a free-silver platform and chose Horace
Boies to lead the States delegation to Chi
cago next July. s. s. Wright, gold-stan-
dard man, was temporary chairman. His
speech was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause, and when he mentioned the name
of General Weaver, the silver mems en-
thusiasm found vent in cheers, and his dec
laration that silver should be considered as
money at proportionate value with gold
called out prolonged cheers from the gold
standard people, while the silver men re-
mained silent except a mild protest from one
or two delegates. to which no attention was
paid. The speaker followed this line and
created immense enthusiasm among the anti
silver delegates. Boies's name brought the
convention to its feet and cheers continued
fully five minutes. An intimation Of Boies' s
alleged inconsistency was interrupted by
cries of ..Boes," "Boies," and cheers from
the gold men. Mr.. Cleveand's name also
was enthusiastically received.
f. NJ. Carr, Of Delaware county, was per-
manent chairman. His Introduction by the
temporary chairman. Mr.. Wright, brought
cheers from the convention. Nearly every
sentence OF Mr.. Carr's speech was applauded
and many Of its sentiments brought out ap-
proving cheers. Suddenly the name Of Hor-

The Holt Will Case.

WASHINGTON. Nay ao.-The legal battle
over the estate Of the late Judge Advocate
general Holt is now fairly on, and the de-
velopments already mark 1t as one OF the
most remarkable will cases ever tried in the
District of Columbia. Several more wit
nesses were produced in the effort to estab-
lish the Authenticity Of the alleged will. After
Rev. Dr.. J. @. Butler, OF this city, had
identified the writing as Judge Hollis, Rep
resentative Hit, of Illinois. took the stand.
He said he had known Judgs Holt for over
twenty years, and believed, though he was
not certain, that the document bore his
handwriting. Attorney Wilson, for the
heirs at law. asked the witness IL there were
any characteristics of Juage Holt in the
composition OF the alleged document. This
move brought out a strong protest from op-
posing counsel. They contended that that
testimony was not competent, and the 90
lection was sustained by Iidge Bradley, who
ruled that the question trenched too strong
ly on the territory of the jury. Mr.. Hit
then went on to testify that the late Judge
Advocates handwriting was variable, but
had certain characteristics which gave II
marked individuality. Other witnesses gave
similar testimony.
