ing to take a chance of such thing
coming to pass.
Mr.. Game directed his attention to-
ward the county affairs and compared
the candidates for office. Beginning
with the commissioners, he made a
great showing for the Democracy. The
two candidates for reelection, he said
were no doubt good men, as men go.
and he had nothing to say against
them personally, but it was not every
good-intentioned man who was capa-
bic to take the affairs of a big county
in hand and run them for the best
interests of ali concerned. These
two men (Geddes and Christopher
SOM had been elected on a reform
platform yet when the first seven
months of their administration was up
a comparison of the books showed that
they had drawn in mileage, expenses
and compensation for themselves, al
most $1,000 more than their predeces-
sors had for the first seven months of
their administration.
Again, when the same gentlemen
were engaged in prosecuting persons
connected with the former administra-
lions for alleged misdoings, they were
themselves drawing illegal mileage
from the county and all this from men
who were elected on promises to do
better than others had done before
them and they now had the audacity
to ask for reelection. He did not
know Mr.. Perry, the other Republican
candidate, but the Tribune had said he
was an unknown quantity, and that
was Just what he was and Mr.. Geddes
being familiar with the routine of af-
fairs would be the board of commits
sioners if the Republican ticket were
elected How different were the two
tickets. The Democratic with Frank
Armstrong at the head of it. He had
been mayor once and when he went out
OF office he left over 100000 in the
treasury. Mr.. Game asked if any of
his hearers had ever heard of there
being any such amount of cash on
hand since and as if with one voice
his hearers replied NO
All through the ticket Mr.. Game drew
comparisons which left a forcible i'm
preston on the minds of the audi
ence and at every point he was en-
Enthusiastically applauded. The meet
ing was such a one as was well call
culated to show the temper of the
working men of that part of the city
at least to be on the Democratic side
at this time.

MADISON, Wis, Oct 29.-This city
was struck by terrific wind storm
shortly before 10 o'clock tonight. Trees
were torn from their roots and more
or less damage done to several build
ings. The second act of "Off the

just begun at the Fuller Opera House.
when the storm struck. That part of
the roof above the stage was lifted
from it's place and carried across the
avenue by the wind. A mass of stone
and mortar came tumbling down on
the stage. A panic was narrowly
averted, the audience rushing wildly
from the building. A falling brick
just grazed the face of one of the
actresses, but no one Was seriously in
jured.

of the grand old party. Many believed
in free silver, he said, and among
that number the speaker counted him
self, but the trouble was not all on &C.
count of the silver question.
Coming down to local affairs. he said
that no matter what men were elected
on the Republican ticket, there would
be free silver senator sent TO con-
gress. He urged Republican iegis-
lature and a Republican congressman
to check Mr.. Bryan in his efforts in
behalf of free trade. Suppose Bryan
should be elected. We all want free
silver, he said, but not coupled with
free trade. The people should not
send man to congress who would
vote for free trade, but man in favor
of protection, reciprocity and the bal
ance of the Republican doctrines. He
predicted that the next house of rep
resentatives would be Overwhelmingly
Republican, and therefore we should
send HolbrooI.

tinued the speaker, land there are

THE INDIANA DEMOCRATS
Declare for Matthews for President and
Free Silver Platform.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 25. - The Demo-
cratic state convention was the largest
ever held in the state The party primaries
and the convention preliminaries had been
prolific of contests and contentious. The
silver sentiment had developed rapidly,
and the advocates for free coinage had
with comparative ease captured a controll-
ing majority of the convention. But the
gold standard Democracy, in minority
and caught mapping, walked to a vigorous
resistance.
| OF the ,747 delegates the silver men, at
! first complacent in a two-thirds majority,
found the minority so vigorous that they
determined to use their power mercilessly,
and the only advantages claimed by the
! gold plen at the opening of the convention
were due to circumstances which the silver
men overlooked or could not control
The silver men captured everything, in
| structing their Chicago delegates to stand
through thick and thin, by the most ex-
treme silver deliverantAand the nomina-
ton of Claude Matthews to the presi-
dency. The candidate for governor Mr..
Shively, appeared after he had been de-
clared the nominee and made n vigorous,
enthusiastic speech, giving special atten-
ton to the Endorsement of the silver
plank.
The ticket nominated is as follows: For
governor, Benjamin f, Shively; auditor,
Joseph 7. Tanning; treasurer, Morgan
Chandler; attorney general, John G. Nc
Mutt; supreme court reporter, Harry
Marrum superintendent public institu-
tions, w. d. st. Clair; state statistician

try nor any other country, Independent
and alone, Is able to maintain it, and it
would be folly to attempt 1t. Being so
convinced, we are opposed TO the free and
unlimited coinage of silver in the absence
of the cooperation Of other great nations.
We declare our belief that any attempt
upon the part of the United States alone
to enter upon the experiment of free silver
coinage would not only prove disastrous
TO our finances, but would retard or en-
tirely prevent, the establishment Of inter
national bimetallism. Until international
cooperation can be secured-to which end
all our efforts as government and as a
people should be in good faith directed
we favor the rigid maintenance of the
present gold standard"
The delegstes-at-largea are David b. HUI,
Roswell P. Flower, Edward Murphy, Jr.,
and Frederic Il. Coudert. Alternates-at-
large Robert Earl, Smith NJ. Weed, Jacob
A. Cantor, William A. Purcell.

rezas Democrats Indorso Bland.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 25.-An indOrse-
ment of Bland for president, and a straight
out silver platform at 16 to 1, regardless Of
the action of any foreign government, was
the sum and substance of the Democratic
silver convention which adjourned sine
die yesterday after two days session. The
interest of yesterdays session outside Of
the fight over the platform, which was
precipitated by some not wanting to make
the silver issue independent Of any other
nation, was the row that was precipitated
over the effort to have delegates instructed
for Bland for president The Democratic
believers in a gold standard, who held n
separate convention, will also have dele
cation appealing for admission at Chicago.

PorTsvILLE, June 25.-The jury in the
Eisenhower murder trial, in which the
prisoner is charged with the murder of John
Schwindt retired this morning at 11:1l
o'clock, and at las sent word that they had
arrived at a verdict. Promptly at 200
o'clock the jurors filed into the court room,
handed in sealed verdict. Judge Savidge
arrived at the court house and assumed his
place upon the bench at 2;O7, and was handed
the envelope containing the fate of Eisen-
hover.
Amid breathless silence the Judge broke
the seal and read the contents, and then ad-
dressed the jury as follows Gentlemen,
you will be obliged to say whether the
prisoner is guilty of murder in the frs
degree, or murder in the second degree, ol
voluntary manslaughter. You may retire
and make up your verdict"
1t is supposed the sealed verdict was guilty
as indicted.
The jury then retired for further consul
tation returning again at 216, and their
verdict was announced as Guilty of murder
in the first degree
Mr. Brumm, counsel for the prisoner then
asked that the jury be polled and each juror
responded to the verdict.
Mr. Brumm then moved an arrest Of judg
ment, pending a motion for new trial.
In case the motion for new trial is denied
the case will be carried to the Supreme Court
Eisenhower, the prisoner, was unmoyed by
the verdict, and carried the same doggoG
expression that has characterized him during
the closing days of the trial.

Convention.
ILVERITES CARRIED EVERYTHING.

COLUMBUS, o., June 25.-The Democratic
state convention concluded last night
after being in session continuously all
day. 1t was primarily silver convention
and secondarily the budding of boom for
John r. Mclean for the presidential NOM
ination at Chicago. OF the 673 delegates
542 voted for free silver and 618 for Nc
Lean. Three men were mentioned by the
delegates as Ohio's favorite for the Chi
cago convention-McLean, Campbell and
Bookwalter. Ex-Governor Campbell had
been favorite until the silver tidal wave
struck the state, but he was considered
too conservative on the silver question.
When Ex-Governor Campbell and his
friends arrived here and found the sonti-
ment drifting for Mclean or Bookwaltor
they supported the former, defeating

Bookwalter in hot fight for delegate,
and thus ending the Bookwalter boom for
president, and leaving the field, so far as
Ohio is concerned, to Mclean, with the
unit rule annexed. There were at first
two opposing movements, one to instruct
for Campbell and the other to instruct for
Boollwalter.
The Mclean men worked hard to pre-
vent instructions for any one, and their
next movement was to keep rivals from
being selected as delegates They had their
way in the preliminary work of the dis
trict and committee meetings on Tuesday
and yesterday in the convention. They
named all the delegates and state candi-
dases and dictated the platform. Today
the Mclean boom for president is no
! longer under cover 1t is currently re-
ported that Senator Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, and others outside of the state are
in the Mclean movement.
The ticket selected by the convention is
as follows Delegates-at-large, John r.
! Mclean, Allen w. Thurman, L. r. Holden
and Il. B. Finley alternates-at-large T..
E. Powell and Charles ;. Fleichheimer;

John r. Mclean is proprietor Of the
! Cincinnati Enquirer, and has been advo-
eating free silver for years in his paper.
l.. f. Holden isproprietor of The Morning
Plain Dealer and The Evening Post, at
Cleveland, and has also been an earnest
advocate of free silver. General +. b. Fin

The champion of free silver in the state
in recent years has been Allen w. Thur

Ohio when that element was in the mi
nority at Democratic conventions. He is a
son Of the late Allen G. Thurman, who ran
on the ticket with President Cleveland in
1888, and was for twelve years Senator
from Ohio. The fathers Of Thurman and
Mclean were bitter political enemies dur
ing their lives and the sons never got TO-
gether till the present silver campaign.
Chiffon A. White, who heads the ticket
for secretary Of state, served in congress
during Lincoln's administration, and was
a close political friend Of Clement l., Val

SARATOGA, June 25.-The Democratic
state convention that convened yesterday
morning and adjourned in the afternoon
has put itself on record on the financial
platform and has selected its delegates to
the national convention, but in doing
these things it has followed out the pre-
diotions of weeks and has not created any
sensation or even mild surprise 1t has
declined to name its electors, has not put
itself on record on any state issues, and
has left the selection of a state committee
until the next state convention.
These things have all been done at the
instance Of the leaders and with theavowed
purpose Of placing the party in such posi-
ton that, no matter what the platform Of
the national party is it can be supported
by the electors and the party in this state
On the question of finance the platform
declares in part;
Free coinage of silver by the United
States alone can have no other effect than
to change our present standard to one of
silver, now a deprecated coin. We are in
favor of gold and silver as the standard
money Of the country. We are opposed as
permanent financial policy TO gold mon
ometallism on the one hand or to silver
monometalism on the other hand. The
efforts of the government shouldsbe stead
