Prospects Encouraging for
Enormous Delegation.

ADVANCE GUARD SOW ON THE SCENE.
One of the Largeat Conventions Ever Held
In This I'ountiy to Consider ft Ques
tion of Political Ecououay De
sire to Meet thal)tuer.
I Memphis, ienn., June 10. There as-
6embles in Memphis next Wednesday
' one of the largest conventions ever held
to cousuier a single question of politi
cal economs' in this country.
The present indications point to a
magnificent vindication of the pro
moters of the movement to settle south
ern and western silver people together
in a great legislative body. The call
was actuated by theholding of the big
convention in this city on May 2"rd,
when the opponents of free coinage,
living in the south, sent delegates to
hear Secretary Carlisle speak and to
give expression; to their views on the
money question in a series of well de
fined resolutions. The meeting of the
opponents of the free coinage of silver
was looked upon as the inauguration
of a strong and vigorous campaign of
education along the line of the dele
gates' views and the bimetallic league
considered it imperative to take, action
that would counteract the influence of
its opponents.
All southern and western states will
be represented and delegates have been
appointed in the larger cities. It locks
as though 1,500 or 2,000 delegates will
participate in the proceedings of the
feathering. They are -coming from
every county of Mississippi, almost
everywhere in Arkansas and Tennes
see, and the representation from Louis
iana, Georgia and Alabama will be
very nearly as large.
Dispatches have been received daily
for the past week anuouncing the com
ing of. silver delegations from every
quarter and tonight the hotels will be
gin to fill with enthusiastic supporters
of free coinage.
Besides the delegates who will come
to Memphis while the convention is in
progress, indications now point to the
presence of at least 10,000 visitors.
The railroads have put on the reduced
rate tickets and in several instances will
run special trains for the accommoda
tion of those who will come. The five
roadjs will run specials from all points
within 150 miles of the city.
GROVER WILL BE PRESENT.

Their errand is to invite President
Cleveland and members of his cabinet
to attend the opening of the Exposition
on the 18th of September next. They
had expected to present the invitation
to President Cleveland today, but inas
much as he will not be in city, having
previously arranged, members of the I
visiting delegation say, for a day's fish
ing, they will not be able to see him
until Tuesday. Mr. Cabiness expresses
the utmost cocfidence that the invita
tion will be accepted and that the Ex- j
position opening will be attended by
the chief magistrate. j
The delegation will be accompanied 1
to the white house Tuesday by Secre- 1
tary Hoke Smith, who will return to- j
day from a short visit to his family in

POSSIBLY A COLORED CHAPLAIN
Kentucky . Representatives Holplne
Oat
That to Their Constituents.
Washington, June 10, It may be
that the next house of representatives
will have a colored man for its chap
lain. At least Representative-elect
Walter Evans, of the fifth Kentucky
district, is holding out that promise to I
me coiorea people who were very in
strumental in his election. Mr. Evans
is now working up the republicans' of
Kentucky for the support of the repub
lican nominee for the governorship.
He has among the people there a good
many followers who are ministers of
colored churches and while it is not
Known mat he has promised any one ol i
them his support, he has declined his !
belief that, the fifty fourth congress
, . ,,. . J , , .
being republican in pontics, should
recognize the colored race by having a
colored man as its chaplain. It is un-
derstood that all of the five republi- i
can representatives elected to the nexl !
congress from Kentucky concur with
Mr. iwans in this view, and that t hi?
movement among the colored people is
solidifying them in the' support of the
republican nominee.

I am not and will not he a presidential can

j While business throughout the country may,

tone of staple markets continues strong, and
i cannot figure in a good demand when the tall
season opens next month remains unabated.
The features of the week as heretofore Is the
continued long list of advances In prices, nota

movement of bank clearings. Higher prices
are recorded for some cotton goods, shoes,
hides, leather, paper, pig iron, steel, galvani

wheat, corn, oates and some grades of wheat
flour. Prices for live cattle, wool, coal and
lumber are reported unchanged and firm, while
silver, cotton, petroleum and lard alone are
noteworthy as showing lower prices than last
week.

THE APPEAL CASE UP
Arguments Heard in the South
Carolina Registration Case.
ATT0R5EI BARBER OPENS FOR STATE
The Trend of HI Remarks Was That the
Federal Court Had bo Jurisdiction
In the Premises Mr. Douglass
Appears for Petitioners. I,
Richmond, Va., June 8. Argument
In the South Carolina registration case
was begun in the United States circuit
court of appeals yesterday before Chief
Justice Fuller, Judges Hughes and
Seymour.
Attorney General Barber opened for
the state of South Carolina. The trend
of his opening remarks was that the
federal courts bad no jurisdiction in the
premises. He said it was set forth by
Judge Goff that the petitioner was a
colored man, and therefore the refusal
of the laws of South Carolina to permit
him to vote was in violation of the fif
teenth amendment of the constitution.
Mr. Barber called the attention of
the court to the fact that nowhere in
the record did this fact that the peti
tioner was colored appear, though it
was commented upon by attorneys in"
the lower court, and very prominently
brought to the attention of Judge Goff
when he granted the injunction.
The attorney general stated that in
stead of providing for a discrimination
against any voter, the law set forth
that any male citizen, regardless of
race, color or condition, who had resid
ed In the state for one year, was enti
tled to vote. It was not the law, he
said, .that caused Judge Goff to hola
that voters were being denied their
privileges, but it was the abuse of the
law by people ostensibly working un
der it. He contended that the law
should not be held responsible for dere
lictions of election officers.
Mr. Douglas made the opening speech
for the petitioner. He prefaced his ar
gument with the statement that though
he and hi6 associate, Mr.-O'Bear, ap
peared in opposition to the cause of the
states, they were tn no sense against
the state (except that they were en
deavoring to bring about right.) In
addressing himself to the question of
the jurisdiction of the U. S. court ho
Baid that if a wrong was committed,
and the effort of that wrong was to
disfranchise a voter, and thereby im
peril the federal elections, he .contend
ed that a federal court in question had
jurisdiction. The law, he said, was in
violation ofj section 1. article 14, of the
constitution of the United States. Mr.
Douglas, continuing, directly attacked
the law aud argued that it was enacted
simply for the purpose of disfranchis
ing the negro vote.
Mr. Douglas was ..followed bxJMr,
O'Bear, his associate, whose argument
was largely of a legal nature. He held
that the court had jurisdiction to hear
and act in the case, and then occupied
some time in the citation of various
authorities and cases bearing upon the
matter at issue.
Gen. Edward McCreary made the
closing speech for the state. lie began
his argument by making a careful ex
planation of the registration laws, and
showing that the circumstances which
existed when they were enacted justi
fied their passage. He compared them
to various other registration laws and
argued that they were not more un
just or discrimating than the laws of
other states, which at various times had
been declared constitutional, and thus,
though the laws had been in existence
since 1876, their constitutionality
had never been questioned till 1895.
He said if they had been as unjust as
they are charged to be, they would not
have been allowed to have remained so
long unquestioned. He claimed that
the whole case was a political one, and j
that Mills was only a figure head, and
the speaker did not know so far as the '
record went, whether Mills was white !
or colored. General McCreary closed
his very brief argument by saying he
thought the court was in full posses
sion of all the facts and that it would ;
be unnecessary for him to ask the at-'
tention of the court further.
- The chief justice was asked if it were
allowable to submit briefs but none i
were forthcoming. Three days were i
given each side in which to hand, the;
cases to substantiate their petitions.
They court adjourned till Monday at 10 :
o'clock.

Kay 11 There is No 'celty For One'
Philadelphia, Pa., June 8. Nation
al Chairman William P. Harrity, has
written the following open Jetter in
answer to queries put to him regarding
the possibility of a democratic national
convention in the near future to take
action on the subject of free silver.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jane 6, I896-
I do not expett or intend to call a meeting of
the Democratic national committee until next
whiter when it will meet for the purr
fixing the time and place for holding the dem
ocratic national convention of 1896 until I nhall
be requested to do no by the requisite number
of the members of the democratic national
committee . "
I do not believe there Is any necessity for a
convention at thin time; on the contraty, I am
of the opinion that to call one now would be
harmful to the business Interests of the coun-
try, and prejudicial to the welfare of the dem
ocratic party. William P. Harbitt.
Chairman of the national committee.
When called upon yesterday, Mr
Harrity stated that he had no viewa to
