DENVER, Colo, April 16.-The Dem.
ocratic state convention held here, after
adopting free silver platform and
electing one delegate at.large, ad-
journed to 7:30 in the evening.
Senator TIllman of South Carolina
was to speak in the same theater in
WHICH the convention was tran sacting
its business. 1t was impossible to pro-
ceed with further elections until the
governor had finished. Before Mr..
Tillman began his speech, letters and
kilograms of congratulation were read
by the secretary of the state central
committee from Governor Stone of
Missouri, Senators Vest of Missouri,
Daniel of Virginia and Call of Florida.
Mr.. Tillman urged the Democrats and
Republicans alike to bolt at their re.
spective national conventions should
gold platforms be adopted, and assured
the Colorado delegation that the South
would stand solid with the West should
it be necessary TO leave the convention
hall.
After Senator Tillman finished his
speech the convention reassembled and
completed the election of delegates at.
large and congressional delegates.

Miss vanderbilt's Retort.

An amusing story about Miss Ger
trude Vanderbilt is told by one of her
school friends. 1t happened several years
ago, when Miss Vanderbilt was in short
dresses, and the desirability of standing
we'll with prominent peopls had not yet
crossed the minds of her schoolmates.
The dispute started over the monthly
report book. Miss Vanderbilt's marks
were higher than any of the other chill
dren's in the group.
"I don't care," exclaimed one Of
them, ''the teachers favor you cause
you re rich, but my father says your
grandfather used to sell matches. There
didn't he?"
And Miss Vanderbilt, who was pos
sessed of rare dignity, held up her curly
head a trife higher and answered
quietly:
st really don's know. But If he did
I'm sure they were good matches, 80

Republicans to power. The financial
plank is as follows:
"We pledge ourselves in advance to
the platform Of the forthcoming Re.
publican national convention, believing
that it will declare against the free

a currency OF gold, silver and paper as
sound 'as the government and as un.

American system, of protection and
reciprocity of which William Mckinley
is the best living exponent, and under
which our people attained the greatest
national and individual prosperity"

WASHINGTON, April 15.--The house
passed without amendment the fortifi-

preparations and authorizations involv-
ing an expenditure of 81, 1884 ,613. The
appropriations for Notifications since
the Endicott commission in 1886 re-
ported its plan for the defense of q
seaports at an approximate cost of $780,
100000 have averaged something over
$4,000. 900 annually. During the debate
there were a number of references to
our foreign complications and the
necessity of preparing for any possible
emergency. Only one voice was raised
against the passage of the bill.
Mr., Berry (Dem., KY thought
it would be wisdom to build
ships capable of coping with the most
powerful battleships of other nations
rather than erect fixed Notifications on
our coasts.

apparent after lively colloquy in the

no disposition among the silver and
Populist senators to allow the resolu-
tion for the senate inquiry into the re-
cent bond issues to lapse. By unani-
mous consent it had been set for
consideration at 2:l5 p. m, but at that
time Mr.. Chandler was proceeding
with speech on the Dupont case, Mr..
Gray was waiting to follow and Mr..
Cullom had an appropriation bill in
reserve. This precipitated clash in
which Mr.. PETER, reinforced by Mr..
Wolcott of Colorado and Mr.. Stewart
of Nevada,
Asserted with Emphasis
that the bond resolution could not be
crowded out either by design or by in
advertance. An agreement was finally
reached that the bond resolution would
come up Immediately after Mr.. Chan
dler and Mr.. Gray concluded their
speeches.
Mr.. Squire (Rep., Wash made an
elaborate presentation ON the pressing
need of coast defenses, pointing out the
defenseless condition of our great sea-
coast harbors.
Mr.. Chandler occupied most Of the
afternoon in support of Mr.. Dupont's
claim to seat in the senate.
