eventually do more to open the eyes
of the Republicans of the east to the
correctness of the position of the silver
men than anything that might be done
after it became evident that the sill
yer cause was a forlorn hope within
that convention.
THE adoption of the gold plank offers
life Will the party prove equal to
the occasion? I have seen what money
did at St Louis. / think it will ac-
complish quite as much at Chicago. II
it does, the question is: What are
Republicans to do? They might stand
by their party, with all its faults, for
it has redeeming features, but confess
that the immediate future is filled
with perplexing uncertainties.
Il did not bolt the convention 1oT l
felt that every Republican in Utah
should have direct voice in deciding
so momentous a question as one in
volving the disruption of the party and
the sacrificing of its great tenet-that
of protection. Personally, do not
subscribe to the gold plank, nor do I
wish to support a gold president, but
that is a matter of individual opinion.
To rebulSe the party-to declare against
it's false doctrines-the power lies with
each and every member of that party
y
the common level of American citi-
zens with equal opportunity to ap-
prove or disapprove-with equal claim
to the right to be heard. If the Re-
publicans of Utah are opposed to the
platform and candidate; if. under the
present status of the party, they can
not conscientiously give it support, or
advance its best interests; if, in their
judgment it has fallen from grace,
| the proper course, and the only way,
to withdraw from the party is by mass
| convention, when in common council
they can pronounce against the nation
al convention and the party.
THE situation at st. Louis was this:
The majority of the Republicans were
| from the great east where tariff has
been. and is, the issue, and little is
known of the money question. Unlike
the western people, they have not been
| forced to investigate the money ques-
! ton, and, when the issue came sud-
denly upon them, they unwittingly
trusted to the bankers, the supposed
wdseacres of finance. But when the
campaign of education lately started
! by the silver men, shall embrace the
east, my firm belief is that the most
ardent and devoted advocates of remon-
etization will be the rank and file OF
the Republicans of that section, unless
the late unpleasant events have biased
them beyond redemption"

CUBAN CHAT.
ST. Louis Platform Causes Uneasi-
ness in Spain.


ness in Spain.
NEW YORK. June "a special to
the Herald from Madrid says: The
statement contained in the Daily Mail
telegram to the effect that the plat
form adopted by the St. Louis con-
vention causes uneasiness in Spain and
that it is feared a conflict with the
United States has now almost a fixed
date. is misleading. While there does
exist a certain feeling of unrest on &C
count of the declaration of the con-
vention touching the Cuban question,
it must not be imagined that it is
dictated by fear, but rather springs
from very natural desire TO know the
worst at once There can be no ques-
ton that Spain is making preparations
for eventualities, but she is certainly
not doing so with any intention OF max
ing war, but in order to be in as good
a position as possible to defend herself
if attacked. The purchase of ironclads
can scarcely be said to have been the
outcome of any immediate scare, as
this step has been in contemplation
for some time. but there is no doubt
that the action of the government has
been FASTENED by recent events. The
chief idea in Strengthening the navy
is to be able to put stop to f1libuster-
ing and privateering. There is not
any great apprehension that Mr.. Nc
Kinley WILL if elected. act very differ
emily. in that capacity than Mr.. Cleve-
=, land has done.

IN THE POLITICAL ARENA

Colonel Isaac Trumbo arrived home
Yesterday after having made trip to
New York from ST. Louis, where he
went as delegate to the Republican
convention from Utah.
Colonel Trumbo was seen at his home,
the Gardo house, last evening and con-
sented to make statement concern
ing his connection with the silver con-
test and his reasons for staying in the
convention. He said:
while in St. Louis and prior to the
convention, did all in my power to
get a free coinage plank inserted in
the platform, and / believe l can say
without egotism, that none labored
with greater energy and resolution
than 1 did to obtain a favorable ex-
preston from that body of men. To
get out and quietly work and toll with
the hard-headed fasteners, with moth
ing bur Mckinley and tariff in their
craniums was not the most desirable
task a man could have selected and
one thing is certain, the spectacular
and dramatic was altogether absent,
but to my mind the extent OF the good
to be accomplished and the faithful full
fillment of the mission to be performed
by western men lay entirely within
that sphere of work. Those who have
| attended conventions are aware that
the elective work of such body is
performed, not on the convention floor
but during the period of organiza ton
| when platforms are being developed
| and candidates slated, and with that
knowledge in mind and the welfare OF
Utah at heart, l did all that lay with
| in my power by going personally te
each and every delegation of Influence
with whom I had an acquaintance
| and diligently striving to advance the
cause of silver, wool and lead
Failing to gain an out-and-out dec
laration for free silver, and knowing
that a straddle would but promote {
policy of deception, / viewed the gold
plank of PIatt's as a means of getting
| the issue squarely before the Ameri
can people, and, therefore, looked upor
it as a radical declaration which viii

ELMER FRIsKE so INJURED THAT,
HE WILL PROBABLY DIE.
The Little Fellow Was Only Two
Years Old and Wandered Onto the
Union Pacific Tracks-Skun Brok-
en- and other Injuries Sustained.

A very distressing accident happened
on the Union Pacific tracks near Sec
end West and Tenth South street yes
terday morning, as q result of which
little Elmer LIE Roy Friske, aged 2
years and 2 months, will probably die,
The little fellow was playing in the
grass and weeds near his parents
home, wandered on to the tracks and
the 7:45 south-bound train came along
at lively rate and struck the child,
breaking its skull and hurting it's bruis-
ed body into the water ditch, from
which it was picked up a moment later
more dead than alive
The train was stopped as quickly as
possible and backed up to the Salt
Lake Ice company's place, from where
DIR. Wright was telephoned for Soon
afterwards the doctor arrived at the
child's home, and on making an ex-
animation found that the little ones
skull had been completely lifted up,
laying bare the brain. His left eye
and the side of his head were also
badly injured and he lost great deal
Of blood before the physician arrived.
His chances of recovery are very
slight, but at last accounts he was
doing as we'll as could be expected
under the circumstances.
The accident appears to be one for
which the railroad company is not to
blame.

HELP IS NEEDED.

The board of trade held special
meeting to consider means of helping
the families of the victims 1t was
decided TO send an appeal to the boards
Of trade throughout the east for sub
scriptions. At present there are esti-
mated to he about twenty-five widows
and ninety orphans as result of the
disaster.
James Lanigan, a son of the entomb-
ed superintendent, created sensation
here late tonight, by declaring THAT he
succeeded in crawling over the firsi
two falls in the Slope and reaching
within 500 feet of where the men were
supposed to have been at work. He
insists that there was vacant space
and he believes the entombed men arr
in this. He says also, that the venti
! lation is good.
/ If this story is true, it upsets al
previous theories. Some doubt is en-
tertained regarding it, however.

WILKEsBARRE DISASTER.

Practically Nothing Has Been Done
Toward Recovery.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 20
The excitement at Twin shaft at Pitts
ton, where nearly 100 miners are en-
tombed continues today. At the mouth
of the shaft, besides the wives and
children of the entombed men, there
are hundreds of persons not residents
Of Pittston alone but visitors from
Scranton and WilkeSbarre. The wives
and children stand near the opening
of the death chamber urging the
rescuers to greater efforts. Practically
nothing has been accomplished toward
the recovery of the man. There is
scarcely a man about the opening OF
the mine who does not believe the men
are all dead. The rescuing party
which went into the mine at II o'clock
came out at T.. The foreman reports
that the timbering is going on as
rapidly as possible. The work is neces-
Sarily slow owing to the danger of
falling rocks loosened by the explo--
sion. 1t is utterly impossible to begin
digging before late this afternoon. If
the slope is not completely choked
with debris the rescuers may possibly
be able to reach the men within
twenty-four hours; otherwise it may
take two or three days. The rescuing
party is 1000 feet from where the cave
In occurred. Gas continues to accumu-
late and tie room which was weaken
ed by the explosion is in danger Of
falling any moment.
A survey of the interior of the mine
this morning shows that the main
I slope is blocked worse than the officials
are willing to admit Fully sixty feet
/ that had been cleared up yesterday
afternoon is blocked by another fall
that occurred before 4 o'clock this
morning. Fire Boss Johns said: 1T is
my belief that the air current in the
twin shaft was shut off the moment
the explosion occurred; then if the men
were not killed by the falling rock and
coal, they may have lived some min
utes before being suffocated; or, if the
space where they were was left clear,
/ gas may have accumulated and ex-
/ plcdsd, which would of course have
burned the men to death. 1t is likely
/ it will not be known how the men died
until the bodies are found.
/ The damage to the mine is estimated
at $4,000 and the expenses of getting
the bodies out NAV reach $40, 0O0 The
company is censured for sending the
men into the mine when it was in a
j dangerous condition. In answer it is
I said the company either had to do this
or close the mine. which would have
meant the loss of all the capital in
vested.
Water began pouring into the stope
and threatens to drive out the rescu-
ers. 1t is thought to be surface water
and will soon cease to flow. Others
think the water comes from the Sus-
4 quetanna river. If it Is river water.
the whole mine will be flooded in a
short time and it will be months before
{. the bodies can be got out.
