SIXTEEN TO ONE.
Illinois Democrats Como Out In F~vor OF
Free Silver.

Free silver.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June 6.-Many dele
gates came 70 the Democratic silver con-
vention. Secretary of State Hinrichsen,
by virtue of his Office chairman Of the
Democratic state committee, called the
meeting 10 order.
The reasons he said, for calling the con-
vention so early were to focstall the action
of the national silver party, which was
preparing to launch n boom which would
have carried away many good Democrats
In this and other states, and also TO open
mp the questi n for discussion long enough
before the meeting Of the national convcn-
ton in 1896 to prevent a hopeless split in
the party.
In the course of an address, w. J. Bryan
Of Nebraska said: "In 1896 the people Of
the United States will be called upon TO
decide whether the influence of this nation
shall be cost on the side of bimetallism or
In favor Of a universal gold standard. Ali
admit that the question is the greatest
economic question which has come before
the people of the United States during tho
present generation, II not, in fact, during
the present century.
"This question cannot be settled by the
"
federal officials. Is will not be finally
settled until the great common people Of
the United States sit In Judgment upon IL,
and apply IL TO their principles of justice,
by which alone public questions can be
measured.
Mr.. Bryan said IL was to be regretted
that the first Democratic president since
the war should become the trusted instru-
ment In tho hands Of concentrated wealth,
the official head of the Communism OF
pelf."
Mr.. Bryan thought that II the restora-
tion Of silver was imperative, the means
arc important, and that IL it is restored at
all IL must be restored at the present legal
ratio of l8 to /.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton then made its report Judge McCon-
nell was then conducted to the chair ne
said that this convention makes u depart
urc and is Intended not only to allow
free discussion before the next political
engagement, hut 20 define our party posi-
tion with distinctness and definitcncss so
that no voter shall fail to understand us.
A committee was sent out to conduct
Governor Altgeld 10 the hall. The gov
ernor's appearance was the cue for the
noisiest demonstration of the day.
The governor, In substance, said "Why
have you left your various labors to come
hereY Ii Is because you have felt that the
time has come when you must again
make a declaration Of principles again
make n stand for the tcncts of Democracy.
''wU must raise the purchasing power
OF the produce Of the great masses Of the
country. Honesty and justice demand
that this country go back To the principles
in vogue when prosperity ruled.
The Democratic party Is under obliga-
ton TO right the wrongs Of the people The
Republic ans believe IL is the business Of
the government TO enrich the rich people.
and let them throw q few bones ~ the
poor."

Kentucky Republicans 0p.
posed to Free Silver.
Illinois Convention Takes the Con-
trary View Of the Situation.

LOUISVILLE, June 6.-The Republican
state convention convened yesterday after
noon at the Auditorium, seating 5000
people, and filing tho place TO It's ca
pacity. j. w. Yoekes made a speech on
the existing conditions in kentucky, and
introduced as temporary chairman Judge
Denny. After Judge Denny's speech, the
usual committoes were appointed.
Congressman Walter Evans offered a
strong resolution for gold standard. II
was referred 10 the committee on rcsolu-
tions. An invitation to appoint delegates
To tho free coinage convention at Memphis
was tabled.
Congressman Evans was made per-
manent chairman and Samuel j. Roberts
secretary.
The platform, as adopted, was In sub
stance IA follows: We are opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, be.
heving that 1t would Involve the country
In financial ruin. We believe In n sound
currency, and in the use of both gold and
silver for coinage, provided always that
dollar In one Is made principally as valu-
able IA dollar in tho other. We favor
tariff so regulated as to protect the inter
ests Of all classes of our citizens upon arti-
CicS lAht may DO SUCCESSFULLY manulac-
tured or produced ia this country, thus
insuring good wages to the laborcr and
home market 10 the producer, and in con-
nection with this we favor the re-estab-
lishment OF the doctrine Of reciprocity.
We believe that such system will defray
every governmental expense. gradually
hquidate all indebtedness, restore public
confidence and rclegate to the aar the un-
d,1aa linz ,s,,, tpr
the currency. In view OF the past financial
history of the Democratic party, its devotion
TO the old state bank system and wildcat
tendency, we affirm that tho Republican
party can be more safely trusted to
regulate the financial system of the ma
ton. We favor an American policy
which will protect Americans and Am
erican interests in any part OF the world
at all hazards, and will sympathize
strongly with republican nations rather
than ignorant monarchies.

CoNsTAETINoPLE, June "a panic pre-
walls in Jeddah, and the Europeans there
have taken refuge on board the foreign
vessels in the harbor, fearing that they
i'll be attacked by the Bedouins.
The chief causes of the aggressiveness OF
the Bcdouins at Jeddah are their objec-
ton TO the quarantine measures adopted
against pilgrims 10 and from Mecca, espe-
cially the latter, and the erection Of huts
for the use Of pilgrims outside the city Of
Jeddah. These measures are strenuously
opposed by the fanatical Bedouins, who
have no hesitansy in resorting TO violence
in demonstration Of their opposition.
The porto has becom 4 yolved in an ad-
ditional diplomatic conn lication, arising
from tho wounding Of AN officer Of a
French steamer by Turkish passenger
and the subsequent arrest OF the Turk.
The Turkish officer, who was travelling on
the steamer from Trebizond TO Constan-
tinople, refused TO pay the required sum
for the transportation of excessive luggage.
In the course of the ensuing alteration,
the Turkish officer wounded one of tho
ships officers with his sword.
The Turkish officer was Immediately
put under arrest, and detained on board
after the arrival Of the steamer at Con-
stantinople. The matter was reported to
NJ. CamboE, the French ambassador, who
has demanded satisfaction from the porte
for the wounding Of French citizen.
