WATTERSON AND VILAS LEAD
In the Contest For Nomination as the Pres
idential Candidate, While Buckner and
Herbert Are Mentioned For the
Second Place on the Ticket.
IxniAXAroLia, Aim. ill. On Vcdnosclny
tho gold Domoernts are to ussomblo horo
to repudiate tho notion of tho Democracy
nt Chicago and launch n now party In tho
troubled sen of politics, but ns ypt Indian-
(ipolU displays but fow of tho outward
tuunlfostutlonsnf nn approaching national
convention, lho hotel corridors, which
usually swarm and seathowlth politicians
and guests on the ovo of a nntloiml con
vention, nro barren and deserted. A few
of tho managers aro on tho ground and tho
advanco guard of tho nowspnper mon Is
already hero, but! tho dolegutes have not
yet begun to put In an appearance In tho
nature of things, however, this would bo
tho enso, as thoro Is no division ns to tho
purposo of tho convention and no scram
bio after tho nominations. Tho malingers
express thomsolvos as inoro than satisfied
with tho enthusiasm which they shy has
been dovelopod In tho country, nnd they
expect delegations from forty-two states
nnd torrltorlcs to bo present.
YV hon tho movomont was originally
started there seemed to bo a division of
sentiment as to whether n ticket should bo
plncod In the field. Tho Chlcngo ticket
and platform thoy regarded as Democratic
heresy, and their primary object was to
accomplish tho defeat of Hryan and Sowall.
Tho triumph of their old time political ad
versaries would bo their triumph, Inas
much ns It would glvo them, In tho event
of Bryan's defeat, an opportunity to rcor-
gnnlzo tho party on what thoy regarded as
Its true lines. As tho mnvometit grow
howover, and obtained what was consld
cred nt least as tho tacit approval of tho
administration, tho feeling that n ticket
should bo plncod In tho field for tho gold
Democrats to rally around grew stronger,
nnd It Is accepted ns n foregono conclusion
tho stnndnrd bearers will bo named.
Tho coming convention has no parallel
in tho political history of tho United States,
unless It bo In tho nomination of O'Con
nor, of Now York, by tho Democrats who
in 1872 refused to follow tho Democrats
Into tho liberal Republican movement
which nominated Greely. It differs, how-
ever, from that In that tho issue presented
Is considered a vital ono, nnd una upon
which both sldos believe tho future wo
fnro of tho country depends.
Tho managers, therefore, purpose to lay
tho foundation hero for tho reorganization
of tho party in tho future Thoy have
practically decided upon tho adoption ns
thoireinblom for tho ballots the head of
Jefferson, nnd thoy expect to frnme a
platform whicn besides repudiating tho
Chicago platform nnd nominees will
clearly enunciate nnd reiterate Democratic
doctrines as sot forth in former platforms.
The prevailing sentiment favors n par
ticularly strong plank in favor of a tariff
for revenue only.
Quito n number of states havo Instructed
Wisconsin for IJragg, Nebraska and
Michigan for Vilas, Missouri for lirond
head, and others for favorlto sons, but tho
gossip horo so far scorns largely confined
to Senator Vilas and Henry Watterson.
Tho latter, from his far off sojourn In
Switzerland, has cabled his willingness to
accept nnd mako tho fight if named.
Senator Vilns somehow is regnrded ns
tho administration's cnndldnto, and It Is
snld that General Dragg, for whom tho
Wisconsin delegation Is instructed, would
willingly step out of tho way. What war
rant there is for tho assertion that Vllns is
tho administration's candldato doos not
nppenrhero. Ho has announced his in
tention of retiring from tho senato at tho
ond of his present term, nnd could, It is
said, nfford to mako the saerlflco from a
personal standpoint.
It is conceded on all hands that If Mr.
Cloveland would accopt tho nomination It
would bo tondored him unanimously.
Mr. Dynura snld today that ho would un
questionably bo tho strongest man; that
his popularity ovon among tho silver Dem
ocrats was very great, but that Mr. Cleve
land had given no word, Although it Is
generally understood that tho prosldont is
in full sympathy with tho convention and
Its purposos, nothing has yot boon rccolvcd
from him Tho arrival of Secrotnry Mor
ton, who will probably bo tho only mem
ber of his olllcial futility hero, and of
Comptroller Eckels Is therefore looked for
ward to anxiously. It is not regarded as
improbable that somo sort of utterance
will como from tho president before tho
convention meets or while It is in session.
Should Vilas or almost any ono exoept
Watterson bo nominated for president It
Is thought that Simon Uollvnr Huckner,
of Kentucky, will bo nominated for vice
president on the theory that tils nomina
tion would greatly strengthen tho gold
Domocrats In Kentucky. Hols very pop
ular, and it Is thought tho nomination
will count for much In tho blue grass stato,
where tho gold Democrats aro very active.
Tho 11111110 of Secretary Herbert Is also
bqing mentioned In connection with sec
ond placo on tho ticket. This Is said to bo
tho result of Mr. Herbert's announcement
of his opposition to the Chicago ticket and
to tils olTorts In Alabama to overcome tho
silver sentiment. Tho secretary Is at
present In Kuropo.
"How many states will tho ticket nomi
nated horo enrryf" was a quostlon put to
Mr. lJynum toduy by thoAssoclntod I'ress
reporter.
"Four," ropllod Mr. Iiynum, "Florida,
Alabama, Texas and Kentucky."
"How about Loulsianaf"
"Louisiana," ho replied, "wilt go for
McKlnloy."
Ex-Governor Flowor, of Now York, has
telegraphed his acceptance of tho post of
temporary chuirman, and It Is practically
decided that Senntor Cnffrey, of Louisi
ana, will bo permanent chairman of ttio
conveutloii.

ACCIDENT ON THE KAIL.
John DeinpKcy Killed mi the Lehigh Val
ley Ititllroad.
Another rnilroud accident is recorded, tills
time Harry Junction lieing the sceno nnd
John Deinpsey tho victim. Engineer Jonas
Ilretz and Conductor Klutz left Delano early
Sunday morning with nu extra freight train
composed of refrigerator cars containing
beef. They dropped four of tlio cars nt
Mahanoy City and the otherouo they brought
to this town. On tho return trip, at about
ono o'clock in the morning, when near tho
signal tower at Harry Junction, the engineer
discovered n man lying on the track, with
his neck resting upon tho rail. Tho engine
was quickly reversed and air brakes applied,
but too lato to save tho man's life.
After tho cnglno camo to a standstill, a
search was made, and tho body of Deinpsey
was found near the track. His head was
sovcrcd from tho body, horribly mangled
and covered with blood. Tho remains were
placed on the train and removed from tho
scene, and later to tho victim's home.
Deinpsey was 2-1 years of nee, and son of
John Deinpsey, of ltarry Junction. Tho
young man's strango position upon tho track,
nt tho hour stated, is unaccounted for, and
his untimely death has brought much sorrow
to his parents.

Killer's New Opera House.
Tho formal opening of Kaier's new opera
house will take place to-morrow evening,
when Geul. J. It. Gordon will deliver Ids
great lecture on "Tho Last Days of tho Con
fedemcy." This is not tho well-known
orator's first appearance before a Schuylkill
county audience, having lectured before tho
Teachers' county instltuto last year. Thoso
who heard him speak highly of his abilities
The music is to be furnished by the combined
Jones and Schoppo orchestras and this alono
will bo well worth tho prico of admission.
Workmen aro engaged night and day prepar-
ing the opera house for tho opening. It has
excellent stago facilities, and the seating
capacity is adequate for tho needs of that
town. It is a pleasure to commend thocllbrts
of Mr. Kaier in giving tho theatre-got rs of
Mahanoy City such a temple of amusement,
and ho will be well repaid by increased
attendance. This fact will no doubt attract
many from here during tho season.
