doubt it was one
of the best Masonic sociables ever
held in the city. The ladies of the
Eastern Star cleared about $4O,which
will go towards furnishing their new
hall.

r Atauthl1 Vi bne 4mHlacuiate OOf
ception, last night. The stage wa
tastefully decorated with the work D
the pupils and everything was il
keeping with the occasion. Tht
program was carried out in full anC
each member was received with ap
J plause. The instrumental music wal
all good and pleasing. The voca
duet by Misses Stapp and Romero
was well rendered. May Young, 4
child about years of age, recited
"Grandma's Angel" beautifully.
Graceful in her gestures and distinct
in her pronur citation, she held the
attention of the entire audience and
retired from the stage amid hearty
applause.
The comedy, GA Worlds Affair." u
was splendid. Each one carried
well the part assigned her aud the
march through which Columbia led
her body guard of states and the va
rlous countries, was a marvel of skill
and beauty. The intricate figures
were all carried out without break.
The entiIe school took part in this
and deserve great credit for so pleas.
ing a feature in the program.
They were repeatedly and loudly APP
plauded as they marched off the
stage. The Las Vegas band de-
lighted the audience with several
selections. The crowns for literary
merit were awarded to Misses Katie
Stapp and Lucia Romero, and be-
slowed by the Rev. Father Coudert.
Miss Romero's essay on "Many Men
Of Many Minds" was very good.
Her words were we'll chosen and the
production showed careful research
and study. Miss Romero read clearly
and was attentively listened to by
all Miss Katie Stapp, being the
valedictorian, appropriately chose for
her subject, "Drifting Apart" She
handled her subject well, and by
various appropriate illustrations
showed how in life, "like ocean sands
we drift apart" Her essay was well
read and received merited applause.
The gold medal for department was
drawn for by Misses Teresa Lopez,
Francis Robledo, Margarita Pender-
ais and Katie Doyle, the latter draw
ing the lucky number. The
gold medal for diligence was
drawn for by Misses Katie
Stapp, L. Romero, Belle Wilcox,
Juliana Lopez, Il. Lopez, X. Doyle,
F. Robledo, P.Valdez and M. Papin.
Miss Katie Stapp wears the medal.
Mr. Rudolf addressed the audience
in English, giving a short history of
the convent, and speaking of the
advantages of such an institution in
our midst. His words were well
chosen and he was loudly and re-
peatedly applauded. Rev. Father
Grom, the parish priest, made appro-
pirate remarks in Spanish. This
closed the exercises, and all left feel
ing that it was to them an evening
well spent, and congratulating tie
pupils upon the success they have
achieved and the sisters upon the
encouraging TaRlts of their labors.

THE A US7RALIAN BALLOT LAW

THE A US7RALLAN BALLOT LAW
The Australian ballot law seems to have
worked so well In Maryland that those who
were most active in opposing it at the start
have nothing to say against it. No polti-
can would have the temerty now To pro.
pose its repeal. On the contrary, the coun
ties WHICH asked TO be excused from adept
ing 1t two years ago have fallen into line as
TO its utility, and the law will in all proba
bility be made uniform before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature.
In sort of fear, however, two years ago
that this balloting system would rslegate
somebody or something to the rear, good
many conditions were sngrafted upon the
adoption OF the original law enacted at An.
napols. Such being the case, the law needs
amendment at several points before II will
be worked without jar or friction.
This is not TO be wondered at when 1t is
taken into account that the Australian sys

part of it superimposed upon nominating

pending should not frlghtsn any one, pro.
vided only that they are aimed at the actual
improvement of the system and are not
measures designed to weaken 1t and ad.
vance the ends of the professional politician.
The amendments proposed should there
fore be carefully examined in committee,
and should be discussed openly In the Leg
stature BY all means let the system be
improved where it is defective, but let every
amendment made be actually in the direc
lion of harmonious development.

ANY MAN WHO CAN WIN.

1t is depressing that the "any man who
can win" idea still prevails TO a considera
BILE extent among the rural Democratic
press. The thought dses not strike one
favorably. 1t carries the impression OF a
sacrifice of principles for the sake of the
spoils that go with victory. 1t suggests a
machine powerful enough to force the
"floaters" into line rather than argument
and integrity which attract the better element
Of voters. 1t seems to mean victory in any
event, and the possession Of the offices al
any cost The idea conveyed is antagonist
ic to the principles Of pure government, it
is menace to henest elections and retiec
ton upon the sincerity and high purpose Of
the Democratic party.
The declaration as properly amended
would be, "The principles that deserve to
win," and this is the battle cry that will
rally the hosts. There are radical reforms
needed in our government-evls whose
roots penetrate to the very heart Of per-
sonal liberty--and il is these. and not men,
that are the centre of public interests. We
are making millionaires by statute while
poverty is spreading on every hand as re-
suit of the unequal distribution; we have
trusts, born of prohibitive taxes, increased
prices, lowered wages and thousand other
wrongs that have their existence in false
system OF public economy.
These evils the Democratic party has
taken upon itself TO correct 1t has no other
reason for its existence than guardianship
Of the best interests of the people, and If il
should succeed in electing Its candidate
without fulfilling these promises the result
would be defeat. 1t is principles that are al
issue, and the election Of any man who Is
not fully and prominently in accord with
the principles Of the party would be not
only defeat, ii would be defeating ourselves
The only man who can win for the Democ.
racy is one who is firm in the faith of tariff
reform.
