Harries Humphrey, general attorney tor the

going to be but little English gold that will
venture to America for investment Investors
there you know, are all god-bug investors,
and they're watching the present campaign in
America with greater interest than they ever
watched one before. If, on the other hand the
Republicans come out squarely against free sill
yer and put Sound money man up for presi-
dent, John Bull will give him all the support
in his power and English gold will come to this
country in increasing quantities"

MCKINLEY AND GOLD.

The deed is ,done-the child is born. The
Republican convento at St. Louis has nomi
mated VIM. Mckinley for president and placed
him OH gold platform, against the wishes OF
the people, who demand that silver be remone
tized, and that they-the people-be relieved
from a condition worse than slavery.
Hobart, of New Jersey, was nominated Tor
yice-president He, like Norton is London
banker. 1t is we'll
This convention will be entered on the pages
of history as the most corrupt and shameful
that has ever been held in this country The
daily papers have boldly proclaimed to the world
that millions of dollars would be used by the
advocates of gold standard to defeat silver Ill
the convention, and that if they could not buy
I'D the delegates in the convention, they would
spend their millions to defeat the convention.
Well, they won in the convention--sllVer was
turned down. Ont of their own mouths do we
condemn them.
What is the result? The friends of silver
have left the party. Senator Teller, who was
Gin at the bornin'" of that once great party,
with the representatives of five or six states
and a territory, babe the party fearful and
final farewell Mr.. Teler's farewell address
was the speech Of his life. Mr.. Cannon, of
Utah, said the Republicans of his state could
no longer hope for anything. While pleading
for silver, he broke down and cried like child.
When they came to "the parting of the ways
strong men wept.
The farce has been played by the money
power. They are trying to turn this nation
over to her enemie, but, as sure as there Is an
everything power, the efforts will come to
noueht. The ticket which has just been nom
mated by Shylock's tools will be defeated, and
the Republican party will go out in utter dark
ness. Ring down the eurtanl
A FEW days ago, we read in one OF the daily
papers that at great Christian Endeavor meetT
inp. the name of Mckinley was greeted with
enthusiastic cheers Another item in the paper
stated that, at the Southern hotel in St. Louis
-McKipleys headquarters--tiiG bar facilities
had been Increased so as to accommodate three
hundred drinkers at one time. 1t Is now IN
order for the other religious organizations to
whoop it up fpr Mckinley some more.

UNITED STATES BOND BROKERAGE.
27o Seventh Street.

New York June, 1896.
Mr.. . Dear Sir: 1t is with pecul
lar kind of dissatisfaction that am writing to
you this letter. For ever since the time that |
wrote to you the last letter, you have had ample
opportunity to become convinced that what
state, propose predict, is not mere theory,
but is founded on absolute facts and positive in
formation.
What now wish to bring to your notice is
that there will soon be an issue of United States
government bonds. The amount Of the bonds
in this issue will be Five Hundred Million Dol
lars
AS you will know the silver question is COM
ing rapidly to the 'front.' and large Withdrawals
of gold from the treasury are being made every
day, therefore according to my calculations this
issue will be very soon and the last one for
long time to come. Hence the greater need of
vigilance, protection and taking advantage of
the opportunity. Should you let this oppor-
tu1ity pass by, without doing anything, then
you can blame only yourself, for this notice
clearly describes the situation, and deserves at
least an investigation.
For the purpose of buying this entire issue of
bonds for mutual protection, and for excluding
ali other purchasers, the parties who were dur
ing the last Issue direct opponents, have formed
a syndicate. The reason for the existence OF
this syndicate must be evident to you, because
every person who participated i'll the last issue
made enormous profits.
This syndicate to smash and i'll other ways
to hinder its success, have organized a rival
syndicate with the intention of buying up
large part or perhaps the whole of the next IS
sue of the bonds.
In this syndicate that you should interest
yourself is the object of this letter to propose,
Yours respectfully, HENRY BARNA.
S. Subscription list is already opened.
Plans and calculations are all ready, and details
will be furnished on application.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democrats held their convention in Of
tawa the same day, in Rohrbaugh's magnih-
cent opera house. They organized before
noon, and adjourned till a O'Clock, at which
hour the delegates met and proceeded to
business Sam Bishop was placed in nomina-
ton, and he received over sixty votes, which
nominated him. Mr. Bishop mounted the
platform and made rousing speech, in which
he positively refused to make the race, and
withdrew from the contest, in favor of M. S.
Peters, Mr.. Peters was placed in nomination,
and, on the second ballot, he received a'major-
itv of the votes-nearly all of them. On
motion, his nomination was made unanimous
He was called on for a speech and he responded
in very few words.
Mr. Bishop, who declined to accept nomina-
ton is a young lawyer of Lawrence, and is one
of the brightest young men of the state. He
made a host of friends at Ottawa. Lawrence
and Douglas county are proud of him, and his
future is bright.
The result of Tuesdays deliberations is not
at all pleasing to the men who nominated Jack
Harris (who stands no platform, but is
known to be gold-bug), but it pleases those
who are opposed to further burdening our
nation with bonds and other debts, as well as
the misrule and corrupt methods of those who
have been, and still are, ruling this nation with
an iron hand, in the interest of the money
power.
Mr. Peters will be elected by handsome
majority.

ISAAC TRUMBO, the Utah free silverdelegate,
who has been acting as spokesman for his TEL
lows in the Republican convention, said, PRIOR
to the nomination. eff Mckinley is nominated
for president BY this convention it will not be
by the votes Of the Republican states. Analysis
of his strength shows that the bulk of his sup
port comes from the solid South and from states
that cannot be classed as Republican. Outside
OF the South, which is for him to man, and
which has not delivered vote i'll the electoral
college TO the Republican party since the war,
he has the delegations from New Jersey, Del
aware and Maryland New Jersey went Repub-
lican two years ago for the first time since Nc
Clellan ran against Lincoln. Maryland and
Delaware have always gone Democratic. In
Republican New England he has had no sup
port outside of Vermont, which was carried for
him by Redheld Proctor, eX-secretary OF war
PENNSYLVANIA is not for him, neither Is New
York, while Iowa will cast her vote for Allison.
In the West all of the Republican states, with
the exception Of Idaho, Oregon and California,
are opposed to the nomination of the Ohio man.
To offset this he has he has the delegations
from Missouri Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida and Kentucky,
and all the tier of states that have been turn
ing up brutal Democratic maiorities for gene
ration The delegates from these states are
not only for Mckinley, but for gold standard
as we'll The attitude of these delegates
sixtv-six Of whom are colored-would seem to
indicate that the elnissaries Of the New York
bankers, who went South to fix up the delega-
tons, did their work thoroughly. Another
peculiar feature is in the fact that 90 per cent.
of the men who have come here as delegates
have held federal Offices under Republican adj
minstrations, and all Of them have their light
ming rods out for other places in case Mckinley
is nominated and elected, Fully $50 OF the
o1S men who will compose this gathering are
ex-federal officials. They are for Mckinley
Just as they were for Harrison four years ago,
when they forced the latter's nomination in the
face of the opposition of the representatives
from the Republican states,'

The States included in the table
concerning which any doubt may
be suggested, are Illinois,, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas and Mich5ganE. Con-
cerning Illinois we do not think <
there is room for doubt, with Alt
geld leading the silver forces in the
State. OF the other four the gold
ties might carry any three and free
coinage would still have a majority
in the electoral college, and in view
of the powerful and ably led silver
sentiment in those States, we do
not believe the gold bugs can carry
any of them.
From the gold column as given
above it is not unlikely recruits
may be gained for silver. In a
presidential year Delaware and
Maryland will show u strong ten
dency to vote for a Democratic can
didate of any kind In Nebraska
the Morton Democrats would un-
questionsbly support the gold can
didate, but it is by no means GER
tain that the.great farming popula-
tion of the State would be of the
same way 81 thinking. Kentucky
and West Virginia are counted as
sure for a silver Democrat, and
they, are sure in spite OF the asser.
tions that they, are debatable
ground. West Virginia has a big
majority for silver, and Kentucky,
after the SENATORIAL fight, would
pile up the largest majority in its

himself thus: ''The politician is

runneth over. He inquireth con-

walk through the mud and rain to

FOR your Protection n.-C Catarrh 'Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
q blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Gold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

A Washington dispatch of May
18th says: A condemnation meet
ing of some of the delegates of the
American Protective Association
claiming to represent 20 States was
held after the convention and a
preamble and resolutions bearing
onthe Mckinley matter were adopt
ed. The names of the States repre-
scented and the delegates participat-
ing could not be obtained, and fur
ther information was denied The
preamble and resolutions adopted
follow:
Whereas, the Supreme Council of
the American Protective Association
of the United States at its session
Saturday evening by unanimous
vote adopted the report of the Ma
,tional Advisory Board, which re-
port,indorsed the action of the Ex-
lecutive Committee of the said board
and in plain language said that the
Executive Committee was justified
in publishing the political affiliation
Eof Mckinley with the Roman polit-
ical hierarchy, which afiliation is
proven by the affidavits of reputable
members of the order, and which
afidavits have never been contro-
verted except by the unsworn state
ment of Major Mckinley himself,
and therefore, as Major Mckinley
did on May IA, 1896, to a commit
tee of the National Advisory Board
in the city ofaCanton, o., state that
he heartily approved the principles
of the A. P. A., and on the following
day gave an interview to the press
denying that he had met such a
committee, thus giving the lie to
the report of the committee, which
was composed of honorable and
truthful gentlemen, and
M Whereas the members of the
Supreme Council have, during it's
session, been bounded and badger.
ed by a large Mckinley lobby com
posed of members and non-mem-
bers Of the order that has used the
most disreputable blackmailing
methods to discredit the Advisory
Board and to turn the Supreme
Council intoa Mckinley ratification
meeting, and having signally failed
to clear Mckinley of the conse-
quences OF his pro-Papal political
record, to-day, after two-thirdst of
the delegates had started for home,
attempted to take revenge by abol.-
ishing that National Advisory
Board, and accomplished the same
by vote Of 80 to 80.
Resolved, That the delegates in
condemnation meeting assembled
denounce the unwarranted inter
ference of the paid Mckinley lobby
with the affairs of the order and
denounce the cowardly denial by
Mckinley of his Endorsement of the
principles of the order given by him
to our committee; and,
Resolved, That because of his
record as reported by the National
Advisory Board we herewith pledge.
ourselves to by our influence and
efforts, accomplish his defeat; ss
