ing of 600 Republicans in this city this

to the silver question and made an argu-

He reviewed the coinage laws of this
country, and showed that wages will
buy more now than they did in 1878.
He alleged that the wage earners are
the greatest creditor class in the coun-
try instead of being a debtor class. He
closed with an appeal for the restora-
ton of the revenue policy which made
the United States prosperous for many
years of which the embodiment and
highest exempler is William Mckinley.
Congressman Apsley addressed a
crowded audience at Colorado City this
evening. A Mckinley Club of $50 mem

STERLING MORT0N'S LETTER.
REGRETS HE CANNOT ATTEND

Hopes the Country May Avoid the
Disgrace and DishOnOr of Going
to Silver Basis.

DES MONIES Qa), Aug. 22-L. NJ.
Martin, National Committeeman for
Iowa in the sound money Democratic
organization, is in receipt of a letter
from j. Sterling Moron, which Iowa
sound money Democrats are disposed
to take as a declaration that Mr. Nor
ton is willing to be nominated for
President by the sound money Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Morton was asked to attend
the Iowa sound money convention next
week. He was unable to do so, conse-
qrently he wrote the letter 1t is con-
sidered by many as an expression of
Willingness to run for the Presidency
and at least an expression indicating
that the national Administration can be
expected to support the nominee.
The letter is as follows:
Il have your highly appreciated invi-
tation on behalf of the Provisional State
Committee of the sound money Demo-
Gratis of Iowa to address the National
Democratic State Convention in Des
Molnes, Wednesday, August 10Th, and
regret exceedingly that owing to cir
cumstances over which l have no con-
troll / am not permitted to accept the

always sixteen ounces of silver instead
OF one ounce of gold when they collect
their dues from those who have pur-
chased their products. Why are they
unwilling to accept thirty-two ounces
of silver instead of sixteen for one
ounce of gold? Dealers in bullion will
give only one ounce of gold for thirty

The Convention Will Nominate Demo-
cratic Candidates.
No indication Given by Cleveland
That He is Hostile to the NOmina-
tiOn of a National Democratic
Ticket-TeIegrams Indicate That
Most of the States Will Send
Delegates and That the Capacity
of the Hotels VIII be Fully Tested.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 22.-Chairmau
Bynum of the National Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee this morning set at
rest the rumor that President Cleve-
land had written him a letter in which
he opposed the idea O. putting a ma
tional Democratic ticket in the field
and urged the Endorsement of Mckinley.
Mr.. Bynum said: Any rumor to the
effect that Mr.. Cleveland has written to
me or has in any way indicated any
indisposition toward the nomination of
ticket is utterly without foundation.
Furthermore, this convention will,
without any manner of doubt, nomi-
nate Democratic candidate for Pres
ident and Vice President upon Demo-
cratic platform. The delegates have
been elected and are being elected un-
Ger call contemplating that purpose,
and every scrap of information or COM
munication that we have indicates that
this will be done''
Concerning the attitude of President
Cleveland toward the movement, Sec
retary Wilson this afternoon made this
statement of the view taken at head
quarters:
Mr.. Cleveland has never given any
leaders of the sound money movement
know, concerning the convention at In
dianapolis. They do not believe, that
anyone is authorized to speak for the
President But certainly there has. been
no antagonism from Mr.. Cleveland or
his friends, and anyone observing the
situation can plainly see that Senator
Villas, Senator Caffery. Senator Palmer,
Senator Gray and such gentlemen are,
to put it mildly, not unfriendly to Mr.
Cleveland. In fact, they are closely
identified with him.
They are in favor of a third ticket
why should not Mr.. Cleveland be fa-
vorable to the sound money movement.
The Chicago platform seeks to I1ntsa csiss
his personal integrity and repudiates
his political Administration, and Gov
ernor Stone in his Madison Square Gar
den speech saw fit to denounce him as
traitor. The newspapers that are be-
hind Mr.. Bryan are steadily engaged in
the same kind of work. Mr.. Cleveland
and his friends are not of the makeup
that kisses the hand that smites them.''
The New York people to-day engaged
quarters at the Bates House for a full
delegation of seventy-two members and
five extra people. The Maryland peo-
pie also wired for quarters to-day.
Their delegation will be headed by ex..
Governor William Pinckney and ex-
Congressman Isaac Eainor. Telegrams
We're received from North Carolina,
South Carolina and New Mexico stating
that arrangements have been made for
State Conventions and the selection of
full delegations. Applications afor
tickets to the convention are pouring in
upon the Executive Committee in such
numbers as to indicate a much larger
attendance of spectators than was ex-
pected, and it now seems certain that
the hotel capacity of the city will be
fully tested.

more than these men who deal in the
precious metals? But if legislation can
create an artificial value in silver for
monetary purposes, why cannot it also
create an artificial value in silver for
the arts?
IF the free and unlimited coinage of
silver had been adopted by the Gov
ernment of the United States and a
silver dollar containing fifty-three cents
worth of silver could be made to float
at parity with gold dollar, why can
not a silver watch be made, by statute,
just as valuable as q gold watch cost
ing twice as much? If you can put
value into silver for monetary purposes
you can put value into silver for art
purposes-for plate and for jewelry-
with equal facility, by simple be it
enacted of Congress.
Hoping that the discredit, disgrace,
dishonor and dishonesty of going to a
silver basis in the United States may be
averted, and predicting that, if it is not
those who may have brought this dis
aster upon the country will be the
worse sufferers, the most renounced by
their countrymen and the most despised
by their own followers, / remain, very

Ii HUNG CHANG COMING.
HE Is SPEEDING TOWARD OUR
COUNTRY ON THE ST. LOUIS.
Thousands Gathered at the Wharf tC
Bid Him Good By and
Cheered Him.

| LONDON, Aug. 22.-Li HUG Chang
took a special train for Southampton
to-day, where he embarked on the st.
Louis for New York.
An official informed a representative
! of the Associated Press that the main
object of the Chinese statesman's tour
was to sound the European Govern
ments on the subject of an increase in
| the custom tariff of China, Russia, Ger
many and France. 1t is pointed out
that the Anglo Chinese treaty expires
in two years, so it is to Great Britain
| interest to make the best terms possi-
BILE now instead of waiting until the ex-
| piration of the treaty.
The results of Lii Hung Chang's tour
much depend upon his action on his re-
| turn to Pekin. His first step will be to
write a report of his travels for the En-
peror, and it is probable that the En-
bassador will then retire to private life.
His reply will be distributed broad
cast throughout China, and Ii, having
retired, will be regarded as having
made representations quite disinterest-
edly. IT, however, he remains in pub
lie life many of the Chinese will regard
his suggestions as having been made for
the purpose of obtaining fresh power and
regaining his old position. The En-
peror of China, personally, the Asso-
ciated Press is informed. is favorable to
the extension of the railway system of
China, and it is felt that if Lii Hung
Chang retires the Emperor will act upon
his suggestions, and it is quite possible
that the railway extension will be be-
gun with a foreign railroad board sim
liar to the foreign customs commission
The ambassador and the members of
his suite were driven to the station in
four royal coaches. A large number of
friends gathered around the railway
car occupied by the distinguished Chi
naman and remained until the train
moved away. Lii Hung Chang shook
hands and conversed with everybody in
the group. Just before the train started
Lii lighted a long silver -tubed pipe.
which he began quaffing with evident
satisfaction AS the train steamed away
he was still smoking, at the same time
responding to the farewell cheers of his
friends by smiling, bowling and waving
his hands.
When Lii Hung Chang and his party
arrived at Southampton they immedi-
ately went on board the steamship ST.
Louis, which became the scene of a gath
ering of a most genial character The
drawing-room of the ST. Louis was con-
verted into a great reception hall, and
the Chinese ambassador held a levee
which lasted some time Indeed, it is
not within recollection that any visitor
to England has received so grand a
send-off. The Mayor of Southampton,
United States Consul Kinkead and
other Consuls stationed at Southamp-
ton and local dignitaries made farewell
speeches, all of which were addressed
directly to the Chinese statesman, and
as the steamship was leaving her dock
the ambassador and party were cheered
by thousands of people who had gath
cred on the wharf to bid good-by to the
visitors. The weather was clear and
sunny.

money issue is the man who works with
his hands. The workingman, whether
in the factory or on the farm, is the man
who will suffer most If we should have
fifty-cent dollar, and. he is going to
realize this. Our factional differences
will not interfere in the least with the
polling of tremendous Republican
vote. The revolt of decent Democrats
against Bryan has reached most re-
markable proportions"
Hon. S. H. Clay Evans of Tennessee,
who has been making speeches for Nc
Kinley in Indiana, is expected at head
quarters next Monday. In a letter to
Perry Heath received to-day, he says:
We are having some fine fun in Ten
nessee just now at the expense of the
Democracy. The Governor has had to
call a special session of the Legislature
to meet on September 9TH for the pur-
pose of raising funds-raising the tax on
1 he Il
ing of the January interests, ETC. He
intimates there may be a deficiency Of
S5C0,000. Last April in our State con-
vention l made tart sort of a speech
and jumped upon the Democracy,
kicked it, so to speak. and predicted
deficiency of from $500, 900 to 100000
by January 1st next. OF course the
Democracy denounced me as usual"
Summarizing this weeks work, the
Railway Age says that there have
been organized in the last six days, or
will have been organized by tonight,
sixty-six railway mems sound money
clubs, with an aggregate membership
of about 10000 voters. Previous to this
week clubs had been reported from
twenty nine points, with 10000 MEM
bership. The paper declares the rail-
way men of the country will cast S00,-
600 votes for Mckinley on election day.
