Silver Republicans.

After a long and exciting debate,
it looked several times as if Charles
A. Towne would be nominated for
vice president in spite of his protest
against such action, but the national
convention of the silver republican
party adjourned sine die without
making a nomination, the whole
matter being referred to the national
committee with power to act. w. j..
Bryan was made the unanimous
choice of the convention for presi-
dent, and it was the intention to COM
plete the ticket by the nomination OF
former Congressman Towne. The
action of the democratic convention,
however, in placing Adiai E. Steven
son in nomination took the delegates
off their feet, but most OF them assert
ed their determination to nominate
Mr.. Towne Notwithstanding. For two
hours Senator Teller, former con
gresham Shafroth of Colorado and
others made speeches in favor OF en-
dorsing the democratic ticket, but it
was'not until Towne himself appeared
and appealed to the convention not
to nominate him, but to concentrate
their forces, that the delegates be-
came calm, and the vice-presidential
nomination was referred to the ma
tional committee.

KANSAS CITY,-(Special. WIN. j

night unanimously placed in nomi-
nation as the democratic candidate
for President on a democratic plat
form opposing imperialism, militar-
ism and trusts, and specifically de-
claring for the free coinage Of silver
at a ratio of 16 to l. The nomina-
tion came as the elimination OF q
frenzied demonstration in honor OF
the party leader, lasting twenty-seven
minutes, and giving utterance to all
the pent up emotions OF the vast
multitude. 1t followed also fierce
struggle throughout thirty-six hours
concerning the platform declaration
of silver and the relative position
which the silver question is to main
tain to the other great issues Of the
day.

be made. Not only were the usual

VIII Be Ready for Service in China, 81
Needed.
AS a result OF thorough consider
alton Of the subject by the secretary
of war, Lieutenant General Miles and
Adjutant General Corbin, orders were
Issued by the war department Sat-
urday for the dispatch Of 6,254 regu-
lar troops to the Philippines, with
view to their utilization in China, in
case it is found necessary to divert
them to that country. These troops
are intended primarily to relieve the
volunteers i'll the Philippines and
will only be diverted to China in the
event that circumstances demand it.
The force is made up of two battal-
ions each of the Fifteenth, Second,
Fifth and Eighth infantry, two squad
rons each Of the First and Ninth cav
airy, one squadron of the Third and
a company Of engineers.
These troops will be forwarded as
rapidly as transportation arrange
ments can be perfected, and the en-
tire feet Of transports at San Fran
cisco and New York will be employed
in the work.
Japan is to begin the movement on
Pekin, according to Saturdays adj
vices, with the full consent of the
powers, and it is calculated that the
foreign relnforcements, including our
own, will arrive in China if they are
landed in season to finish the work
that may be left by the Japanese.

cause Otis stands for the administra-

But there are ample signs that the
country has had about all 1t wants OF

it wise to put a military man on the

the Democrats will at Kansas CITY.
Dewey has announced that he is out or
the presidential race and Admiral
Schley declines to be considered as

ta1y scandals to be investigated rlght
now. The Cuban scandal is not all
postal.
1t is recalled now that some SIX
months ago when a certain CUBAN
newspaper began charging American
officials with corruption, Gen. LUDLOW
then in command at Havana, prompt
ly threw the whole staff of the news
paper into Jail and practically sup
pressed the offending paper. Ihat
effective way of proving the purity OF
the military service couldn't be I'M

1t is well to note that five of the
inspectors in the Cuban postal service
who conveniently looked the other
way when Nelly and his confederates
were stealing postal funds, have been
"permitted to resign" One Of them is
the man who wrote such a laudatory
report of Neely's management as to
make the latter shed tears OF graft
tude as he grabbed for five thousand
dollars more a month than he mad

But it was soon evident that Stew
enson had strong following. At
the conclusion of the call he had
5594, which, however, was not
enough to nominate, the requisite
two-thirds being 264 more. Hill had
received 200 votes and Towne 894,
But before the announcement of the
result q strong-lunged delegate from
Tennessee stood on chair and an
nounced: Tennessee changes her
twenty-four votes from Hill to Stew
enson." This started the tide ire
sistibly toward Stevenson. From
every quarter of the hall came de-
mands for recognition. Alabama
changed to Stevenson; California did
the same and North Carolina changed
from Carr to Stevenson. Even New
York finally reluctantly announced
its change from Hill to Stevenson.
That ended it. Stevenson's nomina-
ton was assured, although for some
time longer the various states con-
tinued to record their changes from
Towne and other candidates to Stew
enson. In the end the nomination
was made unanimous. Its announce
ment was greeted with enthusiastic
applause, and again state standards
and banners were borne about the
building in tribute to the nominee.

HOW THE PEOPLE PAY.

While the trusts have here and there
increased the wages of their employees,
which had previously been reduced
from the 1892 scales, they have in every
instance not Cnly added several times
rs much to their own profits and made
the people foot the bill, but they have
failed also to restore wages to the old
standard before what has been called
hard times reductions. The Emporia
Times has taken the trouble to obtain
from the merchants of that city the
increase in price of articles of neces{
sity as compared with the selling pric&'
one year ago. Here are the figures it
gives:
Stoves have Increased so per cent.
Wagons have increased from four to
five dollars.
Copper has doubled in price.
Fourteen-inch plows that sold for
$40 now sell for s14.
Ropes that sold for cents pound
now sell for II cents.
A common stove pipe sold for 10
cents; now it goes at 20 cents.
Bolts and rods have gone up rs per
cent.
Tin has increased from $3.50 to So a
box.
Cultivators have increased from So
to 81.
Hoes, forks, rakes, shovels, spades,
and all such articles have gone up to
the consumer As per cent.
Nails, per keg, from 1920 to $40.
Barbed wire, galvanized, from $40
a hundred pounds to s4.60.
Binder Irvine, which cost 7 cents a
pound, now costs from II cents to 131h
cents.
Glass has Increased 40 per cent
Other articles of general use snow a

The past weeks scouting in Luzon
resulted in eleven Americans killed
and sixteen wounded. One hundred
and sixty Filipinos were killed during
the week, ard eight Americans, who
had been prisoners III the hands Of
the rebels, were surrendered, and a
hundred rifles were turned over to
the United States officials. The en-

given liberal instructions under
which the aisles and areas and all
available space were packed to their
fullest limit.
When the call OF states began for
the purpose of placing candidates in
nomination, Alabama yielded its
place at the head of the list to Ne
braska, and Oldham of that state
made his way to the platform to
place Mr.. Bryan in nomination. The
orator was strong-voiced and enter
tanning, and yet to the waiting dele
gates and spectators there was but
one point to his speech, and that was
the stirring peroration which closed
with the name of w. J. Bryan.
This was the signal for the demon
stration of the day. In common
purpose the great concourse joined in
q tribute of enthusiastic devotion to
the party leader. A huge oil portrait
of Bryan, measuring fifteen feet
across, was brought down the main
aisle before the delegates. At the
same time the standards of the state
delegates were torn from their sock
cts and waved on high, while umbrel-
las of red and blue; silk banners of
the several states and many hand
some and unique transparencies were
borne about the building amid the
deafening clamor of 10000 yelling,
gesticulating men and women. All of
the intensity of former demonstra-
tions and much more was added to
this final tribute to the leader,
When the demonstration had spent
itself the speeches seconding the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan were in or
der. Connecticut yielded to New
York, and Senator Hill arose amid
wild cheers.
Mr.. Hill was in fine voice, and his
tribute to the Nebraskan touched a
sympathetic cord in the hearts of the
audience. He pictured Bryan as the
champion of the plain people and of

Stevenson Nominated for Vice-Presldent.
The Democratic National ticket
was completed Friday by the nomi-
nation OF Adlai E. Stevenson for
Vice President. The nomination was
on the first ballot, state after state
Joining in the wild scramble to re-
cord their support of the winning
candidate. 1t was not accomplished
by any such frantic demonstration
of approval as had marked the pro-
ceedings of the previous stages, al
though the result followed spirited
and highly dramatic contest between
the advocates of Stevenson, Towne,
Hill and lesser candidates. The dis
tinct triumph of.the day in the way
of popular ovation was that accord
ed to Senator Hill. 1t was accom-
panied, too, by a remarkable scene
when Hill earnestly protested to his
friends against being placed in nomi-
nation and then, finding his protest
in vain, he strobe to the platform,
and in tones which left no doubt Of
his sincerity earnestly besought the
convention not to make him the
nominee.
The proceedings Friday moved
with greater briskness than on the
two preceding days, for there was
none OF the tedious waits for the
platform and committee reports.
1t was after 2 O'Clock when the
seconding speeches, many of them
wearisome, were completed and the
balloting began, AS the roll was
about to be called Mr.. Lewis appeared
on the platform and withdrew from
the contest,
The vote was followed with intense
interest, for when Alabama an
nounced 3 for Stevenson and 10 for
Hill it looked as though there would
be close contest.
