Fifteen hundred delegates, comprising democrats, Republicans nnd l'opultsts, but With "honest money" ns tho slogan of nil, filled the lower floor nnil n large portion of the balconies nt the Auditorium when tho gathering wns culled to order. A permanent organization wns oftccted With Senator Turple, ut Indiana, as chalr man, and addresses were delivered by lliat gentleman and Alex. Helmnr. ol Callloruin, In the alternoon, nnd by Congressman Sibley, Of l'enneylvanla; V. S. Tbnuias, of Denver, and Anrun Wnlcott, ol Indiana, Id the cveu lug. Politically, the most significant Incident of the II rut day's proceeding was the clear and emphatic, statement of Senator Harris, ol Tennessee, who was the controlling spirit In the management of the convention. At the evenlug session, which began promptly at 8 o'clock, Senator William M. Stewart ol Nevada presided nnd Introduced Congressman Joseph C Sibley of l'ennsyl yanio, Mr. Slhley wns greeted with thunders of applause, and In a two hours' speech arous ed bis audience to a high pitch ol enthusiasm. He made an earnest appeal for independent political action In lH'.H) nnd occupied a good deal of time Illustrating the necessity of breaking away from the old pnrtles. His auditors were evidently with tiliu, for every attack npon Secretary Carlisle, the 1 resi dent or Senator Sherman was greeted with a noisy demonstration, nnd every time he ask ed the crowd If they would remain with their old parties nnd continue the domina tion of the Kngllsh money power he wns greeted with a chorus ol "Noes." He paid bis respects to the president and to Secretary Carlisle In very plain Inngunge, calling them "traitors" for tuelr part In the conspiracy to demonetize silver and fasten upon the country hardships of a gold stand ard. All such outburst! as this were greeted with tumultuous applause. Mr. Sibley expounded the four politienl ax ioms which, be said, contnlned the result ol bis study of the money question, they were: First, double tbe volume of mouey and you double prices; second, divide the volume ol money and you divide prices; third, double the volume of money and you divide tbe debtsi fourtb, divide the volume ol money and you double the debts. At the conclusion of Mr. Sibley's speech there were persistent calls for Mr. Hryan of Nebraska, but that gentleman evidently de sired a more favorable opportunity and more time In which to deliver his views upon the silver question, for be declined to respond. Mr. Charles H. Thomas of llenver. occunie.1 5h; remainder of the time of tbe evening ses- lin. PhS orator of the second day was Senator Stewart. It was an attack on the Itotbs chllds as the money power of tbe world, whom be abarged with creating the panic of 1893. He said tbey bad robbed the United States of fold to convert the silver debt of Austria Into gold obligations, and had made 4O8.LO0,000 on tbe deal. Gladstone and Cleveland, be described as tbe willing agents of "the gold trust," tbe one suspending free coinage In India, and tbe other repealing the purchasing eiause of the Sherman act. Congressman Allen spoke after Mr. Stew art, and at tho afternoon sessslon Senator Jones, of Arkansas presented the report ol the eommlttee on resolutions, which was un animously adopted. Tbey assert that the recent depression was due to a conspiracy by which silver was demonetized, and that tbe effect of the gold standard is to establish one standard for the creditor and another for tbe debtor. No just law establishes one measure of value for the borrower and one for the lender. Tbe restoration of sliver as a money metal on an equality with gold, at a ration of IB to 1, is demanded. It is also de clared that while Internatlanal agreement Is desirable, the United States should not wait upon this agreement, nor surrender the sovereign right to regulate Its financial af fairs In the Interest of its people. As expected, the resolutions contain noth ing more than a strong presentation of the free silver sentiment of tbe gathering. After tbe adoption of tbe platform Senntnt Jones of Arkansas was culled for and made a brief speech. He was followed by Gov. Prince of New Mexico and Senator Tillman ol South Carolina. Tbe Intter was listened to with tbe closest attention. He ridiculed the "sound money" convention of last mouth, saying tbnt it did not represent the Sauth, as it did not include a single farmer. He char acterised the gold dollar as a iiOO-oent dol lar, which the creditor class of the east wot intent on maintaining. WILL BE NATIONAL. Gospel Wagons to Invade Every City in the Land.

Ths mystery of the dynamite outrage on the Wllkesbarre mountain. Pa., last Octobor. In which n Hungarlnn shanty wns blown up by dynamite, tour people killed nnd a score badly wounded, seems about to be cleared. Detective O Hrien, of the Lehigh Valley Hail road, assisted by Thomas (Jiiigly aud Frank McCaun, of Oliver's Mills, bave run down the gang. The fiends are all colored people who worked on the mountain, and two of them are women.

Two acces sories to the crime are George Jordan and John Hlrd, of Preston. The man who admitted that he had fired the dynamite is Frank Shafer. Shafer was led to conless by a colored detective In tbo employ of Detective (' Hrien. He was takeu to Mr. O'Hrleu's office where be told the fol lowing story: They were nil working nt Hlnekville siding, nbout a half mile from tbo place which was blown up, between l'alrview and Oliver's Mills. On the Snturdny before the catastro phe, Nelson Miller made the proposition to blow up the sbauty nnd get the Hungarian's money. Miller said be had stolen a battery, some wires nnd dynamite near Vatesville about a mouth before, nud he was ready for the Job. The next day Nelaou and Jim Mil ler, Frnnk Sbaier and the two women dressed as meu, walked up to the shanty. The women helped watch, while Nelson and Jim Miller llxed the wires and dynamite and Shnfer worked tbe battery.

The supreme court of Illinois filed Its opinion in tbe case of tbe people vs. the Distilling and Cuttle Feeding Company. The Judgment of ouster entered by tbe lower court Is ' affirmed. Tbe effect of tbis decision will be to break up tbe Whisky trust. lu the course of tbe opinion the court says: "No oue who intelligently considers the scheme of this trust, as detailed iu the In formation, can for a moment doubt that It was designed to be aud was in fact a combi natiou iu restraint of trade, aud that is was orgauized for the purpose of getting uontrol of tbe manufacture unit sale of all distil lery products so as to stifle competition and to be able to dictate tbe amount manufactur ed and tbe prices at which the same should be sold, and that Its effect is lo create, or teud to create a virtual monopoly in tbe man ufacture in tbe sale of products of that char actor. "No rotloual purpose for such an organi zation can be sbowu consistent with an In tention to allow tbe business to run In lis normal cbaunols, to give competition. Its legitimate operation, and to allow both pro duction an.rtirlces to be controlled by the natural iullueuce of supply and demand, and the results as shown by tbe Information were such as might be auliulpated. The trust ob talned possesion of nearly all tbe distilleries and nearly all the distillery products of the United Slates, thus enabling it to dictate prices aud toe amount ol pioduotlonaud thus to draw itself substautii 11 tbe control of the distillery business of tbe country."
