Morgan Wants Gold.
New York, June 11. Pierpont
Morgan said this morning that the
Europeans are waiting for the St.
Louis platform before deciding to in
vest in American Securities. Asked
what he considered the proper plat
form, he replied: "Out and out for
gold-no compromise, no straddle."
ALL ONE WAY L ST- LOUIS-
NOBODY BUT MrKINLET MEN IN THE
lOWN.
The Nomination Will goto Him on First
Ballot H. Clay Evans as a Candidate A
St' addle Probable on the Financial Ques
tion. St. Louis, June 9. The city is
filled with McKinley enthusiasts,
while not one of his opponents has
yet appeared. The result is that all
the political talk that is to be heard
is of the same kind: That McKin
ley is to be nominated on the first
ballot.
According to the McKinley enthu
siasts nothing is left for McKinley
to do but choose the vice president
and construct the platform. A
movement is afoot to make H. Clay
Evans a candidate, put the tariff
foremost and straddle the finance.
THE Cf CLONE STRUCK GEORGIA.
Swept Everything for Sliver Atlanta, Sec
retary Smith's Home, Follows the Rest
of the State Georgia no Longer a JJoubt
fulStatr. Sunday's Atlanta Constitute n
says: The silver cvclone which had
been prancing all over the country
for the past few weeks, pounced on
Georgia yesterday and swept the
State "from Tunnel Hill to Tybee
light." No such a victory was ever
recorded in Georgia, and its only
parallel is to be found in the similar
victories in Tennessee, Virginia,
Kentucky, Illinois and other States
which have been swept clean by the
silver broom.
It was a storm among the pines, a
cyclone in the cotton belt and a si
moon in the mountains. It encom
passed the first district; it carried
Decatur county, the home of Con
gressman Russell, in the second dis
trict; it shook several of the gold
standard counties of Congressman
Turner's district from their moor
ings; it annihilated Congressmen
Lawcon in the eigthth, and it made
playthings of the opposition in the
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh and ninth districts; it set
tled the question of the United
States senatorship, and cleared the
atmosphere for senatorial success so
perfectly that in looking
over the debris, no name is left but
that of Crisp.
It was the culmination of one of
the most remarkable contests ever
fought in Georgia, and the lesson of
it all is that the people are in the
saddle.
Howt the cyclone played havoc
with the homes of our local office
holders yesterday. For a second
time Whitefield county, the home of
Collector Trammel 1, slapped the ad
ministration in the lae; and Don
glas did not vote according to the
ideas that were expected of a dis
trict attorney. Dade county, which
had been remembered in the distrf
bution of pie, get on the silver side
of the fence. Washington county
broke loose, and even Brooks, long
suffering Brooks, was only held in
p!.ice in the gold ranks because it
was excused from the duty of in
dorsing the administration. It went
through reluctantly for Mr. Tur
ner, but not a drop would it
diink to the honor of the gold stan
dard. There was even a touch of senti
ment in the returns as they passed
from the keys to the printer. Tal
iaferro county, sacred to the memory
of Georgia's great commoner, Alex
ander H. Stephens, pledged her votes
to free coinage. AVilkes county, re
calling the lordly Toombs, empha
sized the grand old man's defense of
silver in 1878 by declaring for sil
ver, for Crisp and for the people'
cause. And even the natal county
of the lamented Benjamin H. Hill
old Jasper will answer to the
free coinage roll call in the Macon
convention. Thus it is that the
Georgians of today keep in touch
with their grandfathers:
Took Them From Jail and Burned Them.
Bryan, Texas June 11. A mob
of three hundred took from the jail
last night, Louis Whitehead and
George I. Johnson, who assaulted Dr.
Wilson's daughter, Saturday and Jim
Reddick, who assaulted an Italian
woman. The v were taken to a place
three miles from the city, where
three great fires disposed of the cul
prits.
The Hammond Incident Closed.
Washington, June 11. The
United States vice consul at Cape
town, South Africa, reported by ca
ble today to the State Department,
that the imprisoned reform leaders
have been released. This finally
closes the Hammond incident.

St. Lonls.
St. Louis, June 11. The silver
men are not united and are mistrust
ful of themselves. If there is a bolt
it will be insignificant. This great
ly strengthens the position of the
gold men, who are more- outspoken
in their demands. The financial
plank however, will be. carefully
worded in favor of gold, without
further reference to the subject than.
is absolutely necessary.
The National committee began to
day by considering the cases of the
California contestants. Hauna is
much' talked of;f or, chairmau of the
national committee, but said he was
not anxious to take it after t) pres
ent preliminary canvass. Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, reitera es to
day that his name will not be
brought before the convention for
Vice-President.
Senator Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, says: "The convention
should at least pledge the Republi
can party to labor faithfully in be
half of an international conference
on the money question, with a view
to securing an agreement in behalf
of the permanent and settled equal
ity of siver and gold."
The contesting McKinley delegates
from California and Kentucky were
seated.
THE GREAT SILER WAVE.
ound Money Begging in Florida- All One
Way in Indiana North Dakota for Silver.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 3.
The administration democrats have
about given up the fight. T he result
in Kentucky, following on the heels
of the action of the drimarir-s in Il
linois, has proved the last straw.
The back of the golden calf has b.en
broken and it now looks as if. In
diana's delegation to Chicago will be
a solid silver one.
The silver men have always esti
mated a half-and-half result in thia
state, but all indications are tLat the
state convention will be overwhelm
ingly for silver.
Fifty-six counties have elected de
legates to the state con ven lion. Of
these fifty-four, that is alt except
two, have instructed their delegates
for silver. They have sent strong
silver men to the convention and
adopted ringing silver resolutions.
It is Lelieved now that there will
nor be 100 gold standard advocates
in the state convention. $
Jacksonville, Fla., June 3. .
Jefferson, the home county of Sena
tor Pasco, selected delegates to the
democratic state convention today
and pledged them to free silver.
Each of the twenty-four delegates
was made to come forward and pro
mise to support only 16 to 1 men for
delegates to Chicago. No man was
chosen who said that while he op
posed free silver he would obey in
structions. . Only avowed free coin
age men were selected. Senator
Pasco heads the delegation.
So far about thirty of the forty
five counties in Florida have acted.
Of these twenty-five have instiucted
for silver while seven have taken no
action. Not a county has instructed
for "sound money "
Jamestown, N. D., June 4. The
Democratic State convention met
here at noon to-day, John Burke, of
Rolette was chosen temporary chair
man and afterward made permanent
chairman of the convention. The
chair appointed a committee of seven
on resolutions. The committee re
ported, a platform favoring free coin
age of both gold and silver, which,
was adopted. The following dele
gates to the Chicago convention were
elected: Senator Rich Williams,
Grand Forks, J. H. Hi '. K of Burleigh;
R. Hartman, of Cass, Fasten, of
Ramsey, Wilson, of Pom Bina. On
motion the delegates were instructed
to vote for free coinage of both gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and
to vote for a candidate for President
who would stand on that platform.
There were about one hundred and
twenty-five delegates present Th5
convention adjourned at 6 o'clock
this evening. .
Thirteen Indictments.
Camden, N. J., June 11. The
grand jury today returned ittlZ
indictments against ex city treasurer

malfeasance in office.
