and it is often necessary to receive
and give hard blows to achieve success.
The dreamer frequently goes hungry,
and is often forced to borrow money to
pay his debts. If he does not act he
will cease to live, and' the sooner he
learns this fact the better for his body
and mind. And one should be satis

THE CROP OF 1895.
The Inter Ocean has the following
review of the general outlook of the
"The summer is not'" over,. nor is the
harvest ended, but the season is far
enough advanced to leave hardly any
doubt as to the crop of 1895. Hay and
the small grains are harvested, except
that in the far west the alfalfa grass
keeps on 'yielding seed after its kind,'
crop after crop, never seeming to need
any rest from growth except when the
frost comes or the irrigation ditch
drie's -up. -
- "The spring and early summer were
very dry in some sections, and the ag
gregate hay crop was light. -This was
especially true in the dairy country,
north and east. A good many milch
cows are being marketed by farmers
who have lean hay mows.
"With this exception the crops gath
ered were unusually good. The scare
about wheat was groundless, as it
proved. Minnesota, the Dakotas, and
the wheat belt generally have a boun
tiful supply of this cereal. Oats,
which, are now food for man as well as,
beast, are plump and abundant. A
good deal of flax was raised. The bar
ley suffered far more from the 'Wilson
tariff than the early drought.
But the great crop of the season
promises to be corn. It has now come
so near the point of 'maturity that
there is very little fear of any serious
damage from any cause. The acreage
was never so great, 81,990,800
acres, and the prospects for yield
per acre were never better.
Last year the estimate in December
wa s 1,212,670,052 bushels. The highest
mark ever reached was 2,112,892,000
bushels. That was in 1889, when the
acreage was 78,317,651 acres. It is be
lieved that the yield will be as heavy
per acre this year as then. With our
railway facilities any deficiency in hay
can be made up by ' the abundance of
corn.
"The prospect is that the European
demand for our surplus will be enor
mous, keeping up the price fairly
well.
'The cattle have had such good pas
turage on the ranges, as well as the
farms, that they will require less corn
per head to be fit for slaughter. But
the tendency of farmers is more and
more to ship their corn in the concen
trated form of hogs..
Early in the season there was a great
deal of fear for the fruit crop, but the
trees are well loaded now. Colorado
alone, a state not much thought of in
connection with fruit raising, will
have, it Is thought, 5,000,000 pounds.
Plenty of fruit means luxury as well as
comfort and health.
"Clearly It will not be nature's fault
if hard times linger. Heavy crops will
benefit all classes, for agriculture is
the basis of prosperity. Largely in
proportion as the farmers have large
crops and good prices will trade be
active -and collections good. Other
factors enter into the problem, but
certain it is that there can be no con
siderable thrift without good crops.
DEMAOOQISM.
In a free country, where universal
suffrage prevails, there are vast oppor
tunities for demagogism, and these
are not neglected by politicians in this
republic. "The people," "the masses,"
"the millions against the millionaire"
are rallying cries of demagogues, by
which they hope to delude the public,
and by this means to accomplish the
object desired. In many instances
they are successful, and frequently the
political shyster is elevated into office,
and the honest patriot defeated. It is
a general rule that a man of few words
is one of many aets, and rice versa
He who makes numerous promises re
deems but few, and the true friend is
the one who will come to your relief
in the hour of your adversity and
makes no idle boast of it. These rules
are directly. applicable to the. blatant
politician, who is very outspoken about
the evils to be remedied and the last
to institute any reform. He is one of
that class of men who are constantly
decrying plutocrats and the domina
tion of wealth, and who are most ear
nestly desirous of changing places
with them. Before every election,
especially one of national importance,
these men are the loudest in their pro
fessions of interest in the laboring
masses, and the most severe in their
denunciations of capitalists and cor
porations. Their purpose is easily dis
cerned, but still they pursue the same
tactics year after year with remarka
ble success. It would seem that think
ing men would realize the true intent
of these selfish politicians; but they
appear to be absolutely blinded re
crardintr everything except the fair
promises made, and pay no attention to
their fulfillment.
In this country, where avenues of
wealth are open to all, and where, if
any continue distressfully poor with
out being the victims of misfortunes
that could not be overcome, it must
be considered due to their lack of
economy, inherent ' indolence or
shiftlessness, there should be no an
tagonism against those who have ac
cumulated wealth. Those who are
poor today may be rich tomorrow
and this has frequenily happened in
this country and conditions may sud
denly change whereby the wealthy
may be reduced . to poverty in a few
hours, which is not an unusual occur
ence. Very few are born in wealthy
conditions, and none to privileged
positions. The country is as free as it
could be, consistent with the enforce
ment of salutary laws for the protec
tion of society. There should be
harmony among all classes, and -in
governmental affairs there should not
be the least antagonism against those
who possess an abundance of prop
erty or money. They are directly
interested in the permanency of the
established institutions, and are
personally concerned in the econo
mical administration .of state and
national affairs, because the burden of
taxation bears heavier on them than
on their fellow citizens whose names
never appear on the tax roll or who
never indulge in luxuries on which
tariff is charged. If these matters
were properly understood politics
would be much purer, and the ballot
would be more nearly expressive of
the sovereign will and not be as sub
servient to the desires of unprincipled
and selfish politicians.

which many other things rest, it is re
asonable to believe that it points to
renewed prosperity.
A New York court has fined a detec
tive $10 for shadowing a man, and the

evidence in that way.
Kentucky corn and wheat are all
right. It will be all the better if the
Democratic crop should prove a failure.

Forest fires in Oregon and Washing
ton this summer have destroyed vast
.quantities of valuable timber, and this
year is simply a repetition of many
others. These fires are annual occur
ranees, and notwithstanding there is a
stringent statute against them, it
seems impossible to stop the mischief.
The Oregonian says: "Our local

question.

in session in Springfield yesterday,

and the silverites are left no fold into

the Populists, where they rightfully
belong.

A TRAGIC EXPLOSION.
Nine Ben Blown to Eternity Without tbe
Least Warning.
Pittsburg, Aug. 20. An explosion
at the furnace-house of the Carnegie
Steel Company occurred at Braddock
at 5 this morning and killed nine men,
injured 16, and destroyed 830,000 worth
of property. Five of the injured will
die. All the killed and injured were
Hungarians, except James Harrison,
the foreman. The explosion was due
to a "hang" in the furnace, which was
suddenly loosened and dropped into
the molten metal below, generating
immense quantifies of tras so suddenly
that it could not escape by ordinary
means. A few minutes before tbe ex
plosion one of the too fillers dumped a
barrow of material into the bell of the
furnace, which he had forgotten to
raise. This clogged up the top of the
furnace and prevented the gas from
escaping. A gang of 16 men in charge
of James Harrison were sent at once
to the top of the furnace to remove the
obstruction. All were closely crowded
about the bell of the furnace, remov
ing the material, when there was a
terrific explosion and the men, bar
rows, tools and materials were hurled
in all directions. Deadly gases and
smoke belched from the furnace top,
and the gang of men fell as if they had
been shot. One was blown from the
top of the furnace along the metal
roadway to the elevator shaft, down
which he fell, and. striking on a car,
was cut in two. A relief crew quickly
went to the top of the furnace, where
lay 15 men, bleeding, torn, burned and
dying. The flames and smoke were
still coming from the furnace, and the
work of rescue was dangerous in the
extreme. Three men died before they
reached the bottom of the elevator
shaft, and six others died between 5
and 8 o'clock. The contents of the
furnace were scattered hundreds of
yards around the furnace, falling in all

withont factories of different kiuds
being inaugurated to furnish employ
ment. Consumers will not come with
out they can find employment, and
there are no industries here at present
to furnish this. A move in this direc
tion would be an advisable one, and
there should be no delay in begin
ning it.
The arrest of those engaged in the
lynching at Ellensburg was the proper
thing for the authorities to do, and yet
such acts of violence are liable to oc
cur at any time while the people lack
faith in the enforcement of law. Those
engaged in the banging of the Vin
sons were unquestionably guilty of a
crime against the state and the quiet
and peace of the community; but still
there are good citizens who believe
the most effectual way to deal with
murderers is to hang them at the first
opportunity without waiting for tbe
courts to inflict the punishment.
The latest news from China is to the
effect that the American missionaries
near Foo Chow had been attacked by
stroyed. If the furnace should have tc
be rebuilt tbe total damage will be
$30,000. The homes of the killed and
injured were near the furnace, and the
streets in that vicinity were filled with
a mass of frantic, half-crazed women
and children.
INSURGENTS ABE DEFEATED.
Several Engagements Resulting in SpantBh
Victories.
,HaVANA, Aug. 20. A general order
has been issued organizing five mili
tary zones in Las Vega9. The commander-in-chief
will be General Surez
baldes, second in tbe province to Gen
eral Luque. The troops for these
zones will be assigned from the new
levies to be dispatched from Spain.
Engagements have taken place be
tween Lieutenant-Colonel Palanca
and the insurgents band in Lomo
Siegurity. The insurgents were com
pletely surprised and lost sixty killed.
Palanca also met and routed Holoff
and Sanchez, who retreated and finally
sought safety in Puerto Principe. The
Spanish. lorces were joined by
contents Saturday night. The thief
got about $15 in cash, and a diamond
ring valued at $30. Mr. Barnett is
positive that he knows who the thief
is, but cannot have him arrested for
lack of evidence. It is generally be
lieved he is the same person or persons
who operated in Heppner a short time
ago.

Protection of citizens is one of the

the right of domicile has always been

England and America can and ishould.
There should be immediate action
taken regarding this outrage, and

THE WHITMAN STORY.
A DEVELOPMENT.
IS IT DESIRABLE?
The Cuban insurrection, while it has
cost Spain dearly in treasure and.men,
has not developed sufficient strength
to be termed a revolution. There are
predatory bands of rebels through the
island that have had several engage
ments with Spanish troops, but so far
the movement has lacked a competent
leader and concentrated effort. In New
York and Key West Fla., there ap
pears to be more intelligent endeavors
in the matter of consolidation of
affairs than in the island itself. In
r fact the very brains of the movement
seem to be centered in the ' great city
in cms country, ana inis, notwith
standing the fact that the authorities
. at Washington have exercised the
greatest diligence to maintain, a strict
. ' neutrality. . The wealthy Cubans who
' live in New York and Key West fur
nish the brains' of the movement, and,
while they are hampered by the sur
veillance of the government, there is
no doubt that several filibustering ex
peditions .have left our . shores and
landed men and arms in Cuba. Like
London in Europe, New York is rap
idly becoming the. rendezvous for revo
lutionists on this continent, where
they can concoct their schemes, and
set the machinery of rebellion in op
eration. " !:-7
The people of this country almost
universally sympathize with any move
ment that has for its object the
amelioration of the condition of man
. , kind. But this sympathy is sometimes
wasted upon unworthy subjects, and
it is a pertinent inquiry whether it is
not in the case of Cuba. The higher,
freer political life, of a republic, is not
suited to the conditions of all peoples,
and frequently a monarchy is the better
form of government. Liberty with
the ignorant and vicious becomes
license for the gratification of beastly
passions and the Tent of brutal re
venge and hatred.".; Self government
implies, .restraint, and frequently
of a self-sacrificing nature. Any class
of men to do this must be thoroughly
intelligent ' and understand experi
mentally and theoretically the basic
principles of free . institutions.
Whether the Cubans have attained
this development Is questionable.
There are undoubtedly men among
them who are thoroughly- competent
to manage the. affairs of a republic,
but the ' mongrel, ignorant masses
would be pliant' tools in - their hands,
however well personal liberty may be
guarded. . With a mixed population,
stimulated to no patriotic efforts by race
pride', popular government is a farce,
and the elective franchise s potential
factor to perpetuate the serfdom of the
lower classes. ' It is better under such
conditions that monarchy be perpe
trated until the. people have assimi
lated, and by long years of education
and training, become homogeneous.'
Cuba is in this condition today,
and before -the ... blacks . and

Says a Democratic exchange: "On
Tuesday nearly $3,000,000 of gold was
withdrawn from the treasury for ship
ment to England. - How much better
it would be if $3,000,000 worth of wheat
had been withdrawn from the ware
houses of the country for shipment to
England." Yes, it would have been
better; but England doesn't buy our
wheat until the supply from elsewhere
is exhausted. The balance of trade is
against us, and we are forced to send
large' quantities of gold to London to
pake up the deficiency. When pro
tection was" the policy of the nation
Americans were satisfied with. Ameri
can goods, and English fabrics did not
find such ready sales in . this country.
But we have been experimenting for
the. past few years with Democratic
free trade, and there is a depleted
treasury and the country has suffered
the worst business depression ever ex
perienced in its history. ' It is better
for the country to keep its money at
home than to send it abroad; it is
better for the state to do the same, and
for the county and city. These are the
cardinal principles of protection, and
we are glad to see our Democratic con
temporaries supporting them. If the
free trade policy of Democracy were
to continue a few years longer there
would be a healthful growth and sub
stantial development of the doctrine
and basic principles of protection. It
may appear paradoxical, but protect
ionists are being made every day by
the free-trade policy of the present
Democratic administration, and the
crushing defeat of 1892 will be the in
centive and cause of a glorious victory
in 1896.
this is an age of inonoclasts, and Fran
ces Fuller Victor, in an article in a
late number of the San Francisco Call,
contradicts the accepted theory of the
reason of Whitman's ride to Wash
ington and its effect upon the state
department in changing the terms of
the Webster-Ashburnton treaty and
saving this portion of the northwest to
locks at the Cascades, and that will be
accomplished next year; but this will
not be a "boom" in 'he common mean
ing of the word. The advancement
will be impelled by natural causes, and
will be permanent and substantial.

the treaty was made before Dr. Whit

tion in dispute was the boundary of
Maine. The doctor's object in visit
iwg the east was to report the con
dition of the mission at Wailatpu,
where the Indians had become trouble
some, and Le had been ordered to
leave by the board before he undertook
the journey. Mrs. Victor has not the
least respect for romantic history, and
presents the facts with the heartless
ness of one who delights in destroying
the images before which the people
delight to bow in humble obeis
ance and worship. The celebrated
ride was made in the fall and winter of
1842, and the year before Dr. Whitman
started on his return trip a missionary
by the name of White had sent a train
of immigrants to Oregon. Having
been killed by the Indians for whose
physical and spiritual welfare he had
labored for many years, the people
have been inclined to give Dr. Whit
man all honor for anything he may
have done, and to include him in the
lists of those martyrs who sacrificed
their lives for the benefit of future gen
erations. Mrs. Victor is fortified in
every position she assumes, but her
version of tbe affair will not be eager
ly accepted, because it destroys the
patriotism and disinterestedness of Dr.
Whitman in which the public have

Night.
Omaha, Nebr., Aug. 21. A special
to the .Bee from Gothenburg, Nebraska,
says: Last night shortly after mid
night the eastbound overland flyer,
No. 8, on the Union Pacific, was held
up at Buttermilk hill, about two miles
this side of - Brady Island, where the
sand hills terminate. There were
three men Visile according to Con
ductor Flynn'e description. Two of
the gang got on the train at Brady
Island, going forward over the tender
after the train was in motion, and with
revolvers drawn compelled the en
gineer to-go back to, the baggage car
and gain admittance. He informed
the baggageman they were held up and
the robbers had a gun at his head.
They were admitted and the express
man was compelled to open the smaller
safe. He could not open the larger
combination safe and the robbers pro
ceeded to blow the top out with dyna
mite. Meantime the fireman uncou
pled the engine and ran to Gothen burg
for a poase. In a short time 20 volun
teers were en route for the scene of
the robbery, but before they arrived
the robbers disappeared. The bandits
wore black slouch hats with black silk
nanairercnieis ior masKs. They were
about 5 feet 10 inches high and they
would weigh about 150 pounds. They
rode horseback and evidently came in
from the Black hills. The windows
were blown out of the baggage car by
the explosion. The passengers on
board were much excited, but not mo
lested. Section Foreman Alexander
Vrooman has seen some men around
the place of the robbery several days
and has a good description of them.
Superintendent W. L. Park and Sheriff
,Mjller, of North Platte, have arrived
in a special car with a posse and will
leave for Brady Island, the scene of
the robbery. A posse haa already
been sent out from North Platte and
Brady Island. Every effort is being
made to capture the robbers before
I they get out of the country. It is im

Seattle, Auer. 21. A special to the

ful shooting affray occurred at Avon- J
dale, about eight miles east of here
this morning, resulting in the death
of Joseph Cicero and probably mortal
wounding of Jim McCann, both ranch

has existed between Cicero and the
McCann brothers since the election

McCann and his brother, they im-

Finally Cicero and Jim McCann came
to blows, and when separated by some
bystanders, one of the McCann broth

ARMY COURIER ON WHEELS.
Private Anderson Leaves Fort Walla
Walla For Vancouver.
Pendleton, Aug. 22. The war de
partment is making a number of tests
of bicycles as a means for the carrying
of military dispatches from station to
station. These tests have been made
mostly in the eastern states, and have
to a reasonable degree of satisfaction
proven that tie wheel may be utilized
by the military during times of emer
gency between points far from railway
stations. Today there left Fort
Walla Walla, Private F. L, Anderson,
of the Fourth cavalry, U. S. A , riding
a 21-pound bicycle, and bound for Van
couver. He bears dispatches from
Colonel Compton, commander at the
Walla Walla fort, to General Otis, in
command . of the department of the
Columbia, with instructions to deliver
them at the earliest possible moment,
making the entire distance on his
wheel."
His equipment consists of forty-one
pounds of "impedimenta," including a
carbine, two pistols, fifty rounds of
ammunition, two blankets, a silk tent
and three days' rations. He is sup
posed to mate the entire trip with the
supplies he carries away from the fort.
Private Anderson is a well-built
young fellow of medium height, and
weighs 145 pounds. When on his
wheel, with all his equipment, the
total weight is 227 pounds.
His route is laid out in. his instruc
tions for the entire way. He was in
structed to proceed by wheel to Pen
dleton, then to Echo, where he is to
leave the railroad and go across the
country to Celilo. Thence the route
takes him to the John Day river
country into The Dalles, from where
he takes the old road from Portland to
Vancouver.
Private Anderson is the post libra
rian, and has no marvelous records in
bicycle riding. He is a representative
of the good average wheelmen, with
perhaps a little more than the ordinary
amount of endurance. He started on
his long journey with confidence that
within seventy-two hours of the time
of leaving he would ride up to General
England and France.
St. Johns, N. F., Aug. 22. The ex
pected stoppage of railways by French
warships has caused great excitement.
It is felt that it is a crucial point,
in which England must make a deter
mined stand again st French aggression
or sacrifice Newfoundland's property,
which chiefly depends upon the de
velopment of internal resources made
available by the completion of the
railway. Premier Whiteway has
started for Bay Islands, where trouble
is expected to arise.
The British gunboat Buzzard leaves
tomorrow to reinforce che flagship
Cleopatra, now near the disputed
coast. Considerable correspondence
is taking place between tne local min
istry and the Salisbury government
relating to the matter. England's
course is watched with anxiety.
They Are Sensitive. '
San Francisco. Aug. 22. Secretary
of War Lamont will probably be called
upon to settle a dispute between the
local members of the American Rail
way Union and the commanding officer
at the Presidio. The ex-strikers take
exception to the incription "Murdered
by strikers" which has been placed on
a monument erected over the graves of
four soldiers who were killed in a rail
way wreck during the great strike a
year ago. General Graham has been
asked to have objectionable inscription
removed, and if he does not do so next
Monday, an appeal will be taken to
the secretary of war.
Offer Not Accepted.
Washington, Aug. 22. The offer of

across the Pacific will not be accepted
by the navy department. The Olympia

nary moderate pace usual to other ves
sels of the navy.

THE COLLAPSE.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Now that the president of the Inter
state Investment Co. and principal
boomer of North Dalles, Wash., is
under arrest for obtaining money
under false pretenses, the citizens of
The Dalles may realize that land
schemes, without resting on a solid
foundation, will do no permanent good
or insure prosperity to any commu
nity. If the same efforts had been
made to advertise this city today we
would have double the population and
have bad several industries as factors
of development in successful opera
tion, beoause . there are natural re
sources in this vicinity as a basis for
future growth and wealth. It might
be mentioned in this regard that Mr.
Taylor would not have had the oppor
tunity to "boom" the sand dunes and
rock piles of Rockland if he did not have
in his possession written endorsements
of some of our prominent citizens,
who by this means made It possible for
him to deceive many in investing their
hard earnings in - this fraudulent
scheme. When corner lots were sell
ing la Grand Dalles at good prices
many considered O. D. Taylor a public
benefactor; but now, when he is under
arrest for a crime, some of these will
severely censure him after they had
upheld him in his very questionable
transactions. Such is-human nature
the world oyer. If a man is successful
in any undertaking, however nefarious
it may be, there are many who will
applaud him; but when the (urn pf the
tide takes place, these persons are
generally the first to give him a push
to add to his momentum down hyi
The New York Tribune "hopes that
the hotels arranging for the delegates
to the Democratic silver conference in
Washington did not lock up the
spoons."
Very likely the two doctors who
were wounded recently In the duel will
recover and again have an opportuity
to try ineir skui in pistol snooting on
each other. Perhaps the next time
they will have better success.
The gold reserve dropped below the
$100,000,000 yesterday for a short time,
and the world still revolved on its axis
the same as ever; but it is time for Mr.
Cleveland or the secretary of the
treasury- to make another issue of
bonds. '
A Democratic exchange says: "Gov
ernment that costs as much ' as $8 a
head is a tax on brains." There are
several "heads" that contain almost
everything except . brains, and if the
latter were taxed the . government
would cost very little.
The more that is known of China,
the more the fact is impressed that the
ruling powers are comparatively as
helpless to defend- themselves against
tne powers within as against a loreign
enemy. The .entire nation seeds a
snaking up.
The hotel horror In Denver -was
caused by a drunken boy, who acted as
engineer. This will be used bv tem
perance lecturers as another "terrible
example;" but the proprietor who em
ployed such incompetent help should
be held primary responsible. .
If the iron trade is a good evidence
of prosperity, there is a promised boom
all along the line. The Iron Age says:
"Those who would hunt for clouds on j
the horizon must go outside pf the
tive point, and this will give our mer
chants to and from the east the same
charges on goods . or produce as those
now enjoyed by sea-coast, cities. Of
course these facilities will cause many
to trade at this point, and will largely
increase the business of our merchants.
These are natural causes for growth,
and when prosperity results it is sub
stantial and permanent.
The duel as it is termed, although
not fought according to the code in
Portland yesterday was a very foolish
affair. If the lady was innocent of
the slanderous words spoken in refer
ence to her she could easily have lived
them down and they would have reacted
against her traducer. But now her
name is in the mouth of every lover of
scandal, and very many will pass an
adverse judgment upon her who have
no means of forming an honest opin
ion regarding her guilt. If Dr.
Ausplund, her friend, had considered
matters in the least, he would have
known that publicity given to such a
report would have been worse for
all concerned. -Suppose Dr. Holmes
had been killed because he did not
sign the written retraction presented
to him it would not have proved his
statements true or false, and would
have given wings to the scandal. Oc
curring as it did in one of the best
known buildings in Portland, near the
noonday hours, in a doctor's office, it
cannot be laid to the charge of saloons
or the liquor habit, and the partici
pants being two prominent physicians
removes it from the lower dregs of the
population.
The Salem Journal has this compli
mentary notice for the secretary of
state: "The people in the country are
right square with you, Mr. Kincaid.
Pay no attention to the calumnies and'
abuse from the old ring politicians
who are only interested in a grab at
the treasury. If you will keep right
on for four years as you have begun
you will make a record the Republican
party need not apologize for." We do
not know where Mr. Kincaid has
saved to the taxpayers any sum
by the way in which he has
managed his office: His stubborn
ness in refusing to draw warrants for
the railroad commissioners, after the
attorney general decided that they
held their offices by the language of
tbe statute which created them until
their successors were elected and qua!
ihed, has cost the people the expense
oi a trial belore tbe supreme court.
and the case of the Weston normal
school will Increase the burdens upon
the taxpayers of the state. If our es
teemed co temporary can show a single
instance where secretary Kincaid has
inaugurated economy in the manage
ment of affairs we should be glad to
see it mentioned and will give him
proper credit therefor.

Senator Brice Wants Harmony.
Springfield, O., Aug. 20. District
and other preliminary meetings of tbe
Democratic state convention were held
here today preparatory to the assem
bling of the convention at 10 tomorrow.
.Senator Brice is making the fight of
his life for a platform in harmony
with the views of President Cleveland.
He is not taking an aggressive part in
the fight over the nomination, but is
interested in the organization so as to
control the committees on credentials
and resolutions. He is believed to
have a majority of 80S delegates, but
the free-silver men claim 304 delegates,
or enough to make trouble if no con
cession is made them. Today Senator
Brice, ex-Governor Campbell and other
leaders dined with John H. Thomas,
and it is understood that a compromise
was outlined. Senator Brice is the
temporary chairman of the convention,
and his speech is sure to be for "hon
est money." Immediately after its
delivery tomorrow, reports from the
committee on credential will be re
ceived. .
