in few days, and then keep your eyes
| riveted on the Ex-Governor of the webfoot
State. Pennoyer is the choice of the Ore
gon delegation for the Presidential nomi-
nation, and DR.. MuIlinix will probably
present his name to the convention. Says
the doctor:
I'VE shall preeent to the convention the
maine of Ex-Governor Pennoyer of Oregon.
and We have every confidence that other
States will support him. Governor Pen
noyer is for many reasons the most logical
candidates for the Democrats to put up on
16 to platform. He served two terms
as Governor of the State, both times over
coming large Republican majorities, and
is the frst Governor who broke with the
present National administration on the
question of finance. He is a man of fine
education, great personal magnetism, ad-
mirable executive ability, and is an excel
lentspeaker and writer, mentally and poll
tically head and shoulders above many of
the men who are being pushed forward for
the nomination, and there is no question
but il he should be nominated the Popu-
lists would ratify the nomination. OF
course the fact that he comes from State
clear at one side of the country may mill
tate against his chances, but yet it seems
appropriate that a silver man should be
from reproducing State, and nearly
all OF the silver is mined west of the Rocky
Mountains.
I'm case We are unsuccessful in securing
the nomination of Ex-Governor Pennoyer,"
added DR.. Mullinix, 1--WE shall gladly and
cheerfully support any free-silver candi-
date whom the convention may see fit to
name. We in the West think that free
silver is the only question before the pub
lie. Protection and free trade will cut
very little figure in the campaign. The
main issue is the money question, and to
it we must first pay attention. Any good
free-silver man will receive the votes of
Oregon Democrats, and 1 cannot say that
we have any decided preference between
Bland. Boies or the other prominent can
didates, We are going into the conven-
ton to nominate Pennoyer. Failing in
this, we have no plans except to lend our
heartiest support to the ticket which may
be nominated"
The other members of the Oregon dele
CATION will reach Chicago not later that
July 5, and will be accompanied by a
number of politicians from the Western
State. The headquarters OF the delega-
ton will be at the Palmer House. The
California delegation will be quartered at
the Sherman House. FRANK MCGUIRE.

SENATOR TELLER GREETED.
Says the People Should Not Be De-
priVed of a Metal Intended for
Money Purposes.

OMAHA, NEBR-, June 30.-It having
been announced that Senator Teller
would be at the depot this afternoon for a
short time while on his way to Denver a
large number of people assembled. Men
crowded around him in an earnest way to
see and talk to the man, and in response
10 requests for short address he mounted
box on the depot platform and made a
few remarks to the frienos who Assem- bled
there.
He said the free institutions in this
country could not exist unless the United
States had acontented and prosperous
people and this latter condition could not
exist while the people were idle, hungry
and without money. This country had
been blessed with more gold and silver
than any other country in the world and
he considered it a crime that the peo-
pie should be deprived of the use of one of
those metals by legislation, which the AL
mighty undoubtedly intended to be used
for money purposes.
he considered the money question the
greatest one before the people to-day and
he said the settlement lay with the pro-
dncers. There are 6S,000,00O producers
who have products to sell and they were
virtually interested in the financial ques-
tion and he did not think they would be
content to follow the 2,000 600 bankers and
money-changers who sought to set the
pace in this matter.
After the Senator concluded his re-
marks the crowd gave him three cheers.
Senator Teller will not be present at the
Chicago convention.

CHICAGO. ILL, June 30.-Secretary of
State Henrichsen, mo is one of the Illinois
delegates at large and Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, said
after the Altgeld-Stone conference, when
asked if the Illinois delegation was favor
able to Boies: "Well, we want man who
is friend of labor"
When Teller was suggested the chief
lieutenant of Governor Altgeld remarked !:
mot in thousand years. We want a
Democrat who will get the support of the
Populists and Westerners generally"
1t is reported that Altgeld is to be sup
ported for permanent chairman by the
full Bland strength. In support of this
report Senator Cockrell and Colonel
Charles H. Jones. after meeting, de-
clared their preference for Altgeld, al
though Senator Harris is the choice of the
bimetallic committee.

ALTCELD THE BOSS.
But His Assuming the Whip Hand
May Cause Considerable Trou-
BILE In the Convention

BILE In the Convention.
CHICAGO, ILL, June 30.-The Sherman
House was the center of activity to-day.
1t was in possession of the silver men,
and the great star around which they
moved in their orbits was Governor John
P. Altgeld of Illinois, who is credited with
carrying the State of Illinois in his right
hand vest-pocket. Altgeld is as shrewd
politician as there is in the United States.
He is man who has his own way and
who cares nothing for criticisms, whether
from the press or from individuals. The
Governor looks like a man of that kind.
He is about 51z feet tall, broa
with decided stoop and built like
heavyweight prize-fghter. His compact
round head, thick neck, aggressive Roman
nose, determined mouth and chin and his
closely cropped hair, beard and mustache
give him the appearance of an athlete or
an anarchist. He has taken control of
the Illinois delegation, and through them,
with his own personal influence and fol-
lowing on the outside, he intends to be
dictator of the convention. As he is
known to be firm and pronounced friend
OF silver there is every likelihood that he
will succeed in mis- ambition.
His shrewdness, his audacity and the
irresistible energy of the man have given
the silver people the greatest confidence
in his ability to guard the interests of the
white metal, ana that is the issue for
which they are here. In fact, no other is
sue is even thought of except the financial
one. Yet among the business portion of
the community Governor Altgeld is not

pathy with the railroad strikers of June
and July of last year, and because of his
having turned loose the Raymarket an
archists, who had been sentenced for life in
the Joliet penltentiary for the murder of
several Chicago policemen on the occasion
of the bomb-throwing at the Haymarket
meeting. l saw the Governor to-day and
tried to get him TO commit himself on
politics or on the financial issue, but be
declined at that time to say anything
whatever upon any subject, but changed
his mind later when in better humor.
His thoughts are now wholly occupied
with Governor Altgeld's battle for politi-
cal supremacy, and he does not wish to
leopardiZe his chances or to give his ene-
mics any material for attack through the
columns of the newspapers or otherwise.
He was the leading speaker at the
executive session of the Illinois delegation
in the Sherman house this forenoon and
part of the afternoon. The meeting had
been called for the purpose of laying out
plan of action to be adopted by the Illinois
delegation during the sessions of the con-
vention. The proceedings were kept very
close, but learned that Altgeld, in fiery
speech, urged that the Illinois delegation
and the other friends of silver should as
sumo control of affairs from the very start
and fill all the convention offices with
their friends.
There is to be no compromise with the
enemy. He must be ridden over horse,
foot and dragons. Altgeld pointed out

Those OF US who have been ardent workers
here for international bimetallism have found
ourselves at all points crossed and defeated by
Mr.. Cleveland's actions and Mr.. Cleveland's
emissaries. He sent Mr.. Atkinson over here on
special mission to try and persuade those in
the present Cabinet-such men as Mr. Chaplin
and Mr.. Balfour-tbat they were "cranks" /;
that the concurrent legal tender of the two
metals was impraeticable. Mr.. Balfour's diff
culties within Lord Salisburys Cabinet were in
any case very great; they were made infin-
itely greater by the.ridicule poured upon the
whole project of currency reform by Mr. Cleve-
land, Sterling Morton, Hoke Smith and others.

tlemen were six months ago to be found in
many of our daily newspapers.

that should that party be successful in electing

The countess bent her eye to the
little aperture, and plainly discerned
three figures, all alike, so that one
might be readily taken for the other.
They sat dowr. not two yards from
the tree which sneltered their unsus-
pected watchers.
"Well, Jaques, what news tonight?'
said NJ. Pierre's dry, rasping voice;
"how goes on the cauee?"
"Gloriously, comrade! Paris is all
in ferment, and the fever is spread
ing through the country. What think
you-a great company OF them went
out to that tyrant Louis palace, and
compelled him to consent to some of
the Assembly's requirements. A few
more such riots, and the whole thing is

You are quite sure it is true?" ques-
toned NJ. Pierre cautiously. There
will be no mistake about it?"
Not bit of it. Jaques came direct
from Paris to Frejus. Why, they have
killed half dozen of the aristocratic
upholders already; they are expecting
a general rise every night; the king
himself suspects it, for he attempted to
escape, but they brought him back in
triumph"
"Then our plans may safely go on?"
"To be sure. Make certain of all the
treasure you can; it won't be long be-
fore the whole peasantry will come for
ward to take their share. What harm
in looking out for ours ahead?

The Earl of Elgin, viccroy of India,
arrived ut Baroda last evening on n
visit to the Gaikwas. or native ruler OF
the state. The inhabitants turned out
en- masse to welcome the viceroy. and
to see display of fire works in his
honor The display was given in the
park of the Gaikwas, which was open
to the public. Everything passed Off
without incident of note until the end
of the ceremonies. Then the crowd
made n rush for the park gates which
were so narrow that they soon be-
came jammed with people. Those be-
hind, not knowing the cause of the
delay at the exit. pressed forward un-
til the crush at the gates was terrific.
A number of persons were squeezed to
death, while others who lost their foot
ing in the surging mass of humanity
had the life trempled out of them or
died from suffocation. When the
crowd was finally cleared away 1t was
found that tweaty-nine persons had
been killed and thirty-ive others
more or less seriously injured.

Even the stout heart of the countess

renewed courage.

From whence did 1t come, the ground
or the skies? Poor Felicie was beyond

she felt cold chill creeping over her

by the blended relief and sadness Of her
