COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
General weaver's Plan.

General Weaver was IN Colorado
few days ago and in an interview
with a reporter Of the Road, in reply
to the question of what he thought
was the best course to pursue by,
friends of silver in 1896 he said.
"There is but one sensible or pa
triotic thing left to do, and the sooner
all true silver men realize the situa-
ton the better it will be all around,
We have passed beyond the period of
platform making and we are now con
fronted with the great tactical ques-
ton of how TO get together. We
must all unite like sensible men upon
an independent ticket and thus meet
each other half way. This is alike
honorable to all and it is the only.
practicable course left. For the sill.
yer forces to succeed there must be
polled 100000 votes for our ticket.
1t is an evidence OF political imbecilty
for any man to suppose for moment
that any one party opposed to the
Republican party can muster such IL
force single handed and alone. The
head of the ticket should be some
man of Democratic antecedents like
Sibley, who with drawn sword, has
stepped out of his party and declared
war for the people. The vice presi-
dent should be some prominent Re-
publican like Judge Caldwell, who is
equally brave, and as. pronounced for
financial reform. The Populist party
is composed Of men who for twenty
years have held the banner of prin-
ciple above the banner of party.
They will not fail in this crisis. They
can be relied upon to take an honor.
able and high minded course. They
can pursue the path above indicated
and retain their self respect and pre-
serve their organization for future
usefulness, but.all notion that they
can he beguiled into merging their
forces into either of the old parties
may as well, if entertained, be aban-
doned now. 1t must be understood
that [ am not expressing my prefer
ences but merely my judgement as
student of the situation. For twenty
years with each returning solstice we
have witnessed the crucifixion OF
every reform which we hold dear. If
we are now willing to meet other rc-
form forces of later formation half
way nothing further can reasonably
be required. | counsel Populists
everywhere to close up their lines,
take a firm stand, treat all kindred
bodies as brethren and advise and
work and pray for unity of action
along independent lines"

CLEVELAND IN CONFERENCE.
OIney and Herbert Discuss the Situ-
alton With Him.

Washington, Dec. 2l.-Seoretary-~ ~Olney
and Secretary Herbert had long con-
ference with President Cleveland to-day
about the present and probable future as
poets of the Venezuelan situation. Mr.
OIney and the President, it is under
stood, discussed the appointment of the
Venezuelan commission authorized by
congress. According to the wording of
the resolution authorizing the commits
sion the commissioners are directed to as
certain the true divisional boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana. This
of course, makes their work so much more
difficult, and increases their responsible
ity. 1t was said to-day that when the
report of the commission is received the
President will adopt one of two courses
He will either send the findings of the
commission to congress, with a request
for action, or else issue a proclamation
declaring the true boundary to be that as
certained by the commissioners. What
would follow this latter action can only
be surmised, but it is probable that the
President would use 1T as the basis for
another attempt to secure Great Britain's
agreement to arbitration, before taking
any radical STEP provided, of course, that
the commissioners did not sustain the ex-
treme claims of the British 20 the dis
puted territory.
Mr.. Herbert's talk with the President
related, it is understood, to the visit of
Rear Admiral Bunes squadron to the
vicinity of the Venezuelan coast 1t can
not be ascertained whether any change
was made in the itinerary. Admiral
Bunce will have an interview tomorrow
with Secretary Herbert on the subject.

The programme which the republican

coin redemption fund, and for no other
purpose, with proviso that the redeemed
greenbacks shall not be used to meet cur
rent expenses, but be retained so long as
necessary as part of the redemption fund;
to authorize national banks to issue Cir
culaHng notes to the par Of the bonds de-
posted as security, and to reduce the tax
on national bank circulation; and to au-
thorize the issue of certificates of indebt-

A RIOT AT A MEETING.
Italian Factions Come TO Blows over
the AbyssInian War.

Rome, Dec. H.-The italian soldiers slain
in the battle Of Ambalagi, Abyssinia,
were commemorated this morning at a
meeting held in the University of Rome.
The gathering contained a strong leaven
of socialists, who interrupted an address
delivered by Prof orstori by crying,
Down with the African policy of Girls
pi." The rest OF the audience retorted
with cries of viva Italy and the Italian
army and the uproar was continued
for some time.
Some of the socialists cried viva Men
elek," whereupon riot ensued in which
chairs We're thrown and fists were free
ly used, many of the fighters being in
jured.
Several students were taken into GUS
tody by the police outside of the uniVer-
sity because they refused to dispense when
ordered TO do so. Later crowd of 300
students placed a wreath upon the monu-
ment erected in memory of the Italians
killed at Dogali.
The Senate this afternoon discussed and
approved by a large majority the credit
asked for by the government to carry
on the campaign in Abyssinia. State
ments were made by Prime Minister Crispi
and Signor SonninO minister Of the treas
ury, that the government had no intention
of occupying the Abyssinian province of
Shoa. Italys aim, they say, was to re-
cover and retain the territory that she had
already occupied for the defense and se-
curity Of her colony in Erythrea.

GORDON FULL OF PATRIOTISM.
North and South Ready to Rally
Around the Flag.

Around the Flag.
Chicago, Dec. 21.-Gen. John b. Gordon
of Georgia, delivered a stirring address
tonight at Central Music Hail. on the
First days of the Confederacy'' and in
cidentally struck a popular chord by a
patriotic reference to the contingency of
war with Great Britain. In dwelling with
mingled sentiments of pathos and humor
on the unbreakable spirit which dominat-
ed the soldiers of the north and south,
spirit which lived among millions of boys
in the union to-day, the sons Of those
who saved the union, and with it the re-
public could enforce the Monroe doctrine
or any other doctrine. If this spirit was
transmitted to pOsterity, the united re-
public could bid defiance to the world in
arms.
He added: I'm the face Of the contin-
gency which is just in front of us in
view of our melancholy complications with
the British nation, the question is in or
der whether the republic produce such
leaders for coming events as the north
and south gloried in, and such heroes as
were behind them? I answer yes; what
every may be the measureless calamity of
of the republic required it. l speak for the
southland when 1 say that, with all their
sufferings under conditions of war; they
will be found with absolute unanimity and
with unbounded enthusiasm, saying that
argument Is exhausted and that they VIII
stand by our arms. / undertake to say
for the ex-confederates gray headed as
flag of this republic with the first tocsin
of war, and their old rebel yell viii be
heard beyond the Canadian borders"
Great cheering followed this sentiment.

VISIT OF oUBA's ENVOY.
Tomas Estrada Palma Calls on Sec
retnry OIney.

Washington, Dec. H.-Tomas Estrada
Palma, who claims to be the envoy of the
Cuban provisional government to the gov
eminent of the United States, called on
Secretary Olney at the state department
to-day. He was accompanied by Gonzalo
Quesada, the secretary of the Cuban rev.
olutionary committee in New York, and
Mr. Rubens, who was introduced as Senor
Palma's secretary, and who is said to be
from Florida. All three had gone to the
state department early in the day under
escort of Senator Call, but Mr. Olney
was unable to see them at the time and
the later visit was arranged for. Senator
Call was not with the Cubans when they
finally saw Mr.. Olney The visit was Of
short duration. Palma and his compan-
ions are citizens of the United States
and after their visit to-day the first
named said that they had called merely
as citizens of the country, to pay their
respects TO the Secretary of State
mo mention Of Cuban affairs and no
hint or suggestion concerning Cuban
recognition has been made" he said. The
call was merely pleasantly informal" It
is probable that when Senator Call made
the appointment for the visit OF Senor
Palma and his associates, he did so with
a distinct understanding with Secretary
Olney that the three gentlemen would
merely pay their respects as citizens and
would not mention Cuba. senOr Palma
will return 10 New York tonight
