naturally expected that as he had re-
tired because he felt obliged to support
the nominees Of his party at Chicago,
that his successor would be in full
harmony with Mr.. Cleveland on the
money question,
Gov. Francis took a strong stand in
favor Of the gold standard in the pre-
hminaFy battle for delegates to the
Chicago convention, but he and his
associates were disastrously beaten in
his state. During the convention he
was also active. In the convention he
has, it is said by his friends here, given
no public utterance as to his position
with regard to the Chicago ticket, and,
so far as known, has not, at least &C.
lively, allied himself with the move
ment for the indianapolis convention.
Throughout his political career he has
been strong supporter and warm
friend of Mr.. Cleveland and the admin
istration. 1t is recalled that when Mr..
Cleveland was at Lake Wood making
up his cabinet, prior to entering upon
his second term. ex-Gov. Francis was
summoned there, and there was a
strong impression for a time that he
would be given a portfolio.

side had named a democratic governor

we who have assem- bled have remained
true to principles, he said when
we sent Our delegates down to
Chicago we expected them to
proclaim again the doctrine which
has been ours from the birth
Of therepublic Instead, they trampled
those principles under foot and we are
here, as I understand it, to protest
against the wreck Of the democratic
party by the betrayers who dominated
the Chicago convention"
The platform as reported by the COM
mittee was adopted without opposition.
It is modelled after the one adopted last
week by the Kentucky gold democrats.
On the money question it says;
We are opposed not only to the sixteen to
| one theory, but to Bryan because We are un-
able to tell whether he is in favor Of the fall
lacy or Of the creed Of the pOpulists, to-Wit the
issue Of tFTedeemable paper money. As a can
didate he stands upon both the Chicago and
St Louis platforms and is seeking the votes OF
both parties. One set OF his constituents in
slst that he believes in their halfway Fat
money. The other set insists that he believes
in their more thoTough-going doctrine Of abso-
Lutte fat money and is only using the sixteen
to one dodge as q stepping stone to the end
which they desire,
The country needs fnsacial rest, This dis
tressiEg period Of stagnatiOn cannot end until
it is definitely settled that the American peo-
pie cannot be induced to change that infeXi-

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 25.-There were
hundreds of arrivals yesterday and to.
day Of Knights of Pythias for the 18th
biennial session of the supreme lodge
and the national encampment of the
pythians and related organizations
Supreme Chancellor Richie in his
report dwells on the fact that despite
the business stagHation the order has
made a remarkable showing. There
were losses Of membership on account
of the German ritual and Roman Cath
olic questions and because Of the strict
wedding out of delinquents, but the
order is declared never on SO safe
basis as now. The receipts for 1894
were S4,O2O, 995 and for 1895, 81, O32, sos,
a total for the two years Of S8,O53, 600
The subordinate lodge assets De-
eember 81, 1898, were S7.O6s,054 and
December 81, 1895, $500 I'll. showing
an increase in the past two years
of S942,627. The expenditures for re-
lief in 1894 were 81, 243, 675 and in 1895,
81. $50, O69; total, 81, 494, 374, an increase
during the past two years Of Sis, Goa
The number of subordinate lodges on
December 81, 1898. was 5,99S and De-
eember 81, 1895, 1894, an increase in
the two years of 1876 The number of
members December 81, 1898, was 443,-

a net gain of 2O,924 The number of
limitations during the years 1894
and 1895 was 1O3, 1872. The chan
cellor takes a pronounced stand
against propositions TO extend
the order to other countries and
refers temporarily to the Withdrawals
of Catholics because of the pope's de-
cree. The states in which the greatest
gains were made were: Ohio, 1859;

Mr.. Hurd Enters Denial.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 26.-On Satur-
day an evening paper printed an article
in which it declared that the Sants Fe
and Rock Island railroads had decided
not to supply nominees upon the popu-
list state ticket with free transporta-
ton. Attorney Hurd, of the Santa Fe,
says the policy of his road is and has
been to treat all political parties with
absolute fairness, He also states that
during the two years that the populist
party was in power in Kansas they
asked for and received more eompli-
mentary transportation over the Santa
Re than any political party, republican
or democratic, had ever asked or re-
eeiyed before or since.

Interesting Statistics as to Production and
Value During 1895.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-Mr. Edward
W. Parker has completed his annual
compilation of statistics of coal pro-
duction in the United States. The
figures relating to Kansas are interest
ing. The total product of the state in
1895 was 2. 926, $40 short tons, with a
spot value of So, 481, 9s1. In 1895 there
were five states in which the coal pro-
duction was less than in 1894. First
and foremost of these was Kansas,
whose output decreased 46l, Ss1 short
tons, entailing a shriukage in value of
S69ZO17.
Missouri had a total product of coal
in 1895 of 2,372, 500 short TONS worth
50, 651, 612 The amount, while larger
than in 1894, was much below the aver
age for the previous ten years. The
ten mines in Macon gave that county
the distinction of supplying the largest
amount of coal, 489, $40 tons, worth
1857, 751. The output of coal in Mis-
souri, reached its highest figure in 1888,
year of exceptional activity in the
western states, when it was 3,9O9, 1857
tons. 1t mas not exceeded 3,OOO,OOO
tons in anyone year since.

4 Few Historical Facts which are Par
fIrnIarIr rntarn.As-..- IL. -

A Few Historical Facts Which are Far
tlouIsrIy Interesting just Now,
Bimetallism and the free coinage Of
silver vas thoroughly discussed before
it was embodied in the coinage laws of
the country. As early as 1852 Robert
Morris made proposalsfor the establish
ment of a mint, which proposals were
approved by congress. The question as
to whether gold or silver, or both gold
and silver, should be adopted as the
money Of the country was thoroughly
discussed by Robert Morris, Alexander
Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson and other
great men of that time. In 1855 the
grand committee of the continental
congress made a report on this subject.
in which it said:
'1n France a grain of pure cold is
counted worth 10 grains of silver. In
Spain 10 grSins of silver are exchanged
for one Of gold, and in England 10 l.5.
In both the kingdoms last mentioned
gold IS the prevailing money because
silver is underValued. In France silver
prevails. Sundry advantages would
arise to US from a system by which sill
yer might become the prevailing money.
This would operate as a bounty to draw
it from our neighbors, by whom it is
not sufficiently esteemed. Silver is not
exported so easily as gold, and it is a
more useful metal"
The discussion finally eliminated in
the adoption Of a double standard, prin-
cipaily through the eXertions of Alex
ander Hamilton. His suggestions and
those of Robert Morris and Thomas
Jefferson were embodied in the act of
April 2, 1872, establishing q mint and
regulating the coin of the United States,
the fourteenth section of which says:
sand be it further enacted, That it
shall be lawful for any person or per
sons to bring to the said mint gold and
silver bullion in order to their being
coined, and the bullion so brought
shall there be assayed and coined as
speedily as may be after the recent
thereof. and that free Of expense to the
person or persons by whom the same
shall have been brought"
Under this law gold and silver were
coined at the ratio of fifteen to one.
There was no change in this law until
1884, when the ratio Of sixteen to one
tthe present ratiO) was established. In
1853 the weight of silver pieces of less
than a dollar was decreased 81 per
cent, and their legal tender power was
limited to S. Previously fractional
silver currency had been an unlimited
legal tender No change whatever was
made in all these years looking to the
! demonstration of either gold OF silver.
Both were coined in free and unlimited
quantities at the minis. The national
conventions did not discuss the subject
at all. Free silver and free gold we're
embodied in the statutes Of the country
and there was no desire to demOnetize
either. There was no more necessity
for a national democratic convention
to take a position respecting the free
coinage of silver than there was for it
to make declaration in respect of the
law of gravitati0n. One was as much a
fixed law in the opinions Of the politi-
clans and statesmen Of those DAYS as
the other.

Giles here yesterday, although the
probability of Mr.. Smiths retirement
had been, in a measure, anticipated

but it is known that the personal re-

Mr., Smiths resignation, his friends
say, grew out of his differences with
his chief on the question of party

the president at such a time.
