The Proceedings.

PEORIA, Ills, June 23.-The Illinois
Democratic convention assembled this
afternoon for what promises to be a
noteworthy session.
Temporary Chairman A NJ. Bell
made a speech counselling prudence
without fear, and declared against a
straddle on the money question.
For over an hour before the Demo-
cratic state convention was to con-
vene, thousands of people from all over
the state began to beSiege the hall 1t
filed I'D and crowds were seeking adj
mission in vain. There was no excite
ment, no playing of bands.
AT 1890 W. H. Heinrichsen, chair
man Of the state central committee.
called the house to order.
Rev Mr.. McVety prayed that the AL
mighty would restore the country to
prosperity and che masses of the peo-
pie be relieved from oppression and
wrong.
The chairman announced A. H. Bell
for temporary chairman.
If there ever was a time in the his
tory of any political party. when every
step should be taken with prudence.
but without fear, and when wise coun-
ellis should prevail, that time is now
at hand for the Democratic party.
Great issues are before the people
Momentous interests are at stake This
year will become famous in the calen-
dar-
Four years ago, we nominated a man
for the presidency from the state of
New York, in spite of the protests of
the delegation from that state.
MAY GOD FORGIVE US FOR IT.
There must be a limit even to di-
vine wrath, for we have since been
beaten as with a scourge of scorpions.
AT that election we carried almost
every state. and achieved the most
| complete victory at the polls in the
history of this land Our hopes were
/ then bright. We felt that our party
| had come into power to stay. But,
| alas, our president, forgetting the tar
| if issue on which we had so grandly
| won, brought confusion into his party
| by striking down with traitorous hands
the only apology that still remained
I for the coinage of the peoples silver
AS result, two years ago we were
routed at every point, and today the
Democratic hosts of Illinois, whom you
represent, have not a representative in
| Congress.
A proclamation went out to our peo-
pie that the Democracy Of this state
! should assemble in convention and
define the position of the party on the
money question. The
RANK AND FILE
of the Democratic party has always
been for the free coinage of gold and
silver at the old ratio, and majority
of our representatives in Congress had
always been in favor OF it, But the
declarations of the party had hereto
fore been couched in equivoca1 terms.
The time had come when equivocation
was to be superseded by unequivocal.
vigorous statements. The people dis
cussed the question and it became
manifest that a great majority of the
people were in favor of the peoples
money and more of it.
The advocates of the single gold
standard said at first that the party
would not declare for free silver; then
finding themselves beaten at every
point. they sought to beiittle this great
gathering of the people, and said that
it was not a Democratic convention
but
A CONVENTION OF SILVER
CRANKS.

HALIFAX, N. s.. June 2S.-The result
of today's election in Nova Scotia shows
a. surprising gain for the Liberals. OF
the twenty-one seats in the last house
they held but five. OF the twenty seats

gest surprise was in Cumberland county,
which in the last election gave a conser-
vative majority of over 800. and which
county today not only elected a liberal
but defeated a cabinet minister. Halifax,
which last election elected two conserva-
tives by q thousand majority, this time
elected one conservative and one liberal.

not nearly as enthusiastic as might

and old glory was waved above the
heads of the crowd. that anything like
a. spontaneous outburst occurred. Then,
led by Fisher Harris from behind the
Office counter, the crowd broke into a
long, hearty cheer that lasted for sew
eTal minutes. Then Charley Stanton
proposed three cheers for Delegate
Kearns, which was responded to with
a vim. The crowd remained for some
minutes to shake hands with the dele
gates, then gradually dispersed and the
reception WAS over.

A word about D. M. Clough. He is
known personally to almost every old
settler within radius of 20 miles of
Princeton. Every man who has the
pleasure of his acquaintance is his
friend. We have not word to saw
against Mr.. John Lind. We believe
him to be an honorable gentleman, and
we are proud to number him among
our friends. Mr.. Lind does not claim
to be a Democrat or a Populist. The
governor of Minnesota has nothing to
40 with the currency question. Dave
Clough earned his first dollar here in
Mile Laos county. He toiled for wages
in the pineries and on Rum river.
Later on he became an employer of
labor himself, and hundreds of men in
Mile Lacs, Sherburne and Isanti coun-
ties will testify that he and his BROTH
ers were always generous employers.
Party lines are being closely drawn
this year, but surely Dave Clough's old
friends and neighbors will not draw
party lines on him. Mr.. Clough has
made good chief executive; no fault
can be found with his official acts,
Then why not put an x mark after his
name when you cast your ballot next

p. E. WAITE.
For the year ending Juno 30, 1896,
there was imported to this country
from Canada the enormous amount of
1, ,l09, ,675, 900 feet Of lumber, logs and
hewn timber, while during the pre-
vious year only 697, 7,678,Oo0 feet were
imported-an increase of All ,O94, 900.
Is it any wonder that the lumber bust
ness is paralyzed in northern Mime
sofa? How are the thousands of mon
who have been thrown out of employ-
ment going to get possession of free
silver or any oJher kind of silver if
they are not afforded an opportunity to
earn it? If you wish the present state
of affairs to continue, vote for BRYAN
and Towne. Of course, NJ. Towne
claims he is protectionist, but at the
same time he is supporting Mr.. Bryan,
who is pronounced free trader.

Elements that Gov. D. NJ. Clough is an
attorney for the Great Northern Rail-

enough to believe the story. In the

in the second place he is not even re-

DANIEL WEBSTER: That is the tru-
est American policy which shall most
usefully employ American capital and
American labor, and best sustain the
whole population. With me it is a.
fundamental axiom, it is interviewer
with all my opinions, that the great
Interests of the country are united and
lnseparable; that agriculture, com
merce, and manufactures will prosper
together or languish together; and
that all legislation is dangerous which
proposes to benefit one of these with
out looking to consequences which
may fall on the other.

The UNION is a local newspaper.

The UNION is local newspaper. It
is impossible for a local paper to pub
lish verbatim reports of political
speeches, and as a matter of fact nine
tenths of the political speeches in
1icted upon the people are not worthy
OF more than passing notice. But
the UNION aims to treat it's political
opponents fairly. That has ALWAYS
been the policy of the paper. The pub
Usher of the UNION owes almost as
much to the Democrats of Mile Laos
county as he does to the Republicans.
We appreciate that fact,

always have believed that this country
can safely coin the American product,

United States. There are many Of my

who believe in the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. They are honest in
their convictions. I do not impugn

they are right. What I am willing to

He Talks Trusts.

One OF the Merritts, of Duluth, has
been working for the fusion ticket in
Anoka and Sherburne counties, max
inga personal and school house cam
paign. His principal stock in trade is
a harangue on the evils of trusts and
the woes which come to the common
people through corporations and syn.
dicates. He is, or has been, one of the
heavy capitalists of Duluth and is in
terested in a score of corporations
either as an officer or director. The
hypocrisy of the man is so apparent
that further comment seems unneces-
sary. AS representative of COM
panies possessing nearly S50,000,OOO OF
capital his outcry against the evils OF
trusts is so plainly the talk of a dis
sembler that it will have but little
weight.
