ANOTHER CONVENTION IN SIGHT.
Omaha Going After Christian En-
dcavor Meeting OF 1SOS.

Omaha Going After Christian En-
dcavor Meeting OF 1S0S.
The effort to secure the great International
Christian Endeavor convention for Omaha in
1898 is rapidly taking shape. The committee
of FIVE. appointed by the enthusiastic meet
ing OF endeavorers held at the Commercial
club rooms Tuesday evening, and consist
ing Of Messrs. Jay Burns. Arthur Chase,
A. T. Tukey, DR.. Coulter and George G.
Wallace, have their plans well laid to go
after this big convention with all the force
and influence the short time will allow.
The convention this year meets in Wash
ingtcn. ID. c., Wednesday, July s. At noon
of that day the trustees of the united So
Ciety will meet for business when all invi-
tations for the '9S convention must be laid
before them. Philadelphia, Pa, Louisville,
KY and Nashville, Tenn. are Omaha's chief
competitors. 1t is understood the trustees
prefer this year the central west and this
is In Omaha's favor, as against the long
time for preparation and large influential
and noisy delegations the other cities will
have on hand to present their claims
Omaha will so after this great gathering
with all the force possible. To this end the
committee of arrangements has called a
mass meeting of all interested in bringing
this convention to Omaha two years hence
at the Commercial club rooms, Monday
evening, June %, at o'clock, to hear the
committees report to learn what more is
needed, and to be advised as to certain
points which the committee is unable to
decide. They hope to see an enthusiastic
crowd.
The Christian Endeavor convention will
bring to Washington this year $4,000 people.
At Boston last year there were $4,000, and
at Cleveland in 1894 10000. 1t is believed
that not less than $4,000 would come to
Omaha in 1898, and many we'll informed
endeavorers believe that the number would
be much higher.
Iowa and Nebraska Endeavorers are en-
thusiastic over the movement, and will do
all in their power to help 1t on to a sue
cCssful termination.

Can Creditors Demand Gold.

LYONS, Neb., June 23.-(Special.)-The fol-
lowing question is being discussed to quite
an extent on onr streets and many do not
seem to have a clear idea of the situation:
A owes Il $780, A offers to pay b, but B
demands his pay in gold A goes to a bank
and is refused gold he then goes to the
fused gold for paper currency or silver.
Now it is claimed that A is compelled to
go to Wall street and have his money
(paper or silver discounted before he can
secure the gold to pay B: Is this true?
ID. w. GILLILAND
r has no right to refuse legal tender for
a debt, unless specifically contracted in gold.
Neither banks nor the United States
treasury refuse gold for treasury notes.
There Is no premium on gold and every
dollar of United States money is today ex-
changeable at par for every other dollar.

movement platform. When Captain
Tillman went about through the state
denouncing and charging corruption
in the administration of which he was
a member, he felt it was his duty to
defend it. He did so to the best Of
his ability, and Captain Tillman had
complimented him for his honesty and
courage. He had no apologies to
make for his course. When, after the
election, The News and Courier asked
his opinion as to what the opposition
of Tillnan should de-, be replied that
it should accept the result and do all
in its power to help make the admin
istration as successfil as possible
Cleveland had promised him the dis
trict attorneyship of South Carolina
but on account of this letter, the posi-
ton was given to another. Next
Judge Earle went into discussion oi
national issues, declared himself fol
the free coinage of silver and in favor
of an income tax, etc.
Duncan was the next speaker. He
eulogized Tillman and said that the
senator was greater than the president
that by his speech at Chicago, he had
blazed out the way for the nomination
of Bryan. Mr.. Duncan criticized
Earle for not having joined the cam
paign earlier, and also for not being
identified with either faction in the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-07-18

state, saying that he could not COM
mand the respect of either. Next he
devoted himself to Evans, saying that
the administration had been success
in spite of him. He wanted Evans to
answer one question, saying that he
would then have something more to
say. The question was: "Did you
have any understanding with Rhind at
the time you recommended him to re-
fund this debt; and if 80, what was
the understandings" Then he said
that only the other day Evans had
convinced man that he had not un-
derstood his original statement about
this matter and tried to make the man
take different view. "Who was it ?"
asked Evans. "Larry Gantt," replied
Duncan, "That is a lie;" said Evans,
"I never did any such thing" Dun.
can said Evans's only answer was:
"That's lie." No brave man will
take advantage of speaker under
such circumstances, especially when he
has paid men around him TO protect
his cowardly bones. Next, Duncan
said that Tillman did not know any
thing about Evans's connection with
the bond deal. Evans denied the as
sertion. Duncan asked if Evans meant
to assert that Tillman would knowingly
defend culprit. Evans: Certainly
he would not. I am not guilty. You
are the only man that charges that l
am"
Evans was the next speaker. Short
fly after be commenced to speak, Judge
Earle arose with a bit Of paper in his
hand and requested permission to ask
few questions. Evans acquiesced.
Judge Earle-As the chairman Of the
state board of control, how many
meetings did your board have in 1895?
Governor Evans did not remember
whether the board had any meetings
at all.
Judge Earle-When you took charge
of the dispensary was the insurance
all placed with one agentP
Governor Evans said that the insar-
ance matter was entirely in the hands
