ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS GATHER

gold men and friends of Cleveland appear
to have captured the Wisconsin Democ-
racy, and at the convention of the party,
which will assemble at the Bijou Theater
tomorrow at II o'clock, the gold men will
be able to run things their own way. The
silver forces of the State are not organized
and the victories won by them in the pre-
liminary skirmishes about ten days ago
alarmed the gold men and only tended to
spur them on to more vigorous efforts.
Every sound-money man in the State
was called upon to make special effort to
secure the election of the gold delegates,
and the result was that in some of the
counties which were thought to be BIZ
metallic the gold men were successful.
There will be $50 delegates in the conven-
ton and careful estimate shows there
will be, as far as heard from, 149 gold men,
81 silver men and 81 doubtful.
Thomas F. Frawley OF Eau Claire, a
sound-money man, will be temporary
chairman.

in manner beftting Caesar on his return
from the Gallo wars, and there was almost
as much enthusiasm over him in Cleye-
land as there was over Major Mckinley in
Canton. The American people admire a
clever man, and they are inclined, perhaps
a little too much; to worship success.
Mr.. Hanna is both clever and success
full, and that is why he is admired l do
not know of any other person living in
the shadow of the smoke from the factory
chimneys of the East or West who can
show the same executive ability or who can
show the same capacity for handling
varied enterprises. He is a thorough bus
mess man, and his prominence as politi-
cal manager is due to the fact that when
he has campaign to make he looks upon
it just as he would look upon any business
enterprise-simpl as piece of work to be
done and to be done well.
1t was part of his business to see that
the large investments which he has made
should be protected from the danger of a
currency which fiuct1ates in value and
which is recognized as bullion by those
nations with which this country has the
most intercourse. 1t was also part of
his business affairs to prevent the flooding
of this country with the cheap labor

unit rule and instruct the delegation to
Chicago to cast the entire vote of the State
for free silver.
Tonight it was announced that the
State Central Committee of which major
ity is for the gold standard, would name a
gold-standard Democrat for temporary
chairman of the convention. This so ex-
asperated the free-silver men that they is
sued notice from their headquarters that
if this was done they would ignore the Sc
lection and choose a chairman of their
own. They have agreed upon Thomas E.
Powell OF this city for temporary chair
man. The free.silver organization has de-
cided that the convention shall not in
dorse any candidate for the Presidential
nomination.
This will be fatal TO the aspirations of
John w. Bookwalter, who was to ask for
the Endorsement of the convention. His
friends still say that a motion viii be
made to give him this Endorsement The
platform is to be short. 1t will declare in
the piainest terms for the free coinage of
silver in the ratio of 16 to l, denounce the
work of the present Legislature and the ad.
ministration of Governor Mckinley; criti-
clze the Congress at the last session and
ignores President Cleveland entirely.

turists in California and which would in
time bring wages and the standard of liv-

Pacific Coast. He knew that this was a
matter which went beyond mere partisan
politics, because it concerned the bread
and butter of the laborer and the mechanic
all over the Nation because the laborers
and mechanics have become educated by
bitter experience into the knowledge that
if man sends his money away from home
he will in course OF time be allowed to send
his labor away from home also.
1t was apparent to him that the forego-
ing state of affairs, if allowed to prevail,
would so diminish the purchasing power
of the masses of the people that the sales
of goods would decrease, prices would
cheaper with the cheapening of their
price of labor and the margin of profit
would become smaller and smaller. Mr..
Hanna, no doubt, knew from the his
tory OF this country that the gh-priced
times were the most prosperous. The
tramp and the industrial army were un-
known, factories were running full time,
aud with full sets of hands. good prices
prevailed for farm and all other home
products. But by and through the intro
duction of foreign competition, which the
Democracy welcomed with open arms and
beating heart, the nickel becomes split up
into cent pieces and the Democracy
achieved its hearts desire of cheap goods
made by cheap men, women and children.

NEW YORK'S DEMOCRACY.
Leaders Have Selected Delegates
and AlternateS for the National
Convention.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 22.-Several
Of the prominent Democratic leaders are
in Albany tonight. Chairman Binkley
of the State Committee arrived this even
ing and proceeded at once to Senator Hill's s
home, where he will spend the night. Ex-
Secretary of the Navy Whitney accom-
panied him. Senator Hill, Mr.. Whitney
and Mr.. Hinkley will start tomorrow for
Saratoga. A long conference between the
leaders ensued at Senator Hills home.
The discussion was, of course, mainly on
the platform to besadopted and the fight
to be made for honest money at Chicago.
1t is understood the four delegates at
large to the Chicago convention will be
Senators Hill and Murphy, Ex-Governor
Flower and Frederick R. Coudert
Mr.. Whitney reiterated his desire not to
go as delegate. and Mr.. Coudert was de-
cided upon. 1t is well known that Senator
Murphy, although he will be elected a
delegate at large, does not intend to go to
Chicago. AS his alternates two names are
mentioned = ex-Postmaster General Bis
sell of Buffalo and ex-Mayor Grace of New

Before the firemen arrived the crowd
had dug from beneath the ruins on the
sidewalk the mangled corpse of an old
woman-a mere passer-by who had met
death through the criminal economy OF
those whose business it is to be careful Of
life
"She is alive,' shouted the man nearest
the motionless form and his cry was taken
up by the thousands who had gathered,
more from an indefnable feeling that
something terrible had happened rather
than from any true knowledge of the ex-
act condition of affairs.
''You are mistaken, my friend" said a
white haired old gentleman Who had
joined the rescuers, "she is dead"
Then the cry was taken up, and long
before the body was clear of the debris
the people in that vast throng for blocks
around were telling to each other how an
old woman had met death. What was
worse, she was unknown. No one seemed
to know whence she came or whittier she
was going.
But the dead woman was forgotten
momentarily at least, in the mad but
earnest desire to rescue the living, if there
were any. from the mass of smoldering
ruins, thirty, yes, forty, feet high, which
threatened with each gust of wind to

DEMOCRATS OF TEXAS.
Sound-Money Men VIII Be Beaten
by the Champions of the
White Metal,

AUSTIN, TEX, June 22.-The Demo
cratic State Convention to elect delegates
to the National Convention meets to-mor-
row, and indications are that there will be
a hot fight in the free-silver ranks over
the delegates from the State at large The
convention will undoubtedly be dominated
by the free-silver element.
The State Convention of the sound
money Democrats also meets here to-mor-
row, and will probably send contesting
delegation to Chicago. The call was for
this purpose, but the development of the
free silver strength in the National Con-
vention has thrown damper on the propo-
sitlon.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-23

with the best interests of the people, both
employers and employed. Such man
had been in Mark Hanna's eye for many
years, man devoted to the principles of
protection and whom the people of his
own and surrounding States honored for
it. That man was William Mckinley of
Canton, Ohio, only sixty miles away from
Mr.. Hannas home. Here was the work
to be done to save the industrial interests
of this country, and here was the man who
could do il. Mr.. Hanna comprehended
the many serious difficulties in the way.
He was aware that Platt of New York and
that Wall street wanted Levi P. Morton
for the Presidency; that New England was
under the magnetic spell of Tom Reed +;
that Quay of Pennsylvania, with his lever
on that State, was foeman not to be de-
spised, he being one of the subtlest and
most energetic of politicians. Then there
was the silver rock away out West on
which Teller and his adherents had taken
their stand. A man with less steam power,
with less will force and courage than Mark
Hanna, would have faltered in the face of
so many obstacles, but these seemed only
to inspire him.
Mr.. Hanna proceeded to do business on

burst into seething pile of flames. For
tunately at this moment Chief Sullivan,
with half dozen engines at his back, ar
rived. A steady flow of water for a few
moments sufficed to assure those who still
lived within the ruins that if death was to
come before they could be rescued, 1t
would not take the form of fame and
smoke.
Then the real work of relief began. Fully
half thousand determined hands, spurred
on by the goodwill of thousands, attacked
the huge mass of splinters and shattered
tim bers. The heavy smoke and still heavier
steam rising from the incipient fires below
half blinded and strangled them at first,
but there were lives to be saved and they
stopped for nothing.
Timbers flew right and left, and in ten
minutes Fifth street resembled closely the
remains OF the building which had so sud-
denly mained or killed nearly score of
people. Near the top of the pile were
probably hundred men, many with axes,
and all with tool of some character, seek
ing to cut through the roof and ceiling.
They knew that death alone did not walk
in the shattered structure. for heartrend-
ing cries, faint, but clear, could be heard.
Finally the timbers were cleared away.
and Miss Pearl Woodward was lifted from
her treacherous position. The multitude

COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 22.-As the sd-

even stronger than anticipated. 1t is al
most impossible TO find an advocate of the
