LARGEST CONVENTION YET.

Milwaukee, July 25.--One Of the larg>
est conventions ever held by Republi-
cans in Wisconsin, met today.
The platform adopted holds the DEM
ocratic party responsible for the pres
ent financial distress on account Of their
threatened change in the industrial pol
Icy. 1t says:
''The Republican party is the friend of
both labor and capital Each is indis-
pensible to the other. We recognize the
right of laborers to organize, using all
honorable measures for the purpose of
dignifying their condition, and placing
them on an equal footing with capital.
The Republican party is in favor of
honest money. We are unalterably op-
posed to any scheme that will give
to this country debased or deprecated
currency. We favor the use of silver
as currency to an extent only that It
can be circulated on a parity with gold.
The Republican party is party of re-
ligious liberty, and Of absolute nom
sectarianism, of the entire separation
of church and state, OF free common
schools, and Of the utmost independence
of individual thought, speech and ac-
tion within the law.
After taking five ballots for governor.
the convention adjourned until tomor-
row. being unable to select candidate.

ASSOCldIeu fTtSb-
washington, July 25.-The senate will
accede to the question of the house for
conference on the tariff bill, and its
conferees will return to the meeting
with those Of the house untrammelled
by any specific instructions whatever.
This was the conclusion of the Demo-
cratic senatorial caucus which adj
journed sine die few minutes after
o'clock today after a two days sitting.
While the caucus did not commit itself
to any definite line of policy in so
many words, the conferees feel with
their Democratic colleagues that they
understand what the majority Of them
desire, and they believe this to be that
they shall stand substantially by the
senate bill. This is not the individual
preference of many of the Democratic
senator's, but it represents the opinion
of many of them as expressed in the
caucus as to the only practical course
open to the Democrats who think the
present congress must pass tariff bill
of some kind, whether it be what they
desire or not. In other words, the re-
suit of the caucus is the reascertaining
of what was known when the three
days caucus closed last March-that 1t
is impracticable to pass any tariff bill
through the senate which does not meet
the demands of the so-called conserva-
tive senators and the Louisiana sem
ators. 1t became evident soon after the
caucus convened, that the resolution of
Jarvis to send the bill back to the con-
fera ice without instructions was the
course open to the caucus The major,
ity Of those who participated in the
caucus came out when it adjourned,
with their faces wreathed in smiles,
and most of them indicated by their
actions that they had inaugurated
line of policy which would be to secure
the passage of a tariff bill. Some Of
them who would say nothing as to the
proceedings, announced themselves as
confident of the ultimate success of the
bill. A vote on the resolution to send
the bill to conference again was not
unanimous, Senator Villas and several
others opposing it, and explicitly stip-,,
ulating that their participation in the.
caucus should not be considered as,
binding them to support the report OF
the conference committee when it was
again presented. During the proceed
ings the attitude of the Populist SEN
ators, Allen and Kyle, who have gener-
ally voted with. the Democrats on the
tariff bill, was alluded to, and one of
the senators present stated that he had
been authorized by Allen to say that he,
thought the bounty on sugar should be-
continued for the present. Mill, Muir
ply and Irby were again absent from
the caucus today.

"A STRONG PLATFORM.
The Iowa Republicans Declare for the
Protection of Americans.


Des Moines, July 25-The largest and
most enthusiastic Republican state con-
vention ever held in Iowa met today.
John NJ Baldwin was temporary chair
man. A prayer by Rev. ]. L. Weaver
was sensational. He prayed that the
country's enemy, the Democratic party,
will be as merciful as possible, and APP
pealed to the Omnipotent to assist in
expediting the infamous Democratic
party from power, and to restrain them
forever from the exercise of govern
ment authority.
The convention, in its platform, de-
clares for system of protective duties
so adjusted that every American re-
source can be developed by American
labor, receiveing American wages, and
insist upon a tariff that will accom-
plish these ends Continuing, 1t says:
eve reaffirm our belief that the in
terests of the country its farmers, and
its working men, demand that every
dollar, paper or coin, issued by the gov
ernment, should be as good as any other
dollar. We favor the largest possible
use of silver as a money that is con-
sistent with the permanent maintenance
of the equal values of all dollars in
circulation. We do not want monomet,
allism, either on gold or silver, and we
pledge ourselves to continue to work
for bimetallism to be brought by all
the means within the power of the
government The Republican party
renews its pledge to defend the work.
ing man not only against assaults of
foreign competition, but against the at

DESERTED THE OLD SHIP.
Congressman benson, of Alabama, Has
Joined the Populists.

washington, July 25--An open secret
in political circles went the rounds last
night. It was to the effect that Con-
gressman William H. benson. of Ala
bama, had recently deserted the DEM
ocratic party and joined hands with
the Populists.
Mr.. benson represents the Seventh
District Of his state. He left this city
for his home week ago, 1t is under
stood, to take part in the campaign.
The story as related was that Mr.
benson had written a letter announcing
his change of base.
Chairman Taubeneck. of the Populist
committee, could not be found. Senator
PETER was seen at his hotel, and said:
more than a week ago was informe
ed that several Democratic congress-
men were contemplating such a change,
and l have reason to believe the report
concerning Mr.. benson is true. If /
am not mistaken. Mr.. benson was
named as one Of the three"
Inquiry in other directions developed
the fact that Mr.. Denson's intention to
support Kolb for governor and his OPP
position to some features of the ad-
ministrations policy has been good
deal discussed, and has really been
classed as an open secret in Populist
circles ever since his departure for
home.
1t was definitely stated last night that
Mr.. Taubeneck had received a telegram
from Mr.. benson in which he declared
his purpose to hereafter affiliate with

PRICE, FIVE CENTS.

Secretary Carlisle went to the house
of representations today and sought
Speaker Crisp, but left for the treasury
without seeing him. Prominent MEM
bers, including some who are classed as
radical free traders, have let it be
known that free iron ore and coal are
not worth the conflict they are caus-
ing. There is no indication, however,
that this opinion is shared by Speaker
Crisp or Chairman Wilson.

follows: '"rhe campaign is not yet over.
The struggle still goes on. A critical mo-

The AnEe1eOmeter.

The "angleometer' is newly patent
ed instrument for determining and
maintaining the horizontal plane Of the
observers line of sight, and thus maxi
liz it possible for navigators to obtain
y sliable attitudes of celestial objects at
sra without horizon Of any kind; fur
thermore. it is quite independent Of the
height Of the observers eye above the
sea level. The device consists OF a
simple attachment for the sextant or
quadrant 1t is secured to the telescope
holder by tllumb-screw. The great
Importance Of this useful instrument to
masters who have valuable lives and
nroperty under their care cannot be
tyerestimated. 1t will be found es-
pecially serviceable in such trades rs
the North Atlantic and st. Lawrence,
wher dense fogs are prevalent during
tho summed months, while the sun,
moon and stars are often plainly visi-
bic overhead, but hitherto practically
useless to the navigator, except for
azimuths. Under such conditions this
instrument will be the means Of reliev-
ING captains from doubt and anxiety,
os ii secures the safety or the ship
when the sea horizon is unreliable or
completely obscured by fog. The an.
gleometer has been thoroughly tested
in thick and foggy weather. and its ef-
ficiency has been established. The only
objection found in practice was the Diff
ficulty of holding the sextant sufhclent-
| " steady under excessive vibration,
but. this obstacle has now been over
.eome by causing the vertical balance
