SILVER SENTIMENT.
1t Is Paramount in PennsyIvania's
State Capital.

HARRISBURG, Pa. September o.
The silver sentiment is paramount in
the state capital tonight, on the eve
of the reconvened Democratic state
convention. OF four hundred and fifty
odd delegates, the gold leaders thus
far only lay claim to 81, and there is
an overwhelming majority against
them. They viii probably attempt to
enforce their claims for recognition in
the organization. The question at is
sue, whether the officers of the original
state convention at Allentown, April
29, should act in their capacities at the
reconvened gathering, was decided
adversely tonight by the state execu-
tive committee. and as a consequence
the convention tomorrow will have all
the elements OF an entirely new body.
There is an absence of enthusiasm to-
night and the customary ante-conven-
ton crowds are not in evidence, al
though it is stated that every county
in the state will be represented at the
convention

Texas Republicans.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. O.
When the state Republican convention
assembled this morning, so many Dem
ocrats were in the hall and creating dis
turbance that the sergeant-at-arms was
obliged to clear the hall before the
tumult was quelled. C. NJ. Ferguson
and N. w. Quincy were nominated for
temporary chairman, and great excite
ment continued during roll cali. Fer
guson was elected by a decisive ma
jority. Up to this evening, no other
business had been transacted, as the
convention was waiting for the COM
mittee to reach terms.
A resolution endorsing the Popuist
state ticket is to be passed; the reform
or Lily White" wing is to join the reg
ulars, and the fusion electoral ticket is
to be eight Republicans. four Populists
and three gold Democrats.

POUGHKEEPSIE N. Y, Sept. o.
The article which appeared in the New
York Herald this morning, announcing
the retirement of James G. Hinc11ey
from the craftsmanship of the Demo
cratic state committee, was shown 10
Mr.. Hinckley this afternoon, and he
acknowledged its correctness.
Referring to the same, the Eagle will
tomorrow say editorially:
There is doubtless more or less fric-
ton among the Democratic managers in
this state over the question what course
shall be taken at Buffalo, and the in
dications are that both Senator Hill
and Major Hinckley would turn the
party to the support of Palmer and
Buckner, instead OF Bryan and SewalL
if they could. At any rate, the tide IS
running, if the convention were two
weeks later it might have been
possible to accomplish this; but at this
time Senator Murphy and Tammany
hall are in favor OF the regular can
didates' and they will control

DIES MONIES, Sept. 9.-The Demo-
cratic state central committee met here
today to fill the vacancy on the fusion

Mr.. Foley to make the run. He was
telegraphed for an answer tonight, but
was not at home. The committee adj

canvass Of the state, and Chairman
Manley has given q summary of the
result to representative of the United

AN OLD BANK FAILS.
1t Had Always Been Prosperous and
Sound Up to a short Time Ago.

Sound Up to a short Time Ago.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. s.-The
Union National bank, which was
founded in 1889, and one of the oldest
banks in the city, closed its doors to-
day. 1t had always been prosperous
and paying institution, until some
time ago it became known in business
circles that It was not thoroughly
sound. This shakiness dates back to
the big failure of V. & N. Meyer, cotton
and general merchants. The bank
was badly crippled by their failure
and has never recovered. It's depositors
were principally cotton men, insurance
and other corporations. 1t was almost
strictly q commercial paper handler,
and made demand loans on ordinary
unsecured paper to the last. This
money generally went to the country
to buy cotton. Since the failure of the
American National, the distrust caused
by that event has accumulated matters
for the Union, and the associated
banks Of the clearing house decided
TO lend assistance, especially because
Of the excitement that then existed.
They got out and gave the depositors
generally a chance to protect them
selves. A quiet run has been made by
drawing checks through other banks,
and these went through the clearing
house. The suspension was inevitable
and was foreseen by the other banks
ten days ago.
The report telegraphed from Wash
ington about a dedication in connec-
ton with the failure cannot be sub
Stimulated. A representative of the
United Associated Presses sent q note
to President Chaleron, informing him
of the report, and asking that it be af-
firmed or denied. The note was turned
over TO Bank Examiner Johnson and
that gentleman informed the reporter
that he had nothing to say, as he was
only temporarily in charge of the
bank The effect Of the failure on
general business is rather depressing
and other failures may follow shortly

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The follow

Daniel S. Lamont, secretary Of war, to
Mr. Bynum. explains thoroughly Colo
mel Lamont's position on the political
issues now pending:
Washington, D. c., Sept 8, 1896.
Hon. William D. Bynum, Chairman,
ETC.:
II regret that I am unable to accept
the invitation of your committee to be
present at the notification of Senator
John NJ. Palmer and Governor Simon
B. Buckner, of their nomination by
the National Democratic party for
president and vice-president Of the
United States.
The outcome of the Indianapolis
convention in candidates and platform
is inspiring to every Democrat who
refuses to abandon the principles esta b.
lished by the fathers and steadfastly
maintained with pride and honor, and
who declines to adopt the new and
strange creed proclaimed in a moment
Of delirium a Chicago and promptly
recognized and ratified as it's own by
the Populist party at st. Louis.
Il prefer to keep the old faith and
remain a Democrat, and shall accord
ingly cast my vote for Palmer and
Buckner. DANIEL S. LAMONT"

Dear Sir: AS no pronounced sound

for congress, it has been suggested
that you, whose safe and conserv alive
views on this, the great issue now be-
fore the people are well known and
which would ensure your election,
might be willing to accept the nomina-
ton from the Republican convention
and stand on substantially the plat
form adopted by the Republican ma
tional convention.
L am aware that you have no new
laurels to gain by an election TO con-
gress; but the situation is peculiar and
must be met in a patriotic spirit in
view Of the great pressure that is
brought to send to congress men whose
views on finance are crude and fan
lastic, at a time when the prosperity
OF the country demands the sort of
legislation that you are known to
favor. The district in question is
Democratic. Ii the RepQLo1 scan:s fal

your acceptance of the nomination as
above would insure a congressional

character and ability any district
might well be proud.
