BRICE Dimes WITH THOMAS.

Arrs.ngfng Al Compromise mt Spring.
field.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio. August 2O.-The
district and other preliminary meetings
Of the democratic state convention are
held here today preparatory to the assem-
bling of the convention at 10 am. tomor-
row.
Senator Brice reached Lima from New
York yesterday and arrived here this
morning. He is making the fight of his life
for a platform in harmony with the Views
of President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle
and himself on the financial question. He
is not taking an aggressive part for the
nominal ton for governor other offices,
but is interested in the organization, so
as to control the committee on credentials,
which will determine the contests, and the
committee on resolutions. which will report
the platform.
He is believed to have a majority of the
SOS delegates with him, but the free sill
yer men claim $40 OF the delegates, or
enough to make trouble If no concession is
made to them. The delegates are all here
today, and the question is as to what con-
cession shall be made to the minority,
which claims to be over two-fifths, and
almost one-half the membership of the
convention.
The Brce men are raising no objection
to any of the free silver candidates, not
even John II. Thomas and James Kill
DOfne. Tor governor, ana they are bOth
pronounced advocates of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
JOHN II. Thomas has been opposing Sena-
tor Brice very strongly. But today Senator
Brice, eX-Goy. Campbell and other leaders
dined with Mr.. Thomas. and it is under
stood that compromise was outlined, but
| it will not be known what the leaders did
III til after their plans are developed in the
convention tomorrow.
Senator Brice is the temporary chairman
of the convention, and his keynote speech
is sure to be for honest money" without
regard to the outcome of the fight tonight
for the organiza ton Of the convention. His
speech will be conservative.
Immediately after its delivery come the
reports OF the committee on credentials,
the majority for seating the Brice men and
the minority for seating the free silver con-
testants. In considering &C these reports the
Senator may have some close ruling, and
the silver men may get mad.
1t Is at this juncture Of the proceedings
that the contest between the free silver
ana the Br1ce men Is expected, although
the latter had things their way today.
Just before Senator Brice arrived, at II
am, the city was flooded with dodgers
bearing the following resolution, adopted
at the meeting of silver delegates:
we favor the immediate restoration of
the law providing for the free coinage of
both gold and silver coins. and their use,
without discrimination, as provided for in
the Constitution.
The silver men met Senator Brice and
said that they had no fight on him, and
all they wanted was this plank. The SEN
ator and his friends are non-committal
and want all to wait for the regular report.
On the arrival of the train bearing ex-
Governor Campbell at noon, Campbell
badges were distributed broadcast in an
ticipation of his nomination. All the lead
ers and delegates arrived today.

SOME TALK OF A SPLIT

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
SPRINGFIELD. Ohio, August 2O.-The
general political situation seems to be un-
changed today. The free silver democrats
held a conference last night, but as news
peper men and outsiders generally We're ex-
Guided, the proceedings have not reached
the public.
1t is known. however, that a much more
conservative spirit than has characterized
the actions of this faction was manifested
in the meeting, and an inclination to get
cut from under the leadership of such a
radical free silver man as Allen W. Thur
man was shown.
Some of the free silver men assert that
they would easily control the convention
were 1t not for the fact that many demo-
c1ats who favor free coinage will not sup
pert the free coinage proposition, because
they are afraid to disturb what they call
the political equilibrium of the party.
There few even of the silver men who
believe the free silver faction will control
the convention. The probability is that it
will not make respectable showing.
The outside figure places the free silver
strength at 200 delegates.
There are a great many poStmaSterS and
other federal officers present, all said to
be working for Senator Brice. Their pres
ence is unfavorably commented upon by
the free silver democrats and the republi-
can press.
Campbell still insists that he will not
permit his name to go before the conven-
ton, but everybody believes that the con-
vention will be stampeded to him, that he
viii be nominated before he can say word
against it and he will then accept the situ-
alton.
The delegates meet by congressional dis
tricts at pm. today and at 10 o'clock to-
morrow the convention proper will meet.
There Is still some talk of a possible split

In accepting the republican nomination
for governor of Kentucky, Col w. o. Brad
ley referred as follows to the platform
adopted:
1.-THE platform of to-day is but repeti-
ton of the platforms of the past. 1t de-
mands protection for every American inter-
est-protection for the producer, protection
for the manufacturer, protection for the
laboring man and protection for the cur
rency. 1t denounces the heresy of the free,
unlimited and independent coinage of silver
and it will protect the people from the dis
honor of reputation. 1t repeats now that
every dollar shall be of equal value with
every other dollar and that every promise to
pay dollar shall be as sacred as soldiers
grave and worth 100 cents wherever flies
the flag. 1t favors the use of gold and
silver of equal purchasing and equal debt
paying power, and will preserve for every
son of toll the same dollar that is held by
the rich and the millionaire in the land
We heartily sympathize with the intelligent
business men of the democratic party who
agree with us on this question and ask them
to stand by and help us in an honest effort
to preserve the nations credit"
The plank referring to the currency ques-
ton is as follow:
1--WE are opposed to the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver, believing that it would
involve the country in financial ruin. We
believe in sound currency and in the use of
both gold and silver for coinage, provided
always that dollar in one is principally as
valuable as dollar in the other"

Lex Versus Medicus.

1t must be, and undoubtedly is, very
gratifying to Lawyer Chandler, of Corunna,
that he has been exonerated from the very
serious charge for which he was recently
tried by the highest tribunal in the state.
Men come and 90 like autumn leaves but
when a.lawer like "Zack"-as we all were
proud to call him-is held up by Judge
for an offence that might disbar him, 1t
becomes matter not only OF professional
but Of financial life or death, perhaps. to
him and in man of his high standing the
downfall would have been terrible.
We note in this connection gratefully
with what cheerful alacrity, the bar in and
around the county flew to his relief. They
fairly focked to his assistance and he never
has known how many friends he had both
in and out of the profession till the present
time.
In this connection we mark with strange
emphasis the difference betwixt the law
and medicine.
Now IL a doctor is detected in mistaken
diagnosis of fractured or dislOcated bone,
the patient If crippled is urged frequently to
prosecute, If the doctor is worth the candle,
viz, has got the collaterals. 1t is easy
enough to find a lawyer, where the woods
tract and the doctor is snapped up for an
amount that he never had and never would
have, if he lived to the age of Methuselah's
grandfather and practiced medicine all the
time, over the disabement of poor devil,
perhaps, who could afford to be run oyer
by the cars for half the money every three
months in the year. Now, do the doctors
fly to his relief? Not any. They say:
"Served him right. No business to have
undertaken the job"
Well, after long eternity of time the
doctor makes his escape from the clutches
of the lawyers-damaged in reputation,
bankrupt in purse-only to begin life over
again, whether he was found guilty or not
guilty. This is the slight difference be-
tween the men who run the legal machine
and the men they run through it.
Finally, when that happy hour arrives
that men of medicine will hasten to help a
fallen brother as gentlemen Of the law do,
then we can concert on course of action
that will bring the defendants through "as
slick as grease"
Lastly, since 'Zack" has been so honored
and exalted by his acquital, wouldn't it be
good scheme to begin below and run the
balance of the legal fraternity in the county
through similar picker. WARD.

A Better Use for Our Gold.

From the American Economist.
Official statistics, just published, show
that in the seven months from September,
1894, to March last, both inclusive, the i'm
ports of woolens were $21, 347, 800, while
for the like period in 1S93'94 they amounted
to only $50 1892 This indicates the start
ling increase of 1891 per cent in this class
of goods.
The imports of cottons were $21, 665,575
against $12, 1888, $50 in 1S93-'94, an increase
of 6S.2 per cent.
In silks the imports increased from $12,
876, 732 in 1s93.'94 to $40, S17, 929 in the
corresponding seven months of the Wilson
Tariff, showing gain, for the foreigners,
of 5s.4 per cent.
In the aggregate these transactions show
that in the seven months after the Wilson
Tariff went into effect the importations of
dry goods were SIS, sos, 793, while for the
like period in 1s93-'94 they were $44,644
935, an increase OF 1862 per cent.
When due allowance is made for under
valuations, stimulated as they are by the
ad valorem duties of the Wilson Tariff, 1t
is very evident that under the evil influence
of that pernicious measure, foreign goods
are again acquiring an undue foothold in
our markets.
The alarming fact is that at time when
many thousands Of workpeople were idle in
the New England and other manufacturing
the importation of dry goods to the extent
of 1879 per cent. IN seven months alone.
The gold that was paid for these foreign
products would have impaired comfort in
many American homes where workpeople
sat gloomily, in enforced idleness, while i'm
porters were busily engaged in unloading
goods that could have been made here. 1t
would have been better use for our gold to
have kept 1t at home.

Gov Rich found it, advisable to veto
twenty-one of the bills passed by the last
legislature. The most important of these
was the one providing for an interchangeable
mileage book good for use on all railroads
in the state. The governor gave his reasons
for this veto at considerable length holding
the bill to be unconstitutional Among the
other bills killed was the one appropriating
$4,000 for an electric light plant at the
University, also the one creating state
