THE NEVADA REPUBLICAN In.
srRUCTI0y.

We are glad that the Nevada Repub-
licsns in their State Convention at Vir-
sinla City last week instructed their
delegates TO Minneapolis TO stand bard for
a silver plank in their National platform
and q silver candidate. They will not
get either. but ID is right to stand for the
right at home. There is 3 good deal Of
uneasiness in Administration circles about
the attitude Of the silver States, and
these States are to be duly and profusely
tailed both in the platform and by HAr-
rison in his letter Of acceptance. There
will be talk in the platform and by the
candidate Of the enlarged use Of sil-
YER as fast as circumstances will war
rent, etc., but they are TO be the judges
Of the " circumstances" not the people
Of the West. All Of this will have ne
other meaning or purpose than a desire
TO deceive the people and bridge over the
sxigencies Of the campaign. II Cleveland

Convention about the same programme
will be followed, and 10 will mean NO
more than what the Republicans will do
At Minneapolis. But II we should hap
pen to get some other Democratic an
didate we might at the same time get an
honest platform. With Harrison and
Cleveland as the opposing candidates we
would not give ten cents for the chance
Of silver legislation in all the four years
beginning on the 4th OF March next.

The Democratic States are slow in Sc
their delegates 10 the National
Convention 81 Chicago. Up TO date we
have noticed no move In any Southern
State. The only States that may Be
clssssd 81 all - likely TO 90 Democrats
thai have held conventions are New
York and Indiana. The irst Of these In
strucssd for Hill and the latter agreed
upon a sort Of compromise between
Cleveland and Gray. In several Rspub-
loan States the Democrats have chosen
delegates without instructions. All OF
these, no doabt, 20 TO Chicago TO vote
for the most washable candidate. and 90
. rule will be found supporting . man
susside Of New York. The situation Is
therefore much slouded. There has
been little or no change in il in . fort
night. Certain IL is that Mr.. Cleveland
has made no hesdssy In that time. Ii
any difference, his splendid rush. which
seemed for . time 10 be sweeping every
thing before il, is at least at . stsndssill.
il not on the decline. The sober second
thoughs has begin 10 assert itself. and
when the delegates begin 70 reflect they
are apt 10 20 oussideof New York 10 sheiI
candidate o. the surest way Of avoiding
{. mistake. This naturally brings Palmer.
Boies and Gray into greater prominence
than ever. Either Of them stand . very
good show Of being struck By lightning.
In that case we would be very apt tc
have Whitney or Flower or Pattison OF
Russell on the other end Of the ticket.
Or putting the case in another form,
German and Gray would be quite &C
ceptsble 10 Democrats t~hroughsut th'
| country. To our mind Il looks like ths
convention would be bound to drop both
Hill and Cleveland. Indeed the story
comes from Washington that the Cleve-
land people are willing TO withdraw In
favor Of Whitney for fret place if the
Hill following will do the same thing.
Whitney Ia 3 clean man, and ID Is to be
said In his favor that he started up our
new Navy. but with this his claims &c
public consideration cease. On financial
matters and policies be would not differ
from Mr.. Cleveland. The West and
South do not want that sort Of man, and
they viii not be foolish enough TO accept
any candidate who does not meet their
views. There 10 no sense in seven.
Fights Of the Democratic party falling
down to one eighth Of that organization.
Hill and Flower come nearer being in &C.
osrd with the Democratic party gener.
ally than any other two prominent men
in the East. Flower has voted for free
coinage in Congress, and Hillhas spoken
for IL and voted with the silver men in
the Senate to knock an anti-silver pro-
vision out Of an Arizona bond bill. This
is more shan we have seen from any one
else over on the Atlantic seAboard. The
lull in the Cleveland boom 10 at least en-
c~oursging, and we may yet get q Demo
cratic candidate for President who rep
rssents his party.

LONDON, Aug. 27-Au night long the
volunteer parties kept up the work at the
Parksip Pit, the scene of the disastrous ex-
plosion in Wales yesterday. Al O'Clock
this morning they had penetrated 900 yards
into The mine shaft. In all this distance
not sign of life was discovered. Here and
there was q body of miner, but the attl-
tude invariably showed that death had
come suddenly Some of the men had died
in the very act of using their picks Ten
bodies were recovered OF men who did not
have seconds warning OF their fate The
bodies OF two men were discovered, how
ever, who had apparently made q frantic
sffort TO escape.
Later dispatches received at noon say
that while a band of rescuers were worh-
ing in the pit, sound was heard which
caused the men suddenly 10 Suspend,
Soon repetition of the sound was heard
1t was low and weak, but indicated that
there was life beyond the great wall of
rock and debris. The work of rescue is
now being pressed with Herculean energy.
AT half past oae this afternoon the DRIFT
was finally penetrated, and thirty nine
imprisoned miners rescued. The scene,
describable. Wives, sweethearts, sisters,
brothers and in some cases fathers and
mothers, were in waiting. frantic 10
see If their loved ones were among the
saved. The work Of clearing the galleries
is still being pushed in the hope OF saving
others.
One of the rescued miners said: ga
crowd OF US got together in the level after
the explosion. We could hear the flames
roaring through the mine. After time
we tried to get out, but were driven back
by sulphur fumes. Three men sought to
rush through, but LOST their lives, dying
where they fell, as it was impossible for US
to save them.
Late this afternoon another rescuing
party saved eight more imprisoned miners.
The volunteer rescuers claim to have sig
nailed another party of imprisoned men
who, by striking on the wall signaled that
there were fourteen OF them waiting to be
dug out.
1t is ascertained that most of the men
who were working near the shaft are
saved, and it is now doubted that any
others are alive. Some OF the rescued
miners thrillingly describe their struggles
in the darkness TO escape from the coal fall.
