CLEVELAND A FALSE PROPHET.
Senator Jones Thinks the Chicago Con-
vention viii Prove 1t.

Washington, June 17.-Presdenr
Clevelands public statement as to the
money plank of the Democratic Nation
al convention has caused widespread
comment here, although few proni-
nent public men outside Of Cabinet
officers and department officials re
main in town, and they will not be quo
ted. Senators Harris, Vest and Wal
thall, of the bond investigating com
mittee, left for New York early to-day.
Senator Jones pop, New, another
member of the committee, and prOmi-
nent silver leader, said Mr.. Cleyelaud's
statement was not open to analysis,
as there was nothing in it except the
expression of his personal belief thai
the convention would not do what eve
cry one knew it was going to 10, and
what it was elected to do.
There is a lurking conceit about
such an expression of opinion" said
the Senator, indicating belief that
when he says it will not do what the
people know it win do, the public win
pause and fall in line and recognize
him IS a great prophet. But the con
venti0n viii disclose what a poor
prophet he is, for after all The intiu-
ence Of patronage and Office, the con-
yention win Ire for Silver. The Presi-
dent merely gives it as his opinion that
the convention will not be for silver,
passing over the merits of the ques-
zion. There is no discussion of the
right or wrong of this great question.
The statement that the free silver prop
osition will not attract a majority OF
the voters of the country sounds much
like placing This large question on a
political plane of SHAPING a platform
to catch votes, rather than to set forth
a principle of the right. No, there is
nothing in the Presidents statement
that can be seriously discussed"
by the way" added Mr.. Jones, Il
note that the British press commend
the gold plank at St. Louis"

TELLER WAS ONCE A DEMOCRAT.

Originally a Democrat, and man
who may be a Democrat again, is Sem
ator Teller, of Colorado. He was a
Democrat along in war times, but
went to the Senate as a Republican
after Colorado was admitted to the
Union. He is now in his eighteenth
year in the Senate, and during his
eighteen years service he has given
John Sherman more trouble than any
Body else in Washington. Sherman
and Teller are continually at logger
heads, but Sherman, in common with
everybody else in Washington, has the
highest admiration for Tellers un-
doubted honesty of purpose.-St. Louis

NOMINATIONS IN ARKANSAS.
An Effort to Stampede the Convention
For Bland.

Little Rock, Ark, June 17.-The
Democratic State convention met at
noon to-day with a full representation.
John q. Jones was elected permanent
chairman The first business was the
nomination of the State ticket.
John w. Jones was nominated for
Governor by reclamation. Judge H.
G.. Bum was nominated for Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme court on the first
ballot.
\ sensation was then sprung a
delegate moved hat the convention
proceed to express it's preference on
the Presidential question, which mo-
ton was declared to be out of order
simultaneously telegram was handed
to and read by the secretary purport-
ing to come from st. Louis, and CON
tanning the information that Senator
Teller and his silver colleagues had
walked out of the convention and de-
clared his intention of supporting
Bland for the Presidency. A large
banner portrait of the Missourian was
unfurled by Geo. w. Allen, of ST. Louis,
and the convention went wild with
enthusiasm for Bland. 1t required all
the efforts of the anti-Bland people to
prevent a stampede.
The State ticket was completed with
the exception of Auditor, over which
there is a hot contest. The other nomi-
nations were as follows:
Attorney General. f. 2. Trustworthy;
Treasury, Ramon Gully; Land Com

SILVER IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Wheeling, w. Va, June Flour
Democratic district conventions to-day
selected delegates to the Chicago con-
vention and all four declared unequi-
vocally for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-06-18

"The present currency system is the
fruit of Republican wisdom" That
is why the people turned the Republi-
cans out in 1892, why they repudiate
the financial policy of this admins
tration, and why they will not vote
this year either for Mckinley or any
gold Democrat.

THE BURKE RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions adopted in Burke
county were particularly pointed.
Delegates to the State convention were
instructed to vote as a unit in the
State convention, and strong resolu-
ions for free coinage at the ratio of
10 to 1, and the following resolution
were adopted:
"Besolyed, That we are opposed
to protection in all of it's forms and
hence are unwilling to compro
mise upon the coinage of the pro-
duct of American mines only, OF
upon any other makeshifts, in
tended as substitute for the res
toration of silver to perfect equal
ity with gold as redemption mon
ey."
Lately we have heard some talk from
Linney and other Republicans to the
effect that they favored the coinage of
the silver product of the American
mines. The Burke Democrats did well
to put on record their hostility to this
form of protection. The free coinage
advocates are not seeking to protect
mine owners, and the attempt to limit
the coinage to the American product
shows hostility to free coinage. free
silver men favor it to stop the depre-
citation in values and crops, the de-
preston in business, and the evils that
bear alike upon all sections, and will
accept nothing less than the free, I'M
limited and independent coinage.

LETTER FROM A POPULIsT.

We print elsewhere a letter from a
Populist lawyer, Morrison Caldwell,
Esq, of Concord, which indicates that
many Populists will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket if the convention nomi-
mates a Democrat whose record is
straight for silver. Mr.. Caldwell and
his many friends may get their tickets
ready, for that is the kind of man the
Democrats will nominate.
