SILVER men WELCOMED
Mayor Harrison Greets Them
When the Convention Opens.
THEY ARE VERY MUCH IN EARNEST

with One Purpose In View, the Saving Of
Silver, the Factions Are Likely to BE
Harmonious Planning For n Big Crusade.
A Secret Movement.
CHICAGO, Aug. THE national silver
convention is now in full blast. 1t was
called to order by Hon. 4. J. Warner. and
q speech of welcome was made by Mayor
Carter Harrison. The business of the con-
vention was then taken up in earnest.
Those who expected the convention to go
to pieces on the shoals of partisanship I'M
derestimated the deep feelings that actuate
most of the delegates. Populist, green
hacker and the free silver man seem to be
united on one programme-that the repeal
of the Sherman purchasing act must be
resisted to the last unless there be coupled
with it an act for the free coinage of silver
or for greater volume of currency.
The greenbacker and the Populist, who
believe that the fiat of the government is
as potent to make dollar out of strip
of green paper as it is to make a dollar Of
20 cents OF silver, are of course net partic
ular whether the legislation to be sub
stituted for the Sherman act shall be free
coinage or government greenbacks but
for the sake of showing a solid front
against the common enemy, the mono
metallist, they will unite with the free
coinage men in concerted resistance to the
Cleveland policy unless a greater volume
OF currency he insured to meet the strin-
gency of the financial situation.
In this programme are found united the
Republican congressman, Bartine of Ne
vada. the Democratic Silver Dollar War
ner of Ohio. the Populist Kolb of Ala
bama and all their respective followers and
their name is legion.
The silver Mems Programme.
1t is apparent even now that the work oil
the convention is not to end with the sine
die adjournment of Wednesday. Aggres
sive committees are to be appointed tc
carry the fight to Washington and state
committees will lie named to work up pub
lie sentiment in the various states. Their
campaign committee is to be named and
to this committee is likely to be intrusted
what is really the most important work o.
the free silver crusade Its work will bt
secret, and it il expected it will labor t.
enlist the assistance of the unemployed
everywhere. Mass meetings nightly for al
the weeks to come during the financia
crisis are to be held by the unemployed anC
poverty stricken in every city of the land
and resolutions are to be there presented
and adopted calling upon congress to pas.
a free coinage bill.
This is to be followed by another import
ant move. TIE PROSECUTING of labor lead
ers of labor organizations is to follow next
and the silver men, who well know how
subsequently the average political dema
gogue bends the knee to the demands o
the labor organizations, expect the sam

MILITIA MAN DRUNK.
He Didn't Quite Act Like a Militia
Man Sober.

Richelieu O.. Irving, a private OF the
Fourth Regiment. disgraced his regi-
ment's uniform last night and Incl
dentally this morning by being q
prisoner in the First District
Court. over which Justice MI. O'Donnell
presides.
Last night there was a drill at the New
ark Avenue Armory. The boys worked
hard and became overheated in going
through the new military evoluttons.
AT the conclusion of the drill, Irving. with
his gUp on his shoulder, presum-
ably started for home. He stopped, how
ever, and sampled some liquid refresh
ments. The fact that he was overheated
created within him q desire
to auench his thirst. Up to six O'Clock
this morning he had not sue
ceeded in doing 1t. His is. a
thirst that you read about but
seldom see. He became hilarious, and
being lonely. proceeded to rouse the
sleepy downtown residents Dy
shooting off his gun. This
fun was of but short duration. as he
was finally landed behind the bars
of the First precinct u Dris-
oner, charged with being drunk
and disorderly. This morning when ar
raigned before Justice O'Donnell he ap-
pearsd very sleepy. and had but little
TO say.
The Court believed that there were
the case and accordingly imposed a fine
of 81.
Irving felt his disgrace keeuly. He
was in uniform When arrested. Heestands
a fair chance now of being bounced from
the regiment.

manner true to nature. The cast was es-
pecially strong, and produced a favorable
effect upon the audience.
The synopsis of the play was well ar
ranged. Kittie is in love with Jerry Bran :
igan, a guide. They are estranged through
some unforeseen agency, and becomes dis
In love a second time. Jerry finds this
out somehow, he doesen't say exactly how,
and tells Kitty SO. ut an opportune mo-
ment. He finds that she still holds him dear
and finally the audience is confronted by
the pleasant knowledge that Kitty and
jerry have made up, and Jerry, OF course,
is happy, not to mention Kitty's feelings on
the subject. All through the perform
ance Funny Sam" contributes mirth to
the enacting OF the production, and is fin

floor, and after picking himself up, seeks

One pleasant feature of the play was the
unrolling of irish scenery by the yard,
from the stage. when each act was I'M

banks, buildings, castles, legends, light
houses, converts, cemeteries, and every
thing imaginable. They were everyone of

made frequent and animated plaudits.
Throughout the evening, Professor Nc

CLEVELAND, O., June IA. 1SS3.-The big
Saengerfest Auditorium rang with music
for the first time yesterday afternoon.
Echoes from a thousand voices resounded
throughout the spacious hall in joyful
harmony. 1t was the initiation of melody
in the building and a critical moment for
the contractors and architects who had
constructed it. After the nrst strains of
music had penetrated the remote corners
of the hall the fact was thoroughly proven
to them that the greatest dimculty had
been overcome IN its construction. The
acoustics were perfect. Yesterdays test
proved it in spite of the fact that the hall
must be properly hlled to secure the de-
sired effect.
The building will seat 1900 persons and
will be used for the 27th National Saenger-
fest which meets in this city July II, IL,
