rago convention to support the free coinage

The gold men fought the report on rules
because it referred all resolutions without
debate. and claimed that this rule had been
injected after the committee had agreed on
It's report. The report was adopted after
various amendments and dilatOry measures
W ere defeated. After the report of the COM
mittee on permanent organization Gen. A.
J. Warner was escorted to the chair as the
presiding officer, and was received with an
ovation. General Warner was introduced
as an apostle of lG to l. He urged all to sac
riace personal preferences and all other
a.tcrs for the silver issue. The people
had made the issue and the st. Louis con-
venton had emphasized the issue by adopt
ing single gold standard. The lines were
never 80 distinctly drawn.

State Of Ohio and Indiana
Outfor Free Coinage
Texas Endorses

The New York democratic State conven-
tion. met at Saratoga, put itself on record on
the financial platform by adhering strictly to
the gold standard, and has selected its dele
gates to the national convention, who Will
adhere to these views, but in doing these
things it has followed out the predictions Of
weeks and has not created any sensation or
even mild surprise. The convention did not
uame presidential electors, has not put Itself
On record on any State issues, and has left
the selection of State committee until the
next State convention These things have
all been done with the ayOwed purpose OF
placing the party in, snch position that no
matter what the Platform Of the national
party is, it can be supported by the electors
nnd the party in this State.
The following delegates and alternates at
large to attend the national democratic con-
ventiOn we're elected:
Delegates David D. Hill, Edward Muir
ply, Roswell ?. Flower aud Frederic r.
Coudert.
Alternatcs-Robcrt Earl, s. N. Weed, Jacob
A Cantor, William Purcell.
In the proceedings of the convention thero
were no references to any factions in the
party in the State Everybody was for
sound money platform. The friends of Mr..
Cleveland aud MIR. Hill in their former con-
tests in the State are about equally repre-
5ented in the delegation 20 the Chicago con-
vention.

VENEZUELA ACTS PROMPTLY.

The latest complication in the Venezuelan
question has been promptly settled through
The friendly intervention Of the United
States Mr.. Andrade. the Venezuelan Min
istcr. called at the STATE Department and
handed to Mr. Olney copy Of telegram he
had lust received from Mr. Roias. the Ven
ezuelan Minister Of Foreign Affairs, stating
hat Mr.. Harrison. the crown surveyor of
British Guiana, who, with his party, had
been placed in arrest 10y Venezuelan officials
had been promptly released
1t is undoubtedly true that the prompt ac-
lion Of the Venezuelan government WAS in
measure due to Mr.. Olney's intcrcession
through our Minister at Caracas and it is
believed that the main issue between Great
Britain and Venezuela wi be even moro
Easy of settlement now that the latter gov
ernment has been so prompt to disavow the
act Of the suL-commissary.
Minister Andrale says that the Cuyuni
River has been the provisional boundary,

bank is in dispute, that on tho left has mover
been disputed until Harrison attempted to

Venezuelan authorities.

THEY DIED TOO SOON.

George Washington was President and
honored in his day,
He was the father of the land, and all
things came his way;
He had basketful of fun, wagonload
of fame
But he never was rooter at base ball
game.
Napoleon conquered half the world and
had a crown of gold,
And in his time his cup was just as full
as it could hold.
1t looks from here as though he should
have had his share of fun
But he never strained his vocals when
the home team won.
And also julius Caesar, who had his
share of sport;
He won score of battles and always
held the fort;
He killed off lots of people, regardless
of the cost
But he never slugged the umpire when
the home team lost.
And also Alexander, he turned most
every trick,
And then shed tears because there were
no more worlds to lick;
He climbed way up the ladder, as high
as people get
But he never pawned his scepter to pay
a base ball bet.

What Is
PURIFINE?

It is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being a scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
Of charge. taken care Of and kept
working day and night for $1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles. and ap-
peafs to everyone Of common sense.
The idea liz this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell Of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
it's place. You don't know that
powerful disinfectant is being used
IL you Judge by the lack of odor.

HORSE-WHIPPED BY A FATHER.
The Conductor So FearfuIIy Beaten
That He May Die.

A special from Tampa, Fla, says:
Conductor McIliefesh, who has charge
of pullman sleeper between this place
and New York, was so badly horse
whipped by DIR. n. b. Rhodes tonight
that his life is despaired of. Some
time ago DR.. Rhodes sent his thirteen
year-old niece to Winston, n. c., plac-
ing her on McIliefesh's sleeper. The
child reached her destination almost
crazy When questioned she said
when the tIain left Jacksonville she
was the only passenger on the sleeper,
and the conductor became very fami-
liar. Finally he enticed her into the
stateroOw aud locked the door. The
child BEGAN screaming in fright, and
Mclliefesh released her, begging her
to say nothing. The child's story was
wired to DIR. Rhodes. and tonight he
met McIliefesh's train, and horse
whipped him, it is thought fatally. The
mans face is cut to shreds, and physi-
clans say the sight of one eye has been
destroyed. When McIliefesh's offense
became known, there was a movement
to lynch him, but DIR. Rhodes prevent
ed this saying the fellow had been suf-
ficiently punished.

Although he sits next to Senator Stew

little stock in the Nevada man. Nor
does he take much stock in the Butler
stripe. said Mr.. Clements. He is a Re-

err vote for any Presidential candidate
who stands on a gold platform. His
thin, almost haggard figure and severe
face betolzen the student spoken of by

brightness meant for smile but brings
