THE VIRGINIA PLATFORM.
Soundest of Money, to Consist of Gold an
Silver at 16 to 1.

soundest Of Money, to Consist of Gold and
Silver at 16 to I.
STAUNToN, Va, June 5.-The money
plank of the Virginia Democratic plat
form is as follows
We are for sound money. The soundest
that the world has ever had or can have.
This sound money should consist of silver
and gold, and of paper redeemable in sill
yer or gold at the option of the payer.
The immediate and complete restoration
of the bimetallic system Of money which
existed in the United States from 1898 to
1878 is in our opinion demanded by the in
terests of commerce, manufactures and
agriculture which are alike suffering
from the continuous fall of prices and the
consequent embarrassment or bankruptcy
of those engaged therein. And, In order
to so restore it, we demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and gold
at the 16 to ratio without waiting for
the assent or concurrence Of any other na,
tiOn.

NO PLACE FOR THEM
COLORED DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS
LIKELY TO GO HUNGRY.

Hotels, Boarding Houses and Cafes De-
clare Flat-Footed Against Tlrem-Na-
tional Committee Will Be Forced to
Furnish Food and Lodging.
ST. LOUIS, June 9.-What shall be
done with the colored delegates and al
ternates to the national Republican con-
vention is question which is puzzling
the members of the national committee
and the Business Mems league, which
secured the convention to St. Louis, as
well. Every hotel, boarding house and
cafe has come out fat-footed and de-
clared that it would entertain no negro
as guest or customer. Money Is no
object. Threats Of prosecution have
had no effect, and, from the present out
look, it would seem that, unless tents
are secured, the black men will have to
60 hungry and unhoused.
"I am thoroughly disgusted and dis
couraged,' said National Committee
man J. G.. Long of Florida. II have
been looking all day long for
Hotel, Boarding House or Cafe
that would admit the negroes, but 1t
has been fruitless search. 1t is the
only time in the history of the Repub-
lican party where such an embarrassing
predicament has arisen"
When asked what the national COM
mittee would do in the matter, Mr..
Long replied: II have consulted with
the members who are here and we have
decided to offer resolution as soon as
the committee meets condemnlng the
hotel and Jun keepers and for the set
ting aside of fund for renting hall
in which cots shall be placed for the &C.
commodation of the negroes who may
come to the convention. We will also
request the employment Of corps OF
cooks to supply them with food"
All Rooms Are Engaged"
James M. Hill, a negro and the ma
tional committeeman from Mississippi
has been busy all day trying to FIND
quarters for the delegation from his
state. He was not successful. He was
informed at every hotel i'll the city that
all rooms were "engaged.' He coule
not even find a room for himself ane
was quite indignant.
II hope to have the matter settled
soon," he said, "but it is an outrage tx
be SO treated in the face of the promise
made by the St. Louis representative
in Washington. When St. Louis wa
asking for the convention / did all
could to bring it here. The local com
mittee promised that no color lin
i would be drawn and no discriminatiol
made by any Of the hotels" ..4

I. THEY WANT BLACKBURN.

Kentucky Democrats to Name Him For
tho Presidency at Chicago.
LEXINGTON, KY, June 4.-The drift
az the Democratic state convention was
for Senator Blackburn for president and
General p. Wat Hardin, the defeated
candidate for governor, his successor IN
the senate. The convention is 10 to l
for the l6 to ratio. 1t was thought
before the districts met that the gold
standard men would get several
representatives out Of the districts,
but the Louisville district is the
only one out of the II that the

Platt of New York Preparing q Coup
- Spring at the Proper Time.
ST. LOUIS, June CAS- yet no leaders
who are to take part in the national
convention have arrived. City politi-
eians say that Marcus Hanna, the leader
Of the Mckinley forces, will reach here
next Tuesday, and that Thomas @.
Platt, in charge Of the Morton cam
paign, win come two days later.
The Republic prints lengthy inter
view with Mr.. Heath, in which he gives
what purports to be Mr.. McKinley's
position ON the financial question. Mr..
Heath does not attempt to deny that the
Mckinley programme is to force the
tariff issue to the front in 1896.
"Wan street," said Mr.. Heath, '"has
attempted to run every national con-
vention held since have known any

tion this year, and it will, as usual, fail
Major Mckinley is one of those men
who does not believe his Judgment
should be taken against the
Combined Wisdom of His Party.
Nobody has spoken for him authorita-
lively on the currency plank, and no.
body will be able to do so, because he is
willing to trust the convention and
stand by it's decision. The best jucg-
ment of the whole party must prevail in
this matter.
"There are not to exceed four states
which will insist on an unequivocal dec
laration for gold standard. These
states are: New York, Maine, Massa-
chusetts and probably New Jersey. In
the same way there are about a half
dozen silver states which will demand

iority Of states the one issue in the cam
paign is protection. You cannot talk
currency to Republicans in Ohio, Indi'
ana or Illinois. Whatever the Republi.
can convention adopts as its platform

Says Platt In Preparing Coup.
Having disposed of the Mckinley cur
rency attitude, Mr.. Heath, at the re-
quest Of the reporter, addressed himself
for few moments to Thomas Q. Plat,
with the following result:
Eyes, Mr.. Platt is preparing some
kind Of coup. I am informed it is tt

committee or on the floor Of the conven

during the past few days that he woule

Many an English and Australian friend
has said to me: II should think you
would be afraid to travel in America; you
always seem to be having such dreadful
railway accidents. We scarcely take up a
paper without seeing an account of some
new horror" Alas, that 1T cannot be said
that the frequency of railroad horrors Is a
popular delusion, but the fears of my
friend were largely exaggerated, because
the papers he saw gave him very littfe else
than these accounts of direful railway ac-
cidents and other disasters. When in
formed him that had Travelled many tens
of thousands. Of miles without meeting q
serious mishap or ever being held up by
highwaymen, it almost passed his compre-
hension and he made up his mind that
either the papers which he habitually read
or myself had been drawing a long bow.
One of these same friends, who enter
tanned these fears I regret to say, being
somewhat soothed by my favorable ac-
count of railway travel in the United
States, ventured across the Atlantic and
even visited the Worlds fair In Chicago.
Alas for his temerity! For in che very
heart of this land of the free his train was
stopped by "road agents." its express car
was rifled of its contents and the robbers
got off with their booty scot free What
realistic accounts he must have carried
home and how he will corroborate every
account of robbery and disaster which he
sees in the London papers!-Rev. DR..
