Three Parties in lowa Put the Same Tickets in the Field. Des Moines, Ia, June 24.—The democratic state convention adjourn- edearly yesterday evening, having completed ite work. The two allied conventions, the silver republican and the populist conventions, com pleted their work slightly in advance, The three allies were, after much controversy, able to agree on one platform,with free silver as the main jdea, and one ticket, composed of two democrats, two silver republi eans and one populist. The ticket will ba placed on the official ballot wader the name: “Democrat When this became known there wasasplit ia the populist conven- tion, the middle-of the road faction, under the leadership of A. W. C. Weeks, walking out. The teceders numbered probably 100 of the dele gates. Gen. J. B. Weaver's faction remained with the democrats, where npon, he was bitterly denounced. Bat for this rupture, the union of all the free silver forces would bave been complete. The ticket is compored as follows: For Governor-F. E. White (dem.) of Keokuk, Ia. For Lieutenant Governor—B. A. Plummer (silver rep.) of Winnebago county. For Judge Supreme Court—L G. Kinne (dem ) of Polk county. For Railroad Commissioner—S. B. Grain (pop.) of Dallas county. For Superintendent Instruction— G. F. Rheinehart (silver rep.) of Jasper county. Mr. White, the candidate for gov- ernor, was formerly a member of Congress from the Sixth district. Mr. Plummer and Mr. Rhinehart are little known in state politics. Mr. Grain was many years ago the populist candidate for governor. Judge Kinne is chief justice of the Supreme court now. He supported Bryan last year, but under some protests. He isa prominent demo- * erat. The sentiment of the convention \was almost overwhelmingly for Bry- van. Every referance to his name was greeted with lusty cheering. In point of numbers it was one of the largest democratic conventions ever held in this city aod in point of en- thusiasm it will compare favorably with any of them. The platform, in part, is as followe: The democracy of Iowa, in con- tention assembled, sends greetings fo the nearly 7,000,000 patriots who participated and aided in the battle of the people in the struggle for their rights in the last campaign by giving renewed expression of devo- tion to the principles of the demco racy of the nation as set forth in the platform adopted by the demo- eratic party at Chicago in 1896. “We lay special emphasis upon that portion of the national platform of the democratic party on the finan- eial question, belieying that tha very existence of the farming, laboring and commercial interests of the country depend upon a change of our financial policy, and we enter into the first campaign after the great battle of the people against the combined corporate and money BOUND BY TIES OF SILVER!) power in which that peerless states man and patriot, W. J. Bryan was our leader, with the reasrertion that we demand the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid cr con- went of avy other nation.” TALKS TOO MUCH, Is the Charge Made Against Senator Foraker by His Colleagues. Washington, D. C., June 23.—The republicans of long service in the senate are in anything but a pleased humor with Mr. Foraker for making public the secrets cf conferences to which he has been invited.

Kansas City, Mo, June 24.—Dur- ing his visit hera Gov. Stephens had this to say on national politice: “The free silver mon are going to! start in 1ight away to organize fcr} the next campaign. Free silver clubs are to bs organized all over the} country. The whole of the United States will be organized before the next campaign just as Missouri was organized during the last campaign. There is no danger of the free silver | movement dying out. It is growing | stronger every day. Each of the/| clubs organized will contribute a small amount each month to aid the cause, and by the time of the next | campaign we will ‘have over $1,000,- | 000. We wil win next tims. There | is no doubt about that.” | BRYAN IN 1900. Speaking of Wm. J. Bryan, the! Governor said: “The next nominee | of the democratic party will be Wm. | J. Bryan—by acclamation. No one else will ever be mentioned. Bryan is growing stronger with the people every day. There was a time when I feared he weuld wear himself out— that he would talk himself out—but he will not. He wears better than any man who is before the people. | He can go right on making speeches | and growing sironger all the time, but he is the only man im the United | States who can do this.” New York, June 24—In the Her- ald this morning Murat Halstead | | predicts that peace for Cuba is near | BUTLER MAD. Writes in Vitriol of Middle-of-the-Roaders— Says They Are Simply Trying to Cover Their Tracks for Having Helped Mc- Kinley. Raleigb, N. C., June 24.—Senator Marion Butler, in a signed editorial in his paper, makes a revere attack on the opposition to himj and the Populist National Committee. He says: “Newspapers, claiming to be popu list, are pursuing a policy which all true populists have denounced vig- orously and justly. We refer to thos? which have announced that the national people's party commit tee has formed a conspiracy to sell out the party to the democrats. They know their statements are basely false, but they have a base motive. “If there isa single populist in the United States in favor of dis- banding the people's party or merg- ing it into the democratic party, we do not know him. It is the class of so-called populists who wanted to see McKinley elected, for reasons best known to themselves, who are now trying to cover their tracks and calling attention from their owa questionable conduct by lying and denouncing the national committee.”’ Retaliation. New York, June 24.—The Sun’s Havens dispatch eaye: The Cuban Genersl, Chueco Mon teagudo, has bezun to take retalia | tory measures against the Spaniards for outrages committed in Santa Clara Provincs, Monteagudo pre iat hand. The Rothschilds, who have | pared an ambush for Spsniards near provided most of the sizews of war|Palo Prieto and the enemy fell freely discussed in Senatorial cloak | rooms, and it is no secret that the} two have themselves talked freely of the matter to their close friends. They have been considering the step for some time. Perhaps both of them may vote for the tariff bill, but neither will act further with the party on the currency issue. Senator Carter remained with the gold standard wing of the party after the St. Louis convention, although his constituenis were clamorcus for silver. He wants to get in touch with them again. As fcr Senator Shoup, he knows that he must aben don the gold standard if he is to be re elected to the Senate. The people of Idaho are after him and ex Seta- tor Dubois is almost certain to suc- ceed him unlees Shoup “sees the light.” GORDON AGAIN. Johuny Rebs Will Not Allow Him to Retire. Nashville, Tenn., June 23 —Gen. John B. Gordon was. to day unani- mously reelected Commander-in- Chief of the United Confederate Veterans. It had been Gen. Gordon’s full in- tention and expressed wish to retire from the position, but the affection of the veterans for him precluded this course. Ia his speech he said in part: “Failing after the most desperate defensive struggle in human annals to establish their cherished Confed- eracy, these high souled sons of the South offer this record of devotion as the noblest pledge of their fealty to freedom and of their readiness to defend the republic of their fathers ” Big Demand For Small Notes. Washington. D. C., June 23 —The Treasury Depsriment within the last week has recaived a considera- ble number of requests for small notes in unusually large quantities. This inquiry was entirely unexpected and is confidently regarded by the treasury cfiic‘als as an indication of improving business conditions. At least once a year the treasury meets demands for small notes from the West and South, where they are needed for the movement of the crops. Rarely, however, has the in inquiry begun earlier than the 10th or the middle of July, and therefore it is assumed that the call for notes of small denomisations is not in an- ticipation of the crop movement. It has become so general, howeyer,par- ticularly in the South, that treasury officials ascribe it to renewed activity in general business Congressman Cooke Dead. Washington, D. C., June 24 — Congressman Edward D. Cooke of the Sixth District of Ilinois died at the Cochran Hotel this morning. Mr Cooke died of heart failure. Up to the Lour of retiring last night Mr. Cooke was in apparently gcod health. Owing to the heat he ir- dulged in several glasses of ginger ale during the evening and ‘these occasioned a vomitiog o'clock. He then went to sleep, but later called for water.

Senator Mason gave utterance to this emphatic dec laration at his howe last night “On what ground do I base the assertion? Why, every province on‘ the island, exeept Havana, is free | now, and Havana will be free ina jfew daye. Then, President McKin | ley must act People in this coun-| try are getting awtul tired of wait-/ ing.

He said it was all the fault of Mark Hanna’s | | manipulation, and exclaimed: : “They are the biggest lot of mor- al cowards that ever lived. The | president asked for $50,000 to feed | 800 Americans in Cuba, who are {huddled together and starving to} death.

C., June 23.—Ris- ing toa question of personal priv. ilege, Mr. Allen of Nebraska com- mented on the letter of Mr. Bateman of Maine in connection with the gift of $1,500 by William J. Bryan to the Populist National Committee, in which Mr. Bateman spoke of it asa case of direct bribery. WANTS NOTORIETY. He declared several of Mr. Bate- man’s statements to be false, and used these words in speaking of him: “Impulsive toa high degree; irrational, excitable and ioconsider- able, he crazily seeks notoriety.” Mr. Butler of North Carolina said | that the offer had been made to him and he felt impelled to refuse it. The offer had been made without any conditions, either express3d or implied, and he should have felt free to accept it were it not that his do- ing so- might have been misunder- stood and misrepresented. Crops Suffering Around Newton, Kan. Newton, Kan., June 24.—The heat has been so intense iu this neighbor- hood this week, especially the past two days, as to be almost unendura- ble. The crops are beginning to suffer somewhat, and unless there be rain, it will be rather hard on corn. To day there has been an in- tensely bot wind from the south, a reminder of the old days of drought and hot winds which seems to sear everything it touches. The heat has caused many harvest- ere to suspend work until! there shall beachange. Yesterday the ther-| mometer stocd at 101, the day be- fore at 103 and this afternoon it wes | 104. There seldom comes such hot weather here, and it causes conster- nation. India’s People May Revolt. Bombay, June 24 —Successive shootings of the British plague com- missionsrs and other civil and mili- tary officera by natives sre regarded by authorities here with gravest ap prehension, as unmistakable signs of impending revolt. The outrages are due to discon-| tent of the Bramins, who have circu- lated thousands of leaflets denounc- ing the Queen’s jubille. All the! circulars declare that only demons would celebrate their conquests in jtime of famine, plagues and earth-| quakes. i | Washington, D.
