national convention at Chicago, as fol-

Smith, ex-United States Senator Rufus
Blodgett, ex-State Chairman Allan Nc
Dermott and ex-Judge E. A. Talbert.
The platform adopted declared
strongly for gold money standard and
warmly endorsed the administration of
President Cleveland. The fact that
Cleveland has not expressed himself as
willing to accept the nomination was
the only thing that prevented an effort
TO instruct the delegates for his renom-
ination. No effort was made to instruct
the delegates. but much enthusiasm
was evoked by the chairman's mention
In his speech of the name OF Ex-Governor
Russell of Massachusetts,.
The platform adopted opens with a
declaration upon the currency question
as follows: I'VE are in favor of a firm,
unvarying maintenance of the present
gold standard. We are opposed to the
free coinage of silver at any ratio and
to the compulsory purchase of silver

A Com mission similar to Our Grand jury

WASHINGTON, Nov 25.-State depart
ment authorities affect to be wholly
unconcerned over the reports that the
Competitor prisoners have been tried
in an Havana prison by drum head
court martial despite the protests of
the United States consul general.
because they declare the special
dispatches of the newspapers which
published the reports have hitherto
been so uniformly unreliable for the
reason that the purported information
is so totally at variance with the
facts already reported To- the
department. AS Secretary Oh
ney understands the case there
has been no court martial of
the Competitor prisoners, but in ac-
cordance with law a commission sim
liar to our grand jury has been for
some time engaged in investigating the
Competitor incident, its sole function
being to bring an indictment upon
which a subsequent court martial trial
can be held. This commission some
weeks ago took dispositions OF the
prisoners
1t Is pointed out that under the law
for public order promulgated in Hav-
ana some months ago, it is absolutely
essential that counsel shall be allowed
to prisoners on trial. and that there
shall be no secrecy in the proceedings.
Under the protocol of our treaty with
Spain there likewise is provision for
publicity in trials and for full repre-
sentation of accused by counsel
1t is believed, in view of these pro-
visions of law, that the authorities at
Havana would not make such a fa-
grant breach of law
From further inquiries il is apparent
that the report concerning the Com
petltor prisoners are at least based on a
misconception of the nature OF the pres
ent proceedings. They have not vet
been placed on trial in the general
sense of the word, the facts being
that the Spanish authorities are max
ing an examination of the Competitor
eases similar TO that provided
for under our grand jury system.

From Spanish sources il is learned
that there is no intention o. dealing

harsh or unjust manner.
