PATTISON'S BOOM
Formally Launched by Pennsylva-
MIA Democrats To-day.
IN STATE CONVENTION AT ALLENTOWN
The Platform FavOrs the Gold Standard OF
Coin and Denounces Every Form
of Protection and Fa-
VOritism.

Allentown, Pa. April 29.-The demo-
cratic state convention, which was
called to order at noon to-day in Music
nall, started the presidential boom of
ex-Gov. Robert E. Pattison, and a
strong endorsement will be given the
man who has twice been elected as the
chief executive of Pennsylvania. The
platform will declare unequivocally
for gold standard of the currency, the
retirement of all treasury notes and all
evidences of government obligation
and for the redemption in gold of every
form of government notes; for the di-
vorce of the government from the use
of silver only in subsidiary coin and
for the rigid maintenance of the gold
standard. 1t will declare for
government taxation for revenue
purposes only by customs and
excise tax and against every
form of protection and favoritism. The
maintenance of friendly relations with
all foreign countries and entangling
alliances with none, as proclaimed and
expounded by Jefferson and Monroe,
will be insisted upon. The platform
will strongly denounce the last re-
publican state legislature for its failure
to economize in expenditures and to
eQualize taxation; for its erection of
superfiuous and unnecessary offices in
order to pension political favorites;
for it's refusal and failure to make ap-
portionments, to enforce the constitu-
tion and to administer the state
treasury. 1t will also instruct the
delegates at large to vote for and use
all honorable means to secure the
presidential nomination of Hon. Robert
K. Pattison.
Illinois Republican Convention.
Springfield, ILL.,, April 28.-To-day
will witness the largest, and what
promises to be the stormiest, state con-
vention in the history of the republi-
cans of Illinois, and the situation this
morning is decidedly chaotic. From
the most conservative estimates, based
upon the counties that have instructed
for or endorsed ex-Gov. Mckinley, the
friends of the Ohio candidate up to this
morning needed to secure but a few
delegates out of total of 1885 to in
| sure the adoption of ironclad instruc-
tions, and this the opposition is trying
t. prevent. They are apparently more
confident and certainly more defiant
than twenty-four hours ago. The
bringing of Senator Cullom from Wash
ington is conceded by both sides to
have been a master stroke on the part
of the state managers. Whether he
can hold the entire regiment of unin-
structed, without recruits from which
the McKinleyites cannot secure the
victory, only the ballot to-day can
answer.

disguise of the commander placed him
under arrest. Later Steve Brodie went
on his bond in the sum of $500 and he

7. M. Gliding & Co., the clothie

]. M. Gidding & Co., the clothiers
commence on Friday May Sth a
stock reducing sale in which every
buyer of clothing in the valley should
feel interested. The statement is made
plain and without any exaggeration
whatever. The first weeks of April
were, as every one remembers, very
warm and it created a demand for
summer clothing earlier than usual.
Since then however the weather has
been unsettled and as a consequence
the large orders placed with manu-
facturers on the strength of the early
warm spell kept coming in daily, and
row the first week in May finds the
tables in Gliding & Co.'S. store load
ed up with summer suits which must
be moved. Hence this stock reduc-
ing sale which is expected to reduce
their stock in very short order. The
prices named on the high grade of
clothing for which Gidding & Co.
are kn nown cannot help but attract
buyers from every nook and corner of
this valley who will no doubt take
advantage of the exceptional offerings
now placed before them by this re-
liable firm.
