Chicago Tribune Tells of Illinois
Gold Democrats.

Chicago, July e.-The Tribune says.
Most of the gold Democrats who are ac-
tive In politics, and who in 1886 worked
for the placing of a gold Democratic
ticket in the field in Illinois, have been
won over to the regular Democratic fold
by the conciliatory policy of Mayor Har-
rison, Robert E. Burke. Thomas Gahan,
and other Democratic leaders While they
do not approve wholly of the 16 to 1 plank
and the candidacy of Bryan, they are
anxious to be in line for political prefer
ment, and are unwilling to make an ac-
tive fight against free silver and its apos-
tie. Roger c. Sullivan, John p Hopkins.
Adolf Kraus. and Thomas A Moran, four
of the prominent leaders of the gold
Democratic party in 1896, are now sup
porting the regular ticket and platform,
and their example is being followed by
minor leaders and ward politicians who
oppose free silver.
Owing to his age and recent physical
disabilities General John NJ. Palmer of Il
hnois, candidate of the gold Democrats
for president in 1896 is unable to assume
the active leadership of gold Democratic
party. General John G. Black. candidate
for governor of Illinois in 1895, has moth
ing to say about the possibility Of start
ing another gold Democratic movement

I believe that the Republicans will
carry Kansas by an overwhelming ma
5ority,' he said, "and that the national

popular majority on record. The ticket
named at Kansas City will not be a
popular one, especially among the DEM

JOB FOR HOBSON.
He May Superintend Repairing of the
Oregon.

New York, July 9.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Unless international complications
should arise, Secretary Long will not or
der the battleship Oregon to proceed to
Taku when her repairs have been COM
pleted. Upon arrival at kure, to which
point he is taking the vessel for dock
ing, Captain G. W. Wilde, commanding
will order a board of survey to determ-
inc what repairs are necessary.
It may be that Naval Constructor
Hobson, who is undergoing treatment at
Yokohama will. if well enough, GO to
Kure to supervise the repairs. 1t is un-
derstood that the Oregon will be retain
ed in japanese waters and will be avail
able for service in China should the in
ternational situation require her pres
ence. The authorities do not propose,
however, again to risk this valuable
ship by sending her into the Gulf of
Pechili without need for such action.
