Juan Ferra struck the first blow and in so doing the knife broke in his hand, but the stroke he made would not have killed the Frenchman. I then took the Frenchman’s knife out of his pocket and held back his head and cut his throat, and the incidents following were duly re- lated in the testimony of the case. Juan Sallas was present and assisted in the mur- der of the Frenchman.” District Attorney Daley is satisfied that Sallas was not there. While in jail after his sentence Garcia made a full written confession, which was first made public to-day, in which he accuses Juan Ferra of having been the instigator of the crime for the purpose of robbing the Frenchman of $500, supposed to have been secreted some- where about his chicken ranch. Sallas is also accused in the written con- fession of having been present at the scene of the murder and participatiag. St e HELD UP NEAR SACRAMENTO. Members of @ Driving Party Robbed by a Highwayman. SACRAMENTO, CAvn., June 5.—While Villiam F. Maier, Eugene Lamet and a young lady were riding in the vicinity of they were halted to-night by a lone highwayman, who compelled them to get out of the carriage and give up what meney they had. Maier had only about a dollaron his person, which the robber took. While Maier was being searched he grasped the robber’s pistol, and in the struggle his left hand was badly lacerated. The robber succeeded in getting the best of Maier and then jumped into the cart and drove into the city. WHITES DRIVEN 00T, Continued from First Page. acre. He is virtually a partner with the landowner, the land-renter gnd the labor- ers at a proportion of about one-third, The profits of the crop are thus divided among the land-owner, the renter and the Japan- ese contractor. “How in the name of common-sense can white laborers compete withnsuch a labor system ?”” remarked Commissioner Fitzger- ald. ‘When Fujimoto went out of the door and K. Aoki entered to testify, the contractor remarked in Japanese, “Now you be care- ful what you tell.” Deputy Geffeney, who speaks the lan- guage, told the Commissioner of the threat or warning. The contractor was called back, but he glibly said: “I told him to tell only the truth and not speak false.” 2 The contractor was given a seat in the prisoners’ dock of the courtroom, so that he would not have a chance to coach or threaten remaining witnesses. Aoki is a typical cooly. He said he went from- Yokohama to Vancouver, B. C., on May 2 of last year. Later he went to Seattle, and finally to San Francisco, on May 26 of this year. The witness was very guarded in his answers, and when a leading question was asked failed to re- member. T. D. Marunyama, a Japanese board- ing-house keeper at 270 Brannan sireet, San Francisco, was called as a witness. He said he has kept the house since Janu- ary. He was a schoolboy in the Japanese mission in San Francisco previous to tak- ing the boarding-hous He said: “My father does not ship Japanese ‘1aborers to this country, and I don’t know any one who does. I have heard that there are menin Japan who ship laborers to California, There are several places there where men are shipped. There was a place in Kobe where men were schooled so they would be able to answer the customs officers correctly when entering the United States. That place was closed a few years ago by thé Japanese Government. It was called an emigration bureau. In that bu- reau men could get their passports to the United States, Canada and Australia, and they were fully instructed as to the nature of the questions they would be asked by foreign government officials and what an- swers to make.” In speaking of the patrons of his hotel the witness said that he charges them 30 cents a day for board and lodging and trusts them until they can pay. The num- ber he trusts is greater than the number who pay. Later he stated that nearly all new arrivals have from $40 to $80. He was unable to explain why he trusted when they have so much money. In speaking of the habits of his people, the witness acknowledged that they are considerably given to strong drink. The laborers in his house are sent to Pleasan- ton, Los Angeles, Fresno, Sacramento and several other places,but he denied knowing the names of the bosses in these places. The Commissioners are convinced that Maruyama, Fujimoto and Sato are part- ners in the boarding-house on Brannan street and that while Sato and Fujimoto secure work for the coolies in the fields Maruyama sends to Japan and British Co- lumbia for the men. In speaking of the demand for cooly labor, Maruyama said that there is always a big demand for his people, and that no Japanese are idle. From what he can learn he believes that the Japanese at home have a very exalted opinion of Cali- fornia and all are very anxious to come to this State. He believes that if there should be an opportunity, at least 100,000 would start at once. He does not believe the Japanese Government would permit over 30,000 to leave the island. In Japan farm laborers earn about 40 sen or 20 cents a day and board themselves. They would be only t00 glad to leave Japan and earn better wages in this State. T. Yamamoto, who is Sato’s bookkeeper, ‘was put on the stand. He works for Sato on the Davis ranch. He said that Sato has seventy-eight laborers working on gon- tracts. Sato bas handled gangs of 100 laborers here for the past two years and seems to know where he can get laborers. Yamamoto was a hard witness to examine, being very shrewd and able to evade any questions he did not want to answer. The reason, he said, why Sato does not attend to his own books is because he drinks heavily and is too lazy to work. N. Sotaro, one of Bato’s coolies, statea that he arrived in San Francisco on May 12, direct from Yokohama, on the steamer City of Peking. The day after arriving he 'was visited By Bato, who induced him to work instead of studying English. In Japan he was a policeman, but he gave up his club and star to better his condition in California. As a pqiceman he got $10 758 month. The Commissioners are convinced that the witness gave up his position as a policeman in Japan and came to this State on a contract, imptied, if not written, well knowing that he would better his con- dition. The Commissioners, after questioning other employes, gave up the examination of Japanese in disgust, well knowing that ui‘i could not obtain the truth from any of them. Surveyors EKeach Hanford. HANFORD, Cax., June 5.—The first sur- vey of the San Francisco and 8an Joaquin Valley Railroad reached the north limit of this city to-day and will come into town on the east side, THIRTY ARE RESCUE Five More of the Colima Survivors Reach Manzanillo. NO HELP FOR OTHERS. First Officer Griffith and Pur- ser Wafer Not Found in Boat Five. INHABITANTS SEEKING BODIES Owing to the Depth of the Water Few Will Yet Be Washed Ashore. MAZATLAN, Mex., June 5—The Co- lima survivors found ashore by the steamer Mazatlan have arrived at Manzanillo. They consisted of two passengers, W. H. Nickerson farm, sixty acres of standing bar- ley and sixty sacks for Edward Meyers and thirty acres of barley on the Gillon ranch. The latter two are insured. The fire caught from a trashing engine. T RS PEDDLERS IN CUSTODYX. San Jose Officials Are Enforcing the ZLicense Ordinances. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 5.—City Tax Col- lector Ewing has determined to see that the city licenses are enforced, and Chief Kidward has detailed Detective Anderson to arrest all persons peddling withouta license. Yesterday six vegetable peddlers were arrested, and this morning John Cal- lagara and J. Oneti, vegetable men, and A. Bond, a fish peddler, were taken into cus- tody. They all pleaded not guilty and gave bonds for their appearance in court. The new license ordinance will be tested in the courts. DEFRAUDED BY SCHULZE. More Crookedness of the Tacoma Suicide . Brought to Light. TACOMA, Wasu., June 5—J. O. Ar- mour and P. D. Armour Jr. of Chicago filed to-day in the Federal court a petition alleging that the late Paul Schulze fraud- ulently and collusively conspired with the Northwest Thomson - Houston Electric Company to transier to it stocks and bonds of the Tacoma Railway and Motor Company, without receiving full consid- eration; that for $1,250,000 of bonds, face valye, and a large block of stock the street WILLIAM HENRY ALDER AND W. H. BRYAN, TWO YOUNG MEN OF REDLANDS WHO MET THEIR DEATH IN THE COLIMA WRECK. [Drawn from photographs.] Bryan and N. Owens, and three of the crew, Joe Pegueros, Santa Angel Maria and J. Aikman, These five are undoubtedly survivors of boat No. 5 and the last to hear from, mak- ing the total saved out of 204 to be thirty, as follows: Twenty-one by the San Juan, four at Acapulco, and five at Mazanillo. There is no hope of picking up or find- ing more and the recovery of bodies is ex- tremely doubtful, owing to the extreme depth of the water. However, a few may come ashore shortly. The inhabitants along the shore are patrolling the coast. Hope had been entertained that First Officer Griffiths and rurser Wafer would be among those of boat No. 5, but all hope of their being among the saved is now gone. 5 REDLANDS, CAL., June 5.—W. H. Bryan, one of the passengers saved from the Colima, is about 21 years oid, and had just completed an appren- ticeship as a printer in the office of the TFacts, a local paper. He and Henry Alder, who perished, were bosom friends, and Alder took him upon the trip as a com- panion. Mr. Alder was 26 years of age and un- married. He had been in business in Red- lands for several years, was popular and respected by all. He was a prominent Mason. The family surviving him con- sists of his mother, his sister, Mrs. T. J. Kennard, his stepfather, 8. Alder, and four half-sisters, little girls. They were an unusully happy and affectionate family. Mr. Alder was always kind, courteous and gentlemanly in his ways. He pursued his somewhat difficult call- ing—that of an undertaker—with a dig- nity and reserve not always found in the vocation. He had a life policy for $10,000 and an accident policy for the same amount taken out just before he made the trip. These are payable to his mother and sister, Mrs. Kennard.

TRACY, CaL., June 5,—A grain fire this afternoon, five miles sontheast of Tracy. burned 1500 sacks of barley in stack on the railway company received in money and property only $300,000. They claim that Schulze paid the electric company $350,000 for the Steilacoom road, a suburban line waorth but $60,000. On account of these transactions they declare the company has an equitable off- set against the Thomson-Houston Com- vany of $746,000, and asks that the amount due it and its assignees on the bonded in- debtedness be reduced by that amount. The bonded debt is $1,350,000. The Ar- mours are stockholders and do not want to see the stock wiped out. WEGING LED 70 SUcing Prof. Nash, a British Official of India,Jumps to an Ocean Grave. The Act Caused by the Jealousy of His Wife, Formerly a Hindoo Princess. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., June 5.— The steamship Topeka, which arrived early this morning from Alaska, lost one passenger during the trip. The unfortu- nate whose spark of life went out during the voyage was Professor H. Nash, who, with his wife, was on an excursion trip preparatory to a visit to England, after an absence of fifteen years spent in India, where Nash held the important position of Government Superintendent of Education and Schools and professor of arts and sciences. Soon after the vessel left juneau Profes- sor Nash seemed troubled, as the result of a protracted quarrel with his wife. The latter was a Hindoo Princess prior to their marriage and was powerful in her native country. She was insanely jealous of Nash and several times during the voyage he was heard to say he would commit suicide if she did not leave him in peace. The climax came Monday afternoon, when Nash was summoned by his wife from the smoking-room, where he was en- joying a game with other passengers. Those standing near heard him say he would throw himself into the sea, and, without more ado, he at once plunged over the rail. Mrs. Nash grasped him as he went over the side and narrowly escaped being dragged with him, while she screamed frantically, “Save him, he has all my jewels and the money-box key.” A few moments elapsed before a boat was after the drowning man, but he disappeared before it reached him, and despite the close search was not seen again. CARSON MINT MYSTERY, Pickler’s Arrest Follows the Finding of the Hidden Bullion. It Now Develops That the Discovery ‘Was Made by John T. Jones’ Attorneys. CARSON, NEv., June 5.—John T. Jones' attorneys have turned the bullion they found in Pickler's yard over to the Gov- ernment, and the officials have made no further search. Complaint was made and warrant issued for the arrest of W.J. Pickler. Commissioner Edwards fixed bail at $1000 for his appearance in court next Tuesday. Bonds were furnished. Pickler has had an eventful week. ®n Monday he was arrested for assault and battery and fined $10; on Tuesday he was arrested and bound over to keep the peace in the sum of $100; Tuesday evening he ‘was suspended from the Mint by Superin- tendent Adams, and this morning he was arrested on a charge connected with the finding of the bullion in his yard. The hearing of the case against him for threatening the life of Flo Stewart, the woman who revealed the hiding place of the bullion, came up in the Ju: lgee s court this afternoon, but was dismissed in the absence of the complaining witness on motion of the Dhmeg Attorney. A peculiar feature of the whole case is that so far as the public knows the only real discovery that has been made since the shortage was made by the attorneys of an accused man, and the Government rep- ‘r?ssuhtivel were only present by invita- on, ARE AGAINST GROVER, Democrats of Illinois Who Favor Free Silver. SCORE THE PRESIDENT. Leaders Boldly Condemn the Policy of a Gold Standard. THE “COMMUNISM OF PELF.” Tactics of Mr. Cleveland Declared to Be Not Those of the Entire Party. SPRINGFIELD, Irn., June 5.— With every train to-day came large delegations to the Democratic State Convention. More people came than any one expected, and the streets are thronged with silverites. Blue badges bearing the inscription ““Free Silver, 16 to 1,” fluttered from the coat lapels of the incomers, and many delegations carried banners proclaiming their belief in free. coinage. The delega- tions that came in yesterday and last night were up almost with the sun this morning, and silver speeches by enthusiastic be- lievers in free coinage could be heard in the Jobbies of all the hotels. Every delegate seemed to be for the free coinage of silver, and if there were any opposed to it they were so guiet as not to be noticeable. There is no doubt that a radical freesilver platform will be adopted, | and the Democratic party in this State will be committed to that policy. During the morning the different con- gressional delegations held sessions for purposes of selecting members of the Com- mittees on Credentials, Rules, Permanent Organization and Resolutions. In many cases resolutions were adopted upholding the Democratic State Central Committee for calling a silver convention. When the committees concluded their work a stam- pede was made to get desirable seats in the Senate chamber, which was to be the convention hall. Secretary of State Hinrichsen had ar- ranged the hall in gala attire with bunting and flags in profusion. The galleries filled rapidly. Whoen W. B. Hinrichsen, chairman of | the Democratic State Central Committee, walked upon the stage there was cheering. After it subsided Rev. F. W. Taylor led in prayer. At the conclusion of the prayer Hinrich- sen spoke. In calling the convention to order Chairman Hinrichsen said: The question has been asked, why was the convention called so early. It is easily an- swered, for there were two good reasons. One was to forestall the action of the National 8il- ver party, which was preparing to launch a boom that would have carried away many good Democrats in this and other States, and the other was for_the purpose of opening up the question for discussion long enough before the meeting of the National Convention in 1896 to prevept a hopeless split in the p?‘ty. ltwill be remembered that just previous to the convention of 1888, when the Demoeratic party was divided on the tariff question, much as it is on the money question to-day, Presi- dent Oleveland issued his famouns message committing the party to tariff reform and that the shortness of time between the issuing of the message and the election prevented the thorough discussion of the question and so brought on Democratic defeat. This was one of the mistakes of President Cleveland that the committee did not care to imitate. It has been asserted that a Btate Convention has no right to discuss National issues, and that consequently this convention should not have been called. Such a suggestion is absurd. A National Convention is made up of dele- gates from the different States, and the party in each State has a right to express itself, at any and all times, upon any and all questions, and to instruct its delegates to the National Convention as to the policy it desires carried out. While the action of this convention can- not bind the delegates to the National Conven- tion of 1896, yet its action can and will serve as a basis for a campaign of education to be carried on by the State Committee to the end that the party beunited on one common ob- ject. The committee has been severely criticized for calling this convention. The worst mo- tives have been suggested, the vilest epithets have been used,and men calling themselves Democrats have not hesitated to say through the public press that this action of the committee was irregular, iliegal, traitorous and destruc- tive. Thisconvention was not called for the purpose of reading any man out of the party, nor has the committee or any member concerned in the call given utterance to any expression that would indicate any such intention. On the contrary, every effort has been made to prevent anything like a rupture in the Democratic ranks. At the same time the committee has resented the attempts of a few would-be bosses t0 control the masses, either by means of pub- Jic patronage or by threats of leaving the par- ty, and now that they have so evidently failed t0 accomplish their purpose and desire to leave us we can only bid them good-by and wish them better luck in bossing the opposition. Gentlemen, you have responded to the call of the commitiee in coming here to-day, and it is my hope that your further action will not only mark out a line of policy for the commit- tee to follow, but will serve to unite the Demo- cratic party on one common object and enable us to again write ourselves the majority party in the State and in the Nation. Hinrichsen’s speech was interrupted by frequent applause. At the conclusion of the speech Hinrichsen said the State Cen- tral Committee would announce the list of temporary officers. The temporary chair- man named was Monroe C. Crawford of Union County; secretary, Arthur W. Bent- ley of Pike County. ‘When Judge Crawford’s name was an- nounced, there was tremendous applause. The districts were called for the purpose of receiving the names of the committeemen, and the fact developed that a full list of the district delegates had been selected in the eaucus this morning to attend the National Monetary Convention, should one be held. The committee on resolutions named in- cludes Richard Michaelis, P. P. Keenan and J. W. Lanehart of Chicago, Attorney- General Maloney, N. E. Worthington of Peora and ex-United States Land Com- missioner W. J. A. Sparks. Thomas Neilly of Menard County moved that all resolutions of a volitical nature be referred to the committee on resolutions without being read. Thomas Merritt created considerable ex- citement by opposing this method. The convention was called for the purpose of considering the great question and he was opposed to all gag methods. Adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock to give the committees time to meet and formulate their reports. When the convention reassembled the report of the committee on credentials was read and adopted. The committee on per- manent organization elicited vigorous ap- plause by ngming as permanent chairman Judge 8. B. McConnell of Chicago. The committes appointed to select four delegates at large to the National Silver Convention met during recess. John P Hopkins of Chicago, Secretary of State W. H. Hinrichsen, George B. Fithian of Jas- per County and General Lewis B. Parsons of Clay County were elected by acclama- tion. John Warner of Peoria, John Wat- son of Knox County, General Alfred Orendorff of Sangamon and L. 0. Whitneil of Johnson County were chosen alternates. Judge McConnell made a vigorous speech, which was enthusiastically ap- plauded. Judge McConnell said: This convention has a most peculiar and most important significance. Heretofore man- agers of political parties have so arranged that party politics should be declared only at the time candidates were chosen, and only & short time before the gathering of the representa~ tives of the people. The result has been that often our conventions have put forth a mere assertion of general principles, and on the live issues expressed themselves in meaningless compromises. Colorless candidates have been presented to the people, or candidates unsym- pathetic with the real purposes of the party. This convention makes & departure and is intended not only to allow a free discussion before the next political engagement, but to define our party position with distinctness and definitegess, so that no voters shall fail to understand us, and no candidate—if chosen to office—have a chance or excuse to defeat our command. Congressman William J. Bryan of Ne- braska was called upon to address the con- vention. Bryan’sappearance was the sig- nal for tremendous applause. His speech wss facetious and cutting, and occasioned almest continuous applause, the delegates throwing their hats in the air. He com- plimented Chicago for having as a citizen such a man as Judge McConnell, who would march at tne head of the Demo- rratic party with the double shield. He said that this was the most Democratic audience he had seen in a long time. No party is fair to be a factor in politics which has no opinion on every public question. He said that there were men in the party who wanted the Democratic party to strad- dle a question. He said that there was a time when Cleveland had to face the question of turn- ing to the plutocracy or Democracy, and said had he been a Jackson or a Jeffersen he would have turned to the common peo- ple, and there would be no need of your convention here to-day to repudiate Re- publican principles. [Applause.] “If he had not faltered, the Democracy would have continued in power for years to come- No man who is in favor of the gold standard can talk bimetallism and be honest. If the double standard is right, then mono-metallism is a crime against society. [Applause.] You had just as well have an English general at the head of our army as an English admiral at the head of our navy, as an English bank at the head of the Treasury Department,” said he. ““In 1896 the people of the United States will be called upon to decide whether the influence of this Nation shall be cast on the side of bi-metallism or in favor of a universal gold standard. This question will noi be finally settled until the great common people of the United States de- cide it. 1If, as all admit, the money ques- tion is now the question of supreme im- portance, it must follow thae the people will trust that party with its settlement which first fearlessly espouses the truth. The Democratic party must take its posi- tion upon this question and by the cor- rectness of that position will rise or fall. No coward, whether an individual or a party, can long retain the confidence of the people. Not only is it necessary for the Democratic party to take a position, but the sooner it defines its position, the greater will be its opportunities to win success in 1896. 5 It is to be regretted that the first Demo- cratic President since the war should be- come the tool or instrument in the hands of concentrated wealth, the official head of the “Communism of peli.” Grover Cleve- land is not the Democratic party—Dem- ocracy is greater than any man. It will exalt him who rightly interprets its truths, but will cast him down who seeks to wear his livery and yet serves plutocracy. Silver must be restored to its place and the United States must do its part in the work of re- stering. There is no end to the appreciation of money which a universal gold standard would cause, and we are compelled to choose between a return to the double standard and a continuation of financial distress for an indefinite period and to an unlimited extent. silver is imperative the means are import- ant. If it is restoration at all it must be restored at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. [Prolonged applause.] After reasserting his belief in the power of the United Btates to maintain the double standard while opening its mints to silver, the speaker spoke at length of the necessity of maintaining the ratio of 16 to 1, and concluded as follows: Illinois is the imperial State of the West and the Democracy of ihis day, by meeting in this convention, has earned the right to lead in the fight of 1896. The platform adopted by this convention wiil be in substance the Democratic tplatform of 1896. I1f we are right, as we believe we are, they will be for us more than they will be against us. Truth is unlimited and will prevail. [Cheers.] ‘When 3r. Bryan had concluded Judge Hunter spoke, and then Governor Altgeld was called upon. He spoke at some length, saying in part: It is an irrevocable principle that when you increase the volume of money in the world you increase the selling price of products in the world. (Applause). On the contrary itis also the principle when you reduce the money of the worid, then instantly the selling price of commodities and products have to go down. ‘What followed this arbitraryact of 18787 The fixed charges were left. The mortgages were notreduced. The interest was not reduced. Taxes were not reduced. Consequently our great producing classes found that when they had paid the fixed charges they had nothing left. The merchants could notsell. The rail- roads had little to carry. The manufactories had to shut down. What followed? The laborers in the factories were without work and very soon without bread. You found that out. Now, how are we to get back to the condi- tion that we formeriy occupied? Why, we must restore the purchasing power to the pro- ducing masses of our country. Put them back where they stood when the Government with its strong arm interfered, and the whole ma- chinery of industry will start up, and until that is done there is no possibility of the return of general prosperity. [Cheers.] The Democratic party standing for the peopie is under obligations to right the wrong. The Republican party are followers of the doctrine of Hamilton, They believe in the doctrine that it is the business of the Government to help enrich the people and let those few rich people throw a few bones to the poor. The trouble with us has been that for several years now our Democratic leaders seem to have gone over to the Republican field and tried to take the job away from the Republicans. ‘There were some gentlemen who talked about leaving the party. Oh, Lord, they could not associate with such people. I have notheard of any leaving yet. Ido not believe they will. But I will sey this to you, that if every man who talked of leaving the party would go over into the Republican camp to-day snd weshould bave an election in this State we would poll 40 per cent more votes than we polled last fall. [Applause.] And you must undo by legislation the crime that the Government | Bold, silver or coin, may be discharged by any If the restoration of | 7 did. You have got to have a President who | will be in sympathy—a President who will be willing to stand by the great people of Ameri- ca, and not by the bondholders of Europe. You have got to have a Congress that when it goes to Washington will remember what their con- stituents in Illinois and other States want, [Applause.] You have got to quit trifling with Congressmen who when they go to Washing- ton always lovk to new England for their inspiration. This fight is only peginning. The powers that are against us are powers not to be de- spised — powers that are always fighting — powers that are omnipresent. You will find | that consolidated wealth will be against you. You will find that the fashionable drawing- | rooms will be against us, the daily papers will be against us, the bankers will be against you and every man who makes a living off other people will be against You. Look at the crowd of men that have been fighting you. The danger in this movement will be this: The | thing we heve to fear will be the dangerof a | division. These subtle and seductive influ- ences will wedge you in a little here and will | pull you up a little there and will cause you to | hesitate about this. This talk of going together | arm in arm, “let us all be Democrats,” is but talk and it is not to your interest. Allyou need to do is to hold them back and stand | firmly together and let it be understood that | the men who are not with you are against you. | The Governor was greeted with loud | cheers at the conclusion of his speech. Governor Altgeld was followed by Mr. Michaelis of Chicago and John A. McCler- | nand of Springfield. | The committee on resolutions then re- | ported to Chairman Fithian, submitting | the following resolutions: WHEREAS, silver and gold have been the principal money metals of the world for thou- sands of years, and silver money is recognized and used as honest money between individnals and between nations, notwithstanding various ratios between silver and gold, and, whereas, the demonetization of silver has deprived the people of the free use and benefit of an in- valuable and original money metal and has in- | creased debts and added to the burdens of the people by lowering the value of labor and 1abor products; and, whereas, the constitution of the United States prohibits any State from using anything but gold and silver co'n asa legal tender for the payment of debts, thereby recognizing that coin composed of silver or 8old is honest money and to be used as a legal tender; therefore, be it Resolved, By the Democrats of Illinois in con- vention assembled, that we are in favor of the | use of both gold and silver as the standard | money of the United States and demand the free and unlimited coinage of both metals at | the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the ac- tion of any other nation, and such coins shall be a legal tender for all debts, both public and private, and that all contracts hereafter exe- cuted for the payment of money, whether in money which is by law legal tender. | Resolved, That we hereby endorse the action | ofthe Democratic State Central Committee in | calling this convention, and we instruct the | comymittee to carry out the will of this conven- tion as expressed in its platform by inau- gurating and carrying on a cempaign of educa- tion in this State, and to thoroughly organize the Democracy of the State on the lines as laid | down in the platform of this convention. | Resolved, That the Democratic members of | Congress and members of the Senate from this State be, and they are hereby instructed to use all honorable means to carry out the prinei- ples above enunciated. There was a lengthy debate in regard to i the resolution favoring an invitation to the | National Democratic Committee to call a | National convention. The following was finally adopted: Resolved, That we request the Democratic Na- | tional Committee to call a convention to con- | sider the money question not later than An- | gust, 1895. If the committee refuses to call such a convention, then we invite the Demo- | cratic State Committees of other States to take | concurrent action with the Democratic State | Committee of this State in calling such con- | vention. | When _this resolution was read before the conVention it was greeted with loud applause, as was also the 16 to'1 paragraph of the main resolutions. | A resolution indorsing Governor Altgeld | was greeted with enthusiasm, and the | meeting was irequently interrupted by the shouts of applause, approval of the expres- | sions regarding his veto of certain bills | being quite numerous. | After the adoption of several coropli- mentary resolutions, the sonvention ad- journed. The committee appointed to select dele- gates-at-large to a national silver conven- tion, in case one should be held, imme- diately after recess was taken elected John P. Hopkins of Chicago and Secretary of | State Hinrichsen as delegates. There was | more discussion, and then, on motion of P. B. Green, George W. Fithian of New- town and General Lewis B. Parson of Clay- ton County were chosen. The alternates selected were John Warner of Peoria, John Watson of Galesburg, General Alfred Orendorf of Springfield and L. O. Whitnell of Johnson County. WILL SPLIT THE PARTY. Senator Sherman’s Idea of the Illinois Convention. CLEVELAND, Omnro, June 5.—Senator Sherman was asked to-night what signifi- cance he attached to the silver convention in Illinois. “I think,” he replied, “that the Demo- cratic party will be hopelessly divided on the silver question. It may be that in Tllinois the Altgeld faction will commit the State to free silver, but the Democrats in the East will never consent to it. I think the Democratic party will split hope- lessly on that rock. In our party it is dif- ferent. I thinkthat even the Republicans in the far Western States will before long be for the coining of silver in limited amounts and when needed.” Keep Your Blood Pure And you will have good health.
