after 2 conference with Chairman Funk
II had been decided to take up the mon
pv nlank next. The minority resolu-
lions favoring free coinage OF silver
was then read and the battle between
the silver and gold men was inaugu-
rated. The discussion was heated from
the start and much feeling was mani
tested by both factions.
Hale Johnson, OF Illinois, was nom
mated for Vice President by the Prohi-
bitionists on the first ballot.
The convention was thrown into con-
fusion by the action of R. H. Patton.
of Illinois. who presented substitute
for the entire platform. The new plat
form excluded everything but prohibit
ton. even woman suffrage, and was the
narrowest kind of a narrow gauge dec
laration. After sharp debate in which
Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar vainly attempt
ed to save the woman suffrage plank,
the substitute was adopted by stand
ing vote and the afternoon session clos
ed in the widest confusion.
At the evening session, without much
further difficulty, Joshua P. lowering
was nominated for President by accla-
nation.
Joshua P. lowering, the Prohibition
nominee for President, is prominent
coffee merchant of Baltimore. He is
So years of age, reputed to be very
wealthy, and is President of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
He was formerly Democrat, but has
been connected with the Prohibition
party since 1883, and has for some years
past acted as vice chairman of the State
executive committee. He ran on the
Prohibition ticket last fall for Governor,
receiving the highest vote ever cast for
the party
Mr.. lowering was pronounced in his
views on the,questions at issue and pre-
vious to- the convention stated positive
ly that he would not accept the nomina-
ton upon free silver or broad gauge
platform.
BOLTED THE CONVENTION.
Pittsburg, Pa, May 2S.-The broad
gauge element left the convention hall
tonight and organized rump conven-
ton in another hall. Eleven State
chairmen were among the boilers and
twenty-four States ere represented.
Mr. Moore. of Nebraska, is presiding.
Among the prominent boilers are
Helen NJ. Cougar, of Indiana; ex-Gov.
John p. st. John; R. S. Thompson, of
Ohio. editor of the New Era; John
Lloyd Thomas, of New York, and l.. B.
Logan, of Ohio. A motion to name the
new party the National Party was lost.
The new party has been named the
National party, and its motto, Home
protection"

STRICKEN ST. LOUIS.

Later reports of the frightful disaster
that has overtaken the city OF st. Louis
show the first reports to have been but
slightly exaggerated, the losses being
over five hundred lives and thirty mill
ions of dollars worth of property.
The awful force that caused this I'M
precedented calamity is almost beyond
human comprehension. 1t has been
sweeping in resistless force over large
section of the West for several days, ut
terly destroying everything in its path.
Fortunately no other populous city has
been visited as St. Louis has been by
this monster of wind, to which the
strongest masonry built by, human
hands is as pasteboard.
St. Louiss immense losses and dread
full plight will excite the sympathy Of
the entire civilized world. II is heavy
blow from which it will take that city
years to recover; indeed, it will never
recover from the effect upon the minds
of people who will ever look askance
upon city which is open to such fright
full vistations.
St. Louis is great and wealthy
community and will doubtless be able
to care for her own unfortunates, but
should she stand in need of outside aid
a deeply sympathizing world stands
ready TO extend any help that may be
required.

HIGH HANDED KANAwHA METHODS,


In ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the Kanawha politician OF the
Republican stripe can give the Baltl-
more and Philadelphia gangs a long
lead and beat them. Down there II is
onlv question Of who has the machine
in hand. He and his personal gang are
supreme and no quarter is shown 10
anyone else.
An. excellent illustration OF this ten
dency of the Kanawha politician 10 hog
the persimmons is just at hand. 1t is
the intention Of the Kanawha ring by
some very sharp practice TO gain abso-
lutte control Of the convention Of the
judicial district Of Mason. Putnam and
Kanawha to be held June 9 and to shut
out Judge Guthrie, by hOcus pocus
proceeding by which Mason and Put
nam counties will be left entirely
out Of the convention without rep
resentation or vote. Here is how the
trick is done according to very indig-
nant Republican contemporary:
Eanawha. instead of holding a county
convention to nominate the county ticket,
has a primary election 70 be held June
9th That county must be represented IN
the State. COngress iOual and Judicial con-
ventions and should select delegates TO
them. Instead of calling district primaries
or a county convention for that purpose
the county executive committee of that
county held a meeting last Thursday and
secretly and clandesttnely passed an or
der requiring the names Of Judge +. y.
Guthrie and Hon. n. G.. McWhorter TO he
placed ON the tickets used i'm that primary
election 10 be held June 9th. and providing
that the one receiving the highest number
O. votes I'm the primary election shall have
the whole vote of Karawha county in
the judicial convention.
Now. kauawha has 5S votes in the Judi
cigl convention, Mason p and Putnam L.
Now. n Guthrie should receive 5000 votes
IN the primary election of kanawha
county and III. G.. New horter S00l, Nc
Whorter would have all of Kanawha's IS
votes and kanaWna would thus settle the
whole question on that one vote. and Ma
son and Putnam would be deprived of any
have no representation for his 5000 votes
IN kanaWha nor his vote in Mason and
Putnam In fact Mason ana t'utUd n
would virtually have nothing 20 say In the
matter for either of them.
This piece Of political buccaneering
reminds enc forcibly Of the methods Of
the Ohio county ring. OF which the can
didates outside that close little political
corporation had a ssrong dose at the
recent primaries.
The Republicans O. Mason and Put
nam declare that they will not submit
to be thus high handedly deprived of
their rights. But we are thinking they
will have 10 swallow their medicine as
did their brethren in Ohio county who
were outside the machine gang.

The Democratic party is warned by
the New York World that if it should
adopt a free silver plank, 1t would lose
several Southern States, would not
carry a single Northern State and would
gain little. if anything. from the Repub-
lean free silver States Of the West
which are satisfied with Mckinley S
free silver record. Convictions are not
held nor platforms written, as rule
for the purpose Of losing elections.

half the homes in Leads. Sims Bros.

which that remedy is held where it
has been sold for years and is well
known. Mothers have learned that
there is n1thing so good for colds,
Group and whooping cough. that it
cures these ailments quickly and perma-
nelly. and that it is pleasant and safe
for children to take.
