men, pulled and manipulated by
rival bosses, whose very presence
was an insult to intelligent COM
munities; while the press of the
state has reeked with charges OF
presidential boodling-all this
eliminating at the Austin conven-
tiOn in the most disgraceful pro-
ceedings ever witnessed in our
state. At last, the greed for power
and place and pelf has wrecked the
most corrupt, the most unscrupu-
lous political organization ever
known in the state.
They have gone to pieces, and
the decent men of the party can
now assemble and organize for the

Offairness, honesty and patriotism.
l use the word patriotism, because
| believe it to be the duty of every
self-respecting republican in Texas
to resent the treatment we are ac-
corded at national conventions, as
only there for Doodle. Let this be
the beginning of new and better
era in the annals of our party.
1t should be the object of the
convention at Houston and the dis
trict conventions to send delega-
ton to st. Louis composed of our
most representative and infiuen-
tial citizens, men who are opposed
to the methods that prevailed at
Austin and throughout the state.
Men who will not have to be paid
to attend the national convention.
The disrupted organization at
Austin is incapable of further use
fulness in the future, and in the
light of experience, Of reason, in
the name of manhood and decency,
should not be permitted to longer
exist, or receive the recognition of
any good citizen.
Let republicans who are willing
to come to the rescue-whO are
tired of the miserable bossism that
has dominated them-call meet
ings in their respective localities
and send delegates to the district
ana STATE conventions.
The state convention will as
semble at the city of Houston on
the Goth of April, 1896. The rail-
road rates will be one rate for the
round trip, half fare. 1t is impor-
tant that each county be repre-
sented. We want the most infiu-
entail citizens, regardless of their
individual preference for president
or their individual interests as
otfice-seekers. Party organization

ticularly solicit the names and adj

SILVER PLATFORM.
No Question About Financial rank
1t is the Rest that worries.

Chicago. H., July Notwithstanding
the convention is still four days OH, there
are almost continuous conferences among
those who expect to be called upon to
make the platform when 1t Is made.
They consist largely of the free silver
leaders. who are located at the Sher-
man house. Their plans, VIII looK TO
preparing a document when, "nlle II
viii cover various other questions of
Democratic faith. will give the place of
prominence to the financial declaration.
II is now expected that the platform
will he a silver nronunciamento setting
forth the free coinage docsilIe III the
form of a ringing address Whlch VIII
appeal to the support OF all silver adVoc
Gates of whatever party. 1ne slst OF
the plank will, however pe an ana un 'eq
vocal declaration for the free ana unilm,
tied coinage of silver at the ratlo OF 10
to | without awaiting the action OF any
other nation. :,
The tariff plank is really giving the
silver majority more concern than the
financial declaration. They consider TINS
a very delicate matter. The SILVER ques-
ton is recognized by all as the para
mount issue. but the Democracy has
heen so persistent in its declaration on
the tariff and the Republicans made 1T
so prominent in their platform that they
realize the impossibility of ignoring it.
This they would gladly do II they could
that declaration leaning TOO pro
nouncedly towards free trade would
have upon the Republican silver men and
Populists, whose votes they nope to Sc
cure with a free silver candidate. So
far rs there has been an exchange of
opinion the tendency is decidedly to-
wards a very brief and not very pro-
EOuOca1 0pcl1 tjOn on this DOlEt.
The leaders feel that the financial ques-
ton is one requiring a declaration of
principle, but that the tariff is proper
subject to play politics upon. They will
probably announce adherence to Demo-
cratic traditions on this subject, though
in very general terms and announce the
belief that with the mintage of silver
the present tariff will produce sufficient
revenue for the needs of the government.
There may be declaration for a more
equitable adjustment than that con-
tanned in the present law with the hope
of reconciling the wool and lumber men
of the West. The plank may even con-
tain an implied reconcilement to protec-
ton in words indicating that any tariff,
even though for revenue only, is a pro-
lection to labor.
Judge Powers of the Utah delegation
has submitted from that delegation the
following draft of tariff plank:
We favor the imposition Of duties to meet
the demands of the government for the reve-
nue., such duties to be so adjusted as to op-
crate equally throughout the country and
not to discriminate against classes or Sec
tons. ii
Judge Powers expresses the opinion
that declaration of this character would
be satisfactory to the West and also that
it would meet~s,.l the demands of the sit
uationsa III of Democratic faith. 1t was
taken substantially from 4; report made
1lyor nd thn
principles on which the Walker tariff
was based.

IT NAY BE LIVELY.
Executive Committee Decides to
Proceed in the Ordinary
Manner

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2.-The executive
committee Of the national Democratic
committee have decided to recommend
to the full committee that they proceed
in the usual way to designate man
for temporary chairman of the national
convention.
It is not yet determined whether the
executive committee will assume the re-
sponsibility of naming the man for this
place and that matter is still under con-
sideration.
The decision to recommend this course
has been arrived at not in defiance of
the request of the silver men. but, it is
claimed because it is in accordance with
the precedents in the party. Still there
are evidences that the members of the
committee resent the demand of the sill
verites as without warrant, and it is
believed that they have reached the
point where they prefer to take the
chances of an open fight in the convention
to submitting tamely to what they look
upon as an unjustifed effort at dicta-
ton. There is no doubt that if the
full national committee accepts the rec
ommendation it will result in the precipi-
tation of a lively skirmish on the floor

Berlin, July 2.-The Reichstag today

that the new uniform system of law

of the convention on the threshold of it's
proceedings.
The silver men are quite determined
on this point and will show no disposition
to yield unless a pronounced and we'll
known silver man should be named by
the national committee, which there is
no reason to believe will be the case.
If gold man is selected the silver mi
nority of the committee will bring in a
report recommending a silver man and
the first contest between the gold and the
silver forces will be fought out then and
there.
1t has been intimated that in case af-
fairs reach this stage, Chairman Harrity
of the national committee will refuse to
order a roll-call and will arbitrarily seat
the gold candidate. Mr.: Harrity,s
friends say. however, that he will nv
sue no course that is not in accord With
precedents and with his ideas OF fairness
to all. The silver men ref.4se to believe
that he would pursue such a course, but
shake their heads ominously when asked
what would result in case he should:
The gold men on the national commit
tea are not united upon a man for pre-
siding officer. but they discuss names
more freely than do the silverites, men
tioning those of Senators Hill, Villas and
of Hugh Wallace, member of the nation
al committee from the state Of Washing
ton and son-in-law of Chief Justice Full
Ter OF the UnlIeQ states supreme court.
There is liable to be division among
the gold forces of the committee with
the administration gold men constituting
one faction and the anti-administration
gold men the other faction. Senator
Hill stands for the latter wing and Sen
ator Villas and Nh. Wallace for the
former 1t is claimed that Senator Villas
is not anxious for the place and there is
a tendency of the administration men
to unite upon Mr.. Wallace. It is be-
lieved thatehe would be willing to accept
the honor of the nomination, taking his
chances in the convention in Il contest
with the silver nominee.
The administration men are largely
superior in numbers to the gold men and
it is claimed even have majority of the
committee against both the silver men
and the anti-administration sold men.
There is, however, belief among mem
bers of the committee that Senator Hill
might prove acceptable to the silver peo-
pie and in case they should signify d
willingness to accept him he might be
named as compromise candidate by
the committee.

spects was made in the Yale boat today.
The English oars have been tried and
found not adapted to the Yale men. AS.
a result they have been discarded and
American oars will carry the sons of
old Eli to victory or defeat.
Bob Cook this morning was out on
horseback and put the Yale men over the
second half of the course in 1926 with a
thirty-eight stroke. This is the best time
vet made and it has done much to give
confidence to the Americans and their
admirers.
Clarke, the American coxswain, was:
well enough to be in the Yale boat and
handled the rudder ropes admirably in
spite of the fact that he was all muffied
up.
Leander did the course in 7:1O. cover
ing the first half in 81 with IL 38 stroke
but the members of the crew were ex-
hausted at the finish. Trinity, rowing
short stretches against the second crew
of that college and with the latter very
close, did the course in 1923.

of tone day" convention may be car
ried into effect w. H. Hinrichsen.
chairman of the Illinois state central
committee and delega t-large, says
there is a strong sentiment among the
free silver delegates now in the city ia
voring such a caucus.
"But even should there be no caucus"
he continued, 81 have an idea that the
work of the convention can be wound up
in single day. AS I figure it out, the
silver candidates for the nomination for
President will be Bland, Boies, Black
burn. Matthews and Mclean. OF these
l rather incline to the belief that Boies
and Bland will get the bulk of the votes
and that whoever has the greatest num-
Der of votes on the first ballot will be
nominated on the second.
LAS to the gold men, I do not think
we have anything to fear of them. AS
soon as they get here and circulate
among the delegates they will have polit-
ical sagacity enough to see they are
in hopeless minority and that to make
a fight would be but butting their heads
against s. brick wall with an idea of
battering it down. The majority of the
Democrats of the country are for free
silver and it has always been the policy
of the Democrats to allow the majority
to rule"
To Mr.. Hinrichsen's notion, G. S.
Thomas, national committeeman from
Colorado and chairman of the delega-
ton from that state, stands a good show
of being elected temporary chairman n.

RESENT INTERFERENCE.
Silver Men Say Whitney Has No Right to
Interfere.

1ntor1eres
Chicago. ILL.,. July 2.-Some of the sill
yer men manifest a disposition to resent
the announced intention of the gold ad-
vocates who are not delegates to the con-
vention to come to Chicago with the
doomed intention of influencing the
course of proceedings. This feeling was
voiced by SenatorElect Money of Mis-
sissippi, who said: lit is an unheard-
of proceeding for men like Mr.. Whitney
and Mr. Eckels, who have no credentials
to national convention, to attend it
with the view of influencing the action
of delegates on question of principle.
1t is of course usual for the friends of
candidates to exert their influence upon
delegates who believe as they do, but
for men to come here as these men do to
change the views of delegates who are
instructed on line of policy is either
q piece of arrogance or a piece of folly,
just as you choose to regard it. l say
to them that either one of the two con-
structions is to be put upon their con-
duct. They either propose to buy men
outright or they want to otherwise in
fIuence delegates to break faith with
their constituents. Either policy will be
resented and / predict that the gold adj
vocates who come to the convention
without excuse other than exerting their
influence on duly-elected delegates will
meet with very cool reception. The
convention will be silver from the core
and the gold influence cannot be used
to change it's character.
