his. of Indianapolis whom he said had
given forty years of his life in defend
ing the principles as enunciated by the
Republican party. The Indiana states
man was heartily cheered when he
arose to address the convention. He
discussed the financial question first,
arguing for I6-to-1 silver. and in con-
clusion said that the great trusts of the
country were the outgrowth of an or
SANITATION of shameless men who are
the greatest enemies of society. BIZ
metallism as opposed to monometallism
is the true salvation and the basis on
which the great political and economic
questions must be settled
President TarVin then introduced
Hon. D. 5. Oliver. of Cincinnati. who
presented Ex-Governor John p. Altseld.

hats and cheering Justify until the ex-

and Caustic vein. While Governor Alt

Bryan. who had arrived in the city
earlier in the evening, reached the
theatre. He was admitted to the stage
by rear entrance and took a seat be-
hind the flies where he awaited the

1899 JUNE. 1899


The woman who speaks her mind
freely on all occasions had been telling
the sad eyed stranger to whom she had
been introduced what she thought of
Mormonism. Her remarks were elo-
quent and acrimonious. She had ii flow
of language which never failed and was
fortified with facts which could not be
refuted. He listened patiently till she
had finished and then said meekly,
Eyes, madam; I'm Mormon myself.
Il don't care, she exclaimed,
though her face Redeemed little. "a
man ought to be satisfied with marry
ing one woman to wait on him and be
browbeaten by him.
81 don t browbeat anybody" he re-
sponded reproachfully.
1T doesn't make any difference
whether you do or not. No man has
any business to marry two wives
Il agree with you perfectly. madam. .
''Hai You admit it. -
"Ye I'M; no man ought to have two
wives. If he takes more than one. he
ought to stick to odd numbers ard have
three, five or seven. 1t obviates the ne
cessity of a mans mixing in. In case
of family dispute it provides for a
deciding vote and prevents deadlock. "

LEADERS ARE ALL ON HAND.
And Politics at Columbus, d., Is Waxing
Warmer and Warmer.

Columbus, o.. June with Senators
Foraker and Hanna, the Ohio Republic
an representatives, and other leaders all
here the indications are that there may
be two opposing states on the state
ticket arranged before the Republican
state convention assemblies today, but
nothing definite can be learned as to the
combinations. Hanna arrived early in
the afternoon, when he was kept busy
comforting with the candidates for gov
ernor and others. but the first thing he
did after supper was to have a long con-
ference with George &. Cox. Later Cox
conferred with Nash, Daugherty and
other candidates. and also with ex-
Chairman Kurtz and other leaders, but
he still holds the secret of his course of
procedure on the balloting for tomor-
row.
While Cox was known to be in confer
ence with Hanna there were rumors
that Cox had quarreled with Kurtz and
McKissOn, and even with Daugherty,
but such was not the case. Cox is on
intimate terms with ell of them. There
are still three leading forces represented
by Nash, Dausherty and the favorite of
KurtZ-the latter not yet named. al
though indications yesterday pointed
strongly to Lieutenant Governor Jones
as the man. 1t is estimated that the
first ballot will stand: Nash, 275; Daugh-
erty. 265: Jones. As: with the other votes
between Douglas, Durbin, Hall, Neyin,
Smyser, Orr. Shattuc and Brigham. and
401 necessary to nominate. The feature
of the skirmishing last night was the
boom given Nash since Harna's confer
ences. and the subsequent tendency of
the field to concentrate against Nash.
1t has been customary for candidates
for governor to call on the governor.
Governor Bushnell returned from the
Memorial Day exercises at the Sandusky
Soldiers Home yesterday He did ret
wait for courtesies. but in the afternoon
called with members of his staff at the
headquarters of all the candidates for
governor. He did not call on Senator
Hanna, whose rooms are on the same
floor and adjoining the row of guberna-
torial head quarters. Later in the even
ing Bushnell met Senator Foraker. Next
to George b. Cox the most reticent man
here who is in the inner councils. is
Charles L Kurtz. who was dethroned
as state chairman by Hanna two years
ago and who afterward led the fusion
opposition to Hanna's election as sena-
tor. Kurtz is TOW against Hanna man.
Among those here working for Judge
Nash is Charles Foster. secretary of the
treasury under the Harrison admins
tration.

A lady who did not appear to be in a
very good temper bounced into a GER
tain grocer shop the other afternoon
SIS your father at home p she asked
of the small boy behind the counter.
'No'm, was the reply Anything

The lady hesitated before remarking:
I've called to complain about the
eggs l obtained from your father this
morning. He told me they were fresh
laid, and
did he get 'em from the window p
asked the youthful salesman.
Yes"
''Then it's all right. 'm-they' re
fresh laid
But / say they are not
You II excuse me, M" said the
youngster, endeavoring to be polite.

Louisville June 1.-The Ohio Valley
League OF Bimetallic Clubs. comprising
the states Of Ohio. Irdiara. Illinois and
Kentucky. is holding its third annual
convention ir this city. Macauley's
theatre, the scene Of the gathering o.
the white metal hosts. was profuseIy
decorated when the convention was
allied 10 order At 2:30 T. n. yesterday. A
likeness OF VIM J. Bryan was suspended
from the fly imme diately over the
Speakers stand, while pictures of
Thomas jefferson and Andrew Jackson
hung from The two upper boxes. The
national colors in flags and bunting
completely covered the walls Of the
theatre, presenting an inviting and
artistic appearance. When President
Tarvin. OF the Bimetallic League. began
his annual address the lower floor was
only comfortably filed. while the bal
cony was only partially occupied and
the gallery entirely deserted.
Delegates Welcomed by the Mayor.
The boxes were occupied by ladies'
wives and daughters of the delegates
But as the convention progressed the
crowd increased until perhaps 1000
people were in the theatre The con-
Vention was called to order at 2:30
o'clock by Chairman Semonin, of the
local committee. who introduced Mayor
Weaver, Of Louisville. who extended Il
hearty welcome to the delegates. At
the conclusion of his address Judge
Tarvin was introduced. and spoke at
consid srable length. His remarks were
at times received with the greatest
enthusiast President Tarvin's speech
was OF more than a passing national
significance. as it pTesaGad what is to

timent prevailing in their respective
districts
Silver the Paramount Issue.
When he declared that bimetallism
and the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l. as was enunciated in
the Chicago platform of 1896, would be
the paramount issue in the presidential
campaign of 1900 regardless of the eff
forts to have the question of trusts
supTIant it. he met with an outburst of
applause that indicated an overwhelm-
ing approval Of his utterances. 1t was
evident, too. from the reception of all
references to the Nebraska statesman,
that resolutions would be adopted in
dorsing his candidacy for the presi-
Dental nomination and that incOrpOr-
ated in the resolution Will be r5af-
frmation Of the principles as outlined
in the Chicago platform.
Confident of Victory Next Year.
Following Judge Tarvin. Representa-
tive James Nj. Robinson, of Indiana. ,
made an impromptu speech. In refer
ence to the coming campaign of 1900 ,
the speaker said that it lay with the !
Democratic party to name the victor.
and that it would make a great mis-
take if it did not select Bryan. The |
votes which Bryan got in 1896, he said. !
were only pledges on the part of the |
voters to carry the standard of bimetal- |
lism to n triumphant finish in our next |
national election. These pledges, he |
