in their heads they became easy
converts.
The attempt to subordinate the
silver question to the tariff was
made for personal reasons by sew
eral delegations supporting certain
candidates for president of the
United States that failed to work.
l did not hear the subject seriously
put forth more than once. The
conclusion was inevitable that silver
must be the issue at our next ma
tiOnal convention.
There was considerable talk about
presidential candidates. Mckinley
had host of friends in the conven-
ton. Reeds name brought down
the house. l considered him the
strongest man in the convention.
Cameron and a dozen others had
their friends on hand. Governor
Evans of Tennessee and Senator
Dubois were the only names | heard
in connection with second place on
the national ticket. haven't the
slightest idea Dubois would take
the nomination without free silver
platform to stand on.
There was not a solid delegation
for gold in the convention the day
of the adjournment. They were
split hopelessly. 1t was the most
disappointed lot of men l ever saw
who left that night for New York,
Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.


Bartlett Sinclair, ESQ.,, One of the
Delegates. Expresses His Views.
Editor Herald:
Since the adjournment of the
convention of League clubs at Cleve-
land there has been a great deal of
speculation concerning the value of
its work, especially as it affects sill
yer. The silver question was not
only the most important question
before the convention, but the ONLY
question. There was no public dis
cussion of the question on the floor
of the convention, but the matter
was fought in a quiet way in COM
mittees and between the delegates
privately. OF course the intense
opposition to bimetallism came from
the east and the south. At first
blush the silver men of the west
seemed hopelessly in the minority.
But a change in favor of silver was
apparent almost from the start. On
the last day of the convention it
would have been quite impossible
to say whether a majority of the
1000 delegates were against or in
favor Of silver The enthusiasm of
the convention had settled upon
the western delegates, and the re-
serve Of the gold men which came
over them made wonderful con-
trast with the buoyancy which they
displayed at the outstart. At the
close of the session the silver men
felt as if they had gained, if not a
majority, at least a great host of
converts; on the other hand, the
gold men seemed to feel that they
had lost ground. In passing it
ought to be said that this whole
some change of sentiment was
largely due to the skillful manage
ment of our own Senator DUBOIS,
Senator Carter and Col. Trumbo.
Three men never worked harder for
cause, or with finer judgment,
than they did for silver. Dubois
especially excited the admiration
of every man in the convention by
his quiet, plucky and effective eff
forts. His equal was not in the
convention.
Led by Dubois the silver men
favored and fought for a plank in
the address proposed to be made, as
had been done at other conventions,
a clear declaration in favor of indie
pendent bimetalism at a ratio of 16
to l. 1t was to be that or fight on
the floor of the convention. The
question was debated for two days
by the committee on resolutions.
At last, as the contest began to look
interminable, compromise was
fixed up by standing upon the con
stitutional ground of the Leagues
inability to declare a platform OF
bind the party. This ended the
only contest in the convention. 1t
was not, as has been said, party
policy that dictated that course. II
was thought the best way to close
a debate concerning subject which
eastern delegates had failed to fully
consider. 1t was hoped that d
years study of the subject would
result in a silver convention for the
nomination of presidential candi-
dates in 1896. At the rate of in
crease in favor of silver manifested
during the three days at Cleveland
this hope is reasonable. l do not
think, judging from the intensity
of the feeling of western silver re-
publicans, that the party could bt
held in tact without a declaration
in favor of silver. l believe the
policy will be silver or bolt, anC
yet l think boiling will not have

Expansion of Water in Freezing.

Mr.. Prompt read a paper before the
French Academy of Sciences concern
ing the augmentation of the volume
of water at the moment Of it's trans
formation into ice. His experiments
were made with a view to ascertain
the cause Of this phenomenon. TO this
end he caused water to freeze in a
transparent bulb. According TO Nh.
Prompt. first a clear and transparent
layer of ice formed. then another layer
traversed by streaks at the points of
which gaseous bubbles appear. These
bubbles compressed more and more by
the formation of the ice. eventually
break the vessel in which freezing wa
ter is confined. BY using distilled wa
ter, from which all gases had been set
free, and protecting the water by COW
ering it with oil, Prompt claims TO

Merits of short-Horncd Cattle.

Considering the past history and the
attention and the lack of attention
bestowed upon the race the short
horned cattle stand almost at the
head of the list as the most profitable
COWS that American farmers can own.
Exceptions are not even made for the
Jerseys. The latter may hold the rec
ord for butter producing but after that
is said the merits of these COWS have
been exhausted.
II do not think the ideal COW for
the farm, or even for the dairy, is one
that is small of frame, and good only
for producing milk and cream. We
need animals that will sell well when

Too Much Hustle.

Did II ever strike some of our hust-
ling farmers that there is such a thing
as too much hustle? l have in my mind
a typical example. lie has the reputa-
ton of always being ahead of his neigh
bors with his work. Last spring he
WAS sowing oats before any OF his
neighbors. Cold weather came and he
was resolving after all the other farm
ers were done. lie was first to plant
corn. but frOsts injured il so badly that
il was stunted or had to be replanted.
His small grains are cut too green, his
corn husked before it is ripe, his ground
plowed too shallow because he must
get through before his neighbors. This
man is one of many. He is always be-
hind because too far ahead. 1t is an
admirable plan to rush the work, not
Iet the work rush you, but use good
'rlnent, as this is absolutely essen
to be SUCCESSFULLY. Gordon, lii.
