 The chief feature of the entertain ment was the twenty-fve=roand con- contest between Billy Layton and Frank White, Of Colorado. Both men are superb and scientific box CTS. Iu the second round White landed a chance blow on Layton which knocked him off his ''pins. 7" He quickly sprang to his feet, how ever, and made a rush for White, and succeeded in getting in a punch with his right on Whites jaw, and down he went. White saw that he would be defeated, so he allowed the referee to count him out and Layton was declared the victor
 By request of the audience Layton and Maber then engaged in a two round contest. These men are more evenly matched than were any of the others and the exhibition they gave of the manly art of self de- fense" was the finest ever witnessed in Arkansas. Al the end of the two rounds honors were about even.
 Throughout the entire exhibition the most perfect order was main tained and while there were some severe blows exchanged none of the contestants were injured and there was nothing indicative of brutality.

pLATT ON REPUBLICAN POLICY
Predicts Al Gold Standard Platform
and Policy.

New York May 24.-Ex-Senator Platt
gave out a statement tonight in part as
follows:
THE business men of the country may
confidently rely upon their views being
executed at st. Louis. both as to the MAIN
tenance of the gold standard and as to the
nomination of a candidate who can ap-
proprately stand on n gold plank. New
York will present such a candidate, and
the vote of this state will be cast almost
unanimously.
Il observe Senator Miller in a recent in
terview says I have no commission to
speak for our delegation on that point 1t
is a small matter whether l have or not.
The important thing is the fact. He, for
instance, having been elected delegate
al Gov. Morton's request, having attended
the conference at which it was resolved
to place Morton in the field, having been
the first man there to advocate that ac-
ton and the first man to proclaim 1t TO
the world by a formal interview when the
conference adjourned, he Of course will be
the governors staunchest supporter in the
convention. He says ] must not speak for
him, but l can certainly quote his record
in the matter and can at least express
enough confidence in his character as a
man to say that he will keep faith with
himself and make good his promises.
What is true of Mr.. Miller In this re-
spect is similarly true of the other dele
gates, whether they represent districts ol
the state at large"

FLAG OF A REGENERATED PARTY
Standard Thrown to the Breeze by
Gold Democrats.

Chicago, May A.-The gold standard
county today met and drew up a mani
festo which. as they put it, filings out the
flag of a regenerated party" The man
ifesto gives in detail the local history of
the political split in the democratic party
in this state and maps out course which
provides for boycott not only of tomor-
rows primaries and Tuesdays conven-
ton. but of the present county central
committee and its belongings. 1t de-
clares the state end of the democratic sill
yer machine as being more undemocratic
than the Cook county end of it, and an
nounces it's purpose to ''go on with the
work of the party Independently of the
silver men," who are called populsts and
not democrats. In accordance with the
boycott stated in the manifesto the gold
standard men say they are going to stay
at home.
The silver men vow that 10000 ballots
will be cast for the delegates to be elect
ed to Tuesdays county convention.
The gold standard men charge that the
credentials of the delegates to the state
convention to be elected Tuesday are
already made out. An intimation has
been made by some democrats close to
Governor Altgeld that the instructions on
the money question to be voted at Tues
days convention may be found to be
simply "anti-gold bug" making no men

op Thoburn has been a laborer In the mis-

Some day. he said. I'VE shall all sand
before the great white throne, and we
shall be asked why. when we were In
Cleveland four weeks, we did not do some
thing for the mission cause. The only an
swer we can make will be that we were so
busy with previous questions, questions
of privilege points of order and laying
things on the table that we could not at
tend to missions

country expecting to see something DONE

headed by Samuel Dickey of Michigan,
chairman of the national central commit
tee and a strong gold standard man.
Ex-Governor St. John says that two
thirds of the prohibtionists welcome free
silver. but that the rank and file are too
poor to come to the convention. 1t would
cost a Kansas farmer the price of 400
bushels of corn to get here, he says, and
as their farms are all mortgaged, they can
not afford it.
Chairman Dickey says there will he
three factions in the convention. One
which desires a platform tor prohibition
only, one desiring any sound declaration
which can be adopted without serious
opposition and a third which desires pro
hbition, free silver. woman suffrage, free
trade. government ownership of railways
and telegraphs, restricted immigration,
anti-monopoly, united ownership of land
and anything else that anybody wants"
This latter faction is said to have ma
jority of the delegates and is called "broa1

ton for president are Joshua Levering Of
