A pleasant event last night was the re- ception and musicale held at the First Con- sregational Church, under the auspices of the Business Men's Bible Class, an organi- zation connected with the Sunday school of the church and numbering about fifty men prominent tn business and professional life in this city. Justice Brewer, the teacher oft the class, presided, and Rev. Dr. New- man, pastor of the church, and Prof. Hazen made brief addresses, as did also Rev. M. Ross Fishburn, formerly co-pastor of the church. Mr. B. H. Warner had a few words to say to an interested audience, and Prof. Isaac Clark of Howard University, one of the members of the class, spoke of the ad- vantages of Bible study. The daughter of Representative Hilborn of California played several Hawaiian airs on native instru- ments; Mr. Alonzo ‘Tweedale recited one of Riley's poems; Douglass Miller, Prof. Hos- mer, Miss McNally and Miss Wahly con- tributed vocal solos; Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., gave a cornet solo, and a trio, consist- ing of J.

Millions of people pray for deliverance from it. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church in the world, these words are said : From battle, and murder and sudden death, Good Lord, deliver us. Just why sudden death should be shock- ing, and death after lingering disease easy to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It would seem that it would be more terrible to see some loved one wasting away, daily becoming weaker—daily slipping toward a death no less certain because it was slow in coming. Consumption causes more deaths than heart disease—more than cholera— more than yellow fever—more than any other disease the world has ever known. And yet people are careless about it. A man in danger of sudden death from heart dis- ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping quiet and avoiding excitement. Consump- tion goes right on with its deadly work, no matter what the man does or how he con- ducts himself, if he doesn’t take the right medicine to cure it. Consumption affects the whole body. It isa blood disease. It permeates the whole system. It shows in the lungs because the blood goes to the lungs for purification. It carries impurities | there to be made pure. If there is too much impurity, the lungs are over-worked—over- loaded—the impurity stops there. The germs of disease stop there. They develop and multiply and then consumption takes definite form.

POLITICAL GATHERINGS At the conclusion of Chairman Berry's speech in the Illinois republican convention yesterday afternoon, nominations for gov- ernor were declared in order. Ex-Senator Hagle placed John R. Tanner in nomination. M. B. Madden of Chicago seconded Tanner's nomination. A. J. Hopkins of Aurora was placed in nomination by F. G. Hanchett. The nomi- nation of Mr. Hopkins was seconded by John Daly of Peoria, Dr. Joseph Robbins of Quincy was nomi- nated by Gen. E. B, Hamilton of that place. A seconding speech was made by Lawrence Y. Sherman of Macomb. The roll of counties was then called. As it proceeded it became evident that Mr. Tan- ner had not overestimated his following. When the last county was called, and be- fore the secretary had an opportunity to an- John R. Tanner. nounce the result, Gen. Hamilton moved to make the nomination unanimous. This was quickly followed by seconds from Col. Eryan, John Daly and a delegate from Kane y, and the motion was carried amtd en- istic cheering. The footing of the roll showed that Tanner received 1,083 votes, ins 183, and Robbins 6), r. Tanner was escorted to the stand by Hopkins and Mr. Robbins, and was given ar ovation by the convention. As he stepped upon the stage an elegant bouquet of roses was presented to him. After the cheering had subsided Mr. Tanner made a brief speech of acceptance. Mr. Hopkins was then Introduced, briefly addressed the convention. Nominations for Heutenant governor be- ing deciared in grder, Cicero J. Lindley pre- sented the name of W. A. Northcott of Greenville; A. G. Crawford of Pike county nominated Theodore S. Chapman of Jer: county, and Congressman Reeve of Lasa mentioned David Ross of that place. The first ballot resulted: Northcott, 5; Chap- man, 413; Ross, $23, There belng no cho! nd ballot was ordered, and resulted as Northcott, 717; Chapman, 387; Ros: and Mr. Northcott, having received a majority of all the votes cast, was declared the nomi- for lieutenant governor. ‘The announce- ment was recetved with prolonged cheering. On motion of Congressman Reeve, sec- onded by Mr. Hanchett, the nomination of Mr. Northcott was declared unanimous. A motion was then made to adjourn until 10 o'clock today. This was greeted with cries of “No! No!” from all parts of the room, and the motion was voted down. Nominations for secretary of state were then declared in order. There were a few moments of confusion, and then there was a motion to adjourn until 9 o'clock this morn- ing. This was hurriedly put, and at 5:45 the convention was declared adjourned. SILVER MEN BEATEN, Result of the Balloting in troit Convention. It was 4:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon before the committees were ready to report to the Michigan democratic convention at Detroit, and the convention resumed busi- nesa. The chief contentions had been in the committee on resolutions, which stood seven for sound money to five for free sil- ver. The committee on permanent organiza- tion nominated James S. Gorman of Chel- sea for permanent chairman, and recom- mended an order of business in which the selection of deiegates and the adoption of a platform were placed last on the pro- gram. Delegate Barkworth, free silver leader, of Jackson, moved to amend by placing the adoption of resolutions and selection of delegates-at-large first in order. State Chairman Stevenson moved to table Bark- worth’s amendment. This brought on a test vote. The result was that the amend- ment was tabled by a vote of 424 to 366, and the committee's report was adopted. The choice of the district caucuses for delegates to the national convention was then confirmed, and the convention pro- ceeded with nominations of delegates-at- large by roll call of the districts. Elifott G. Stevenson, sound money candi- date for first delegate-at-large, was elected cver John W. McGrath, silverite, ex-justice of the supreme court, by a vote of to 810, the votes being taken by roll call of counties. Thomas ©. Weadock and Spencer 0. Fisher, ex-Congressman and silyer man, both of Bay City, were the candidates for second delegate-at-large. Fisher was de- feated by fifty-eight votes. He endeavored to move for unanimous indorsement of the De- Gladness Comes Witha better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with milKonsof families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beric- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cele, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is re; , laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most jargely used and gives most general satisfacti Weadock, in the interest of harmony, but his allies would not permit this. Robert It. Blacker of Manistee was the gold men's candiddte for third delegate-at- large, with William F, McKnight as his opgonent. Before jthe roil call was com- pleted Blacker was chosen by viva _voce vote under suspension of the rules. Peter White of Marquette, the administration candidate, was chésen fourth delegate, no one else being nominated. Following are the, alternates: W. E. Dar- ragh, Big Rapids3:James O'Hara, St. Jo- seph; C. R. Woodim, Battle Creek; Robert Lake, Jackson. ‘+ The #intform. Two reports werd, offered from the reso- lutions committee..The majority platform, which was adopted, commends President Cleveland's administration, especially as to its foreign policy, and urges ald to the Cu- ban patriots. The money plank is as fol- lows: ‘ “On the Srrance ‘question we recognize that this administration stands upon and has consistently carried out the national democratic platform of ‘92, on which it was elected by the veople, which decided that the parity of the metals in our currency skall be maintained. “The platform of the national convention, which has carried the country overwhelm- ingly for our party, should be the doctrine of the democrats until a new platform is fcrmed by another national To the national convention to be held July 7 we remit this subject, with confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of that body.” An additional resolution condemns the A. P. A. and similar societies, ‘Tho minority report was tabled. It pre- sented a single resolution which did not mention the administration, declared that business failures and distress were due to bad legislation, and demanded remonetiza- tion and free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, without awaiting action by any other na- tion. Ats :15 the delegates adjourned sine die. NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS. The Administration's Supporters De- nounce the Other Wing of the Part The Nebraska convention of administra- tion democrats was held at Lincoln yester- day afternoon. Euclid Martin, chairman of the state committee, called the conven- tion to order. Of the representation to which the convention was entitled—G23— fully 600 were in their seats when Chairman Martin rapped to order. W. D. McHugh of Douglas county was made temporary chairman. Mr. McHugh said the assemblage before him represented the democratic party of the state, and others were simply a lot of populists masquerading us democrats. The temporary organization was made permanent, and these delegates were named by acclamation: At large, ‘Tobia: Castor, William A, Pax- ton, Daniel W. Cook, Charles G. Ryan; first district, N.S. Harwood and D. P. Rolf? sec- ond district, T. J. Mahoney and Euclid Mar- tin; third district, Fred Vaughn and Frank A. Dearbom, fourth district, O. H. Scott and R. E. Humphrey; fifth distr George P. Kinsley and N. G. Keeler; sixth district, J. 1. Lease and J. J. McIntosh. The resolutions indirectly denounce the A. P. A. One favors President Cleveland's stand on the Monroe doctrine. Free coin- age is denounced, and the free silver demo- crats of the state termed “populists.” FOR McKINLEY.

RR. at-large, r arms egaies wanted the delegat d and waved the wildly as they pushed toward the speak- er’s stand. As soon as the uproar began Col. Buck yielded the z vel to Mr. Walter Johnson and retired. The colored delegates swarm- ed about Mr. Johnson, and they shook their fists in his face. Mr. R. R. Wright yelled for the roll to be called. The police were calle? forward and clear- ed the speake-’s stand. The tumult con- tinued, ard as soon as the blue coats di appeared the mob surge? again about the chair, and Wright aysin mounted the stand, Chairman Johnson caught him by the leg and tried to put him down. He was about to fall and threw his hand back to steady himself. It caught in the chair- ma's collar. Ten or more hands shot out from in fron: of the stand and pulled Wright to his feet, and he resumed his speech while the chairman tried to free himself. The stand was partially cleared again and the chair received a motion to elect the four delegates named, put the motion and declared it carried. He then left the stand. Suddenly a portly man ferced an open- ing between the delegates, snatched the gavel and in the midst of the din nomi- nated Rev. K. Love for chairman of a hew convention. Love was declared elec ed and delivered a speech, heard only by those within six fcet of him. It was decided to call the roll for the Purpose of electing Wright in place of John- son. A list of counties was obtained, and & man started with it to the standard, wh he was attacked by one of Pledger's follo ers, and after a spirited fight the roll was stuffed into the pocketyof Pledger’s man, and ne disappeared into the crowd. No other Ist of the counties could be found, so a committee was appointed, one from each congressional district, to nominate four delegates from the state at large. An- other committee was appointed to report a platform, and then the delegates lapsed into quiet to wait for the report of the committees, The committee on selecting delegates fol- lowed the lead of the convention and split. On returning this committee presented two sets of delegates, one made up of A. EB. Buck, R. Ro Wright, J. J. Prather and J. H. Devereux. ‘Theibther was made up of Josiah Gordon and J. E. Herrington.

TELLER'’S THREAT Will Leave the Republican Party if It Adopts the Gold Standard. Quite a Lively Debate on the Fin cial Question in the Senate Yesterday Afternoon. Although the naval appropriation bill was nominally before the Senate yesterday af- ternoon, there was scarcely a word spoken in the long debate that followed the adop- tion of the Marquette statue resolution that related to the increase of the navy. The only exception to this was the speech of Senator Proctor on coast defenses, which was delivered by Mr. Platt, as proxy, for the Vermont Senator. This speech was worked into tae Record at the last mo- ment, just before adjournment, with a brief introauction by Mr. Platt. Mr. Teller'’s eech, Senator Teller took the floor at about 15 o'clock to speak in reply to Mr. Sher- man's remarks of the day before, and for over an hour he occupied the attention of the Senate with one cf the most important speecnes of the session, in which he de- clared that if the republican party should adopt the gold standard at iis next con- vention he would cease to act with that party. He said he should despise him- self, holding the views he did, if he should litt his hand to put in power any man who from the executive chamber could use the slightest influence to continue the existing system of finance. If he should lift his voice one way and vote another the world would have a right to accuse him of hy- pocrisy and deceit, As I speak, Mr. President," he con- d, ‘so I shall vote, in the interest, 1 Velleve, of the great masses of men in this nd in the interest, as I believe, of at masses of men throughout Christendom, His spee Was almost wholly addressed to Mr. Sherman, ard was a mixture of tariff and finance. He accused Mr. Sher- man of inconsistency in the matter of the Proposed tax on tea and coffee, which Mr. Sherman declined to accept when Mr. Gor- man suggested it Tuesday. Turning to the Record of the 25th of February, when Mr. Sherman spoke on the necessity for more reveaue, he quoted from the speech of the Senator from Ohto to show that at that time he declared that he would vote for any tax, whether proposed by a demo- erat, populist or republican, which would supply sufficient revenue for the suppurt of the government, and he would vote for a tax on tea or coffee in order to meet e existing deficien ecpane The McKinley Boom, Mr. Teller paid his respects to the Me- Kinley boom by saying: “I know that there Is traversing the country and shout- ing 9 band of men who have labeled thelr candidate ‘the advance agent of prosper- \ty." The people who look to him as the savior will find that they have been de- juded and deceived. The agent of prosper- ity Is not in sight, and he will not come into sight until this system of finance of ours is changed.” Alluding to the effort of Mr. Morrill to read him and some of his ses out of the republican party for refusing to vote to take up the tariff bill, Mr. Teller said: “I am a republican in the truest and best sense. I am a republican Who believes in the old tence the old faiths. I helped to create the repul party. I was in it before the Senator from did not go into It did, out of a dying lett s Vermont, ana I he ying p: 1 democratic ublican party, y to the Senator that I came into that party voluntarily; he must allow me to go out of it in the way Lcame in, He cannot fix my line of condfict any mor than a demo > or republican convention can command my conscience and my judg- ment.” nd dec: the strong, Mr. Sherman's Reply. Mr. Sherman took the floor at the con- lusiort of Mr. Teller's speech and answer- d various points of his criticisms, at times going into the technical details of a debate on tariff and finance. He defended himseif from the charge of inconsistency in the matter of the tea and coffee tax by saying that he did not propose to allow the er side of the chamber to de Nate what the duties should be to meet the growing deficiency. While he would vote very cheerfully to put a tax on tea, coffee nd sugar, yet he would not make th whole burden of increased taxation tall up: ou the people who drink tea and coffee. nan interrupted Mr. Sherman to him out further on this point, and debate became more general. Mr. Tel- ler replied at some length to herman, and finally Mr, Hale took the floor to cail attention to the fact that there was a tra- cition, ibly memory, that the naval ap- propriation bill was before the Senate, and he hoped something would be said apropo: asure. Mills wanted to make ial question, but as ly to KO On, it being then o moved un adjournment, He yielded, however, to give way to the ever leady Mr, Stewart, who spoke for some time of the “crime of and gave notice any one of the goid standard th that in S advocates should attempt to justify criminal method, as he called it, by which silver was demonetized, or to argue that the gold standard is beneticial to the com- n.unity, he would answer his arguments at length, Mr. Stewart's Menace. He ciosed with this mena “All that is required to induce me to make a full and complete speech on the sil- ver question, though it may take weeks, is an inauguration of debate by some gold standard man in the Senate.” Necessarily this shut off any further comments on the financial problem, and the Senate adjourned at very nearly 6 ‘o'clock.
