The Richest Man.

It. is snrmisrd in financial circles that the richest man in ihe word is not Vanderbilt. an. Asinr, q Ruckr- frller or a Barnato. The thrifty per. son. says the New York Advprtisor. is believed to be plain Mir. Rnbinson-- John B.-of South Africa. In 1878 Mir. Robinson was considerably jn. volved; it might not. indeed, ,be hold ing too high language lo say that he was in that unhappy condition some times described as .'hrad over heels in debt" AL that time he was keeping a store in the Orange Free Slme, and his customers proceeded largely on the theory that groceries were free as well as the State. This insane dplusiou kept Robinson's nose on the prind- stone until the wonder is that it was not worn off up to his eyebrows.
 Robinson nailed up inc grocery store. lis customers having the gro- ceries. and he and Mrs. Robinson begged their way three hundred miles io Kimberly. where he picked up q rough diamond. which he sold for $l2O0. With ihis us nest egg he started in the mining business, nml today his fortune is estimated tt $350,. Qoo,ooo.

NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA,
Two Widely different Views on tho

 are too many Mrxicans there at pres enf." he said yesterday. "rhey all talk Spanish, and many "f them cant speak any other language. They are prejudiced against settlers from the states, and we would have very little protection it the territory became Il state. They would make the laws, run the courts and offices and make things very unpleasant for us. It will he time enough to talk about statehood when the English speaking population gets control of affoirs and is able to hold i.."
 Mir. Tenant lives in Taos county. in the northern part of New Mexico. Hr is interested in some mines there. and also large tract of land embracing "vsr 60.000 acres. This land was u'l. ter cultivation for tw" centuries and more, he says. havin. been settled shortly after the founding of Santa Fr. about forty miles distant. At present. the tract is devoted mostly to cattle and sheep grazing.
 0 F. Kuemcer, an Arizona miner. at the Laclede, does not agree with Mr Tenant regarding the admission of either New Mexico or Arizona to ihr union. He favors their admission and particularly that of his own territory. Spanish is the prevailing language there also. but he apprel,rnds no danger to the English speaking pnr- ton of the population on that account. Besides, the quickest way to lessen their influence in public affairs is to in- vite immigration from the states, he says. Arizona and New Mexico would he settled mp and developed much faster. he thinks. if they were states. Mir. kuencer formerly resided m Si. Louis. He has been in Ariznna alnut sixteen years.

aroused the convention to q high pitch
Of enthusiasm. He denounced the Chi
cago, convention and It's nominee,
claiming its acts were inspired by
Populists and renegade Republicans,
and that 1t did not represent true
Jeffersonian Democracy. The National
Democratic party. he said. can only
look forward to defeat, but 1t can as
sist in the triumph Of sound currency.
His reference to Grover Cleveland, as
the greatest of the latter day expon-
ents of true Jeffersonian Democracy
was received with enthusiasm. After
the congressional districts had selected
members of committees, the conYen-
ton took a thirty minutes recess.
After recess the convention reassem-
bled and a fight ensued when the re-
port of the committee on resolutions
was presented. The platform declared
for the single gold standard, the main
tenance of law and order, and nom
interference with the supreme court.
The planks were vigorously applauded,
the mention of President Cleveland's
name being wildly applauded. Several
delegates vigorously objected to the
gold standard and advised for BIZ
metallism by standing on the platform
of 1892. After an extended discussion,
the platform as reported by the COM
mittee was adopted with q. hurrah.
pledging the convention to the gold
standard without equivocation.
The platform declares against any
assault on the judiciary and also praises
Cleveland's administration as wise and
patriotic A prominent figure In the
convention was w. K. Wilson, post
Master-General Wilson's son. Dele
gates were chosen to the Indianapolis
convention.

trials and tribulations of the club, Mr. CayIor
has steadily chung to the position Of assistant

1t is strange how ball players drift together
IN their profession. In 1890 Joyce and Van
Haltren played with the Brooklyn Players'
league, and now, six years after, they are
with New York. Shindle and Griffin PLAYED
with the old Baltimore Association club and

Is not only accurate but very hard.
1t has been noticed that the pitchers of the
league steal but very few bases. The reason
probably, is that they do not care to take the
chances of getting injured, or they have re-
ceived orders not to try the play. The. larg-
est number Of stolen bases by any pitcher this
season is six, made by Mercer, with Hoffer at
four. while such men as Taylor Ortiz

the plan of those having the distribu-
ton in charge to give the persons from
abroad the preference Chairman w.
D. Bynum, of the national executive
committee, left today for Bradford
Junction, o., where he will speak to-
night to a body of railroad men. Many
letters from all over the United States
are received at headquarters, express
ing preferences for certain candidates.
Senator W. F. Villas is being urged as
the most logical candidate by several
sections Of the country. The indorse-
ment of favorite sons by several state
conventions may give the convention
a good deal to do, and it is not i'm
probable that each claim for first place
on the ticket will at least be given
recognition by votes in the convention.
The friends of w. F. Villas, of Wiscon-
sin, base their claim on the fact that
he attended the gold Democratic con-
ference at Chicago; that he was one of
the first men to respond when the OPP
ponents of the Chicago platform were
called together to determine their
course of action. 1t is further urged
that the plan of organization and gen.
eral scheme under which the conven-
ton meets came largely from Mr.. VII
las, who was in that conference. The
natisnal committee will convene Sept.
! at 10 o'clock at the Grand hotel The
executive committee meets on Monday
at the same place.
EX-Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago, is
the first notable to reach the city. He
arrived tonight, and is stopping at the
Denison. Mr.. Hopkins warmly advo-
Gates Henry Watterson as the gold
standard candidate for president, and
says he will receive one-half of the
Illinois vote. Comptroller Eckels, it is
understood, will support w. F. Villas,
and will carry with him the other half
of the Illinois delegation. 81 am for
Watterson,'' said Mr.. Hopkins, ''be-
cause he is the proper person to NOM
mate. A man of the most brilliant at
tainments, he will devote his entire
time to the work of the campaign. He
has great personal magnetism. 1 am in
favor of nominating him, having him
met at New York upon his arrival by
the notification committee, and
then holding a meeting which will be
greater than any that has been held.
The meeting would be one Of the most
wonderful Spectacles ever witnessed in
this country
A movement was started tonight to
have w. D. Bynum elected permanent
chairman of the national committee,
Senator Palmer having accepted the
pest with the understanding that he
would be relieved when the convention
met. 1t is desired that Indianapolis
retain the national headquarters so
there viii be no confusion during the
campaign. and in that event, 1t is urged
by those at the head of the movement,
Mr.. Bynum is the logical chairman.
Secretary Wilson, of the national COM
mittee today said he favored the pict-
ure of Thomas Jefferson as the device
for the gold standard ticket. The mail
of Hon. J. Sterling Morton, secretary
of agriculture began to arrive today,
indicating that he will soon be here.
