DECLARED AGAINST EREE SILVER. Hardin’s Friends Claim 400 Votes on the First Ballot and it Only Takes 441 to Nominate--There are Many (Jniustructed uelegations, However --On the Currency Question the Cold People Have a Good Majority—Nom inating Convention Meets June 25. Cincinnati, Ohio, June 18 —A special to the Post from Louisville, Ky., says that Hardin seems to be in the lead in the gubernatorial fight, but Clay is such a close second that the result is in doubt. Hardin's friends are claiming 400 votes for him on the first ballot, while others concede him a little less than 300. It takes 441 votes to nomi nate. Many of the big counties of the State are for Clay and one of these will offset several smaller ones that may be against him. Alford is practically out o e the race. On the currency question, it looks as though the gold people may win as they have up to this time a pretty fair major ity over the silver advocates. There are enough uninstructed counties and coun ties not yet heard from, however, to throw the convention either way. The Enquirer figures out the result as follows: Votes in convention 879; neces sary to a choice 441. Number heard from 627; instructed for Governor Har din 273; Clay 241; uninstructed 113 Instructed on the currency—for single gold standard 241; for free coinage of silver 154; doubtful (uninstructed) 229. The Courier-Journal’s Figures. Louisvlle Ky., June 18.—The Courier- Journal gives returns from 115 counties out of 119 in the State on yesterday’s primaries. The counties unieported have only 13 delegate votes, being Clin ton, E liott, Knott and Spencer. The report is therefore practically com plete, as follows: For Governor: Hardin, 126: Clay, 21; Alford, 2; Buckner, 5. For Lieut. Gov ernor. Tvler, 95; Brown, 38; Turner, 135. FREE SILVER IN KANSAS. The Bi-Metallic League Very Slimly Attended. Topeka, Kan., June 18.— -There were not to exceed 1 JO delegates in attendance at the bi metallic league to day. Tbe great majority of the delegates were Populists, but both the Republicans and Democratic parties were represented. It was admitted by those who issued the call of the convention that the influence of the politicians was responsible for the small attendance. At the evening session about 2,000 persons were in attendance to hear the address of Joseph C. Sibley, of Penn sylvania. A State central committee consisting of thirty-seventy members, one from each judicial district injthe State and about equally divided between the three political parties was appoint ed with instructions to do all in its power to increase the organiza tion in point of membership and to organize local leagues in every county in the State The committee on resolutions reported the stock resolutions of the bi metallic league declaring the unlimited coinage of silver, against the issue of government bonds in time of peace and against the issuance of paper money by any other agency than the federal gov ernment. The State Central Committee will, if it can raise the necessary funds, main tain headquarters in this city with a salaried secretary to keep up the cor respondence of the league and attend to the distribution of its literature. To night the silver men say that the day’s meeting was simply a conference, and that a popular convention will be held iu the fail. THE TEACHERS’ ASSEMBLY.!

Cleveland, Ohio, June 18.—Fire to night destroyed the Reynolds restaurant and the workshops of the Cleveland Desk Company in Court Place, and indi rectly resulted in two fatalities. The fire made a big illumination, and a lady guest of the Wright House, three blocks distaut, went to the roof of the hotel to witness the conflagration. She became entangled in a live electric light wire. ILr screams attracted Thomas Bell, of No. 178 Taylor street, who, in his effort to rescue the woman, was him self fatally burned. When they were extricated from the deadly wire, Bell was removed to the General Hospital, and the woman, whose body still showed some signs of life, was takeai to the Huron Street Hospital. No one has identified her. The loss was only 12,500. AHEAD AT JOHNS HOPKINS. Four ol the Six Honorary Scholar ships Go to Wake Forest Men. Special to the News and Observer. Wake Forest, N.

At mid night the doctors are much en couraged The Governor’s temperature and pulse have been fading slightly. He speaks in a clear voice, breathes better and says he feels better. The symptoms of peritonitis are no more threatening than they were to-day. While his condition is extremely critical there is more ground to hope for his re covery than there bad been since the at tack of appendicitis first became manifest. WILL BUILD A NEW TOW N.

DOWN WITH SILVER “SOUND MONEY” THE SLOGAN OF TIIE REPUBLICANS AT CLEVELAND. MANY DELEGATES HAVE ARRIVED. The Monetary Question is Uppermost in the Minds ol all the Delegates to the National Republican League Convention and a Warm Discussion is Inevitable—No one Able to Tell Exactly What Action Will be Taken —Gen. Me Alpine Will be President. Cleveland, Ohio, June 18. —Partial delegations from many of the Western and Southern States to the National Re publican league Convention had arrived at noon to-day. The free silver sentiments of the for mer were being advocated in all of the hotel lobbies and at the headquarters of the local committees. Much to the surprise of the Westerners, the Southern men were not en rapport with their sentiments. The I/misiana and Mississippi delegates were loud iu their talk for sound money. The early arrivals from those States announced that they would vigorously oppose any action in the money question that looked toward free silver declarations. The feeling is stroug that any resolutions that may be introduced in the conven tion on the money question would be smothered in by the committee. On the eve oi the National Republican League Convention the man who can tell which way the cat will jump on the ail absorbing money question does not live. It is not even a certainty that the cat will jump as the feeling seems to be strengthened, with the arrival of each delegation, that the money question should be handled like a hot a tone. By ev ery train delegates and visitors have been brought to the city to day and to-night all the hotel lobbies and the side walks are crowded with enthusiastic Republi cans discussing politics and the money question in particular. There was a big surprise in store for the delegates and, visitors who were seeking information on the money question. Among the ar rivals during the day were the advance guards of the Southern States. There was little comfort for tbe West ern advocates of free silver in the utter ances of these men from the South. “Sound money” was their slogan. “ky only purpose in coming to the convention,” said Mr. Lea, a promi nent Vicksburg, Mississippi, Republi can, “was to do all in my power to prevent a declaration in favor of free silver. The only silver men in our State are Democrats. The Republicans are to a man for sound money. Our party can make nothing by getting into the breakers on this money controversy. The tariff should be the issue in the coming campaign. On that the party is united. On the money question it can not be so hopelessly divided.” “That is a fair expression of the sen timent of our party in the State of Mis sissippi,” interposed 001. J. P. Stevens, of Macon, Miss. The colored delegated from Louisiana are headed by H. H. Blunt, the Presi dent of the State League. Blunt is one of the most prominent colored Republi cans in Louisiana. At the Denver con vention last year he made a rousing speech in opposition to a resolution pro viding for the division of caucuses in the Southern States on race lines. The colored men were at once cor roded by a number of Western delegates who catechised them on their position on the money question. “The Louisiana delegation will be solid for sound money if the issue is made in the convention,” said Bount “We do not think that it is the business of this convention to declare either for or against free silver.” The members of the Arkansas delega tion are decorated with yellow badges bearing the incription “Sound Money.” ' Senator Carter,of Montana,and Dubois, of Idaho arrived from Washington late in the afternoon. Their advent was hailed with delight by tbe free silver delegates from the west as their recent utterances have marked them as leaders of the white metal forces. To a United Press reporter Senator Dubois said : “In my judgment it is not within the province of this league to make platforms for the Republican party. I suppose, however, that the usual cis tom of adopting resolutions will prevail. Any declaration on the money question must be on a free silver basis or the lie publican party cannot how* 1 - ... *ound the wjs niug i,; rid I ha. e pledged myseir work uiircmiitingly for a free silver» c!ar:.rior “Tbe citizens of ? sa*' ffied v’ t.l .... < ■> r straddle. Fiaoi IVUI Ul a gold standard. Tbe point has been reached in this great question where the Republican party must choose between gold monometallism and the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1.” Senator Carter said: “I am not here as a United States Senator or as a chair man of the Republican National Com mittee, but as a delegate and au humble citizen of Montana. My views on the silver question are well known and if there is a fight on the question I will, of course, be as the other delegates from my State, for the white metal. It seems to mo, however, that the objects of this league are to promote hi rmony in the party rather than to usurp the platform perog atives of the National Republican Con vention. I’m not in favor of any declara tion of principles by the league that will be binding upon next year’s National Convention.” The feeling between the gold and sil ver men is very bitter and there is much talk of preventing auy discussion in con vention. Col. Isaac Trumbo, of Salt Lake City, is red hot for silver but entirely free from presidential aspirations. “As to silver,” said he, “you can say that we will present tbe subject and insist that some definite action be taken. A com promise resolution will not satisfy our people. If no other delegate introduces the silver question I will.” Editor H. C. Plumbley, of the Fargo, N. D. Forum said: “The chief object of our trip is to insist that the league shall not take action on the money ques tion. ” From expressions heard on all sides it is pretty hard to figure out how the free silver men will bo able to master enough votes to adopt a free silver resolution. The opposition to such a declaration seems to be fairly well concentrated and fully as aggressive as the silverites. Not an avowed candidate for the presidency has appeared in opposition to Gen. E. A. Mc- Alpine of New York and his friends de clare that he will be elected by acclama tion. Secretary B. Humphrey also seems to be certain of re-election. The Philadelphia Delegation. Philadelphia, June 18.— The Phila delphia delegates to the convention of the Republican National League of Clubs, left for Cleveland this afternoon. Cleveland will be reached early to-* morrow r morning. Soon after arrival a caucus will be held by the entire Penn sylvania delegation to discuss methods for defeating the propagation of un limited silver coinage ideas or any move ment having for its object the passage of resolutions committing the National League ia favor of free silver. FORMING ANOTHER TRUST. A Combination of the Iron Manuluc turins Concerns ol the South. New York, June 18. —A movement which promises to result in the forma tion of a combination of the more im portant iron producing and manufactu ring concerns <sf the South was inaugu rated in this city to-day at a meeting of the executive committee of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. There were present at this meeting John H. Inman, C. C. Baldwin, James T. Woodward, J. Edward Sim mons, James Swann and President N. Baxter, Jr. Although the entire details of the meeting were not made public it was stated that the Tennessee Company had entered into an agreement with the Sloss Iron a; d Steel Company, which has heretofore been a most active com petitor, for the formation of a joint sell ing agency, the object of which is to en able the two concerns to market their products at a greatly reduced cost. It is understood that the committeo likewise discussed plans for the regula tion of prices and took measures looking to the prevention of the sharp cutting in prices which has proved so hurtful to the industry in the past. It is expected that a new schedule will be announced shortly. The Tennessee company to day made an advance of 50 cents a ton in the price for pig iron, which makes an advance since April Ist of $1.75 per ton. This advance, it is calculated, will increase the revenue of the company by nearly $1,000,000 a year. The stock, of the Tennessee Iron and Coal Company reflected the new order of things by advancing over a point from Saturday and selling at 36 3 8, the top figure of the year. This reports a rise in the stock of over ten points within a month. A meeting of the directors will be held shortly, at which Samuel Spencer, of the Southern Railway, and August Belmont, of the Louisville & Nashville, will be elected members of the board. It was stated to-day that they are to enter the board of directors for the purpose of se curing for their companies the major portion of the tonnago which it is ex pected will result from the new combi nation.
