The national Democratic convention
held at Chicago last week resulted in q
complete victory for the silver forces.
A free silver platform was adopted and
W Bryan Of Nebraska was nominated
to head the ticket, with Arthur Sewell,
of Maine, Bath shipbuilder, and an
ardent free coinage man, for the vice
presidency. AS a result of the adoption
Of the free coinage platform host of
gold bug Democratic leaders have declard
their intention to bolt the ticket. Some
OF them favor the calling Of another
convention and the nomination of another
ticket on gold platform, while
others favor the support Of Nc
Kinley. 1t is altogether probable
that the latter course will be followed.
This will bring the fight directly between
the gold and silver forces of the country.

Murphy and family, Miss Clara Murphy
