THE CHICAGO CONVENT ON

Now that Georgia and North Caro-.
lima have taken action, the list of demo.
cratic state conventions is completed,
and it is now possible to complete the
makeup of the Chicago convention
with ONE accuracy. The convention
consists of $50 delegates. OF these,
SAG have been elected in opposition to
free coinage and 585 are in favor Of
free coinage. The strength OF the
free-coinage wing of the party is even
a little stronger than these figures
show, as some scattering gold-standard
delegates will be bound up by the unit
rule, and their votes will be turned in
on the free coinage side. The Michi-
gan delegation stands fifteen for silver
and thirteen for gold. The state CON
vention instructed for gold and adopted
the unit rule, but the silver men have
contests in two districts now repre-
scented by the silver men. IL is posi-
BILE that the convention may create a
silver majority in that delegation and
turn it over to the silver column. II
they adopt such methods they a OBJ
tain a two-thirds majority in the con
ventIon, but as the list stands the sill
yer men are a little short OF o two
thirds majority. Lacking such a ma
jority, they will be fully able to shape
the platform as they desire it, but will
not be able to nominate a candidate by
their own strength.
The gold men put up a poor fight.
They were greatly handicapped by the
the attitude OF President Cleveland.
His failure to declare positively
whether he was a candidate or not en-
abled the silver men to appeal with
great force to the popular prejudice
against a third term. The belief was
widespread that Cleveland was schem-
ing for q third term and the resentment
excited by this was a great help for
the silver men aud q heavy load for
the gold-standard men, who were re-
gardeJ as constituting the ~administra-
zion party. AS a leader, Cleveland
has been the greatest failure 10 Ameri-
can history.

Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, Mo-, Sept. 1.-At a few
minutes past 8 o'clock this morning
fire was discovered in the back room
of Frank Beagles' drug store. The
alarm was sounded but battling against
the elements was of no avail and the
whole business block fronting the rail-
road on Fourth street, in block 4 of
the town, was soon in ashes.
Wilder 6 Pearson's brick building,
on the northwest corner of the block,
is the only business house now stand
ing in the north half of the block.
Eight business firms were tempo
rarily driven out of business or had
their stocks destroyed. The total loss
is estimated at $4,000, with insurance
to the amount of only $4,000. The
individual loss is as follows:
Frank Beagles, loss on drug stock,
$4,000; insurance $1,000.
Farmers Bank, damaged to the
amount of 5000; no insurance.
j. B. Gregory, Farmers Bank build
ing, $500; no insurance.
G. g. Baker, groceries, loss s2,4Oo;
insurance $500.
W. H. Logan, Beagles drug building
and Baker grocery building, 5000; no
insurance.
G. A. Smith, livery stable, loss $2,-
600; no insurance.
Wilder & Pearson, loss of frame
building aud damage to harness and
stock, $4oO; po insurance.
A. B. Hale, two small frame build
1ngs, $500; no insurance.
H.. L. Ahlfeldt and Bro, hardware,
loss of building $1,000, and stock bad
ly damaged; insurance on building
and stock $4,000.
All the buildings were frame except
the Bank and Ahlfeldt buildings,
which were covered with metal, but
the metallic covering gave them no
protection whatever.
1t is thought that the fire was of in
cendiary origin. While the disaster is
a serious blow to the town if the burnt
district is rebuilt the buildings will be
much more substantial, as it is inside
the fire limits.
The Mexico Fire and Lightning In
surance Company did not have any
risks on the property destroyed.
