Two Recruits for Silver.-Senaiors
Carter and Shoup to Abandon
Gold Standard.
Washington, D. c., June % The
ranks Of the republican, silver sena
tors are about to be augmented.
Senator Thomas Carter of Montana
ard Ser ator George Shoup Of Idaho
have practically decided to abandon
the republican party. They are soon
to renounce the gold standard wing
and to give their fealty to free silver
at the ratio of 16 to l.
This prospective action on the
part Ct Shoup and Carter has been
freely discussed in Senatorial cloak
rooms, and it is no secret that the
two have themselves talked freely of
the matter to their close friends.
They have been considering the step
for some time Perhaps both of
them may vote for the tariff bill, bu.
neither will act further with the
party on the currency issue.
Senator Carter remained with the
gold standard wing of the party after
the st. Louis convention, although
his constituents were clamorous for
silver. He wants to get in touch
with them again. AS fer Senator
Shoup, he knows that he must aban
don the gold standard if he is to be
re elected to the Senate. The people
Of Idaho are after him and ex Seua.
tor Dubois is almost certain to sue

Same Tickets in the Field.

Same Tickets in the Field.
Des Moines, Ia. June 24.-The
democratic state convention adjourn
ed early Yesterday evening, having
completed it's work. The two allied
conventions, the silver republican
and the populist conventions, com
pleted their work slightly in advance.
The three allies were, after much
controversy, able to agree on one
platform, with free silver as the main
idea, and one ticket, composed OF
two democrats, two silver republi
cans and one populist. The ticket
will bs placed on the official ballot
under the name: democrat
When this became known there
was q split 10 the populist conven-
hon, the middle-of the road faction,
under the leadership of A. W. G.
Weeks, walking out The feceders
numbered probably 100 of the dele
gates. Gen. j. B. Weaver's faction
remained with the democrats, where
upon, he was bitterly denounced.
But for this rupture, the union Of
NIL the free silver forces would have
been complete.
The ticket is composed as follows:
For Governor-F. E. White dem
Of Keokuk, Ia.
For Lieutenant Governor-B. A.
Plummer (silver rep of Winnebago
county.
For Judge Supreme Court-L 6.
Kinne (dem of Polk county.
For Railroad Commissioners.
B. Grain (pop.) of Dallas county.
For Superintendent Instruction
G. F. Rheinehart (silver rep.) OF
Jasper county.
Mr.. White, the candidate for gov.
srnor, was formerly member of
Congress from the Sixth district.
Mr.. Plummer and Mr.. Rhinehart
are little known in state politics.
Nr. Grain was many years ago the
populist candidate for governor.
Judge Kiune is chief justice of the
Supreme court now. He supported
Bryan last year, but under some
protests. He is a prominent demo-
. crat.
The sentiment of the convention
was almost overwhelmingly for Bry.
sAn. Every referance to his name
was greeted with lusty cheering. In
point Of numbers it was one Of the
largest democratic conventions ever
held in this city aud IN point of en-.
bhusiasm it will compare favorably
with any of them.
The platform, in part, is as follows:
The democracy Of Iowa. in cop-
vsntion assembled, sends greetings
TO the nearly 100000 patriots who
participated aud aided in the battle
Of The people in the struggle for
their rights in the last campaign by
giving renewed expression OF devo-
zion to the principles of the dsmcc
racy OF the nation as set forth in
the platform adopted by the demo
cratic party at Chicago in 1896.
1--WE lay special emphasis upon
that portion of the national platform
Of the democratic party on the finau-
Gial question, believing that ths very
existence of the farming, laboring
and commercial interests of the
country depend upon change of
our financial policy, and We enter
into the first campaign after the
great battle Of the people against
she combined corporate and money
power in which that peerless states
man and patriot, w. ]. Bryan was
cur leader, with the reasrertion that
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of both gold aud silver at
the present legal ratio of 16 to l,

sent of any other nation"

TnE BELL CASE.

3 ii
Court Granted "a New Trial Upon the APP
piicatiob OF the Iron Gu.
The decision of the court to allow
new trial in the cgso of the Diamond
State Iron Co., d. b. a., and Draper V.
Bell, p. b. r., involves very Important
point TO local manufacturers. When the
case went to the Jury it returned q
verdict In favor of Bell, who had sued
the company for sl0.54 wages. The
company claimed that he could not
recover that balance because he left tho
employment of the company without
giving rwo weeks notice thereof, as he
was bound to 40 unuer the rules OF the
company. II was shown that Bell had
nssented to the rules; and according to
tne court, the company had a right
TO make such rules for the proper
conduct OF it's business; and il the rule
was hssented TO by the plaintiff at the
time of his employment, it would be a
part of the contract. and he would be
hound by 1t. The court further held
that under these circumstances il he
left without giving two weeks notice,
the verdict should he for the company.
Although the Jury decided in favor of
Bell, yet the court grants new trial
IN the ground that from the testimony
of Bell himself the verdict was con
trury to the evidence and against the
law applicable thereto This decision
is important, not only to the manufact-
uring concerns Of this city, hut also TO
the great body of the workmen therein,
as it prevents any one important man
in a gang from stopping suddenly and
thereby throwing others out of work.
| The rulo is not an uncommon one
throughout the country. as was shown
from the decisions in other States
where it had been involved in similar
litigation. Lewis G. Vandegrift repre-
scented the iron company and II. III.
