DEMOCRATS
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION AT CHICAGO.
Senator Dan:l of Virginia Elected Temporary
Chairman. Senator Hill of New York,
Recommended by the National Committee,
but the Report w? not Adopted. Senator
White Permanent Chairman. A Free oil
ver Platform Adopted.
The Democratic National Convert
tion at Chicago was called to order
on Tuesday Tulv 7. at one o'clock n.
ru. by W. F. Harrity, chairman of
the National Committee. After prayer
by Kev. t. Al. Mires of Orace Episco
pal Church, the report of the com
mittee on temporary organization was
announced bv the chairman. This
included Senator D. B. Hill of New
York, as temporary chairman. Clay
ton of Alabama, nominated Senator
Daniel of Virginia for the position.
Then followed a number of speeches
bv the friends of the two candidates.
Daniel was the choice of the silver
men, and Hill of the gold men. A
vote was taken by states, and Daniel
T"crivi 556 votes, and Hill -349, and
ti e ti ri'i; r ,v is dtxurcd elected. On
being escorted to the chair Senator Dan
iel expressed profound gratitude for the
honor conferred upon him and express
ed his regret that his name should
nave Deen Drought in even the most
courteous competition with his most
distinguished friend. Senator Hill
would readily recognize the fact, how
ever, that there was no i.ersonalitv in
the matter. It was solelv due to the
principle which the great majority of
democrats stoou tor, tie (Mr. Daniel)
standing with them. As the majority
01 tne convention was not personal in
its aims, neither was it sectional. It
began with the sunrise in Maine, and
spreaa into a sunburst in Louisiana
ana 1 exas. it stretched in unbroken
lines across from Virginia and Georgia
to California. It swept like a prairie
fire over Iowa and Kansas and it
lighted up the horizon in Nebraska.
Mr. Daniel continued: "Tin nnt
forget that in the last national con
vention of 1 89 j you proclaimed your
selves to De in tavor ot both gold and
silver as the standard money of the
country and for the coinage of both
C'd and silver without discrimination
against either metal or charge for
m mage, ana that the only question
left open was the ratio between the
metals.
"Do not forget that just four years
ago, in that same convention, the
New York delegation stood here solid
and immovable for a candidate com
mitted to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the rat'o of
sixteen to one 1 ana that if we are for
it still it is in some measure from your
teachings. That we owe you much
is readily and gratefully acknowl
edged, but are not our debts mutual
and not one sided to each other ?
"Bring us, we pray you, no more
makeshifts and straddles. Vex the
coontry with no more prophesies of
smooth things to come from the
British Republican gold propaganda.
We maintain that this great nation,
w.th a natural base (as Gladstone
faid) ot the greatest continuous e.n
pire ever established by man, with
far more territory and more produc
tive energy than Great Britain, France
and Germany combined, without de
pendence upon Europe for anything
tliat it produces and with Europe de
pendent upon us for much that we
produce, is fully capable of restoring
its constitutional money system of
gold and silver at an equality with
each other, and as our fathers in 1776
declared our national independence,
so now has the party founded by
Thomas Jefferson, the father of that
declaration, met here to declare our
financial independence of all other
nations and to invoke all true Ameri
ca is to assert it by their votes and to
place their country where it ought to
belong as the freest and foremost
nat'on of the earth."
Tlicre are a number of delegates in
the Pennsylvania delegation who are
b' "J to be for free silver. They are
the following : John S. Rilling, Erie;
John T. Lenahan, Luzerne, delegates-ai-iarge;
Frank B. Rhoades, Sixth
district 1 Howard Mutchler and Frank
P. Sliarkey, Eighth district 1 W. Oscar
Miller, Richard M. Reilly, Joseph
O B: luti, Eleventh district j John M.
Garnnui, Twelfth district ; William A.
Marr, Thirteenth district 1 Tosenh A.
Gray and Amcricus Enfield, Twenti
eth district j W. A. McCullough and
JohnB. Kennan, Twenty-first district;
frank. J hompson and A. F. Silvens.
Twenty-fourth district; Robert R'tchie
Twenty-fifth district; William II.
Gaskill, Twenty-sixth district; Charles
O. Layman, Twenty-seventh district 5
James K. P. Hall and Matt Savage,
Twenty-eighth district. Ot these
Savage, Keenan, McCullough, Gar-
man, Miller, Gaskill and Silvens are
outspoken, and the rest have express
ed themselves in such a manner as to
indicate that they are for silver.
Under the unit rule the whole dele
gation voted for Hill.
At 4.4? p. m. the convention ad
journed until 10 o'clock on Wednes
day. 1 he convention was called to order
on Wednesday morning at " 10:45.
Senator White of California was elect
ed permanent chairman, and a plat
form was adopted. The following is
the money plank ;
Recognizing that the money ques
tion is paramount to all others al
this time, we invite attention to the
fact that the federal constitution
names silver and gold together as the
money metals of the United States,
and that the first coinage law passed
by congress under the constitution
made the silver dollar the monetary
unit and admitted gold to free coin
age at a ratio based upon the silver
dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873,
monetizing silver without the knowl
edge or approval of the American
people, has resulted in the apprecia
tion of gold and a corresponding fall
in the price of commodities produced
by the people; a heavy increase in
the burden of taxation and of all
debts, public and private ; the en
richment of the money lending class
at home and abroad; paralysis of ir
dustry and impoverishment of the
people.
We a-e unalterably opposed to
monometallism which has locked fast
the prosperity jf an industrious peo
ple in the paralysis of hard times
Gold monometallism is a British
policy, and its adoption has brought
other nations into financial servitude
to London. It is not only un-American
but anti-Ameiican, and it can be
fastened upon the United States only
by the stifling of that indomitable
spirit and love of liberty which pro
claimed our political independence in
1776 and won it in the war of the
revolution.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the pres
ent legal ratio of sixteen to one, with
out waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation. We demand that
the standard silver dollar shall be a
full legal tender, equally with cold,
for all debts, public and private, and
we tavor such legislation as will pre
vent the demonetization of any kind
ot legal tender money by private con
tract. Up to the hour of coiner to press.
two o'clock, no nomination has been
made.- Whether it will be Bland or
Boies, or McLean, or Stevenson, or
somebody else, cannot be predicted.

SUITS I
FROM S18.00.I
A Hot Bath Will Bring Sleep.
Suppose a person be tired out by
overwork of any kind, to feel nervous,
irritable and worn, to be absolutely
certain that bed means only tossing
for hours in an unhappy wakefulness.
We all know this condition of the body
and mind. Turn on the hot water in
the bathroom " and soak in the hot
bath until the drowsy feeling comes,
which will be within three minutes 1
rub yourself briskly with a coarse
Turkish towel until the body is per
fectly dry, and then go to bed. You
will sleep the sleep ot the just, and
rise in the morning wondering how
you could have felt so badly the night
before. The bath has saved many a
one from a sleepless night, if not from
a severe headache the next day.

ARE YOU GOING
TO BE IN IT?
We mean in a new dress made
from new wash fabrics. The makers
are over stocked they lay it all to a
backward season. Capes, new, cool
summer fabrics are now being sold
at one-half early season's prices.
Ii its the consumer just right. You'd
wonder at these prices if not explain

and come while a good thing lasts.

WANAMAKER CLOTHING
Somewhere between $100,006 and
$125,000 Summer Clothing selling at a
clear loss of one-fourth all round
just as if we'd never have another
summer to sell clothes.
We shan't be believed until you see the goods.
Not a half-dozen times in all our years that we
sold without getting even somehow. Can't this
time; aren't trying: we're losing on black suits,
gray suits, thin clothes every sort except ThibeU
and serge.
We sell Thibets at $5 and they cost it.
We sell Serges at $7.50 to $18 : if we asked
$10 to $25, we'd please the stores and waste our
advertising.
The rest of the stock like this :
Black worsted and crepe, $30 suits for $13.50.)
Black worsted fine diagonal, $20 suits for $10. '
Coat and vest (fine as-in $30 suits) for $10.
Homespuns have been $12 for $7.50.
Boys' clothes same way,$3 suits for $2.25: $10
for $6.75.
Same sort of clothes we always sell : better made
this year, perhaps no, certainly; everything the
same except this plunge in prices.
Explanations don't explain : the times are bad ;
the clothes are good; the prices are broken broken
on all our summer clothes : doesn't happen in ten
years.
Harris cassimeres included. The best and the
worst of them from our great clearing-out-Harris-mill-buy
go down like all the rest $15 suit meant
to sell for $12 now $8.50.
Nobody else in the business doing anything like
we are. We think we're sharp to lose the money
while we can sell the goods. What summer
clothes do you want ?
Pay your carfare, too on a reasonable purchase.
