ST. Ii uIs, Mo-, June 11.-Col. 1saa'
Trumbo, national committeeman
and delegate at-large from Utah, il
authority for the statement for tht
silver men thus far on the ground, tha
program has already been mapped
out, which will be, that il the silver
plank is defeated in the convention
that they will not walk out, but will
stay In the convention and fight the
opposition to the bitter end, and then
II they fail utterly, as they expect TO
do, they will bolt the nomination. sour
plan will be,' said Colonel Trumbo,
"simply this: We will raid the con-
vention and take part in the proceed
ings to the end. Then, IL beaten, we
will Join the silver men and nominate
Henry M. Teller, of Colo, for president.
This defy has caused some talk but the
leaders here claim that Col. Trumbo is
stalking through his hat" and that a
number Of silver states have already
pledged themselves to the action of the
entire convention after, however, they
do ell they can for the silver cause.
California and Idaho have already
gwen it out quasi official that this will
be their plan. 1t is also believed that
New Mexico and Arizona will pursue
this course, not that they will be con-
verted to the gold standard but that
they are willing to trust to the best
judgment Of the entire convention,
and vote with the republican party on
election time.

WAsHINGToN, d. G. June IL
When Speaker Reeds gavel fell in the
house of representatives, for the final
meeting OF the FIRST session of the
Fifty-fourlh congress, less than two
score members were in their seats and

to act with similar committee on the
part OF the senate, to notify the pres
ident that congress was ready to ad-
journ. Agreed to. Messrs. Dinghy,
Cannon and Sayers were named by the

lowing resolution: .That the thanks

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 11.-At
1 p. M. both houses adjourned sine
die. There were very few members
present in either house when the final
act was performed and many of the
members will learn of 1t al their homes
In distant states. Other members who
are still at the capitol had failed to
attend regularly the past few days and
are packing up their belongings and
making ready for a summers rest as
fast as possible. A united press re-
porter has been busy yesterday
and to-day, interviewing the members
still in this city, and finds that most of
the members, especially of the house,
will spend the season among their con-
stituents, as this is campaign year, and
their services are needed. Many OF
them, however, will spend few weeks
at their favorite resorts, resting up,
and will not give serious attention to
politics until after the Chicago oonven-
tion is held. Many of the republican
senators and representatives will 60
direct from here to St. Louis.
President Cleveland had not up until
this evening given out the exact date
of his departure for "Grny Gables''
but it is surmised that he is anxious to
get away from the capitol and that be
will leave for that place in few days
or as soon as is possible.
Washington has already begun to
assume vacation air and sigh OF
relief seems to be the common expires
sion.

Scene at the Opening Of Republican
Convention at st, Louis.
Liberal Extracts from Chairman Fair

Committees Named.

Convention Hall, St. Louis, June 16.-The
first day of the convention opened with
uncouded skies and with the prospect of
extremely hot weather.
Although the convention was not to be
called to order till noon, the streets in
the vicinity of the hall were thronged
for two hours before that time with
strangers, who had come to the city to
witness what they could of the grand
spectacle, and who naturally drifted to-
ward the auditorium: but the doors We're
closed to all persons, including delegates
and alternates, until the time should ar
rive for their official opening.
Arrangement of State Delegations.
There were few indications in the hall
OF the location to be occupied by the va
rious delegations The row of seats i'm
medately fronting the presidents chair
WIS assigned to the state of Maine, and
the two rows back of that to the state
of Massachusetts. Next behind Massa-
chusctts came four rows assigned to the
state of New York. Back of those were
assignments for the states of Michigan
and Wisconsin. The chairs in the extreme
back rows were marked off for the dele
gates from the territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia. That disposed of the
first section Immediately fronting the
chair of the presiding officer
With the exception of Iowa and Kan
sas to which back rows of the next sec
ton on the wight were assigned, and of
Alabama, which had the front row of
that section, there were no other indica-
lions in sight of where the delegations
from the other states were to be located;
but, as the time passed on, similar iron
rods, bearing tin placards with the name
OF the state painted in white letters on
q blue ground, were placed in position.
At II o'clock assignments We're COM
pleted for all the states. In the section

connuentIy; ana 1t is ror MS to meet their
expectations; it is for us to give them these
candidates upon whom their hearts have
conferred, and to give them clear, straight
forward, emphatic expression of our po-
ltfcal faith. The republican party is
party OF convictions; and it has written it's
convictions in the history of the republic
with the pen and the sword; with it the
supreme question always has been not
what is merely polite but what is ever
lastinsly right.
Republican Legislation.
For third of century," he contin-
ued, prior to the advent of the present
democratic administration, we operated
under laws enacted by the republican
party. All great measures concerning the
tariff and the currency originated with it.
Under the operation of honest tariff and
honest money republican laws the coun-
try grew in wealth and power beyond pre-
cedent. We easily outstripped all other
powers in the commercial race. On No
vember s, 1892, there was work for every
hand and bread for every mouth We had
reached high water mark labor received
higher wages than ever, and capital was
profitably and securely employed. The
national revenues were sufficient to meet
our obligations and leave surplus in the
treasury. Foreign and domestic trade
were greater in volume and value than
they had ever been. Foreign balances

is changed. The cause is not hard to seek

the government were to be democratic.

Speaking of the Wilson bill Mr. Fair
banks said that 1t was lacking in the
primary purpose Of a revenue measure,
failing to provide adequate revenue t.
meet the requirements of the government
The deficiency, said he, grows day by day
lmpairing foreign credit and making Co
nestle capital insecure. He charged the
Wilson law with marked sectional favor
itism, referring especially to the free
wool clause. He referred to reciprocity
as one of the highest achievements in
American craftsmanship. Then, too, the
substitution of ad valorem for specific
duties came liz for a heavy scoring-"open-
ing the way for systematic wholesale
frauds upon the treasury and producers
and employees of the country"
A Sharp Contrast
"All this" Mr.. Fairbanks said, twas in
sharp contrast with the republican record.
Our tariff taws not only raised revenue,
Int they protected our domestic industries;
they impartlally protected the farmer and

Chester,


There was large crowd in attend
ance at the old settlers, meeting last
Saturday. Everything passed off
very quietly and pleasant and all
seemed to be enjoying themselves.
The Shakespeareanclub entertain
ed an overfull house very pleasantly
for little over an hour. 1t is reported
that their receipts were about sixty
dollars in all. Their acting was very
good and their music between acts
was fine.
Children's day was observed here in
the usual manner. The church WAS
prettily and tastefully decorated. The
children did their parts well. Mr..
Bowder spoke few strong tone
words on the building of character in
his usual happy manner. There is
always more of o crowd than the
church can hold and many are OBJ
liged to go away disappointed.
Chester needs larger church privi-
leges very much.
Mr.. Hill gave lecture here Mon

week the Epworth League conven-

There were many bright faced en-.

county. The convention was very in
teresting and full of good and noble
thoughts, What mighty work the
young people of our land have to do
What a mighty work the young
people of our land have to do, and
what force they are when all of the
different societies join hand in hand
and use their best energies for tile

convention will be stepping stone
to better and more earnest WORK by
our own League and by all in attend
ance.
