steam caliopes and shrieking whistles OF

Little Rock, Ark, June 12.-The DEM

until 2:15 this morning, the greater part
of the time being taken up in hot fight
over the question OF expressing choice
for a presidential candidate. A resolu-
ton instructing the national delegates
for Bland was vigorously opposed by
Senators Jones and Berry, but was fin
ally adopted by vote of 42O to 927. The
platform adopted made no reference to
the national administration. The fin
ancial plank is as follows:
eve favor bi-metallism and to that
end we insist upon the free and unlim-
tied coinage of both gold and silver at
the ratio of 16 TO l, as money of final
redemption with equal legal tender
powers. independent of the action of
any other nation. We are opposed to
the issue OF interest-bearing bonds for
any purposes in time of peace"

The workers asked for a restoration

made two years ago. Instead Of getting
it, they were asked TO accept another
reduction. This time the manufactur-

Pittsburg, Pa, June 19.-Chairman
W. F. HarTity, of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee passed through here
to-day en- route to Philadelphia from st.
Louis. While in ST. Louis Mr.. Harrity
declined 10 be interviewed on the sub
ject Of politics, for the reason that his
visit there was OF purely personal and
social character, and that it seemed in
delicate for him to discuss politics from
Democratic standpoint while the Re-
publican party was the guest OF st.
Louis.
When asked about the platform
adopted yesterday, Mr.. Harrity said:
I'm my opinion the action of the Re-
publican National Convention makes it
even more important that the Chicago
national platform shall declare for
sound money than II an equivocal fir
ancial plank had been placed in the ST.
Louis platform. am on record as pre-
dieting that the Democratic national
platform will not declare for the free
coinage of silver, and l am still quite
hopeful that the sound money element
of the Democratic party will prevail in

tor Teller may be nominated by the Chi

ment's serious consideration.

JOE PETRICH TALKS SHOP
He Tells Something Of What the Public
May Expect
This Is the Anniversary Week of the Opening
of the Orpheum-A Most Successful
Year Closed

One year ago Gustave Walters of the
Orpheum theater, San Francisco, decided
to open a first-class vaudeville theater in
this city, to be run in connection with his
northern house. Joseph Petrich, the local
manager, was seen yesterday and asked it
he had any announcements to make for
the coming year. MY first Words said
he, "should be to thank the people of Los
Angeles for the hearty support they have
given the Orpheum during the past year.
Few persons can appreciate the difficulties
under which the enterprise was started and
carried to successful issue. 1t is quite a
different thing running vaudeville theater
here from what it is in an eastern city.
We have difficulties here which an eastern
manager knows nothing of. Any east
ern house has more talent offered
than it can possibly use, and it
is with them only question
of good judgment in wedding it out. With
us it was a continuous hunt for talent, and
then the expense OF bringing them out here
was considerable. This we have reduced
to minimum by opening another theater
at Denver, and Mr.. Walters is now ar
ranging for fourth, at St. Louis. Our Eu-
ropean agency has been perfected, SO that
we can now secure the best talent from
abroad and play them over our circuit be-
fore the act is seen in an eastern city. And
by being able to offer longer engage
ment, better artists are secured. With
fourth house in the circuit change of pro-
gram can be made in each house every
week"
what about theater for Broadway"
"When Mr. Walters was here a few
weeks ago he decided to first arrange for q
fourth theater in his circuit and when mat
ters were running smoothly to then look
into the matter of theater for Broadway.
Therefore, when here, he secured his lease
on the Orpheum for another year. You
might say that through our European
agency we have secured some of the
strongest talent in the world Every week
a foreign team will be one of the features
of our bill. A sample of what may be eX-
pected may be seen in the freres Matthias
troupe and Mile. Marthy Marthie.'
