Tawney and ad>pt a platform. The platform ratifies and approves the dec- Jarations of the recent national Re- publican platform and pledges to the nominees of that convention active and enthus ic support. It indorses the twin doctrines of protection and reci- procity. It charges the Democratic party with inabi to deal with the grave problems of finance and industry according to any principle of econom- ics, save one based on sectionalism, i dividual favoritism and monopo! ie influence. It says: “The Republican party made and eve; nce maintained every dollar, whether of gold, silver or paper, equal in purehasing and debt- paying power.” John A. Lovely of Freeborn made the speech of nomination, and it was a warm commendation of Mr. Tawney and his record. Loud applau ‘eet- nomination received ed him, and the nr about every county in the made by acclamation Renominated. Mankato, Minn., July 2. — James McCle s renominated as his own in congress by a unani- ious vote of the delegates of the Re- public party of the Second congres- ional district in convention assembled in this city upon motion of his op- ponent in the race, George W.

Heatwole as candidate to succeed himself in congress. George Welch of Morton was chairman and §. H. I rington of Waterville was secretar. Judge Mott of Faribault was chair- man of the committee on resolutions. They expressed in brief the full prin- ciples of the Republican party, com- mended Congressman Heatwole for his work, recommended him for re- election and included the following money plank: “We believe the free coinage of silver by the United States alone with- out int ional agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world would overwhelm us with a flood of cheap foreign silver and great- ly retard the new era of prosperity so ed for, and which now it hand. We therefore ee coinage of silver and favor the steady maintenance of our present gold standard, feeling conti- dent that such a course will the more surely and quickly bring returning pr to all our industries, in- cluding silver. We in: that the dol- lar. whether of gold, silver or paper, shall be worth its face value in any market in the world and that the credit and honor of the nation shall at all times be maintained.” Jumps Between Moving Cars, St. Paul, July John S, Koch end- ed his life this morning by throwing himself between the cars of .a freight train, which was being made up at the Omaha yards. He was instantly de- capitated and his head rolled outside the track. The only other injury to his body w: a badly hed Despondency over financial reverses is assigned as. the use of his suicide. Until about a year ago Koch was the propriétor of a boot and shoe store at 247 st Seventh street. At that time he failed with heavy liabilities. It was said that he had sunk $10,000 in the business, and that he had since brooded over his financial difficulties. Berry Pickers Killled.

Clarke of St. Paul was nominated for congress. FEW BROKEN PATES. Riot Clubs are Used by Policemen in: Cleveland. Cleveland, Ohio, July 2.—For nearly a month the strike at the works of the Brown Hoisting and Conveying company has continued with frequent though individual attacks by strikers upon workmen who had taken their places. The police have been patient under the abuse of the idle men, and to-day for the first time violence was shown the officers and they dealt the strikers a blow with a heavy hand. One lundred and seventy employes of the Brown con pany were marched from the works under escort of eighty policemen to the car tracks on St. Clair street. A crowd of 2,000 men, women and boys gathered and began hooting and hissing. ‘Two motor cars came along and were signalled to stop, but the strikers yelled “Go ahead, don’t stop,” and the motormen in- creased their speed and whizzed by. The police then marched the men in their charge a block further away, to a corner, and halted for another car, the roaring crowd following. Some one in the crowd threw a big stone which struck Patrolman Keidel and cut his head open. Deputy Chiet of Police MeMahon then gave a pre- arranged signal and the crowd was given a terrible lesson. Forty police- men swung out into line and the oth- er forty closed in around the men they were protecting. The first forty under command of Capt. English and Liert. Don, charged the crowd with riot clubs and they hit to break heads. Two rushes up the street sent the crowd in that direction flying and left a dozen men lying on the pavement with bleed- ing heac Then the police charged twice in the opposite direction and then down a side street, using their clubs vigorously. They scattered the crowd effectually and arrested four of the ring leaders after splitting the scalp of one of them. In the meantime the police guarding the workmen stopped a car almost by force and sent their charges away. No one was dangerously hurt by the clubbing, so far as could be ascertained, but there are scores of broken heads. Serious trouble is feared to-morrow afternoon, anda heavy guard of police will be on the ground. MARKET REPORTS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers, Chicago.

Meekison of Napoleon, Ohio, was nominated by the Demo- crats to-day for congress, Free coin: age of gold and silver was endorsed. The captain knocked the ashes from "his pipe and tilted his chair backward, that he might put his feet on the desk. It was after midnight and the steady throb of the presses came up from the basement as their gaping maws took in the long rolls of white paper and delivered the first edition, ready for the mail, a moment later. In the composing room the machines clicked steadily away as the operators put the later news of the night into shining lines of type; and in the edi- torial department a few belated writ- ers were grinding out their last copy. “The Fourth of July is half an hour old,” said the captain, as the last ashes fell from the pipe, “and if Tat- terson, here,” (turning toward th‘e po- lice reporter, who had just come in) “has got time to listen awhile, Vil spin you the yarn of one Independ- ence Day that we spent in Guate- mala.” Having refilled and lighted the pipe to his liking, while the boys gathered around, he continued:; “It was in July, ’84, and we were camped on the Rio Gracios a Dios. Our compauy was mostly Americans, and we hadn’t seen Old Glory since we left Cuba, over two months hefore, and the boys felt blue about it. The Guatemalan flag is a pretty one, for it has all the colors of the rainbow in it, and some that are not in the bow, but it isn't one to tie to. Well, we'd been talking about the Fourth, and wishing that we had a flag that we could run up and salute, but it had got around to the third, and we seemed no nearer to our desire than we were two weeks before. “On the morning of the third I took Paterson and five other men, and went on a scout on the south side of the river. It was hotter than blazes and we had fourteen hours in the saddle, so it was after dark when we came in. The sun had just set when we ’spied a fire gleaming through the trees. I sent Pat to look it up, and he crawl- ed off through the bushes. Pretty soon he came back with the word that it was only a beach-comber, as they call tramps down there, so we went up and surrounded him. A more dirty, ragged specimen of the genus tramp I have rarely seen. He told us his story. He had tramped all over the United States, amd at Mobile had joined a fruiter trading to Bocas del Toro. He had deserted there and was beach-combing it back to civiliation. “Take a Pull, and Pull Hearty.” We proposed that he go with us to camp, and he was only too delighted to accept the proposition. “We took him with us to camp, and after Burleigh had questioned him a bit we fed him up. We were not liv- ing on Delmonico fare ourselves, but it would have done you good to see that fellow eat. After he got through he pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket, and the next thing I heard was a howl from Pat, and in a minute he was waving the handkerchief over his head and half the boys in camp were yelling like mad. It was neither more nor less than a little American ag. I reckon the tramp thought we had all gone crazy, for we shouted and sang and laughed and cried, and ragged and dirty as that old handkerchief was, there were many of the boys that kissed it. As for the owner, he was right in cloyer—there was nothing in camp, that was too good for him, and one of the boys, that had never been known to share anything with any one, astonished the crowd by produc- ing a bottle from some secret place and inviting his trampship to ‘take a pull, and pull hearty.’ Before he slept Gury —B 4 ag our new comrade had had a bath in the river, and was rigged out in the company uniform. “The next morning the handkerchief was carefully w&shed, and the whole company appointed itself a committea to see that it was properly done. Then after cutting out a corner of our com- pany flag, I carefully sewed in our new treasure, and Bostwick, the color sergeant, nailed it to the staff. When this was done Burleigh formed the company on three sides of a square, and Bostwick and Coggswell, the tramp, advanced to the center with the flag. Three volleys were fired in its honor, and then three times three cheers and a tiger were given for the home in the northland that most o: the boys were never to see again. They were a gallant company, but [ know they never before fought as they did that same night, when we were attacked as we were making a night march, and our new Old Glory received its first baptism of blood. For Bostwick and Coggswell and Will- iams, one of the corporals, were killed, and as carried each one to his grave, the folds of the little flag rested over his heart, while the colors of Guate- mala, in whose service he had died, draped his body.” Why Mr. Jones’ Fourth of Jul= Speech in Costume Never Was Handed Down to Posterity. SILVER MEN MEET CONFERENCE OF THE DEMOCRATIC BIMETALLIC COMMITTEE, All Those Present Yielding Anything to ‘the Gold. Standard Element—Illinois’ Dele- gation Starts a Movement for the Abrogation of the Two-Thirds Rule. Are Opposed to Chicago, July 2.—The conference of the members of the Democratic nation- al bimetallic committee was called to order to-day by Senator Harris of Ten- nessee, who is chairman of the organ- ization. There was present a quorum of members of the committee and a large number of distinguished silver Democrats. The first meeting was devoted largely to introductions and the exchange of views as to the out- look for the approaching conyention. The opinion was generally expressed that there would be no question as to the absolute control of the convention by the silver forces to which was gen- erally added a determination that nothing happened to weaken the control. There was no expr ion fa- vorable to yielding anything to the gold standard element. The formal proceedings consisted in the appoint- ments of a committee to confer with the executive committee of the nation- al Democratic committee. The terms of the resolution under which this com- mittee was appointed authorize the committee “to confer with the execu- tive committee of the national commit- tee in reference to all questions affect- ing and relating to the temporary or- ganization and proceedings of the na- tional convention.” The feeling which controlled the meeting and which seemed to exist among all those pres- ent was that the situation demanded that no precautions be neglected in making sure of the temporary organi- zation of the convention by the silver majority. Delegates to the nvention who have arrived generally appear averse to discussing the probability that Sen- ator Teller will cut any. figure in the Democratic convention. The senator has a number of personal friends among the silver delegates who have already arrived, and among them are some who would not be averse to his nomination for president. They feel, however, that the conditions are not yet ripe for the springing of his name, and they say it would be opposed to the interests of both Senator Teller and the silver cause to bring him to the front at this time, if at all. There are also a number of Senator Teller’s sil- ver Republican and Populist friends in the city who are devoting them- selves more to watching the course of events than to any active work. The Populists who are here say openly that Mr. Teller is the only man the Demo- crats can name that they will endors The silver Republicans are not so pro- nounced. They put the matter less pointedly by saying that Teller is the only man whose nomination would in- sure the Western States to the Demo- cratic ticket. Determined to Control. The committees appointed by the Democratic bimetallic committee to confer with the executive committee of the national Democratic committee will meet the gentlemen composing this organization to-morrow. Chair- man Harrity is expected to arrive during the forenoon and to call the ex- ecutive committee tegether soon after his arrival. Other members of the na- tional organization have assured the silver committeenen that they will be received soon after the executive com- mittee is called together. Members of the executive committee with whom the silver men conferred to-day assured them that no steps had been taken looking to the selection of temporary ofiicers. This has had the effect of causing the meinbers of the bimetallic organization to feel that possibly there will be no effort at snap judgment. They will, however, make their call and present a statement of the action of the bimetallic committee and ask that the committee be allowed to sug- gest the tempo: y presiding offizer. If this request is uot granted they will report to their full committee and the full committee will proceed to se- lect a man for the place and purpose for his election at the outset of the convention in the face of a contrary nomination by the national convnittee. This course will not, however, be adopted without full warning to the national committee in case such warn- ing appears to be necessary. Also, in the event that the national committee consents to the suscestion, the silver men will proceed to name a man for the place. It is even possible that they would consent to a compromise that would allow the national committee to make its own selection of a presid- ing officer in case they agree to take a silver man and submit the name to the bimetallic committee before an- honneing the nani. The silver meu are very determined upon the point of not being thwarted in this matter, and are giving their en- tire attention to it. They will tell the national committee very plainly that the orly way to avoid a clash in the convention ard fer the national com- mittee to avoid being repudiated, is for it to accede to the wishes of the silver men in this matter. The Two-Thirds Rule. The Mlinois delegation to the nation- al Democratic convention voted unan- imously to-day to support in conyen- tion a resolution for the abrogation of the rule requiring presidential candi- dates to receive the votes of two-thirds of the convention to insure nomination. The proposition was reported in an earnest speech by Gov. Altgeld. The governor disclosed that the two-thirds rule had been a curse to the Demo- cratic party ever since it came into ex- istence. Its principal effect was, be said, to enable the minority to dictate the nominations to be made by the party. Iurthermore the rule was un- democratic, and the Denioecratic party was a party of majority control.

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 millions of 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 bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good bealth, and the system is regular, 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 chouid have the best, and with the weli-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction, ASTORY OF GOLD And Description of Cripple Creek.
