to the party. Why make this new plat
form when we all know only part of
the party can stand upon it? Why use
an expected majority to force policy
new to Democratic platforms. when
every sober minded man knows it must
inevitably disrupt the party?
If the convention declares for free
coinage at 16 to / by this nation alone,
that action will not be Democratic ac-
ton. 1t will be Populistic action. A
Democratic convention may turn Pop
ulistic and many Democrats may turn
Popuilsts, but a million Democrats will
remain Democrats. No wave of Popu-
lism can sweep them off their feet. and
their feet are on the platform of the his
toric principles of the party.
The gold mass meeting was marked
by the absence of David B. Hill. w. c.
Whitney was present but did not speak.
John r. Fellows of New York closed the
meeting with a ringing invective against
free silver. At least 5000 people were
present.
CHICAGO, July 4.-The silver people
were much encouraged, upon the arrival
of some of the delegates from Minnesota
today. to receive the assurance that the
sentiment favorable to silver is constant
ly increasing in the delegation. 1t was at
first supposed to be solid for gold. At
last nights silver caucus dispatch was
read from E. B. Winston, saying that
there were six silver men in the number.
Today's arrivals report that there are
seven who are sure to vote with the sill
yer people, and that there are two Others
who are on the verge of allying them
selves with that interest.
The silver men have also received as
surances that no less than six from the
Massachusetts,, an equal number from
Florida and four Maryland delegates
will stand with them. These changes in
crease their former calculations to the
extent of fourteen or fifteen votes, and
If their previous figures are correct, as
sure the necessary two-thirds vote be-
yond peradventure. The gold men do
not, however, admit their claims.
1t was officially announced today that
forty out of forty-six delegates from
Illinois had declared their intention to

NEW YORK, July 4.-The week just
closed has been marked by a highly
nervous temper in financial circles, which
at times caused the market to verge upon
Generalization. In fact, in the judg-
ment of competent observers, a repeti-
ton of the panicky conditions and dis
astrous slump in values that occurred in
December of last year was only averted
by happy and unexpected turn. The
sustaining influence came from London.
whence the very heavy Liverpool or
ders for American securities were dis
tributed. The buying was estimated at
about 100000 shares, out of which
amount about 10000 to $4,000 shares are
understood to have been shipped to Lon
don today. The stocks selected were all
active ones. The heavy London pur-
chases were Tefiected in a sagging ten
dency to the sterling exchange market,
with demand offered at 48SA in some
instances The market steadied under
the buying, and recoveries were made
in number Of cases, due chiefly to COW
ering. Toward the close. however, re-
cessions occurred on realizing sales.
The closing was heavy in tone, but with
prices generally a point or thereabouts
above the extreme low points. The sales
were 1.395.4S shares.
The railway bond market was rather
quiet, considering the increased anima-
ton in the stock market. Prices dis
played a sagging tendency at the spec
ulative issues foremost. Firmness was
apparent atintervals, but the net results
show general losses, which, however,
are of most consequence in the less ac-
tive mortgages. The transactions were
s13,346, 900.
Government bonds were under pres
sure throughout on a fair volume of
business. The new As displayed the
greatest heaviness, reacting to 116. The
sales were s203,O00
Silver certificates were active and
ruled lower under realizing sales. The
foreign inquiry abated considerably un-
til near the close, when the lower range
induced continental purchases at ssh

TELLER WILL RUN
Failing Democratic Nomination, Silverltes
VIII Support Him

VIII Support Him
CHICAGO, July 4.-The silver Repub-
licans who have bolted the Republican
platform have been putting forth every
effort to secure the nomination of Teller.
The selection of the Colorado senator is
very imprtant to them. They do not
feel that they can support any other
candidate, and they believe that they
would be able to adjust their affairs in
their state much more satisfactorily
than with straight Democratic candi-
date. The silver Republicans have de-
termined to have Teller in the race
whether he is nominated by the Demo-
Gratis or not. 1t is understood that
some of the boltersffroKfthe Republican
convention, who are now here, will leave
for Denver as soon as they find that
Teller cannot be nominated.
They will urge him to adopt an indie
pendent silver nomination. They say
that any other man than Teller running
against Mckinley will be defeated, and
the chances are that the silver men will
lose the senate. If Teller runs inde-
pendently it is claimed the silver men
will still be able to control the senate,
and the fight for silver can continue.
The friends of Senator Teller are re-
ceiving unexpected assistance through
letters and kilograms which are being
sent to delegates by their constituents
urging them to support the senator for
the presidential nomination as the most
available man for the place. These
messages come alike from Democrats,
silver Republicans and Populists, who
urge that Mr.. Teller is the man who will
unite the silver forces as no other man

The Popufists Of Colorado learn with

Disturbance

Mounted Officer Arguello arrested a
gang of boisterous rowdies out at West
lake park late last night for making the
night hideous with their lewd songs and
blasphemous language. Six of the
crowd were rounded up and placed on
car headed down town, en- route to the
police station. When opposite the OLD
armory on Broadway the six made con-
certed break from the car and dashed
up the steps into the building. Arguello
caught two before they could secrete
themselves and turned them over to an
other officer to hold. Then he chased
another up onto the roof and captured
him. The other three managed to get
away.
The prisoners gave the names of Mar
tin Mccormick, Alfonso May and NJ. E.

peace being placed against each Of them.

Harrison Commends Cleveland

General Harrison writes of "The

Ladies' Home Journal, and his
comprehensive article is outspoken
and plain. lie takes occasion to
commend President Cleveland's
movement toward establishing a
more perm inent consular service
lie eX President says:
"The need of II better consular
service has been getting strong
hold upon the public mind. The
practice has been to make frequent
changes In these offices--indeed an
almost complete change upon the
coming in of an administration of
different party. The duties of a
consul relate almost wholly to our
commerce with the country where
ee sprves.* The recent move
ment by Mr.. Cleveland and in
Congress for better qualified and
permanent consular force Is to be
commended.
at is remarked that changes in
the home administration in other
countries, such as England and
France, do not invol Q CHI, nges in
the ministers tr airba Ssad0rS or
consuls, as they do with us. The
English Ambassador at Washing
ton holds right oa whether the
Liberals or the Tories are in power.

make speeches attacking the policy
Of the opposing party-'Or criticising
his own people. Perhaps one OF
the chief difficulties In our getting
Il permanent diplomatic and con-
sular service grows out Of the fact
that the tariff question Is one that
is always acute in our politics, and
the reports Of our consuls netura,ly
take on the views held by them
upon this question. We cannot
have permanent diplomatic and
consular service until we can find
