How It Would Work.

The following is the test of a circular
which c. A. Aoffmordt & Co., are en-
closing with every letter which leaves
their office:
Free Coinage of Silver at the Ratio of Is
to /.
Who would suffer most from the de-
crease of the purchasing power Of one
dollar if free coinage at the ratio of liz
to | was enacted without the leading
European nations concurring?
All people having fixed income say,
from:
Deposits in saving banks.
Policies in life insurance companies.
Pensions
Salaries and wages, which would not
rise in hurry.
All small incomes from railroad and
other bonds all over the country held
by people who use all their income to
live.
All people wanting to borrow money,
particularly on mortgages, because they
would find no lenders of money; these
would probably exact contracts in gold
or foreclosure.
Who would suffer least?
Rich people, who can afford to wait
until our money would be worth again
as much as the money of other nations.
Employers of labor, who would pay
their labor in deprecated money.
Meanwhile there would be a general
distrust all over the Md very detri-
mental to all regular business.

What the Army Worm Is.

The army worm has appeared al
most every year, according to the
United States Bureau Of Agriculture.
Only occasionally, however, have they
been numerous enough to do serious
damage to crops In 1876 the entire
west was overrun with the pest. So
numerous were they that they stopped
railroad trains.
They crawied on the tracks in such
numbers that the wheels of the loco
motives were unable to obtain a grip
on the rails. They also swarmed over
the engines, disarranged the machin-
cry, thronged the cabs and ANNOYED
engineers and tiremen. When they are
once started nothing but death can
stop them.
The army worm is a species Of cater
pillar. 1t matches from an egg depos-
tied by a night-fying moth. Like the
moth, the caterpillar prefers the night
for labor and ordinarily remains quiet
during the day. The hot sun is dis
tasteful to the worms, and they die if
exposed to it for a considerable time.
The moth that lays the eggs is near
ly one inch long and is one and three
quarters inches from tip to tip of wing.
The eggs are deposited in rows of from
fifteen to thirty near the roots of grass
and grain where they will be protected.
More than 700 eggs have been found
in the body of moth when dissected
SO earnestly does the female work
while laying eggs that she dies after
two nights of hard labor. The worms
hatch week or ten days after the
eggs are laid, the time depending
somewhat on the climate. When their
lives as caterpillars are ended they
burrow into the ground and remain
there until spring, when they emerge
as moths to lay eggs to produce more
worms.

finding his relatives all retired and
fast locked in arms of Morpheus. His
efforts to awaken them and gain en-

to stir the midnight atmosphere, &C

Contagious Blood Poison has been ap-
propriately called the curse of mankind.
It is the one disease that physicians can
not cure; their mercurial aud potash
remedies only bottle up the poison in
the system, to surely break forth in a

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature Of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
1y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
IF afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infor1ned everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

upon Harrity, who spoke strongly and briefly in referring to the need of such man as his nominee in the eX- ecutive chair.
 The nomination of John Mclean of Ohio was seconded by Mattingly of the District of Columbia, the speaker calling him a fearless champion of free silver, a firm friend of the farmer and of the wage earner. Governor Pennoyer of Oregon was placed in nomination by Miller of Or egon.
 Then the nominations were ordere closed, there being before the conven- tion the names of Bland, Boies, Bryan Blackburn, Matthews, Mclean, Pat tison and Pennoyer.
 The balloting swiftly proceeded, the only Interruption being when some one of the gold states would announce it's refusal to vote. The ballots result ed as follows,
 First-Bland, 237; Bryan, 137; Boies, 67; Pattison, 94; Blackburn, S3; Nc i Lean, 54; Matthews, 37; Tillman, 17; Stevenson, 5; Teller, 8; Pennoyer, 8; Russell, 2; Hill, 1; Campbell, i; ab- sent and not voting, 179. Total, 930. Second-Not voting, 160; Bland, 2S1 Boies, 37; Matthews, 34; Mclean, 53; Blackburn, Al; Pattison, 100; Bryan, 197; Pennoyer, q; Stevenson, 10; Hill, 1; Teller, 8.
 Third voting, 162; Bland, 291; Boies, 36; Matthews, 34; Mclean, 54; Bryan, 219; Blackburn, 27; Pattison, 97; Stevenson, g; Hill, 1. Fourth-Absent or not voting, 162; Bland, 241; Boies, 33; Matthews, 3e; Mclean, 46; Bryan, 28O.
 Alabama and Illinois led in a change to Bryan at this juncture, state after state announcing it's vote in favor of the Nebraska orator As the vote of Oklahoma was called for there was pause and a curious silence The delegation was announced for Bryan. This gave the necessary two-thirds and, without waiting for further votes, the vast convention rose, roared in unison, a very hurricane of sound. Hats, canes and banners were thrown in the air, the bands played Hail to the Chief" and pandemonium of re- joicing continued for fifteen minutes. Then the poll was read and a second demonstration enSued
 Adjournment till o'clock was talk en.
 The convention was called to order for the evening session at $50, after long consultation in the delegations and on the platform. Plans seemed to be formulated by none as to the vice. presidency, and so within a few minutes GOvarnor Ctona of M;oco,,,,; moved that adjournment be taken till 10 tomorrow. The motion carried without opposition.

THE MORNING SESSION.
More Nominations Are Made and
 Then to Tie Voiting

CHICAGO, July 10.-Vaster than ever was the crowd that surged this morning to the doors of the Coliseum, nearly starting the doors from their hinges in the frantic struggle to occu- py seats within. By 10 the vast edi- flee was packed with a cheering crowd that came prepared to greet the Dem ocratic nominee before an adjourn ment should again be taken. Fears of unruly coltduct caused a conference between Chairman Stephen M. White and Colonel Martin, the sergeant-at- arms, the result being that the force of policemen and assistant sergeant at-arms was doubled. With these pre- cautions the morning passed off with few exhibitions of the wild disorder that had marked the convention the night befre.
 The call of states was resumed, in- cluding the states that had been passed last night.

 Delegate Doyle of New Hampshire, said half of the New Hampshire dele gates had announced their purpose not to support the ticket.
 Senator Winter of New Jersey, a delegate, said 'fThe Populists have made platform and will name a ticket now and they must support it. 7"
 The Delaware delegation is divided, but with the exception of one silver delegate 1t is strongly for an inde- pendent ticket.
 Connecticut had no caucus upon the situation, but the concensus of opin- ion seems to be that it shall take a passive part and hold aloof from vot- ing. Lynde Harrison, member of the Connecticut delegation, said: "The course to be followed by the sound money Democrats will depend largely upon the position Mckinley may take in his letter of acceptance. If he and Hanna persist in putting protection to the front and standing upon that as the only issue, they hardly see how the eastern Democrats can support him. If they will recognize the fact that the financial question is the only issue of this campaign our position may be different"
 Charles Tracy of Albany district, New York, quit the convention. He said: '1 do not think more than twenty-two out of the seventy-two New York delegates will support the Democratic platform and ticket"

DISSATISFIED GOLDBUGS.
Remain in Convention, but Will Not
 Support the Nominee.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The events of last night were naturally the talk in the hotel corridors this morning and the concensus of opinion is that the goldites, immediately after the ad- 1ournment of the convention, will eff feet at least partial organization for the purpose of downing the nominee Tariff seems to be buried completely and the name Of Mckinley is given more respect within Democratic gith- erings than ever known before. All the eastern representative of capital are insisting on active opposition to the Democratic nominee and cash is being offered in plenty for the work.
 All this evolved last night. When Massachusetts was reached on the roll | call for nomination, the chairman of the delegation said that they had been instructed to place in Governor Rus sell, but because of the platform and by his direction they declined to nom- mate him. McDermott of New Jersey brought down jeers and misses upon him by the defiant declaration that New Jersey does not desire to nomi- nate any man on this platform" oO Sop LuC Clluld1 dS UuO COIL vention was about on the point of ad- Journment, as Wisconsin was called. General Bragg of that state created a sensation by jumping to a chair and shouting Wisconsin will fight under another banner and for another candi- dater"
 Another sensation last night, though l Of differing nature, was that furnished with a young woman as the center of attraction. She was on the south ter | race and after the nomination of Boies mounted a chair and began waving the American flag to and fro, crying as she did so, "Boies, Boies, Boies!' Dele gates got on their chairs, the galleries | began to cheer and the Coliseum was | afame. Boies' banner was placed in
 her hands and she was carried down the slope by -maddened crowd about
 her to the platform where the Iowa delegation escorted her to the location
 of their delegation. The young wo- man who had led 25,000 in a deafening
 demonstration for fourteen minutes
 proved to be Miss Minnie Murray of
 Nashua, Iowa.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-William J. Bryan of Nebraska is the nominee of the Democratic party for the office of president of the United States.
 As was foreshadowed in the dis patches of last night, to him went the rush today, after several of the favor ite sons had been voted for, and the victory was won within few ballots. There had been those who predicted a time such as was known at the Gin cinnah convention, with hundreds of ballots, but the two-thirds rule was not abrogated and the nagGination was made without acrimony. Then the convention adjourned till the evening, then to again adjourn till the morrow
 The difficulty now is to settle upon an available vice-presidential candi- date. Those considered available are Blackburn of Kentucky, Mclean of Ohio, Matthews of Indiana, Sibley of Pennsylvania, George F. Williams of Massachusetts and Sewell of Maine. The general opinion is that the nomi- nee will be either Matthews or Mo Lean.
 Tonight Chicago is a very whirl- wind of enthusiasm, as the various state delegations, early released from the convention, are marching through the streets in early celebration of the partys choice. The nominee is at his hotel, alternately conferring with the leaders of the party and addressing delegations and shaking hands. Tele- grams of congratulation by the thou sand are pouring in upon him, among the first being those from his old neighbors of Nebraska.
 Beneath all is the rankle of the con- duct of the gold forces. Though de- feated their influence has been to put trif1e of gall into the cup of the vic tors and the chance of second Demo- cratic party is discussed with keenest interest by all.

BRYAN WAS AT HIS HOTEL.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-During the day Wm. J. Bryan did not put in an ap- pearance at the convention hall, re- maining at his hotel, whence he di- rected the fight being made in his be- half. There was a continual string of workers in consultation with him till the news was telephoned that he had received the nomination.
 A broad smile came over the face of the successful Nebraskan, and in a few words he expressed his qualification and his thanks to the friends who had so devotedly served him.
 During the afternoon and evening Bryan was serenaded by dozens of or ganizations, till the hotel was a scene of noise and blaring bands nearly ap- preaching in noise the convention hall.
 This evening Bryan is holding very levee, thousands pouring in to shake

 Senator Hill was asked if he had anything to say and he replied: T was Democrat before the convention and 1 am Democrat still.'
 Senator Hill said that his absence from the convention today could not be taken to mean that he bolted the convention.

"Sound Money" Is Declared
 Essential.
Hill and Whitney Will Lead the Forces-If Protection Is Subor- dinated They May Support
 Mckinley.

CHICAGO, July 10.-There now is no doubt that the eastern Democrats will form a new party and that their stay with the National Democratic conven- tion was simply for obstructive pur- poses. The administration wing has been in active consultation all today and tonight the announcement is pos itively made that an independent Democratic ticket will be placed in the field. The question has been over tariff, as much as over money The very essence of the New York Democ- racy's theories is as near an approach as possible to free trade, otherwise a bolt would have been made to Me- Kinley This being impossible, and allegiance to the silver plank being also out of the question it has been agreed that the only course will be to name another candidate and go brave ly to battle, even though victory be impossible in November. There can be no doubt that such movement is favored by Cleveland and the admin istration generally and that the power of all federal office holders would be evoked in its aid.
 It can be said that the silver men have done all they can to avert the bolt and have been conciliatory as possible in the matter. But nothing can wipe out the effect of the silver plank, and the tariff declaration, pro- viding for liberal import duties and incidental protection, is far from what the New Workers would wish.
 The effect of the defection is not deemed serious by the silver men. As one of the California delegation said: "The votes that would be gained by the new party would be in states where they would be taken from the Repub- licans and we would want nothing bet ter than that" No fear is expressed that the administration party would even take tithe of the Democratic vote west of the Mississippi or south of the Ohio.
 The plan of the separatists seems to be to force the hand of Mckinley. The Republican leader and his man agers and the St. Louis convention have all declared the money question to be only an incidental and local one, far subordinate to the great principle of protection If this declaration can be so modified as to place "sound money" first and foremost. it is be- neved many of the bolters will be con- tent.
 The movement gathered force this afternoon on the nomir ation of Bryan who is designated by ms ny of the east ern men 'Populist," from the fact that he was elected to congress from Omaha on a fusion of the Democratic and Populist tickets. It would have been impossible to have selected a man more repugnant to the eastern ideas, and his location is another point they check up against him.
 The idea was seen to be an entity this morning. Hill of New York did not appear at the convention hall and all efforts of the gold men to have him
