Missouri Republicans Almost Have Riot
Over Right of Way

Missouri Republicans Almost Have a Riot
Over Right of Way.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo May 12.-The Re-
publican State convention WAS almost
turned into riot to-day before the
delegates were admitted to the hall.
The hour set for the opening of the
convention was 10 o'clock, and ct that
hour fully 1000 people were In front of
the Opera House clamoring for admis.
sion.
The cause OF the trouble was a dis
agreement between the Filley and
Kerens factions for supremacy. The
former, as chairman Of the State COM
mittee. Issued tickets to his set of dele
gates before leaving 81. Louis. Kerens
and his followers were present in force
with contrasting delegation, and this
caused all the trouble.
The local committee on arrangements
recognized Kerens and also issued tiok-
cts to the convention and having OBJ
tanned possession of the keys Of the
Opera House refused to admit anyone
until Filley would consent to q com-
promise.
About noon crowd OF excited dele.
gates made an attempt TO batter down
the door OF the hall. but were driven
back by the police after an exciting
struggle, in which many blows were ex.
changed. Finally an agreement was
reached between the leaders of the OPP
posing fa,tions by which the dvors were
opened and the delegates allowed to
enter.
After delay of three hours, Chair
man Filley appeared on the stage and
called the convention to order.
Filley made short speech and named
the Temporary chairman and commit
tees, after which recess WAS taken.
Late TO night the committee on reso-
lutions reported. The platform de-
clares against the free coinage Of sill

NO CoMpRoMIsE possIBLR.

AS the time for the meeting OF the
national Democratic convention draws
near 1t becomes more evide mt that there
will be no compromise between the adj.
vocates of gold monometalism and the
free coinage Of silver. No halfway
platform will be adopted by that con-
vention. 1t will be free And open fight
to finish, and the side which will have
majority there will dictate the plat
form and nominate the ticket The
idea that silver Democrats will submit
to q gold platform and vote gold-bug
ticket ia preposterous. They are deS
termined to have free coinage, and the
indications now are very plain that the
national Democratic convention will so
declare.
Prominent leaders OF the silver wing
are already falling into line on this
question, and there will be no division
in the national convention on this point,
SO far as they are concerned. Senator
John W. Daniel in speech at Rust
burg, Campbell county, on the 18th
inst, used the following words in dis
cussing the possibility OF the national
Democratic convention declaring for the
single gold standard: "If am required
to act against the interests of my peo
pie, then call me no longer Demo-
crat."
This is plain language, but it ex-
presses the sentiments of the great
majority Of Democratic silver advocates,
both in and out of Congress. Senator
Vest has given expression to similar
views. Tilden, of South Carolina, I'M
hesitatingly declares he will bolt the
national Democratic convention II
gold bug candidate Is nominated, and
others equally as prominent and in
fuential as any Of those above men
toned have expressed the same senti-
ments.
Representative Cockrell, OF Texas,has
written strong letter declining re-
nomination on gold standard platform;
and in that letter he declares he will
never vote for gold standard man for
u
harmony in the Democratic party. and
says 1t comes from alleged Democratic
papers in the South, which are Of the
Benedict Arnold stripe. He says he Is
glad the gold Democrats of Texas have
relieved the Democratic party of their
association, and that he is "tired OF
parading under q Democratic banner,
which has been 80 fouly besmirched by
men who claim to be Democrats. He
expresses surprise at the attempt to
fondle and conciliate the gold men in
his State, and says it is impossible for
the two factions to meet on common
ground.
Judge Cockrell concludes his letter
as folio vs.:
THE fight is for supremacy in the
Chicago convention and they (the gold
men) know the advantage OF being
backed by the machinery of the party.
Whichever faction has majority in
Chicago will adopt the majority rule,
make the platform and name the candi-
date, just as each State is now adopting
the unit rule. What will the defeated
faction do? There can be but one
answer. II both factions are honest and
sincere IN their convic tions-separate
and appeal to the people for vindica-
tion."

As appears elsewhere in these col

an assured fact. This step on Mr..
Denny's part, coming as ii does
Immediately after This brilliant and

praiseworthy. Wehad hoped that the

ccssful efforts for the betterment of
the country at large and this section
in particular, would bring about his

been willcd otherwise. With no dis
paragement whatever to his probable
successor, we believe SIR. Dcnny's
high qualifications, added TO the
wisdom that comes only from expe-
rience in the legislative halls, should
have made him the choice Of this

Att0rney-General Nash rendered an
opinion, in which he took the position
that all property, whether exempt

CAPT. MADORElL'S STORY
OF the People Who Called Upon Him
OF the Coast of Scotland.

Capt. Maddrell, Of the steam ship
County of York, now at Ship Island,
gives the P~icayune Biloxi cOrreSpon-
dent an interesting story Of Il recent
incident of the outward voyage from
IA Russian port to the gulf:
Capt. Maddrell also gives the follow
ing account OF a very peculiar and
interesting people on the island of st.
Kiida, TO the east of the north part of
Scotland: On the 23d we passed the
island of ST. Kilda and blew the
whistle to give the people Il passing
salute, when We saw Il boat pulling off
with six Jars and manned with ten
men, and with Il flag on a pole. AS
we thought they might require US to
take some letters, or they might want
some medicine, we stopped the ship
and let them come alongside. They
were quite Il superior class of people,
but only one could speak English. A
young man about % years of age could
speak and express himself extremely
well by giving him a few seconds to
collect his words. They stated that
they were very short of provisions.
The last vessel that touched at the
island did SO nine months ago, and the
last ship they saw was in August last,
and asked: Gould we give them any
provisions? They would like a little
tea, and sugar, and meal, and some
tobacco, and anything they could spare
them" We gave them 30 pounds OF
biscuits, 70 pounds of sugar, 2 II
pounds Of tea and s pounds of tobac.
co. We could not spare them any
oatmeal, which they wanted most.
They said: There were II people on
the island at the present time. and
their health was good, and by theiI
appearance | should say extremely
good. That their present pastor, Mr.
Fetters, was teaching the young peo
pie to read English, and then asked
us if W e could give them some old
newspapers. We gathered up quite 4
large bundle and dropped them into
the boat. Then had a little talk to.
gether in Gaelic, when the young man
looked up to us. THE men wished
me to say that they have no words IT,
express how grateful they are.n This
expression surprised us, as We did not
expect to find people so polite and
well-mannered on a lonely rock, away
out in the Atlantic ocean, and with nc
communication with the main land
for nine months. We lost an hour in
stopping, but when we started off again
and gave three blasts Of the whistle
they all got into the boat and waved
their caps as long as we could sec
them through the b%inocular glasses.

HON. WALTER M. DENNY
Withdraws From the Congressional
Race.

To the Democracy of the sixth Congression-
nj District;
The result Of the primaries held
throughout the district on the lOth
is evidence that the Democracy OF
this district desire 10 be represented
in Congress by one who processes
through belief in the financial relief
promised the country through the
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 10
to |, Independent of other nations,
rather than by n who accepts this
doctrine only because the Democratic
party has declared for it. Thus con-
WINGED, there is but n course left
me, TO save my friends in the counties
which have not yet acted in conven-
ton or primaries, any embarrassment,
and that is to withdraw from the race
for Congress, which l now here do.
In pursuing this course, | desire to
return my sincere thanks to those
friends who have so loyalty supported
me in this canvass-w0rds cannot eX-
press my deep and lasting gratitude
to them, and l hope all will so for

is YOUTH TO BE- TRUSTED2

Those who snceringly refer to W. j.
Bryan as a boy, let them turn to the
scroll upon which time has written
the names OF men who have changed
the destinieS Of nations. They will
find that men under the age Of thirty
six have made and dethroned kings.
They have formulated principles Of
government that have changed the
aspect OF the human race, you may
call 1t genius or what you will. The
fact remains that youth has never
been a bar to great achieve ncnts.
Let us take the history of the past.
We will not 20 far until we find that
youth has been mighty in its influ-
ence; that 1t has swayed the destinies
OF mankind In all ages of the world.
The United States was led on to VIC
tory by the fiery eloquence Of Patrick
Henry, whose fearless tongue led men
to fearful deeds Of daring. Henry
was but tw%enty-nine years of age
when he entered the Virginia House
OF Burgesses. Thomas Jefferson was
a boy when he drafted the Declara-
tiOn Of Independence, the grandest
document ever written by the hand of
man. Our early history is made up of
the achievements OF young men.
Henry Clay's eloquence had made him
famous before he was thirty, was
elected United States Senator at
twenty-nine. During the late civil
war youthtAl heroes came to the front
as gcncrals,r statesmen and diplO-
insists, whose names will live in his
tory forever. Let us look back at the
history we see coming out OF the dark
ness Of two thousand years ago. A
youth, who conquered the world with
the might OF his genius, who wcpt be-
cause his work was done, and died at
the age Of thirty. Alexander the
Great, was twenty-five when he start
ed on his Eastern expedition, and in
the same year he gained the victory
of Gramucus and u year later won the
battle of Issus. At the age OF twenty
four he captured Tyre aud GAIA, over
run Egypt and founded Alexandria.
At the age OF twenty-five lie over
threw the Persian Empire at Arbela.
When he died at the age Of thirty
three he was ruler Of the world.
Ponpey was famous at thirty.eight,
aud at thirty was in command of the
legions operating against the Marians
Ia Spain. Cicero was thirty.six when
he made his immortal speech against
Verres. Gustavus AdOlphus was
thirty.eight at the time OF his death;
he was King OF Sweden at the age of
seventeen, and at nineteen he had
