STABLISHED J1 WHAT THE SILVERITES WANT Their Desires Expressed at the Ohicago Oon- vention Yesterday. THEIR PLAINTS AND DEMANDS IN BRIEF Ex-senator Hiil, Governor Walte and Others Argue the Case of the White Metal— Cleveland’'s Actions Denounced —Red Hot Oratory, Ciicaao, Aug. 2—The silver convention resumed its session this morning. Owing to the inadequacy of the rooms used yester- day it was decided to meet in Central Music hall, but the agent stood at the door this morning and rofused to open it until ex Senator Hill, ex-Congressman Symes and C. 8. Thomas of Coloraao guaranteed #20 per day rental. This was done, and the dele- flocked in. President Thurman called nvention to order. The resolution of J. 8. Daugherty of Texas, for the appointment of a committee of one from each state to devise a plan for impressing upon congress and people of the United States the impending peril, threaten- ing ruin to material interests of whi we have only had a foretaste, was referred 10 the committee on resolutions after u dis- cussion. Ex-Senator Hill's Talk, Then ex-senator Hill of Colorado addressed the convention on the silver question, His argument was chiefly based on statistics poing to show that the adoption of a gold stundurd in any country was invariabiy rol- lowed by decades of poverty and aepression He snid the divergence between the value of gold and silver was now greater than when the United States commis- sion made its famous report. and no boundary ean be set to the divergence that may bo reached hereafter, especiully if the foremost silver producing country in the world should lend itself to the attempt being made to establish a universal gold stundard scarcity of gold had nothing to do with present depression. The amount of money now locked up and hidden away was thun double the amount of gold now in circuiation. The supposition that by repealng the Sherman act and thus bringing on us a great fall in the price of the metal we “could coerce Europe into a bimetallic treaty was a delusion. 1f we are driven by conspiracy to revert 1o a single standard we should by all means use silver. If wo restoro silver to 1ts old pluce ais A money metal by unlimited coinage, and, if under the forceof circumstances over which we have no control, our gold should be driven away, we will stll maintain the first position among the nations of the world and compel England. Germuny and France to at once adopt bimetalism In conclusion he declared thatif western Europe persovercs in measures which raise the value of gold so it shall flow from us und we become a silver country we will be ear- ried o piteh of prosperity transcending ull the past and western Burope will be plunged into an abyss of ruin. Referred to n Committee, At the conclusion of Hill's address Hon, J. R. Doolittle of Wisconsin presented u reso- lution declaring 1t the duty of congress to coin both gold and silver in such_a ratio of ghl that the bullion in the silver dollar shall equal in value the bullion in the gola dollar. Referred to committec on resolutions. Congressman I. G. Newlands of Nevada followed in an address reviewing congres- sional legislation on the silyer question. Eng- land, he said, is the greatest gold owning power in the world, We owe hier 600,000, 0007 which she can call for any y. Ita draft of 100,000,000, recently made, worked such disaster in this country, what' would it do if she called for the whol Resolutions Ado "The committee on resolutions this after- noon submitted-a long report. The pream- ble recited that bimetallism s human history, for certai o than 3,000 years, gold and silver came down through ages hand in hand, their relations havin varied but a few points inall thattime, then almost invuriably through' legislation; that both metals were mamed together and in dissolubly united in the constitution of the United States as the money busis of this country; that in IS73, without the provious 1d of any political party orany part of ople and without public discussion, was stricken from the place it had oc- cupied since the days of Abraham uud Pharoub, and undér circumstances of t A, G, Thurman, W. M. Stewalt, D. W. Voorhees, J Blime, then speaker of house, Jame wlleld and other members of congress voting for she bill, subsequently publicly declared that that did not know until long afterward that to great a change had been made in the flnancial system; that debates in cong show that the measure was partly ascribed to one Kruest Lloyd of London, & banker who, it is cluimed, was sent to Washington by the moneyed classes of the old worla to cure its passage by secret and corvupt means: that President Grant, who signod the bill, declured long subscquently that he did not know it demonetized silver; that the object of this attack on silver was to doutte the purchusing power of gold, thus reducing the | of wll commodities, arvesting enter- prise. impoverishing the toiler and degrad- i miukind; that the awful consequence of thir uet is now upon tne whola world I the Midst of Unpiratlolod Distroxs, We stund in the midst of uuparalleled dis- teess, in the shadow of inpending calamitics beyond estimate. The vuling industry of the people who inhabit one-thirvdof the urea of this republic has been stricken down, pro perty values destroyed and workmen com pelled to fly us from a pestilence. IBvery where hoiest toilers, numbering hundreds of thousands, have been thrown out of en ployment, tud compelied to eat the bread of charita or starve: the products of the indus- tries, farm and workshop, have depreciated in price until production ceases to be profita bles the money of the country, inadequat for the business of the tand, has gravitated 10 the banks, while the people, distrusting the banks, demaud sheir doposits o hold or ide; mercantile houses are going to the wall by the thousands because the musses have uot the means to buy even necessities, and the movement of the great crops being guthered demands & vast amount of cur renoy, which the banks are unable to fur- unish, 1 the midst of these conditions the duily press is clamoring for the repeal of the Shei- man - uot, although the repeal means the slobpage of the issue of wore than &3,000,000 of monoy every month, ignoring the fact thut 1o hold the balance level between the debtor and creditor factions the supply of currency must increase with the increased population and business. The growth of the population is 83 per cent ey ten years; the increaso of business is much greator, Quotations from Public Men, The proamble then quotes At length from the utterance of Jawmes Blawe, Daniel Webster and Secretary Carlisie in fuyvor of “ bimetallic surrency, and Hou. John Sh rman on the dangers of mouetary contraction. The resolutions then say: There wust be no com- promise of this' question. Al legisly. tion demonetizing silver and restric ing the coinuge thereof must e imwediately and complotely repealod by au act restoring the coinuge of the coun 'y to the conditions established by the founders of the nation, which continued over elghty years without complaint from auy nart of our people. Every hour's delsy in undo iug the corrupt work of Ernest Soyd and our foreign encmies is un insult o the dignity of the American people, a crushing buraen on thelr prosperity and an attempt to place us agaln under the yoke from which George Washington und compatriots rescued We protest against the finuucinl policy of the Unitod States being made dependent uhon the opinion or policies of uuy foreign &overuwent, uud assert the power of this nation to stand on its own feet and legislate for itself upon all subjects, Only Remedy for the Eviie. We assert that the only remedy for the | purely metallic financial troubles is to open the mints of the nation to gold and silver | on_equal terms at the old ratio of sixteen parts of silver to one of gold, whenever silver bullion can be exchanged at the mints for legal tender silver dollars, worth 100 cents of that money. That 412'¢ grains of standard silver be worth 100 cents, and us commerce equalizes the prices of all com- modities throughout the world, whenever 41244 grains of standard silver is worth 100 cents in the Umted States they shall be worth that everywhere else and cannot be bought for less, While we urge that such resilts would enhance the price of silver bullion, it is sufficient for us to know that a similar case can be made in the price of every kind of proporty, except gold credit, in the civilized world. and it would be a shallow and scltish class that would deny it to the mining in- dustries at the cost of bankruptey to the wholo people. Legislation to demonetize silver has given an unjust increase to the value of gold at a cost of the prosperity of mankind, wheat and all other agricultural products that have ridden side by side w silver. Want the Sherman Law to Stand, The resolutions continue protesting against the repeal of the Sherman act with- OUL the passige of o free coinage act, declar- ing that it would plungo the country into greater finaucial misery: declare that its maintenance, by bimetallism, at the ratio of 16 to L will increasc our comumeree with_all the silver using countries of the world with- out decreasing it with the nations which buy our raw material, and will compel the adop- tion of bimetallism by the nations of Europe; asserts that the present financial calamities are not due to the Sherman act, because the same state of affuirs exists in all the gold standard countries; that our trouble arises from a contraction of the currency ; that the fact that the national currency was not de- preciated shows that the distrust is not of the government, but of the banks which pre- cipitated this crisis on tho country in an effort to control silver legislation, and po- litely asks the bankers to step aside and give the masses a show. For the cousideration of the convention, but not as a part of the platform, the com: mittec also reported the following, which was unanimously adopted *“The committec further recommend that this convention immediately appoint a com- witteo, composed of one member from cach stute and territory to be sclected by the respective delegations, to act in conjunction with the American National Bimetallist league, to devise a plan and to provide ways and means for impressing upon congress and the people the impending pevils from the final demonetization of silver and the adop- tion of a single gold standarc On motion of Mr, Reagan the resolutions were adopted by acclamation.

NO STATE MONEY WAS EVER DEPOSITED Strange Turn Taken in the Adjastment of the Finmncinl Tangle Left by Mr Mosher— OMcors Laxcouy, Aug. 2.—[Special Telegram to Tk Bee. | —Receiver Hayden of the defunct Capital National bank has given verbal notice to State Treasurer Bartley that the claim of the state for the amount of its de- posit, something like $236,000, will not be allowed on the ground that tho state's money had never been deposited in tho bank, or thav the bauk had never got the benefiv of the money. State Treusurer Bartley asked Mr. Hayden to give him written notice of the decision, This the receiver agreed to do as soon as possible, but up to this evening it had not found its way to the treasurer's offlc Receiver Hayden was scen by Tne Bere correspondent this evening, but was ex- tremely reticent in regard to the subject. He admitted that it was - truo that he had decided not to allow the elaim of the'state, and that he was acting under advice from the attorneys, Messrs. Cobb & Harvey and G. M. Lambertson. te had hoped to have placed a written opinion in the hands of the state treasurcr before this, but the absence of Mr. Lambertson, who had been called to Wisconsin by the death of a sister, had delayed the matter. Ho pre- ferred not to discuss the matter further, ix-Trensurer Hill is Not Worrying. The question has boen raised as to whether this action upon the part of the re- ceiver has not prejudiced the caso of ex- Treasurer Hill, who is defendant in the suit brought by Judge Wakeley on behalf of ¢ ernor Crounse to recover the amount de- posited in the bank when it closed its doors The ex-treasurer was seen at his home by Tue Bee carly this evening. He stated that he had heard of the matter only this afternoon, und that he had talked with At torneys Cobb & MHarvey in regard to the matter. They had assured him, he said, that no decision had as yet been reached; that the attention” of the comptroller of the currency had been con- sulted, and that oficial had referred the question back to the attorney for an opinion The ex-u urer knew nothing further-in regard to the new matter, and did not show indications of uneasiness over the new unexpected developments in the case, ion of Receiver Haviden uot to allow the state’s claim has also given a new complication to the caso which is likely to people who have not ub to present time figured prowinently in the muddle. Ralses u Pertinent Polnt. When Treasurer' Bartle; sumed the duties of his office he veceived frow his pre- decessor certificates of deposit on the Capital National bank for over H),- 000. These certificates wero deposited in the bank the next day by Deputy L're: urer Bartley to the credit of the state treas- urer. Lhe bank accepted the certificates, credited the entire amount to the state treasurer, opened a new account in a new pass book and then destroyed the certificates. Treasurer Bartley stated that he felt that $207,000 was too much to keep on deposit in any one banl, and with the view of reduciug it as speedily us possi- ble checked out something like $30,000 within the first few days after he had assumed his office. [t was this extraordinary and uuexpected demand of the state treasurer that precipitated the failuve of the pank. Now the question has pr sented itself to several prominent finan ciers in Lincoln, how is Receiver Hayden to treat the 0000 paid out on checks signed by State Treasurer Bartley? If he holds that the state funds not i posited in tine bank and vev aduits that the bank recognized the stute treasurer's checks w the extent of §10,000, does he propose to consider the latter amourt as an overdraft and attempt to collect it from -the stute treasur ‘This is the question asked by one of the interested parties, but it cunnot be answered until the legal opinion of Receiver Hayde attorneys is given to the public. Will Walt for Written Notice. State Treasurer Bartley said this evening that it was clearly evident that the claims of the state would be ignored, and that it was perfectly safe Lo assume that the state would get n share of the receiver's dividends ouly after a law suit. He could not say what he should doin rogard to the matter until he nad received the written notice from the recciver and could ascertain the logal ground upon which the receivor's do- cision was based. DOESN'T CHANGE HILL'S CASE, Judge Wakeley Exy Litigut ‘When Judge Wakeley, who is counsel for the state in the iust ex-Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen, was asked last evon- ing about the effect of the latest action of the recciver on the case now pending in court he said, he had received no previous intimation of what the receiver had done, but he could not seo how it would have any effect on the case in any manner whatever, “Jtmust be understood,” he said, “that the state us & state does not look to tho bank for that 26,000 Tho state's po sition is that ex-Treasurer Hill ceived the money and failed 1o eithe turn it over to his successor or to pay it out in the way of proper disburse- ments to settle the indebtedness of the state, Tl 18 why the state has never made a demand upon the bank for the money after tho manner of regular depositors. Creasurer-Bartloy wanted this demand made, but I advised very distinctly against it, and iovernor Crounse and Attorney Genoral Hastings declived to make it. The staty has supposed and alleged that the money was deposited as claimed, but it makes no difference to our case whother it was or not. This assertion on the part of the iver, that the money never was deposited, is something that [ had not heard before. If Captain Hill did not deposit it, that 1s his lookout und not the concern of the state. If ne did not deposit it he is certainly liable for the money, and if he did deposit it, he unlawfully converted it to his own use by 80 doing, und therefore embezzled it aud violated nis bond. This has all along been the contention of the state, and this new statement will uot change the situation at all, Will Proceed Steadily. Treasurer Burtloy has recently made a de mund for the mouey, and I suppose that is what called forth the declaration on the part of the receiver. I haveno idea whether the money was deposited or not, but it is certain that there were certificates of deposit showing that the money had been received by the bank. There were a number of ir- regularities practiced in connection with the bauk's paper, but I believe this is the first time that it has been alleged that the ex treasurer's certificates were bogus, the claim heretofore having been that the money was actually deosited, but thut the bank's books wore doctored 80 as to defraud the bunk and deceive the directors and bank ex sminer. 5o far as this phase is concerned, | can ouly say that it will ot cause any change of plans or have any bearing on the case. We have been ruled out of court here on the ground of want of juris diction, but the case will bo ducketed in the supreme court iu i fow days, aud we look for @ specdy heariog, expecting a decision this fall. We do not believe the supreme court will sustain dudge Dav % ut if we are mistaken on that point we w = to know it a8 s00n a8 possible, that wo - * begin suit in Lancaster county, while if * 1 are to be allowed to go ahead here wey % it doter- mined, in order that tho case acninst Mr. Hill and his bondsmen may be pushed right along. OFf course, we would liko to see the bank pav in the money, %0 as to save Mr Hill and his hond, and we would like to soe the money in thesstate treasury, where it be longs, but we not woreving about whether it was ever deposited in the Capital National or not, as that is something that concerns the ex-treasurer and his financial backers more than it.does anybody else.’ — BLOCKADE OF BANGKOK OVER, Siam Concedes Al th France Demnnded wud Slight Addit ons, [Copyrithted 1843 by James Gordon Bennate,, LoNDON, Aug. 2. —[New York Herala Cable —Spectal to Tix Bee, |—Telegrams receivod here from Paris state that the blockade of Bangkok has been raised today, but no word has been received from Admival Humann confirming this intelligence.
