OF BATES CO.,

Democratic party as party to as
sumo q decided position on this
question and to draw its party lines
according to the wishes of a majority
of its members. The principles of
of Democracy forbid tue decision Of
important questions by the party
leaders without instruction from the
people, and it is therefore proper
for this committee to call on the
Democrats of the precincts, town
ships and counties of this State to
meet in convention in their respect.
i've localities to discuss freely the
great question before the people, to
give expression to their views in
appropriate resolutions and to select
delegates to convention to be held
at the State capital. In order that
the proceedings of the Democracy
as a party may be regular, 1t is sug-
gested that each County Committee
in the State call convention Of the
Democracy of the county for the
purpose as stated above, the time
aud place for holding such conven-
tion to be fixed by the committee,
but it should be previous 10 the
date of a State Convention to be
held at Springfield ON the 4th day
of June, 1895. Such Convention will
be composed of one delegate for
each 800 votes or fraction of $50
thereof cast for Bernard Claggett
for State Treasurer at the last elec-
ton. The Democrats of the State
are urged to turn out to these
meetings and so give free expression
to their views, in order that there
may be no doubt as to the position
of the party on this great and i'm
portant question.

"THEo. NELSON, Secretary
Chairman Hinrichsen, in the
course of lengthy interview, says:
I'VE expect that our call will be re.
sponded to by every county in the
State I am in receipt of information
from every county outside of Cook,
and this information convinces me
that 80 per cent Of the Democracy
favor the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, with
cut waiting for the action OF any
foreign Government. The resolu
tions adopted by the county conven-
tions will of course be in line with
this feeling. This movement will
spread from Illinois to every State
in the Union, ani long before the
election comes around it will be
evident that the Congress to be
chosen in 1896 will pass Is to l
free coinage act. Now. when capi
talists realize that on the 1st day of
July, 1897. the Government will be
gin giving legal tender dollar fer
every 412t grains of standard silver
presented at the mint, they will
begin to purchase silver bullion,
which can now be bought for say
55c for 412s grains. The sure profit
Of 45c on each i12l grains will
bring out all the gold from the
bank vaults and hiding places The
result will be that the price of silver
will rise steadily, and when the law
goes into effect the question of the
parity will be settled"
Mr.. Hinricksen processes to be-
lieye that the movement will have
the effec. of bringing all the free
silver republicans over to the Demo
cratic party. He also believes that

TAYLOR TRIAL ENDED.
Jury i'm the Famous Case Unable
to Reach a terdict.-Five
Were for Acquittai.

Carrollton, No, April 5,-Poor
old Carroll county is name more
than applicable. This morning
brought the end OF the Taylor case.
The people of this city had settled
the result of tne trial Yesterday, to-
day it was recorded in open court.
At $50 this morning Judge Rucker
moved slowly toward the court room
followed by Colonel Hale, the senior
counsel for the defense, and T. NJ
Bresnehan, the prosecuting attorney
of Linn. A few Of the reporters
who were off watch entered the
court room shortly after. but very
few citizens knew that the end of
the Taylor case was at hand and not
over dozen were in court when the
Judge called the court to order.
The jury were then asked if they
had agreed upon verdict and re.
piled meme whatever, and also stated
that there was no chance for them
TO agree. The Judge then made the
order discharging the jury and con
tinued the case until the July term
of court. The jury stood seven for
conviction and five for acquittal, viz:
For conviction, J. A. Rose, Dave
jameson, Adolph Auer, Granville
Jenkins, Elijah Baker, James FL.
! Creel and W. r BANNER. For &C.
quittal, Frank Yehle, Barnett NJ.
Hudson. Ben Glover, George Flen-
ing aud j. T. Noland.
On the street, when the verdict
/ became known, people gathered in
little knots and discussed the mat
| ter, but there is no intimation what
ever of mob violence. and if there
| should be mob 1t will come from
the upper counties and the sheriff
| is able to cope with il. There Is
some talk that the Taylor brothers
will be removed from here, but
Skeriff Stanley feels able to take
good care of them right here n Car
| rollton
! Judge Rucker adjourned court
to day until April %, at which time
special grand jury will be called
| TO investigate the charges OF bribery
| in this case The air Is full OF bri-
berry charges and it is due al! parties
that the grand jury investigate
them.

Jefferson City Tribune:-The de-
cision Of the Missouri supreme court
in the Lamar water works case is
attra sting considerable attention.
The city, through vote of the
people, contracted for water supply
and then afterward refused to pay
aydrant rentals on the ground that
the tax levy authorized by the con.
stitutionl was not sufficient. The
court holds that the real estate and
personal tax revenues, as well as
license and other revenues, may be
used to meet the Obligations of such
contracts. This is good law and
common sense.

AFTER THE PLUM
FOUR CITIES WANT THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Contest Which Ii Rather Warm
bat Good Natured, Will soon he
Decided by the Republican, Ma
tiOnal Committee-It IL Thought
That the Convention VIII BE
Held Some Time in June.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE national
Republican committee will meet to-
morrow at the Arlington hotel to Sc
lect the time and place for holding the
national convention next year. AS to
| the time the committee seems to be
| pretty we'll agreed that it should be
held come time in June, although
there are some advocates of a very
| late convention and a short, sharp
| campaign. The place at which the
convention will be held is the subject
Of hard but goOd-natured struggle.
Each rival city has taken headquar-
| tiers at the hotel, and is being doomed
with great diligence. Each offers to
pay off the debts Of the national com
mittee and besides offer a separate
| and superior set Of qualifications and
| advantages, both sentimental, ma
| terial and geographical. The question
| Of candidates does not appear to enter
| into the question of the choice Of the
| convention city and the Republican
politicians who swarm about the cor
| ridOrs say that the committee will con-
| tent itself with selecting the place for
| the convention and allow the conven-.
| ton to select the candidate Among
those present are some Of the most
| distinguished and powerful leaders Of
the Republican party.
An attempt was made to give the
cities hearing to-day but many Of
| the committeeman were absent, and
| it was decided finally to postpone the
| hearings until tomorrow, when each
candidate will be given an hour to
present it's claims. The question of
the basis of representation which will,
come before the committee, will be re-
ferred, probably. to the convention for
settlement. The leaders, as a rule,
claim that it would be folly to discour-
age the Southern representatives by
reducing their basis of. representation
just as they are beginning to vindi--
cate their prediction that the solid
South would tear away from her old
allegiance and the Democratic party.
Each city declares that it will pay
anything within reason to secure the
convention. Although each candidate.
claims victory on the firnal ballot. a
careful canvass to-day showed that
they approximately agreed in the re-
suit of the first ballot This canvass
gives San Francisco, 10; Pittsburg, 12;.
st. Louis and Chicago, il each. All
except San Francisco, however. agree
| that the first ballot does not indicate
the winner. Reports Of alliances be-
tween San Francisco and St. Louis
and Chicago and pittsburg were
abroad but were strenuously denied
The shrewdest politicians about the
hotel predicted that unless San Fran.
cisco won on the first or second bal.
lot her votes would break to st. Louis
and Chicago. and the contest would
lie between the Lake and Mound
Cities.
