THE V ARG CLAIMING TII E VIC
TORY IN THE KENTUCKY
CONVENTION.
IT WiLL BE A COMPROMISE.
HARDIN 13 GAINING STRENGTH
AMONG UNINSTRUCTED
DELEGATES.
SILVER CANDIDATE LIKELY TO WIN.
The Clay Men Were Beaten In the Se
lection of a Temporary Chairman,
Though the Choice ot Roth Sides
Was a Gold Man—A Majority es the
Committee on Resolutions are Op
posed to Silver—Tbe Chicago f’lat
lorm o(1892 Will be Adopted.
Convention Hall, Louisville, Ky.,
June 25.—Ac doou to-day Johu D. Car
roll, Chairman of the State Central
Committee called to order vrhat will pro
bably prove the most interesting Demo
cratic Convention ever held in Ken
tucky. There is a big free silver contin
gent in the State led by Senator Black
burn, but in this convention the gold ad
vocates are largely in the majority and
the platform will undoubtedly endorse
that adopted by the National Conven
tion in Chicago in,1892.
This is not, strictly speaking, a gold
platform, but it is unequivocally against
the free coinage of 16 to 1, and the sil
ver men of Kentucky will not be satis
fied with less than this.
The Clay men this morning are claim
ing increased strength during the night
and the Harain men are not so san
guine, but it is still far from settled
who will be the gubernatorial nomi
nee. Besides a Governor this convention
will select a Lieutenant Governor, Secre
tary of State, Treasurer, Superintendent
of Public Ins' ruction, Attorney-Gen
eral, Auditor of Land Deeds and Com
missioner of Agriculture. It will take at
least two days to finish the work and
probaoly three or four. The organiza
tion of the committee on resolutions
which is composed of one man from each
of the eleven districts and two at large
to be appointed by the chairman, shows
a majority of gold men in the commit
tee. Os the eleven already chosen,
seven are gold advocates and four for
free silver. As the chairman will ap
appoint the other two and as they are
almost sure to be gold men, the com
mittee will then stand nine for gold and
four for silver. The committee is as fol
lows:
First, Gus Coulter, silver; second, W.
T. Ellis, silver; third, John Rhea, silver;
fourth, Ed. Walker silver; fifth, J. M.
Atherton, g Id; sixth, R H. Elliston,
gold; seventh, Arthur Yeager, gold;
eighth, James B. McCreary, gold; ninth,
John F. Hager, gold; tenth, John Salyer,
gold; eleventh, George Stone, gold;
Joe U S. Blackburn was beateu by 20
votes in the Seventh district by Arthur
Yeager, a gold man.
BreckuerChosen Chairman.
Nominations being next in order,
Judge Wm. Breckuer, and ex
Congressmaa W. J. Stone, of Lyons
county were nominated for temporary
chairman. The voting was watched with
much interest as the vote was a test vote,
Breekner being the Hardin man and
Stone, the choice of the Ciay men.
Judge Breekner received 448 1 2 votes
on the first ballot against 320 1-2 receiv
ed by Stone. In taking his place as
chairman he said:
“I do not take the result of this ballot
as a compliment to myself. The gentle
man 1 have seen fit to represent in this
convention has w’on the fight. We have
met here at a time when the return of
prosperity is vindicating the Democratic
party. Everything is happening just as
the Democrats said it would. Let us act
in harmony. I heard a man say once:
“ ‘Why cannot the Democrats act in
harmony as the Republicans do V We’re
not built that way. The Republican con
vention was dictated by a bass. We bave
no collars about our necks. We are not
afraid to face our record.”
J. K Schrader, William Cromwell aud
James E Stone were elected secretaries
of the convention. The list of com
mittees was then sent to the clerk’s
desk, after which the chairman an
nounced the members at large of the
Committee on Resolutions as Judge
William Lindsay and K. D. Clardy. Mr.
Lindsay is a strong gold advocate, while
Mr. Clardy is a free silver admirer, bu:
has not yet determined whether he wants
al6 to 1 ratio. The convention then
took a recess until 8 o’clock to night.
Blackburn Criticised.
Senator Joe Blackburn is being some
what criticised for trying to get in on
the committee on resolutions after he
had been beaten for the place in his own
district the seventh. When the clerk
called out the second district, the chair
man announced the Blackburn had re
ceived the proxy of W. T. Ellis, who was
regularly chosen by the delegation. The
Second is a free silver di.-trict and readily
consented to the arrangement that the
eloquent Senator might have a chance
to use his oratory to some advantage in
championing the cause of the white
metal. Chairman Breckuer did not see
it that way, however, and sent word
that 1«; could not for a moment enter
tain such a proposition as Blackburn was
not a resident of the Second district.
The Evening Session,
Music- Hall was packed to overflow
ing when Chairman Breekner called
the convention to order this eveu
ing. A brilliant assemblage filled
the boxes and a greater part of the
stage, many of the ladies present
wearing evening dress. The eon
vention began in a hubub over a ros
elution offered by Arthur Wallace, of
Louisville, declaring it un-American
to discriminate against any man or wo
man because of their religious prefer
ence. The chair referred the resolution
to the committee on resolutions. Several
of the anti A. P. A. delegates insisted
on having the resolution put to the con
vention, but instead one was put and
passed that all resolutions go to the
committee for consideration.
A dozen delegates were on their feet
at once shouting for recognition, and
each wished to push a different motion.
For a w hile the chairman lost all control
of the assemblage, and for an hour it
seemed that it would be impossible to
maintain order. J. P. Helm, chairman
of the committee on permanent organ
izition, recommended as permanent
chairman Congressman J. S. Berry,
James E. Stone for permanent Secretary,
and Edward McGrath for Sergeant at-
Arms. These officers were chosen.
In assuming the chairmanship Mr.
Berry said:
“The Republicans have been endeav
oring to persuade the people that all the
ha (1 times were caused by the Demo
cratic party, when, in fact, they were
caused by their own iniquities. We have
some differences about the currency, but
let us make a united front and down the
Republicans. Let us move shoulder to
shoulder to a triumph in November such
a? shall teach them a lesson.”
A motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock
tomorrow was made by the Clay meu.jgg
The clerk was au hour calling the roll
owing to the tremen ous confusion. It
was an hour more before quiet could be
sufficiently restored for the chairman to
announce the result—66l noes to 217
ayes.
After the announcement the disorder
increased. A hundretj motions were
made but the chairman- recognized no
body.
Word was sent to the chair that the
committee on credentials would not be
ready to report until mid-night, aud it
was announced by the chairman that no
business could be properly transacted un
til the members were properly seated.
There were several contested delegations
one of them being.from Louisville. Not
withstanding the fact that no business
could be transacted, even if the noise
would permit, the convention persistenty
refused to adjourn and kept up a con
stant fling in tersposed with cat calls
and df “Mr. Chairman.”
They might have as well appealed to a
post. The chairman in the b.-lief that it
would be impossible to go ahead listened
to nobody and sat at the table writing a
letter. A more extraordinary scene has
seldom been seen in a State convention.
Gen. Wm Lindsay, of Frankfort, was
elected chairman of the committee on
resolutions.
Confusion Ends All Business.
At a late hour it looks as though
business had come to an end for
the night in the Democratic convention.
For hours there- has been nothing but
noise and confusion on the part ot the
vast assemblage, which completely fills
Music Hall. Every effort of the chair
man up to 10:30 o'clock to restore older
has been ineffectual. Hundreds of mo
tions have been made and none put to
a vote and the entire session his been
one continuous pandemonium.
At the day session the gold advocates
claim they have achieved a decided vic
tory in the election of Judge Breekner,
an admirer of the yellow currency, to
the temporary chairmanship. The vote
was 448 1 2 for Breekner to 419 1 2 for
W. J. Stone. Had stone been elected
the victory could have been claimed
with equal confidence, for he also was
an opponent of free silver. The vote, it
is claimed, was a test of the respective
strength of the Clay and Hardin fae
tioDs. The Hardin men believe that their
candidate showed strength to win, but
the Clay men say there will be some
changes when a ballot for Governor is
taken.
Three Report* on Platform.
The committee on resolutions will
make three reports. One of them sign
ed by John S. Rhea and W. T. Ellis, de
clares in favor of free coinage; the sec
ond, signed by J. D. Clardy and E. D.
Walker, re-affirms the Chicago platform
of 1892, which is a conservative endorse
ment of a gold standard, and a third to
which is affixed the names of other mem
bers, endorses the administration
and mentions especially the names of
Carlisle and Cleveland. The report
signed by Clardy and Walker also
endorses the administration, but men
tions no names. The committee so far
has not been a harmonious one. With
two factions, each of nearly equal
strength, to contest every point raised,
it could hardly be an entirely harmoni
ous assemblage. There is more at s* ake
than has ever bten before aud the Dem
ocrats of the State feel that they must
go slowly. That is just what they are
doing, but quietly.
The city is full of Republicans who are
waiting anxiously to see who is nomi
nated. Among these is W. O Bradly,
the Republican nominee for Governor
and George Denny. Jr., who recently
beat W. C. Owens in the race for Con
gress in the Ashland district. Almost to
a man the liepublicans would like to see
Hardin nominated because he will pre
sent the somewhat singular spectacle of a
free silver man running on a platform
whioh has a plank for gold and endorsee
the administration. Hardin it is claim
ed, asked the committee on resolutions
to give him a silver plank to stand on
for the benefit of the party, but the gold
standard men would not agree to sacri
fice their principles aud the minority re
port was the result.
RALEIGH, N. C.. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, !895.
GERMANY AND SILVER
THAT COUNTRY NOT IJKELY TO
CALL AN INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE.
BARON VON THIELMAN’S VIEWS.
The Farming Element of Germany are
Bimetallists ami Believe There is
Need ot More Money-Price of Farm
Products Have Decreased and They
Think Relief can only Come Through
Increased Use of Silver—But a Maj
ority of the States are Opposed to It.
Washington, D. C., June 25. —The
German Ambassador, Baron Von Thiel
tnan, was asked this morning what ac
tion Germany will take with reference
to the calling of an international mone
tary conference. Baron Von Thielman
replied:
“Speaking strictly for myself and in
not in an official capacity, I do not be
lieve that Germany will take the initia
tive. A large and influential element
of our population are demanding an in
flation of our national finances. This
element believe that we need more
silver. They are bi-metallists. They
include very generally the agra
rian population of the North and
East. The conditions with them
are not dissimilar to those among
the so called Granger element in the
United States, particularly in the South
and West. In both countries the price
of farm products has materially de
creased, and a change for the better, iu
their opinion, can only come through a
redundancy of the circulating medium.”
“Are jon favorable to an increased
coinage of silver ?”
“I am not. lam a gold man. Aud
yet,” continued the Ambassador, “the
party to which I belong—the Conserva
tive party —is mainly favorable to the
free silver policy.”
“Do the Conservatives represent the
majority of the German people ?”
“No; I should say that one third of
our people are Conservatives, one-third
are Liberals and the remainder make up
the Central or Catholic party.
“I'he Catholic party does not stand
for any material interest, and its vote,
therefore, is given, sometimes to the
Conservatives and at other times to the
Liberals. They are, politically, an un
certain quantity. The Liberals are
mainly gold men, but not wholly so; no
more so, in fact, than all the Conser na
tives are advocates of free silver.”
“What are the material differences
between the Conservatives and the Lib
erals?”
“Before answering that question,” re
plied the Ambassador, with a quiet
smile, “let me ask you a question. What
are the differences between the Republi
c *n and Democratic parties in the United
States ? The Eastern Republican, as I
understand it, is a high protectionist.
The Western Republican, not infrequently
demands a revision of the tariff and free
trade relations with the rest of the
world. The Western and Southern Dem
ocrats are radical tariff reformers, but
many Eastern Democrats are protection
ists. Now, can you tell me just what
the actual difference between the two
parties is? No! Well, that will explain
the situation in Germany, so far as our
two great political parties is concerned.
Speaking generally, the Conservatives
are protectionists and the L’berals are
not. ”
“Will not the agragrian element be
sufficiently powerful to force the govern
meat to issue invitations to au interna
tional money conference ?”
“Speaking strictly for myself, I should
say not. The majority of our States—
we have twenty-five in all—oppose the
proposition. lam certain that the im
perial government will take no step in
the matter until the Reichstag assembles
in November. Much will depend upon
their action.”
FEARFUL RAVAGES OF FEVER
Men Hying by the Score* of Vel low
Fever in Santo*.
Baltimore, Md., June 25.—The
American barkentine Priscilla, Captain
Klages, arrived here to-day from Rio
and Santos, with a cargo of 14,254 bags
of coffee.
Capt. Khge-s reports that when the
Priscilla left Santos, May 12th, yellow
fever was raging ou every side, and the
scenes iu the city and harbor were bar
rowing.
Men were dropping dead in the streets,
dying by scores in the city and on the
vessels in port. Some of the vessels had
their flags at halt mast day after day
for weeks, as man after man of their
crews succumbed to the scourge. The
deathboat was beiug rowed about the
harbor day ami night from vessels collect
ing the dead and taking them ashore for
burial. Some vessels had only one or
two men left of their entire crews, and
many of them were unable to get away
from the pest, hole of fever owing to lack
of men.
Seamen were scarce aud when ves
sels lost their crews it was with the
greatest difficulty men were secured to
take their places. Captains of vessels
had to exercise the greatest caution to
prevent their crews deserting or being
lured ashore by the boarding house
masters.
Gladstone Retire* From Public Life.
London, Jane 25.— Hon. Herbert Glad
stone this morning, definitely stated that
his father would take no further part in
public life.
SILVER MEETINv* AT HICKORY.
Butler, Tillman and Sibley are Expec
ted to be Present at the Meeting.
Special to the News and Observer.
Hickory, Juno 25.
A call has been issued requesting all
the friends of silver in this section to as
semble in Hickory, July 12th.
Senators Butler aud Tillman and Hon.
Joseph Sibley are expected. The free
coinage sentiment is very strong among
the Democrats of Catawba county, but
it is hardly probable that they will par
ticipate actively in the proposed meet
ing.
The Democrats cannot take kindly
to a meeting engineered by the great
co-operationist and the avowed president
ial candidate of the embryonic silver
party.
Mr. L. L. Witherspoon, of Newtou,
who has recently declared his probable
affiliation with tho Republican party,
seems to occupy a peculiar position.
At the last Democratic Judicial Con
vention for this district, he received the
solid support of the Catawba delegation.
Some doubts having been expressed
concerning Mr. Witherspoon’s political
position, he took occasion, in an address
delivered before the Democratic Club of
Hickory last fall, to bitterly deny the
aspersions, defend the Democratic Presi
dent and Congress, and declare that he
“had never been anything but a Demo
crat.” He has waited until a late day
before expressing his conversion.
A good deal of building is going on
here, Messrs. T. E. Fields, E B. Cline
and J. H. Aiken are erecting handsome
residences. Dr. 3. F. Whiteside has ra
cently completed extensive additions to
his house.
Rev. Thoe. Hume D. D., is spending a
few days at the home of E. B. Cline,
Esq.
Mr. Smith, representative from Stanly
county in the last Legislature, paid a
short visit to Hickory this week.
Cadet C. G. Hall, of West Point, is
spending his furlough with his father
Mr. P. C. Hall, of this city.
CHARLOTTE NAVAL RESERVES.
They Fail to Turn Out at Inspection
ot the State Guard.
Special to the News and Observer.
Charlotte, N. C., June 25.
The Naval Reserves failed to turn out
yesterday at inspection, and Col. A. L.
Smith, Inspector General, says under a
law of the recent Legislature incorpor
awag them in the State Guard, this
means disbandment and a surrender of
guns and accoutrements to the State.
Swift Davis, acting Captain, pending
court-martial proceedings against Capt.
Wilkes, says the failure to turn out was
on personal grounds, in connection with
the court-martial, as well as in connec
tion with Officer Winslow, who is said
to be unpopular with the boys.
A true bill for larceney was to-day
found against Humphries, the Atlanta
man charged a month ago with entering
the room of Assistant District Attorney
Covington at the Central Hotel and
stealing money. Humphries is said to
belong to one of the most respectable
families in Georgia and to have stood
high.
The funeral of young Ross Robertson
was largely attended, the Hornets’ Nest
Rifles being in uniform. Among those
from a distance were Mrs. A. B. An
drews and A. B. Andrews, Jr, of
Raleigh.
HEATH OF MR. GEO. F. BISSELL.
He Was One ot the Best Known In
surance Men in the Country.
Special to the News and Observer
Asheville, N. C , June 25.
Geo. F. Bissell, of Chicago, Superin
tendent for the Hartford Insurance Com
pany in the Southern and Western
States, died at here yesterday of con
sumption.
Mr. Bissell was one of ihe lest known
insurance men in the country, having
been manager for thirty years of the
Hartford, with territory extending from
Pennsylvania to the Rocky Mountains.
He was Vice President of the American
Exchange Bank, President of the Illinois
Chapter of the Society of Sons of the
Revolution, and ex-President of the
Union League Club. He was sixty-seven
years old. The remains will be taken to
Chicago to-morrow.
Ed. Knight, living west of this city,
took an axe and crushed a railroad tor
pedo. A piece of the shell struck a vein
in Knight’s neck, and it is thought he
cannot recover.
GOLH MEN WIN IN OHIO.
Anti-Free Silver Men Fix the Hate ot
the State Convention.
Columbus, Ohio, June 25.—Senator
Brice and the anti-free silver Democrats
easily controlled the State Central Com
mitiee in its meeting to-day to fix the
date of the State convention and provide
a temporary organization.
The demand of Allen W. ThurmaD and
the free silver Democrats for an early
convention was ignored.
The convention, it was decided, will
be held in Springfield on August 20 and
21st.
Senator Brice, by a vote of 19 to 2,
was chosen temporary chairman, and so
will make the key-note speech of the
campaign. It will, of course, bo for
“Sound Money.”
His election will subsequently be made
unanimous.
11. W. Lewis, of Dayton, was chosen
secretary, and George Foster, of Upper
Sandusky, sergeant-at-arms.
The Behring Sea fisheries bill passed
its third reading in the House of Lords
yesterday, after which Lord Roseliery
moved that the House adjourn.
NEW CABINET FORMED
LOR B SALISBURY FORMALLY
ACCEPTS THE APPOINTMENT
AS PREMIER.
MEMBERS OF THE NEW MINISTRY.
Besides Becoming Prime Minister Lord
Salisbury Will Take the Foreign
Portfolio Temporarily--The Duke of
Devonshire Lord President of the
Council and Mr. Balfour First Lord
of the Treasury—Mr. Gladstone
Thinks the Resignation a Mistake.
London, June 25. —An official dispatch
from Windsor announces that Lord Sal
isbury has accepted the commission to
form a ministry and kissed the hand of
Her Majesty upon being formally ap
pointed Premier.
The Unionist leaders held a conference
at Lord Salisbury’s residence at 11 o’clock
this morning. The Duke of Devonshire,
Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Balfour, Mr.
Goschf and Sir Michael Hicks-Beaeh
were present.
Lord Salisbury went to Windsor again
this afternoon. The Central News is
authority for the statement that Lord
Salisbury, during his interview with the
Queen informed her Majesty that he was
ready to form a Ministry and submitted
for her approval a list of the names of
the members of the proposed new cabi
net.
The members of the new Ministry, so
far as they have been selected are offi
eially announced as follows:
Prime Minister and Secretary of State
for foreign affairs the Marquis of Salis
bury; Lord President of the Council, the
Duke of Devonshire; First Lord of the
Treasury, Right Hon Arthur James
Balfour; Secretary of State for the Colo
nies, Right Hon. Jos. Chamberlain;
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Right Hon.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach; First Lord of
the Admirality, Right Hon. George
Joachim Goschen. The other places in
the Ministry have not as yet been deft
nitely allotted.
The United Press learns that Lord
Salisbury, besides becoming Prime Min
ister, will take the foreign portfolio tem
porarily. He has made overtures to the
Marquis of Dufferin to resign his present
office of British Ambassador to France
and become Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs.
The Westminister Gazette says the 4
Lord Rosebery has not received any co-»
munieation from Lord Salisbury iu re
gard to the conditions of the latter’s ac
cepting the office, reports to the con
trary notwithstanding.
The Pall Mall Gazette says that Mr.
Gladstone at his conference with Lord
Rosebery last night seriously questioned
the wisdom of the resignation of the
ministry.
Certain liberals believe that Mr.
Gladstone, having been physically forti
fied by his cruise in the North sea, will
throw the weight of his influence and
eloquence upon the side of his old col
leagues, but the ex-Premier’s personal
friends are strongly opposed to his tak
ing any such course, fearing that the
excitement and exertion might cause a
physical reaction.
The House of Commons met at 3
o’clock this afternoon and after the tran
saction of minor business occupying 40,
minutes adjourned until noon to-mor
row.
Sir. William Harcourt, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, said he had hoped to be
able to give definite information at this
time about the course affairs would take
but it was impossible for him to do so
as such information was not in his pos
session. Therefore it was better that
the House should adjourn.
The National Liberal Federation has
in course of preparation a manifesto
dealing with the coming general elec
tions.
John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ire
land. will open the campaign on July
4th at Manchester, where he will ad
dress a mass meeting of the party.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
the TEAC HERS’ ASSEMBLY.
! 1 6® Second W eek of the Session Opens
Auspiciously.
Special to the News and Observer.
Morehkad Citv, N. C., June 25.
The second week of the North Carolina
Teachers’ Assembly opens more auspic
iously than was expected, many promi
nent educators having arrived by to
night's train to take part in the week’s
programme.
The exercises this morning consisted
of practical talks on the current needs of
public education by Dr. Chas. I). Mc-
Iver, President of the State Normal and
Industrial School at Greensboro, and
Hon. John C. Scarborough, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction. Both
of these learned gentlemen and apostles
of public education were listened to with
great interest by a large audience.
This evening the inimitable Polk Mil
ler, of negro dialect renown, entertained
a large and cultured audience, as only
Polk Miller can, in his own peculiar,
matchless and indescribable style. He
has the negro dialect down “pat,”
and tells incidents from real life among
the Southern darkeys with a humor,
pathos and reality that stamp him a
genius. His banjo, too, in the manipu
lation of which he excels, makes a happy
compliment to his lectures. One of the
most pleasant and generally eDjoyed in
cidents of the season at the “Atlantic”
was a regular old fashioned “Virginia
Reel” in the ball room this morning,
gotten up on the spur of the moment,
and the music for which was rendered
by Polk on his banjo.
The first regulation german of the
season came off last night and
when the thrilling music of the
superb band “arose with its voluptuous
swell” and the brilliant courterie of “fair
women and brave men” peopled the
spacious floor, adorning it with the grace
of form and the poetry of motion the
scene was truly entrancing.
The following couples took part in the
german, which was gracefully led by
Milan R. noward, of Newbern, with
Mrs I). H. Matron, of Roanoke, Va. ;
Miss Mamie Meyers, of Washington, N.
0., with J. K. Morrisey, of Winston;
Miss Marie Broadfoot, of Fayetteville,
