candidates were nominated by acclama-
ton. There was no strife; there were
no acrimonious speeches save those
directed against the enemy.
Altgeld Forced to Accept.
There was no opposition to Altgeld
for governor. A few moments before
the honor was thrust upon him he de-
clared that he did not want it. He said
so at the conclusion of one of the most
impressive speeches ever made before a
Democratic convention. He said that
he was physically unable to lead the
fight and his financial affairs were In
bad shape and needed his attention.
No sooner had he mentioned his desire
to retire from public life than there
came an impassioned shout Of disap-
prevail, not only from the delegates but
from thousands of people who were
crowded in the hall. He was then re-
nominated by a rising vote.
Unanimous for Silver.
The convention, as had been predict.
ed, came out strongly for silver and so
instructed its delegates at large to the
national convention. The platform
was almost Numerically opposite in all
its parts to that of the Republican party
and the 1905 delegates voted unani-
mously for it's adoption. The financial
plank says:
We favor the soundest and safest money
known to man and as experience has
shown that this consists of both gold and
silver, with equal rights Of coinage and
full legal tender power, we demand the
repeal of that Republican and plutocratic
legislation which demonetized silver and
reduced it to the basis of token money,
destroying by one-half the stock of real
money and by doubling the work to be
done by gold
Doubled Its Purchasing Power
80 that the farmers and producers had to
give twice as much work to get dollar as
they formerly had, and found 1t hard to
meet debts, interest, taxes and fixed
charges which were not lowered. By thus
taking out of the commercial world one
half of it's blood industry and trade have
been paralyzed and idleness and misery
have been spread over the civilized world
With the richest natural resources, with a
most industrious, frugal and enterprising
population, and with the most abundant
harvests, our people are in distress.
The platform also favors tariff for
revenue only; condemns the use Of the
injunction by federal judges and de-
nounces the arbitrary interference of
the federal government in local affairs.
The delegates at large are: John P.
Altgeld, S. P. Mcconnell, w. H Hin
richsen and George w. Fithian.

MCKINLEY AND SOUND MONEY.
The St. Louis convention registered
the will of the masses of the people of
this great nation. The nomination Of
William Mckinley was their act-not
that of the leaders or the bosses-but it
was the submission of great represen-
tative body to the demands of the peo-
pie. There was no disposition on the
part OF thevast majority of the delegates
to thwart the well-recognized choice OF
the great rank and file-it would have
been perilous to have attempted it. 1t
was an anti-bassic expression, and the
result will take care of itsslf.
Mr.. Mckinley is the embodiment OF
what the people are eager and clamor-
Gus for--the return OF prosperity which
fed with the defeat of the principle with
which his name is inextricably inter
woven.
The ticket complete-McKinley and
Hobart-commends itself to all classes
aAiAS. uSt Will OS
The vice-president is from New Jersey
man of the people who has, by his in
tegrity and energy forged his way,to the
forefront in business and political comb
dence.
The platform is broad, comprehensive
and honest. It's financial plank is for
the existing gold standard-deprecating
the calamity breeding heresv Of free
coinage. 1t is thoroughly and essential

commend itself to every intelligent and
fair minded American voters.

at the time, but will take abund-
ant occasion to do so.

The daily Herald of Wednesday gives
the Melrose club mild roast on the
game played with Browerviile on Tues
day. The fact of the matter is that
Sank Centre has 1t in for Melrose, and
would like to see them done up. The
game on Tuesday was the best and
most orderly game ever played in that
city, and both CLUBS deserve great credit,
for they all behaved like gentlemen and
pnt up nice clean game. The Herald
says: Another prominent feature was
the umpiring OF Mr.. Fish, whose decis-
ions, always fair, were given with a
frmness which soon DISCOURAGED that
propensity for kicking which the Mel
rose boys exhibited at two or three
stages OF the game. On the other hand,
the Browerville team won the sympathy
OF the crowd by never demurring at d
decision. This latter team is strictly a
local club, while Melrose had at least
two imported" players" Now, there
was not "kiek" made during the whole
game on either side. AS for imported
players" Melrose did not have an "im-
ported" player in the nine. The boys all
live III Melrose, and intend to stay here,
the pitcher, Mr.. Morrow, is a brakeman
on the Great Northern and lives in Mel
rose, and he did not come here to play
ball, but to work, and he is not paid tor
playing with the nine any more than
any other member of the club. The
catcher, lake Lemm, teaches school a
few miles from Melrose, and has PLAYED
with the Melrose nine for the past 6v
years.
IfMelrose was as dead as Sank Centre
they might have to import" men to
make MP nine who could play ball;
but it is not, and has material tor tour
or five ball teams who could play good
ball.
Stop kicking and give the boys credit
tor putting up one OF the best games OF
ball YOU ever saw in your town.-Mel
rose Beacon.
The HERALD can't imagine why the
Editor of the Beacon, should make the
statement, that Sank Centre has it in
for Melrose, when he knows he has no
grounds for it. His own paper located
in Melrose has been literally supported
by Sank Centre merchants, who feel
that he is not justified in making any
such statement, or IN calling Sank Cen
tire dead, unless the Beacon is anxious
to create that kind of a feeling. As to
that ball game, Melrose did no more
kicking than is usually INDUCED in at a
ball game, but the Browerville bows not
doing any at all could not help but
attract attention and sympathy. The
HERALD, did and does now give the two
clubs credit for putting up the best
game ever played in Sank Centre or
Melrose either, and is kicking against
nothing unless it is against the Peacon's
misstatements and insult to Sank Cen

The suspense about Chas. A. Towne's
position on free silver and a renonlina-
ton is relieved. He is still silver bug,
and proposes to remain so, whether he
gets the nomination or not. He is for
silver, the district for sound money, If
either changes it must be the district.
The question for the St. Cloud conven-
tion to settle is whether it is better to
send a sound money man to congress
who will represent the people on the
most important issue OF the day, or join
the Populists and Democrats in an a t
tempt to drive the country to silver
basis by electlng the most influential
and dangerous free silver man in the

They did not subsequently bow down

Only six of them obeyed Hanna's edie
to support Hobart for vice president,

there was no particular opportunity to

No Arbor Day Exercises.

No regular exercises for Arbor Day
will be observed by the public schools
on April 10th, though some of the se-
lections will be of that nature. The fact
is the school grounds are now pretty well
cared for in the way Of tree planting,
with the single exception of the east hill
primary, where there are no city water
mains. At this school locust trees were
planted last spring jandN they died. It
has been thought wiser tore plant them
in the fall. The other school grounds
have thriving tees growing, and are
being regularly trimmed, cultivated and
otherwise cared for.
/Prof. Gavin, speaking this morning to
"a reporter of THE CHRONICLE, considers
it no misfortune that the locust trees
died, and does not believe they should
be replanted. They are thorny and
sprigs break off bearing thorns which
strew the ground, and causes the bare
foot boy, with cheek of tan, considerable
physical and mental distress. Other
disagreeable features of the tree are the
shedding of its seed, and its habit of
sprouting up from the root many feet
away from the tree. N
