SILVER Is SHAKY.

everything o<hrough without a hitch;
the sentiment for silver, however, did
not show up as strong as its friends had
anticipated.
Ex-State Senator Dick Roe, silverite
of Elk county. did not propose to allow
the machine to grind out its grist with
out little oil, aud when
the motion for the appointment
of a committee on resolutions was made
he was promptly on his feet crying "Mr.
Chairman. l object. This is a Republi-
can convention, as / understand it, and l
move to amend the motion, and move
you that the committee on resolutions
consist of one delegate from each judi
cial district
A Seventh district delegate moved to
lay Roe's motion to amend on the table,
and it was tabled with a whoop, although
the whoop against the tabling, was al
most as great
The crowd that succeeded in tabling
the motion cheered though they were
sure everything was their way and for
gold; but Bob Moore of Butler county
said to a JOURNAL reporter afterwards.
"The gold fellows need not think
that is the sentiment of the conven-
ton for thcre are more silver men
here than voted to stand by Roe's mo-
ton. / am however Inclined to think a
bimetallic plank will be the best thing
we silver men will get"

The Conflict.

The attitude of the suffragists and
antisuffragists is exemplified in the Hin
doc tale OF the traveller who, seeing an
image of the diety in the road without
a covering and exposed to the inclemen-
cy of the weather, built little hut of
grass over it. Another man, passing
by the same way and observing the
grass covering, thought that if it should
catch fire the image would be injured,
and accordingly he pulled it down. The
allegory goes on to say that the deity
was propitiated by both acts because
the intention was good in each case,
and so undoubtedly society Will be ben

MORRILL, AND HIS MANAGER.

The Major Not So ScAry of Prohibition
~ E-e~nd.
Cy Leland is not exactly opposed to the
reinforcement of all laws but he says a
resolution to that effect would not 20.
Yesterday afternoon Pat COney framed
a resolution which he proposed should
cover what the platform should say about
prohibition. The only thing this resolu-
ton said in reference to prohibit was
in the last sentence, which ended: Eve
are in favor of the enforcement of all
laws
Coney took the resolution to Cy Leland
for his approval, but Leland did not APP
prove of il. He read it over but said
nothing until he came to the last few
words, aud then he declared: THAT
won't 60 at all We won't stand any such
stuff"
Coney did not enjoy being sat on, but
he said nothing; he sent the resolution to
Major Morrill, by prohibitiOnist with an
account of what Cy Leland had said. and
a demand for an explanation.
Major Morrill, lost no time in saying
that he was all right on prohibition and
said he had a resolution which he pro-
posed should go into the hands of the
committee which was even stronger than
the statement rejected by Leland. This
settled matters and peace was restored.

HOCH VS..
He Takes His Name Out of the List O
Csind id.

He Takes His Name Out of the List of
Candidates.
At 8 o'clock this morning z. w. Hoch
announced that he had Withdrawn from
the race for governor. His own delega-
ton headed by j. w. Moore, candidate
for lieutenant governor, seems to have
been an important factor in this de-
cisiOn.
The very excellence of Mr.. Hoch's
platform and ideal methods in placing
himself entirely in the hands of his
friends, handicapped his candidacy in
the face of the recognized methods of a
personal scra bible for the office often aided
by the pledges and promises of workers
whom the successful man finds he must
redeem-although they may have been
made without his direct knowledge.
MIR. Hoch had high ideal, which he
feared would not under the circumstan-
ces receive the recognition of large
number of votes These circumstances
are largely due to the popular delegate
desire to get on the winning side. The
impression that Morrill, was sure to win
undoubtedly cost Martin and Hoch votes
which would have made the field
exceed the number of ballots that could
have been cast for Major Morrill, on the
first call of the roll. Hoch's platform
was a splendid one, but it shot over the
heads of the delegates to this conven-

The Shawnee county delegation tried

1t was understood that Major Morrill,
was afraid the delegation might not
stand by him, and he wanted Shawnee
county with her thirty-fiv votes to adopt
the unit rule. This did not show up in
the caucus, however, as when an effort
was made to poll the delegation on gov
ernor, a delegate moved to adjourn, and
the caucus adjourned, the vote being
twenty for adjournment to ten against it.

LONDON, June 6.-James J. Corbett,
who is now giving performances at the
Grand theater, lslington, was inter-
viewed on the prospects of his match
with Peter Jackson. After referring to
the offers of different clubs for the fight,
Corbett said:
.sOf course 1 shall accept the offer of
the Jacksonville club in preference to
the one made by the National Sporting
club. In the first place there is decided
difference in favor of Jacksonville in
second place / know that a finish
fight can be decided at Jacksonville, as
the law has been tested there. l also
know that contest lasting longer than
twenty rounds would not be allowed at
London. 1t is curious to me how anxious
for fight this man jackson has become.
l have met two men since he has
had battle, and offered to meet him
six weeks before ] fought Mitchell, but
both he and his manager declined and
drew up the present articles, they also
fixing the date.
Now, when they see that there is no
chance of the prevailing agreement be-
ing carried out, Jackson is anxious to
avoid a meeting to finish and wants to
draw the money in the hands of the
the ring. Now, when he has
learned that 1 proposed returning to
America in July, he announces his in
feution of sailing for England the same
month.
l know his game. He wants to come
here and post money for another
impossible match and then show
for another year supposed anxl-
ETY. to meet me. If he is
anxious to fight me let him leave the
side bet with the present stakeholder I'M
til return to America. He will have no
trouble in arranging a contest at Jack
sonvIlle, where we can have fight go to
finish and receive big purse in the
bargain.
Il have cabled Mr.. Davies, the stake
holder. to hold my $4,000 until the de-
tails of the foregoing are arranged. If
jackson withdraws his $4,000 at present
deposited with the stakeholder. l will
completely ignore him thereafter. This
is positively my ultimatum."
