Senator Thurston was quick to reply, Dc
claring his political career was free from
any dishonorablc act, and that he was
ready to abide by the judgment Of ths
people. The resolutions wero tabled with
out discussion. This was the only demon.
strat.on Of the opposition. The delegates
were selected by ncclamation and in.
ssructed to support Mckinley.
The financial plank Is as follows: "We
pledge ourselves in advance to the plat
form Of the forthcoming Republican ma
tional convention, believing that 1t will
declare against the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, AMI for q currency Of
gold, silver and paper, as sound as the
government and as untarnished as its
honor, and for that American system Of
protection and reciprocity Of which WILL

poncnt."

Thompson, OF st. Louis, n member Of the
management Of the Protectives, attempted
to antagonize the indorscmeOt of McKin-
ley, but were told that IL was too late and
the movement was squelched.

CHICAGO April 16-With an explosion
that shook the country for miles around
one OF the buildings of the Chicago Fire
works company at Crosse Point blew up
yesterday, killing two persons, fatally
wounding two. and terribly injuring six
othe. persons. The dead are: Nick Borre,
Is years old, lived in Wilmctte; Annie
Borre, IL years old. lived in Willmette.
Emma Simski, frisstfully burned, will
probably die; Anna Kriesant, badly
burned about the head and on the hands;
Katie Talman, burned on the arms and
face, will recover; Lizzie Schaefgen, badly
burned on the head and face; Rosa Mar.
tin, slightly burned; Chauncey Slewy,
frightfully burned about the head, face
and chest, will probably die; Henry Cong
don, driver, head, hands and feet burned;
Charles Drew. slightly burned on tho
arms and hands.
One Explosion Follows Another.
The employees, most of whom were girls
under age. had scarcely been at work an
hour when the accident occurred. What
caused the explosion is not and probably
never will be known. The girls were
working briskly and .mcrrily chatting
with one another, when Suddenly q terri.
BILE roar was heard, and the walls of the
building, which is one Of twelve similar
ones, fell outward, while the roof came
carcening down, crushing the poor vic
Tins to the floor. A minute later another
explosion followed, which mcrcifully
raised the roof from the dying and faint
ing, and with feeble limbs and agonizing
cries the wounded crawled out, some of
them, forgetful Of the own awful plight,
dragging the more helpless ones with
them.
Ono Girl Literally Annihilated.
Annie Borrc, one Of the brightest of the
girls, had completely disappeared. A few
bits OF her garments were found scattered
about, and there is no possible doubt of
the fact that she was literally blown to
atoms. Her brother. Nick Borre aged IS.
one year older than his sister, was fright
fully hurt. HIS limbs were almost torn
from their sockets, his head and shoulders
were a mass of horrible blistcrs, and the
physicians said ne could survive but q
short time. He died in few minutes.
Chauncey Slewy, the foreman, was tho
only other man In the building. His face,
scalp, hands and arms were burned SO
badly that his death seems imminent.
Afraid to Go to the Rescue.
After the roof WIS lifted from the ruins
he managed 10 crawl out to the door, but
there, overcome by the smoke, he tainted
and for half.hour was left there, the peo-
pie who had gathered meantime from
the village settlement proper of Crosse
Point being afraid to go to his rescue, as
they were expecting every moment an
other outbust in some of the other build
ings. Most of tho girls had nearly aIi af
their clothing torn or burnt off, In a
dazed and half-crazed manner they sobbed
and begged to be taken Us far as possible
from the scene. In some cases their hair
had been burnt from their heads. and
several had lost great chunks of flesh.

tic In the history of the state, and in some
respects 1t was the most interesting. AT
the convention FREQ silver was turned

platform is these words: We favor the

only and undcr such restriction that its
parity with gold can be maintained. We
arc therefore opposed to the free and un-

Later on tho trip. ut Utica, ILL.,, Mr..
Bryan said in part: SIN this cam
paign there is going to be one per-
manent issue, and that issue is the
money question.
1.-The Experimentation declaresin
favor of the maintenance of the gold
standard until foreign nations take
pity upon our condition and come to
our rescue. The Democratic platform
declares its unalterable opposition to
the gold standard and declares in
favor of the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of 1G to / without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other
nation. 1t is not difficult for you to
determine on which side you stand.
Remember that the Republicans
do not say that the gold standard
is good thing. They dared not say
it. The misery that has cursed every
country where it has been tried pro-
claims that it is not good, and no party
in this country has ever defended it..
The Republican party, without daring
to say it is good, dares to say that the
American people must suffer from it
until some other government will help
us to get rid of it. We appeal to a
people capable of governing them
selves and ask them to say whether
they will determine their own finan-
cial policy for their own benefit or
submit to policy which other nations
think we ought to endure. lam will

RRYAN'S EASTERN TOUR.

William Jennings Bryan, Demo,
cratic candidate for President, made
II number of speeches on his trip east
from Lincoln, Neb., to New York. The
ceived wherever he stopped was a
good Indication of the great popular
ity of the candidate and of the cause
which he represents.
His speeches are clear and concise
and reflect his views in way that
cannot be mistaken. He does not use
dubious or hig terms, but
talks to the people in plain language
and in terms that admit OF only one
Interpretation.
Following is an extract from his
speech at Chicago on last Saturday:
II ain proud to have in this cam
paign the support of those who are
proud to call themselves the common
people. If had behind me the great
trusts and combinations, | know that
| would no sooner take my seat than
they would demand that should use
my power to rob the people in their
behalf. But having rather the sup
port of the great toiling masses, |
know that when they give to me their
ballots they shall unite in saying
but one thing. DO your duty and
we are repaid These are the people
who ask no favors of the government.
These are the ones who simply say,
let us observe equality before the law.
Give equal rights to all and special
privileges to none"

of Mr.. Bryan is that Of Major Me

Joint discussions on the money
question are becoming frequent.
Several weeks ago, joint debate was
held in Towson between Major John
|. Yellott, who championed silver,
and Mr.. Thomas F. Wilcox, of Balti-
more. The latest of these is the chal-
lenge which Hon. Cyrus b. Watson,
the Democratic nominee for Governor
of North Carolina, has sent to his Re-
publican opponent, Judge ID. L. Rus
sell, for series of debates at various
places throughout the State. 1t is
said that the Republican State Com
mittee has advised Judge Russell to
decline. 1t is generally conceded that
Major Yellott had the better of the
argument in the debate at Towson,
