No trouble of any character with Great Britain is expected in official circles by the launching of the cutter Gresham at Cleve- land Saturday, as related in The Star. The facts connected with the maintenance of the vessel on the lakes are not new, and have been discussed by those in authority. No protest has been made by the British government, and although the British of- ficials have kept themselves fully advised as to the character of the vessel, none is expected. The authorities here assert that the Gresham Is not in any sense a war ves- sel, for she carries no arms beyond the small machine gun equipment placed on all revenue vessels, and, in fact, is no more than a match in this respect for the two mew Canadian revenue cutters launched last year. ——-e+______ A sample price from Moses’ furniture sele: $0 mahogany tea tables, $3.98—Advt. FORMALLY NOTIFIED Generals Palmer and Buckner Told of Their Nominations. WIPING §OUT* SECTIONAL LINES Indications of the Unity of the People. ‘ oo REGULARITY OF ACTION Gens. Palmer and Buckner, nominees of the national democratic party for President and Vice President, respectively, were for- mally notified of their selection Saturday night at Louisville. Telegrams from Presi- dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle in- dorsing the. movement were read, and were greeted with cheers. The Auditorium,which seats about 4,000, was thrown wide open to the public, with the exception of several hundred seats on the stage, reserved for distinguished visitors, and part of the par- quette, in which the out-of-town delega- tions were provided for. All the seats were soon taken, and hundreds of persons pressed for more. National Committeeman Zach Phelps of Louisville called the meeting to order in a few well-chosen words, beginning with the statement that for the first time in four years the democratic party was to hold a notification meeting. The audience rose and sang “America,” after which Mr. Phelps introduced W. D. Bynum, chairman of the national committee, as the presiding officer. Telegrams from Cleveland and Car- lle. Mr. Bynum stated the purpose of the meeting, concluding with the reading of a number of telegrams, notably one from President Cleveland. This was eagerly awaited by the crowd. It had been the talk of the street and the hotels all day. Its reading created the greatest enthusiasm of the evening. It was as follows BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., Sept. 10, 1896. Hon. W. D. Bynum, Indianapolis, Ind.: I regret that I cannot accept your invita- tion to attend the notification meeting at Louisville on Saturday evening. As a dem- oecrat devoted to the principles and integ- rity of my party, I should be delighted to be present on an occasion so significant, and to mingle with those who are deter- mined that the voice of true democracy shall not be smothered, and who insist that its glorious standard shall be borne aloft, as of old, in faithful hands. GROVER CLEVELAND. Almost as much enthusiasm was aroused by the following telegram from Secretary Carlisle: WASHINGTON, D. C., September 12. To Hon. W. D. Bynum: Your telegram inviting me to attend the meeting at Louisville today has been for- warded to me at this place, and I greatly regret my inability to accept. The con- servative and patriotic declarations of the Indianapolis convention on the public ques- tions involved in the pending contest, and the high character of its nominees, cannot fail to arouse the real democratic sentl- ment of the country and command the hearty support of all who sincerely believe in the preservation of the public honor, the public peace and the stability and value of the currency used by our people. I am proud to take my stand with the old-fash- jioned democrats who have refused to aban- don their honest convictions in order to form an unnatural alliance with political and social organizations whose purposes are dangerous to the country and wholiy inconsistent with the fundamental prin- ciples of our party, and I pledge to you and your associates such support and as- sistance as I can properly give during the campaign. J. G. CARLISLE, nator Caffery then notified Gen. Palmer of his nomination for the presidency by the Indianapolis convention. The latter re- sponded as follows: jenator Palmer's Response. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: You give me official information that del- gates, representing the national democracy of forty-one states, lately assembled in convention, in the city of Indianapolis, hon- ored me by designating me the national democratic candidate for the presidency, and that the convention associated with me in the formal temporary leadership of that great historic party of the United States an eminent citizen of Kentucky—a citizen distinguished in arms, and as the patriotic chief magistrate of his and my own native commonwealth. -Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: Gen. Buckner and I were once, in a mod- est sense, representatives of opposing opin- ions upon fundamental questions relating to the powers of the United States and of the respective states under the Constitu- tion. We met on the battlefield, where great public controversies that admit of no other method of solution are determined. I know he did his duty, and I trust the country believes that I did mine. The nominations made by the national democratic convention at Indianapolis prove mcre conclusively than anything which has occurred within the last thirty years that the American people are again united; that our hopes, our rights, our du- ties and our interests are the same; that the lofty and patriotic mission of the na- tional democracy is to maintain peace and order, defend constitutional liberty, regu- lated by just and equal laws, and if possi- ble avert from the country repudiation, bankruptcy and national dishonor. I accept the unsought honor and respon- sibility Imposed upon me by the national democratic convention. I accept them as proof that my democratic fellow-citizens confide ir. my devotion to democratic prin- ciples so clearly and accurately defined in the proceedings of the convention. It was known to the delegates to the convention before this honor was conferred upon me, and is well understood by the country, that my public services commenced more than fifty years ago, and that since that time I have taken an active, earnest part in the discussion and settlement of every public question which had at the time sufficient importance to attract popular attention. My opinions and my public acts have been an open beok to be read by my contempo- raries. I have been at all times controlled by my own convictions of duty, and I have now no one whom I can properly invite to share my responsibilities. Taught by Jef- ferson, I opposed slavery when it existed. Inspired by Jackson, I defended the union of the states to the extent of my ability, and influenced by his example, when my conduct as a military officer was challeng- ed as violative of law, I voluntarily sub- mitted myself to the jurisdiction of the civil courts. ‘When governor of my adopted state,while T opposed and by peaceful means success- fully resisted the Interference of the United States by its military forces, in the purely local concerns of the state, I distinctly con- ceded the right, and asserted the duty, of that government to enforce within the states or elsewhere its own laws by its own encies. “arr. Chairman and Gentlemen: The mat- ters to which I have adverted are but reminisc2nces—they relate and belong to the past. Our duties as lovers of our coun- try are present, and we must meet and deal with existing conditions, and to these the late national democratic convention addressed itself. Its platform asserts truths which can be demonstrated, and it correctly defines democratic principles. It asserts that: ‘The democratic party 1s pledged to equal and exact justice to all men of every creed and condition; to the largest freedom of the individual, consist- ent with good government; to the preser- vation of the federal government in its constitutional vigor, and to the support of. the states, in all their just rights; to economy in the public expenditures; to the maintenance of the public faith and sound money; and it is opposed to paternalism and all class legislation.” It also asserts that: ‘The declarations of the Chicago convention attack individual freedom, the right of private contract, the independence of the judiciary, and’ the authority of the President to enforce fed- al laws. They advocate a reckless at- tempt to increase the price of silver by legislation to the debasement of our mone- tary standard, and threaten unlimited issues of paper money by the government. “They abandon for republican allies the democratic cause of tariff reform, to court the favor of protectionists to their fisca heresy.” it then asserts, with earnestness and in terms which will not satisfy those who | party. —= assert it, to be “ He avg to first vote the ticket platform;” “that vitw other grave depart principles, we canrigt sfipport the candi- dates of that convention'hor be bound by its_acts.”” : The conyention het in?Indianapolis then detlares, with force exactness, the democratic doctrined''with respect to taxa- tion, whether by , excises or by direct imposition, and astérts that none of these can be rightly imposed except for public purposes, and’ not ‘or private gain, and reaffirms the historig democratic doc- trine of a “tariff for ‘tevénue only.” It is then asserted’ by the convention in its declaration of principles that “‘The ex- perlence of mankind has shown, that, by reason of thair natural qualities, gold is the necessary money of the large affairs of commerce and business, while silver is con- veniently adapted to minor transactions, and the most beneficial use of both to- gether can be insured only by the adoption of the former as a standard of monetary measure, and the maintenance of silver at a parity with gold by its limited coinage under suitable safeguards of law. Thus the largest possible enjoyment of both metals is gained, with a value universally accepted throughout the world, which con- stitutes the only practical bimetallic cur- rency, assuring the most stable standard, and especially the best and safest money for all who earn their livelihood by labor or the produce of husbandry. They can- not suffer when paid in the best money known to man, but are the peculiar and most defenseless victims of a debased and fluctuating currency which offers continual pronts to the money changer, at their cost. “Realizing these truths, demonstrated by long public inconvenience and loss, the democratic party, in the interests of the masses and of equal justice to all, prac- tically established by the legislation of 1834 and 1853, the gold standard of mone- tary measurement, and likewise entirely divorced the government from banking and currency Issues. To this long-estaby ished democratic policy we adhere and Insist upon the maintenance of the gold standard and of the parity therewith of every dollar issued by the government, and are firmly opposed to the free and u lmited coinage of silver, and to the com- pulsory purchase of silvér bullion.” This language {s but a reiteration of thi terse demand of the democratic platform of 1 that “Every dollar, coined or is- sued by- the government, shall have equal power in the market and in the payment of debts.” The convention which assembled tn Chicago in July of the present year, in demanding the unlimited coinage of sliver dollars on the ratio of 412% grains of standard silver to 258-10 grains of stand- ard gold, with full legal tender quality for all debts and dues, public and private, offer to the country a scheme from which every voter may expect whatever advantage to the country or himself, his reason or even his imagination can suggest. The advocates of the unlimited coinage of full legal tender silver do not agree as to what will be the consequence of the adeption ty the United States of their fa- vorite measure. The more_ intelligent know that it Is impossible, by law, to give to silver bullion coin a local value in the United States, and, therefore, Mr. Bryan, who must be regarded as the official inter. preter of the free silver dogma, as: his belief that the unlimited coinag. legal tender silver by the United alone would increase the valu bullion, which is today 67 cents per ounce to $1.29, and he asserts his bellef that u der unlimited coinage the silver doll taining 412!2 graiis of standard coined by the authority of the United States, wouid be of equai acceptability and value with the dollar containing 354-10 grains of standard gold in-all the markets of the world. It is something that this opinion has no stpport in the experience of mankind. It 1s enough for present purposes to say it has no foundation other than the confident as- sertions of those who. share in that belief. No party in the country ever undertook s0 much as do the advocates of the unlim- ited coinage of silver. They not only un- dertake to maintain commercial parity in Value of about 434,502,041 silver dollars, already coined by the United States under the authority of the acts of the 28th of February, 1878, and of July 14, 1800, and of all the silver dollars that hereafter may be coined, but they assume the task of ad- vancing the value of the silver ecinage of all the nations of the world to en cqual tability and value with coin: Pxpectations of such,of the;advovates: are realized it Jr own premises to perceive what would be gained by those who expect cheap money. r claim that under free Iver would become d value, a 1 in the civilized then read the of these and ‘ifrom democratic of free coin power in the markets, of debts throughout ¢ rid, the silver dollar would thea be as difficult to procure as the dollar of gold is now. They complain now that the dollar of qold has too much purchasing power and is too difficult to optain. But the real expectation of the great body of supporters of the free coinage of silver, and one much more in harmony with the experience of mankind, is, that the unlimited coinage of silver would give to the country a depreciated and. cheaper dollar, which would enhance nominal val- ues and be used In the payment of debts, but would be attended and followed Ly the ruin of all industries, the destruction of public and private credit, and irreparable mischiefs, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: Our plat- form commits us to the maintenance of the democratic faith. Many of our as clates, deluded by deceptive sopkistrie: are supporting a coalition which disavows the traditional faith of the democratic The best we can hope for them is that they may be defeated, and when defeated they may return to the safe path that they have heretofore troviden. As the strains of “Old Kentucky Home” were dying out, Col. Fellows arose to ad- Gress the gathering, and to notify Gen. Buckner. Gen. Buckner's Address. Gen. Buckner followed Col. Fellows in a short speech of acceptance. He said: “I cannot fittingly express my acknowl- edgments to Mr. Fellows for the very graceful and eloquent terms in which you have announced to me the action of the national democracy. I know, sir, that a spirit actuated that convention at Indian- apolis, which looked more to that general principle of democracy, that spirit of 1a- tionalism, other than to merit in selecting its candidates. That feeling crystallized around me as an object to be associated with this gallant chieftain in blotting out all past differences aud sectionalism. Ap- plause.) “I accept that position, Mr. Chairman, and will discharge that duty with as much willingness as I ever discharged any on earth. I am proud to be associated with the movement which blots out all sectional lines forever and makes us one eople and one nationality. (Applause.) It is time that this ancient spirit of democracy should be revived. We have had amongst us par- ties builded up heretofore upon sectional hate, parties which have advocated special interests at the expense of all other inter- ests. We have had that great republican party ruling the destintes of this country, built up upon hatred and antagonism to rearly one-half of the countzy. “But now at the yery moment that that party has announced thaf it will cease the contention of cne sectfoy against another, that hereafter it will he‘a national party, there springs up against and among us another party profétsedl built upon sec- tlonalism, professediy and urgently insist- ing that one specialfrterest of this coun- try, that of the greedy sflver miner, shall be built up at the expertie of every other citizen in the land. (Applause.) And what is that party? 0 “It is not proper that I’should discuss the Particular platforms’éf the different parties here, but it 1s well for us'as patriots to ask the origin of this party, éalling itself fs!se- ly the democratic party,"how it was con- stituted, and what ate thé‘principles that it enunciates. They @aini?'thpt they were regular. The deleghtes to that convention were appointed, it is true, under the regu- Jar authority of democratic organizations, but the primaries and gounty and state cenventions reaffirmed the fundamental principles of the democratic party and sent their delegates to Chicago, bound in honor and by every political duty to adhere to them “Did they do it? You have been told by the gentlemen who have preceded me how they violated their instructions; how they abandoned the principles of democracy; how they betrayed their own party to the enemy, and went over to false doctrines. (Applause.) But they said that that was regular, and therefore that we, and every one who has been associated with the demo- cratic party, are bound to follow their lead because they regularly proclaimed that the principles of democracy were dead, and those of populism should hereafter be those of democracy. (Applause.) “Benedict Arnold was regular in his pro- ceeding. Applause.) He was regularly commissioned by his government; he wore its uniform; he was regularly assigned by Washington to command at West Point and the Island; he issued regularly his orders 7 of a democrat 11 through the chosen staff officers to his troops, disbursing them broadcast in order that the enemy might come in and massacre all of them. All that proceeding was regu- lar, but when he was detected; when his rank treason was discovered, Washington and his followers refused to follow such regular proceedings. (Applause.) And yet, according to the cry of our friends at Chi- cago, Washington and the patriots of the revolution were bolters. “Mr. Chairman, the democratic party cannot ever indorse the heresies of the Chi- cago platform. We proclaim now, as we proclaimed at Indianapolis, the ancient prin- ciples of democracy, obedience to law, a court untrammeled either by legislative or by executive control, a tribunal which is the last resort of the weak against the powerful. That which our friends at Chi- cago would destroy, we insist on upholding and supporting its decree by the whole bower of the state and national authority. We believe in the Jeffersonian doctrine of equal and exact justice to all, and exclusive privileges to none. “We insist that for every 100 cents’ worth of work done by the laborer he shall re- cetve a dollar worth 100 cents. We advo- cate the freest possible trade, and we insist that the commerce of the world shall be brought to our ports in free ships untaxed for the benefit of any special interest in this country. These were the fundamental doc- trines of democracy we proclaimed, and over that the flag of democracy waves as proudly as ever in the hours of victory. (Applause.) “Mr. Fellows, I accept the task imposed upon me by the national democracy. It was unsought by me and undesired further than as one who Is willing to devote the few re- raining years of his life in the interests of his country. (Tremendous applause.) Not only do I accept the charge imposed upon me, but acknowledging the authority of that great democracy to place its members wherever it chooses, I obey their mandate and bear the flag, which, through you, they have placed in my hands, under our dis- tinguished leader in that vast concourse of true democrats which will follow his steps, knowing that in the future, as in the past, they lead only in the pathway of duty, of honor, of principle and of patriotism.” (Great applause.) At the conclusion of General Buckner’s eech the convention adjourned with three cheers for Palmer and Buckner. MONE! CIRCULATION. Mr. Bryan Discusxed It in One of His St. Loatn Speeches. At the three great mass meetings held at Louls Saturday night, Mr. Bryan ad- dressed between 30,000 and 35,000 persons. At each of the meetings he was greeted with prolonged cheers, and at frequent in- tervals during his speeches there was more applause. The nominee was met at the train by a large crowd. He was’ escorted to the Planters’ Hotel, where he ate din- ner, and then went to Concordia, Park. The Auditorium and Sportsman Park were in turn visited and he inade a speech at each place, ate organ amore other tings, dlscucsen the quantity of money in circulation in Ul United States. He said regarding this su: ject Ww, give me your attention, my friends. In this government publicatio: issued by the Treasury Departmeat on the first of July, 1896, I tind a statement of the amount of money of all kinds in circula- ticn among the people for the various years. Let me call your attention to the amount given here for the years ISvL, "U5 and. "96, “In 1894 the amount of money in circula- tion, according to this report, was 31,u 700,000, In 1805 that amount of money had fallen to $1,601,00),000, a decre in one year of $59,000,000, On the 30a day of 156, the amount in circulation had 10 $1,5116,000,000, at does it mean? It means that in two years’ time, according to the treasury report, the amount of inoney vn circula- tion among the pecple had fallen about one hundred and fifty m In other werds, in two yea’ has been a decrease of about time there 10 per cent in the amount vf money in circulation amerg the pe This, my friends, -is the treas , and this report shows that while the per capita circulation in 1804 was $24.28, ia INVG it had fallen to $21.10, a fall of more than $3 per capita.

Quoting Senator Sherman. “Now, I have called your attention to this decrease shown by the treasury re- rert. Let me show you, my friends, that instead of there being a des there ought to have been an increase each year. Senator John Sherman made a h on the 6th cf June, 1890, and in the course of that speech he used these words: “ ‘If our present currency is estimated at $1,400,000,000 and our population is Increas- ing at the rate of 3 per cent per annum, {t Would require $42,000,000 increased circula- tion each year to keep pace with the in- crease of population, but as the increase ot population ts accompanied by still greater rate of increase of wealth and business, it was thought that an immediate increase in circulation might de obtained by larger purchases of silver bullion to an vmcunt suflicient to make good the retire- ment of bank notes and keep pace with the growth of population.

Now, if Mr. Sherman dil right in 180 in saying that the people needed new moncy every year, then, my friends, I want to ask you why it is’ that the republican party, in the face of the constant decrease in the circulation of mcney, has made no provision whatever to satisfy the needs of an increased popu- lation?” SHEEHAN AINST BRYAN. New York’s Ex-Lieutenant Governor Denounces the Silver Platform. In reply to a recent letter of inquiry from Joseph B. Mayer of Buffaio as to the att tude of ex-Lieutenant Governor Wm. F. Shechan in the present campaign, the latter has made his position plain in the follow- ing statement: “The proceedings of the Chicago con- vention were unparalleled in democratic history. Radicalism, and not patriotism, dominated its course. The guiding, and, in a large measure, the controlling, spirits of that body were republican’ United States Senators—men whose votes made it possible to engraft upon the statutes of this country- the objectionable and dis- astrous McKinley law. When before were rock-ribbed republican protectionists given in a democratic convention seats of honor and permitted to dictate and shape the policy of our party? The patriotic advice of men who had grown gray in democratic service was spurned, and the judgment of these new-found apostles of an und=mo- cratic creed was enthusiastically accepted. “A platform was adopted, under the guise of democracy, from which all thoughtful democrats should recoil. There never has heen a moment since its adop- tion that I could support it, except by a loss of my self-respect. What Is this plat- form? There is not a line in it that is democratic that is not good. There is not a word in it that is bad, and, therefore, undemocratic, that has not been stolen or taken from the populist platform. “If the state I have the honor to rep- resent stands in September where it stood in June I will gladly continue as its rep- resentative upon this committee. But if the organized democracy of the state re- verses iis position, stands where it should not stand, pulls down the banner of de- mocracy, and hoists the flag of populism, I will aby oatne to represent it. If the Buffalo Wonvention tndorses the platform of the Chicago convention or its nom- inees, my resignation will immediately be forwarded to the national committee.” } SILVER TRUST.” “THE SILV) The Honest Money Lengue ues an Appeal to Stand by the Gold Standard ‘The Democratic Honest Money League of America has issued an address to demo- crats throughout the country, of which the following is the substance: A perilous situation confronts our beloved country. A bold, wicked conspiracy, ably organized, thoroughly equipped and ingeni- ously operated, has succeeded in securing a deep foothold among our people. Among noise—but it doesn’t peal out announcements that are raisin; drown the plain statements of fair price. It’s an easy matter for us made—hecause we offer nothi qualities. N.E.

Buy a bag of this ccle- brated tobacco and read the coupon—which gives a list of valuable presents and how to get them. the elements enlisted in behalf of this scheme of public robbery are: First. The commercial and financial de- pression is being used in the most uncon- scionable manner to lead and dupe the suf- fering people to excite them in their ex- tremity to act from blind passion rather than calm pudgment. Second. Men have been shown an appar- ent opportunity to avoid honestly contract- ed indebtedness; they should know that the adoption of a dishonest dollar would lessen the opportunity to earn any kind of a dollar by destroying enterprise and driving capi- tal to cover. Third. Enlisted in this cause are the dis- loyal who would establish Hceense on the ines of anarchy in place of the liberty regulated by the law—the Tillmans, the Altgelds and their sympathizers and fol- lowers, the element which dominated the Chicago convention. This force, led by the agents and attor- neys of the silver trust, has been marshal- n favor of the free and unlimited coin age of silver, the first of the revolutionary objects for which this crusade against pub- lic safety, honor, honesty, patriotism and prosperity is waged. Shall we sacrifice the prestige, character, standing of this great people, that a com: bination of speculators may profit by the sacrifice? Shall we permit the Supreme Court of the country to be tampered with and its character destroyed that the yoke of slavery may be permanently riveted about our necks, and that unbridled cense may be given to the enemies of our insti- tutions? Shall we indorse the doctrine of non-interference with the mob law merely to serve anarchist support to the silver scheme? From the graves of our patriotic dead comes an appeal in the name of lib- erty against such infamy. Thorough, loyal democracy is now called to patriotic duty. If worthy of American- ship you will execute your suffrage where it will do your country most good in this hour of peril. Our country’s honor, integ- rity and safety and the people's ‘repute, and in this constitutes today our creed and the badge of true, loyal democracy. Cockran at Chicago.
