GORMAN TO PRESIDE.
Will Act as Chairman at Madison
Square Garden.

New York, Aug. 6.-There is said to
be some probability that Senator Cor
man will preside at the notification
ceremonies in Madison Square Garden
next week He certainly will be pres
entand it is understood that prominent
members of the notification committee
have advised his appointment as chair
man of the meeting. Senator German,
it is expected, will take a leading part
in the campaign, Notwithstanding the
fact that he has declined to serve as
chairman of the executive committee
Democratic newspapers in the east
unfriendly to Senator JONES' urge that
German should be placed in charge of
the campaign, superseding the present
chairman of the national Democratic
committee. 1t is argued by these jour
mails that Germans experience and pc
culiar aptitude for political work point
to him as the man best fitted for the
leadership. and, moreover, that he
would be able to control an element in
the party which is now out of reach of
the national committee

Gold Men Have Allied With Ag-
gregated Wealth.
Instead Of Discussing Questions
Economically, Says Faulkner.
A BITTER ISSUE MADE.
It Arrays the Masses Against
the Few Rich.
Pennsylvania Said to Be Swept
By Silver.

Washington, Aug. 6.-'FWhat am
afraid Of" said Chairman Faulkner of
the Democratic congressional commit
tee, lis that this campaign before it
ends will develop into a contest be-
tween the masses of the people and the
aggregated wealth of the country. The
fact of the matter is, the feeling over
the financial question is already so in
tense that it threatens to become al
most vindictive. It is ceasing to be
question between the standards and
gives promise of becoming a question
between the masses and the classes.
In a country like ours such an out
come Of a political issue is most deplor-
able. In the present dissatisfied con-
ditiOn of the great masses of the peo-
pie no bonds can be put upon the pos
sibilities of a bitter struggle between
them and the weather. classes.
4 attribute as to the cause of this
growing tendency of the campaign to
degenerate into a dangerous crisis, the
course Of the opponents Of silver in al
lying themselves openly with the great
money and corporate influences of the
country. The opposition has gone to
work as the avowed agents of the ag-
gregate wealth and corporate power
and is waging the campaign as such.
1T is not the Democrats who have
made the issue what it is rapidly be-
coming. We We're willing to discuss
silver fairly, as an economic question.
Inc OppOSlLlOu mas taken II OUT u TIC
realms of economic consideration, and
lowered it into a well defined issue of
corporate wealth against the great
body of the people. The Democrats
cannot be blamed in any way for this
division"
Mr.. James Kerr of Pennsylvania, ex-
clerk of the house of representatives.,
was a caller at Democratic headQuar-
ters today. Free silver is sweeping
through the mining and agricultural
districts of Pennsylvania he said.
Even in the big city of Allegheny, it
has firm hold among the labOring men,
and employees of the great shops. Along
the tier of northern counties the senti-
ment for free coinage is almost univer-
sal. I know of one township where
there were only two gold men and they
were converted to silver last week.
1T is possible, of course, that the sem
timent may be checked before election
day, but it will not be killed and will
revive again with renewed Vigor. The
banks are waging campaign against
silver that may check the movement
temporarily, but it will react and be all
the stronger for the temporary lull.'

WENT RAVING CRAZY.
The Tramp Who was Set Upon by
CoIored Toughs.

w. c. Grover. the tramp who was set
upon by North Topeka toughs some
little time ago and cut with knives, is
as crazy as men get at the county Jail.
Physically he is getting along nicely,
but now all at once he has shown
signs of insanity by jabbing at the Wis
itors with a broom handle through the
iron cage. Deputy John Jones was I'M
able to make him stop it and finally
took it away from him and took him
out of the cage. It was not long until
he began to yell.
His principal plaything all of one
night was a lineup with which he kill
ed imaginary reptiles and animals on
the floor until he didn't have any tin
cup left.
Then he got a notion that he was
herding cattle and all day he kept up
an almost incessant yelling
Somehow he got a little piece of a
strap a few inches in length and with
that he drove his chair around the mar
row cell yelling, Hi, hi, hi, whoa-up,
whoa-up!"
He was declared insane by the pro-
bate court yesterday and taken to the
asylum.

THOMAS OSBORN'S VIEW.
Thinks the Situation in Kansas is
Growing Brighter for Mckinley.

Chicago. Aug. General Powell
Clayton of Arkansas, who is a member
of the Republican national executive
committee attached to the New York
headquarters, called at the national
headquarters here today with United
States Senator ShOup of Idaho. The
Idaho senator, who refused to bolt, will
remain here until Monday, when he re-
turns home to renew his fight for Nc
Kinley and the organization of the Re
publican party in his state. Ex-Gov-
ernor Thomas A. Osborn of Topeka,
Kan, was also a visitor at headquar-
tiers on his way to New York.
General Clayton reported a growing
gold sentiment among the Arkansas
Democrats and said he expected to see
three or four congressional districts in
his state go Republican as a result of
the Democratic revolt against free sill
yer.
Governor Osborn said that the situa-
ton in Kansas looked better every day
for the Republicans There was a
strong drift toward Mckinley and he
was satisfied that the party would not
lose any Republican votes on account
of the silver issue, but would gain from
the Democrats who repudiated the Chi
cage platform.

ADOG FOR EXECUTION.
A Lady Brings Her Pet to the Police
Station.

Yesterday a little woman with soft
brown eyes came to the police sta
ton ard told the officers that there was
a little dog at her house which she
thought was going mad. He had been
lying about the house frothing at the
mouth and swapping at anything that
came near him. While she was talking
the dog came into the station, "hopped"
down upon the floor, seemingly much
exhausted with the heat.
1t had followed the lady. THAT is
the dog" she said excitedly. 4 want
some of you to kill him. He is going
mad, think"
Jailer Disbrow called officer Bundy
and the latter procured a big six shoot
er and made ready to kill the dog
''Oh, don't kill him till I get away, "
screamed the lady as she made fran
tic effort to get outside the door of the
station.
''Oh, it is just like losing a child to
have him shot, she continued, and she
wept as she left the station. Officer
Bundy took the little creature, which
was not much larger than jack rab-
bit, out into the jail yard where he put
a Al callibre bullet into its head It
dropped dying to the ground and wag-
ged its tail a, few times

After an hours conference the COM

to give the Democrats any part of the

WARM WAVE GENERAL.
It is Unusual Both in Extent and in
Degree.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Reports of max
imum temperatures received show the
present warm wave is very general
and is probably the most severe of the
present summer. The officials say it is
very unusual for the summer tempeTa-
ture to reach a high point in so many
parts of the country at one time. The
heat is due to an area of high barome-
ter which has been prevailing over the
southern portion of the country and
low barometer in northern part which
results in great waves of heat coming
toward the north. In the city the heat
during the past few days has been in
tense and yesterday the thermometer
reached its maximum point, So degrees
Among the temperatures reported to
the weather bureau yesterday were:
Jacksonville 90, Pensacola sc, MOntgom-
cry So, Vicksburg, Miss, SO, Little Rock
