matte carpentry OF n David Belasco, the
excessive polish of an Augustus Thomas
or tho scintillant dialogue Of q sydney
Rosenfold. Carleton, however, possesses In
a greater degree than any one of his fel
lows a combination of their strong points.
Add TO this the fact that he is q remark
ably quick worker, having turned out one
of his best plays In two weeks, Ii will be
seen that the term "brilliant" Is not mis-
placed when applied to him.
Henry Guy Carleton was born at Fort
Union, n. NJ, June 81, 1855. He received
the best education the Pacific slope afford
cd, being graduated at Santa Clara college,
San Francisco He began literary work
before he was 20 and soon gained recogni-
tion by his light verse, dramatic stories
and sketches and humorous descriptions.
In the early part of 1883 he accepted the
editorship of New York Life and increased
both his own fame and that of the journal
by his literary and managerial work. In
1884 he resigned his place in order TO de-
vote his time TO dramatic labor. In 1856
ho returned 10 journalism and became one
of the editors of the New York World.
His first venture in dramatic authorship
was in 1881, with "Memnon, an Egyptian
tragedy, which, while never performed, Is
known to the reading public from selec-
tions which have become favorite quota
tions. II was purchased by the late John
Mccullough, who regarded 1t as one Of tho
best tragedies written since Shakespeare's
time His next play was Victor Durand,"
society drama, which was performed at
Wallack's S theater, New York, in 1884 and
enjoyed run of 12 weeks He next wrote
historical drama, based upon the most
evenful period of Venetian history.
Mr.. Carleton's reputation as humorist
is largely based upon his sketches of the
Thompson Street Poker club, which had q
wide vogue as they appeared in Life and
gained n new popularity when compiled
and published in book form.
The accusation was once made by many
of Carleton's admirers that 1t was he who
wrote the side splitting satires with which
Lew Dockstader, the minstrel, closed his
entertainments when he had his own thea
ter In New York, but, so far as Is known,
the genial author never accepted the honor
OF the paternity thus thrust upon him.
After a considerable hiatus Mr. Carle-
toms plays again began to appear. IA
Gilded Fool" written for Nat Goodwin,
was great success, as also was Butter
flies" in which John Drew and Maude
Adams appeared for an entire season.
Both Of these works were comedies, and
Mr.. Cartoons extraordinary versatility
will be recognized when it Is recollected
that he gained prominence in the field of
dramatic authorship by reason of the
strength of his early tragedies

The entire afternoon session was given
to the discussion of the money plank The
arguments were spirited, but by rule of
the convention speakers were limited to
ten minutes each. 1t developed that the
fight was not so much one of gold vs.. sill
yer as it was the narrow gauge faction
against the free silver advocates Several
speakers who opposed the plank expressed
themselves as personally favorable to free
coinage DR.. Louis Banks, of New York,
opened the debate with a speech against
the plank, declaring that If it was adopted
he would take no part in the campaign.
Ex-Governor st. John spoke for the plank
declaring that he would vote for free silver
not only because he considered it right,
but because his constituents instructed
him to.
The debate continued until nearly 6
O'Clock, when a vote was finally reached
which resulted 397 to 427 against the
plank. The victory of the narrow gauge
faction and the defeat of free silver We're
greeted with wild applause and it was
some time before the convention was able
to proceed with the consideration Of the
platform. The convention then proceeded
to the consideration of the planks refer
ring to Sunday observance and against
appropriations for sectarian schools.
These Were adopted, when the convention
was thrown into confusion by the action
of r. H. Patton, of Illinois, who presented
n substitute for the entire platform as far
as adopted.
The new platform excluded everything
but prohibition, even woman suffrage,
and was the narrowcst kind of a narrow
guage declaration. The vote on the silver
plank had shown the strength of the mar
rows" but the broad guage people made
strong fight against the substitute After
a sharp debate, in which Helen NJ Cougar
vainly attempted to save the woman suf-
frage plank, the substitute was adopted by
u standing vote and the afternoon session
closed in the widest confusion.
The broad guage people Immediately
held n caucus and there were threats of q
bolt heard On every hand. A. L. Moore,
Of Michigan. presided and speeches were
made severely denouncing the action Of
the opposing faction. A motion was made
tn adjourn the caucus to meet at p. m,
which was the hour for the convention to
meet, but upon further consideration this
radical action was abandoned and il was
decided to- go into the convention and
await results. Nearly every broad gauge
delegate was present at the caucus, and
there was talk of bolt and forming q
separate party. However. when the even.
Ing session opened the broad gaugers were

Gompers comes to the city at this time in
response to rather an imperative request
made by the Federated Trades Council of
Milwaukee to consider the existing condi-
tons resulting from the strike of street
railway men. He will use every effort in
his power to bring about an honorable
settlement of the strike. The company is
now operating cars the same as before any
trouble began, the only noticeable differ
ence being that the cars are not as we'll
