FINANCIERS ACT.
Wall Street to Make an Active
Campaign.
Against Free Silver Among
Western Delegates.
GROWTH OF THE BOOM.
In Favor of Mckinley All Over
the Country.
Likely to Be Nominated on
First Ballot.

NEW YORK, March 4-Steps have been
taken today by the executive committee
OF the chamber of commerce sound
money! committee to conduct an anti
free silver campaign among the dele
gates to the Republican and Democratic
national conventions. The committee
met in secret session at the chamber of
commerce yesterday, In order to give
their campaign more force the members
of the executive committee determined
to present their views to the chamber of
commerce at q meeting Thursday, and
ask that body to invite commercial
bodies and business men throughout
the country to join in an evangellstlc
movement among probable national dele
gates A draft of the resolution that the
chamber of commerce will be asked to
pass was also prepared 1t recites the ne
cessity for active campaigning against
free silver, and suggests that Secretary
Carlisle's plan of forcing the national
conventions to adopt strong gold stand
ard planks is the best that can be devils
ed.
In their discussion the members of the
executive committee were OF the opinion
that the cham ber of commerce can do the
most effective work by communication
with other commercial bodies and by cor
respondence with big firms. One of the
methods to be pursued is for the big
merchants of New York to write to the
business men in the south and west
with whom they deal. urging op-
position to free silver. The New
York merchant will use all the
arguments at his command against BIZ
metalism and he will ask his CORES pom
dent 10 communicate in turn the argu-
ments to the retail merchants within the
districts favoring free silver. In this
way the chamber of commerce hopes to
reach business men throughout the
country.
Another plan talked of was the sending
out of anti-free silver orators. There
are Regiments of stump speake anxious
to educate the public if they are paid for
it, but the oratoricaI campaign is not
looked on with as much favor AS that of
distributing literature advocating the
adoption of gold basis.
The committee is already distributing
pamphlets, pointing out the reasons for
opposing free silver, and it was deter
mined to continue the distribution and
get as many more good" documents as
can be found
One of the documents that will proba-
bly, be distributed is Secretary Carlisle's
recent speech. Though that was not a
set speech the msm bsrs of the chamber
of commerce consider it one of the best
that has yet been delivered on the sub
iect. 1t will probably be sent to the del
egates to the Democratic convention at
Chicago, and although there will be moth
ing accompanying il to indicate that Car
Isle is being doomed for president, the
distribution of his speech NAV, it is
thought here, help to win the nomination
for the secretary.

Is to Be Disinterred at Wash
ington This Spring
And Taken TO a Bluff on the
Kennebec.
THERE TO BE BURIED
In a Permanent Tomb Near
Augusta, Ne.
The State of Maine May Take
Some Action.

WASHINGTON, March At has been
the cherished wish of Mrs Blaine" re-
marked Joseph II. Manley, formerly
postmaster at Augusta, Maine. where the
Blaine family reside, SHAT the remains
of her family should be removed from
their temporary resting place in Oak
Hill cemetery, Washington, and placed
at Augusta.
"Mrs Blaine has been negotiating with
a gentleman at Augusta for the pur-
chase of suitable site where the re-
mains of the Blaine family may be in
TERED, and it is likely the work of re-
moving the bodies from Oak Hill ceme-
terry will be done during the coming
spring. From the fact of the publica-
ton in regard to Mrs. Blaine intentions
in this respect, infer that the negotia-
tions have had satisfactory conclusion.
at is the desire of Mrs. Blaine, to have
her dear ones at their old home, for she
feels in common with the citizens of the
state that the honors heaped upon her
illustrious husband came to him as
citizen of Maine. Whatever action the
state may desire to take in re-
gard to the erection of a mon
ument over Mr.. Blaine's last resting
place. will be entirely satisfactory 10
Mrs. Blaine, but she will insist upon re-
moving the remains from Oak Hill and
having them inferred in the site she has
selected at Augusta, at her own expense.
1T would be difficult to picture more
beautiful spot than that chosen by
Mrs. Blaine, located, as it is
on the brow of the hill overlooking the
picturesque Kennebec river There
has been number OF munications
passed between Mrs. Blaine and the state
authorities in regard to the disposal of
her husbands remains, but everything
was held in abeyance pending a settle
ment of the negotiations for site"

Thomas A. Osborn was elected chair

ALL FOR GARDINER.

Scarcely n Dissenting Voice In the
City Against His Appointment as
Chief.
The probable action of the police COM
missioners in electing chief of police is
still the principal theme on the streets.
The commissioners still preserve 81
lence on the question.
1t is generally conceded among the
patrolmen and others who have not
taken sides, that Captain Gardiner now
stands the best chance of election. The
business men of this city are almost
unanimous for his choice, and no word is
heard against him.
The protest that arose when it was told
that Ellison would probably be appoint
ed, was a surprise to the commissioners,
and the protest is bearing fruit.
1t is the unanimous opinion that Ser
geant Ellison's friends have pulled all
the wires they can and that his appoint
ment is now out of the question.
There have been no more applications
for the position, and probably but the
two men named will be considered.

COST MORE THAN SI5O,OOO.
'Extras' snd Other Items Bring the Cost
of the Court House to $I64,OOO.

"Extras' and Other Items Bring the Cost
of the Court House to $164,OOO.
The county commissioners are face to
face with a deficit for the erection of
the new court house which amounts to
several thousand dollars. They are now
| trying to devise a plan to get out with
out leaving the county in debt outside
the bonds for the new court house.
While the original contract price of
the new court house was $127, ,675, enough
extras were added, in the way of differ
ent stone and changes in the plans, to
bring the total contract price up to $780,
1861 In addition to this the super
intendent was paid 1915 per day for
overseeing the work, and the architect
was paid 4 per cent of the contract price
for his work, or about $5,000 and this
takes almost all the $15O,000 received
from the sale of the court house bonds
In addition to this there is the furni-
ture and the elevator in the building
which will be paid for out of the general
revenue fund and which cost in the
neig ghborhood of $4,000. If these had
been paid out of the court house fund
the commissioners would find their fund
about 100000 short.
The commissioners are now con sider-
ing the question of whether money can
be taken from the county general rev.
enue fund and placed TO the credit of the
the county attorney for an opinion.
When they came to adopt the plans for
the court house the board found that
there was not enough land and the
property on the north belonging to
Charles Jockheck was accordingly con-
demned.
The appraisers fixed the price of the
property at $4,000 and as the commits
sioners supposed that there would be no
lack of funds the $4,000 was paid out of
the court house fund.
Now the commissioners are trying to
have the $4,000 taken out of the general
revenue fund to reimburse the court
house fund SO that the contractor may
be paid. Unless this is done Contr actor
Stevenson not be paid in full as the
fund will be about $4,000 short.
The cost of the court house has been
more than was intended and the commits
sioners might properly be accused of
extravag ance in some matters. Granite
was substituted for stone in the base
ment walls at cost of over $4,000 over
the original contract price, and there are
other items which might have been
eliminated.
The following items indicate the cost
of the building exclusive of the ground
on which it stands:
