MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 23.-The
Biiou Opera House was crowded to the
doors this morning when the State
democratic convention. WAS called to
order by Ex-Governor Peck, chairman
of the State central committee, who in.
troduced Thomas F. Frawley to act
as temporary chairman. After an ad-
dress by Mr.. Frawley the usual com.
mittees were appointed. In all cases
the selections of the district conven-
tions held this morning were endorsed.
These preliminary conventions indi.
Gated clearly that the gold men had
full control of the convention and that
sound money platform will result:
Senator Villas, General Bragg and
James G. Flanders have been agreed
upon as delegates at-lsrge. There is a
fight for fourth place with the chances
in favor OF ex.Speaker Hogan. All
are sound money men.
After the convention had recessed
the free silver men to the number OF
about sixty held caucus. 1t was re-
solved to make fight for two of the
delegates at large, and to prevent if
possible an outright declaration of the
gold standard in the platform.

The Suburban. Handicap.

NEW YORK, June 23.-What promises
to be one of the most attractive and sue
cessful races ever given by the Coney
Island Jockey Club is the Suburban
handicap, race at mile and a quar-
ter for horses of all ages, to be run at
Sheepshead Bay this evening. The race
will be worth $4,000 to the winner,
81 900 to the second morse and S5OO TO
the third. Seven horses are named to
start, with one ofthem, The Commoner,
marked as doubtful. The starters will
be Henry of Navarro, Clifford, Sir Wal
ter, The Commoner, Nanki Pooh, Horn
pipe and Belmar. The opinion of many
turfmen is that the race will resolve it
self into a duel between Henry OF
Navarro and Clifford. The majority OF
the trainers, however, favor the latter,
Taral will ride Clifford to-day, and
Griffin, who is regarded as one of the
best Jockeys on the turf, will ride
Henry of Navarro. Snapper" Garri-
son will have the mount on Sir Walter.
Nanki Pooh is looked upon as q con.
tender by many. Hornpipe would
have great chance to win if the track
was heavy, but the track is in good
condition and will probably be fast to-
day. The quotations for the race post
ed this morning are to 5 Clifford, 2 to

10 to The Commoner, Is to l Sir Wal
ter, 20 to l Hornpipe and Belmar.

GEN. R. E. LEE Criticised Thee wa:

GEN. R. E. LEE CRITICISED There was
a tremendous sensation Oh the Yale campus st
New Haven, Conn, yesterday evening caused
by an unexpected remark Of Rev. DR.. Joseph
Twitchell, of Hartford, during his Grafton at
the dedication of the Woolsey memorial
statue. 1t arose from the fact that the ivy
planted that afternoon was from the grave Of
Gen. Robert E. Lee.
In tho course of his speech, referring to
Prof. Woolsey, DR.. Twitchell said: "He was a
Union man. heart and soul, and it would
make this bronze statue avert its head were
he to know that the graduating class of Yale
we're to plant on the walls of building on
the campus an ivy from the grave of General
Robert E. Lee. General Lee was q good
man, but he was loyal to an infamous cause"
Immediately after tho dedicatory exercises
the ivy committee held meeting, and the
proposition WAS made to change the ivy, but
it WAS voted down, and it was planted with
the usual ceremonies.
