CnicAuo, July 1'!.—As the band* of the clock
feinted at 11 o'clock Chairman White called
the democratic national convention to order
There were only about 6.000 people in the hall.
More than half of the gold delegates were ab-
sent. Contrary to the usual custom, the pro-
ceedings were not opened with prayer A few
routine announcements were made before the
names of the vice presidential candidates were
presented. Chairman Harrity, ot the national
eommittee. announced the lust meeting of the
old national committee and W. Finley, of Ohio,
moved the ratification of the delegations.
Nominations for the vice presidency were
then called for. after a motion offered by Sena-
tor J one*, of Arkansas, had been adopted lim-
iting the nominating speeches to five minutes
each.
J. T. O'Sulllvan, of Massachusetts, who had
often attracted the eye of the convention by his
outbreak* of enthusiasm, walke 1 to the plat-
form to place in nomination (Jeorge Fred Wil-
liams, of the same state. He referred to the
sullen delegation from New York and urged the
convention to prove that it had turned down
New York's leader—referring to Hill—not be-
cause he came from the east, but because he
was for gold. He told how Williams had
fought the corporations in Massachusetts and
therefore "had been antagonized, the speaker
mi id, • b\r Henry Whitney, a Standard Oil mag-
nate and brother of the Whitney who sat silent
yonder, pointing to the New York Standard
oilman. O'Sulllvan urged the convention to
choose a man from the Atlantic coast, that
east and west might Join hands on the ticket,
and ended: "We do not want a man with a bar-
rel to inaugurate this peaceful revolution."
C ries of "Water, water, were shouted in
chorus when Mr. Maiston.« f Louisiana, the
I lanter who had so often appeared before the
convention, came to the front. He was in his
usual humorous mood and said: "1 assure
you. gentlemen, that I have not tasted a drop
of water to-day." He wanted to place in nom-
ination John K. McLean, of Ohio, and he said
that he did so on his own authority. He as-
sured the convention that, although his state
delegation had repudiated him (Marston) the
day before, he represented the people of
Louisiana, and in conclusion he paid a well
worded tribute to the Cincinnati editor.
Delegate Malone.v, of Washington, without
making a nomination speech named James
Hamilton, of Washington.
J. C. Curry, of North Carolina, congratulated
the convention upon the fact that it had been
subjected to a baptism of patriotism, and upon
the fact that the banner of silver in the states
had not been trailed in the dust. Not a stand-
ard. he Maid, had been lowered or placed in
jeopardy. There were cries of Name your
candidate" from several parts of the hall. He
concluded by placing in nomination "the man
honored by all the people, that just judge and
high minded democrat. Judge Walter Clark,
ot the supreme court of North Carolina " The
North Carolina state delegation gave great ap-
plause.
Ex-Congressman Tom L. Johnson, the free
trade, millionaire of Cleveland, appeared next
and there was a cordial demonstration which
was repeated when Congressman Richardson,
of Tennessee, in introducing him. referred to
their services in the house together and to the
fact that Mr. Johnson, though a steel rail
manufacturer, advocated placing rails on the
free list.
Mr. Johnson nominated ex-Congressman
Georg<- W. Fithian. of Illinois. He had seen
service in the cause, MiT Johnson said. and had
proved true. He .was not wealthy, but the
i auM- was one of the common people and a rich
man was not desirable. It was the cause of
humanity. If the tight was to be money against
men. money woi^ be all on one side. I do
not believe in free silver, he said, "but I be-
lieve that this movement is a great movement
in the interest of humanity and therefore 1 am
with you.
W. A Miller, of Oregon, presented the name
of ex-Clov. Pennover, of Oregon. as one who
could secure for the ticket the united vote of
toe laboring men.
William A Burke, of California, named the
veteran democrat. Arthur Sewull, of Maine,
and O. s. Thomas, of Colorado, seconded it.
J. 1). Showalter. of Missouri, told the con-
vention that it should go to the east to select
"the statesman most profound and orator in-
deed" who carried the banner of the masses
and who in a republican district had been sent
to congress by an overwhelming majority.
This man was Joseph Sibley. < f Pennsylvania.
<iov. Culberson, of Texas, mounted a chair to
tell the convention tint when the name of that
state was called Texas would cast he r vote for
Richard P. Bland.
The democracy pirted the cloud and behold
there is a silver lining, was a metaphor with
which O W. Powers. < f Utah, caught the at-
tention of the assembly. The democracy had
been born when (Jod said "Let there be light."
Democracy pointed to the doorway of prosper-
ity. he continued, and invited the people
to enter into the old halcyon days
when gold aud silver were the twin
metals of the world. He dwelt in eloquent
sentences upon the valor, the statesmanship,
the chivalry of a man concerning whose iden-
tity he kept the convention in suspense. He
said that his candidate was from the south, and
went on: "You say the south is not ready for
recc gnition. but 1 say to you she has risen from
her ashes, and is leading the country in this
great fight. Without his request, without his
knowledge, without the knowledge of his state.
1 present the name of Hon. John W. Daniel, of
Virginia This caused much cheering, but a
moment later Mr. Jor.es. of Virginia, said that
Mr Daniel could not be considered.
Mr. Morris, of Illinois, seconded the nomina-
tion of Sibley, an 1 then Mr. Sloane, of Ohio,
withdrew the name of Mr McLean and Mr.
Fithian. of Illinois, withdrew in'favor of Sib-
lev John Scott, of Maine, closed the spccch-
making by seconding the nomination of Sewall.
The roll call of the states on the vice presi-
dential nomination was then made and the offi-
cial announcement of the vote was: Harrity,
21: Teller, 1: White. 1: Pattison. -: Williams
of Massachusetts, 7fi: McLean, 111; Clarke, 50:

excursion train was telescoped by a
fast freight on the Chicago *t North-
western railroad. In all parts of the
city is mourning for the victims from
all sections of the town. The injured
and dead were brought back here yes-
terday morning in two coaches, a bug-
gage car and a Pullman, all of which
were crowded. The baggage car was
crowded with cots on which were the
more seriously injured, attended by
the physicians and close relatives.
Only a part of the bodies were identi-
fied during the half hour that they lay
at the depot, and then they were all
taken to undertaking establishments
to be prepared for burial. Some of the
identifications were not positive, and
in several cases one bystander would
claim to be certain that he saw the
body of one man while another would
be equally positive that he was mis-
taken.
The responsibility for the accident
rests on Engineer Montgomery of the
excursion train. His orders were to
wait at Logan for the fast mail and
the fast freight. He started his train
out immediately after the mail passed,
forgetting about the freight The
head end collision occurred 20 minutes
later on a curve. The heavy freight
passed partially over the passenger
train. All the people killed were in
in the front coach of the excursion.
William Shaffer, the agent of the
Northwestern at Logan, saw the ex-
cursion train pulling out, but supposed
ut first that the movement was for the
purpose of hurrying up tardy members :
of the party and that t he Vrain would 1
stop before it left the siding and wait i
for the passing of the fast freight. He
was horrified to notice that instead of I
slacking up at the switch end the |
train was rapidly taking on more i
speed, lie rushed down the platform i
and asked an employe if the special | Addremen Made
and must be kept good fore
Our trouble I* not with the character of the
money that we have, but with the threat to de-
base It. We have the same currency that we
had in IK92—good the world over and unques-
tioned by any people. Then, too. we had
unexampled credit and prosperity Our
difficulty is to get that money in cir-
culation and invested in productive en-
terprises which furnish employment to Amer-
ican labor. This is impossible with the dis-
trust that hangs over the country at the pres-
ent time', and ever/ effort to make our dollars,
or any e tie of them, worth less than 10) cents
each only serves to Increase that distrust.
What w t want is a sound pollcv. financial and
industrial, which will give courage fend confi-
dence to all. for, when that is done, the money
ii"W unemployed because of fear for the future
aii 1 lack of confidence in investment, will
quickly appear in the channels °f trade.
(Gentlemen, the employment of our Idle
money the idle money that we already have
in gainful pursuits will put e very Idle man in
the country at work and when there is work
there Is wages, and when there- are work and
wages there are consumers who constitute the
best market for the products of our country
Having destroyed business and confidence
by a free trade policy, It Is now proposed to
make things still worse by entering upon an
era of depreciated currency. Not content with
the inauguration of the ruinous policy which
has brought down the wage* of the laborer
and the price of farm products. Its ad-
vocates now offer a new policy which
will diminish the value of the money in
which wages and products are paid. Against
both of these we stand opposed. Our creed
embraces an honest dollar, an untarnished na-
tional dollar, adequate revenues for uses of the
government, protection to labor and industry,
preservation of th" home market and reciproc-
ity which will extend our foreign markets.
I'pon this platform we stand and submit its
declarations to the sober and considerate judg-
ment of the American people.

March 19. 18 0, in Salem. 111. At the age of 1
he went to the Whipple academy in Jackson-
ville. 111., which is the preparatory department
tf the Illinois college located at the same
place. He spent two years in the academy and
four years in the college, taking a classical
course. He then went to the Union College of

Secretary
Olney, it is said, has recently sent in-
structions to the American minister at
Lima which amount in effect to a de-
mand for the prompt payment of the
claim. McCord's action grows out of
his arrest and imprisonment by the
Peruvian authorities while he was
acting superintendent of the
A re qui pa & Cuzco railroad
1885. There was a revolution in prog-
ress at the time. Through the perlidy
of an engineer of a train conveying
troops on the road of which McCord
had charge, it was delivered into the
hands of the revolutionists and Mc-
Cord was immediately imprisoned and
word sent to liiin to arrange his affairs,
as an order had been issued to shoot
him within an hour. He was marched
out to the parade grounds before a file
of soldiers armed with rifles and asked
if he wished to say anything before
being shot He was, however, saved
by friends and transferred to another
, ,, , , ,... , prison. He was released after several

I Common Condition A
Women
\\ omen especially house keepers, are
ubject to a condition of body very
fitly expressed as ' chronic tired." It
is not always because they are over-
worked, or because they have any dis-
tinct disease, nor yet because they do
not take proper care of themselves;
but doubtless each one of these causes
contributes to the result. Some
chronic difficulty peculiar to their sex,
perhaps not very bad, but just enough
to produce a continual nerve waste.
This unfits them for the duties cf the
household which they must attend to.
loo tireel to cat well, too nerveous to
sleep well, they get deeper and deeper
into the quagmire of discouragement.
Pe ru-tiu is the remedy all such peo-
ple need. It takes only a few doses to
convince any woman that she has
found exactly the remedy. It soothes
the nerves while it strengthens them;
it increases the appetite while it im-
pro7es digestion; it gives tone and
elasticity to the circulation. Dis-
courgements vanish, despondency
ceases. Thousands are saying; 'Te-
rn na has made a new woman of me."
It is only necessary to take l'e-ru na
exactly as directed on the bottle.
Such women may have a copy of Dr.

Washington, July 15.— Should free
silver triumph in the November elec-
tion there is a strong probability that
sound money states will make an
effort to protect their own credit byj
special legislation. A well known
New York financier, in nn article on
this subject to-day, said;
While the constitution of the United States
dec arcs that no state 'shall make anything
but gilland silver con a lender in payment
ef debts, it does not prohll It any state from,
making gold coin exclusively a legal tender.
11 the n fore-, the Novc mber election should re-
sult in the success of the silverite nominee for
president and in the election of a silverite ma-
jority in the house of representatlves.lt will

are opposed to the silver slaivdurd to adupt
such legislative measures ns will secure to
them in contracts bet ween themse Ives the su-
premacy of gold. Kven without suc h legisla-
tion and without the aid of the courts, the
mercantile and financial community have the
power and would dcuLtlesc exercise it, to
s:dopt gold coin as the « xclusive medium of
transiu tions between themselves. The banks

Nfw Yoiik, July l.v —The democratic
gold standard leaders have not vet de-
cided on the date and place of the con-
ference at which it is expected a mani-
festo will le issued defining their at-
titude towards the national ticket
nominated at I hicago. William C.
Whitney is still at his country home
on Long Island and Senator Hill is
at Albany, where he publicly declared
that he would not preside, as reported,
at the democratic notification meeting
to be held here. One of the Tammany
leaders said that the conference would
probably be held at Long llranch to-
morrow and that it would be attended
by democratic leaders from New York
and several other states. Another
Tammanyite said the understanding
was that the New York leaders would
first confer, and then invite the gold
men of other states to a general con-
ference. According to a statement
made by a friend of Mr. Whitney, the
conference of New York leaders is
likely to result in a decision to ignore
the national ticket as far as possible
and to call on the gold standard demo-
crats to help elect congressmen op-
posed to free silver coinage and to join
iu an effort to carry New York for the
democratic state ticket lly refusing
to bolt and put up n third ticket, it is
said the state organization oan main-

Harrity returned from Chicago to-day
and was at his desk in the ofliee of the
Kquitable Trust Co., of which he is
president. He was not disposed to ex-
press himself regarding the democratic
platform or candidates. He did, how-
ever, make the following statement:
Since my return to Philadelphia my attention
has been failed to a report sent out from Chi-
cago during the- convention week to the effect
that 1 had declared that I am a democrat and
after that I am a sound money man There
is no foundation whatever for such a state-

Cincinnati. July 15. — President M. H
Ingalls, of the "Hig Four'' and Chesa-
peake fc Ohio railways, returned from
the east yesterday and said: "Much
as I regret it, I shall support McKinley.
I believe in his elcctie>n lies the only
hope of the future of this country."
Mr. Ingalls is one of the leading demo-
crats of the state. He drew up the
state platform at the democratic state
convention last year when Senator
Krice was chairman <>f the convention.
Neither he nor Hrice attended the state
convention this year.
Ingalls denounces the platform for
reflecting on the supreme court and
for violating contracts payable in gold
in the future, as well as for its free
coinage plank.
