Assistant Secretary Hamlin's Statement

Assistant Secretary Hamlin's Statement
Believed to He Semi fiicial.
|, WASHINGTON, July 15.-The Evening
Star says: Assistant Secretary Hamlin
of the treasury department gave out a
short statement during the afternoon,
in explanation Of his position with re-
gard to the Democratic platform and
nominations. Inasmuch as Mr.. HAM
lin represented the administration
forces at the Chicago convention, and
has been in frequent consultation with
Secretary Carlisle over the political sit
uation since the adjournment of the
convention, the statement made by him
will undoubtedly be accepted by many
as semi-official declaration Of the po-
sition of the sound money men Of the
administration. This impression is
further strengthened by the belief that
Mr.. Hanlin has seen President Clevo-
land since the adjournment of the COIL
vention. He spent several days at
Marion, near Gray Gables, OH his way
Washington from Chicago. The state
ment referred to is as follows:
Mr.. Hamlin's Views.
mo political issue is involved in the
coming election. The question to be
decided is far deeper and more vital.
The perpetuity Of Republican institu-
tions has been threatened. Every loyal
citizen should ally himself against the
forces which controlled the Chicago
convention, forces of lawlessness which
are inconsistent with the maintenance
of the republic. Henceforth there
should be no Republican, no Democrat,
but union Of loyal citizens against the
combined forces of reputation and dis
order. When once this dangerous ele-
ment has been stamped out at the polls
by an indignant people we can again
divide and discuss those political ques-
tions which for generations have kept
alive the two great political parties"

Politicians Gathering for the
PopuIist-Free Silver Meet
ing at ST. Louis.
Prediction Made That in Point
of Numbers 1t Will Be
Ill.,. f.. a Monster.
Teller Favors Endorsing Bryan,
but Another Ticket May
Be Named.

ST.. LOUIS, July 15.-The rush of poll.
aticians to attend the Populist and Ma.
tional Silver conventions has not yet set
iii, although few of the leaders have
arrived. Chairman Taubeneck and
Sergeant.at.Arms Mcdowell of the Pop.
ulist national committee predict one Of
the largest crowds that ever attended q
convention.
"There will be 1850 delegates" said
Chairman Taubeneck, Representing
over 100000 voters. We have every
reason to believe that in point of num-
bers attending it will far outrank the
Republican convention. We shall meet
in the same building, which will afford
an opportunity to observe the strong
points Of difference.
The Chief Contention.
AS the Populists begin to gather it is
evident that there will be two PROPOSE
tions made which will form the chief
contention of the convention. One is
that the Populists shall abandon any
idea of separate and distinct national
ticket end endorse outright the candi-
dates and the platform of the Chicago
convention. This proposition will be
supported by the friends Of Senator
Henry M. Teller, nearly all the Popu-
list members of the United States SEN
ate, and the Peoples party leaders in
many Of the Western states. The West,
the Southwest and the Northwest are
nearly solid for propositions to endorse
Mr.. Bryan and put up no other ticket.
The Southern Plan.
From the South come delegates and
party leaders who are not delegates to
the convention, urging another propo-
position-to put presidential ticket in
the field, adopt a platform, run presi-
Dental electors in all the states where
the Peoples party has an organization,
and then when the time comes to cast
the vote in the electoral college, let the
Popuists and Democrats combine on
the strongest man, whether that be
Bryan or the Populist nominee. Wig
orous objection is urged against this on
the ground that it would be dangerous
to the common cause Of free silver.
The convention of the National Silver
party. which convenes in this city July
20 at the Exposition building, will vie
in numbers with that of the POpulists,
which meets the same day. "

Women and Watches.

In somO half humorous paragraphs
which yet have several grains of good
hard sense in them Charles Dudley
Warner shows us III Hurpcrs Magazine
how tho care of her watch is the test Of
woman's intellectual and business abili-
ty. Mr.. Warner thinks average women
are not Oh friendly terms with their time
pieces. A watch comes ut length to DO
u part of it's owner and wearcr. 1t times
itself to changes of temperature. and
even finally to the temperament Of its
wcarcr. Consequently women g watches
are apt to run jorkily and fitfully, never
exact, now running away with time,
now stopping obstinatcly and refusing
to go ut all.
1t is only the emancipated woman
who keeps hor watch going regularly
and in step with tho exact time. A man
loves his watch takes pride in its exact
ness and aithfulncss and holds it up as
model. 1t is US much to him as L.
faithful dog or horse When n woman
has this feeling Of pride and affection
for her watch, when she keeps it wound
up and regulated properly month after
month, year after year, Mr.. Warner is
inclined to think that woman "has the
qualities necessary for success in what
are still called masculine occupations. "
And indeed he may be right. We COM
mend this view Of the matter to the La
dies.
