Silver Strength.

In the table in the Star, giving a
summary of how the vote is likely to
stand at Chicago, since all the demo-
silver strength was placed at 5S3 votes
and the gold-standard strength at 345.
This is absolutely accurate, taking
the action of the various State con-
ventions on the election of delegates
at large as basis, but the probability
is that the total of the silver forces
will be considerably larger than the
one given, and the whitemetal men
will control close to 600 votes when
the platform is up to be voted on. In
Minnesota and Maryland = for instance,
the entire vote of each State is placed
in the gold column because the dele
gates. at large from each were elected
as gold men. In Minnesota, at least
three conventions elected silver dele
Gates to Chicago. The unit rule was
not adopted there. 1t is probably a
safe estimate that seven votes from
Minnesota will act with the silver
men in everything; in fact the gold
men of that State acknowledge that
there is division of the delegation.
1t is probable that four men from
MARYLAND will vote the silver ticket,
as no instructions for unit rule
were adopted there. The addition of
eleven practically sure silver votes
to the white. metal column will make
the silver strength at Chicago 594,
and reduce the gold-standard vote to
1884, a majority of 260. In addition to
the stray silver votes mentioned, the
silver men claim that two of the four
districts of Maine will vote with the
silver men instead of one, as is
credited in the summary of States
Washington Star.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is dead,
and the people of the South whom
she so grossly misrepresented and so
cruelty maligned are not likely to
pass resolutions of respect to her
memory. She was woman of some
literary attainrnents, but seems to
have preferred sensationalism rather
than accuracy, and to have loved
notoriety too much to be just to one
section of the country. Prompted by
such motives and actuated by such a
spirit she seems TO have written
Uncle Toms Cabin, an anti-slavery
romance, which the Baltimore Sun
accurately describes as artificial in
tone and melodramatic in style, false
as a picture Of the peculiar institu-
ton" and unjust in the impression
which it created of the Southern
people. The good which people do,
it is said, generally lives after them,
but so far as the South is concerned,
the opposite is likely to be true OF
her. The wrongs which she did to
the Southern people by that book
are less likely to be forgotten than
all the good deeds of her life.

The committee, consisting of one
member from each State and terri
tory, selected at the st. Louis Con-
vention to convey to Major Mckinley
official notification of his nomination,
has performed that duty. The Major
was expecting the committee and
had the same old speech ready about
protection and reciprocity and fired
it off in good style. 1t is unneces
sary to add, perhaps, that they
found him standing, when they
reached his home on the platform
which was prepared for him at ST.
Louis, and that he was not slow in
telling them it had his unqualified
approval" as any other doubtless
would have had, whatever the ma
terial of which it might have been
constructed. Republican presidential
aspirants do not allow trifles in a
platform to bother them even if q
gold plank is inserted in it when a
silver one would have been more &C
certable, as is alleged, would have
been the case with Mr.. Mckinley.

second best design, and Mr.. w. c..
holland, of same city, gets the third
prize. The aggregate of these awards
was $1,5OO-$1, 900 to the artist hav-

The Confederate reunion in the
city of Richmond this week has
proved to be too immense an affair for
us to attempt description Of it. Re
ports of it, made through our ex-
changes, indicate that the task is too
stupendous even for the great dailies
of the Capital City. The scenes pre-
sented there in the last four days are
so numerous and varied, that every
description, in fact, seems to be
meagre and the half of what trans
pired in Richmond of interest to
every Southern man can, perhaps,
never be told. The gathering, it is
estimated, was the largest that ever
assembled in the city and the pro
gram of exercises, which was prom
ised, elaborate as it seemed to be,
appears to have been small com
pared with what it has been.
1t is enough to know of it, however,
that one thing has been demonstrated
beyond all others by the reunion,
that the affection of the people of the
Southland for their dead chieftain
has not been chilled by the lapse of
years, and gratifying to note in con-
nection Herewith. that the veterans,
loyal as they now are to the old flag,
were too true to themselves, not to
show by their numbers and other
wise on this as on all similar occa-
sions, loyalty as well to the Lost
Cause and the memory of those who
fought and died for it.

The committee appointed by the
democratic bimetallists at Chicago
had a conference Wednesday with
the national democratic executive
committee at Chicago on the subject
of the temporary organization of the
convention. The selection of the
temporary chairman was deferred
until next Monday. The silver men
were dissatisfied at the postponement
of the selection until so late a time.
They indicated their purpose to con-
troll the convention at all hazards, and
will doubtless have their way in the
matter. There seems to be no doubt
that the silverites will run the con-
vention, adopt silver platform and
nominate a candidate for President,
whose views are in accord with their
own on the financial question.

The manly and able reply of the
Governor of Virginia to the Cover
nor of Maryland is doubtless very
gratifying to all the citizens of our
State, and will be accepted as salts
factory by all the law-abiding citizens
of our sister State, we presume, the
small fry-politicians excepted-and
even they may learn after while,
that it does not pay to take the part
of the lawless for the favors which
they expect in return from them.

Richard Closter died this morning at
6 40 O'Clock. There was present, at thF
hour of death, only his old friend, MrI
Schultz. He Cid not regain consciousi
ness before death, and died painlesslyI
1T is apparent the old gentleman had
carefully studied over the matter and
came to the conclusion that he would
end his life after mature deliberation&
though not hint OF his purpose was al
lowed to be revealed by himself in any
manner He had the same pleasant
smile and nod for his friends up to the
very last time he was .seen. The day
before he had purchased revolver from
Maier & Benton, 36 caliber, the same
which he used to fire the fatal shot.
Some three years ago Mr.. Closter had
made out will and got Harry Clough
and Henry Bills to witness it. A few
days ago he remarked apparently by
chance to Mr.. Clough that he had made
no change in that document. To Mr..
Schultz he gave letter addressed to
| Mrs. Vierra which contained check fol
! $500. with the instruction to be sure
and deliYer it to the person addressed
Mr.. Closter was worth several Thousand
dollars in notes and money, though he
owned no real estate as far as known
His purse contained $130 in cash. Here
again is evidence that he had prepared
for his funeral expenses and that hi
death had been premeditated for SOM
time.
X Mr. Closter was member of the Ma.
sonic fraternity, the Odd Fellows ant
the Gesang Verein. The funeral vii
bccur at 10 O'Clock in the morning an
