ut looks now as though they would
meet and adopt platform, and then ad-
journ without naming ticket"
"In that event what will the so-called
"sound money Democrats do--vote for
Mckinley or not vote at air.
II think most OF them will vote for Nc
Kinlev. l would advise all of them to
do So"
''Then you would rather have Mckinley
and protection than Bryan and free
silver?" was put direct to the Senator.
'Yes,' he replied. 81 think protection
Is absurd, but I would rather have Nc

shots at him, one striking him in the right
arm and shattering the bone. Rath was
arrested. Weyman is cousin OF Stanley

maneuvred as the arbitrary will or restless
ambition or caprice of kings or potentates
may dictate. And although democracy is sub
ject 10 violent gusts of passion and prejudice,
they are gusts only. The abiding sentiment of
the masses is for peace-for peace to live in
dustrious lives and to be at rest with all man
kind. With the prophet of old they feel
though the feeling may find no srticulate utter
ance-"now beautiful upon the mountains arc
the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,
that pubIisheth peace"
Mr.. President, I began by speaking of the
TWO great INSTRUMENTATION and British-of
that English-speaking world which you and l
represent to-day, and with one more reference
to them end.
Who can doubt the influence they possess
for insuring the healthy progress and the
peace of mankind? But if this influence is to
be fully felt they must work together in cor
dial friendship, each people in its own sphere
of action. If they have great power, they have
also great responsibility.
No cause they espouse can fail; no cause
they oppose can triumph. The future is, in
large part theirs. They have the making of
history in the times that are to come. The
greatest calamity that could befall would be
strife which should divide them.
Let us pray that this shall never be. Let us
pray that they, always self-respecting, each IN
honor upnoidlng lts own nag, safeguarding Its
own heritage of right and respecting The
rights Of others, each in its own way fulfilling
its high national destiny shall yet work in
harmony for the progress and the peace of the
world.
Lord Russell concluded his address at

was taken, during which all who could

the exclusion of all other subjects, but
that sentiment has not yet sufficiently
crystallized to enable the forming of a
definite opinion as to the outcome. The
capitalistic element, especially in New
York and other large cities, is largely for
Mckinley and the gold standard, while
the common people-those who labor
seem quite generally to favor Bryan and
American or 16 to l bimetallism. He
thinks the action of the Populist national
convention IN st. Louis this week will
have an important bearing on the result.
He was in New York when Bryan was
nominated and is convinced that the sud
den union of all the big Gotham daily
papers, with the honorable exception of
the journal, against Bryan was "prear-
ranged concert of action" due to the fact
that they had been adequately ''seen." He
also discovered strong signs of revolt
among the rank and file of Tammany
against any movement among the gold
bug leaders to place boiling Democratic
ticket in the field and thinks this explains

HON0RS FOR A SOLDIER.
Delightful Reception rendered Gen,
Wheaton at the Executive Homo
Last Evening.

Gen. Frank Wheaton, of Denver, com
handing the department of the Colorado,
accompanied by Lieuts. G. L. Langhorne
and William II. Bean, were rendered a
public reception at the executive home
last evening. Gov. and Mrs. Thornton
were assisted by Mrs. John P. Victory in
receiving the guests, and from $50 to 10
o'clock some 300 people called to pay
their respects to the distinguished visit
ors. The placita, with its varied collec-
ton of flowers and vines, was brilliantly
illuminated by electricity, and presented,
as Gen. Wheaton declared, an enchanting
picture OF beauty and fragrance. Prof.
Perez full orchestra was in attendance
and discoursed sweet Spanish waltz airs
while those who cared to indulge in dane
ing under the interior portals. Dainty re-
freshments were served and the evening
proved one of the greatest social enjoy
ment.
Gen. Wheaton left at 1910 p. m. for
Denver, his special car being attached to
the regular train. Many prominent citi-
zens accompanied him to the depot, aud
to these and the governor he expressed
himself as more than gratified at his re.
ception at the hands of the people of
Santa Fe. He also took occasion to say
that he fully agreed with the opinion of
his predecessor, Gen. McCook, that Santa
Fe was in all respects most desirable
place for military post and he ex-
pressed the hope that the authorities
would ere long be brought to a substan-
tial realization of this fact.

ARROYOS TURNED RIVERS.
An Extraordinary Rainfall in the
santa Fe-PecOs Regional Cloud
burst Yesterday Afternoon.

The rich red lands of Glorieta noun
tain gave up tons of their mineral in
gradients to the Rio Grande and Pesos
valleys yesterday. The storm cloud that
broke over the Santa Fe-Pecos mountain
range during the afternoon quite dis
mayed the Oldest inhabitants. tt was
severest on the east slope, between
Glorieta and Pecostown. At 4 O'Clock
every dry arroyo was raging torrent of
deep chocolate color, impossible for
man or beast for several hours. On the
west slope also the ravines and cuts that
drain into the Galisteo and Rio Grande
we're flooded. Great quantities of loose
rock were swept down the mountain side
into the public highway, and the road be-
tween Santa Fe and Glorieta is to. day
practically impossible with vehicle.
This seems to have been the culminn-
ton OF remarkable storm that has been
prevailing in the Pecos region during the
whole of this month. At Windsor's ranch
up to Monday it had rained every day
this month, the rainfall amounting to
nearly ak inches. At the Valley ranch
somsthing like four inches of preci pita-
tlon is the record for the month.

the financial plank of the national Demo-
cratic platform which demands the free

for vice-president, believing that only the

pointment to the position of secretary of

of the Democratic Lominee for president,
Hon. Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, the
"Grand Old Man of the Rocky Noun
tains," whose devotion to the principles of
this organization and the interests Of the
masses of the people has nerved him to
line of action that calls for the commenda-
ton of every American citizen who loves
his country.
Resolved, That the delegates elected by
this convention to the national conven-
ton of this organization, to be held at St.
Louis, on July %, are hereby instructed

vention of Bryan, to use all honorable

Now as it ia an assured fact that the

candidate for president, and his election
and Inauguration sure, we know of moth
ing that would be more heartily Endorsed
by the people of this territory than the
retaining of W. T. Thornton in the gu.

least until the territory is admitted,
which will be under Bryan's administra-
tion and silver congress, and then the
people can elect the present incumbent.
