Michigan will have 2S delegates, 13
of whom are personally for silver and
Is for a gold standard, but as the con-
vention which elected them instructed
for gold standard platform and pres
idential nominee and adopted the unit
rule for the government Of the delega-
ton in voting, the entire delegation has
been counted for the gold faction. This
calculation may. however be disturbed
by two contests started by silver men
in districts represented in the delega-
ton by gold men. If the silver contest
ants should be seated by the creden-
ton the delegation would then stand
Is silver and 13 gold delegates, and act
ing under the unit rule its Is votes
would 60 to the silver faction.
In Nebraska the convention held
under the auspices of the regular or
ganization of the party elected a gold
standard delegation of 16. The silver
Democrats of this state will, however,
send a contesting delegation to Chica-
go, and an impression exists that with
the silver men in control of the organiza-
tion Of the convention. the contesting
instead of the regular delegation will
be seated. If this latter is done griev-
Gus injustice will be perpetrated, as
there is no question about the gold
standard men being in the majority In
the Nebraska Democracy. A vote
taken at the last general election
showed that the numerical strength
80 <t,a fc tn ho q IA
was more than twice as great as that
of the silver Democrats.
In Texas, also, two state conventions
of the party were held, one Of gold and
the other of silver Democrats. The
latter claimed to be acting under au-
thority of the regular party organiza-
ton, and the delegation Of 30 they Sc
lected to go to Chicago will ask admis-
sion on that score. The other set Of
fight. however.
If the Michigan delegation as made up
at present is seated. as it probably will
be, the strength of the goldites will be
increased to 346 votes. If the regular
delegation from Nebraska gets in, the
gold side will have 362 votes. The silver
delegation from Texas has the best
prospects of being seated which, if it
| occurred, would increase the delegates
credited to the silver side of the con-
vention to 56S-102 more than majority
of the convention, but So less than two
thirds. If the silver men win in all the
contests noted, and thus secure the del
egates from Michigan, Nebraska and
Texas, they will have 612 delegates. or
| less than two thirds.
| What effect the efforts of the eastern
| Democracy to prevent radical silver
action by the convention will have is
at present hard to tell, but that they will
make mighty effort to prevent such
action goes without saying, and those
| fellows from the east have a habit of
| being very potent in national conven-
| tions. In this connection it is to be re-
membered that not all the delegates
classed as silver men are as radical as
| the men who withdrew from the recent
/ Republican convention.

rather Of the gold miner. has all the
reasons OF experience" In accepting "the
proposals of men whose action" has
been q constant means Of profit. The
gold Legislators have failed: no single
promise they have made. nor expectation
they have created has been realized"
outside of their own immediate pockets.
That gold miners should not "still fol-
low these futile men is only new evil
dence' of the perversity OF men to take
advantage of their opportunities
The alliance" between the gold min
ers and the contractionists is easily ex-
planned. They both want dear dol
lar. They are contractionists and want
to double debts and credits and cut
prices in two. They are warm in any
inJudicious action or dishonest prac-
tice to secure what they want. Read
Henry Clews' financial letter of June is
and learn with what dire calamities
these inhuman individuals threaten a
free people in the event the laws Of spoil
iation passed at their behest are not sus-
tanned by the nominating conventions
this month.
Values of things would advance with
16 to (silver and gold) currency. The
immediate effect Of the passage of a
bill restoring silver to its former rights
at the mints would be to lessen the de-
mand for gold and increase the demand
for silver. And by the arrival of the day
set LOT tHe law 10 go INTO operation the
commercial and coinage ratios will have
practically met. The throwing of $50
millions of silver into use among 20 mil
lions Of people scares no one but the
money lender, the gold speculator and
the stock gambler.
The advocate of gold, in his fulmina-
tions against silver as primary money,
blows hot and cold. The air is lurid
with words about people wanting to pay
debts with 50-cent dollars; repudiators
and confiscators. With inflated arro-
gance the question is waived out Of the
domain of legitimate discussion-it can
only be question of personal morality.
But in the next breath a collar Is burst
with indignation at the thought, as he
alleges, that the silver miners are in a
conspiracy to obtain free coinage of sill
yer at is to / because 1t will enhance the
price OF silver to $1,29 an ounce If
these mutually destructive arguments
are not uttered in nearly the same breath
1t Ia not because he does not intend to;
1t Is simply a slip-a lapsus cerebrum
1t Is very plain to him that silver at 81. 20
an ounce would make a 50-cent dollar!
Yet he and his coadjutors ask us to vote
for them again without their having
obtained any new grasp Of the subject" !"

BOTH OFFICERS CLEARED
Queer Police Trial Finally Dis
nnced NJ

The Commissioners have approved the
findings Of the police trial board, which
recommended the dismissal of charges upon
which Private John Brennan and Station
keeper Philip Mansfield were tried August
22 last for conduct unbecoming an officer.
This is the case which attracted consid-
able attention about the first OF August
by reason OF the prominence OF the several
parties concerned in the prior transaction
The circumstances, briefly stated, are
I tn, Sc: Mrs Louise Bryant, who was inti-
tsately identified with humber OF wo-
mems societies, is alleged to be at times
subject to mental alteration. On occa-
sions when she happens to harbor halluci-
nations she is regarded by her friends as
unable 10 take proper care of herself. and
this fact seems to be understood generally
in the circle in which she moves.
1t occurred on OF about the 30th OF
July last that Mrs. Bryant was discovered
by Mrs. Belva Lockwood to be standing
on the tracks of the Metropolitan street
car line near the District building, evil
den:ly awaiting the approach or a car.
Mrs. Lockwood also discovered that her
friend was in an excited state, and upon
approaching her became convinced That
She should not be left alone.
Mrs. Lockwood Immediately took charge
OF Mrs. Bryant, and with some persuasion
induced her To get on car and go home,
MTS, LOchWOou accompanying NET d.
fore proceeding far, however, Mrs. Bry-
ant insisted ON alghting from the car,
and her friend followed to see that She
came to no harm.
1t soon became evident to Mrs. Lock
Wood, IL Is alleged, tnat she could not
give her proper care, and she called Po-
liceman Brennan, informed him of the
situation, and requested him TO see that
the unfortunate lady was given proper
protection.
That is the way the two officers became
involved. Brennan found it necessary to
call the patrol, and Mansfield responded
with it. Mrs. Bryant was conveyed Ia
No. q precinct station house and placed
in a room in charge OF The matron, until
such time as she could be properly ex-
amincd. 1t is understood tAat the truubl,
lasted but few days. and she was dis
charged from custody.
Among Mrs. Bryant's friends is Mrs. Ruth
G. ID. Havens, and upon the grounds that
the detention of Mrs. Bryant was unneces-
| sary and that she was mist reated. Mrs
Havens sought to have the officers punished
| 1t is alleged that she wrote a letter Il
| the trial board, in which She disclosed
| us her belief that Mrs. Bryanr was cntirel,
| sane and detailing circumstances whlcl
| she said sustained her belief.
| A son of Mrs. Bryant, 1t Is said, investi
gated the matter for himself, and the Iac
| that lie did not afterward interest himself
in the prosecution Is accepted as evidenc,
| that he became satisfied of the necessltl
| for his mothers detention.
| The order was issued yesterday confirm
| ing the findings OF the trial board.
