FOR MKINLEY AND FREE SILVER



Two to BE InseDnrabic Twins.
SHERIDAN, Wyo., May l5.-McKinley and
free silver were declared inseparable tWins
by the republican convention today. The
committee on resolutions had warm ses-
sion, lasting until midnight. The platform
as finally arranged is intended to meet the
wants of all factions and therefore satisfies
none.
The convention was called to order at 1890
a. m. and the resolutions were adopted with
out change.
The Wyoming delegation to st. Louis is
compoeed of William Vandevanter, b. b.
Brooks B. f. Fowler Otto Gramm. j. C.
Davis and C. C. Hamlin; alternates, H. G.
Nickerson, NJ. C. Barrow, w. II. Fitzpatrick,
w. f. Britain, w. j. Thomb and j. II. Pyck-
man. The delegates were instructed to sup
port Chairman Vandevanter for a place on
the national committee and William McKin-
ley for president.
The financial plank in full Is as follows:
We reaffirm allegiance to the principles of
bimetallism as eaunciated In the republican
state platform adopted at Casper in 1894; we
commend the record of our senators and
representative in congress in making these
principles and we instruct our delegates to
the St Louis convention to take like action
when the financial plank OF the platform of
their convention is being made.

How south Dakota Democrats Will

How South Dakota Democrats VIII
Conduct Themselves mt Aberdeen.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 15.-(Special)
The democratic county convention will be
held in this city Saturday. There will be
no contest. All factions of the democrats
are united on Judge John f. Garland for
delegate to Chicago, and he will be unani-
mously endorsed. 1t is also understood that
all the counties in this judicial circuit
will endorse him and that he will receive
unanimous election at Aberdeen. The
money question will not be touched. Ad-
vices from the Black Hills state that there
will be no opposition to the election of Ma
tional Committeeman j. M. Woods for the
Seventh circuit and of w. r. Steele from
the Eighth S. II. Culver and True Child
are the contestants from the Fifth circuit
the former being a sound money man and
the latter a silver advocate. County con-
ventions so far held indicate that Culver
will be elected, having Brown, Marshall
and Day counties with him, while Child will
get Sphinx and a part of Beadle. In the
Fourth circuit Sylvan Winter and G.. II.
House. both Of Brule county, are the can
didates, the latter silver man, and the
indications are that Winter will carry the
county, in which case he will be the dele
gate, as there are no other candidates. The
results in the First, Third and Sixth dis
tricts are yet in doubt, but it is likely that
the Third will elect sound money man,
while the other two will be for silver. This
will make the delegation to Chicago stand
six to two for sound money. 1t is not
will be raised in the convention. The lead
ers say that the policy will be not to adopt
a platform and thus to leave the delegates

.wEyLER.s POSITION rs UNCERTAIN.
Spanish General Thinks He Can stay
I'm Cuba with Reinforcement.


I'm Cuba with hRcinforccmcnts.
Copyright, 1896, by Press Publishing Company
MADRID, May 15.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)--I am able to
state that the Spanish government contem-
plates sending to Cuba 1000 men in October,
after the raiay season is over, with a view
to making fresh efforts in the autumn to
crush the insurrection. Captain General
Weyler believes he can hold on during the
summer with the aid of the $4,000 men that
have been sent out since January.
In consequence Of certain articles that
have appeared In La Epoca during the past
three days the Madrid press and political
circles are discussing the probability of Spain
getting some moral and even material as
sistance from European powers, especially
France and Russia, but in diplomatic circles
I hear on high authority. there is not the
slightest foundation for such reports.
Spanish military papers in Madrid are
warmly taking up the idea of denouncing the
treaty Of 1895 and the protocol of 1877,
though in official circles, l am assured. no
such idea has ever been harbored. Very
significant today are articles in Ell Impair
cial and Ell Liberal, frankly stating that
matters cannot go on as hitherto, because
the Spanish people will ask for peace or
some decisive solution of the relations of
Spain with her colony and with the United
States rather than prolong hopeless, costly
and bloody struggle, in which months pass
without decisive operations
Latest kilograms from Havana report that
General Weyler is now combining his oper-
ations to check the advance of Maxine Go
mez who is marching westward at the head
of 10, 900 insurgents.

Indiana Legislative Apportionment t
Act knocked Out.

Act knocked out.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 151-The state su-
preme court today reversed the legislature
apportionment act Justice McCabe in con-
cluding the ruling said: "Our conclusion
is that the act of 1885 is the only law that
has not been repealed or adiudged unconsti-
tutional under which an election of men,
bers to the legislature can be held in No
vembar. 1896, and that the appellee has no
right to invoke the powers of the courts to
declare it unconstitutional. and that there
fore the complaint did not state facts suffi-
cient to constitute a cause for action, and
that the superior court erred in overruling
the demurrer thereto. The judgment is
reversed with instructions to sustain the
demurrer to The complaint"
There is a dissenting opinion by Monks
and separate concurring opinion by Jordan,
who holds that the judgment should be
versed and the lower court directed to sus-
tain the demurrer to the complaint for want
of equity.
The discussion leaves the law in force,
the one enacted by a democratic legisla-
ture in 1885, and the election of members
to the legislature next November will be
held under it. The question of a gerryman-
der being the law in force was not entered
into by the court.
