The silverites had possession of the Hi
nois State Democratic convention and
Governor Altgeld was the Mark Hanna
of the occasion. Everything was pre-
arranged except as to the sentiment for
the Presidential nomination at Chicago,
and even in that matter boomers in the
interest of Governor Boies were actively
A strong undercurrent of sentiment for
Senator Teller for President was devel-
oped; but owing to the influence of the
Altgeld machine it was not allowed to de
velop.

PROPOSED MISSIONARY WORK.

All this talk about Senator Hill. Sena-
tor German, Secretary Whitney and
other gold Democrats going to Chicago
to change the minds of the delegates
there from the silver to the yellow metal
is all bosh. As IA rule delegates. to ma
tional conventions are men of some in
telligence and have enough common sense
To know where their bread is buttered,
and that to insure the proper supply of
oleomargarine or the genuine cream pro-
duct, they must abide by the wishes of
their constituents, or at least stand by
the instructions given them by the bodies
from whom they wcre.-sent The eyes of
the whole country will be fixed upon
those ut Chicago, and they are well aware
of this fact. The slightest deviation
in their expected course would be noted
and if they changed from silver to gold
they would become objects of scorn and
contumely on their return to their homes
OF course, under these conditions. but
few, if any, would be converted Besides,
the very idea of such missionary work is
suggestive of bribery and. corruption,
from the imputation of which even men
of such high character as the gentlemen
above named would not be exempt il
they openly proclaimed that their mis-
sion was only to convert the silver dele
gates to supporters of the gold standard.

SOUTHERN CANDIDATES..

Among the Southern men mentioned
rs the candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Vice President are Scna-
tor John w. Daniel, of Virginia, and Mr.
Eustis, of Louisiana, at present ambas-
sador to France The former is one of
the greatest orators in this country and
was an advocate of free coinage when the
silver movement was in its infancy. He
has adhered to his faith and has grown

A dispatch from Havana says General
Weyler feels confident that with the rein
forcements Of 10000 men, which the
Spanish government will soon send him,
he will be able to crush the Cuban revolt
in the next twelve months. General
Campos also used to say ut different
stages of the war. that with 10000 men
he could wind up the rebellion in IA year.
The reinforcements have come, one year is
gone, another rapidly going, and yet it is
ylain to the dulest minds that state of
war still exists in Cuba.

CONFEDERATE REUNION.

The local committee in charge of the
arrangements for the reunion of the Con-
fcderate veterans in Richmond are no lit
tie puzzled with reference to how the
city can care for all the people who are
going there 1t is quite evident that
the crowd is going to be larger than an

them will be housed and fed at the expo

ney is looming up largely as the candi
date of the gold standard wing of the
Democracy for President, and it is stated
Oh apparently good authority that Ee-
Governor Russell, of Massachusetts, is
willing to support his candidacy, not
withstanding that he was himself en-
dorsed by the Democracy of Massachu-
setts for the same position. If these gold
standard Democrats intend to abide by
the nominations of the Chicago convcn~
ton, they will in all likelihood have to
support free coinage men for President
and Vicc-President.

The trustee of the Roanoke Trust, Loan
promised report to the depositors of that
defunct concern and The Times regrets to
say that to all appearances the deposi-
tors might a. well roll up their sleeves

had any money to deposit with the Roa-
nokc Trust Company. The exhibit of
stocks. bonds and other securities to-
tails up to very. attractive altitude, but
when the schedule is analysed with an X
ray it becomes evident that there is moth
ing in it for the depoSitors. The only
hope for the depositorS lies in the bills
receivable, which are given in IL total of
S30', 900. Strange to say, with this asset
a. the only hope for the dcpositors, no
information WAS furnished as to who
owes this money and how secured. If
ii shall develop that these loans are am
ply secured. and that the depositors take
precedence over all other creditors. there
is hope, but as it is better for Il man to
expect nothing and receive something
than to expect something and receive
nothing, we would respectfully suggest
that it would be well for the depositors
of the defunct bank to count their money
gone. During the past three years this
bank paid to its stockholders forty-iive
thousand dollars in cash dividends, and

mission under Harrison was very good
thing; but,to man of Col. Grants social
ambitions, the position of minister to the

study of the Austrian military organiZa-

THE ARIZONA KICKER
KEEPING IN THE LEAD IN THE NEW
HORROR JOURNALISM.

A Missing Artist and Hungry Bear-Two
Hundred Bullets For tho Home Of the
Greatest Family Paper on Earth A
Kick on Weather Predictions.
Without any extra cost to our readers
we this week issue supplement to the
main sheet, which contains full &C.
counts Of II cold blooded murders, five
ghost stories, four mine horrors and
three Indian butoheries, and we are sor.
ry to say that there were crowded ont
for lack of space six beautiful incidents
In which men were bitten by mad
wolves or rattlesnakes and died in the
most horrible agonies. While this isn't
exactly our style Of literature our read
ers want it, and we defer to them. 1t is
our aim to keep in the lead, and if we
can find enough Of these stories and in.
cidents to make supplement- about
once in four weeks the same will be is
sued and our subscribers made happy.
A Missing Artist.
A young man named Grant, who
came out here few days ago to paint
mountain scenery and who was stop-
ping over at Pine Hill, has been miss
ing for the last five days. He went out
to sketch the mouth Of Black canyon,
and next day they found his easel and
brushes and paints scattered over the
ground. Tho general idea is that a bear
with his lair in the canyon woke up,
saw good thing in front Of him and
proceeded to take it in. He makes the
fourth artist who has mysteriously dis.
appeared in this scction in the last two
years. The belief that Mr.. Grant is on
the inside is further strengthened by
the fact that bear which Joe Harper
shot at and wounded day or two ago
near the canyon spat several trousers
buttons and vest buckle out Of his
mouth as he ran away.

greatest family paper OH earth. The OBJ
ject was to rebuke us for posting weather
bulletins which did not pan out as rep
resented, and we were duly rebuked.
When we started our weather bureau,
we explicitly announced that all the
tools we had to work with were map
of the world, two foot rule and red
lead pencil.
In go days we have hit the weather
As times, which we submit is doing de-
Gently we'll. In few instances we have
predicted rain which obstinately refused
to show up, and two or three times we
have overlooked high winds and frosty
nights.
We have done our best, however, and
if our people are not satisfied they must
turn in some other direction. Had Major
Wharton come to US personally and
alone and like a gentleman we would
have tried to give him the sort Of
weather he wants to grow jack rabbits
and tarantulas, but under the circum-
stances we'll be hanged if we favor him
over anybody else. M. QUAD.
