SILVER MEETING.

Topeka, Kan, June 1S.-The out-of-town
attendance alt the silver conference held
here today was less than 100, and included
none of the leaders of any OF the par
ties. There were NOT 1000 present at the
afternoon meeting. A. Shinn, vice-presi-
dent for Kansas of the American R;-
metallic League. was the moving spirit,
and d. C. Tillotson, Republican Tope>
ka attorney, was chairman. T-llotson
and one other were the only Republicans
present. The majority of the delegates
were Popurists. There were no sel
spesches during the afternoon meeting,
but number of delegates voted their
willingness TO aIbandon prospective par
ties for any party which should make
the strongest stand for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Congressman
Sibley, OF Pennsylvania spoke briefly
He said: "John Sherman and Grover
Cleveland are going to march 10 the polls
and vote together in 1896"

THE PRESIDENT DECLINES.

Washington, June 1S.-WIlberforce Una-
verslty the oldest institution in the
country for the education OF negroes, u
few days ago conferred the degree OF
LII. d. upon President Cleveland. The
president has sent an autograph letter to
President Mitchell, of Wliberforce, de-
c.inirg the honor.
The Wilberforce University Is conducr-
ed under the auspices of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, and was
founded by Bishop d. A. Payne. The
president has recently shown the instr
tuition 1avors, and 1t was In return for
these favors, and in recognition of his
worth, that the university desired to con-
fer upon him the honorary degree Presl-
dtnt Cleveland recently made colored
man q lieutenant in the army, and de.
tailed him as special instructor in mill
tary tactics at the university. Then, too
when postmaster was to be appointed
at Wilberforce, Ohio, where the institb>
tion is located, the president selected
a cOlOred man endorsed by the faculty of
Wliberforce.
The president in hills letter Is STA To
have expressed his high appreciation Of
the institution, but not being a college
graduate and having declined a similar
honor from one of AMERICAS great uni
versfties, he regarded 1t as but consistent
TO adhere TO that course.

Silver Meetings in KanSas-Presi-

Improvement Election.

Cleveland, June 1S.--Every Incoming
train today brought scores of delegates
and visitors TO attend the National Re
publican League Convention which begins
tomorrow morning. The business portion
of the city is profusely decorated with
flags and bunting. Music Hall, where the
convention will be held, has been most
artistically decorated. The immense ar
cade building In which the banquet will
take place Thursday evening has been
transformed into a. verltalble bower of
beauty. The decorations have cost many
thousands of dollars and 1t Is stated that
they are the finest ever produced at any
league convention.
The two principal topics. under discus
sion around the hotel corridors were
league politics and the silver question.
Nearly all of the Eastern delegates who
have thus far arrived, seem to favor
General McAlpin for the presidency of
the league. General NcAlpin, of New
York, seems to have the strongest sup
port today and his friends claim that he
has 'cinch" on the place. Other can,
didates for the position are Hon. II. c.
Evans, of Tennessee; Hon. s. B. Elkins,
of West Virginia, and Col. Isaac Trum-
bo, of idaho.
Among the visiting statesmen who at
tracted the most attention during the day
were Governor Brown, of Rhode Island,
Governor Nelson and Ex-Governor Mer-
riam, of Minnesota; Ex-Governor Moody,
of Oregon and the officers of the state
leagues, but the influx of delegates to,
night is so large that the favorltes are
less conspicuous. Senators Carter ana
Dubois, however are more eagerly sought
after, as they are recognized as the Lead
ens of the silver movement, and all
Western delegates want to meet them.
Silver enthusiasts are generally disap>
pointed tonight over the attitude of the
Mountaineers, and the colored brethren
of the South Delegates say that the
delegates from the southern states are
d vidlng on the silver question, and thai
they want nothing done at this conven-
ton on that question, and that II the
issue Is forced they will vote with the
Eastern and other delegates against free
silver, so as to have an issue against tho
Democrats that will break the old lines
of race prejudice The Southern dele
gates are for policy of expediency, and
say that the old Wing clement of the
South IS for sound money as we'll as for
protection, and that the Sold South can
