SILVER DELEGATES.
BRYAN RECEIVED WITH APPLAUSE

He Regrets That the First Democratic
President Was Traitor.
Congressman William ]. Bryan of
Nebraska was called upon to address
the convention. Bryan's appearance
was the signal for a tremendous dem
onstration. His speech was facetious
and cutting and occasioned almost con-
tinuous applause, the delegates throw
ing their hats in the air. He compli-
mented Chicago for having a citizen
like John Mcconnell, who would march
at the head Of the democratic party
with the double shield. No man who
was in favor Of the gold standard could
talk bimetallism and be honest, he said.
''If the double standard is right" he
went on, "then monometallism is a
crime against society. (Applause.) You
might just as well have an English gen.
eral at the head of our army as an
English bank at the head of the treas
ury department. In 1896 the people of
the United States will be called upon
to decide whether the influence of this
nation shall be cast on the side of BIZ
metallism or in favor of universal gold
| standard. This question will not finally
be settled until the great common peo-
pie of the United States decide it.
1.-THE democratic party must take it's
position upon this question and by the
correctness of that position will rise or
| fall. It is to be regretted that the first
democratic president since the war
should become the tool or instrument
! in the hands OF concentrated wealth,
| the official head of communism of
pelf. Silver must be restored to it's
ancient place and the United States
must do it's part in the restoration. We
are compelled to choose between a re-
turn to the double standard and con-
| tinuation of financial distress for an
indefinite period, and to an unlimited
extent. If silver is restored at all, it
must be restored at the present legal
ratio Of 16 to 1. prolonged applause.)
illinois is the imperial state of the
west and the democracy of this day.
by meeting in this convention has earn
ed the right to lead in the fight of 1896.
The platform adopted by this conven-
| ton will be in substance the democratic
platform of 1896. Truth is unlimited
and will prevail

Loses Nice Situation.
Washington, June 5.--The president
today removed from Office G. B. Morton,
democrat, of Maine, auditor in the
treasury for the navy department.
The difficulty, which eliminated to-
day, began some time ago, when infor-
nation, it is said, reached the depart
ment that Mr.. Morton had, both during
his former and his present term OF office.
written letters of highly improper
character to persons in his native state
rejecting upon the president and Sec
rotary Carlisle.
The officials, it is said, took the trou-
BILE to verify this information and his
summary removal today is the result.

Summary of Dealings in the Past Week
Sales This Year.
Boston, June 5.-The American Wool
& Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade:
Although the market has continued
to wear that quiet exterior as has
characterized it all during the last
month, the fact remains that the sales
this week in their total equal the aver
age weekly aggregate under which we
used to call the normal trade condi-
tions. The sales this week amount to
1,477,5OO pounds domestic and 1885, 500
foreign, making a total of 3,115,0OO
against the total of 2,4O9,5OO for the pre-
vious week and a total Of 2,166,O00 for
the corresponding week last year. The
sales since January !, amount to Co.,
S64,450 against 64,613,400 G year ago."

All Day the Fire Ragged, While people
ImpOtcntly Looked On.

Bradford. Penn, June 4.-The fire at
Russell City last. night drove terror to
the heart of 500 inhabitants. At 10
clock a brisk west wind famed the
burning underbrush and hemlock tim
Der into a solid mass of fire, covering
three miles in width. The flames spread
50 rapidly that people had to
leave everything and run to a clearing
two miles distant, at Highland Corners.
Women with children in their arms ran
to escape from the fire. Many fell ex-
hausted and were trampled on, but
reached Highland in safety Nothing
is left of the once busting little place.
The fire is still burning fiercely among
the oil wells. The Northern Oil Com
pany has 20 oil wells and a number Of
tanks burning at those places now and
there is no abatement to the fury Of the
flames. 1t is impossible to estimate the
loss.
The woods leading to Clark's Mills
are one mass Of flames on both sides of
the road. How the people who live
along the road could have escaped is
beyond comprehension. There is no
communication of any kind with this
place and no news obtainable from
there, but there is no doubt that every
thing has been burned in the path Of the
fire. Every available man is fighting
fire, and there are not half enough.
There is fire in every direction, and all
efforts to check it's progress seem futile.
Coon Run, three miles from Russell
City, which was wiped out yesterday
afternoon, was entirely obliterated. The
place consisted of 81 buildings, pump
station, school house and sawmill
A ,irofo - I,
Northern Oil Company, says that while
he and his men were back firing a
stiff breeze from the west came up like
magic and in less time than it takes to
tell it the fire was upon them They ran
to the town and aroused the people to
flee for their lives. Men. women and
children made a wild race for the raft
way tracks, a distance of five miles,
while the flames played havoc with all
their belongings. The Northern COM
pany lost 40 Oil wells at this place and a
large number of rigs built for new wells
About Is tanks Of oil were consumed.
The fire at Ormsby is raging more
fiercely than ever. The place is without
water protection and the flames are de-
vouring large area of standing timber
SaWmills and a.number of houses have
been consumed. A stiff breeze is blow
ing and there is no telling what the out
come will be. The fire at West Kane,
which threatened the destruction Of
that place, is now under control. The
damage done was the burning Of nine
Oil well rigs, owned by the Griffith es-
tate, the engine house and dwelling
house.
The fire has spread to Bellies camp.
and IS oil wells are burning.

Heinrichsen's speech was interrupted
by frequent applause. At the conclusion
he said the state central committee
would announce it's list Of temporary
officers. The temporary chairman was
Judge Monroe C. Crawford Of Union

tremendous applause. The districts

He was assisted by the conductor of the
following car (508l and a friend TO the

bard. The latter refused to allow the in
jured man to give his name, as he claimed
him as a friend.

A Farmers Idea OF the Situation
The Plain Facts OF the Case.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The stringency OF the times has put
men to thinking as never before. The
pocket never has been made TO tingle
as few ever felt IT, The change
from a dual 10 a single standard OF
values Is the principal cause OF com
plant, and 1t is with this We wish TO
deal now. For whose good was this
change in the finances OF the government
made? has become at present a pertinent
inquiry. Evidently for those most in
terested in gold; certainly not for the
great mass of the people, who seldom see
gold. The farmers, the wage-workers, and
all that class are mainly interested in
sufficient amount OF money to transact
the business OF everyday life They are
satisfied with any money put in circula-
ton by the money-making power under
the Constitution, whether gold. silver.
greenbacks. or what not. Gold Is too
scarce and high TO have IL as the single
and only standard Of values AS gold
has gone up, every other commodity has
gone down, and 1t Is this shrinkage In
value that is felt so keenly by the pro-
Queer When brought in contact with
gold all commodities have shrunken in
value 10 starvation prices 10 the pro-
Queer, and yet such is the scarcity or
money the consumer finds II hard TO get

An anomalous condition Of affairs pre-
sents itself-ths whole land Astounding in
an abundance of crops. at prices lower
than ever before known; yet vast num-
bers of people can scarcely obtain suffi-
cheney TO live on. These facts are so
patent ii seems strange that the ad-
ministration will persist in paying out
nothing but gold 1T seems hard that
the whole country should be made to
suffer as never before to carry out the
ideas of those in power for the benefit
OF the great money and gold interests Of
the land. 1t Is hard to believe that the
maintenance Of our monetary system
| calls for such sacrifice on the part OF
the people. The great men who founded
the republic all favored dual standard.
and silver as well as gold. on parity
were first put In circulation. If 1t is con-
templated to place our finances on plane
with the old nations Of Europe, whose
exchequers are filled with vast boards OF
gold, the accumulation OF ages then may
the people be prepared to pass through
an ordeal never experienced before. But
how this last. when practically considered.
is to be accomplished. does not so clearly
