IF the convention. Mr.. Sloane said in
the Keynote.


Silver the Keynote.
"The people of Ohio, and indeed, Of the
Union, are to be congratulated upon this
large asscmblage. foi il is convention
OF representatives Of the whole people, the
masses. and not Of bosses. of trusts. OF
syndicates. or OF hired tools of the des-
potism of Wall and Lombard street greed.
This convention comes from the common
people, and owes its allegiance alone to
them. In these respects what contrast
it offers to the late convention at Toledo,
for Tint convention was not called, or
ganized or controlled along the lines OF
what the fathers Of the Republican party
taught. but merely to obey the mandates
to do the will of Mark Hanna. 1t is ex-
pected that your temporary chairman
shall strike the keynote of the coming
campaign. Well, that keynote shall be
sounded on silver chord. 1t will be no
new note but a prolongation Of that sound
ed by the national convention Mt Chi
cago last summer and one that has grcwn
in power and volume since carried in
grand diapason of more than 6,0O0. 900
voices TO the polls last November"
Just before the convention was called to
order a large gold cross was carried into
the hall. 1t had as ornaments the crown
of thorns and a clock indicating 16 min
utes to | o'clock. The speech Of Chair
man Sloane was frequently interrupted
with the widest demonstrations of ap-
plause, especially in his references to sill
yer.
James Gilmore Of Eaton presented the
report Of conference had between the
central committee and committee from
the silver Republicans, at which the latter
asked for representation on the ticket.
Judge Gilmore thought the matter beyond
the province of the committee on rules.
and suggested that the convention deal
with the matter. A camor followed.
which increased when a similar request
from the Populsts was read. w. T..
HackLey. chairman of the Cuyahoga
County delegation, opposed in impassion-
ed language any concession to either the
silver Republicans or the Populists, and
moved to lay the special reports on the
table This proposition was received with
tuinuItuous applause. Mr.. Hackney pro-
cecded to assert that the Chicago olaf
form was broad enough for any one TO
stand upon, and il any third or fourth
party wanted to get on they could do so,
but only as Democrats.
Two silver Republicans in the audience
arose almost together to ask whether
they were to understand that they were
not wanted. Chairman Sloane advised
the gentlemen that personally he would
like to see a representative of that party
on the ticket, but he understood the senti
ment of the delegates to be adverse to
recognition. The theory Of the chair was
supported by practically unanimous vote
of the convention.

tional Bimetallic League and chairman
Of the committee on resolutions, read the

CORNELL ROWS TO FAME.
Ithacans Eesy Winners In the Tri
angular Varsity Race.


angular Varsity Race.
Amid scenes such as were never wit
messed before at an American boat race.
the shrieking Of many steam whistles, the
booming of scores Of cannon and the deaf
ening cheers from thousands of throats,
Cornell rowed through lane formed by
hotilla Of various kinds of craft, all in
full-dress and ablaze with color, on the
Hudson river, the winner of the most i'm
portant intercollegiate contest Of its kind
ever decided in this country, and crown
ed with the proud title of Uncle Sans
queen Of the water. 1t was the greatest
achievement ever accomplished by Cor
nell, whose history fairly bristles with
aquatic conquests, and the winner is en-
titled to all the glory that goes with such
a victory.
Cornell won by three and one-fourth
lengths from Yale, the latter being mt
least half dozen lengths in the van Of
Harvard at the time OF crossing the finish
line and when the Crimson stopped row.
ing. The official time is: Cornell, cO:3I; |;
Yale, 20:44, and Harvard, 21:OO.
While it is true that the time does not
approach the worlds record Of 1879,
made by Cornell last year, being one min
ute and quarter slower, it was a great
struggle for supremacy. Cornells victory
was especially sensational for the reason
that neither Yale nor Harvard considered
the Ithacans for moment. Yale's train
ers, crew, undergraduates and alumni
feared only Harvard. Harvard feared
only Yale. Both spoke slightingly of Cor
nell, who was not thought factor in the
contest.
As spectacle the race was one of su-
preme interest, and to say that it was seen
by thousands is to speak conservatively.
The observation train alone held 1000.
The railroad tracks for mile at the finish
were closely packed. A dozen large ex-
cursion boats, not including feet from
New York City, showed decks black with
observers. A fotilla of yachts mile long
had large parties aboard, and on the
Poughkeepsie side of the river every hill
and rock was thronged.

plank denouncing trusts, which had been
agreed upon in committee with the under
standing that it was to be submitted as q

part of the platform without dissent

Nee OF a Lock, but Fail.
The bank of Rogers & Son Mt Chagrin
Falls, o., was entered the other night, and
IL the burglars had been given five min
utes more time they would have opened
the safe and got $4,000 in cash. The
electric railroad from Chagrin Falls to
Cleveland passes along a street 100 feet
from the bank building. The robbers
climbed pole and tapped the feed wire.
Two wires were then strung up an alley
to the bank building and taken through
a transom to the big safe. Carbons were
fastened to each wire and brought to bear
on the knob Of the combination of the
safe. The lock was being melted when
the last car for the night OF. the electric
road reached the barn and the power was
shut off, The burglars saw that they
were defeated, and, having no tools suita-
bic to break the safe, escaped.

COXEY IN THE SADDLE.
Another Tramp Upheaval Promised by
the Commonwealth.

st. Louis January 1.-the most i'm
portant feature of the CnmiAonweal con-
ference Just concluded in the Lindell
hotel, is a resolution Of Gen. Jacob 5.
Coxey for 9 second assembling of the
unemployed workmen all over the coun-
try for the purpose of making such de-
monstration as shall appeal not only TO
Congress, but the legislature of every
state, in the hope of inducing the leg
islation that will ameliorate the pres
emit condition of the workman. In short,
Gen. Coxey's resolution is revival OF
the agitation of couple of years ago,
which resulted in the famous march Of
the Coinmonweal army to Washington.
This resolution, which is destined to
become as famous as Coxey's first pro-
cIamation, calls on the unemployed
workmen of every city and hamlet in the
United States to assemble in the public
square or other places on February ~,
Washingtoa's birthday, in open mass
meeting. The purpose of these mass
M ceilings is to demonstrate in the most
practical manner the extent of distress
aud daatituti0n prevailing through
out the country by reason of the scarcity
of work.
This, it is argued, will be the most
toroible offset lesson that could be de-
vised, and, Gen. Coxsy believes. will
force LEGISLATION looking 10 this ameliora-
tion of the condition of the workingmen
that otherwise could not be secured as
expeditioasly as desired. 1t is le in
tention to register each unemployed
workingman in every city and town
and TO farward these records to the
fountain head of legislation at Washing
ton with unremitting regularity until
some concentrated action is taken by
Congress to improve tie condition of
labor and bring about such reforms in
existing laws as will restore the prospect
ty of the nation.
