plicants for the borrowing privilege, while
at all tines the reading-rooms have been
filled with VISITORS

sential feature is that no deed of real

New Haven, Conn, April 21-The first
gun Of the Connecticut campaign was
fired tonight when the republicans of
the state assembled in the persons of
their delegates for the opening of the
republican state convention, called to
nominate delegates TO the st. Louis
convention. Hon. Herbert f. Benton,
chairman Of the republican state CEN
tral committee. called the convention to
order. His opening remarks took the
form of a welcome to the delegates, in
cluding an assertion that the republi-
oans of the state were in favor of pro-
lection and sound money. Hon. Edgar
M. Warner. temporary chairman, was
greeted with cheers.
His address was an eloquent argu-
ment in favor of protective tariff and
sound money He said the people
demanded a sound financial plank in
the platform and that there would not
be the slightest question as to the views
of the republicans of Connecticut on
this question. He predicted that such
a plank would be adopted at to-mor-
rows convention.

At 11:45 the regular order was de-
manded and Daniels. chairman OF the

contest of John l. Rinaker. republican.
vs.. +. +. Downing. democrat. from the
Sixteenth Illinois district. The report
favors the seating OF Rinaker. on the
face Of the returns Cobb has a majority
OF sos votes.
Royse. republican. Indiana, who
opened the debate. said that the white
counties In the district gave Goodwin a
majority of 3.6l2. while the three black
counties returned majorities so large
for Cobb as to overcome the majority
for Goodwin in the white counties. The
testimony, he said. showed extensive
frauds in the black counties. which
warranted a reduction OF Cobb's vote

ocrat. Kentucky. and several other
democrats jumped to their feet and de-
manded recognition as matters OF priv
ilege and to make parliamentary In
quiries. Barrett was deaf to the clamor,
refusing to recognize them for any
purpose unless Daniels yielded.
Bailey. with flushed face. insisted up
on recognition for a preliminary inquiry
as a right, not as a courtesy. and
shouted above the storm of protests on
the democratic side that II the occupant
OF the chair had any knowledge of the
rules he would know that a parlia-
mentary inquiry was always in order
But Barrett was obdurate. Just as the
strain was growing interesting, Speak
er Reed, who had been hurriedly sum-
moned from his private room In the
rear of the lobby. ascended the ros-
trum. He took in the situation at
glance. The trouble had arisen, he ex-
plained to the irate democrats. from
misunderstanding on the part of the
temporary occupant of the chair.
Ignorance, not misunderstanding,
shouted Bailey.
The speaker called Bailey to order
with a bang of his gavel, and continued
that Barrett, understanding that but
one and a half hours had been allowed
on a side, had sought to carry out what
he conceived to be the understanding.
Cobb was recognized to proceed and
the excitement quickly subsidized At the
conclusion of Cobb's remarks Daniels
closed for the majority.
At 4:50 D. m. Daniels demanded the
previous question. which was ordered.
The vote was first taken on the minority
report. declaring Cobb. the sitting MEM

a record they ask the people OF this
country to restore them to power.
With as much propriety might the in
competent and discredited directors Of
banking corporation. wrecked by
them, as known to have an honest re-
ceiver removed and the old directors
returned to control. We protest against
such party being again entrusted
with the administration of the govern
ment and declare that their return to
power would be fraught with danger
to the business interests and TO the
people of the country.
Believing that the true interests of
the people require that the earnings
OF trade and wages of labor be paid in
money that is intrinsically worth. in all
markets of the world, what IL purports
to be worth, we demand the mainte-
nance of the existing gold standard of
value and the government shall keep
all its obligations at all times redeem
able and payable in gold; and we op-
pose the free coinage of silver and any
further purchase of silver bullion and
the coinage thereof on government ac-
count.
I'VE demand that the necessity for
an adequate medium of exchange In
all sections of our country shall be met
by provision for an elastic banking cur
rency subject to such government
control as shall insure uniformity and
redemption in standard coin on de-
mand."
Thanks are rendered Secretary Car
lisle for his course as secretary of the
treasury and for his presentation of
the money question in addresses and
papers.

Providence, r. l., April H.-The demo-
cratic convention to choose eight dele
gates to the national assembly assembled
to-day. There was but little enthusiasm
and many towns were not represented.
Richmond E. Comstock presided. Refer
ence in his speech to William +. Russell
received great applause. especially when
he asserted that Russell would as presi-
dental candidate again lead the party to
victory. George w. Green was chairman
of the committee on resolutions.
The platform adopted endorses the ad-
ministration of Grover Cleveland, espe-
cially commencing Its firmness and abil-
ity in maintaining unaided by congress
the credit of the nation" 1t continues:
1T is vital to the interests of our people
that there should be no departure from
the gold standard, to which all money,
whether gold. silver or paper, should con-
form, and we are opposed to the free
coinage of silver until at least four of
the great powers of the western world
shall come to an international agree
ment establishing a ratio at which gold
and silver shall be admitted TO mintage.
We believe the Wilson bill was a step in
the right direction and should be given a
fair test. We do not believe in reciprocity
as ii is impracticable and unnecessary
ana tends TO create hostility against u.s."
The platform commends Ito the dele
gates at the Chicago convention one who
will make an ideal president. William E.

OF Governor Russelfs name called forth
great demonstration. The convention
elected as delegates Richard b. Comstock

their own alternates. The convention then
