st. Louis, June 4.-The work of rails
ing and distributing relief funds for the
tornado sufferers Is houndering In the
municipal politics. Honest differences
of opinion upon the advisability and le-
Rolity of appropriating city funds for
relief have grown into bitter political
warfare. Mayor Walbridge, possible
candidate for governor, has resolutely
refused to appeal TO the outside world
for aid. Tuesday night he was hanged
in effigy in South ST. Louis, and large
public meeting held there demanded
that he withdraw from his position OF
independence. IL is unquestionably true
that the friends and opponents of the
mayors political hopes are found OPP
posing each other in the matter of So
Letting relief.
The measure TO appropriate 100000
of city funds for relief also met strong
opposition on the plea that IL was IL
legal The bill was resubmitted
Wednesday with proviso making IL
legal. The house OF delegates, the
lower branch of the municipal assem-
bly,, met in special session "Wednesday
afternoon TO consider the amended ap.
preparation bill. The proceedings at
times approached a rough-and-tumble
fight among the members. The house
was in special session for the purpose
OF passing an amended relief bill OF
500. 900 for the sufferers OF last Wednes-
duy's tornado. The city charter re-
quires a two-thirds' vote on all relief
bills. and the vote by which the bill
passed Tuesday was one short of the re-
| quired number.
When the session was called 20 order
| &c lacked several members OF quorum.
and the sergeant-at-arms was ordered
TO secure the attendance of delinquent
delegates. Before this was accomplished
number OF political discontents adopt
ed filibustering tactics and demanded
that the members present vote on the
bill. BY this means IL was thought TO
| defeat the bill. The motion 10 vote was
carried, and count showed that the
ILL had been adopted. Speaker Kelly
refused TO announce the vote until seven
filibustering members could be cor
raled and made TO vote. Much disorder
| followed, and several times IL looked
as though the session would degenerate
into an exhibition OF fisticuffs. The ser.
eeant-at-arms finally corraled the miss
ing members and the bill was passed by
vote OF 10 TO 3. The bill now goes u
the upper house and will be immediate
" passed.

The victory of Pcrsimmon caused a
scene OF almost unparalleled enthu-
siasm about the race course. The prince
of Wales was evidently greatly pleased,
and Il was with difficulty that the police
and others were able TO make way for
him TO meet the returning horse. The
prince personally led Persimmon TO the

element and loud and hearty cheering

FUSION TALK IN KANSAS.

TOPEKA. Kan, July l4.-Now that
there is every reason to expect that

their hasty action some months ago

there is to be fusion. the managers Of

The State central committee of the
Democratic party, that convention
coming first, will have to take the in

man, says that nothing will be done
until after the Populists and Silver

CHICAGO, July SIN the magnificent
and capacious Coliseum in jackson
park, beneath clear skies, with cool.
invigorating breeze swapping at the
flags and trappings. and the blue wa
ters of Lake Michigan stretching
away to the north, the Democratic
national convention met yesterday.
After q brief but decisive battle in the
arena, the silver men INDICATED their
supremacy. They wrested from the
hands of the gold phalanx the control
of the convention and gathered the
reins of power into their own hands.
There was a Renaissance of that
other great coliseum. whose fall
marked the destruction OF an empire,
where men were butchered to make

sword that silver might be supreme.
By one of those strange fateful CO.
incidences, it was Senator John w.
Daniel of Virginia, who four years
ago, at the wigwam, nominated Mr..
Hill for the presidency, who was Sc
lected to give the fatal blow to the
man whom he would have exalted to
the first place in the republic. No
more eloquent commentary on the
revolution which has divided the
party and made this convention so
memorable could be needed.
There was no demonstration during
the day for any of the candidates, but

cipients of individual ovatiors. The
followers of both sides took every
opportunity to cheer their champions.
Among the distinguished guests
seated in the rear were a number OF
gold leaders who had been cOnspic-

would be swept by the silver cohorts
in their States. These included Gen
eral Gordon of Georgia. Senator Lind
