I'm this grave crisis of our country
and our party, we earnestly ask the
cooperation OF all democrats of New
York who reject the Chicago plat
form and nominees and who believe
they should be paid in honest dollars
and that debts, public and private,
should not be repudiated, but should
be scrupulously paid; all democrats
who would defeat the attack now sac
riligiously made in the name of de-
mocracy upon industry and would pro,
tect from that attack the savings bank
depositors, pensioners Of the war, ben.
eficarics OF life insurance and hon
est wages in every form and all demo-
Gratis who have been and are loyal to
the principles and policy to which the
democrats steadfastly adhered during
more than century"

LINING Up FOR THE MONETARY BATTLE
Silver Men with Tone of Literature Al
ready on the Ground-Convention
Hall VIII BE Ready To-
morrow

Chicago, June 3o.-Contrary to the
established rule of such occasions, the
generals of the great political battle
to be fought out next week are arriv-
ing In advance of the rank and file.
Senator Jones of Arkansas came in
late last night, and this morn
ing Col. Towles of Missouri, sec
retary of the bimetallic demo-
cratic national committee, opened up
headquarters at the Sherman house.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels led
the list of morning arrivals at the Pal
mer house and was closely followed by
John F. Shaffroth, the republican sill
yer congressman from the first district
of Colorado. At the Auditorium an
mex the first signs of the Bland boom
became evident with the arrival of
George w. Allen, one of the delegates
at-large from Missouri, who was
joined later by Nicholas P. Bell, John
A. Knott and ]. L. Bradshaw, consti-
tuting the executive committee of the
Bland forces. Gov. Stone, with Moses
c. Wetmore, the millionaire tobacco
merchant, will be here to-day. A car
load of literature concerning the pub
lie career and the speeches of the Mis-
souri, advocate of the white metal is
being unloaded and will be at once put
into circulation. There will be two
Bland headquarters, one at the Audi
torium annex and the other at the
Palmer house. Naturally enough the
headquarters of the bimetallic demo-
cratic ma tional committee at the Sher-
man house is the chief centre of inter-
est. A hundred men worked yes
terday on the speakers platform
and arranging seats in the Coli
scum for the national democratic
convention. The hall will be ready
tomorrow The greater part of the
work has been done. The platform
will be finished to-day, a small army Of
men will arrange the 5000 chairs A
test made yesterday showed that the
acoustics of the hall are good. An
emphatic "Mr. Chairman" was heard
distinctly from one side to the other of
the great room. To-day the decora-
tors turned themselves loose.

points along the Atlantic coast and
the Gulf of Mexico from Portland, Me-,

In our advertising columns is an
nouncement of the famous Peirce
School for its thirty-second year. This
representative business school will be
continued along the same educativc
lines laid down by its eminent founder,
Doctor Thomas May Pierce, its prin-
cipal for thirty-one years. Doctor Peirce
was not only Il teacher of rare ability,
but an expert accountant, who ranked
among the best. Every method he
introduced was tested from the business
side as well as the school side.
DR.. Pierce chose his teachers with
great care. Each is a specialist in his
work. The same faculty is engaged for
the coming year that he selected for
last year, the most prosperous in its
successful career. Under the same
management, in the same quarters, in
the handsome Record Building, a sue
cessful continuance is confidently pre-
dictcd.

THE PITTST0N CAVEIN.



reported that the situation Is worse
than at any time yesterday. The
workings are crushing nearer the foot
of the shrft and the outlook is very
sorrowful. The strain is something
terrible. The night shift of rescuers
were driven back by the roof caving
in and closing up the work that had
been accomplished during the after
noon. 1t is now feared that the open
ing or entranc to the Twin shaft may
be closed in twenty-four hours.
No Doubt hey Are All Dead.
James Mcmahon, one of the bravest
miners in the valley, crawled about the
mine, and it is claimed that he was
within 900 feet from where the un-
fortunate men are supposed to be. He
called out to them on many occasions,
but could not get an answer. That
they are all dead is beyond any further
question.
Criticisms on the Calamity.
Criticisms are already numerous re-
garding the awful calamity, though it
is too soon to express opinions as to
the possibility of having averted this
almost unprecedented accident or to
pass criticism upon those who au-
thorized SO large q body of men to
enter mine in SO dangerous condi-
ton An official investigation will
follow, and it is believed that it will
in every respect be thorough and i'm
partial. The several acts of assembly
for the safety of the men employed
in the mines of this state provide
ample machinery for an investigation
and the proper authorities will doubt
less see to it that the provisions of the
law are put into full operation in this
most distressing case.
