tomorrow i'm substance the following.
upon the visit of Quay to Mckinley:
Quay came to Canton, not as the
bearer of messages from any man or
group of men, but as the leader of
the Republican party in Pennsyi-
vania. He did not come. as he face
tiously remarked i'm Washington. to
question Mckinley about his attf-
tude on the money question. He
was "A Republican leader visiting the
man who will certainly be the nomi-
nee of the Republican party for presi-
dent. Giving Offices was not con-
sidered, nor was the campaign for
the nomination discussed. because
every tRep.) knows that campaign to
be practically ended. One thing they
did discuss was the campaign which
Mckinly will enter upon against the
Democratic candidate for president
The visit of Quay was such as will
undoubtedly be made by many other
Republican leaders, both before and
after the st. Louis convention.

DEMOcRAT-POPULIsT PARTY.
Rumor That the Pops Will Endorse the
Chicago Nominees II Silver Wins.

CHICAGO, May 21.-A special to the
Record from Indianapolis, Ind, says:
1.-The Populist of Indiana make the
that within the last
10 days an understanding has heen
reached whereby the Populists of
every state in the union are to accept
the platform and candidate of the
Chicago convention In case both are
for free silver,
"In accordance with the negotia-
which began several months ago,
the Populist national convention
and the convention of the national
silver party have been called to
meet in st. Louis on the same day,
July 22, two weeks after the meeting
of the Democratic national conyen-
tion i'm Chicago. The leading Demo-
cratic advocates Of free silver
throughout the country have heea
quietly informed if the Chicago con-
vention adopts a free silver plank,
and naninates a candidate who will
pledge himself to sign u free coinage
bill If 1t comes to him from congress,
the auction of the convention WILDE
endorsed by the two st. Louis con-
ventions. Representatives of the
Populist party have been travelling
through the west and southwest
during the past six weeks suggesting
that the state conventions be post
poned until the Democratic conyen-
tion in JULY shall have been held,
asking that the Populist stand for
the free coinage of silver as the pre-
eminent issue.
1T is announced that in all direc-
tions the plans suggested are being
carried out. In many states there
have been conferences between the
leading free silver Democrats, repre-
sentatives of the national silver
party, and the Populists.
''It has just leaked out here that
last Saturday afternoon there was a
meeting of representative of Indiana
free silver Democrats, Populists and
national silver party men. The
representatives of the Populists
announced i'm the meeting that the
state convention had been postponed
until August, in order that the
party might have the action of the
Chicago convention before it pro-
ceeded tn arrange for thecampaign." +"

ST. PAUL, May 21.-An Aberdeen,
S. ID. special to the Pioneer Press
says: The Democratic state conven-
tion met at Up. m. today and spent
all the afternoon In an Intellectual
attempt to organize. Finally, just
before O O'Clock, temporary organ
ization was formed by the election
of Ramsey as chairman. The com
mittee on credentials reported i'm
mediately after a recess, reporting
4Ol delegates entitled to seats. On
motion the temporary organization
was made permanent.
The convention adopted thefollow-
|idg financial plank: The Demo-
cratic party of South Dakota is in
favor of the present standard Of
value in our monetary system and
the use of full legal tender, silver
coins and paper convertible on de-
mand in such quantities as can be
maintained without impairing or en-
dangering the credit of the govern
ment or diminishing the purchasing
or debt paying power of the money
i'm the hands of the people"
Lynch, of Beadle, moved the adop-
ton of the following as a Substitutes:
Resolved, That we demand the res
toratiOn of the money of the consti-
tuition by "a law providing for the
free and unlimited coinage Of both
gold aud silver as legal tender, at a
ratio of III to l, regardless nf any
other country"
The convention by a vote of l67h
to 224k rejected the substitute and
adopted the original resolution.
The other resolutions arraign the
Republican party for extravaganza,
and declare unalterable allegiance to
the Cleveland administration, also
opposing any effort to materially
alter the present just aud conserya-
tive tariff, and pronounced against
secret political organizations. The
fight over the financial plank was
Extremely warm. but the free silver
delegates did not withdrw from the
convention. as it was rumored they
would do early in the evening.

DEnOcRATIc CONVENTIONS.
Iowa for Silver and Boies. New Hampshire
and South Dakota for Gold.

DUBUQUE, May D.-The Democratic
convention today was silver from
start to finish. Silver men con-
trolled every move, and the final re-
suit is that with the exception of del
egates from two districts, the Iowa
delegation to Chicago is solid and
uncompYomisingly for the white
metal. Even the districts captured
by the gold men are of no henefit to
them, because ot the adoption of an
iron-clad unit rule in the instructions.
The indorsement of Gov. Boies was
hearty and enthusiastic and his re-
ceptlon by the convention was one
of the most stirring scenes of the day.
The delegates to the Chicago conven-
tiOn are Horace Boies, s. ID. Evans,
Will A. Wells, and l.. T Genung.
The resolutions committee presented
two reports; the minority report
favoring gold was rejected 6lIk to
piggy, and the majority for a silver
platform was then adOpted by accla-
nation:

POPULISTS CONVENE.
One Instance Where there Were Too Many
Offices.

A Populist mass meeting-we Judge
it was high mass by the solemnity
oil the Occasion-was held on the
second floor of the Brooks building
Saturday afternoon last to select
delegates to the county convention
TO he held in Lewistown, June 9th.
At the appointed hour, 2p. M, T..
w. Watkins. who had been appointed
county chairman by State Chairman
Calderhead. mounted the stairs and
was closely followed by G. Il. Noble
and Geo. Wells, the latter being an
empluye of Mr.. Watkins. The two
latter gentlemen busted themselves
by arranging benches for about 100
people and bringing tables and chairs
for the officers. then sat down to
await the throng which was ex-
pccted. After a half hours waiting
they began tn straggle i'm but door
keeper not being provided they got
away again and at no time We're
more than five present. Those who
visited the hall were Camille Hogue.
VIM. Roberts, VIM. Wunierlin, Mr..
Watkins partner, and the three
gentlemen first named, beside one
spectator and Editor Shafer of the
Democrat. 1t soon became evident
that the chairman had made a mis-
take in apportioning delegates for
had he taken the Anaconda vote at
last election instead of the Helena
vote n full representation would
have been present. But as seven
six men had appeared it was decided
by Messrs. Watkins K Wunderlin,
the only ones present at $3.50. that the
meeting would be adjourned until
evening to meet in the knights OF
Labor hall and the ARGUS represen-
tative was informed that the meet
ing would be private as the Knights
met that evening and the two meet
ings would he merged.
Monday Mr.. Watkins informed us
that the meeting convened as stated
above and the following officers and
delegates We're duly elected. Chair
man, =. w. Watkins: secretary,
Henry Weingart; delegates-Wm.
Wunderlin, L. W. Watkins. Sol.
Sherwood, George Wells, G. f.

Weingart.
We We're Informed by G. B. Noble,
however, that no meeting of Popu-
lists was held Saturday evening i'm
the Knights of Labor hall and that
delegates were appointed by Mr..
Watkins. OF course these reports
conflict, but little matter of this
kind is nothing compared to the
vagaries and fallacies of a Populist
platform.
We have made diligent inquiry con-
cerning the holding of Populist
primaries i'm other precints but are
unable to learn of any having been
held.

THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes ehoked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings OF.
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try a Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it IS SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make tea OF the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
lATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. . Look for It.
