rudy face and his dress give him the
look of a sea captain ashore.
1t is said by some of Morris intimate
friends that, far from being annoyed at
occasionally being mistaken for sailor,
he dearly likes il and tries to encourage
the delusion. Once, while rolling
through waterside street in London,
Morris was overhauled by seafaring
man, who beloved:

truthfully, and, taking the sailors arm,
he led him to the nearest tavern, where
he filed him with good cheer, both
liquid and solid.

Morris became u printer. Half an artist

ways were best and that the beautiful

manuscripts should be used now instead
of being discarded for the prosaic and
unpicturesque print against which his
artistic soul had long rebelled. So, after
he had learned how to set type, he also
learned how to make it, and then with
great patience and wonderful skill he
set about cutting font Of type to suit
himself.

MATABELES ARE DEFEATED.
Friendly Natives Take q Hand in Fighting
the Re6eMous Blacks Near

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, June 23-
A dispatch received here from Buluwayo'
under to-day date, says force OF friendly
natives have had an engagement with and
defeated the Matabeles on the MazlanI
River securing a large number OF cattle
and sheep. Many of the Matabeles were
killed in the fight.
Reports from Fort Victoria say the ma
Gives in that vicinity are in state OF inde-
cision as to whether or not they shall sup
port the uprising. Commandant Weals,
with fifty volunteers, has started out from
Fort Victoria for the purpose of inducing
the waverers not to JOIN the enemy.
The column under command OF Captain
Spreckley has returned to Buluwayo after
having made successful foraging expedi-
ton. Captain Spreckley reports having
found the bodies of four white men, who
had evidently been killed by the natives.
The bodies were buried by his command.

is the opinion of almost every Ohio silver
man who comes to Washington, many of
them Governor Campbel's warm est friends
and some of them his supporters. i Is
estimated that he cannot poll more than
one-third of the delegation at any time.
1t has been reported here for some time that
John r. Mclean offered his support to
Campbell some time ago, and that it was
accepted. Later it was stated that some
of the same men who had induced Gov
ernor Campbell to remain in the race went
TO Mr.. Mclean and asked him to allow
the use of his name Jor first place. Mr..
Mclean declined and announced that he
would support Campbell. The story is
given on the authority Of number of re-
sponsibie men, but may be one of the idle
runners floating around. Mr.. Mclean will
be a power in the Ohio delegation, and if
he is supporting Campbell the latter will
be fortunate.
The Vice-Presidential nomination IS
also going to be eagerly sought after. Mr..
McLean's friends are pushing him with
vigor Many of the Presidential possibili.

place when they have been knocked out

along with rush. In an interview to-
day Judge Washburn said:
"It is no detriment to any other man to
affirm that in the variety and grasp Of Mr..
Barker's mind and qualification he would
make President that would honor the
Republic, return to the first principles OF
the constitution and administer the Gov
ernment in the interests of liberty and OF
the people of the Government, as mas not
been done for a long time.
Nominated and sustained by the bi-
metallists of the country, rejecting the
novel heresy of gold monometallism and
the delusive catch words of sound money
and advocating the return to the money
of the constitution for eight years, Mr..
Barker will surely be elected. L do not
hesitate to affirm that Mr.. Barker is the
very man that answers to the peculiar
exigencies of the greatest crisis of the
Nation, in which is again before the peo-
pie the great struggle of independence
from the domination of English feudalism
in the form of money and aristocracy."

FREE SILVER WILL WIN.
Governor Matthews and White
Metal Men to Control the In
diana Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 23.-The
Democratic State Convention meets here
tomorrow. Governor Matthews will con-
troll the organization, and it is altogether
probable that free silver will win. There
will be fight. however, as minority re-
port will be introduced.
District conventions were held through
out the State to-day, some of them being
attended with considera ble excitement.
To the surprise of everybody, the sound
money people were able to control the
Tenth District and put sound-mo oney
man on the resolutions committee, as well
as two soundmoney men on the Chicago
delegation.
J. F. Gallagher of Michigan City will
bring in the minority report favoring a
gold-standard plank and it will be sup
ported by w. d. Bynum and other leaders
on the floor.
The delegates to the Chicago convention
were elected in this (the Seventh) district
tonight. The sound-money meh elected
two in the Tenth and two in the Seventh
but one of these latter is contested by the
silver men.
The plan of Governor Matthews to-day
to control the Seyenth District conven-
ton failed because the credentials COM
mittee did not get through its work in
time to seat the silver delegates before the
meeting of the district. One other gold
delegate was elected In the Third District,
but he was tied up with silver instruc-
tions.
Judge ShanKlin declined to stand as a
candidate for Governor, and the nomina-
tion will thus go to ex-Congressman B. f.
Shiveley of South Bend, IND, by acclama-
ton. He is radical silver man.
The financial plank in the platform
reads:
We maintain the time-honored Democratic
principle of bimetallism and reiterate our
allegiance to that soundest and most honest
monetary system, and demand the immediate
and independent restoration of silver by the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver as primary money at the ratio OF 10 to l,
without awaiting the action of any other
nation, such change to be full legal tender for
all debts, public and private.
The other planks in the platform declare
in favor OF the present tariff law on the
theory that the lack of free coinage is the
sole cause of the present depressed tinan-
cial conditions; gives Governor Matthews
a strong indorsemen for the Presidential
nomination; declares strongly in favor of
the independence of Cuba; demands the
election of the United States Senators by
popular vote and reaffirms the time
honored" doctrine of personal rights with
out specifically mentioning the Nicholson
bill,

UNDER OLD-TlME LEADERS
Gold Democrats of Wisconsin Carry
the Day, and the Yellow M etal
Plank Causes Cheers.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 90. = The
Democratic State Convention met here
this morning. Upon the stage in the
Bijou Opera-house were gathered the old
time leaders-Senator Villas, General Bragg,
W. c. Silverthorn, Thomas Barton and
other notables who were cheered as they
took their seats. At IL o'clock ex-Gov
ernor Peck, chairman of the State Central
Committee, read the call and introduced
Thomas F. Frawley of Eau Claire, who
acted as temporary chairman.
After Mr. Frawley's address the usual
committees were appointed, their person
mel indicating clearly that the gold men
had full control of the. convention.
The chief interest in the committees was
centered in that on resolutions. The only
enthusiasm manifested was when the
name of some well-known advocate of free
silver coinage at ratio of 16 to l was
reached. Especially was this the case
when the name of w. G. Silverthorn of
Wausau was announced to represent the
Ninth District. After recess the conven-
ton reassembled at 1855. The temporary
officers were made permanent, and Mr..
Usher read the report OF the committee on
resolutions. The names of Cleveland,
Villas and Mitchell were cheered to the
echo and there were loud cheers for the
gold plank.
Mr.. Silverthorn submitted a minority
report in favor of free coinage. He called
the leaders of both parties protoplastic
prevaricators.
Senator Villas made stirring appeal for
the gold standard, and after numerous
speeches the minority report was rejected.
The delegates at large are: Senator Villas,
General Edwcrd S. Bragg, James G. Elan
ders of Milwaukee and James J. Hogan OF
La Crosse.

DEMOCRATS OF TEXAS.
Regulars" and "Sound Money"
Men Hold Separate State
Conventions at Austin

AUSTIN, Tex, June 23.-The regular
State Democratic Convention to elect dele
gates to the Chicago convention met here
this morning with about 1000 delegates
present. After effecting temporary Or
ganization the convention adjourned until
BPM. AT that hour, the committee not
being able to report, adjournment was
taken until O'Clock.
The convention, at IL o'clock, declared
for free coinage. A minority report by the
soundmoney wing was voted down by
over two-thirds majority. The convention
will probably elect eight delegates from
the State at large to the Chicago conven-
ton, among them Ex-Governor Hogg,
Governor Culberson and Congressman
Bailey. 1t is the concensus of opinion
that Bland will be instructed for.
The "Sound-money" Democratic Con-
vention, with about 400 delegates present,
met to-day and in a harmonious sessi on
adopted platform repudiating the meth
DDS and actions of the State Democratic
executive committee in calling the regular
convention and fixing the mode of elect
ing district delegates. They declare the
action of the committee necessitates the
reorganization of the Democratic party in
Texas.
They congratulate the country that thus
far the credit and honor of the Nation has
been maintained by President Cleveland
and Treasurer Carlisle. They elected ff-
teen Democratic electors and called State
convention to meet IN Waco August 25 to
nominate State officers. A full delegation
was elected to attend the Chicago conven-
tion with discretion to act in such manner
as in their judgement will best promote
the integrity and honor of the Democratic
party of the State and Nation, and they
are instructed to act in concert with all
true Democrats for the advance ment of
sound Democratic principles. Adjourned

William c. Whitney, State Chairman
James w. Hinckley, Senator Hill and

All of the delegates who are here agree
that practically no opposition will be
made to declaration for sound money
and the gold standard. John Boyd

ant for the gubernatorial nomination, will
be temporary chairman, and the delegates
at large to Chicago will probably be SEN

The resolutions declare for free silver at
the ratio of IS to for the initiative and

ministration for it's action in Chicago dur
ing the American Railway Union strike
and the imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs
as an outrage. The question of fusion on
the silver question with some other Ma
tionai party was left to the judgment of
the delegates. They will go unin structed,
