THE SILVER CONVENTION.



by A-cclamation
ST. LOUIS, July 25,-The real business
of the silver convention, which has hereto
fore been occupied in killing time by
speechmaking, was brought to an issue at
yesterday afternoons session, the final
one. At 1865 p. m. Chairman St John
raped for order and introduced the
Rev. Mr.. Hagerty, who made the opening
prayer. AT the conclusion of the invoca-
ton G. w Baker was called upon for a
report from the committee appointed to
confer with Populists, He said that-the
time was too short TO reach a satisfactory
conclusion. There were not more h one
hundred men in the conference and only
two hours in which to discuss the methods
to be pursued. He read the resolution
which was adopted at the conference, as
follows:
Resolved, That it Is the sense Of this
conference committee that n union of all
the forces including the Peoples party,
silver men and free silver Democrats Is
expedlent and should be effected at once
for the purpose OF achieving victory for
the advancement Of free silver In Novem-
ber.n
A motion to adopt the platform was
made. Mr.. Hess, Of Illinois, objected, and
a wurdy wranCle followed. II ended in
the adoption Of the platform.
Mr.. Page, OF Nebraska, moved hat the
convention proceed to the nomination OF
a presidential candidate. II prevailed.
General Warner said II would be neces-
sary TO nominate a candidate, rather than
indorse, in order TO avoid some on the Pc
| Culiarities of state ballot laws.
r. f. Little, Uf Kansas, nominated Will
liam J, Bryan, Of Nebraska There were
"A number OF other speeches seconding the
nomination, and then Bryan was named
by acclamation, there being a scene of In
tense enthusiasm following the vote,
The same program was gone through
IN the nomination OF Sewall for vice presi-
dent. The same enthusiasm was mani
tested when the prearranged program had
been announced, and then the silver con,
vention adjourned sine die

MORRISON, Col, July PA cloudburst
IN Bear Creek canon, just above here, at 8
O'Clock last night brought down a solid
wall of water ten feet high which not only
did great damage to property, but caused
the loss Of fifteen to twenty lives
The known dead are Mrs, Miller and
three children and u party of campers, if
tevn or eighteen in number, who We're liv-
ing In a small house just below town.
Viola Foster, q little Denver girl who was
with this party, was saved by people who
heard her cries.
This much has been learned on this side
on the creek, but az all bridges are gone
and the water is still high and swift,
nothing can be learned from the other
side, Searching parties are out on both
sides of the stream looking for bodies Of
dead and injured It is feared there has
been more loss Of life, as there there were
cores of people camping along both sides
of the creek, both above and below town.
Wires are all down.

OUR Democratic friends in this county are
much disturbed over the financial plank to
be adopted mt the county convention. They
must repudiatc either the national or state
platform, and many are Of the belief that the
declaration Of the convention will be in line
with the latter or a straddlc. The Evening
Chronicle, recognized as the party org,tn, has
come out tiat-fuotod against free silver, while
the other Democratic papers are lukewarm on
that question. However, there is trouble
ahead for the Democracy, no matter what the
platform contains.

Hoke smith for Bryan.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Secretary Of the
Interior Hoke Smith remains firm In his
determination to vote for Bryan and Sew
all, and the question at once arises whether
he can thus become an open defender Of
the platform of the Democratic party and
remain a member Of President Cleveland's
cabinet. No answer to this question is
yet obtainable, but there is the highest
authority for saying that Mr.. Smiths
friends have no idea that his political
course will lead TO his resignation.

Tax and Postal Savings Banks.
The platform of principles adopted by
the Peoples party convention is in sub
stance as follows:
The Peoples party, assembled In national
convention, reaftirms its allegiance to the prin-
cples declared by the ounde Of the republic.
and also to the fundamental principles Of lust
government, as enunciated In the platform of
the party in 1892. We recognize that through
the connivaDse of the money power our Hber-
ties have been basely surrendered by our pub
lie servants TO corporate ~monopolies. The in
huence of European money changers has been
more potent in shaping Legislation than the
voice of the American people. Executive power
and patronage have been used TO corrupt our
legislatures and defeat the win Of the people,
and plutocracy has been enthroned upon the
ruins of democracy To restore the govern
ment intended by the fathers, and for the well
fare and prosperity Of this and future genera
tons, we demand the establishment Of an
economic financial system which shall make US
masters Of our own affairs ald Independent of
European control by the adoption Of the fol.
owing declaration;
We demand a national money safe and sound,
issued by the general government only, with
out the intervention OF banks Of issue, TO be a
fun legal tender for all debts, public and pri,
vate, so that a just, equitable and efficient
means Of distribution direct TO the people and
through the lawful disbursing officers Of the
government may be provided.

THE MYSTERY UNSOLVED.
NO GLUE YET TO THE MURDERER
OF ANDREW M'MANUS FOUND.
ONE OF THE SUSPECTS INSANE.
TWO MORE ARRESTS HAVE
BEEN MADE BY THE POLICE.

The mystery surrounding the death
OF Andrew McManus, the Philadelphia
railroad man, whose body was found
floating in the Christiana Tuesday
morning, is still unsolved, although
the police and state detectives have
been busy as beavers, and have un-
dOubtedly discovered considerable rel
ative to his actions on the night of his
death.
That he was killed by a blow on the
head, and not by drowning, is believed
to be certain, but the mystery is who
inflicted the blow, and why the body
was not robbed Of the money found on
it.
The two young men, William Zwald
and James Clark, who gave the alarm
to the officers and who are now in GUS
tody on suspicion of knowing more
than they will tell, have been kept un-
der constant surveillance and have
been closely questioned by the officers.
1t is not believed that the two men are
guilty of any completely in the muir
der, If murder it was. In fact, many
believe that the two men were what
is known as 'rum-dumb," from a long
course of dissipation, and that consid-
erable of their story is based on
Imagination.
Last evening Charles Fletcher and
William Baldwin We're arrested. They
were sleeping on the bundles of lath
with Zwald and Clark, but say they
did not see or hear any one go over
board.
Clark yesterday went insane, the re-
suit of being deprived of liquor, and
his rawlings last night were pitiful. He
pleaded with the police to let Zwald
alone, as he was innocent.
Violet Gibbs and Mary Lizzie Har-
ris, two colored women of unsavory
reputation, were examined yesterday
by the authorities. 1t is understood
that McManus was with them the
night before he came to his death. The
inquest will be begun tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon the body of the
unfortunate man was buried in New
Cathedral Cemetery, that being the re-
quest of Mrs. Mcbride, the daughter.
