HAS GOLD LEANINGS.
That is Why He Resigned and His
Resignation Was Accepted.


Resignation Was Accepted.
INDIANAPOLIS, September 1O.-The
Democratic state committee hurried to
indianapolis to accept the resignation
of Chairman Holt, whose gold leanings
brought about breach between him
and Governor Matthews, that finally
forced his retirement. They met at
the Grand hotel at II o'clock this MORN
ing. Governor Matthews, Senator Tur
pie and other silver leaders held a pre-
liminary conference in the corridors
While Holt and his friends met in an
other room. The bitterness between
the factions is plainly seen, some of
them who have been friends for years
declining to even recognize one an
other.
Chairman Holt in his letter said that
since the adjournment of the Chicago
convention he has been the object of
unjust criticism and uncalled for sus-
picion, which has also extended to
other members who with himself OPP
posed free silver. This unremitting
fault-fnding handicapped and crippled
the committee. Personally during his
whole political career he has not BEEN
opposed to the doctrine involved in the
free coinage of silver, yet he did not
see in that fact a satisfactory reason
for quitting the regular organization
until the above-men tioned state of
affairs made it necessary.
After some discussion the chairman
ship was offered to Mayor Tom Tag
CART, of Indianapolis, who said his du-
ties as mayor and private business were
such that it would probably interfere
with those of the craftsmanship. After
discussing the matter Mr.. Taggart said
he could not accept the craftsmanship.
The committee then adjourned TO meet
again in the morning.

Too far for the touching of heart with

MADE LITTLE PROGRESS.

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 1O.-The con-
ference committee on fusion, made up
of representatives of four state CON
ventions-Democrat Populist, Silver
and Silver Republicans-mad little
progress last night al the Brown Pal
ace meeting. The PopuIist delegation
did not all arrive, but those coming
demanded the governor. Considerable
work is being done by the Silver Re
publican conference delegates to secure
an endorsement of William g. Smith
for governor. Friends of Jared L.
Brush Of Greeley are likewise active,
while the Democrats are working hard
for their candidate, Alva Adams of
Pueblo. The failure to secure an en-
dorsement for John L. Shaffroth for
reelection to congress is an apparent
break against ultimate fusion The
state ticket seems to have become
more important now that a fusion on
presidential electors in behalf of silver.
The three state conventions met
again today.

He Has an Immense Meeting Mt the
City Hall, of Portland
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept 1O.-Hon.
Thomas b. Reed closed the campaign
in this district at an immense meeting
at the city hall this evening. MI
Reeds voice was in excellent form and
he held the audience interested until
the end of his speech.
In discussing the currency question
he said:
4 remember another time when I
was before an audience like this in
this place. We had gone on in our
career of prosperity from 1868 to 1873;
enterprises had been spread all over
the country; more miles of railroad
had been built every year than were
ever built all the world, ever since
the beginning of time. We outstripped
our own pace. and in 1873 there came
a crash. Then we attempted to get out
OF our trouble. It was a very serious
trouble, because we had a currency
that had its foundation in the faith of
the people IN the payment by the gov
eminent, but unfortunately in the paw
ment some time or other, we had every
temptation then to listen TO the men
who said to US, Issue more green
backs; let US have larger currency and
then we viii go forward The tenn
tation was great; we were suffering
from the slow depression which re-
suited from lifting of the greenback
from the so cents on a dollar to 100
cents on dollar. 1t would have been
a great blessing 20 some of US who
were carrying debts at the time if there
could have been an issue and a stop. a.
great comfort to some of US, but we
resisted the temptation. We said.
When the United States says this is a
dollar and they are big enough to
make it a dollar just that moment it
ought TO be a dollar, and shall be-
And what was our reward? 1t was
