A PRETTY STATE OF THINGS.
Picture of the Situation Painted by the
Great Cryptngrammist.

Proceeding Donneliy SAID that humanity
stands today with lot of Internal bankers
standing on its neck. These bankers were
the lineal descendants of those Christ had
driven out of the temple. They were using
means which must eventually serve to de-
stroy liberty III this country. The founders
of the government would blush If they
could see the present state of affairs, and
If they could appear they would go at once
for their uniforms and muskets. lie urged
all to proceed on constitutional lines Re
ferring 10 the south, he said he had loved
the southerners well that he had
wanted them to stay with us. Loud ap-
plause.
1t was the two old parties that were re-
sponsible for the fearful condition of the
country, the leaders i'll this crime He
warned them not to trust all who cry free
silver" There Were traitors III the ranks.
We should never trust the man who has
once 3'It the knife into us.
a. i. Bray, eX-speaker of the Montana
legislature, spoke for the west, saying that
the rights of a populous west justified the
prophecy that the capital would yet be i'll
the west upon the Missouri or the Mi.sis-
sippi river, Mr.. = :. King, of Kansas
City, author of "Bopdholders and Bread
Winners, - was then introduced.
When he and his wife was taking in the
Worlds fair together-when they in the
fine Arts building-his wife exclaimed
upon seeing Susan b. Anthony's bust i'll
marble, "Oh, here Is the leader in my
party" A little further on he called to
her: Come here, will show you the
leader in my party" 1t was statue of
Christ, which he pointed out to her. Con
tinued laughter and applause.) MIR. King
went into the intricacies of the matter of
demonetlZinG.
The next speaker was Attorney Gen
eral Standish, of North Dakota, who ar
gued to show that the Democratic party
was much more favorable to free silver at
l6 to | than the Republican.

Views of Some Speakers.
Inc close of the convention was n cv-
clone of oratory, the question of the even
ing being: What Is the Proper Remedy
and How may 1t BE Best Applied?" Pres.
ldent johnson, of the Bimetallic I,eaoue
OF Kansas, was the first speaker. Amona
other things he said: "The silver ape is
upon us. England holds the KEY TO all
values in gold. There is more gold dino
them than all the other nations combined
ihls money monarch has touched the beam
oil the money scale of the world The linn
tied amount of gold in the world is used
alone to regulate values. The repeaI of
the sherman act was the death of silver in
tins country. n gold bullion value depre-
'lates values depending upon free coin
age. ne END OF the fight may be the de-
throning of gold.
Calls Cleveland Traitor
ne international conspiracy seems to
have been at work to reduce silver far
below its true value. ANY changes in the
relative value of silver and gold is treason
on the part of the congress of the United
states. The American financial team is
gong down. In the final battle Won can
not hold up the coiors any longer. The
conspiracy of capital has given us the
mortgages OF today amounting to -. 500
oD,"o, payable only in gold" Among
the startling statements which Johnson
made, and which was loudly applauded
was that Grover Cleveland is n c,reoter.
traitor to our government than was jeff
Davis.
Colossal Conspiracy and Crime"
lgnatius Donnelly, of Minnesota. made
n brief address. in which he said: Re
garting the decentralization of silver if WAS
colossal conspiracy and crime. the great
est ever perpetrIted against the human
family. Ii Is demoniac. Nothing ever was
SO mean except that trick resorted to by
one Ihomas, OF Bremer Haven He loaded
IA vessel with iron to send to this country.
and had it insured as gold, TO the vs.lue of
100000. Then he prepared an internal
dynamite machine. which was arranped
to 60 by clock work, and was expect ed to
blow up the vessel with its $50 passengers
in mid-Ocean.
Wants Few Thunderbolts shot.
The best part of it all was that the thing
exploded before it started and one piecc
struck the originator of the plot and the
miserable wre tch died He said. however.
that he resorted to this scheme because
his wife pestered him for finery Dornel-
ly said he wished the Lord would inter
