The use of the people, and the rise Of
all Europe, from the darkness of the

caused by the gold and silver brought
from Mexico and Peru. II this be so,

HUTCHiNS AND DAVIS.-Convention
Hall, Washington, was packed with
friends and foes OF silver last night, in
Guiding large number from this city,
many of whom unable to get seats.
Some, too, coli, not get into the
hall Exhauslive argument. were
used on both sides of the question OF
equal rights Of money metals at the
minis, aud there was generous applause
for the speakers, though the silver men
were the more irrepressible in their
outbursts of enthusiasm. 1t was gen.
orally agreed that the weight Of argu
ment was brought out by Mr.. Hutch
lbs. The doors were opened at $50
o'clock, nearly two hours before the de-
bate began, but even at that hour there
was crowd waiting at the entrance.
BY o'clock the hall was comfortably
filled, and soon afterward orders were
issued not to recognize the ordinary
tickets of admission, and only to accept
those having a reserved seat coupon
attached. These were presented in
such numbers that few minutes be
fore S o'clock A.-istant Building In
spector King made a heroic effort to
check the inhowilg tide. Capt. Aus
tin and Lieut.. Teeple, with fifty pri-
Yates detailed from the various pre-
cincts, were on hand to keep the crowd
in check, and for few moments no.
body was admitted Every seat in the
hall was then filled, and about hun
dred persons we're gathered on the
platform and the gallery was almost
filled also. Manager Towers assured
Mr.. King that there were exactly 1900
chairs in the auditorium. however, and
as it was apparent that there were not
$50 people in the hall outside Of this
number, more were admitted, until
every available space was occupied, ex
cept the aisles and halls in the rear.
Senator Faulkner about eight o'clock
raped hard for order, and made a brief
speech announcing the conditions of
the debate. He said he would perform
the duty of presiding officer, to which
position he had been chosen, with the
same impartiality That lie hoped the
audience would exhibit in their de-
cision as TO the merits of the PROPOSE
ton to be discussed. He then stated
the conditions of the debate, which
were that MIR. Hutcilins would first
speak for ffty-fve minutes, to be fol-
lowed by Mr.. Davis for a like period,
and then Mr.. Hutchins would be al
lowed twenty minutes to complete his
argument, as would Mr.. Davis. The
debate throughout was interesting and
both speakers we're much applauded.
The Alexandrians did not arrive home
until after midnight.

An estimate of the strength of
the two sides of the money ques.
ton in the Democratic national
convention shows that 1888 Of the
delegates favor gold, and 602 favor
silver. This estimate counts all
Of the IS from Minnesota as in
favor Of gold. Some Of the Min.
nesota delegation favor silver, and
( as no unit rule was adopted by the
state convention they can vote as
they please in the national conven-
tion, Notwithstanding the declara-
ton Of the Minnesota state con-
svention against free silver. The
Democratic national convention is
certain to declare for free silver
coinage, and it is then almost GER
tain that the men who have been
leaders in that party for years will
do little for the success of the free
silver cause. The Democratic
party will lose much more by fa-
voring silver than the Republican
party lost By opposing it.

Brainerd Tribune: It isn't the
slightest consequence what young
Mr.. Towne thinks or says about
the St. Louis platform. Mr.
Towne is entitled to his own
opinion upon the coinage question,
of course, but that is all. The
Republicans Of the Sixth congress.
sional district are through with
him. When they meet in con.
vention a good Republican honest
money platform will be adopted
and a thoroughly sound and con.
sistent Republican will be nomi.
mated and elected. The thing is
very plain and simple. If young
Mr.. Towne wants to run for
congress upon a free silver plat
form, as All independent candidate,
or in any way he sees fit, that is
his privilege. It will add some
oratorical pyrotechnics to the
campaign-and perhaps take some
of the swelling out of the young
mans head. Let the band begin
to play.

HOW DYNAMITE is MADE.
The Deadly Explosive Composed OF Nitro
glycerin and Earth.

The Deadly Explosive Composed Of Nitro
glycerin and Earth.
The best quality of dynamite is a
mixture of rs per cent of nitroglycerin
and rs per cent of kieselguhr-a sill
ceous earth with a highly absorptive
power, capable of taking up two or
three times it's own weight Of nitroglyc-
erin without becoming pasty. The OBJ
ject of the mixture is to diminish the
susceptibility of nitroglycerin, to slight
shocks, and to facilitate the carrying of
it without destroying its explosive
force. Dynamite is in appearance not
unlike brown sugar. While moist it is
squeezed into cartridges, which are
prepared Of parchment paper, and the
firing is done by illuminate of silver in
copper capsules, provided with patent
exploders Its descriptive force is esti-
mated at about eight times that Of gun.
powder, and it has the popularity of
taking effect in a downward direction.
Nitroglycer;n, which is light yellow,
oily liquid, is nitric acid l part and
sulphuric acid 2 parts, to which is add
ed ordinary glycerin and the mixture
we'll washed with pure water. It has a
sweet. aromatic, pungent taste and the
peculiar property Of causing headache
when placed in small quantity on the
tongue or wrist. 1t was. first used in
bombs dropped from balloons in the
Franco German war (lS7O-I.

St. Cloud Journal Press: The
question that will interest the
Republicans of this district for the
next twenty days is the selection
of the right man for congress.
There are plenty of good men and
stalwart Republicans, and for that
reason the selection of one name is
all the more difficult. It is time
when selfish interest and personal
ambition must be set aside and
whatever is done must be done
solely for the best interest of the
party. There are great many
men in this end Of the district
who would make excellent mem.
bers Of congress, but under the
peculiar conditions now existing,
it would probably be wiser to
select a Duluth man-one who can
hold the party in line in St. Louis
county. It Is important that the
Republicans carry this district.
The party in this section is in
excellent shape, and there will be
very few, even those who favor
the free coinage Of silver, who will
follow Mr.. Towne out of the
party. His endorsement by the
Populists will settle that phase of
the problem. So far the names of
O. D. Kinney and Judge Paige
Norris have been suggested.
Either would be acceptable down
Shis way. And either can be
elected.

Republican success will only be
maintained in Morrison county by
Republicans abstaining from any
political combinations with the
Democrats. In years gone by il
was the favorite policy Of leading
Republicans to trade favors Of
Democratic politicians, and party
interests and party principles were
bartered for the personal advantage
of individuals. That is style Of
Rcpublicanism that should be dis.
couraged at every opportunity.
The great bulk of the party de-
tests such methods, and any effort
to make such deals win this fall
should fail utterly. No friend of
the Republican party should lend
himself to such plans.

ginghams, canvas cloth, pique and crash
are all made and eagerly purchased. The
linen homespuns are also very popular.
All Of these materials are made up into
golfng suits, and these consist Of skirt,
knickerbockers and shirt waist. With
these go pair of low shoes, gol1ng stock
ings and some light hat which will stay
on the head with little effort. All these
materials are washable. Those Of linen
wash best.
The hats and bonnets vary so much in
shape, style, color and trimming that the
most one can do is to choose from the
myriads of lovely creations those which
seem most conservative and likely to please
the most people. Some bonnets are al
most exactly like the poke, coal scuttle and
pork pie Of old, with a few other ancient
types thrown in, but they are fortunately
the exception and not the rule. The Marie
Antoinette' picture hat and the hat with
thousand flowers are both liked, and both
are pretty and becoming. There was at
one swell place toque Of black velvet
studded with gilt spangles. From either
side there stretched a fancy black feather,
also spangled, while another in form Of an
aigret stood up In the center. A "sun-

straw had a crown Of black velvet with

was covered with ruby colored flowers of
no known species. Another quaint bonnet
was Of black lace and wreath Of large
roses, topped with black empire feather.
A cozy little black neapolitan capote had

side and an outstanding handkerchief bow
