Speaks vulumcwise, and the smile of her

To me is n song divine.

ILLINOIS sOUND-MONEYIrEs.
They Open Headquarters and De-
clare War Against silver.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Under the auspices
Of the Illinois honest-money Democrats,
national headquarters for that element
were opened IN ParlOr A OF the Yelling
ton Hotel this morning, with a meeting
in which Comptroller Eckels, ex-Congress-
men Gable and FQrman, ex-Mayor John
p. Hopkins, Franklin McVeigh, and repre-
sentative Democrats from about twenty
towns In the State took part. One OF the
participants referred 10 the gathering as
a council OF war, Governor Altgeld and
the Illinois delegation. In particular and
the silver people. in general, being the
subject OF attack.
All of those named and several others
made speeches. in which they insisted
that the honest-money element should as
sumo the aggressive instead OF contenting
itself with the defensive side. A mistake
had been made, IL was argued. In permit
ting the silver forces 10 have the field 10
themselves thus far. and every gold
standard Democrat was urged to get out
into the open and do what he could to-
ward stemming the tide Of the silver
metal. There was unanimity OF sentiment
that the claim of Governor Altgeld and
his delegation that they represented the
solid Democracy OF Illinois should be an
tagonized on the floor OF the convention,
and il was decided to refer 20 sub
committee the question as 10 how this
could best be accomplished. Other sub
committees were appointed to meet the
eastern honest-money people scheduled 70
arrive from the East this afternoon and
evening. and round them up for the con-
ference called for tonight.

How North Carolina stands.
washington Evening star)


ITO tell you the truth" said Colonel A.
NJ. Waddell TO the reporter Il don't be-
lieve the North Carolina men have de-
cided upon their choice yet. We are open
to conviction. The most OF us went 10 our
homes after the convention, and there
has been no conference among us. We
want the man. however, who can poll the
most votes. SO far as l have talked with
tho delegates and with the people there
seems TO be a stronger feeling for Boies
than for any other man."
Il hope there is no truth IN the report
that the North Carolina men are gong TO
yote for a candidate because his father
was born I'm that State?' spoke up Rep
resentative Jones, of Virginia, who was
present.
"Oh. you mean Stevenson responded
Colonel Waddell. "Well, we like the Vice
President very well, but he Will not get
vote Of the North Carolina delegation 1
agree with what l see quoted az saying
that II Stevenson had come out for silver
two months ago he would have had a
walkoyer for the Democratic nomination"
I'VE have a strong candidate for Vice
President" said Colonel Waddell, resum-
ing his talk with the reporter He Is
Judge Walter Clark OF the State SUI
preme Court our convention Instructed
for him by a rising vote, and we are going
TO push his nomination at Chicago for all
we are worth. He is a bright man and
prolific writer on the subject OF financial
affairs He is we'll known on the Pacific
coast"
What Is the extent OF the Teller sent-
ment In North Carolinag
I'VE think a great deal OF the sturdy,
honest westerner. but We are not I'm favor
OF nominating him while there are 50
many good Democrats who deserve the
nomination"
What DO you think will be done about
endorsing President Cleveland and his adj
mlnstration?
II don't know what will be. DONE but 1
know there will be n lot Of fun il the at
tempt is made TO have his administration
endorsed. The convention simply will not
give the endorsement"
Are the democrats going TO have a
close fight I North Carolina this YEAR,
Il do not Sink they will. We will pull
through all right. II looks like there will
be three tickets in the field. but the nomi-
nation OF silver man at Chicago will
bring thousands OF Populists back into the
party. / think we will win easily. Hun
dreds of silver Republicans viii also be
driven into the Democratic ranks"

GENTRY'S SENTENCE.

Counsel VIII Now Take an
Appeal to the state Supreme
Court.

PHILADELPHIA. PA. July 3-Judgo
Yerkes. In the Court Of oyer and Termi-
ner. to-day, heard argument for a new
trial in the case OF James Il. Gentry.
who was convicted on Saturday last OF
the murder of his fiancee. Margaret W.
Drysdale known on the stage as Madge
Yorke). The motion was overruled, and
Gentry was sentenced to be hanged.
After hearing all the argument Judge
Yerkes stated that he could see no good
reason for setting aside the verdict and
ordering a new trial. Gentry was then
commanded TO stand up. and the Judge
pronounced the solemn words condemning
him to death by hanging.
Gentry was SO weak that he could
scarcely stand, and looked to be on the
verge OF a total collapse. but he shed
no tears.
Gentry's counsel will now take an APP
peal to the State Supreme Court. As the
court has adjourned for the term, the
case cannot be argued before next Janu-
airy, at the earliest. In the event OF the
Supreme Courts refusing TO reverse the
sentence OF the lower court. an appeal
for lesser sentence will be made to the
Board OF Pardons.
From his debilitated and broken condi-
ton, 1t seems more than likely that
Gentry will die long before his case
reaches a conclusion in the courts.
