Special Correspondence of The Evening FAIRFAX COURT HOUS May 18, The largest and stormiest political c vention Fairfax county ever saw occurred here today. It was the county democratic mass meeting to elect delegates to the con- gressional convention at Alexandria and the state convention at Staunton. Scarcely had the meeting been called to order by the county chairman, James M. Love, when the battle began between the gold and the sil- ver men. Mr. Love is a gold man, and when he had called the meeting to order he appointed J. H. Hurst, also a gold man, to act as chairman. This was objected to by the silver men, who demanded that Jas. P. Machen be the presiding ocer. The con- vention seemed equally divided in its pref- erence, and both sides were very bo! nd for some time the utmost confusion prevailed. At length R. W. Moore secured the partial attention of the meeti! and made an earnest app for harm: i Se said he was a free r democrat. After considerable talk, in which e one pres- ent indulged all’ at once, one pro- posed that Mr. Moore be made chairman. This seemed to be satisfactory to all, and he was unanimously elected. Mr. S. R. Donohoe, editor of the Fairfax Herald, was made secretary. The storm then subsided for a while, but only to break out with renewed vigor when F. W. Richardson offered a resolution that the election of delegates be proceeded with at once. A. J. Wedderburn made a speech in favor of instructiog the dele ‘3 for free silver before they are selected. J. H. Purdell then made a speech :n favor of the resoluticn, in which he handled Senator Tillman’s name in an uncomplimentary manner. He was interrupted by loud cheers for Tillman from a chorus of voices. A resolution was offered that before the dele- gates are selected a declaration be made on the subject of silver, but this was lost by a vote of 95 to 96. A motion that the con- vention proceed to instruct the dele- gates was also lost. The following dele- gates were then elected to the congressional convention: B. Simpson, Geo. Schneider, Geo. F. Harrison, J. S. Riley, R. E. Lee, G. K. Pickett, Chas. B. Cockrell, Dr. Leigh, S. A, Wrenn, A. G. Hutchinson, Alfred Leigh, sr.; R. W. Moore, F. W. Richardson, D. M. Chichester, D. B. Eglin, H. G. Smith, J. M. Love, A. G. Ballenger, R. H. Shepnerd, J. E. Triplett, G. H. Burke, J. T. Davis. To the state convention: Jas. P. Macnen, Jno. D. Debell, R. A. Ions, R. HE. Lee, George Auld, Cc. F. Campbell, Thomas ‘Terrett, Louis Jno. B. Coleman, Maj. Duffie, Jno. len, R. Donohoe, J. H. Powell, R. W. Moore, S. Smoot, W. T. Taylor, B. F. Mackall, Robt. Wiley, R. W. G rd, R. C. Triplett, H. D. Rice and M. D. Hail. A resolution was then offered instructing the delegates to the Alexandria convention to urge the nomination of Jos. 18. Wiliard for Congress. Before voting on this resolu- tion Mr, Willard was asked to state his views on the money question. He is an out- spoken sound money man. He sald that his position was well known, and that he had not refused to make {t known to all who ap- proached him on the subject, and he thought that his record for honesty and in- tegrity was suflicient to rebut the insinua- tions which had been made that he was dominated by Wall street Influence. He ex- pressed his willingness to bow in submis- sion to the decision of the Staunton and Chicago conventions, and support the nomi- nee, be he Cleveland or Tillman. The reso- lution was adopted unanimously. A resolution was offered ly Judge D. M. Chichester, instructing the delegates to the state convention to vote for free silver dele- gates to Chicago, but it was defeated by a vote of 102 to 141. Although the sound money men seemed to be in a majority, they did not sneceed in getting more than five out of the twenty- two delegates. After the convention adjourned the people were addressed by Judge Ashton of King George, Frank E. Anderson of Alexandria, McCabe of Loudoun, aspirants for the dem- ocratic nomination, and atso by A. A. Lips- combe of Alexandria. ———— Testimonial to the Morton Cadets, The testimonial reception to be tendered the Merton Cadets, the winrers of the first prize and the Galveston cup at the recent Savannah interstate drill, at Allen’s Grand Opeva House, Friday evening, promises to be a unique and a successful affair. Of course the feature of the evening will be tha appearance of the Mortons, who will endeavor to go through some of the move- ments that won fame for them in_ the Georgia city. The size of the stage will, of course, hamper the boys somewhat, but Capt. Shilling will make the best showing possible, and the exhibition in the manual will be all that can be desired. The boys will appear in two uniforms, and the stage will be darkened and calcium lights used to heighten the effect as much as pos- sible. Mr. Allen has secured as other at- tractions for the evening a high-class of vaudeville artists, a majority of whom are from New York. ee Approves the Teller Bill. The Secretary of the Interior has for- warded to Chairman Sherman of the House committee on Indian affairs a favorable re- port on the Teller bill providing for the abolition of the offices of commissioner of Indian affairs and the assistant commis- sioner and the substitution therefor of a board of three Indian commissioners. The board is to consist of two members of op- posite political faiths, and the other is to be an army officer. The only change in the bill suggested by Secretary Smith is the strik- ing out of the provision that the army of- ficer must be above the rank of major. on) ‘OR A HALL, Northeast Washington Wants Place for Pu ic Meetings, The representatives of the various or- ganizations in Northeast Washington in- terested in the move looking toward a plan for the construction of a large hall in that ction have held another meeting.

Included in this store «f gold he saw 14,871,756 roubles in value of United States half eagles. While the coinage of all the na- tions of the world was represented in this particular pile of gold, no other nation Save Russia itself came anywhere near the store contributed by the United States to the Russian coffers. Japan camo next with only 1,678,519 roubles worth of yers, While of British gold in this pile of Rus- sian money there were pounds sterling tc the small amount of less than a millic roubles. Afterward to make the impr sicn stronger, our consul general was take into the bank's vaults and permitted to look upon the balance of the bank’s funds held on that particular dey, and he saw some more United States gold, this time a_ stock of 3,983,823 United States gold half eagles, amounting In value to 25,462,045 roubles, so that the Russian bank had in its pos- session of our gold coin $%0,769,115. When he asked how that amount of United States gold came into the poss ion of the Russian bank the governor informed Mr. Karel that the Ru: minister of finance had purchased it at different times in Berlin, Paris and London. The goid was kept in small bags, and these again in Jarger ones, which were piled up in tier each bag being sealed ard ticketed with the denomination and value of the con- tents, —~e The Episcopal Convention.

The motion was adopt From the first the conference has been voting for two eandidates on each ballot; that is, each delegate had two votes on each ballet. On every ballot from one to two hundred vetes were scattered among a score or more of candidates who had no chance of election. As scon as it was decided that candidates must receive more than ten votes to be counted, the delegates saw that the time to do something had arrived. On the fourteenth ballot Dr. McCabe's vote jumped to 258 from 1%), which he had received on the ballot taken Monday night, and Dr. Cranston’s from 245 to 261. That Bishop Earl Cranston, indicated clearly who the leaders were, and on the fifteenth ballot Dr. McC: vote rese to 344, or cight more than were need- 5 while Dr. Cranston polled 228, ded. The next votes to Dr. stood, shouting efs. ” “song” and “speech” of the hall.

For many years he has been well known throughout this country and Canada as the “singing ckeplain;” it being a much approved cus- tom of his to render apprepriate vocal se- lections at most of the gatherings where ke was a feature. Local Methodists are of the opinion that there is no man in the whole church who is more highly regard- ed both for picty and for his general at- tainments than is Bishop McCabe. From his experience at Libbey he has written a lecture on “The Bright Side of Life in Libbey Prison.” ‘This is a favorite address with churches and missionary so- cieties, and with which he has made $150,- 000 for the work of building churches and equipping missionaries.
