WHERE CUNEY GOT LEFT. r
Proceedings of the Credentials Committee
Meeting-A Minority Report.

st. Louis, June 16.-The credentials
committee today adopted by a vote of 81
to IL resolution TO ratify the findings of
the national committee in all contests OK
cept those from Delaware and Texas. The
committee recommended the seating of
the Grant, or Mckinley faction, from
Texas, the vote being 90 to 1G. The
resolution offered lby Mr.. Sutherland of
New York to seat the Quincy faction was
lost, IL to 30, and another to seat both
delegations, giving each delegate one-half
vote, failed, IA to 30.
Most of the session was given to hear
ing of Texas contests. Representatives
of the Texas factions largely repeated
statements which had been made before
the national committee. For the Quincy
(coloredD faction, Wright Quincy, the lead
er, and Mr.. Terrell, the ex-minister To,
Belgium, made speeches, and for the
Grant faction (white) John Grant and
Congressman Grosvcnor, one of McKin-
ley's aides, spoke.
The Quincy people had the position Oh
contestees. 1t was charged that Quincy
combined the Reed and Allison forces, and
by appealing to race prejudices had drawn
many Mckinley negroes to his support
that he controlled the committee on
credentials refused to allow a minority
report from that committee to be brought
before the convention, and dictated the
oluctinn nf 1nlnUofac NJ larna rrn at ian llN
managing the whole conventions through
his position as chairman.
The Quincy faction represented that the
Grant men had attempted to control the
convention by mob methods; that ii was
necessary to appeal to the police for pro-
lection. After the convention adjourned
sine die Grant had called another without
authority, the participants being most of
them without credentials and entirely If
regular. This convention had chosen
Grant delegates at large for the national
convention.
After votes which resulted in the seat
ing of the Grant faction an effort was
made by representatives of the third fac
ton, known as lilly whites" to present
claims to recognition. Mr.. Sutherland Of
New York stated the national committee
had determined that silly whites" had mo-
standing in party organization. Accord
ingly their request was refused.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa gave notice that
he reserved the right to present minOri--
ty report to the convention in favor Of
seating the Quincy delegates.
A strong effort was made by Delegates
McCamant of Oregon and Hepburn of
Iowa to induce the committee to consider
the Kerens- Filley fractional differences in
the Twelfth Missouri district, buta the1.

What 10 to 1 Ha. Never Done.

1t has never kept gold and silver Mt u
parity.
1t has never once given us. under free
coinage. practical biinctallism-that is.
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver.
The ratio of 10 to was adopted in
1884. 1t represented the then CONNER.
cial ratio, the market values of the two
metals.
In the 40 ycarsfollowing the adoption
of this ratio and up to 1874 there were
coined less than 1000, 600 silver dol.
lars, or not so many by 500, 900 as were
coined from Jan. i to July / in this
year.
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to.
gether as equal money. What reason has
Mr.. Bryan for his firm conviction"
that they will do so now under FREQ
coinage, when the difference in the com.
mercial ratio is far greater than at any
time during the period from 1884 to
1878:

Daniel webster on Money and waso Earn

Daniel Webster on Money and Wage Earn
The very man, of all others, who
has the deepest interest in sound cur
rency and who suffers most BY mis-
chievous legislation in money matters
is the man who earns his daily bread by
his daily toll. 500 His property is in
his hands. His reliance, his fund, his
productive freehold, his all, is his la.
Dor. Whether he work ON his own small
capital or another's, his living is still
earned by his industry. and when the
money of the country becomes depreci-
ated and debased, whether 1T be adul-
teratcd coin or paper without credit.
that industry is robbed Of its reward.
DO then labors for q country whose
laws cheat him out of his bread. /
would say to every owner of every quar-.
ter section of land in the west, 1 would
say to every man in the east who fol-
lows his own pillow and to every me.
chanic, artisan and laborer Of every city
in the country-I would say to every
man, everywhere, who wishes by honest
means to gain anhoncst living, "beware
ofwolves in sleeps clothing" Whoever
attempts, under whatever popular CRY,
to shake the stability of the public cur.
rency stabs your interests and
your happiness to the heart.

a Free silver Ernnh.

The free coinage press has for several
months past been publishing an article
said To have been taken from the Lon.
don Financial News of March 10. in
which the prediction was made that if
the United States adopted free silver
Great Britain would lose nj! her trade
with South America, India, China and
Japan. The pretended quotation also
declared that this trade which Great
Britain would lose would all 20 to the
United States.
In its issue of Aug. IL The Financial
News pronounces the alleged extract to
be q forgery and declares positively that
nothing of the kind was ever printed
in its columns. An examination Of a file
of the paper shows that its statement is
true
Will the silveritc newspapers which
have been publishing this fake argu.
ment for free coinage please explain to
their readers that they were misled by
some INSCRIPTIONS forger:

Property and Industry.

Property is the fruit of labor. Prop.

the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich, and
hence is encouragement to industry and
enterprise. Let no man who is homeless
pull down tho house of another, but let
him work diligently and build one for
himself, thus, by example, assuring that
his own shall be safe from violence
when it is built.-Abraham Lincoln.

THE Democratic party will not go out of business simply because a Republican senator belts the platform of his party and issues an open address inviting the public to join him in new venture, says the Arkansas Democrat. Teller Is a protectionist and this alone renders him objectionable to Dem ocrats. He may be for free coin age, but then it is written "that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceed eth out of the mouth." The Chi. cago convention may declare for free, unlimited and independent coinage, but its platform will con- tam other important features, none of which the party will care to repudaate merely for the sake of following Teller's standard. The Chicago convention will find some geed Democrat to head its ticket.
