OUTLINES The silver men,: before going into the , the convention, prepared themselves for ; every possible phase cf the expected light with the gold element over the or ganization and control of the convention; "the National Democratic Convention was called to'order by Mr. Harrity.chair- maof the Democratic National Com mittee, who presented the name of D. B .'Hi'tl. of New York? for temporary chairmm; the minority report of the National Coiimittee was presented recommending John W.

The gold bug got in his work in the Michigan Democratic State Con vention, and now the grasshoppers are eat'ng up everything green in sight and are threatening the farm ers' fences.

When a National bank man advo cates the free coinage of silver, it is pretty go 3d proof that he is sincere, but when he resigns .an $18,000 a year position, as Mr. - St; John did, rather than keep his mouth shut, . there isn't much ground to doubt that he is in dead earnest.

Some of the Northern doctors are j quoted as saying that there is no such thing as genuine rabies from the bite of a dog, that it is purely a nervous disease and that when death results it is from brooding over the bite, and imagination does the .rest. Brooding and imagination doubtless have much to do with the fatalities in such cases, but how will they ac count for the deaths of cattle, hogs and other animals from the bites of dogs? Irmay be said they do riot die from these bites, but if so what is it that kills them with such horrid suffering? I The New York Times, gold organ, remarks that "the sound monev Democrats at Chicago are chiefly oc cupied in trying to determine what is the wisest bourse for them to take at and after! the- convention' The wisest course for them to take js to take down their gold 'flag, go over to silver and make it unanimous like the gold fellows in the North Cleve land State convention did, and then whoop it up for the grand bid De mocracy. . It is said that the reason why Charles A. Dana, of .the New York Sun, is physically and mentally so vigorous is that he never permits himself to get in a hurry. He al ways takes his time, sharpens his darts, takes deliberate aim, lets them $y and generally hits something. And then he enjoys seeing that some thing wriggling around. . Mr. Dana gets about as much , fun out of his work as any man in America. The free silver men lack only about. 39 of having a two-thirds majority at Chicago. The gold men have been counting on solid gold delegations from the East, but with the showing the free silver men. are making in those States the chances of the free silver men getting those 39 are pretty good. , Senator Gorman is drinking water (and something else)- at Saratoga, while the other gold fellows are wrestling with the silver fellows at Chicago, -When the convention gets through and the gold fellows find they are not 'in it," Gorman wilf take water again and whoop it up for the 'ticket. . A Delaware man who has spent the past twenty-nine years in the house, although in good health, sur- prised-his friends in an adjoining town bv making- them a visit the other day. Bat it took a pretty fair- sized cyclone, which demolished his house, to drive him out on to terra firma. - The largest sheet of tin ever made in this country was carried in a Mc Klnlev procession in canton one day last week. Quite appropriate. Tin-plate is galvanized iron. Mc- Kinley is a galvanized candidate himself. The gold men. put the color on him. . The Republican protectionists are opposed to letting stuff come in un-' taxed from Canada, Cuba, Hawaii and other outlying territory, but , they don't object to taking them in and thus removing the tariff from everything they produce.

The, news of -Daniel's election as temporary chairman ofvthe Chicago convention was welcome news to the silver Democrats of Wilmington. The vote was 656 for John W. Daniel and 349 for David B. Hill. Daniel's vote was within 47 of two-thirds. Mr. Guy Card well, ot the At lantic Coast Line office, has returned from Richmond, Va., where he has been attending the funeral of his younger brother, who died there at the residence of his mother. Mr. Cardwell's friends sympathize with him in his loss. " j The silver Democrats acted i3ely in electing one of their owu faith temporary chairman of the Chicago convention. The contest was only a siirmish. but prudent Generals try to win skirmishes as well as battles. The friends of free coinage have carried the outposts of the gold army, and they are now read? for the general assault. - A little girl, daughter of Mr. Wm. Hall, an ex-policeman, was taken with a spasm yesterday afternoon on Second street near Princess. Mr. P. A. Fiynn, who was near, picked up the child and took her into Mr. R. H.

Cummings, in his letter to the New York Journal on the situation at Chicago,; says: Meantime there is a close cloud on tbe horizon of all the candidates. It is an effort to place in the field the name of A. H. Garland, President Cleveland's former Attorney-General. His honesty and undoubted ability, to say nothing of his recent remarkable silver letter, will make him formidable as a compromise candidate if the fibt becomes bitter and hot." e tor m warning. .

A Chicago correspondent of the New York Journal rites : "Ben T. Cable, the leader of the sound money men of Illinois, takes a gloomy view of the situation from the go'd stand point. He sees nothing but defeat for the cause the East represents. He takes no stock in the hope expressed by some ot these gold men to the effect that if the silver candidates quarrel among themselves sufficiently vigorously tbe gold men will be able to dominate the convention. , "It . is useless to harbor delusions,' said Mr. Cable to-day. "There is abso- lutelv no hone for us. This convention is going to adopt a free silver platform at the ratio of 16 to 1. It is going to nominate a canaiaaie iu hi me uiawuiui. - I can see no earthiy hope of Changing this result. The silver men may be auairelling among themselves now over the question of candidates, but the minute the cause of free silver seems to; be in j;opardy, that- minute will thev smooth out their differences and become united. ..: .". "This silver crazs is going to grow. It is going to become as dominant, in the East as it is to-day in the West. Tbe gentlemen from the East with whom I have talked do nor seem to realize the peculiar quality of the silver mania. It is worse than the grip; the contagion' is in tbe air. I am not prepared to state what will occur in the Eastern States, but I do s y. after a thorough tour of this State, that Minois will give a Dem ocratic maionty of 50,000 lor a tree sil ver candidate. --..SO-IK- L DO Y0TJ TAKE ITt !
