The Platform VIII Declare UnequivocaIIy
for Free Coinage.
AUSTIN, June 24.-Both wings Of the
Texas Democrats met In separate session
here Tuesday at noon, but aside from per-
fecting temporary organization and the
appointment Of the various committees,
nothing was done. Adjournment was
then taken until afternoon. Monday
night both factions held oaucuses. The
silver men agreed To send eight delegates
TO Chicago, and as there seems TO be nc
formidable opposition to the caucus ac'
ton, it will probably hold good.
A draft Of the platform was seen by an
Associated Press representative, and 1t de
clares unequivocally for i6 to l; against
tariff, and is ut cross purposes with the
sc. Louis platform. At almost every turn
the gold men In caucus at night agreed
that it would be best To send a delegation
to Chicago to contest seats and they will
probably do that.

WHEAT A POLITICAL FACTOR.
The Rise in Price a Great Aid to Mo
 Kinley.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. - .Advices from reliable sources are received to the effect that the result of the fifteen to eighteen points advance in the price of wheat is effecting a great change in political sentiment in Oregon, Cali fornia, Washington, the Dakotas and Minnesota, and allaying disconl5ent generally in those sections. All of which is figured to the disadvantage of Bryan and his quack remedy for the ills that the masses are suffering from. This is Mckinley help from an unex- pected quarter, and it gives great sat isfaction around Republican headquar- | ters.
 Reports received by the agricult11ra] and state departments are coming in confirmatory of the bad wheat cror estimates in Russia, India and Argen. tina, previously sent through private and semi-official channels. These re- ports are important, in that they p11t the official stamp of reliability on facts known to the trade, but disputed.

BRING OUT THE FLAG.
Let Old Glory Brighten the Land Next
 Saturday.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Chairnnan Han ma of the Republican National com mittee has promulgated the following suggestion:
 ''The American flag has been in the present campaign an emblem or in signia of National honor Its influence has been for great good in the cause of good people. Its display in many places has been point in the ad- vancement of llhe country, a battle for the maintenance of its honor at home and abroad. I therefore suggest that on Saturday, October "A, all who intend to vote on November for the preser- vation of OUT National honor, for | sound money and llhe advancement of our peoples interests and general prosperity, display the National coiors at their homes and places of busi- ness, and wherever they may be seen !! in order that voters whose hearts are for their country may be strength ened in their purpose, and ldhose who are undetermined may more patriot ically and intelligently conclude how 1 to perform their duties as citizens" It is further suggested at the head quarters of the Republican National committee that the state, county and oity committees and clubs encourage l the display of the National flag on the last Saturday of the campaign in every part of the country, especially on residences, have flags and bunting on sale alt convenient places for farm CTS and others who live in localities remote from the popular trade points, and that the display of flags and bunt- ing be continued until after the Ma | tional election.

HOW GRArNN AN EXPLAINS IT.
Will Give ts5O,O00 to Charity for Proof
 of Bribery Charges.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Riley Grammar does not accep1 his sentence in having been ruled off the turf by dhe Jockey club with any degree of satisfaction In fact, he is very bitter about it, and does not hesitate ito express his feel ings in the most vigorous manner. For some years Grammar has been the greatest plunger on the turf, and his money has done much to keep interest alive
 In his statement concerning. his sus- pension Grammar says that he will give $50,000 to amy charitable institution if the Jockey club officials can prove that he ever offered a jockey, trainer oq owner a 'bribe. He admits that he gave Jockey Fred Taral $500 as a pres ent, but this was at the close of the IISheepshsad bay meeting last fall, and the money was given purely as a rec o2nition of TaTaPs work.
 Grammar does well in calling atten- tion to the fact that a jockey like Tara is above taking such sum as a bribe
 and those who know the jockey vii
 hardly doubt that Grannan's explana- Ibion is correct. Grammar has many friends on the turf, and many think il doubtful if the Jockey club has bene. l fited itself by its recent action.

". s. Martin of Fools';Gulch, During aDrunken Debauch Abuses Ills Wife and Her Son an nd Is Shot in Self Defense.

Word reached this city yesterday of a murder which was committed last Friday might at Fools Cullen. The particulars of che kiilinlg oG the man as near as could be asoer.ained are as follows:
 IA miner manned w. s. Martin had been drinking heavily for several days and was in a quarrelsome mood. He had a grievance, real or fancied against his stepson, William Chafhn, young man 23 years of age. Wednes- day might while intoxicated he went to his stepson's place. The latter lived in a tent, and Martin with a knife cut the tent open and slashed the canvas in several places. After performing the work to his satisfaction, Martin went to Congress Friday night, still in a drunken condition. He found his step son, whom he chased around the camp with threats to kill him. He then went to his home, where he began abusing his wife, the mother of Chafin. Chaf- fin, it is said, entered the house and Martin turned on him with the inlten- tion of carrying his previous threat to kill himself, into execution. The young man drew 38-caliber revolver and fired. The ball entered Martins right breast, ranging downward. and passing through the kidneys.
 Chaffin was arrested and taken to Congress The injured man fingered until o'clock Sunday afternoon, when he died.
 A coroner's jury, irnpanelled to in vestigate the cause of the killing, com pletely eNonerated young Chafin on the grounds that he acted in selfe defense.

 He says that he Hives in West Vir- ginia where he owns a large ranch About a year ago he had some difficult ty with neighbor whom he killed. He will not, however, say what the cause was for the murder. He was indicted for Ehe crime, but owing to the solici- tations of friends he fled from the country, coming westward He ar rived here with a depleted eXchequer and among strangers. His crime preyed on his mind, for he realized that he would soon be penniless and his pride would not permit him to

EAGLES FOR BRYAN.
Two Noble Specimens Sent to the
 Candidate.

DENVER, Oct. 19.-At the Union depot this morning there was consider able excitement attendant upon the arrival of a couple of eagles consigned to William J. Bryan The eagles were fine specimens. Standing over Lhree feet in height, they were of a dark brown color, fading ito gray near the tips of their feathers. The talons, long, curved and yellow, beat viciously against the thick layer of sawdust at the bottom of their prison. One had fastened firmly ito his left leg a thick leather to which was attached an iron ring
 Very cautiously the cage was taken out of the car and placed on a truck. Surrounded by lthe depot policemen as a guard of honorI,ale cage was borne into the Denver & Rio Grande office, where raw beef was given the two kingly occupants. And then occurred an exhibition of wild rage and pain.
 The sides of the cage were of stout chicken wire, twice the ordinary size. The eagle with the ring upon his leg becoming frightened at the crowds
 
 at the wire, screaming with rage. His beak caught i'm the wire apertures and stuck obstinately, despite his endeav- OTIS to free it. The other eagle aggra- vated his companions misfortune by briskly raising his immense wings and bringing them down with hoarse cry on the imprisoned eagles body. The tortured bird sprang back with skir bruised and torn above the beak where it had encountered the wire. Witl blood dripping over the cage and stain ing his feathers, the noble denizen O. Telluride's cliffs prepared to repeat hi. exhibition of frenzy, when a canva. covering was thrown over The cag, and in the darkness he subsidized.
 On the cage was fastened a tin plat, on which was painted: For Hon. W J. Bryan, Prom the Business Men O Telluride. A card fastened to thi bore tlhe address Austin Humphrey Lincoln MT Humphrey will receiv the birds and deliver them in person t uhe Dem nocraIdic nominee.
