Philadelphia Police Hope to Find Clue
in Mysterious Death of Dr..
w H. Wilson.

PHILADELPHIA Pa, July IL
Now that the police have complete con-
troll of the investigation into the mystic
rious case of DR.. William II. Wilson,
who died after drinking a bottle of ale
containing cyanide of potassium, sent
him by express, it is expected that some
thing tangible in the way OF u clue will
soon be found.
The district attorneys office is in pos
session of about 1900 letters that had
been received by DR.. Wilson during his
Ipractice and each one will be closely
jscrutinized in the hope of furnishing a
lclue Many of these letters are from
iwomen patients VINO will be visited by
detectives. One difficulty in the way is
THAT most of the letters are signed in a
lsecret cipher code and the police will
have trouble in identifying the writers.
! A further investigation of the pur-
chase of the letter So used by the muir
derer in stamping the ale bottle will also
Zoe made.

~ music. 1t was noticeable that the
delegates from the states which have
shown fight against the Nebraskan did
not leave their seats. The cheering was
confined to the delegates.
A halt in the procession was caused
by a delegate who yelled so wildly that
his teeth flew out. They rolled under the
press stand and hewent down on his hands
and knees to recover his eating ma
chrnery' while the parade behind him
halted until he had recovered the teeth.

Laughter and cheers greeted Tempo
rOary Chairman Bells announcement that
he had read deeply in the Chicago plat
form and he had failed to find therein
anything about Republican prosperity"
His sarcastic illusions to the claims of
excellent management of the country
made by the Republicans also elected the
approval of the delegates.
AS Mr.. Bell approached the subject of
anti-injunctiOn plank, the attention of
the contention was quickened and his
statement that the Republican declara-
ton on that subject was merely a recital
of existing law called out increased APP
plause.
Flags and hats went up in a cloud,
and voices rose in Il storm of approval
when the speaker asserted that the popu-
larity of the present administration is
due to the Democratic principles he
has practiced."
The prediction of Mr.. Bell that the
convention would name the next Presi-
dent of the United States and alluded
in the most pointed manner to Mr..
Bryan, the roar Of delight broke loose
once more. Many of the New York dele
gates joined in the cheers.
The following resolutions were offered
by l. J. Dunn of Omaha Neb., who will
place William ]. Bryan in nominations:
AS it has pleased the Ruler of the Uni
verse to remove from our midst Grover
Cleveland. late President of the United
States. who was three times the candidate
of the Democratic party, be it

traordirary degree the clements of leader

party, and.

warmest sympathy and coincidence to his
