administration delegates smiled giee-
fully. When a reference was ineiden-
tally made to free silver. the conven~
ton fairly howled with applause. The
chairman's reference TO the single gold
standard was received with little APP
plaNse, followed by ieers from all part
of tAe house.
The various working committees
were appointed and the convention then
adjourned till p. m.
When the convention was finally or
gained, the silver Democrats ruled
everything. Besides choosing six sill

convention ratified the selection of two

These being strongly for silver, ensur-

VIRGINIA ALSO FOR SILVER.
Senator Daniel Will Be Endorsed For
Vice-President

Staunton, Va, June 3.-Deleoates ia
the State Democratic convention which
begins tomorrow are coming in slow
~ congressman Otey and Swanson
came last night. The former is in
charge OF the free silver forces. He
has his headquarters at the Virginia
hotel and his rooms have been crowd
ed all day.
Maj. Otey, when asked by the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent for an es-
innate of the comparative strength of
the two factions, said that he had
Just made an examination of the re-
ports submitted and expressed the be-
lief that the silver men would carry
every district. He admitted that the
Second Congressional district was close
but said it was his opinion that free
silver had a small majority there.
Whether or not the convention will
endorse Senator Daniel for Vice-Pres-
ident depends upon his own wishes
in the matter. 1t is believed that he
will prefer to head the delegation to
Chicago. The other persons mention
ed for delegates-at-large are Senator
Martin, Congressman Jones, Congress-
4 III.
of the House of Delegates, Hon. Jas.
w. Marshall, of Craig, Hon. H. s. Nor
rison, of Scott and State chairman, j.
Taylor Ellyson.
Congressman Otey will not allow his
name to be presented. He is slated
to succeed Mr.. Ellyson as the member
Of the National committee.
The free silver leaders are talking
of passing the unit rule. Many sill
yerites are going to fight the unit
rule for the sake of harmony in the
party. Some of the more radical sill
yer people are in favor of putting only
men of their faction on the State
committee and electoral ticket, but
this scheme has powerful opposition
and it is believed will not succeed.
The State committee met tonight
and chose Col Jno. Bell Bigger, of
Richmond for temporary chairman;
JOS. Button, of AppomattoX, for sec
retary and Mr.. Hutchinson, of Angus
ia. for Sergeant-at-arms.
The silverites held a conference in
Columbia Hall. There was six or
seven hundred people present. Con-
gresham Otey called the gathering to
order and made a chort speech in which
he said that the object of the meet
ing was not to divide the party, but
to confer as to the best means of saw
ing it. He introduced Col. VIM. Il.
Petit, of Fluvanna, for chairman. The
colonel made a rousing free silver
speech. in which he cenSured the gold
standard men, He closed by reading
n resolution he said he would offer
endorsing Senator Daniel for Presi-
dent or Nice-President. This aroused
much enthusiasm and Mr.. Daniel

NEW HANOVER DEMOCRATS.
They Are Now United and Determined
to Beat Russell.

p Wilmington, y. c. June 3.-(Special)
Democratic primaries will be held
in New Hanover county on Wednesday,
June 10th, and the county convention
on the 18th. The sentiment here in
favor of free silver is overwhelming.
Last summer when the ''sound mon
ey" club was organized here this city
was canvassed over by the gold men,
and after making every effort possible
to gain members, the club finally num-
bered one hundred. Since then the
number of gold bugs here has been
growing gradually less. Many persons
who two, three and six months ago
were strong gold bugs are to-day
strong advocates of silver. The sill
yer men will sweep the county on the
10th. The gold men will offer no OPP
position whatever. The silver men
will nominate their delegates to the
county convention on the 4th and elect
them on the 10th. Two years ago
there was a split in the Democratic
party in this county and bitter feel
ing for some time thereafter prevail
ed, but lately better feeling has been
fostered and the Democratic party in
this county will be united at the com
ing election. All New Hanover Demo
Gratis will support the State and Ma
tional tickets with the exception of
about half a dozen gold bugs, who
will vote a National gold standard
ticket. A feeling in favor of cooper
alton with the Populists on honorable
terms throughout all classes here is
freely expressed. Anything to beat
Russell is heard on all sides. His cleo
ton as governor of North Carolina is
regarded here as one of the worst
calamities that could befall this State.
Carolina Beach will be open to sum-
mer tourists next week. The steamer
Wilmington will begin to make regu-
lar trips for the season next Tuesday.
Mr.. Jenkins, of Winston, an expert
enced hotelist, will have charge of the
hotel at the beach. The railroad track
leading from the river across the
peninsular to the beach has been
thoroughly overhauled and is now in
perfect order.
f. r. Rice. city clerk and treasurer
still holds on, Notwithstanding the
fact that j. e. Taylor was elected by
the Police Board to supercede him.
TAYLOR has made no effort TO give bond,
and rumor says that Rice has patched
ND a truce with the Russellites which
allows him to hold his present posi-
ton.
Judge Russell has been very quiet
since his return from Raleigh and IS
rarely seen on the street. 1t is report
ed that he is hard at work arranging
his campaign thunder.

MEXICO'S SILVER STANDARD.

For long time the opponents of free
coinage felt that they had silenced all
silver men when they asked: "Do you
want to drag the United States down
to the level of Mexico?" The silver
men met this challenge by showing
that during these years of great de-
preston in the United States and all
other gold standard countries, Mexico
had been more prosperous than ever
before in it's history. The San Fran
cisco Chronicle, which is one of the
ablest advocates of free coinage, says:
''Sonie one should give the editor
a tip about the necessity of fur
bishing up his knowledge of the
money question. If he did he
would not persist in the ludicrous
error of atributing the movement
in favor of the restoration of silver
to American miners when there is
a large party in England, France
and Germany in favor of bi-metal
iism. There are hopes, however,
that the editor will finally learn
something, for we note he care
fully avoids including Mexico i'll
his list of horrible financial eN-
amples to be avoided and now
speaks of the awful consequences
of initiating China and South
America. He evidently knows now
that Mexico is prosperous, and
some one ought to tell him that
most of the South American States,
whose example he asks us to shun,
are on a gold basis and suffering as
much relatively for their folly as
we do"

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

'Mr.FHenry L. West, in HRS resume OF

against Mr.. Cleveland which iseso grave
that we are surprised that it has not
attracted more attention lf ft.had APP
peared in amy ordinary correspondence,
we wos1ld not have given it a moments
thought. but Mr.. West is an universally
careful, writer, and his use of the>state
ment slssyvs that it comes from soa1rces
that can usually be relied nPon. .ttere
is the charge:
Certain disclosures which have been
made regarding the action of the aa-
ministration forces at the Michigan
Democratic convention have aroused
bitter feeling lin the West, although
they have not been published with any
detail in the East. In a letter to Sena-
tor Vest, written by George j. Hum-
1ner. leading silver Democrat of Mich
jnan, a remarkable story is related
lie saws that on the night when the
Michigan convention declared for gold
and adopted the unit rule Mr.. Elicit
6. Stevenson, a law partner of Don NJ.
Dickinson, while Boosting of the way
in which the silver men had been de-
feated, told him of the part which
President Cleveland had in the affair.
Mr.. Stevenson said that Mr.. Cleveland
telegraphed him to come to Washing
ton. and when he arrived here told hiin
that the Statemustdaclare against sill
YER and endorse the administration.
Mr.. Stevenson said that he replied that
the State was very largely for silver;
that even Kent county, out of which
Mr.. Uhl had been appointed Ambassa-
dor TO Germany, had gone for silver;
that there was no way in WHICH TO pre-
vent the election of a large majority OF
free silver delegates, but that it the
President insisted, he thought that
"the State could be stolen for the adj
minis ira tion" The President did not
insist, Mr.. Stevenson went on to say,
but gave i,im carte blanche TO use the
postmasters and Federal officials as lac
might choose. He returned to Miehir
gan. and, summoning all the Federal
officials. had many of them agree to
run as silver candidates for the State
convention. with the understanding
that they should vote against silver
when they We're elected. According to |
Mr.. Hummer. this programme was car
ried out, and with the result everybody >;
is familiar.
This letter, addressed to Senator Vest

with the summoning to Washington, re- ,
GENTLY of prominent Federal officehoId-
ers from Ohio, as related with some :
detail I'm the Post, in order that they
might assist the administration in this
currency fight. and in advancing the
Presidential aspirations of member
Of the Cabinet. 1t is along the line of
Secretary Morton's recent visit to the
far West, when he summoned Federal :,
officials to meet him, and directed their
participation in the campaign, his eff
forts being resisted by the adoption of
almost violent anti-administration res
olutions in Arizona and New Mexico
especially.
