State Convention of the Colorado

State Convention of the Colorado
Silver Party Meets in Denver.
DENVER, Colo, September 9.-The
stare convention Of the Silver party
met IN the Tabor opera house today
and discussed at some length the ques-
ton of fusion. 1t was decided to ap-
point a. committee of eleven on con-
ference with the other conference COM
mittee. The convention passed reso-
lutions endorsing Bryan and Sewall,
electors TO be named by the fusion
conference committee. 1t endorsed
Senator Teller for reelection but de-
clined to endorse Representatives Sha-
froth and Bell. No state ticket was
named, and the convention adjourned
to meet tomorrow morning to hear
a report from the conference COM
mittee.
The silver Republican state conven-
ton held two sessions in tine Broadway
theatre, but accomplished little. The
delay has been. caused by the managers
awaiting the action of the Populists
in Pueblo.
An effort will be made to secure a
meeting Of the conference committees
conigllt at the Brown Palace hotel, the
Democratic and Silver party commit
tees being ready, but the Populist dele
cation did not arrive and the silver
Republicans have not yet selected
their committee. The situation is most
confusing tonight

PLUCKY BANK MESSENGER
Tackled by Two Men, He Helps to


Tackled by Two Men, He Helps to
Secure One, HIT the Other Escapes.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Henry Hide
brant, 10 years old, confidential bank
messenger of George R. Ingler & Co.,
brewers, was held up by two men at
midday today and robbed of 1888 in
cash and &c. 900 in checks. One of the
robbers is in custody, but the other
escaped
Today's deposit of money and checks
was in two cigar boxes, wrapped in
stout manila paper and carefully tied
up. 1t was Hildebrant's custom to
go home to his dinner before going to
the bank, and today, on reaching the
house, Hildebrant opened the front
door with his latch key and started
upstairs. Half way up the first flight
he met two men coming down and
moved close to the wall to let them
pass. AS he did so, one presented a
revolver, while the other snatched the
package containing the money and ran.
The man with the revolver held 1t
close to Hildebrant's face until the
street door shut behind the fugitive,
and then struck IIildebrant across the
side of the head with the pistol, and,
kicking him in the abdomen, started
to escape.
Hildebrant, who is sturdy and
plucky, tottered downstairs and, al
though weak and dazed, seized him
and a hand-to-hand conflict followed.
The two struggled to the front door,
which the robber threw open, Hide
brant shouting for help, while the
robber began to beat him over the
head with the revolver. Policeman
Owens saw the two fighting on the
street at the door and arrested the
man, who proved to be James Dalton,
20 years old. He was an iron worker
from Buffalo.

CARLISLE ON MANNING.
The Former Replies to Some Rather
Pertinent Questions.

The Former Replies to Some Rather
Pertinent Questions.
NEW YORK, September 9.-JosAph
c. Hendrix, president of the National
Union bank. has referred to Secretary
Carlisle during the past week several
letters from western correspondents.
They stated that Daniel Manning,
when secretary of the treasury had
stopped the run on the treasury gold
reserve by threatening to pay all de-
mands by greenback holders 80 per
cent gold and 10 per cent silver. The
letters say that the secretary threat
ened to 50 increase the percentage of
silver that at the end of ten days he
would be paying all in silver.
Mr. Hendrix has made public the
following reply from Mr.. Carlisle
Washington, D. c., Sept. 4, 1896.
MY Dear Sir-Your favor of August
81, inquiring whether it is true. that
Mr.. Manning, White secretary of the
treasury, redeemed or threatened to
redeem United States notes and bonds
of either in silver, is just received and
in response I have the honor to say that
the statement in relation to that sub
ject is without foundation whatever.
Mr.. Manning never at any time paid
or threatened 10 pay any part of the
coin obligations of the United States
in silver when the holders of such
obligations demanded gold He was an
earnest and consistent advocate OF the
maintenance of the gold standard of
value, and during his service as secre-
taGy of che treasury pursued exactly
the same course in regard to the pay
ment OF United States obligations that
We're pursued by all his predecessors
after the redemption of the specie paw
ments has been pursued by all his sue
ceSSorS in Office.
