The Work of the Minneapolis Con.
venGtOn.

venttOn.
We have before us a copy of the
Eureka Occasional" of June 18th,
issued by Hon. Thomas Wren. AS
one of the foremost Republicans of
Nevada, Mr.. Wren's views of the
"work of the Minneapolis Convention"
will be read with interest by our read
ers. Every word of it is true, and
we print it in full
"The net result of the Republican
Convention just adjourned is the NOM
nation of Harrison for President and
Whitelaw Reid, editor and principal
proprietor of the New York Tribune,
for Vice President, and the adoption
Of strong anti-silver plank in the
Republican platform.
s'The hostility of Harrison to silver
has been as bitter as was that of Cleve-
land during his administration, but
less manly and courageous, and there
fore more dangerous. What Cleve-
land tried to accomplish by open
methods, Harrison has attempted
against it by secret underhanded
means.
"Whitelaw Reid Haunted at the
head of the editorial columns of the
Tribune for more than a year the des-
picable lie, Gan eighty-6ve cent dol
lar" He is and always has been the
meanest enemy of silver in the United
States.
"What may ironically be termed
the "silver plank" in the platform was
intended no doubt to catch silver votes,
but in fact it squarely commits the
Republican party to the repeal of all
laws for the sale of silver to the Gov
eminent and its coinage, until the
bondholders and money-lending mil
lionaires of Europe pay us forty cents
an ounce more for our silver than they
have to do at present
"The means by which this result
has been brought about does not adj
NIT of doubt The price of mem
bers in the convention probably did
not range as high as the prices of men
did before the war.
s'Cleveland will be nominated at the
Chicago Convention by the very same
means, if the two-thirds rule don't
defeat him, and the scheme of the
gold bugs will have succeeded so far
as the nomination for President by the
Democratic and Republican parties
are concerned.
eff the Democrats at Chicago shall
fail to give us free coinage candidate
on an unequivocal free coinage plat
form, then there will be nothing left
for the people of the silver States to
do but to band themselves together
and support ticket of their own"

The mid-winter convention OF New York
Democrats was held in Albany. The com
mittee of so. appointed by the Cooper
union, OF New York city, to protest against
holding the convention at that time, was
not given an answer TO the protest by the
state committee. When the convention as

sweepngly denounced everything RepuD-
lican and affirmed for everything Demo-
cratic. The name of Senator ID. Il. Hill
was given as the choice Of the convention
for President and the delegates to the
national convention SO instructed. Senator
Hill made neat speech in reply TO the
honor.
The committee OF 80 held meeting at
which the convention was denounced and
it was voted 10 call convention on May

Blind Girl burned 10 Death.

Little Eva Sovey. aged seven years,
and blind was burned TO death in her
home at Bay City. The little girl and her
sick grandfather had been left at homo
alone. The child went to poke up the fire
in the coal stove when her clothing ig
nted. She did not know it until the fire
touched her body. Then she felt her way
to the bedside OF her grand father, who,
upon awakening from sleep. saw the child
in flames. Although hardly able to move,
he plunged out of bed, and tried to TN
loosen the child's garments but he was so
weak that he could not do it, He cried
for help. and woman living overhead
came TO the rescue. The fire was OK
tinguished and a doctor called. The
child's wounds were so awful that death
was welcome visitor.
A case resembling the foregoing hap
pened in the south end of the city at
about the same time. Mrs. Medor
Latrondas stepped out TO neighbours,
leaving her three children in the house.
Her youngest. aged 13 months, began
playing about the stove and its clothes
took fire. An older child, hearing the
little ones screams. ran into the house
and with pail of water cxtinguished the
flames. The little ones left side was
shockingly burned, aud death is likely TO
follow.

Emperor william Denounced.

The Twelfth street Turner Hall, at
Chicago was filled 10 overlooking with a
demonstrative crowd OF Germans who had
assembled TO listen TO speeches upon the
recent riots in Berlin. Addresses were
made; all spoke in the same strain. EN-
peror William was denounced In tho
strongest terms, and every time be was
scored tremendous shout OF approval
went up from the audience. Frequent
reference was made 10 the French revolu-
ton OF 1898, and il was declared
that the Germans were ripe for a
repetition OF that event in their own
country. What did it matter If blood was
spilled in the cause of liberty and right?
The hope was expressed that the fight al
ready begun would be continued until the
workingmen OF Germany would obtain
their rights. Mr.. Schultz said the riots
in Berlin were not an uprising for bread
merely, bat for entire freedom. The at
titude Of the Emperor had opened the eyes
OF the people and with well-directed Of
forts they would be able TO defy his au-
thority. A memorial 10 the Germans Of
Berlin was adopted. 1t extended to them
the sympathy and moral support OF the as
semoled worikingmen and citizens OF Chi
cago and urged them to keep up the fight

To DO Away with Rival.

A special from San Salvador gives new
version of the recent shooting of Gen.
Miguel Enriquez in Guatemala. The story
is told by opponents OF the present admin
istration in that country. They allege that
President Barrillas bore a spite against
Enriquez and in revenged issued secret
orders that he be shot at his hacienda I'M
der the pretext that he was the head OF a
revolutionary faction. The two brothers
OF Gen. Enrlquez, however, were informed
OF what had been done, and they joined
their brother and assisted him in prepar-
ing for defense The government troops,
when they arrived upon the scene met a
determined resistance. A regular battle
followed. during which Gen. Enriquez,
his two brothers and two servants were
killed and three more of their little party
wounded before the building in which they
were intrenched was carried by the troops.
Two officers and IL soldiers were either
killed or wounded during the fight.

Theodore f. Bonney. who was charged
with feloniously assaulting his own
daughter, who is but 3 years old, was
discharged after partial examination at
lonia. IL was conclusiveiy shown by wit
nesses that Bonney's father had used this
means To get rid OF his son that he might
find favor in the eyes OF the wife OF the
young man, and according TO the testimony
of the older Bonney himself, he had sue
ceeded admirably insofar as the wife was
concerned, much to his own disgrace and
the scandal OF the neighborhood. The
father admitted that he had once before
sent the young man To jail, that time for
assault and battery. and according 10 his
own story he was the aggressor in that
matter, but the young man had no friends
or money, a condition he had supposed
him now in, and the boy had 10 suffer by
being thrown into Jail, while the old man
made the circuit Of several county fairs in
company with the young mans wife.

actions, and when the case was dismissed
