The tramp is in trouble. He

enough to eat when he was hung

his master could get nothing but
abuse This dog arrived in Du-
puycr and although a stranger,
like his master, he forced an ac-
ouaintance with the natives Of the
town and soon learned the local
gossip. He found that there was
one cur who walked on two legs like
man that the town.dogs despised
He sncaked around at night in By
ways and alleys and was known t.

The situation with regard to Gu
ban affairs have assumed a serious
aspect. Whether or not Mr..
Cleveland is acting as the true
representative of the American
people in his attitude toward a
nation with which we have no per-
sonal quarrel is open to general
criticism. We should carefully
weigh the consequences before we
permitted our country to enter so
many foreign complications at the
dictation of a few jingoists. who
would willingly sacrifice the life
OF the nation for political prefer
ment. We should remember, as a
great Russian statesman once said,
that war is bloody court of last
resort, and is. rank failure in
establishing precedent. 1t is a
Judgment written in blood. We
should also remem Der that this
highly honored official, when his
country called for his assistance,
refused, and consistently with
all his other acts, senta substit
to fight the battles of his country.
We cannot fail to sympathize with
the Cuban patriots and are, inter
ested in Venezuelan matters ano
every Christian heart beats ir
sympathy with the A 'menians; but
are we, who always Dragged aoout
our interference in foreign
affairs, and our enlarged and pro-
gressive ideas with regard to tht
peaceful solution of all information
al matters, to be the first tt
threaten war. Charles Sumner
when the war cloud was hoverins
in the horizon, advocated an inter
national congress for the SCI tle
ment of all international difficultie
was laughed at and his measure dix
not receive respectful considera
tion, but to day his remarks ar
included in all standard works re
lating to international couret'y.an'
obligations. Abraham Lincoln, il
184S, said standing army was
menace and a curse. Therefore
let US as people talk less of wa
and more of those pursuits, scienc
art and agriculture, which hav
placed us among the most advance
nations of the earth.

IT WAS GARRETT A. HOBART ALL THE TIME
Chairman Thurston's Slip of the Tongue in Evidence-Mr. Depew Spoiled His Say for Morton-Vivid Descrip-
 tion of the Scene.

St. Louis, June 18.--(Special 1.-The slate went through. It is Mckinley, Ho- bart and gold Tonight the republican leaders are shouting and outwardly hap py, but at the same time the disaffection of the silver men is worrying them very much. They profess to feel happy over the loss of such men as Teller, Cleveland and Cannon, but nevertheless they know that the silver bolt means the certain loss of the electoral votes of Colorado. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and possibly South Dakota California, Ore gon and Washington. Nor do they see much hope of gains to offset the loss.
 The free silver war which started in the Mississippi valley a few weeks ago has spread eastward to the Atlantic and New York is affected by it. While the Mckinley managers talk boldly of the great victory that awaits them in November, they are at heart fearful of the same silver craze," and those among them who are not blinded by success and made drunk by victory de- clare privately that they have the hard est possible row to hoe if success is to be achieved.
 All of the Alabama people who have been in attendance upon the convention leave for home tomorrow morning. There is no paper in the south that has been kept better posted upon the proceedings of the convention than the State Herald, and the Alabama delegates have dis covered this through the telegrams re- ceived by them referring to these dis patches.
 Johnston, the delegates say, has a walk over for the gubernatorial election.

MINORITY MONEY PLANK
Presented by Senator Teller, Who Makes
 Speech in Its Behalf.

Presented by Senator Teller, Who Makes Q
 Speech in Its Behalf.
 Then the chair, amid the breathless at- tention of the convention recognized Senator Teller who sent to the secreta- rvs desk and had read the following mi- nority report:
 We, the undersigned members of the committee on resolutions, being unable to agree with that portion of the majority report which treats of the subjects of coinage and finance, respectfully submit the following paragraph as substitute therefor:
 'The republican party favors the use or both gold and silver as equal standard money and pledges its power to secure the free, unrestricted and independent coinage of gold and silver at our hints at the ratio of Is parts of silver to of gold
 MT. Teller then advanced to the front and in earnest tones addressed the con- yention in explanation of his course.
 MT. Foraker, chairman of the commit tee on resolutions, moved to lay Tellers substitute on the table.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts sec- orded the motion. Fhe yeas and nays were demanded by the states of Colorado Montana and Idaho and the vote was ta- ken.
 The calling of the roll was greeted with applause when, on poll of states being demanded, some well known delegate recorded his vote. This was particularly the case when U. s. Grant, in the Califor- mia delegation. followed by L. A. Shel- don (Garfield's chum) and J. D. Spreckles, voted in favor of silver by recording a negative on the motion to lay MT. Tellers substitute on the table.

CUT AND DRIED.
Mckinley Managers Showed Their Hands
 After Their Mans Nomination.

 After Their Mans Nomination.
 St. Louis, June 1S.-After ten hours session in torrid heat and distressing noise the eleventh national republican convention nominated a ticket preor- dained from the first by the Ohio political managers, who practically controlled the gathering and named William Mckinley of Ohio and Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey for president and vice president respectively of the United States.
 No effort was put forth to carry out the much talked of purpose of conferring the second place on Levi P. Morton. MT. Hobart went through on the first ballot, with many votes to spare, just as soon as the word was passed around after Mckinley had been safely landed that Mr. McKinley's friends desired the elec- tion of Mr. Hobart.
 The chief supporters of the four un- successful candidates for the presidency Senator Lodge for Reed, Representa- tive Hepburn for Allison, Governor Has, tings for Quay and MT. Depew for Mor- ton-came out in ringing little speeches moving to make McKinley's nomination unanimous and pledging him the loyal support of their respective states. When to these assurances MT. Platt added his personal promise of friendly cooperation the cup of happiness of the Mckinley men was full.
 MT. Depew was at his best in moving to make McKinley's nomination unan- imous. He happily said that he was now nominating winner. It was quite evil dent he did not feel in the same frame of mind when he placed MT. Morton in nomination, for he, most unusually for him, spoiled one of his best points. When leading up to what it was supposed would evoke burst of applause for Blaine, he inadvertently substituted the name of James A. Garfield for James G. Blaine, and was ignominiously corrected by the bystanders.
 An amusing little slip was perpetrated by the permanent chairman, Senator Thurston, who, by the way, made most excellent presiding officer. The incident clearly showed the way his mind was running. When nominations for vice. president were called for and Judge Fort took the stand the chairman introduced him as MT. Hobart of New Jersey 0he man whom the McKinleyites had de- termined to elect When the laughter this blunder occasioned called his atten- tion to it he passed it off by saying: MT. Hobart of New Jersey will now be nomi- mated by Judge Fort
 Whatever enthusiasm was lacking in the early days of the convention was supplied when the nomina tions were made. A more boisterous scene of yelling, plume and banner waving and other manifestations of ecstacy has seldom been heard or seen than that which for nearly half an hour occupied the conven- ton after the nomination of William Me- kinley.
 The silver bolt was largely discounted and it's effect was to great extent neutralized by the speeches which Sena- tors Mantle of Montana, Brown of Utah and others made, declaring their allegiance to the republican party, not withstanding their disappointment on the silver plank.

MANTLE STAYED BEHIND.

Reserves the Right to Accept or Reject
 Platform and Candidates.
 The chairman, when the tumult had In some measure subsided, said in his slow, deliberate way:
 "Gentlemen of the convention, there seems to be enough delegates left to do business. (Great cheering) The chair now asks that the gentleman from Mon tana who did not go out"-here an out burst of cheering drowned the rest of the sentence and cries were made TOT Lee Mantle. He was asked to come to the platform, but declined to do so.
 Senator Mantle stood on his chair in the rear of the hall, facing the chairman, and spoke as follows
 .'I desire to say that majority of the delegation from the state of Montana has not felt that under all the circum- stances surrounding this occasion they were justified in actually going out of the convention. But, MT. Chairman, l am bound to say, in difference to the opin- ions and wishes of the majority of the republicans of the state of Montana, that we cannot give our approval to an in- dorsement of the financial plank this day adopted. (Applause.)
 q have never cast my vote for any ticket but republican one, and do not propose to do it now. But, MT. Chair
  publicans of our state and we would be false to ourselves and false to them if we did not state their position and their objections at this time. In the name and Ion behalf Of the republicans of Montana I protest earnestly, solemnly and em- phatically against the financial plank of the platform adopted this day. We can not accept it; we cannot indorse it; we cannot support it at this time. But there is difference of opinion In this dec1ara- tion. There are those who are satisfied to utter their protest and still participate in the proceedings of the convention. (Applause.) There are others who feel that in declining to support this great controlling issue they are in honor bound not to participate in the placing of can didate on a platform which they cannot at this time indorse. But whatever the action of the delegation may be, I want to say that we reserve the right to the republicans of the state of Montana to accept or to reject at such time and in such manner as they may determine the platform and the candidates put before them by this convention"

 president to announce the opening the time passed pleasantly enough in listen ing to the strains of the band stationed above and behind the platform, the pleasure being somewhat dashed by a rather dolorous ditty in praise of pro- lection sung by a quartette of male voices.
 At l0:S0 Chairman Thurston announced that the divine blessing would be in- voked by Rev. John Scott of Florida. MT. Scott, a short, stout, very dark ne- gro, delivered short and feeling prayer. He asked a blessing on the convention and it's work, and closed with the recital of the Lords prayer.
 The chairman said the first order of business was the reception of the report of the committee on resolutions, and the chair recognized for that purpose Sena- tor-elect Foraker of Ohio, who, as he stepped on the platform. was received with hearty applause, and said:
 As chairman of the committee on reso- lutions, I have the honor to report as follows:

ITS RECEPTION.
The Gold Claquers Made Great Noise
 Oyer the Money Plank.

The Gold Claquers Made Great Noise
 Oyer the Money Plank.
 MT. Foraker read in clear voice with distinct enunciation. He gave pointed emphasis to the indorsement of President Harrison, which was received with cheers, but not with any overwhelming demonstration.
 AS MT. Foraker approached the finan- cial plank MT. Teller left his seat with the Colorado delegation and. moved up to the platform, where he seated himself at the end of the second row of seats to the right of the chairman.
 With the opening. sentence, "the re- publican party Is unreservedly for sound money" which MT. Foraker read slowly and very emphatically, a burst of cheer- ing occurred and the applause was re- peated with redoubled volume when the pledge to promote international agree ment for free coinage was read. The cheering at this point was so prolonged that it interrupted the proceedings for some time and compelled the chairman to rap for order.
 The demand for American control of the Hawaiian islands received approval, but the proposed building of the Nicara- qua canal by the United States and the purchase of the Danish islands for na- val station fell fiat. There was surpris- ingly little enthusiasm over the Monroe plank, but the convention missed the clause demanding the intervention of armed forces of the United States in Cuba, which appeared in unauthorized guesses at the platform. Influence and good offices appeared in place of armed intervention"
 Civil service enforcement was received in blank silence, but the demand for free ballot and the condemnation of lynching enlisted the enthusiastic ap- proval of the colored delegates.
 The reading of the platform as a whole was listened to with marked attention, and at the close it was greeted with great cheering. The reading occupied twenty-five minutes. MT. Foraker mov- ed the adoption of the report as the re- publican national platform for 1896.

UTAH ALTERNATIVES SEATED.
Seats of the Three Bolters Filled-Senatol
 Browns Little Talk.


 Senator Brown of Utah rose to ques- tion of privilege and the chair, in accord ing him the floor, expressed the hope that the request had not been made for the purpose of saying anything offensive to the convention.
 Senator Brown, speaking from the plat form, said:
 "Mr. Chairman: The delegation from Utah does not bolt (Cheers.) We do not believe that the republican party is the oppressor of the people, but the guardian of liberty and the protector of honest government. (Applause)
 Three of our delegates have gone, and I am here to express our sorrow at their departure. We have asked them to re- main and we shall never cease to regret their departure C'Good" and cheers.)
 We have three delegates left and three alternates, Messrs Rogers, Green and Smith, all true to the old party, and who are as loyal to it's principles and as fixed as the everlasting mountains where we live. (Cheers)
 "In saying this we still remain true to the principles of free gold and free silver at the old rates. We do not believe this question can be settled by votes in a con vention.
 "The test of time only can settle it and we believe when 1t shall be settled in this way it will be for the reinstatement of silver as the constitutional money. But l promised not to speak on this subject. There is one great issue before the Amer ican people, one to which the republican party was pledged years and years ago. You have promised to the people of the United States an American tariff (cheers), an American issue. Renewed cheers.) You must send protection to every ship owner and every shipmaker You must send protection to the farmer, to the manufacturers, and I say to you that Utah, or at least a part of 1t, will endeavor to help you in that cause" l" (Cheers)
 Senator Brown concluded by asking that the three alternates he named be allowed to sit in the convention in place of the delegates who have left.
 The chair said unless objection was made this would be so ordered. No dis senting voice being raised, the three al- ternates. Lyndsey Rogers. Web Green and A. Smith, were seated as delegates from Utah. The chair next recognized MT. Burleigh of Washington.
 MT. Burleigh, speaking from the plat form, said the young state of Washing ton yields her place for patriotic devo- tion to loyal allegiance to this govern ment and the tenets of this party to none. We did not come here, he said, for inspiration on the silver question. We brought our inspiration with us We believe in the single gold standard be- cause we believe that the money which pays the banker in Wall street his inter- est is none too good to pay the laborer in Montana. Then he added that with pro- lection, reciprocity and the chosen stands ard-bearer, William Mckinley, Washing ton would give good account of herself in November. This was the first time McKinley's name had been publicly men
