No Palmer TickSt,

The following resolution was passed
at conference Of the sound money
democrats at Huron on Thursday Of last
week:
Resolved, That We proudly proclaim
allegiance TO the principles adopted and
promulgated at the Inianapolis conven-
ton I; that to further the cause of honest
money, the maintenance of the national
honor and integrity and to promote to
the extent Of our ability the future vel.
fare and prosperity of this nation, We
deem 1t best not to place an electoral
ticket before the electors of the state in
support Of the presidential nominees Of
the national democratic party that we
earnestly recommend the organization
ofa sound money democratic club in
each county in the state.
The reason for not putting Palmer
ticket in the field Is indicated in the
following watertown dispatch of the
4th inst: "Hon. John B. Henten, re-
ceiver of the United States land Office,
in commenting on q meeting of the
National Democrats" at Huron this
week, said the reason ticket was not
put in the field Was that the majority Of
the sound money democrats desired to
vote for Mckinley. and although they
had petitions nominating electors and
other oncers ready to fils, they did no,
die them. Tho conference determined
to proceed at once to organize sound
money clubs among the democratic
voters Of the state with the understand,
Ing that it, members may feel free Ia
vote directly for Mckinley or to refrain
nom voting at all on national issues"

Thirty-four distinct delegations are

the rush to Canton may be regarded as

cial to the Herald from jack

While federal officials have
been searching for the Daunt-
less since she landed the muni-
lions in Cuba which were taken
on at Palm beach about ten
days age, that vessel has been
busily engaged in landing
more arms and men for the
insurgents. She made her
second landing on Tuesday OF
last week, and it is said that
she is now on her third "Trip to
the island. The Dauntless got
the arms from a small island at
the lower end Of Turtle harbuT,
where the Cubans have estab-
lished q storehouse for sup
plies. The munitions of war,
medicines, and stores are taken
TO the island by sailing vessels,
and, as the place is fifty miles
south Of here, there has been
little danger of detection a
supply of coal in sacks has
also been landed on the island,
and this accounts for the length
of time the Dauutless has been
away from port. The Daunlless
is under bond because OF
former trip, and will attempt
to avoid being placed again in
custody until a contract for
five trips to Cuba is completed.

petition of the Dauntless was
made by fishermen from Lemon

queer actions of a three masted
schooner opposite the south
