WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O-Two of the most
distinguished senators on the Democratic
side of the chamber-Harris of Tennessee
and Morgan of Alabama-made vigorous
attacks in the senate on the silver pur-
chase repeal bill Harris asserted that
the repeal of the Sherman act would he
the last recognition of silver as money and
that the Republicans who were now aid
ing Voorhees, would desert him as soon az
they accomplished their purpose and
would oppose any measure that might be
presented to utilize silver in way or to anv
extent. There was one merit in the speech
made by Harris-it was completed Rut
Morgan is an interminable orator who can
like the brook Ego on forever and he
intimated that such was his intention.
Morgan began with the oft-reneated
claim that in deferring the bimetallic
question to the judgment of the great ma
lions the United States is giving up one of
its rights. Said Morgan: 1--WE are told
that we cannot exercise it wisely or Justly

foreign power. II that proposition is true,

we are not a government, and that we

GENERAL FIELD STANDARDIZATION
ney-General James G. Field in his
speech at Midlothian on Tuesday
charged President Cleveland with be-
ing uncandid. He referred to Mr..
Cleveland's declaration that the present
perilous condition of the country is the
result of the execution ofthe act of July,
1890. General Field said that neither
Mr.. Cleveland nor Mr. Harrison had exc
cuted this law, but on the contrary had
wilfully and deliberately ignored the
most important provision of the law.
They executed that portion which re-
quired the purchase monthly of $780,
600 ounces of silver bullion, but ignored
the section which required this bullion
to be coined. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Harrison, General Field asserted, alb
stracted from the treasury $4S,000,000
of gold coin to redeem these certificates,
which the law required should be re-
deemed with money coined out Of tie
silver bullion purchased under the act.
General Field held that President Har-
rison and Mr.. Cleveland in ignoring
this coinage section of the Sherman act,
were guilty of an Improbable otense
for which Mr.. Harrison should nave
been and Mr.. Cleveland should now be
impeached. MIR. Cleveland, in his proc
lamation, General Field said, suppress
ed the fact that he and his predecessor
had disregarded this third section OF the
Sherman act.

From Honolulu,

A dispatch from Honolulu dated
June IS, says:
Developments of the past six days
have been three arrests for conspiracy
10 overthrow the provisional govern
ment; a threat against the life OF
Claus Spreckels, and the organization
of "a society within the ranks of the
annexationists for the purpose of shoot
ing down certain royalists in the event
of any open attack upon the present
government. Claus Spreckcls found
on his gate few days ago placard
ornamented with O skull and cross
bones and bearing the inscription Gold
and silver will not stop lead" He
laid the matter before Minister Blount
and the latter forwarded Spreckels's
statement TO the provisional govern
ment.
The names of the persons arrested
for conspiracy are T.. B. Walker, d. G.
Crick and Archibald Livelain. They
are all English, and the British consul
was disposed TO interfere in their be-
half, but dropped the matter when in
formed of the nature of the charges
against them. The government claims
to have evidence against these men,
showing they were forming plot to
blow up the government buildings and
then shoot down the annexationists
when they should rush to the scene.
A large number of other persons are
being watched by the authorities.
Six or seven hundred annexationists
have formed a citizens reserve"
They are armed with rifles and have
selected certain prominent supporters
of the ex-Queen whose names are
known and marked them for slaughter
in the event of royalist outbreak. A
member Of this organization gives q
list of names of those marked for as
sassiuaticn, and says that in addition to
prominent Hawaiians it includes Claus
Spreckels and Minister Blount in case
they interfere in ony fight that may
occur

completion, and the sooner job is be-

Address from Mr.. Tyler's Friends.

Address from Mr.. Tyler's Friends.
The Tyler Home Club of Radford has
issued the following address to the
democrats of the State:
"The friends of Lieutenant Governor
Tyler at his home began work in his
behalf with determination to be con-
servative in every particular and to
publish no boastful nor misleading
statements, and to this end q quiet sys-
TEN of investigation of public sentiment
throughout the State was inaugurated.
An immense correspondence has been
kept up with intelligent and conserva--
tive parties, and from these letters and
other sources of information table OF
estimates was made up during the first
week in June, and by this estimate it
was shown that we had grounds to JUS
tify an expectancy of over $50 dele
gates. AS proof of the conservative
ness of our calculation, we point to the
fact that our estimates on the counties
and cities that have chosen delegates
were that Major Tyler would have As
and Col. O'Ferrall 80. Ourinformation
isl that Major Tyler has 81 and Col.
O'Ferrall 81, thus varying only 3 votes
in the first 13S. This result tallies so
closely with our estimates that VIC have de-
cided to make known cur calculations
and to assure our friends throughout the
State that it is our candid and sincere
opinion that observation-disclosures Tyler will
be easily nominated rs the next democratic
candidate for governor, assuring them of our
belief that the general result will vary but
little from our estimate. We anticipated that
the counties and cities that have elected dele
gates would move in advance and the first APP
pearances would be as they Indicate. We also
anticipate that many claims will be made by
the newspaper reports that results will not
justify. We ask that our friends will be pa
tient and perseverng, feeling that we can as
sure them of triumphant victory
