A DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.

A Gold aud . Silver Convention In Gov
ernor Boies' County.
WATERLOO. Iowa, April 81. - The
gold standard people won a victory in
Boies' home county Saturday. They
outnumbered the silver Boies men
three to two. The convention
was characterized by the widest
scenes. In the outset the Cleveland
men captured the convention. Just
as the organization was perfected,
Chairman Scott. of the central COM
mittee, entered the hall, ignored
the proceedings, aud called another
convention. Thus the two conven-
tons proceeded in the same hall SIM
ultaneously, each trying to howl the
other down. The disturbance contin-
ued for more than an hour. The
Cleveland men summoned Sheriff
Law, and Marshal Klingaman was
brought on the scene by the white
metal men. No arrests were made.
Each convention adopted resolutions
on the money question. the difference
being as great as possible.

MORRILL, AND LELAND OUT

Tho Governor and the Republican Man
ager Have II Warm Seance.
Topeka, Kan, April est is very
likely tina: Governor Morrill, will have
to make his fight for denomination
without the support or even the SYM
pathy of Cyrus Leland. They came to
this understanding last night. when
Leland is reported to have said to the
governor that if he should be renom-
mated he world run 10000 votes be-
hind his ticket, and likely be the
means of defeating the Republican
electoral ticket
For ten months Leland has not been
an advocate Of Morrills denomination,
but until now mutual friends of the
two men have kept them on terms of
political friendship. Leland is said to
have stated, as some of the reasons
why Morrill, should withdraw, that
some of the governors appointments
were not satisfactory to the party and
it is said referred to NJ. NJ. Beck and
Charles +. Scott as particularly OBJ
noxious to himself.
What the governor said to Leland
last night is not known. but his friends
say this morning that. in commenting
on the subject. he declared that ne
had entered the race for renomina-
ton and he proposed to fight it out
