Don't Put 1t OFF.

The necessity of spring medicine
is universally admitted. This is the
best time of year in which to purify
the blood, to restore the lost appetite,
and to build up the entire system, as
the body is now peculiarly susceptible
to benefit from medicine. The great
popularity attained by Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, owing to its real merit and its
remarkable success, has established it
as the very best medicine to take in
the spring. 1t cures scrofula, salt
rheum, and all humors, biliousness,
dyspepsia, headache, kidney and liver.
complaints, catarrh. and all affections
caused or promoted by low state of the
system or impure blood Don't put
it off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla
now. 1t will do you good.

cause great increase of sickness and
death. Chronic catarrh and consumt-
ton always begin BY catching cold
Thousands have started on the road
toward lifetime of misery from chron-
ic catarrh or sure death from con
sumption. 1t is not too late to be
saved and restored to life Of health
and activity. Pe-ru-na will do it. 1t
never fails to quick y cure chronic ca
tarrh less than two years old. OF
course Pe-ru-na cures thousands and
thousands of cases of chronic catarIh
that have run for many years, but in
cases that are of more-recent origin il
cures, quickly, certainly, and perna-
nently. Every case of cold or cough
that has resulted from the effects OF
our severe winter could now be cured
in short time by Pe-ru-na. Not a
single one need fail.
All those taking Pe-ru-na who de-
sire the advice of DIR. Hartman about
their cases should write, giving age,
sex, disease, and time of sickness, ard

treatment now will prevent years Of
suffering, and in many cases death.

he said, 1--WE will be kicked about by every
foreigner in the country"
Money was then asked for to help defray
the expense of the trip and about $40 was
raised. Over 100 volunteers signed the
roll. The meeting then adjourned to Ar
lington Hall, Thirty-frst and Indiana
avenues. Here telegram was received
from Governor Altgeld, promising that the
negroes at Spring Valley would be pro-
tected in the exercise of their legal rights.
A telegram was also received from the
Mayor of the lawless town, inviting dele
cation of colored citizens to visit the place
and investigate the affair. The invitation
was accepted and q committee of five ap-
pointed to go there at once. Permanent
organization was effected by the election
of officers and another meeting will be held
tomorrow.
PEORIA, ILL, Aug. 6.-The colored
men who were to leave here to-day to as
sist their brethren at Spring Valley have
abandoned their plan.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-07

gathering completely. He was temporary
and permanent chairman, and in opening
the convention stated deliberately that the
time had come for the silver men to as
sumo control of the party machinery and
run it with a view to accomplishing their
ends. BANDS idea of reorganization is
looked upon as bad politics, as it was a
terrible slash at the old State Central
Committe-the Maffitt- Francis administra-
ton machine.
The relations between the turned-down
committeeman and party colleagues are SO
strained that in the opening campaign
conducted on free.silver basis they will
practically be without party alliance.
BANDS fight was won after bitter caucus
with Senator Cockrell, Governor Stone and
other prominent leaders, who counseled
compromise. The delegates were with
him and his programme was enthusiastic
cally carried out. The convention was
noticeable for lack of speechmaking, con-
sidering the weighty nature of the busi-
ness transacted. There were no fights on
the floor of the convention and the reor-
ganization and the adoption of the plat
form were carried by practically unani-
nous vote.
The most interesting part of the proceed
ings to-day was the fight over the platform
in the meeting of comm ittee of resolu-
lutions. Several were in favor of reso-
luton requesting the resignation of Chair
man Maffiitt and other goldbug members
of the committee. Others argued in favor
of a resolution providing for the election
of the chairman of the committee by the
State convention. A few were desirous of
adopting resolutions censuring the COM
mittee for its alleged antipathy toward the
convention, and some wanted resolutions
indorsing Bland for President and Stone
for United States Senator to succeed Senator
Vest.
The great fight, however, was made on
resolution introduced by Colonel Nick
Bell of st. Louis, urging the President of
the United States to use the full power of
the General Government in obtaining an
international agreement whereby both sill
yer and gold may be freely coined and
used as money in the trade of the world
The wrangIe lasted nearly two hours, and
at times some highly personal language
was hurled back and forth. The conven-
TONS conservative element finally sue
ceeded in defeating each of the resolu-
tions referred to. and only the resolutions
which the convention adopted were agreed
to.
1t was about 1890 o'clock when Vice
Chairman John H. Carroll, in the absence
of Chairman Maffitt, called the convention
to order. He stated the purpose of the
conference and introduced Hon. r. P.
Bland, who was vociferously received. Mr..
Bland said the convention was going to
discuss the financial question, and he
hoped it's proceedings would be void of
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-07

personality and that nothing but harmony
would characterize its deliberations.
He stated that it was the desire of the
State delegates that the State committee
should be enlarged and he hoped that this
enlargement would be made in such way
as to leave no bitter feeling or disappointed
hopes. At the conclusion of Mr.. Bland S
remarks the delegates named their repre-
sentative on each committee. After the
committee had been selected the conven-
ton took recess until P. NJ.
The convention reassembled at 2 P. NJ.
and after the committee on credentials had
recommended that all credentials be filed
with the chair the report of the committee
on permanent organization was called for.
The temporary organization was made per-
manent. 1t was recommended that the
present State committee be enlarged by
the addition of one committeeman from
each Congressional district and by the cleo
ton by the convention of four committee
men-at-large-me the total committee
thirtv-four instead of fifteen as at present
constituted. The proposition was carried
-420 to 81.
There was another recess to allow the
committee ON resolutions to report and the
committee came to order at CLOCK After
a wait of half an hour, which was be-
guiled by speeches and music the commit
tee reported as follows:
The Federal constitution names silver and
gold together as the money metals of the
United States. The first coinage bill passed by
Congress under the constitution made the sill
yer dollar the unit of value, and admitted gold
to free coinage at a ratio measured by the sill
yer dollar unit. From the beginning of the
Government, following the policy formulated
by Thomas Jefferson and firmly established by
Jackson, the Democratic party has been the
party of bimetallism, favoring the free coinage
of both silver and gold at the National mints,
and opposed to farming out to banking cor

over the course and the Emerald led the
schooners.
The regatta committee summoned the
captains OF all the yachts in the feet
aboard the flagship after the race and an
nounced that the special cup offered by
Secretary Oddie for the sloop making the
best runs had been awarded to the Queen
Nab and that there was tie between the
Amorta and Constellation for the cup Of
fered by Fleet Captain Robinson for the
schooner making the best runs. The
special cup offered by ex-Commodore
Bergen for the yacht, irrespective of class,
making the best runs was awarded to the
Constellation.
AT $50 P. NJ. the feet was disbanded.
This evening there was grand illumina-
ton of the harbor and the city parade of
illuminated floats and elaborate fireworks
displayed.
Tomorrow will be the first of the four
days of special races which Newport citi-
zens have arranged. There will be races
1or schooners in the usual classes off Bren-
tons Reef. The Vigilant will not take part
IN races for sloops Thursday and Satur-
day, the reasons for which are as follows
OedT oTS: nereby withdraw the V1g1lants
entries for races on Thursday and Saturday.
AS you are aware, Mr.. Gould and 1, as his rep
resentatiye, fitted out and prepared the Vigi-
liant for racing for no purpose in the world ex-
cept to assistin developing the fastest American
yacht and thus aid in the defense of the Amer
lea cup. To this end Mr.. Gould has cheer
fully gone to great expense and I have taken
much pains and spent much time. I cannot,
however, consent to continue racing the Vigi-
liant unless the contests are to be conducted &C
cording to the rules of yachting.
have now twice given way to the Defender
at the start of the race when the Vigilant had
clearly the right of way, because 1 was un-
willing to risk collision which would leave
America without a cup defender. However
willing may have been to waive my rights in
the past am not willing to go on waving
them indefinitely, and even if were it is quite
possible that a situation might be created in
which collision would be inevitable.
AS you know, I have already protested the
Defenders action at the start on July %. In
to-day's race the Defender again violated the
rules and forced the Vigilant out of position
to which she was entitled. In both cases there
would have been a collision if the Vigliant had
not given way. In each case the responsibility
OF avoiding an accident was cast upon me. II
would not be fair either TO the yacht or her
! owner to continue racing under this condition

OSWEGO, N. Y, Aug. 6.-While Buffalo
Bills Wild West show was giving per-
formance before 1900 people here this
afternoon terrific wind and rain storm
struck the town. The immense dressing
tent was blown to tatters and many of the
men were injured. The horses with the
show were stampeded.
Following this the east half of the can
vas covering the grand stand was blown
away, and the 5000 people sheltered in that
part of the field rushed down off the seats
in wild panic. Many women and chill
dren were trampled upon and badly hurt,
but were soon assisted away to their homes.
Among the severely hurt is an employe
of the show named Brown, who is at the
City Hospital with a fractured skull. A
little girl was nearly drowned, but assist
ance reached her IN time to save her life,

Rough Weather.

COWEs, Eng, Aug. 6.-Five yachts
were expected to start to-day in the race
for her Maiesty's cup over the old Queens
course, starting from off the castle, round
the Bullock Patch buoy, outside the Nab
ightship, thence around the Lymington
ship buoy and back to Cowes, fifty miles.
They were the Hester, Czarina and
Meteor, belonging to Emperor William,
the Britannia and the Varina. The race,
however, resulted in fzzle, the weather
apparently frightening all the yachts en-
tered in the contest except the Britannia.
The failure of Emperor Williams yacht
Meteor to start caused good deal of COM
ment for a time. The Meteor flew her
racing flag and had her mainsail up all
morning and only lowered the flag when
the weather became worse. The high
wind and heavy sea spoiled any chance
she had of defeating the Britannia.
