nessee are in the city
Il am glad" said the silver senator
from Nevada, that the Republican
party made an emphatic enunciatiOn
on the money question 1t draws the
lines and makes the issue Of the can
vass a direct one. Both parties have
been lying to the people on this ques-
ton for about 20 years, and the people
have at last tired of it and forced them
to declare themselves"
viii Mckinley be elected ?''was ask
ed,
yes, to stay at home. He will be
one of the worst beaten candidates who
ever sought the presidential Office. He
will not carry a state west of the Mis-
sissippi. and if the silver men get to-
gether, and the probabilities are that
they viii, he will not even carry his
own state of Ohio"
Senator Harris said: All that is now
needed to write 'finis' at the end of
Mr. McKinleys political history is a
union of the silver supporters, and that

ALTGELD SNTFFS VICTORY
Has a Poor Opinion of the Conven-
ton and Its Work

Chicago. June 2O.-A special to the
Herald from Springfield says:
Governor Altgeld was asked yester
day what he thought of the action of
the national Republican convention and
replied as follows:
The convention was one of the most
mediocre in character ever held by that
great party and showed that the party
is now at the opposite pole from what
it was when it nominated Lincoln.
Then its convention was made up Of
statesmen, orators and patriots. and
there was noticeable absence of those
men and Influences which represented
only pelf and greed, and which seek
to control affairs by base and corrupt
methods.
The platform can be summed up in
two capital G's. Gold and greed and
stands for misery Long before No
vember that ticket viii have upon it
the curse of the American people and
if the Democratic party will be true to
it's great mission and VIII neither
straddIe nor compromise, but stand for
the interest, the welfare and the rights
of the great suffering masses then the
ides of November viii witness the
complete annihilatiOn of that party,
which without right or authority calls
itself the Republican party"

CnlcaBOr June ~
The reports of crop damage continue
with perhaps a tendency to grow from
worse to worse The market is very
nervous and under constant tension so
that any news or the action of any
leading trader, is the signal for a bulge
or a break as it may be. Volume of
trade light and one hundred thousand
bushels cut as much figure as a million
does ordinarily. Our opening was
weak but responded easily to buying by
St. Louis but did not hold top figures,
which We're made on an estimate of the
French crop showing that it would not
equal last years even with the finest
of weather Northwestern receipts are
still a. bugbear and they show no signs
Of lessening. Visible supply will prob
ably show a small decrease.
There is no important change in front
by the local bull party, though several
of them are taking advantage of the
bulges to secure profits and get in
again lower. This seems to US a very
good policy for the present.
