New York, Aug. 20. The big Repub
lican muss meeting to be held in Car
negie Music hall, at which ex-President
Harrison will be the chief orator
Is now attracting the attention of
Chairman Mark Hanuu and the mem
bers of the Republican national com
mittee. They expect good results to fol
low from the published utterances of
the ex-president. .Mr. Manna said to
day that he expected to remain and at
tond the meeting.
His opinion Is that it will be a great
event, and produce a salutary ettect
similar to the Bourke Coekran meet
ing at Madison Square Harden.
The speech that will be delivered by
Mr. Harrison will be sent broadcast
throughout the country ami especially
to the state of Indiana, where there are
about 7.000 floating voters. The people
In Indiana have great faith .In the
soundness of Mr. Harrison's views and
they remember the prosperity they en
joyed during his administration.
Cnauncey Depew's speech as presiding
officer will be short, but full of .political
meat.
Mr. Ilanna arrived at headquarters
at 10 o'clock, and when questioned
about the solid youth he said he hoped
to carry several stutes. He declined to
go into particulars. Mr. N. B. Scott
and Senator S. li. Klklns, who are the
big Republicans In West Virginia, how-
ever. are sanguine that their stale will
go Republican. They carried it last
year and Mr. Klklns was elected sen
ator. The senator does not belong to
the pessimistic school, and he has
more enthusiusm than uny Southern
Republican. Ills .enthusiasm and en
ergy elected him to the senate. When
ever he sees Mr. ilanna he never con
cedes that the Denim-rats can carry
that state, tie knows whut he Is talk
ing about, because he has canvassed
for several years In the state, and
knows even the mountain trails
CHEERINC. WORDS FROM SOl'TH.
Maryland Is also another state that
is doubtful and leaning toward Repub
llcuiilsni. Uenerul Felix Agnus and
the present Republican governor of the
state, Mr. Lowndes, both think that
the McKInlcy ticket will huve a ma
jority of the votes in this once strong
Democratic stale. As to Kentucky, it
is also considered debatable ground,
and the national committee will muke
an effort to assist the Republicans
there in their tight.
General T. Michener of Indiana, Con
gressman R. W. Taylor of Ohio, and
W. D. Babcock. chairman of the Re
publican uutUuial congressional com
mittee, called on Mr. Hunna today at
headquarters. F.x-Cohgressinun Ben
jamin Butterworth, the great Quaker
orator of Ohio, was also a. visitor.
They all lnuke encouraging reports
without the usuul exaggerated general
ities that are given out for publica
tion. Canton, O., Aug. 20. Major McKlnley
worked on the last proof sheet on the
letter of acceptance most of the day.
The letter will contain several thousand
words and will be Very explicit on the
money question, but the tariff will not
In any way be neglected.
Citizens of Kllwood and New Castle,

A delegation of a thousand farmers
from Western Pennsylvania and Mary
land is announced for the middle of

Major McKlnley had a talk this af
ternoon with T. J. Morgan, who was
commissioner of Indian affairs under
the Harrison administration. Mr. Mor
gan is traveling a good deul and asserts
that the Republican prospects are Im
proving. The usual number of telegrams from
various sections of the country, an

POLITICS DESTROY A FIRM.
Don Dickinson Forsaken by His I, aw
Partners.
Detroit. Mich., Aug. 20. The law firm
of Dickinson, Thurber and Stevenson,
which is comprised of Hon, Don M.
Dickinson, Henry T. Thurber, private
secretary of President Cleveland and
Elliott O. Stevenson, late chairman of
the Democratic state central committee,
has disolved on account of political dif
ferences, which liu-ve arisen between
Alesrs. Dickinson and Stevenson since
the Chicago convention.
Thurber will remain with Dickinson.
, In the Chicago convention Mr. Ste
venson posed as the mouthpiece of Mr.
Dickinson, who represented the admin
istration. Stevenson wan chairman of
the Michigan delegation and also chair
man of the state central committee.
He declared he would resign from the
latter position, not on account of the
platform, but because of the treatment
of the Michigan delegation In the con
vention. Mr. Stevenson did resign, but
his resignation was not accepted, which
was considered merely a personal vic
tory rather than one for gold or the
administration. Later Mr. Stevenson
resigned again and made way for Mr.
Baker, a rabid silver advocate, retain
ing a place on the committee, however.
Mr. Stevenson has been taking an act
ive part in the campaign in the inter
est of Bryan and Bewail.
This action on the part of Stevenson
so incensed Mr. Dickinson that the re
lations between the members of the
firm became greatly strained. Ar
ticles of dissolution of the dim were
signed Saturday.
PLATT-MILLER FIGHT.
Tne Factions Hold Separate Conven
tion in Herkimer. n
Herkimer, N. T.. Aug. 20. The Piatt
and Miller factions of the Republican
party held separate conventions here
today and each, nominated a candidate
for congress from the Twenty-fifth dis
trict. The Piatt convention nominat
ed John S. Sherman and the Millerltes
Seth G. Heacock. Both conventions
were characterized by vociferous
cheering and applause on the paft of
the supporters on each side.
There will probably now be a smug
gle before the courts for recognition
and the contest will be carried on with
bitterness till election day.

Louisville. Ky.. Aug. 20. The sound
money Democratic convention held In
Music Hall this afternoon was attended
by really ever" leading Democrat in
the state. Kx-I.leutenant Uovernor
lames It. Hindmnn was elected tempor
ary chairman and then there was a
loud demand for ex-Congresmnn W. C.
P. Breckinridge, who sat on the stage
with his wile. Tlie silver totigued ora
tor came forward and addressed the
convention at considerable length. He
began by saying that he could not stand
the Chicago platform nor support the
nominee. He felt worse when he was
driven inlo the Confederate army, to
maintain his convictions than he
did now when he was driven Into op
position to the regular nominees of his
party.
Bryan, Mr. Breckinridge said, was an
undeveloped and emotional young fel
low. He thought liryun believed ill his
platform and would try to make that
the law of the land. By the help of
(iod he should not have the opportunity.
Speaking for himself alone, he believed
the election of Bryan would be the
greatest calamity that could happen.
The duty of the Democratic party was
to defeat Bryan.
Just as Mr. Breckinridge was bring
ing his speech to u close, some one in
the gallery yelled 'Hurrah for Bryan."
The police escorted the fellow through
the door.
Colonel Breckinridge closed with a
Idea for money good the world over
and tariff for revenue only.

ness, the convention adjoin net! at 4.15

gates at large to Indianapolis. The roll
call showed that 114 out of the lis coun
ties were present in the convention. R.
H. Taylor, of peducah and Judge J.
Vuincy Ward, of Paris, were named as
electors at large.
On motion of Colonel Breckinridge the
delegates to Indianapolis were Instruct
ed to vote for ex-overnor Simon Boli
var Buckner for vice president, as long
us they deemed it advisable.
The report of the committee on resolu
tions was adopted unanimously. Af
ter endorsing the teachings of Jeffer

land, the report demands a currency
measured by the existing gold standard,
which shall consist of gold with a bank
currency well secured.
The Chicago convention is condemned
for its refusal to endorse the adminis

The convention adjourned at U

Suggestions of General Qrosvenor as to

Cincinnati. Aug. 20. Th Cincinnati
Post publishes today special letters
from Senators Sherman, Lodge. Thurs
ton, General C. H. Grosvenor, Con
gressman Burtholdt and others, as to
how the Republicans will fulfill their
party pledges to promote international
bimetallism,
Mr. Sherman writes: "I do not think
It advisable to prophesy for the future,
based upon contingencies that I do not
know will hapiien." Mr. Lodge advo
cates a compact through the regular
forms of diplomatic negotiation. Mr.
Thurston wants a monetary conference
convened.
General Grosvenor proposes that the
president himself upon the very thresh
hold of his administration, should, in
diplomatic, but most earnest language,
suggest to the great nations of the
earth the propriety of such an adjust
ment to the relative valines between
gold and silver as money, and that
congress should pass an act authoriz
ing the president to appoint a commis
sion to draft and submit to the great
tinanclal nations a plan for a bimetal
lic agreement and call upon these na
tions to respond by the appointment of
like commieisons.

Speaking Nations.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 20. The feature
of today's session of the American Bur
association was the address of Lord
Russell, of Killowen. the lord chief Jus
tice of England. As Lord Russell step
ped forward the vast audience broke
into unrestrained applause, which con
tinued fully a minute. Throughout the
delivery of his paper, which was more
of an address than a forensic effort, the
closest attention was given by the nu
dlence. When Lord Russell concluded an In
formal recess was taken, during which
all that could possibly do so crowded
to the platform und clasped his hand.
The thanks of the convention was
presented to him for his luminous and
eloquent address.
In touching upon the subject of ar
bitration Lord Kussel said:
Kxperlence has shown that, over a
large area. International differences
may honorably, practically and use
fully be dealt with by peaceful arbit
rament. There have been since 1K15
some sixty Instances of effective Inter
national arbitration. To thirty-two of
these the I'nlted Slates have been a
party and Great Britain to some twen
ty of them.
There ale many Instances aiso of the
Introduction of arbitration clauses In
to treaties. Here again the I'nlted
States appear in the van. Amongst
the lirst of such treaties If not the
very lirst is the Cuudaloupe-Hldalgo
treaty of IMS between the 1'nited
States and Mexico. Since that (late
many oilier countries have followed
tills examule. In the year 1ST:! Signor
Mandril recommended that, In ull treat
ies to which lialv was a party, such a
clause should be Introduced. Since the
Treaty ot Washington such clauses
have been constantly .Inserted In com
mercial, postal and consular conven
tions. They are to be found also In the
delimitation treaties of Portugal and
Great Britain and with the Congo Free
state made in lsiil. In lx:r. the Belgian
senate. In a single day. approved of
four treaties with similar clauses,
namely, treutles concluded with Den
mark, Greece, Norway am! Sweden.
APPLICATION' OF ARBITRATION'.
It Is hardly too much to say that
arbitration may iilly be applied In the
case of by fur the largest number of
questions which lend to international
differences. Broadly slated, wherever
the right In dispute will be determined
by the ascertainment of the true facts
of the case: and where, the facts being
ascertained, the rights depend on the
application of the proper principles of
lute; national law to the given facts
in such enses. the matter is one which
ought to be arbitrated.
So long as war remains the sole court
wherein to try International quarrels,
the risks of failure are so tremendous,
and, the mere rumor of war so paralys
es comnien lal and industrial life, that
pretensions wholly unfounded will
rarely.be advanced by uny nation, and,
the strenuous efforts of statesmen,
whether immediately concerned or not,
will be directed to prevent war.' But
If there be a standing court of nutlons.
to which nnv power may resort, with
little cost and no risk, the temptation
may be strong to put forward preten
tious and unfounded claims, in support
of which there may readily be found,
in most countries, (can we except even
Great Britain and the I'nlted States?)
busybody Jingoes only too ready to air
their spurious and Inllammutory pa
triotism. In dealing with the subject of arbi
tration 1 have thought It right to sound
a note of caution, but It would, Indeed,
be a reproach to our nineteen centuries
of Christian civilisation. If there were
now no better method for settling In
ternational differences, than the cruel
und debasing methods of war. May we
not hope that the people of these states
and the people of Mother land kindred
peoples may, in this matter, set un
example, of lusting influence, to the
world'.'
TRl'FJ CIVILIZATION.
We boast of our advance and often
look buck witli pitying contempt on
the ways and manners of generations
gone by. Are we ourselves without re
proach? Has our civilization borne the
true marks? Must it not be said, as
has been said of religion itself, that
countless crimes have been committed
In Its name? Probably it was Inevit
able that lhe weaker races should, In
the end, succumb, but have we always
treated them with consideration and
with Justice? Hud not civilization ton
often been presented to them ut the
point of bayonet and the Bible by the
hand of the filibuster? Ami apart from
races we deem barbarous, is not the
pasison for dominion and wealth and
power accountable for the worst chap
ters of cruelty and opnresslon written
In the World's history? Few peoples
perhaps none are free from this re
proach. What Indeed Is true civiliza
tion? By its fruit you shall know It.
It Is not dominion, wealth, material
luxury: nay, not even a great litera
ture and education wide spread good
though these things be. Civilization is
not a veneer: it must penetrate to the
very heart and core of societies of men.
Its true signs are thought for the
poor and suffering, chivalrous regard
and respect for woman, the frank rec
ognition of human brotherhood, irre
spective of race or color or nation or
religion, the love of ordered freedom,
abhorrence of what is mean and cruel
and vile, ceaseless devotion to the
claims of Justice. Civilization In that,
its true. Its highest sense, must make
for peace. We have solid grounds for
faith In the future. Government is be
coming more and more, but in no nar
row class sense, government of the
people by the people and for the people.
Populations are no longer moved and
manoeuvred as the arbitrary will or
restless ambition or caprice of kings or
potentates may dictate. And although
democracy Is subject to violent gusts
of pasison and prejudice, they are
gusts only. The abiding sentiment of
the masses is for peace for peace to
live industrious lives and to be at rest
with nil mankind. With the prophet of
old they feel though the feeling may
find no articulate utterance "how
beautiful upon the mountains are the
feet of him that bringeth good tidings,
that publisheth peace."
Mr. President. I began by speaking
of the two great divisions American
and British of that English speaking
world which you and I represent today.
and with one more reference to them I
end.
Who can doubt the Influence they
possess for ensuring the healthy pro
gress and the peace of mankind? But
if this influence is to be fully felt, they
must work together in cordial friend
ship, each people in its own sphere of
action. If they have great power, they
have ulso great responsibility. No
cause they espouse can fail: no cause
they oppose can triumph. The future
is. in large part, theirs. They have the
making of history in the times that are
to come. The greatest calamity that
could befall would be strife which
should divide them.
Let us pray that this shall never be.
Let us pray that they, always self
respecting, each in honor upholding
Its own flag, safeguarding Us own her
itage of right and respecting the rights
of others, each In its own way fulfill
ing its high national destiny, shall yet
work In harmony for the progress and
the peace of the world.

LATEST DILEMMA
Pressed by Friends and Followers to
Declare Himself for Bryaa.
HIS DOWNFALL IS PREDICTED
The New York Statesman Hemmed in
by Ditliciilties He Cannot Overcome.
Would Like to Hedge ou the Cur.
rency QucstiouA Cumpaigu on
Fnith.
New York, Aug. 20. At the headquar
ters of the silverites at the Bartholdi
hotel they have little hope that Senu
tor Gorman will convert Senator David
B. Hill to the Popocratlc faith. Sena
tor Gorman Is spending his vacation at
Saratoga, which Is within an hour's
ride by train from Albany, where Sen
ator Hill lives. The senator has left
Normandle-by-the-Sea, and is conven
iently near Mr. Gorman ut Wolfert's
Ri iost.
Four yelirs ngo Senator Hill was a
snapper. His partisans held early In
February a so-called "snap convention"
at Albany, which selected seventy-two
delegates to the Chicago convention to
nominute Hill for president. Then he
was live months ahead or time, now he
is a couple of months behind time, ac
cording to the Bryanltes. He Is con
demned on one side for not taking de
cisive action for sound currency, and
on the other hand he Is accused of back
sliding anil cowardice for not taking
a bold stand In behalf of Bryan and free
silver. His position Is a most unpleas
ant one in either case, and his enemies
enjoy his predicament. They can see
the hnndwriting ou the wall which fore
tells the passing of Hill from the politi
cal arena as a leader of men. They
think that Mr. Hill will be a living Illus
tration of the old axiom that "he who
hesitates Is lost."
But Mr. 11111 wavered, is wavering and
Is likely to keep on wobbling in this
enmpaign. Ho thinks it Is cruel to press
the Issue. Mr. Bryan ought to he satis
fied with nn endorsement without men
tioning the platform. For Is not an In
dorsement of a candidate paramount to
the acceptance of the platform upon
whic h he stands?
WANTS TO HKDGE.
It Is cruel and humiliating to make a
man declare himself when he wants to
hedge. Here, a grave and dignified.
United Staes senator is asked to become
a lightning-change artist of the comic
stage variety, who conies out before the
public costumed in the rpleridor and
glory of gold In one minute, and hab
ited In the garb of shiny sliver the next.
These pesky politicians have long
memories, and they draw the deadly
parallel on a poor fellow at the most
unexpected times. In a case of this
kind there Is only one thing for a man
to do, and that Is to wait, see and hope.
And Senator Hill Is industriously en
guged In dedng this. Senator Gorman
and his colleagues will undoubtedly
have a very pleasant chat, and the
one will go back to the sad ea waves
by Normandle and the other will take
to the waters of Saratoga. Then they
will tell an expectant public: "Walt
until the convention meets. We have
nothing to say."
If you want an Illustration of what
sublime faitli Is, go to the Bartholdi
headquarter. Their treasury is empty
there, and you think that an empty
pocket would discourage the average
man. But not so Mr. "Sinjitn." He says
money is no object In this campaign.
When the free silver millennium comes
the people will have So much money
that they don't want any now. They
are going to vote for Bryan and live
on expectations meanwhile. But Mr.
Sinjun does not explain how expecta
tion is going to buy a hungry mun a
meal. The faith cure Is a new Idea in
politics.
FARMERS TURN WHITE CAPS.

Clarksvllle, Ark., Aug. 110. Johnston
county farmers In the vicinity of La
