Theodore Nelson of the state central

Our President. forgetting the tarfn issue

confusion into his party by striking down
with traitorous hand the only apology that
still remained for the coinage Of the PEG.

Illinois today has no representative IN Con-

party has always been for the free coinage
of silver and gold at the old ratio. The

been couched in equivocaI terms We are
told by some of Cur friends that for har-

let us register q vow in heaven not to

1t was given out by one of the free silver
leaders shortly before the convention was
called to order that the platform would
first declare for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of III 10 l.
The other planks would be for reform in
the taxation and revenue laws OF the state.

sion here today at noon. but outside Of per-
fecting temporary organization and the ap-
pontment of the various committees moth
ing was done. Adjournment was had until
this afternoon. Last night both factions
held caucuses. The silver men agreed to
send eight delegates to Chicago. and. as
there seems to be no formidable opposition
to the causes. it will probably hold good. A
draft of the platform was seen this morn
ing by an Associated Press representative
and 1t declares une0uivocalIy for IL to 1,
against tariff, and is at cross purposes with
the st. Louis platform at almost every turn.
The gold men in caucus last night agreed
that it would be best to send delegation
to Chicago to contest seats, and they will
robabfy do that. Though Bland, the silver
advocate, was expected here this morning
he did not arrive. but his friends thirk that
he will be here on this afternoons train.

GATHERING AT SARATOGA.

less Minority.

SARATOGA. N. Y, June 23.-Delegates
TO the democratic state convention, which
meets here tomorrow. are arriving by every
train. Senator Hill. ex-Secretary Whitney,
Chairman Hinckley and Mayor John Boyd
Thatcher of Albany are here. There are
few contests to be settled by the conven-
ticn, the most important one being that of
the Shepardites. from Kings county. 1t
will be urged against the seating of this
delegation that it through the action
of the Shepard faction in nominating an in
dependent candidate that the republicans
were enabled to elect their nominee for
mayor of Brooklyn last November. The
question of the form which the conventions
declaration on the currency shall take is
the foremost one today, and is stir open.
Senator Hill is alleged to favor an unquali-
fed plank in favor of the gold standard,
and judging by surface indications the
StraddlerS are in a hopeless minority.
The four delegates-at-large to the Chca-
go convention will probably be Senator
bIll. Ex-Governor Flower. F. r. Couiert
and Senator Murphy. 1t is practically de-
termined that State Senator Jacob A. Can
tor and eX-Postmaster General Bissel will
be two of the alternateS, with the chances
in favor of John Boyd Thatcher and John
B. Sanchheld, democratic leader in the last
state assembly. the other two. Perry
Belmont will be a district delegate Will
liam F. Shee will refuse election
national committeeman, and his place may
be filled by John Boyd Thatcher. 1t is prob
able that Mr. Bissell will sit in the national
convention in place of Senator Murphy.

Validity of Building ReRuiation

Validity of Building Regulations.
Mr. Samuel Maddox, as attorney, raised
an important constitutional question be-
fore the Commissioners this afternoon af-
fecting the validity Of the building regula-
tons. 1t was the case Of property owner
whose land was situated on a corner Part
being reserved by the building reguta tons
as light and air space The adjoining lot
owner recently took out permit to erect
several houses, one Of which adioins this
lot ON the rear. He awaited himself of the
building regulations regarding party walls,
and has commenced the erection Of his wall
four and cne-half inches on the property
Mr.. Maddox claimed that he had no right
to do this, as the owner on the corner was
prohibited from ever using the party wall
and the regulations virtually allowed the
other owner to take four and half inches
Of the corner mans property without any
compensation. 1t is believed that the build
ing regulations will be amended to meet
such cases.
