DELEGATES 10 CHICAGO INSTRUCTED Senator Brice and His Fight for Sound Money. WHAT THE INDICATIONS ARE =e Special Corresporderce of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 22, 1896. Judged by the enthusiastic and success- ful work of the Ohio free silver democrats in the opening of the campaign for the se- lection of delegates to the Chicago conven- tion and to the state convention, the state will declare for free silver in the demo- cratic state convention, which will be held here on June 23, and will send a free silver delegation to the national democratic con- vention. So far in but-six counties have the democrats held their conventions, and all of them have declared for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. They are the counties of Darke, Shelby, Allen, Clarke, Licking and Fairfield. It is but fair to say that Licking and Darke counties have been flirting with free sfiver for some time, though this is the first time they have taken a decided position in favor of the white metal. It is surprising, however, that Allen county—the home of Senator Brice, who s been waging a hard fight against free silver for two y 2 s been completely unde friend: should take a stand almost unanimo: in favor of free coinage at this time. whole course and trend of e democratic party in Ohio pls has a great deal of the free silver senti- ment in it. But the most significant event so far is the action of the democrats of the seventh congressional district, in convention London this week, in adopting a resolution without a dissenting vote instructing their delegates to the national convention at Chicago to vote for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without regard to the position in the matter of any other nation of the world. Followirg this the convention chose two delegates and two alternates to represent the rict in t tional conven who are so pronounced in favor of free silver that a resolutis ior in that direction is qu’ The tion, and the absolute unanimity of it, set the free silver leacers of almost wild with delight, ar epenly announce their intent the state delegation to the national con- vention, and make it speak in that conven- tion for free coina The result of the seventh district conyen- tion was dve largely to the efforts of John H. Thomas and John W. Bookwalter, two Ithy democratic ma cturers of Springfield, which is included in the dis trict. Thomas the opponent of Mr Brice for the nomination for U. 8. Senator five years ago, and has also been a candi- date for the nominaticn for governor. Bookwalter was the can crats for governor in feated by They have both bec as the result, what are called in the political parlance of this sts e “off color” members of the party. single gold standard democrats say that they desire to get back into the party in good standing and want to raise a new issue to use {t as a plank for this pur- pose. However this may be, they are both showing all the zeal of new converts in the ator Brice has not opened headquar- here yet, nor are indications of hie in the interest of the single gold standard apparent. His private secretary hes caused the publication of a ietter ud- ressed to the party leaders in the news- papers of the state announcing that he proposes to take an active part in the work of his party, just as in former years. This was to counteract the effects of a report that was spread through the state some weeks ago, that he expected to retire from politics as the result of his retirement from the Senate. In that letier it was stated that the Senator proposed to devote his efforts to the unification of his party. It was gener- ally accepted by the free silver men as meaning that he proposed to make the party agree to nis view of the coinage question, and in that way unify it. is brought out a tart letter from Allen W. Thurman, the leading free silver demo- crat of the state, who was just then be- ginning to feel sure of his ability to carry the state this year for free silver. In that open letter Thurman virtually challenged Senator Brice to a fair fight over the coin- age question, and plainly stated to him that in Fis opinion he had never yet given a fair fight on the proposition. Thurman thinks that having no further command of the federal patronage, Senator Brice will prove an easy foe. It’ is evident, however, that the Senator's friends are standing by him, and if he goes into the fight again, he may still be able to make it interesting. It should be remembered that Brice will receive strong support from people who are not friendly to him personally. For in- stance, ex-Congressman Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland announces that he will op- pose with all his energy the plan of Editor L. E. Holden of the Cleveland Plain Dealer to make Cuyahoga county speak for free allver. John H. Clarke of Youngstown, the man who made such a bitter speech against Brice in the state convention two years ago, is a strong advocate of the gold stand- ard, and will, in the event of such a fight in the party, be found fighting side by side with Senator Brice. At the convention in the seventh district this wv the free silver advocates gave out that the delegates-at-large from Ohio to the Chicago convention would be, if they controlled the state convention field, Judge - Thurman r of this city. It is hat two would be taken from 5 . B. Finley or A. J. probably be substituted for - A. Taylor, if the program of the free silver men is carried out. Be MOUNT VERNON e PARK. A New Summer Resort to Be Opened Shortly. The gratifying announcement is made that a new summer resort is shortly to be opened at one of the most delightful points on the Potomac, adjoining the historic and beautiful Mount Vernen estate. Mr. W. F. Thomas of this city, who is associated with a number of substantial business men, will be the manager of the new enterprise, which will be known as Mount Vernon Park. Situated but twelve miles from Washington, and on the direct line of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Ver- non railroad, over which trains will run from this city every fifteen minutes, the adv es and convenience of Mount Ver- non Park will be readily recognized. A large hotel has been built within the park, including a handsome dining room, and a dancing pavilion of 68,000 square feet has also been erected. Music will be discoursed @ally by band and orchestra, and an elec- tric orchestrian, and there will be shutflle boards, bowling alleys, shooting galleries, billiard rooms, lawn tennis, croquet and quoit courts and well-equipped boat houses. Under Mr. Thomas’ management Mount Vernon Park will be conducted in a first- class manner, and the aim will be to make it a popular place with the refined classes of Washington people. There wili be, it is understood, a summer theater erected at once for the production of light opera. The resort will open in a few days, and will doubtless become at cnce popular. a The Legislative Bill. The conferees on the legislative bill have fettled the only remaining items on which the two houses differed. The Senate aban- doned the amendment to create the office of register of copyrights to control all copyright business. The House provisions to terminate the tenure of United States commissioners on the Ist of July next was changed, the date being advanced to June 30, 1897, and the appointment of com- missioners given to United States district instead of circuit judges. The time for meeting of the New Mexico territorial leg- islajure was fixed for the third Monday in Januaxm, LABOR VS. BRAINS. John Chinaman’s Laundry Methods Compared With Those of the Modern Up-to-Date Ameri- can Laundry. A Look Inside and Short Taik With Frank H. Walker of the Yale Steam Laundry. ‘The modern, up-to-date laundry, with its throb- bing machinery and expensive appliances, presents an interesting comparison with the laundry methods of “John Chinaman.” It was to get some idea of the way in which both classes of establishments are conducted that I started out the day, and an investigation revealed many in g things. First a visit was paid the wily celestial, where I had a short talk—sborter, perhays, than I may have desired, by reason of John’s difheulty in un- derstanding my Chinese, or my lack of Chinese, Entering the place, I noticed a strong odor of cooking unlike anything I have ever smelled be- fore.
