:ALUK3tAN FOR PRESIDENT,
i
What utter folly it is to make the
finance a question in the State cam
paign. Yet we have heard intelli
gent men assert that, "they would
not vote for a man lor the office of
township constable, unless his posi
tion on the finance were well defined.
It is a great pity that' we cann6f elim
inate, national questions from the
State Campaign " !
There are only a dozen or so men
before the 'people . who will have any
say in the'settlement of the financial
question, then why. seek to make
every candidate (for whatever posi
liondeclare his individual ideas on
a subject upon which it will never be
his office to act.
It looks to us like asking a drug
clerk questions in geography in order
that we may ascertain his aptitude
for the compounding of chemicals.
; ' The greatest convention ever held
in America is now in session at Chi
cago. .. It is not, we believe. a.ny cx
ageration to say that never before in
the history of this or any other coim ;
try has there been an assembly w.hich,;
represented more brain or money.
. We shall endeavor, to give our
readers an outline of the work accom
plished by the convention up to the
time of going to press.
" The main features of the conven
tion will be the adoption of a platform
and the' nomination of candidates for
the Presidency and Vice-Presidency.
That both tire platform and the
candidates will ' be unquestionably for
silver (at sixteen to one) seems at
this time to be assured. ;
It may however turn out different
ly. Witness the recent action of the
Republican convention st St. Louis
where, : notwithstanding- the large
number of free silver men, a straight
out gold platform was adopted. "
It is to be hoped that nothing rash
will be done in Chicago. The only
chance of success for Democracy in
November will be a united and solid
front Strife among the party lead
ers means sure defeat.
; The situation at Chicago is grow
ing more interesting every, day.' The
trouble seems to be that the free-silver
advocates are in a quandary
concerning,, the prospective divi
sion of the vote for the white metal.
If the platform is not made suffi
ciently radical to suit the Populists,
then that party will go off by itself
and nominate a ticket which will un
doubtedly draw a good many votes.
On the other hand, if the platform
is made to conform to the wishes of
these gentlemen, it will probably be
offensive to many lite-long Demo
crats who might swallow the silver
plank if characterized by only a little
conservatism and not united with tod
many other theories savoring of pop
ulism. ' The riddle is truly a serious one
for the white-metal followers, and we
are inclined to think it will worry
them a good deal more than the op
position of the gold wing, - which
seems to be numerically disqualified
for any formidable campaign of ob
jection or resistance. Norfolk Landmark.

At last they have met. There is
gathered ml the Chicago Coleseum,
silver Democrats, gold Democrats
and silver Republicans. The majori
ty of true blue silver Democrats are
in a large majority, and as the case is
under such circumstances modera-
i,
tion is not given its proper place.
But such was the rule only for an in
stance. The silverites were so full of
enthusiasm over their first victory
that they were overjoyed-
The wtr opened in trust when
Mr. Clayton the member of the
National committee, from Arkansas
read before the convention the min
ority report of that committee. This
announcement was met with repeated
i .
applaus'e from the 600 silver dele-
gates present . After a cross fire for
several minutes from. the gold camp
a vote was taken. The result was

After the uproar had subsided Mr.
Harrity stepping forward introduced
Mr. Daniels! thus: "Gentlemen I
i
have the hondr of introducing to you
your temporary chairman the Hon.
J. W. Daniel df Virginia." Mr. Dan
iel taking the gavel spoke thus in
short:' ."Mr.' Chairman, Harrity, I
express the sentiment of the; conven
tion when I say that no National
Convention was ever Dresided over
with more ability or with more fare
ness than by ypurs It. The success
depends on my modelling my course
after )ro,jrs, and by the hearty co
, . .- i ' .!
operation of every one of our mem
bers being given me.
The strife which attended my
nomination and, election"-was not a
- r . a
personal one, but rather "was it an ex
pressjon of thq silver sentiment in
which so many of us believe.
The strife was Democratic. The
majority of the people believe in this
seiitiment thus jit would be - against
duty and ' convictions not to have
fought a majority report which was
wholly against our position. .
WEDNESDAY'S CONVENTION.

-The convention met at 10. si
Senator White j of. California was
chosen permanent chairman.
Chairman calls on committee on
credentials, but the report being un
finished the committee was called to
meet in the committee room for con
sultation immediately :
Gov. Hogg, -of Texas, was asked
to address the convention. Gov.
Hogg advocated j friendliness among
Democrats and predicted for them a
glorious victory in November if a har
monious working was secured. He
denounced the Republican platform
as a mass of glittering : generalites to
deceive the people. He denounced
protection as only a machine which
tended to make the rich" richer with
out any provision whatever being
made for the working man. . -
Gov. Altgeld asked to address the
coevention. He claims that nearly
everything is under mortgage? "from
the farms to the machines of the
seamstress." He says that the en
tire United States is looking for re
lief from this convention. Mr. Alt
geld claims that the gold standard
has lowered prices j of farm products
while the farmer is forced to pay
higher prices for eyerthing he uses.
He denounces gold men as. those
who are trying to put halters:
around the necks of the American
laboring man. The result of such a
policy he says aids English capital
and makes vassals of - the. . la
borers of our own country
The Committee 'j on Credentials
seated gold delegates from Michigan;
silver delegates frorri Indiana ; Ohio,
silver ; South Dakota, silver.

- There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country , than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced .it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh ta be a; con
stitutional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney; & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful.- It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for s ny case it fails to cure.
