IRELAND
Appeals to American Citizens for
Social Order, Prosperity, Etc.

Free Silver Means Ruin and Loss to Al1---The
Chicago Platform Revolutionary.
SO AM NOT unwilling in the crisis through which the country is
now passing to speak for the integrity of the nation, for social
) order, for the prosperity of the people, for the honor of
. America, and the perrnanency of free institutions. am a
. citizen of the country, concerned in all the interests of the ma
ton, subject to all the responsibilities of citizenship. To be silent
when words of mine may be of some profit to the people would be
cowardice, would be crime.
..rhe movement which had its expression in the Chicago convcn-
ton, and which now seeks by means OF popular suffrage to cnthronc
itself in the capital of the nation is, in logical effect. against the
United States. 1t is secession-the secession of 1861. which our
soldiers believed they had CONSIGNED to eternal death at Appomattox.
but which again demands recognition from the American people.
The declaration in the Chicago platform has and can have no other

THE FOURTH IN VENEZUELA
A Bronze Column to Be Erected to Amer
can Heroes,
The Friendly Feeling for the United
States Shown by Presi-
dent Crespo.

Senior Andrade, jr., son OF the Venezuelan
minister, has returned from a month in
venezuela. He says the spirit of friend
snip Tor this country Is very marked The
American colony at Caracas has grown of
iate 10 large proportions, and United States
capital Is being extensively invested
among the Americans president Crespo
is much liked, and the most cordial rela-
uons exist between them The syndicat tie
OF capitalists from this country which Sc
cureo large concessions along the Orinoco
is pushing its work, locating plants and
assembling machinery at the most desirable
points. Mr.. Donald Grant. bead of the
syndicate, returned with AIr. Andrade, at
ter visit of inspection.
Inc sentiment in the interior is shown by
the determination of Governor Andrade of
the state Of Miranda to erect column a t
the state capital on July 1 in honor of
the Americans who aided Venezuela in
no o,'s;s. me governor is brother of the
with that of the general government which
VIII dedicate bronze column on July to
American heroes.
MIR. Andrade says that President Crespo's
recent decree extending amnesty to all po-
ntlcal refugees Is expected to bring i'm
portant results. 1t applies not only to
those connected with the last uprising but
to the many prominent Venezuelans living
in Paris. New York and elsewhere. They
have been among the foremost men of the
country In the past, and President Crespo'. :
effort to get them back has given much
public satisfaction. Venezuelan consuls
have been instructed to pay the expenses
OF the return trip of the refugees as a
means of encouraging the movement.
The officials in Caracas are calmly await
ing the determination of the Venezuelan
boundary commission at Washington, and
are confident that the Venezuelan position
will be sustained All local agitation and
belligerent talk has ceased pending this
decision.

THE TWO-THIRDS RULE
Silver Men Said to Be Ready to Reject 1t
at Chicago

one or the most interesting Issues of the
Chicago convention will be made upon the
proposition to reject the old rule by which
two-thirds vote IS required to nominate
1t Is well understood by this time that the
silver men will be in the majority in the
convention, very handsome majority at
that The margin, however will not be suf-
hcient, 1t is believed, to make two-thirds of
the convention, the vote necessary to NOM
mate if the old rules are enforced.
The silver men will therefore find them
selves In position to dominate the con-
vention, to appoint all the committees, to Sc
lect the platform and yet unable to NOM
mate the candidate to stand upon the plat
form, under the rules that have prevailed
for half a century or more.
With This status before them the sill
yer men have one alternative. They can
Change the rules SO as to provide that a
majority can nominate, as Is done in the
republican convention. But when they pro-
pose this action there will Immediately
arise the cry from the gold men that they
are subvertlng all the precedents and
usases of the party; that they are upset
ting the established rule which has pre-
vailed for years, and are doing 1T in Or
der to obtain possession of the convention
1t will be lively howl that will be raised
by the gold men. and one that will probably
be recognized as possessing some strength
IL lS Neiu ny silver men tnat the cOnNSn-
ton is not bound by the rules of any pre-
vious convention. Every convention adopts
Its owl rules before entering upon its
work. The two-thirds rule will not be in
force at Chicago unless adopted there by
vote of that convention. The gold men,
however. claim. the rule to be as firmly es-
tablished as any of the Evolutionary prin-
ciples of the party, and hence its rejection
Will be. as they assert, departure from
democratic custom.
1t is generally conceded now that the
gold men will make their whole fight upon
this point. 1t is their only ground of ad-
vantage. Driven before the overwhelming
majority Of the silver delegates, they will
make their last stand behind this bulwark
of established usage Of the party. They
will decry vigorously the attempt of the
opposition to override the established man
ual of tactics under which the party has
deployed upon many battle field and will
appeal to the party fealty of the delegates
to uphold the old methods.
1t is known, however, that the silver men
will be firm upon this point. They will be
in control Of everything except the power
to nominate, and will not, under the exist
Ing state of affairs, emasculate themselves
by adhering to what is at best, as they
claim. usage of the party and not a prin-
ciple. They say it would be folly to expect
the silver men to yield their victory after
having fought for 1t in every primary in
the south and west for the last three
months.
