OLD DEMOCRACY IS COHG
Silver Has About Wiped Out the
Tarty iu Louisiana.
roimmxs ake swamped
Tlio Now Orgnniiation Will Probably
Label Itself Deitiocritcy, but tlio
Leaders and Hank und I'llo Will
All lie for Ire 0 Silver.
New Orleans, Juno 14. Louisiana
pull lie were never In a more complicated
condition than they are today, and It
looks us If It would never be possible
to Ret the Democracy together attain
In harmony. At the last state election
the party spilt Into two bitterly hostile
factions, nnd there were two full Dem
ocratic state and local tickets In the
Held. The old bitterness of the anti
lottery and lottery Demoorutlc still sur
vive. Then there are the sonar bolt
and the desertion of nearly the entire
sugar-planting Interest to the Bopub
llcans, the opposition to the governor
and state administration, and the oppo
sition to Cleveland und his policy,
which Is very strong again; there Is the
Ballot Kefurm league, a very powerful
organization, which has entered the
field In the last few weeks to get rid of
the present corrupt election laws of
the state, and has announced Its pur
pose to pay no attention to party lines,
but to support any party or faction
which will vote for honest elections.
With one-third of the white vote of the
state gone over to the Populists nnd
another considerable fraction lost to
the Itepubllcans on the sugar ques
tion, the Democratic outlook Is not
promising, and the Introduction of the
silver question Into local politics, the
politicians say, will cattle still further
division and render defeat certain.
Nearly the entire political element In
the state was opposed to bringing out
the silver Issue Just now. All the fed
eral otllclals, of course, were opp.ieed to
It, as they had been warned that any
leaning on their part toward silver
would mean their discharge.
Of the representatives, Meyer and
Price are against free silver, Buck and
Kobertson doubting, but refusing to
give In to a call for a silver conven
tion. Hoatner is an International bl
mt talfet. and therefore opposed to the
prevailing pllver sentiment of bin
state, leaving Ogden the only member
from Louisiana In favor of a conven
tion to consider the free coinage ques
tion and force It Into state politics.
No Hacking from Politicians.
It will be seen, therefore, that the
movement here had very little back
ing from the politl?lans, who, indeed,
feared the lssue and tried to crowd
It down. When, however, a call was
made for a silver convention to meet
In New Orleans on June 10, It aroused
a popular sen'timent 'that was alto
gether ur.3Xpee'ed. Everywhere in the
country parishes the silver meetings
were large nnd enthusiastic. The con
vention which assembled In New Or
leans was on? of the largest ever as
sembled In ths state, and one of the
moft representative and Influential.
Only a few days Intervened between
the call and 'the convention, but these
few days saw the silver boom obtain
such proportions that the politicians all
made for It.
There had already been a very strong
silver sentiment In New Orleans among
the commercial and middle classed.
These acquisitions leave no doubt as to
the fact that a majority of the voters
In New Orleans are for free coinage,
and It Is generally recognized that the
politicians would not have come over
had they not thought that the silver
movement would win.
The country polltlcans have also
joined the movement and many who
have hitherto maintained a neutral or
conservative position declared for free
silver.
The convention Itself was a hurrah
affair. It listened to speeches, adopted
resolutions, elected 250 delegates to the
bimetallic convention In Memphis; but
the chief work was the organization Of
a bimetallic league and the appoint
ment of an executive committee. This
committee contains very few politi
cians. Its president, Ashton Phelps, Is
a retired cotton merchant, although a
young man, well to do, thoroughly In
dependent In politics, and with no po
litical ambitions. The committee has
got promptly to work and Issued an ad
dress to the people of the state, and has
gone to work to organize systematically
the silver sentiment of Louisiana.
Now Party and Wntfnrtn.
This hnfl caused a sensation, and al
ready there are cries that the move
ment means a new party based on a sil
ver platform. The address of the ex
ecutive committee appeals to all the
white voters of Itulslana to Join the
ranks of 'those who are contending for
the rem motivation and the free coin
age of silver, and 'the league exists
to win back the 30,000 white voters who
have gone over 'to Populism. It has
taken up the cry of ballot reform, nnd
Its two principal planks will be honest
elections and the free coinage of sliver.
It propels 'thfl't '.hese and nit other
questions, as well as the nominations of
candidates, shnll be submitted to a
primary of the white voters of Loulsl
anna, and that all white voters shall
be permitted to participate In the elec
tions, whether Republicans, Populists,
or Democrats.
In many respects the organization
will be a new party composed of the
white voters of the state, without re
gard to their previous polltcar affilia
tions, provided only . they believe In
white supremacy, honest elections, and
free silver. It may claim the name of
Democracy on the ground that It em
braces a majority of the white Dem
ocrats of the state and that a majority
of the Democrats approve the views of
the executive committee and will sup
port them. Borne of the men who have
embarked In the movement arc a little
afraid of names and that they may be
accused of deserting the Democracy,
and It Is, threfore, probable that the
name Democrat may be preserved.
The silver people are asserting that,
instead of the new movement weaken
ing the Democracy of Louisiana, it will
strengthen It, bringing back to its
ranks some 30,000 voters who left It for
the People's party. It proposes to make
free silver a fundamental Issue in state
politics until the question la definitely
settled.
MOT AT A BALL GAME.
A Thousand Toughs at llaatloton Indulgo
in a I'roo right.
Hazleton, Pa., June 10. While two
amateur base bull clubs were plnylng
ball here today a riot broke out among
the spectators. There were upwards
of a thousand people present and every
body seemed to take a band in the
melee.

struggling rioters and the police had to
bo culled out to quell the disturbance.
Many persons were badly Injured.

1IK.II KirKElM AT RUTGERS.
Professional IWillet (iirls from Now York
shock tlio Audience at u New llrunswick
College Show.
New llrunswick, June 10. The sopho
more class of Bulgers coJlcge cremated
Analytics Friday night with great
pomp und entliuxlas.ii. About 1,000
persons paid "." cents each for seats on
the grand stands which hud been
erected on the vacant lots on Somer
set street, where the exercises were
held.
The cremation began at 11.30 o'clock.
A band played dirges, while the stud
ents danced ubout In the grotesque cos
tumes of gnomes and devils. A stuffed
figure, with a face made up to repre
sent a professor who has made the
tasks of the students particularly hard,
was thrown Into the tire, und then
there vvus a song of Joy.
The main feature of Inst evening's
performance was an oriental dance be
fore the great high dignitary of the
fete, LI Hung Chang. The Chinese
statesman was supposed to be trying
his general. Analytlcus, for (causing
China's continued defeats. Analytlcus
was found guilty nnd was condemned
to die at the stake for treachery. Then
the entertainment of the emperor was
begun with a procession of Amazons,
represented by sophomores In gauze
shirts and flesh-colored tights. After
thu Amazons had danced with great
nial the premelr dancers were an
nounced. The calcium light man put on all the
power of his apparatus, and soon
shapely limbs In fleshings were seen
shooting skyward with surprising agil
ity. The old men began to get deeply
Interested and the young men, si'Ulng
beside their best girls, were uneasy.
The duncera were not students but
women, and 'they were giving an open
air can-ran.
"ftoorge," said one New Brunswick
girl who had reddened to the roots of
her hair as the dancers shifted from a
rather Innocent skirt dance to the wild
acrobatic contortion known as the
split, "they are not men at all, but
Women, la It not terrible? Let's go
home." And they were the first couple
to leave the grandstand.
There were several clergymen and
hundreds of church members on the
grandstand, and the display was alto
gether 'too generous to suit them. The
giddy dance went on, however, and the
calcium light man could not be bribed
to fihut off the Illumination. Many
heads ot families took their parties
home to avoid Booing the worst of the
high kicking.
Yesterday the sophomore class com
mittee itrled its best to give the im
pression that the dancers were not wo
men, but the musicians betrayed the
secret by telling how thty had re
hearsed with three New York ballot
dancers In the afternoon In the assem
bly room.

ALLISON BOOM STARTED.
His Friends Will Insist I'pon Recognition
ot Next Convention.
Chicago, June 10. A special to a
morning paper from Mason City, la.,
says:
The candidacy of Senator W. P. Al
lison for president will be formally
launched at the national convention of
Republican league clubs at Cleveland.
In previous years Allison's candidacy
has been regarded, even at home, as
more of an expression o respect from
an admiring constituency than a real
desire to see him elevated to this exalt
ed position. This year the Republicans
of the state will not be satislied with
anything short of seeing him placed at
the head of the ticket. Some of the
prominent leaders have even gone bo
far as to name for his running mate
Unbent T. Lincoln. The bert political
workers the state affords will be pres
ent at the Cleveland convention for
Allison. Heading the delegation is J.
S. Clarkson.

CLASPED HANDS 18 HOURS.
A Christian Scientist Gives a Kcmarkuhlc
Inhibition of Will l'owcr-YVus tho
Young Man Hypnotized ?
Warwick, Mass., Juno 10. Paul
Goldshury, nged 25 years, a member
of the Moody quartette which sang at
Chicago during the World's fair, and
Mrs. Welsman, the wife of a Chicago
physician, had a remarkable struggle
for supremacy of will power last Fri
day. Both have been. spen'ding their
vacation with friends in this village.
Mrs. Welsmian is a Christian Scient
ist, while Goldsbury, though a Christian,
does not believe In Christian science.
Mrs. Welsman challenged Goldsbury to
a test and he accepted. They were to
clasp hands and the one that yielded
last was to be the victor.
Hands were clasped and the clasp
was not broken for eighteen hours and
then only by force. This Is vouched
for by iM. F. Sandon, village postmas
ter. Friends at first thought the contest
a bit of 'pleasantry, but as the hours
wore on and neither would yield, re
monstrances followed. Signs of men
tal disturbance came after a night of
hand clasping, and friends who had
watched them meanwhile, constantly
entreated them to desist. In the
morning sharp words were spoken by
friends, and In consequence Goldsbury
and Mrs. Welsner went to the village
commons, all the time clasping hands.
There the friends determined that the
couple should be parted by force if
necessary, and Postmaster Sandson
and William Shepardson told Mrs.
Welsner and Goldsbury that force
would be employed unless the contest
was ntopped.
They declined to pnelasp hands and
then Sandson took Ooldsbury by the
arm and pulled him from the com
mons to the street, but tho clusp was
unbroken. By main force the ;vo men
then parted the contestants.
In order to subdue Goldsbury, It was
necessary to take him to his summer
home and tie him. He is still under the
care of a nurse.
'Mrs. Welsner showed little effects of
the long struggle, but the affair caused
so much comment that last Saturday
she went home to Chicago. The claim
Is made that she hypnotized Goldsbury.
