deutinl Candidate n.
Peoria, 111., June 21. In a commodious
wooden structure on Hamilton avenue,
which was dedicated to political pur
poses by Major McKlnley on the occa
sion of his visit here during the memor
able congressional campaign of 1M2, the
representatives of the Democracy of
the 1'ralrle state assembled today t"
select a state ticket and to name the
delegates who will represent it at the na
tional convention In Chicago thre
weeks hence. Fully B.50 people were
gathered In the building and a couple
of thousand more were unable to gain
admission.
At 12.15 Secretary of State W. H. Hln
rlchsen. by virtue of his position as
chairman of the state central commit
tee, called the convention to order and
Introduced as temporary chairman
Alexander Hamilton Bell, of Carllnville.
He was given a hearty reception and
spoke at length.
In the course of his speech he predict
ed that the national Democratic con
vention at Chicago would declare for
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Great
Issues, he said, are beore the people.
Though our gold and silver mines should
make us rich and keep us so, yet
through folly or crime we have de
stroyed the value of one-half of our
wealth of precious metals by statute.
Though the great money kings of the
east grow rapidly richer the common
people are becoming gradually poorer.
Our farmers produce great crops with
out profit. Our workmen find employ
ment at wages which cannot supply the
wants of their wives and children and
millions of our men have no opportunity
to even earn a dollar.
DEMOCRACY'S OPPORTUNITY.
Continuing h said these questions
must bo solved through the Democratic
party because the Republican party Is
dominated by the northeastern states
and through that domination the Re
publican party has Impoverished the
west to enrich the east. The east, he
said, has never controlled the Democra
tic party. Pour years ago, he continu
ed, we nominated a man for the presi
dency from the state of New York.
May God forgive us for It, Since then
we have been beaten as with a score of
scorpions. In concluding Mr. Bell said:
We are told by some of our friends that
we must have harmony In the party and
that for harmony's sake we must com
promise, we must straddle. There will
be no straddle in this campaign, he said.
We cannot compromise, we cannot dal
ly. The national convention will de
clare for 16 to 1 bimetallism. The great
agricultural states of the west and
south are to be arrayed against the
bondholdlng manufacturing east. When
the temporary chairman asked who
should lead the people out of bondage,
there were great shouts of'Bolee" fol
lowed by cries of "Bland." Somebody
yelled "Teller" 'and therewaa ft babel
of cheers, foot stamping and cries of
"No." Hut the greatest demonstration
came when the speaker proceeded to
express the hope that God would forgive
them for heir share In the last elec
tion of Grover Cleveland. A hurricane
of cheers came from every part of the
great hall and It was three time re
newed.
"SAY IT AGAIN."
When It subsided there were yells of
"Say It over again," "Hit him again,"
"Tell the reporters to put that down,"
followed by another round of applause.
Altogether the demonstration of an
tagonism to the president lasted for
Beveral moments. At a later part of the
address, when reference was made to
Governor Altgeld, there was an enthusi
astic burst of applause, a portion of the
audience rising and waving hats and
canes. While the call of districts for
members of the committee was In prog
ress the convention got Into terrible
disorder as a result of outsiders crowd
ing a hundred or more of the delegates
from their seats. A. S. Trude, of Chi
cago, vigorously demanded that the
chair exercise his authority by causing
the expulsion of the Interlopers, but
without result, and a number of the
delegates, falling to get their seats, left
the piace In disgust.
More uproar and confusion resulted
on a motion that the convention remain
In continuous session until all its busi
ness was completed. Half a dozen
heated speeches were made on either
side, with the result that the convention
at 1.30 p. m. took a recess until 3 p. m.
Owing to the Inability of Temporary
Chairman Bell to hold the convention
in control at the morning session, the
committee on permanent organization
threw over the programme to make the
temporary organization permanent, and
selected Charles K. Ladd, of Henry
county, as permanent chairman.
When the convention re-assembled
Hon. Charles K. Ladd, who was pre
sented as permanent chairman, mad a
fierce speech.
Ex-Congressman L. E. Worthlngton,
of Peoria, declared that the eastern gold
bugs are responsible for forty cent
wheat and ten dollar horses, but there
Is a sentiment brewing In the west that
will paralyze them.
ALTQELD'S SPEECH.,
Governor Altgeld then made his ap
pearance on the platform and was given
a tremendous ovation. Oh .being pre
sented he spoke at length.
"Pour years ago," the governor began,
"our people met under brighter skies.
The country was tired of that govern
mental policy which made the few
mighty, and the many poor. We prom
ised Democratic government In national
affairs and a buriness administration
In state affairs. The people took us at
our word. But before the Inaugural
festivities had ceased at Washington,
the head of the administration sought
strange gods and espoused alien prin
ciples. The Interests of money were
placed above those of humanity, or
ganized greed was fed with golden
spoons, while the cry of the husband
: vcr tvrt.e--C.-d ?.ld " " -: -
toller brought him no bread. Then
came defeat to the Democratic party. '
"But," the governor asserted, " the
people are beginning to gain new cour
age. First one and then another repu
diated the golden calf which "The Sons
.if Mammon" had set up In the cast, and
which all men had been ordered to bow
to on penalty of social and political
death." He said that If all men who
thought alike on the great questions of
the day should stand together the hire
lings of plutocracy would be routed.
The bimetallic system was destroyed
by corrupt outside Influence and Wall
street has repeatedly shown Its ability
to shape legislation at Washington. The
men who make vast fortunes out of ex
isting conditions will do all they can to
prevent a change. The men who about
a year ago made about ten millions of
dollars out of the government In a small
bond transaction carried out through a
secret contract with the president and
secretary of the treasury, will do all in
their power to prevent a change In pol
icy. These man will try to capture the
Chicago convention and falling in that,
will move Heaven and earth to control
ike new adminlstiation in cuse we sue
ce.d." Ti e speaker characterized the late
,'U'publlcun convention as the most bra
zen eiiort on the part of organized
greed ever attempted to control the
destinies of the country. It adopted a
platfwrm, he asserted, In the Interests
of Kugland, Its principles stand for
paralysis, poverty and distress, and It
put in nomination for president a man
who will only be a servant to carry out
the mandates of his managers.
Nominations for state oRlcers were
reached at 6 o'clock. Governor Altgeld
was renominated by acclamation, amid
scenes of wild enthusiasm.
The rest of the ticket nominated fol
lows: Lieutenant governor.Monroe C. Craw
ford; secretary of state. Finis C. Down
ing; auditor of state, W. F. Beck; state
treasurer, Edward C. Pace; attorney
general, George A.'Trude.
The following were named as dele
gates at large to the national conven
tion: Governor Altgeld. W. H. Hen
richsen, ex-Congressman George W.
Flthian and Judge Samuel P. McCon-
nell.
BIMETALLISM REJECTED.
The Wisconsin Democrats Adopt the
tiold Stuudurd by a Large Vote
Milwaukee, Wis., June 23. The Bijou
Opera house was crowded to the doors
this morning, when the Democratic
state convention was called to order
and Thomas F. Frawley, of Eau Claire,
temporary chairman, made his speech.
Mr. Frawley characterized the Re
publican party as the foster mother of
trusts and the handmaid of extrava
gance, and charged that party with the
looting of the treasury by extravagance
and corruption In Its billion dollar con
gress. ,
In his further remarks he said the
Democracy of Wisconsin shall not and
Will not permit any repudiation of the
nation's obligations, either In the way
of debased currency or change of the
existing standard. The Democratic
party, he said, believes and Insists that
without an International agreement
this country cannot maintain the parity
of gold and silver at a ratio of 16 to 1.
Atter the convention had taken a re
cess the free silver men to the number
of about sixty, held a caucus. It was
resolved to make a fight for two of the
delegates-at-large, and to prevent, If
possible, an outright declaration ot the
gold standard in the platform.
When the convention reassembled, two
reports from the committee on resolu
tions were presented. The'Tnajority re
port is as follows:
We, The Democrats of Wisconsin, In
state convention assembled, indorse the
wise and patriotic administration Of Pri
ldent Cleveland. We commend the course
In congress of our able senators, Will
lab F. Vilas and John L. Mitchell, in their
faithful adherence to tno principles of the
Democrats of Wisconsin.
We believe that a tariff for revenue
only would extend American commerce to
the uttermost parts of the earth and un
trammelled Industry would advance our
country to the foremost place among na
tions. ,
We are therefore firm In our adherence
to the doctrine enunciated by the lust
natlonul Democratic convention that tills
government should impose ne tariff taxes
except for revenue.
We bellevo that the demands of a com
merce built upon the broad and enlight
ened doctrine of free trade requires a cur
rency that cannot be discredited in any
civilized country. Realizing this logical
demand for the best money for Interna,
tlonal trade; realizing also the dangers
of a flat currency in domestic use, and
aware that the present condition of com
mercial distress calls for the patriotic
and sturdy maintenance of national honor
and financial Integrity, we declare our
selves opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and In favor of gold,
the highest monetary standard ot the
world.
We hereby direct the delegates from
Wisconsin to the natlonffl Democratic
convention, to be held in Chicago July 7
next, to vote as a unit on all "subjects
and candidates when and as a majority of
the delegation may direct.
The minority report was as follows:
The committee on resolutions by the un
dersigned minority begs leave to report as
follows:
Resolved, That we reaffirm the plat
form of th last national Democratic con.
ventlon and particularly upon the subject
of coinage, believing that a air interpre
tation of th same favors free, unlimited
coinage of both sliver and gold as legal
tenders money ot the country.
Loud cries for Vilas filled the air and
a perfect pendemontum of applause
greeted the suggestion. The senator
took the platform In response to the
cheers which continued for some mo
ments and made a stirring appeal for
the gold standard.
Speeches followed by Delegate .Dock
ery, of Ashland, for silver; Louis 3.
Bohmrlch, of Kenosha, for a straddle in
the financial question and General
Bragg for gold. The minority report
was then rejected 217 to 129 and the
majority report unanimously passed.
The delegates-at-large selected are
Senator William F. Vilas. General Ed
ward S. Bragg, James G. Flanders, of
Milwaukee; James J. Hogan of La
Crosse,

Pittsburg, June 23. A story of re
markable in tt rest concerning crime
committed In a foreign capital Is told
In a letter from London printed in the
News. .It concerns the arrest of Cour-
tols, the chief of the Belgian police, at
Brussels, on the charge of being the
ringleader of a gang of criminals who
appear to be responsible for every rob
bery and murder of any Importance that
has taken place In the dominions of
King Leopold during the last ten years.
Chief of Police Courtols Is a man of
herculean stature and strength, bearing
a striking resemblance to ex-Inspector
Williams, of New York city, and enjoy
ing a reputation similar to the latter for
the use of fist and club In dealing with
disturbers of the peace. Indeed there
are no end of stories current at Brussels
concerning the vigor with which he
acted whenever called upon to suppress
any popular outbreak. It was these
very tales concerning the feats of
strength which he displayed In dealing
with criminals, and especially with the
leaders of mobs, that served for so long
to divert suspicion from himself, and he
might have escaped discovery alto
gether had he not been guilty of a gross
piece of Injustice and brutality toward
a subordinate who swore to get even
with him.
SUSPICION AROUSED.
Several little things had occurred to
raise doubts in the mind of this officer
as to the integrity of his chief when the
shocking murder of the Baroness Ilerry,
a wealthy octogenarian who resided In
one of the suburbs of the Helgtun capi
tal, occurred a few weeks ago and
spread terror and consternation on ev
ery side. The baroness was so promi
nent a personage In society, so con
spicuous a figure of the Belgian aristoc
racy, that her tragic death and the
burglary of her residence monopolized
for a time public attention and Interest,
all the more as It appeared Impossible
to obtain any clew to the identity of
the perpetrators of the crime, At
length, after the lapse of about a fort
night, half a dozen railroad bonds that
had belonged to the murdered baroness
were found In the possession of a broker
at Brussels, who. In response to In
quiries, declared that he had purchased
them from a tall, good looking man
who had given the name of Reval.
The police searched In every direction
for men answering the description giv
en by the broker, and had given up the
job in despair, when suddenly the offi
cer above mentioned got It Into his head
that the description answered that of
Courtols. Accordingly he secured a
photograph of the latter and showed it
to the broker. It was a portrait In
which the chief appeared surrounded
by a group of Inspectors, and the very
moment that the broker set eyes upon
it he unhesitatingly declared that the
vender of the stolen bonds and chief of
Police Courtols were one and the same
person. Notwithstanding the fact that
this declaration on the part of the
broker was put Into the form of an affi
davit, the authorities at first manifest
ed the utmost reluctance to subject the
chief to the Indignity of an arrest, and
It was only when further Investigation
brought evidence that the murder of old
Baroness Herry was not the only crime
In which he had been Implicated that
they proceeded to do their duty and
place him under lock and key.
AN ADEPT IN CRIME.
As soon as his capture had been af
fected and seizure been made of his
papers and correspondence, which
showed him to have long been a ring
leader In crime, denunciations com
menced to pour in upon the ministry of
the interior, and the people, who had un
til then been terrorized into silence,
commenced to relate what they knew
about him. Seeing that there was no
possibility of any escape for him, Cour
tols, like so many of his kind, com
menced to reveal the names of his prin
cipal confederates and associates with
such satisfactory results that before
ten days had elapsed no less than four
teen of the band were In the hands of the
authorities. By playing them off one
against another the magistrates In
trusted with the task of Investigating
the case brought to light he fact that
it was Courtols and his gang that had
murdered the rich English woman and
her two children whose bodies were
found floating in a canal on the morning
following the arrival In Brussels six
months ago and had likewise perpe
trated the two successive robberies of
of plate and Jewels from the palace of
the Count of Flanders, who Is the broth
er of King Leopold. It seems that
Courtols, who was the husband of one
of the attendants of the Countess of
Flanders, knew all about the arrange
ments and organizations of this royal
establishment, especially as regards the
strong boxes where the jewels and the
plate were kept, actually kept watch
while the robberies were In progress
so as to prevent the burglars from being
disturbed while engaged in their ne
farious task.
WILL NOT BE TRIED.
Yet In spite of these and a number of
other crimes that are now laid at the
door of Courtols there are but few
people who believe that he will ever be
brought to Justice, although there is no
doubt but what hiB confederates will be
condemned to heavy sentences of penal
servitude, capital punishment being to
all ' Intents and purposes abolished in
Belgium.
This Immunity, which the people regard
as certain to be conceded to him. Is at
tributable not so much to his wealth,
which, thanks to his robberies, Is very
great, nor yet to the obligations under
which he has placed prominent political
and official personages .Indiscreet
enough to place themselves 'within his
....... ... ....vrt n .
but Is due mainly to the part. which he
played in hushing up the terrible scan
dal in connection with the violent death
of Prince Baldwm, heir presumptive to
the throne. The latter perished a few
years ago much in the same mysterious
and terrible manner as his cousin,
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, a
lady being, of course. Involved In the
case. For reasons which are obvious
the royal family of -Belgium has always
been qjilte anxious to maintain un-ralsc-d
the veil of secrecy which con-
coals this ghastly skeleton of a royal
closet. Now Courtols knows everything
about the mystery of the Avenue
Louise. It Is, therefore, extremely Im
probable that he will ever be brought to
trial. This arch criminal, this perpe
trator of many murders and countless
burglaries, w ill either be quietly assist
ed Into eternity unsentenced or else will
be Immured for the remainder of his
uays in a lunatic asylum.
SHATTERED IN TEXAS.
The Ucinnrncy nt Sea on Currency In
the I, line Star State.
Austin, Texas, June 23. The state
sound money Democratic convention
and the regular Democratic convention
met here this forenoon. The first met
In the opera house with about 400 dele
gates present and the latter on conven
tion hall with about 100 in attendance.
The sound money men met at 11 o'clock
and organized by electing ex-Congress
man E. L. Antony chairman. George
Clark addressed the convention strong
ly advocating sound money and advis
ing that the free silver wing be utterly
Ignored. It was determined to elect
delegates to the Chicago convention and
after the appointment of committees on
platform and resolutions the conven
tion adjourned until afternoon. The
delegates to Chicago will go as an ad
visory delegation to act with the sound
money delegations from other states In
the Interest of sound finance and what
they conceive to be true Democratic
principles. The regular Democratic
convention organized by electing Hon.
W. L. Ramsey, a free silver man, chair
man, and after apiiointlng committees
also adjourned until afternoon. The
convention will send to Chicago a solid
silver delegation which will possibly be
instructed for Bland
The regular convention tonight at 11
o'clock adopted a platform declaring for
free silver coinage "without waiting the
action of any other nation." A minor
ity report by the sound money wing was
voted down by over two-thirds major
ity. WHITNEY CHALLENGED.
Wharton Barker Claims That His
Statements nre Misleading.
New York, June 23. Wharton Barker
has written a reply to the statement of
Hon. W. C. Whitney, which was pub
lished on Monday morning.
Mr. Barker claims that "Mr. Whit
ney's statements are so misleading and
fallacious that they really should not go
unchallenged. It Is fortunate that he
represents so few of the members of the
Democratic party who entertain the be;
lief to which he gives expression. His
appeal will be of no avail. Cleveland
could' not stem the tide with all
the power of office at his command;
Whitney cannot do It, even though
backed by the combined wealth of king
land."
SARATOGA CONVENTION.
William C. Whitney About the Only
Feature of Importance.
Saratoga, N. Y., June 23. All of the
prominent Democratic leaders of the
Empire state and minor leaders by the
score are here In readiness for tomor
row's convention, at which delegates at
large to the Chicago convention will be
chosen and district delegates named.
The presence of Mr. Whitney and the
sound money plank to be adopted are
almost the only features of Importance,
The opposition to the gold standard Is
so slight that Mr. Whitney's presence
was not need to assure a financial
plank which would be acceptable to
the business men of the state.
Gentry Trial Postponed.
Philadelphia, June 23.-The trial of
James B. Gentry, the actor, for the mur
der of Margaret W. Drysdale, which was
begun yesterday before Judge Yorkes in
the court of Oyer and Terminer, was not
resumed today owing to the absence of
Charles W. Brooke, of New York, the sen
ior counsel for the defendant. After a
consultation with the district attorney
Judge lerkes ordered a continuance un
til tomorrow.

CONGRATULATIONS FROM MR. QUAY
B
iff Demonstration Arranged for
Saturday .It Is Believed That
the National Headquarters Will Be
Located in New York City.
Canton, Ohio, June 23. Vtee-Presl-
dentlal Candidate Hobart has been in
vited by Major McKlnley to visit Can
ton on Saturday next. The day will be
the occasion of a great demonstration
In honor of the nomination of Major
McKlnley.
In the mall this morning was received
a long letter from Senator Quay, written
from Beaver relating to the campaign In
general and expressed his sympathy
for the Major In the long and arduous
task that lay before him. He most
Blncerely congratulated the nominee
upon his success.
He says: "I did not push congratula
tions over the wire from St Louis, for
you are not, I think, to be felicitated
upon the annoying campaign ahead, nor
upon the severe trials which must suc
ceed your election, I do, however, con
gratulate you upon the splendid vote
of confidence you received from the con
vention, which represents the absolute
thought of the Republican party of the
nation."
TRAGEDIAN'S CALL.
A call from Thomas W. Kean, the
tragedian, and Charles B. Hanford, his
manager, was the principal event of the
afternoon at Major McKlnley's. They
spent half an hour together, the major
declaring it to be a delightful change
from the routine of visits by men who
wanted to and did talk politics all the
time they were with him.
Private Secretary Boyle, who re
turned from St. Louis last night, went
to work this morning upon the mail and
telegrams which had accumulated since
the nomination, and with a force of as
sistants expects to get replies to more
than 6,000 senders within the week.
Then, after the formal notification next
Monday, work of the compalgn will be
gin In earnest The Repository, which
Is popularly esteemed to be Major Mc
Klnley's organ, this evening has the fol
lowing paragraph, regarding the head
quarters of the national committee,
which may be significant:
"While the question of the location of
the national headquarters has been un
der discussion and Cleveland has made
a strong effort to secure them for the
Forest City, the impression does not
exist here that the custom of years past
will be changed and it is believed that
the Republican national campaign will
be directed by Chairman Hanna from
New York as usual." '
Invitations have been extended to
Senators Sherman and Foraker, Gov
ernor Bushnell and Congressman C. H
Grosvenor to visit Canton next Satur
day and participate In the ratification
meeting arranged for that day. Mr.
Grosvenor has slgnfied his acceptance
of the Invitation.
FISHERMAN MISSING.
Possibly Attending to Affairs of State
While Afloat on the Potomac.
Washington, June 23. Nothing has
been heard here from or about Presi
dent Cleveland and his fishing compan
ions since they left Washington on the
lighthouse tender Violet, Sunday night
Private Secretary Thurber said he did
not know where the president was, but
presumed that he was anchored some
where down the Potomac, It is sug
gested that the party found the Poto
mac too muddy for river fishing and
either proceeded down the Chesapeake
bay or tried some of the Potomac tri
butaries for bass.
There is another theory suggester by
the presence of Mr. Carlisle on board,
this being the first time he has accom
panled the president on one of these ex
curslons without the company of the
other cabinet officers that the president
and secretary of the treasury hay have
sought the seclusion which the Potomac
grants to prepare some additional finan
