GEN. HAMPTON's VIEW.
He is Distressed at the Turn of Polit-
fcal Affairs.

Gen. Wade Hampton Of South Carolina,
United States commissioner of railroads,
has arrived at Denver on a tour Of inspec-
ton of the Union Pacific system. He said,
regarding the political situation: Il am
greatly distressed at the turn of political
affairs, and am afraid 1t will be productive
Of great suffering The Chicago conven-
ton declared against the issue of more
bonds. while the gold reserve is gradually
being depleted. The administration may
take the ground that it will not issue more
bonds for the purpose of keeping up the
reserve on account Of this declaration of
the Chicago convention. If 1t should, and
the drain upon the gold In the treasury
should continue, the result would be that
the country would be placed upon silver
basis before the election
Gen. Hampton says a gold democratic
ticket would mean the election Of Mckinley.
Nearly all the newspapers of the south favor
ano ther ticket. and strongly oppose the radi-
cal measures set forth in the Chicago plat
form. He strongly condemns the violent
abuse of the President in the western press,
and predicts a financial crisis as result of
this campaign.

State Committee Meeting Called and
Delay in Action Advised.
Chairman Hinkley issued q call last night
for meeting of the New York democratic
state committee. to be held at the Hoffman
House in New York. Tuesday. July 2a At
the same time, as chairman Of the state
committee. he issued this manifesto to the
democracy OF the state:
ITO the democracy Of the state:
1.-THE fact cannot be disguised that the
action of the Chicago convention was a
serious disappointment to the democracy of
New York, and has aroused widespread
and increasing opposition. In this serious
situation the attitude Of the party in the
state may with more propriety be deter
mined by Its chosen representatives in
council than by individual Initiative.
"As 1t 1s important that the action deter
mined upon be wise and united, desire to
suggest to you that the state convention
will soon be called, at which the delegates
from New York to the recent national CON
vsntion are expected to make q report Of

Evening
LOUISVILLE. Ky, July IL, 1895.
The coming campaign in Kentucky prom
iscs to be as full of surprises as one of
Wilkie Collins novels, and there is a deal
of disappointment in store for the free sill
verites. IL the expressions Of democrats
from the swamps of Ballard county to the
hill tops Of Pike county count for anything,
the republicans VIII be a week counting
their plurality after the November scramble
at the polls.
Every orator in the state who has any
reputation as a spellbinder is to be brought
out and sent to klndle the populist camp
fires on the hill tops with view to maxi
ing blaze of glory for the setting of the
silver sun on the day of the final contest
In addition to this program of hurra hing
the silverites will establish new papers In
one or two towns for the dissemination of
populistic views. A plant has already been
bargained for ii is said, for the publication
of daily paper in this city, and one of the
leading silver editors in the south has been
engaged to "enlighten the masses" on old
matters that Will be warmed over But
the sound money democratic papers will
continue to fight the silver men and
their arguments. The Evening Post and
the Courier-Journal refuses to support the
ticket, and the Times will do likewise The
Evening Post last year refused to support
wat Hardin for governor and to this more
than to anything else Hardin attributes his
defeat.
Many Democrats Against Bryan
In over sixty counties the democrats have
been interviewed since Saturday, and eight
tenths of the men spoken 10 say they cam
not and will not vote for the Chicago tick
et Various reasons are given for this, but
the chief one is that they do not regard the
platform as democratic nor the men chosen
Tor candidates as democrats.
Inc republicans are alert, and all their
forces are being mustered for the battle
The democrats are continually in strife
and the differences bred by them are rarely
ever forgotten as they should be. The old
currency fight that split the party I'm twain
last year is still on, and it has made
breach that time, and much time, Will b<
needed to heal.
Bryan, the democratic nominee for the
presidency, made two speeches in this STATE
last year, when the currency contest was
at its height and some of his utterances
then made him unpopular with the old line
or gold democrats. In his speeches he made
the assertion more tnan once that he would
not support a gold democrat for any Office
To this statement is due the antipathy Of
the goltites for Mr.. Bryan.

tions as to the duty Of .the democracy of
the state in the present Crisis.
Meantime the utterances of the candi-
dates and proffered int9tpretations of the
platform. as well as thei possible action of
other political bodies with (which the demo-
cratic party is not in sympathy, will tend
to bring the path of duty clearly into view.
Under the circumstances I recommend
(after consultation with many leading dem
ocrats of the state) that no definite polit-
ical action be taken by democrats until the
assembling of the state convention. which
may be trusted to take such patriotic
measures as the honor and interests of the
party and the country, both for the present
and the future, may demand.

At the meeting of the executive commit
tee Of the republican national committee at
Cleveland, Thursday, Cornelius N. Bliss of
New York was elected treasurer of the

suggested as member Of the advisory
committee, but 1t was decided to make him
treasurer OF the executive committee, an
office for which 1t was supposed a Cleve-
lander was slated.
Mr.. Bliss is understood to be acceptable
to both the Platt and anti-Platt factions in
New York. but the treasurer is not.

Another New York Democratic Leader
Bolts the Ticket.
Jacob A. Cantor, the democratic leader In
the New York state senate, and one Of the
foremost candidates for the nomination of
governor at the hands of his party, has
come out nat-footed in opposition to the
Chicago platform and the ticket named al
that convention. No one has ever been a
more faithful adherent Of Tammany Hall
than Senator Cantor.
Mr.. Cantor said yesterday:
Il will never consent to support the plat
form or the ticket nominated ct Chicago.
1t makes no difference to me what action
the regular democratic organization may
take, l am fully resolved that it is the
duty Of every democrat who loves his coup-
try to repudiate the action taken at Chica-
co.
When asked how it would affect his cam
didacy for governor, Mr.. Cantor replied;
Il do not know who will be nominated
But will state right here that il the or
ganization indorses the Chicago ticket I
will not be the candidate. 1 would not ac-
cept nomination under such circum-

MEMORIAL DAY DUTIES,

The Thinning Ranks of the Veterans and
the Future Prospects.
|. The thinning ranks in the army of
old soldiers. SO conspicuously shown
as each succeeding Memorial dav
comes round. impresses upon the
public that the obligations which the
living owe to the dead must soon be
taken up and discharged by others
than they who stood in the ranks
with the fallen. The old soldier is
passing. Each year he is found more
infirm and less capable of trudging
after the flag for which he suffered.
The fast approaching time in which
the veterans must surrender to those
who may come after them, the
conducting of the Memorial day du-
ties. suggests the fact that the cere-
monies OF the day should always
have been assumed by the public
generally, and the initiative should
not Of nece ,sity have been taken by
the G. A. L. Memorial day is not
strictly old soldiers day. 1t is an
occasion 10 us all, and while the sol
diers, living as well as dead, should
be uppermost in the public mind on
that day. the survivors should not be
obliged to conduct absolutely offer
ings to their sleeping comrades. They
should participate and should have
their beautiful Grand Army ritual.
but the active work should always
have been done by others, for the
dead soldier of the republic is the
hero of the people. for whose cause
he gave his life, and who would paw
tribute to his memory.
AS said heretofore. it is the solemn
duty of the people to assume charge
of the privilege of decorating the
graves of the veterans and the mar
BILE shafts which stand to their mem
DRY, and more than that. the day is
coming when the people as a whole
must assume the responsibilities of
carrying out the ceremonies of Me-

cease with them, but that true and
loyal hearts will carry on the sad yet
grateful duty after they. too. shall

Saturday night and administering
severe beating to that old gentleman
on his refusal to give them money
with which they said they wanted to
"rush the growler." KaskadGen and

town and were somewhat under the
influence of liquor when they de-
cided on their desperate game. MIR.
Nessler is a sickly gentleman who
lives with his wife a d son. II was
sometime after midnight when he
was awakened by the intruders. Ac-
cording to the story Mr.. Nessler tells
the police. they demanded some
money with which to buy beer. This
Mr.. Nessler refused them, when he
was treated to volley of abuse.

house. They soon returned armed
with uple of wooden slabs. With
these Mr.. NessIer says they gave him

David Larson Led Into . Scheme Which
Loses His Money.
David Larson thought he had fall
len into a coed thing when he put
his money against the game Of q
newly. made acquaintance last even
ing. But David is much wiser now;
and his experience cost him just
1856.
Larson is young gentleman who
is employed at the Rock Island Lum-
Der company's mill and boards at
2119 Fifth avenue. He was perched
on bench in Spencer square early
last evening enjoying the breeze and
scenery when a we'll dressed man
came along and engaged him in q
conversation. He seemed very socia-
BILE and David answered az his ques-
tions with reference to the city, in
which he of course was a. stranger.
Finally the conversation turned tow
ard the river, which the stranger
confessed he had never seen. He
asked David to take him down and
show it to him.
In the next scene David and his
new friend were seated on q railroad
tie on the river bank near the Bur-
lington depot chatting about the
stream which had such charms for
Mr.. Brown. They had been there
bat few moments when another
well dressed man, stranger to
both (?) of them. put in an appear
ance. He talked awhile and finally
pulled out q door lock and begun
FUN bling it. All began discussing
how hard it wopld be to open it. The
new conner was told by Mr.. Brown
that he could not open it. Then
there was an argument; then there
was.a wager of 500. Brown didn't
have quite enough money. So
David was urged to get in on the bet.
He finally consented and put up all
he had-S3.S5. Then there was a
parting of company.
M. Larson gave the confidence
men a hot chase, as did also the
police. But they made good their
escape.
