IN ILLINOIS.

The goldbugs are moving heaven and
earth in their effort to throw the Iln-
nois democracy out of the silver line,
but up to this hour they are long way
from success. Governor Altgeld has
lately informed himself accurately as
to the outlook in Illinois; last Friday he
said in an interview: THE people of
Chicago are overwhelmingly opposed to
the single gold standard and to the
whole jobbdng policy of the federal adj
ministration. They will send practi-
cally a solid delegation to the state
convention in favor of the restoration.
of the free coinage of silver" -4
In the course of the interview. Gov
ernor Altgeld produces the proofs OF
the fact that he is speaking by the card.
Indeed, Senator Palmer round himself
compelled to admit, a few days ago,
that the anti-silver democrats need not
expect to prevail over the friends of
free coinage in the Illinois democracy.
There has been talk of a goldbug bolt
of some of these democrats. On that
score Governor Altgeld said: That is
simply to carry out a plan arranged by
eastern manipulators. The crowd that
has made millions out of the govern
ment during the present administration
is determined to keep its fingers on the
treasury. For this purpose it is re-
solved to control both conventions"
We especially commend to certain
partisan people in Montana these words
of the governor of Illinois: THE east
ern men care nothing about the polit-
ical parties. They are fighting silver.
They already have the st. Louis con-
vention in their hands and they are
fighting for the control of the conven-
tion at Chicago" o.

MORE OF IT.

In Idaho, too, there will be trouble
among the republicans. Senator Du-
bots, as the Standards readers remeun-
Der, recently let the people of Idaho
know that he proposes to fight it out
along the free coinage line and that he
will not support a goldbug nominee
I'm the event" the senator writes,
that the convention adopts a gold
bug or straddle platform or dominates
a goldbug or straddle candidate, /
shall bolt the convention"
This is the groundwork for faction
fight in Idaho. The home enemies of
the senator include one or two ambi-
tious republicans who condemned Sem
ator Dubois when he was one of the
five republicans who bolted the Ding
ley tariff bill. They are up and after
the senator now. They assert that his
course In THE senate shall not be APP
proved by the Idaho state convention.
They add that, If the Dubois people
outvote them, they in turn will bolt
name Mckinley delegates and take
the chances of getting seats at st.
Louis.
Thus again silver runs risk of a saw
age blow where everybody ought to be
its friend. The course pursued by
Senator Dubois certainly merits the
praise of all fair and-square silver
men in Idaho and Montana. but evil

that there was Mckinley tidal wave,

what you will, sweeping over the state.
Thereupon he felt it his duty to get
aboard, which he did with neatness and
dispatch. 1t is due to him to say that
his equalization was rather more grace
full than Senator Chambers in New
Hampshire, but it reflects no more
credit on his loyalty to New England
interests and New England IDEAS"

dubbed one Of their number. A deputation or
them called at Police Headquarters about mid
night and were instructed by Acting Inspector
Allaire to call this morning to lodge formal
complaint.
The students assembled in front of the Gar
den about : o'clock They marched in. shout

with the ticket taker to let the body Of students

A bargain had just about been arranged when
Policeman O'Hara interfered. He alleged that

Cohen saws that O'Hara stuck his club into his
face and told him If he did not keep quiet he
would ab the club down bis throat. 1t was al

thrusting the club at Cohen's neck and knock
ing him down. They also assert that he then
kicked the PROSTATE student and at the same
time prevented any one from assisting Cohen
by waving his club in the air
The students did not cease their noise for an
instant, and the house was in an uproar. Nearly
every one in the great building was pressing
toward the scene of the quarrel. and at one time
it looked as II pane might result. Some OF the
more hot-headed students wanted to fight the
