HILL Will NOT BOLT.
Will Declare For Bryan, But Will Not
Endorse the Entire Platform.

Senator David B Hill was hard at work
to-day attempting to crack the hardest
political nut that he has ever handled.
although he has frequently succeeded in
breaking some very hard ones.
The Senator has decided to support the
ticket, but he will not endorse the entire
platform adopted Mt the Chicago conven-
ton.
In the statement which the Senator is
preparing, and which he expects to give
to the public on Wednesday, he will at
tempt to show way for Eastern Demo
Gratis to vote for Bryan and Sewall and
yet oppose the Chicago platform. This
problem is not yet thoroughly worked out
of the Senator's own mind.
Upon the currency question the Senator
will fall back ION the lines of his Elmira
speech, but he will speak about the in.
ternational bimetallic agreement in the
most emphatic terms. Then he will refer
to his record on the income tax. After
reterating his position upon these ques-
tiOns he will pay his respects to Mckinley
and the members OF the syndicate that
controls him. He will hold Mckinley
responsible for most of the distress cXpe-
ricnced by the people of the West and
South.
Then Mckinley and Bryan will he COM
pared. to the great advantage OF the lat
ter. The Senator will take it for granted
that New York will go for sound money
anyway, and therefore the party organi-
cation should be maintained, in order
that sound money Democrats can be
elected to Congress.
Senator Hill will hold that the currency
question cannot be made a party one but
must be finally disposed of by the con-
servative element of each party in Con-
gress. So, even if Bryan were elected, a
good representation of sound money Dem
ocrats in Congress would be all the more
necessary. BY reviewing the record of
the Republican party in the State and
nation the Senator will argue that the
preservation of the party is necessary to
the welfare of the country.
OF course, these are only the rough out
lines of what Senator Hill will have to
say.
Positive information has reached here
that Senator Murphy and Senator Cor
man, of Maryland, fully agree with Sen
ator Hill and that they will come out in
due time for Bryan and Sewall, but will
not endorse the platform.
While speaking for Bryan, Senator
Murphy is credited with the significant
remark: Power brings conservatism. p"
1t is understood that Mr.. Whitney is
not inclined to go as far as Senator Hill
in support of the ticket.-From the New
York Journal.

SIXTEEN TO ONE.
The Prevailing Ignornce as to the Mean
ing of the Term.

The Prevailing Ignornce as to the Mean
ing of the Term.
In speaking of the lack of information
which prevails in some quarters in regard
to the meaning of l6 to /, the Washing
ton Post says: We had supposed that the
meaning of ''16 to ~ as the term is used
in discussing the coinage question, was
understood by all readers of the daily
newspapers, but it appears that this as
sumption was unwarranted. The Spring
field Republican has published letter
from correspondent who has made it
his business TO collect opinions on this
subject in a manufacturing city in New
England. He says he found one man of
large business interest who said that the
term 16 to meant that it took sixteen
silver dollars to equal the value of one gold
dollar. The correspondent reports hav
ing found a number of bank officials who
were all at sea OH the subject. The Re-
publican finds man of good business
standing in the exceptionally intelligent
city of Springfield who thinks it means
that the gold dollar is worth as much as
sixteen silver dollars.
The New York Evening Post learns
that in North Carolina the opinion pre-
walls among the colored men that it means
that white men ought to have SIG where
the colored men have 81. For this reason
they are naturally and strenuously oppos-
ed TO it. The Advertiser of Tuscaloosa,
Ala, knows of a man who is in favor of
free coinage because it would give per
capita circulation of so, and as his family
| consists of six members that would give
them $500 in cash. These are fair average
samples of numerous list of opinions,
which would he amusing if there were
anything funny in ignorance upon a very
grave question.
Yes; but probably very few votes in this
country will be left in ignorance on this
matter when the morning of the cleo

n II EUM ATISM
THEY OUGHT TO Do 1T

st. Louis, Mo July 1S--Secretary J.
II. Turney, of the Populist national COM
mittee, who arrived this morning, is out
spoken in his desire that his convention
shall endorse Bryan and Sewall.
1T is the practical and patriotic thing
for us to do" said he. 'sIf we fail to do
it we will jeopardize the vital issue of
this campaign-free silver, an original
tenet of the trne Populist faith. be-
lieve free silver is going to win anyhow,
and if we fail to endorse the only man
who stands any chance of winning for
the cause of silver, we will be shorn of
glory as individuals and be classed as its
enemy"
with that view do you think YOUR
convention will make straight ticket"
Yes, but it will be minority ticket.
The majority of Populists are not going
to fritter away a principle so dear to
them, as has always been the restoration
of silver to its constitutional functions as
a money medium. Outside of admins
traticn circles it is decidedly for BRYAN.

desperate robbers is believed to be in the
city, but has so far escaped oarrest. The
capture of the gang is said to be of the
highest Importance as far ras Chicago is

created a veritable reign of terror in the

This Country's Duty in Turkey.

In the height OF the first wave of
indignation in this country over the
Armenian massacres, there were some
who gave vigorous expression to the
opinion that it was the duty of our
government to interfere to put a stop
to the slaughter. Now that the rela-
tions of this government toward
European affairs are better understood
such demands are not made and the
fact is quite generally appreciated that
no good results would come from any
attempt on the part of this government
to do what the European powers have
assumed and still assume to do There
is an opinion. however, that this gov
eminent has duty to perform in con-
nection with the situation in that
country and that prompt and effective
performance of that duty will have a
tendency to relieve the situation some
what.

to the effect that our cruisers, the Gin
cinnati and Bancroft are on their way

American interests there. On Wednes-
day Hon. Everett p. Wheeler, who had
been invited to address the board of
foreign missions now in session at
Toledo because he was recognized as
an eminent authority on constitutional
law, was a member Of the national
Armenian relief commission and had
recently conferred with President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney on the
subject, read a very interesting and
important paper at the meeting In
this he took the ground that when the
treaty of 1880 provides for the protec-
ton of Americans engaged in Turkey
in ganful pursuits. our merchants
and commerce" there, it means the
protection of American citizens resid-
ing there. He Furthermore says the
treaty of 1852 confirms that view This
country has obtained from Turkey the

key tried before consular courts and he
