BR|CE BADLY BEATEN,
DoWned by Free Silver
Democrats Of
Ohio.
DISGRUNTLED MEN FLED,
The Senator'S Following Then
Held Convention of
Its Own.
DISGRUNTLED MEN FLED.
WHITE METAL ADVOCATES WON.
Ringing Resolutions Adopted De-
manding Free and Unlimited
Coinage.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. 17.-Free sill
yer won signal victory to-day in the
Democratic county convention to select
delegates to the State convention next
Thursday in Springfield.
The silver men went into the convent ton
with the avowed determination to pass a
sixteen to one resolution and to throw the
strength of the county against Senator Cal
vim S. Brice, who hopes to be returned to
the Senate should the next Legislature be
Democratic.
The test vote on chairman succeeded in
the seating of Hon. Alfred Whitaker, the
silver party's candidate for chairman, by q
vote of 227 to 1885, Seeing that they were
hopelessly defeated, the Brice crowd picked
quarrel with the house, withdrew in a
body and held q rump convention else
where, selecting a contesting delegation to
go TO Springfield. The real convention
then passed the following resolutions by
a unanimous vote:
ResoEped, That gold and silver coins, not one
to the exclusion of the other, but alike, are the
money of the constitution; that a monetary
system based upon the free coinage of both
precious metals has broader foundation and
is less liable to fuctuation than monornetal-
ism.
That we denounce the Republican legislation
which demonetized silver, and the policy that
discriminates against the silver dollars and
makes them tokens instead of using them as
legal tender money.
That we hold to the use of both gold and sill
yer as the standard money of the country and
to the coinage of both gold and silver without
discriminating against either metal or charge
for mindng.
That the dollar unit of coinage of both metals
will be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable
value under free coinage.
That we favor the maintenance of the parity
OF the two metals and the equal power of every
dollar at all times In the markets and in the
payment of debts, and we demand that all
paper currency shall be kept at par with and
redeemablein coin.
That we are in favor of the re-enactment of
the law for opening of the mints to the free
coinage of silver and gold on a ratio OF l6 to /,
without waiting for an international agree
ment, and we insist upon this policy as espe-
cially necessary for the protection of the farm
ers, manufacturers and laboring classes, the
first and most defenseless victims of an un-
stable, fuctuating and decreasing currency.
The following resolution condemnatory
of Senator Brice was also adopted:
That :he delegation reelected to-day be in
structed to vote as unit in favor of any
proposition which will lead to the retirement
of Calvin S. Brice as Senator and as q leader in
the Democratic party.
Redhot speeches condemning Brice were
made by several men prominent in State
politics.

BEATRICE, NEBR.. Aug. 17.-City Clerk
j. T. Dhillips, arrested yesterday on the
charge of forging city warrants, has fled
from the city. When an examination of
his accounts began this morning, the
proof of his guilt seemed so strong that his
bondsmen surrendered him. Phillips evil
IDENTIFY got news of this action, for an hour
later when search for him was made he
was missing.
A farmer coming to the city says he saw
Phillips in cornfield several miles out,
and later report from a nearby town
says he boarded the southbound Rock
Island train at that place. An effort will
be made to capture him. The amount OF
his shortage is not yet known.

failed last month, on charge of having
forged his brothers. signature to $75. 900 in

was able to easily secure bondsmen and
was released. 1t is thought that he will
certainly be proven guilty, as his brother
has stated under oath that his signatures
are forgeries. Stewart was leading man
in business and church circles, and was
treasurer for various societies.

her hearing at o'clock and upon

1t appears, from the woman's story,
that the constable came to her house
before she was out of bed, and while she
was in the act Of dressing to let him in

Quay as 70 the probabilities of his sue

on the other hand. they argue that
If they are Quay's figures and he gave
them out himself it is the most abject
confe ssion of weakness he has ever
made. Indeed, some OF them do not
hesitate to express their fear that the
senator is a victim of political paresis.
The figures of Mr. Quay are intended
to stimulate the fainting hearts of his
interior friends who are tumbling over
each other in their efforts to get to the
support Of Governor Hastings. Not a
man IN the Quay camp in Philadelphia
or out Of 1t has an atom of confidence
In these figures. Even Saturnine An
drews, VINO barely smiles. grinned all
over when he sot these figures and said
to Leach: Wont the people be a lit
tie suspicious Of the old man trying
the experiment of talking at this late
day" As a matter of fact the figures
given out by Senator Quay are so gross
ly improbable that they are ridiculous
and have fallen fiat and very far from
their purposes.
The greatest interest is manifested
here over the result in Lackawanna to-
morrow. The knowledge that Quay
has dumped something like $4,000 into
the county with which to buy miners
has added to the interest. The feeling
here is that the sturdy sons of toll will
resent this Insult to their political in
tegrity by overwhelmingly defeating
the Quay crowd.

Ouny's Statements.
Harrisburg, Pa, July 1l.-Charles
Emory Smith c. L. Magee, Charles f.
Voorhees, and others had conference
with Governor Hastings at the execu-
tive mansion tonight. Before going to
the mansion Mr.. Magee was asked
about Senator Quay's statement pub
lished in the United Press dispatches
this morning and said:
Colonel Quay claims that out of 1856
delegates already elected he has 101.
leaving 50 for Governor Hastings and
Chairman Gilkason. The truth is that
of the l35 delegates already elected 6S
are committed to Colonel Gilkeson.
"Colonal Quay also claims that his
total vote in the convention will be
1S4 and that Of his opponent 1O5. AL
legheny has already elected twenty
three delegates for Gilkeson. The stout
est Quay adherents concede Gilkeson
siNty-five votes in Philadelphia That
Is a total of eighty-eight in these two
counties. The absurdity of Colonel
Quay's statement that Gilkeson will
only have los votes in the convention
can be easily seen, as it only gives Gill
keson seventeen delegates outside of
these two counties. while the truth is
that forty-five delegates have already
been elected for him outside of phila-
delrhia and Allegheny. With the six
ty-eight delegates ALREADY elected for
Gilkeson and the sixty-five he will get
in Philadelphia his total vote is l33 or
within twelve votes of enough to elect
without counting anything from the
eighty-four delegates yet to be elected
outside of Philadelphia. The chances
are that Colonel Quay in claiming a
majority Of severty-n,ne delegates for
himself has given about the figures of
Colonel Gjlkeson's majority over him"
