land, Senators Hill and Gormsn n,
Governors Flower, Campbell, Boies,
Pennoyer, and other distinguished
Democrats.
Governor PenDoyer regrets his in
ability to be present. He congratu.
lates all Democrats upon the fact
that our party representatives in
congress kuve unmistakably maui
tested "A laudable purpose to follow
the example of illustrlous Jackson
by waging our unrelenting warfare
OF all unjust financial legislation.
The Sherman act of 1890 provides
that certificates issued under its pro-
visions shall be legal tender for all
debts, public aud private, except
when otherwise stipulated In the
contract. There never was In the
whole history of the civilized world
such u humiliating concession by
any nation to the money power as
was granted by this provision,
which was Incorporated IN the
Bland act Of 1878, as we'll as in the
Sherman net of 1890. There Is no
iavoritism OF existing tariff laws 80
unjust and 80 far reaching IN its
detrimental results as this most In.
famohs concession u the creditor
class ofthe nation. The Democratic
house of representatives should not
only strike that provision from the
books which permits the
money loauer to demand payment
In gold coin, but 1t should incor-
ate In "a free bi.metalic coinage "a
provision that any contract stipula-
iion discriminating against any por-
tlon OF the national currency shall
be void. III the president dare to
veto such legislation his admlnlstra-
lion and his party will receive before
Lhe Ides of next November such IA
veto at the ballot box AZ the party
'ver before received.

'urned, charrtd and manned almost
'eyond recognition. No fire followed |
he explosion, at least there were
10 signs of any, and there is known
y be live men entombed In the tun-
el behind the fallen boulders. The
escurers can hear faint knocklngs
nd hr.oT shouting. They are
lgglng In the direction whence
he sounds come and hope TO res
ue some alive. The wreck about
he mouth Of the mine and the
ottom Of the holstlng shaft Is SO
early complete that the work is
readfully slow. All the bodies in
lain view have been brought to the
lrface, but there are others partly
idden under boulders aud masses of
chris.
The cause of the explosion Is stlll
undetermined. The probability Is
lat some miner fired u blast with.

'cumulated gus or coal dust.
