COLUMBUS, o., June 3.-A conven-
ton of silver men was held this after
noon in the Y. NJ. G. A. auditorium
for the purpose of electing delegates
to the st. Louis silver convention next
month. There were not over twenty
delegates present. Gen. A. ]. War

movement for the independent silver

past forty. y.eight hours he had been in
conference with Senators Jones OF

ton that the issue must be fought out
this year. It would be divulging no
secret, Gen. Warner said, to state
whom they looked upon as the com.
ing candidate in the event of the Dem
ocrats failing to come out for free sil-
yer. This man is Senator Henry NJ.
Teller of Colorado. Mr.. Teller was
satisfactory to all of the silver men
whom he had talked. Delegates and
alternates at large to the st. Louis
convention were selected. The slim
attendance today was explained by
the fact of the strong probability that
the Democrats will declare for free
coinage at the coming State conven.

the Constitution by giving the Presi

Mr.. Pettigrew's speech characterized
the veto power as relic of the past
which had no place in a free govern

in severe terms, charging him with
an utter disregard of his sacred oath

Hunting for q Fiend.

The following story of fiendish as
sault is taken from Thursdays's issue
of the Lexington Dispatch:
1--WE have been informed by a rella-
BILE and responsible person that q 6end-
ish and brutal assault was made upon
the person of Mrs. Ben. Gunter, who
resides at the "Old Dave Kyzer place"
on the Augusta road near the place of
Mr.. George D. Hayes, on Monday af-
ternoon about 2 o'clock by strange
negro who had been seen by several
parties loafng about in the neighbor-
hood. Our informsn mt states that Mrs.
Gunter, with her husband and two
other persons, had been at work in a
field some distance from the house,
and, complaining Of being sick, was
told by her husband 10 60 home and
lie down. She started to do so, and
on her way home, in passing an old
log house, she saw negro man sitting
beside it playing with pistol. After
hailing her he caught herand scutfle
ensued. Whether he accomplished
his hellish purpose is not known as
the lady is very reticent about the mat
ter. As soon as it had become known
that the assault had been made the
neighbors Immediately organized and
started in pursuit of The fiend, but up
to the time our informant left, the
search has been without success. If
caught. q necktie party will probably
follow. during which he will dance in
the air at the end of plow line to the
tune of whistling bullets. He is de-
scribed as being black burly negro,
about 51-2 feet high, heavily built,
thick lips, weighs about 165 pounds,
had on q white shirt but no coat nor
vest, and a cigarette hat. The citizens
should be on the lookout for such a
negro answering to the above descrip-
ton and arrest him."

Oregon For Silver.

PORTLAND, Oregon, June lowing
to the exceedingly slow count it is
very difficult to forecast the result OF
today's election, but returns up to
this hour indicate that ex-Gov. Pen
noyer will be elected mayor OF Port
land. Congressman Ellis, Republican,
the free silver candidate, leads North
rup, sound money, by about 5000 in
the Second Congressional district. In
the First Congressional district, Van
derburg, free silver, Populist, holds a
plurality of 500 over Tongue, Repub-
Iican. Indications are that the free
silver candidates will triumph and
that Senator Mitchell will succeed
himself in the United States Senate.

CLEMSON, June 3 The regular an
nual inspection of the military de.
partment of Clemson College was held
on last Saturday by Major e. A. Carl
ington, inspector general. This In.
spection was one Of the series of in
spections of the military organizations
which are regularly made every year
by order of the war department.
The inspection, which was held in
fatigue uniform, consisted of first, a
review of the regiment, which was
commanded by Capt. Ezra B. Fuller;
the batallions being under the respect.
i've commands of Majors Blythe and
Shanklin. The review was followed
by a thorough inspection of the arms
and equipments of the cadets, and the
instruments of the cadet band.
The battalions were then drilled sep:
arately in the various movements of
the battalion drill, the battalions be-
ing afterwards broken up and the
companies separately drilled by their
respective captains. This completed
the field manoeuvres.
During the afternoon the Senior
class were examined by the inspector
general in theoretical military science.
This was followed with a signal drill
which consisted of an original mes
sage started by Major Darlington, and
sent through several squads OF boys,
the message being delivered perfectly.
This closed the inspection.
While, of couse, Major Darlington
expressed no opinion as to the etticien-
cy of this corps, it is quite certain that
he was favorably impressed and pleas
ed with the manoeuvres.
The cadets here are put at a dlsad-
vantage in these annual inspections
because they take place during the
first part of the scholastic year, while
at all the other colleges they occur
during the last half, most of these
colleges closing the year in June or
July, while Clemson College closes in
November.
Besides this large number of the
cadets are new, having entered the
College in February last, and having
drilled in ranks only few weeks, but
Notwithstanding these drawbacks the
inspection was highly satisfactory.
In order to remedy this trouble and
put Clemson on an equal footing with
the other military schools Capt. Full
er has requested Major Darlington to
get the the war department to change
the time for inspe ctlon. so as to con-
form to the school term.
Capt. Fuller has also succeeded in
getting an order from the war depart.
ment. for two breech.loading rifed
guns of 3 2-1O inches caIibre, and of
the latest pattern. They will be sent
as soon as the College makes the nec'
essary bond.
Major Gallington says this is the
largest corps of cadets that he has in
spected in his district, comprising
nine States, extending from Maryland
to Louisiana. The Mississippi College
comes next, with 21S cadets. Major
Darlington stayed with Capt. Fuller
while here. They are old friends,
having been at West Point together
twenty-three years ago, and having
served in the same regiment out in the
West.-News and Courier.
