SILvERITES WALK OUT.

A ter Their Protest Is Heard A gainst the
Financial Plank They File Out.
ST. LOUIS, June 19-The silver men,
to the number of %, walked out of the
convention after their protest on the
financial plank had been read to the
meeting. Senators Teller and Cannon
shook hands with Chairman Thurston
and Mr.. Foraker and babe them good-by
and turned toward the steps leading
down to the right hand center aisle.
Meantime men, women and children
from the pit to the last tiers of the
galleries had climbed upon their chairs.
AS Teller and Cannon stepped into the
aisle dozen silver colleagues rose and
followed them. On each side of this
aisle the delegates were facing it,
all standing on their chairs. AS the
file of stern faced men marched
along the long pathway to the door
great yell went up before which every
other outbreak of the day paled into
silence. It was shout in which ad
miration, defiance, derision and rage
were Joined. The band in the highest
gallery broke into the tumult, but its
brazen clangor made no impression on
the vocal storm and was drowned in it.
The following delegates were those
who walked out: The entire delega.
tions of Colorado and Idaho, from
Utah, Pettigrew from South Dakota,
Hartman from Montana, Cleveland
and Strother from Nevada. The Utah
men were Cannon, Kearns and Allen.
None of the delegates from the terri
tories went out.

DETROIT TRIBUNE BOLTS.

Repudiates the Republican National Plat
form as "Damnably Unpatriotic and I'm
Republican,"
DETROIT, Mich, June 19-The Trib-
une, one of the oldest daily newspa-
pers in the west, and the leading re-
publican paper of Michigan since the
birth of the party, will unequivocally
repudiate yesterdays action of the re-
publican national convention in de-
claring absolutely for the gold stand
ard as against bimetallism. The
Tribune will say that while the party's
candidate is all right, ''the platform
on the only important issue
before the country is damnably
unpatriotic and un-republican."
1t will say: mo ones repu blicanism
can be impugncd if ne continues to
stand SOU arely on the national and
state platforms of the past, and if he
repudiates utterly the false and I'M

FOR THE HOME DRESsMAKER.

Never gore both sides of the widths
of thin cotton gown.
Steam the rain spots on your velvet
cape and brush up the pile with whisls
while holding the wrong side of tbs
material over a steaming tea-kettle.
When a petticoat pushes toward tbs
front it shows that it has fuIlness
there which ought TO be in the back,
and it may also mean that the back of
the skirt is too long.
To take the creases out of your black
silk skirt either dip each piece in q
bath of naphtha remembering alwayz
that naphtha is very explosive) and
hang out-of-doors to dry, or lay a wet
sheet on the right side of the silk, and
iron until dry. Unfortunately, this
latter method is apt to remove the
gloss.

United States those who can neither read and

The civil service law was placed on the

and honestly enforced and extended wherever
practicable.
States shall be allowed to cast one free ane

The republican party is mindful Of the rights

industries includes equal opportunities, equal
pay for equal work, and protection to the home.
We favor the admission Of women to higher
spheres of usefulness, and welcome their CO.
operation in rescuing the country from demo-
cratic and populist mismanagement and mis-
rule. Such are the principles and policies Of
the republican party. By these principles we
will abide and these policies we will put in eX-
ecution. We ask for them the considerable
judgment of the American people.
Confident alike in the history Of our great
party and in the justice Of our cause, we pre-
sent our platform and our candidates in the
full assurance that they will bring victory to
the republican party and prosperity to the
people of the United States.

THE loss of property caused by the
recent tornado at st. Louis, according
to the official estimate of Mr.. Freder-
iclS, president of the board of assess
ors, based upon a careful investigation
by expert assessors, is $40, 239, 900. The

name was received with loud applause
and cheering, led by the Maine delega-

admirer of the Maine statesman sus.
pended large picture of Mr.. Reed
from the gallery, which evoked many
demonstrations of approval. Mr.. Lit

nation Of Mr.. Reed.
The clerk proceeded with the call of

upon local elections which has existed
in Brown township, Delaware county,
o., for the last 80 years. 1t is that
of eating 40 dozen hard-boiled eggs on
election night at the expense of the
successful candidates Neither the
bill of fare nor the number of eggs is
ever varied. Each year committee is
selected to secure the eggs and prepare
the feast. When the count is finished
the eggs are passed around and the
banquet begins. The persons who are
