Colorado on wheels , or rather a largo num
ber of the prominent citizens of the "Silver
State , " reached Omaha yesterday enrouto to
the white metal convention to bo held at
Chicago tomorrow.
For several weeks unfortunate Colorado
miners hnvo been passing through tno city
inbox cars , with destitution staring them
In the face. The crowd of Colo-
radoans that passed through the
city yesterday , however , rode In varnished
cars , were "blled shirts" and were
tnsconccd amlJ the downy upholstery of
Pullman's. It was a bright and extremely
ilangulno crowd. The personnel .Included
many men who had brushed against fame
and fortune , Among the number wore :
Governor Wnlto , ox-Governor John L , Houtt ,
ox-United States Senator N. P. Hill. Con-
pressmen Pence and Beli. State Senators
Armstrong , Newman ami Wheeler , Colonel
.1. H. Plntt , Senator Teller , Colonel Archie
C. FIsk , President of the Pan-American Bi
metallic Lenguo.G. O. Morrlck , President of
the Colorado Silver League , Hon. Charles S.
Thomas , K. 1J. Holdon and others.
The delegates loft Denver by various
routes. i omo wont via Kansas City but the
majority passed through Omaha via the
B. & M , and Union Pacific Northwestern
routes. The trains ou thnso roads
reached the union depot about 4:05 : p. in.
scarcely a minute apart. Many of the dele
gates scrambled off the cars and paced the
platform when the ponderous wheels of the
locomotives stopped for a briuf period. The
men from Colorado really enjoyed a dense
cloud of smoke from the Omaha smelters.
They seemed lo Inhale it with evident
pleasure al the fact lint the Immense plant
had not shut down , whllu Just a faint trace
of envy was depicted on tlio countenances of
n few.
Shining Silver llvi-rywheri' .
Kach delegate were nn oHbornto blue rib'
bon six Inches In length. The top of the in
signia was decorated with a red , white and
blue strip , beneath which were the words
"Liberty nnd Union" in conspicuous letter
ing , while a big round silver dollar dangled
between Ihc words. An artistic climax to
the make-up of the badge was a cut of the
Btato seal of Colorado , while two silver
tassels flapped u free coinage greeting at the
extreme end of the ribbon.
A striking incident of the personality of
many of the delegates wns silver emblems.
Some Dcnvcrltoa had discarded gold watch
chains and substituted silver ones. Others
wore sliver dollars for watch charms. John
Ij. Houtt. the Gladstone of Colorado politics ,
pas cd cigars from a cigar case nuulo of
Col rado silver. It was essentially a silver
crowd every mother's son of them yelling
for Colorado first nnd the world afterwards.
One of the most prejudiced delegates took
out the gold filling In his teeth before leav
ing homo. _
"If we get in the soup at Washington
when congress meets , wu will partake ot
our consomme with silver spoons , " re
marked ono dolcjrato. "Tills crowd is for
. the free and unlimited coinage nnd if wo
pot free nnd unlimited soup we'll swallow it.
like men. "
Aim mil Intercut of ( 'npltiil nnd I.-.ilmr.
A feature of the personnel of the delega
tion on the Burlington train was the - presence
ence of the recognked labor leaders of Cole
rado.
Not only capital , but labor , thus seemed
to bo well represented. Among the dele
gates endeared to the hearts of the wage
earners of the silver state iwero Hamilton
Armstrong , district orgnuuor of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor ; James H. Cater ,
vlco president of the Denver Trades and
Labor assembly ; James K. Faulkner , assisl-
nnt state labor commissioner ; Leo M. Stern ,
secretary ol the Denver Trades assembly ;
\V. II. Montgomery , John D. Vaughan nnd 1
Charles Monagban. The consensus of opin
ions expressed by thcso gentlemen clearly
indicates that the Interests of tlio working
people of Colorado are greatly imperiled and
that relief must como quickly. They will at
tend the silver convention as strong advo
cates of free coinagn a sentiment that pre
vailed In the hearts of all the delegates on
the two trams.
After H brief sojourn in Omaha , the vari
ous delegations pulled out for Chicago. Sen
ator Allen and Congressmen Bryan nnd Mer
cer joined the delegation at the depot and
proceeded east with it.

Tlio Colorado delegation will mnko the
Pnlnier house headquarters at Chicago. lioA
meeting of the delegation at headquarter *
has been called for this afternoon al 'J
. „ - . „ full reall/fttlon of the fnct that the
cotiahlon la Colorado generally nnd. the dls-
position of tlm silver question , were two
\ topics that appealed to public In'.urot , a
corn * of DEB reporter * met the incoming
train * yoitorday and secured a number of
Interview * from the delegate * , Uhey will
doubtlei * prove of deep interest , ovou if
some of the silver sentiments do not meet
with popular local approval.
The substance of opinion wns that the
American Bimetallic league convention at
Chicago would bo productive of some Influ
ence en favorable congressional legislation
for silver. The delegates repudiated nil
rumors of anarchistic. Inclinations or "scces-
slon" talk. They admitted the deplorable -
plorablo state of affairs In Colorado ,
but stated that they wo'uld make the best of
It , like loyal , peaceable American citUcns.
General regret wns expressed at the incen
diary utterances , nt the Denver convention ,
of a few men. These men wcro Iu the dele
gation yesterday , looking as pcnccnblo as
iambs , and no blood stains visible. Governor
Wnlto left his war horse at home , and. In
stead of riding In "blood to. the bridle bit , "
rode in a Pullman , at peace with nil the
world , except a Denver nowspnocr reporter.
Kx-Seimtor IllU'ft Vlotrn ,
Kx-Unltcd States Senator X. P. Hill.
proprietor of the Denver Republican and In
terested In the Boston and Colorado Smelt-
Intr company , wns ono of the distinguished
members of the parly who came through by
the Union Pacific. Mr. Hill is not by way of
saying much for publication , and , whlla ho
fools thu situation as strongly as any one , Is
somewhat conservative in his expression of
opinion. Ho will bo there , and Is booked
for nn address nt the conven
tion on the subject under consideration.
Senator Hill said : ' 'My views on the sub
ject of silver are too well known to call for
nny remarks from mo at this time. 1 have
some very clearly defined Ideas about the
mutter which will bo expressed at the llrst
opportunity , which , I understand , will boat
the convention ut which I am booked for a
speech.
"Wo nro going Into this convention as
thoughtful men bent upon bringing before
congress nnd the people the necessity of some
action that will put silver on n parity with
gold. To repeal the Sherman law will
bo utter ruin unless there is some
substltuto adopted , and I believe that
President Cleveland will veto nny measure
in the nature of 11 substltuto that congress
may adopt. It Is better that the matter should
bo allowed to stand as it is , far better , than
that the Sherman net should be llatly re
pealed. Wo are going to ask for a ratio of
111 to 1 , which we consider to bo no moro than
is right nnd fair. I do not know that 1 care
to say any more just at tliN time , as my
Idons ami plans for bringing about the do-
sircd change of affairs cannot really bo do-
llnod inn brief interview , but it is probable
that 1 will bo beard from at length ,
vrltlun a few days. Yes , It Is no doubt true
that the fear thai congress will tamper with
tlm tariff iirobloni lias much to do with the
existing depression. I know an eastern
manufacturer of cotton goods , who usually
carries * lr > OJ,000 worth of stock , who is only
carrying f 100,000 worth at the present time ,
fearing that very action on the part of con
gress. What it will do with the tariff
problem is hard to guess at , but it scorns to
bo the general feeling that it will take it
up at this extra session ? '
Conk'a Itlsn.
John Cook , Jr. , who is chairman of the
delegation , who led the conservatives at the
Denver convention , evidently felt that he
was going to light a hitter light at Chicago
and spoke witli emotion on the subject that
moans everything to the men of tbo west
just now. "Wo are going inio Chicago , "
said Mr. Cook , "not as anarchists , not witli
rebellion in our hearts , but simply us men
asking for right and hoping to obtain it by
the demonstration to the people of this
country through reasonable argument , the
true condition of affairs.
"Wo shall ask fora ratio of 10 to 1. be
lieving that to be the fair standard. 1 bc-
liovo that congress will take the right action
by llrst repealing the Sherman law and then
giving us free silver. Wo can't count much
ou the northern members of the house , but
tho.-until is with us , heart and soul , and ,
with Iho semite iu our favor , I think ire can
win. Will Cleveland veto nn.v such net as
wo.askforl Not much. I think henlrcady
sees the falseness of his position , nnct is
beginning lo understand that the
country wants money and hus got to have it.
By the wny , 1 hope the outsidepublletloesn't
think thai the law-abiding peonle of Denver
approved of that lynching the other day.
It was a shame and a disgrace , ami we'feel
it keenly , deploring the action , or want of
action , of our police authorities in the mai
ler. At this time Denver can ill
afford to have such things occur.1
Concluding Mr. Cook said : "Ucincmbcr
that our light is not for g.iin. but for our
wives and babies and homos. Wo uoed the
goodwill and encouragement of every right
minded man to help us win it. "
Colonel 1'liitt Till In.
Colonel James II. Plait , president of the
Denver paper mills , ox-congressman , capi
talist and a tmiictailist of national promi
nence , ho who bul a short limo ago incurred
Iho displeasure of Senator Sherman on ac
count ot thu strong stand ho took against
the senator's financial idc.is , also caino in
over the Union Pacific , and lallced very cor
dially with a BUE man for a few minutes. I
He said :
"You understand- what wo are golnrr to
Chicago for. Wo are going there to nsk for
Justice , and I believe wo will get it. What
the plan of action is to bo I do not know.
That will probably bo decided tomorrow at
thu gathering of tlio clnns before the con
vention. Wo shall ask for a restoration of
i free coinage of silver because , aside from
local Intorcsts.wo ballovo that it should stand
with gold as a money metal. There is
no value in either intrinsically , and it is only i
legislation thai makes them valuable ; that
Is what has put silver where it In today , and
only legislation can icstoro it to where it
should rightly bo. As to what congress will
do , it Is hard to say , but I believe that thu
Sherman law will bo repealed and that wo
will bo given a subatituto that will bring
back old times. No , 1 don't think the first
nctlon will bo taken without something fur
ther being clone.
"I believe that most of thifprojudlco in the
cast towards free coinage is last dying out.
It was duo principally lo alack of knowledge
on Iho subject , but people are rapidly becom
ing educated In the matter , and the tide of r
sentiment Is turning in our favor. By the
limo congress meets I believe Iho adminis
tration will sco that most of the people of
this country want free silver and will uct
accordingly. "
Ciovurnor Wiilto IVn * IVnroful.
Governor Wnito and ox-Congressman G. G.
Byrnes were talking with a party of friends
when they were approached by u Ilnn re
porter. Ono of the delegates lold the
reporter to bo careful , as the governor had
whipped n pencil pusher named Gastou on a
Denver paper the day before ho started
for Chicago. Thu governor is n
mild looking man of about 05 or 00 years.
Hols vigorous , but docs not look like a man
who would want to ride a horse through
billows f blood of his
) fellow men who op i-
posed him. Ho is tall , stoops slightly , nnd
his gray eyes tire shaded by a pair of gold ; .1l l
bowed spectacles. Ho is unostentatious nnd '
plain spoken. When Governor Walto was
asked for his views of the condition of Colorado i-
rado , ho warmed up on thu instant and
showed that this was the subject nearest his
heart.
"It moans the killing of Colorado if congress -
gross repeals the existing silver law and ii
does not give us a butter ono Instead. Colorado i-
rado is distinctly 11 milling state , and she iis
almost wholly dependent on the successful
operation of her bllvermines. His irtio wo
have agricultural resources , hut I have 0d 0n
wheat hold Micro there thU year for ! 15 and
40 cents per bushel , when It cost SO or 85
cent * per bushyl to produce it. When the
miners are idle there Is no demand for the
agricultural products ,
' Wo musi have unequitable law , 10 that
wo can produce silver at a profit or the
millions of dollars spent m building up cities ,
developing mining properties , building
smelters , etc. , will have been absolutely lost.

that a comparatively few men can mine all

mountains and then not make a reasonable

Advance Guard of Congressmen Assembling
at the Capital ,
GEARY PREDICTS A NEW TARIFF LAW
Action Upon tlio Vltnl Question * of tlio
Hour Nut to Ho l.nne Uclnyed
After the llody
Cuiivt'noi.
WASIHXOTON , July so. The advance guard
of the members of the Fifty-third congress
coming to attend the present session , which
will begin n week from tomorrow , Is nt the
capital. Thcro are not many of them and
the probabilities are that but few congress
men will be In the city before next Saturday.
Among those who hnvo arrived , the opinion
seems to bo unanimous thnt the Sherman
law will nnd must bo repealed , or nt least
the silver purchasing clause , but- what shall
follow Is an unknown quantity.
Ono of the early arrivals Is Representative
Geary of California , known to fame In con
nection with the Chinese exclusion and rep-
istcry net , which bears his name. Ho said :
"I am opposed to the no-called Sherman act.
I have always been. It is vicious ami ttmo
docs not Improve It. The sooner it is re
pealed the bolter for the whole country.
Of course.some subsequent legislation will bo
necessary , but 1 ntn not prepared to sny
what it will bo , because at this time I do not
know , lam satisfied , however , that the
Sherimn law will go and tbat In its stead
wo will have something of benefit instead of
harm ,
Will Hnvo n New Tariff I.nw.
"I can not tell bow my colleagues individ
ually ; stand , for I have bad no very extended
talks with them on the subject. In place of
the present tarilf law , the chances are that
tlbi will have ono that is now from top to
bottom. There will bo radical changes In
the schedule. The country expects this.
The declarations of the democratic platform
arc so plain that thcro Is no ehanco to mis
understand them.
"I do not think that action upon the sliver
question or the tariff will bo so long delayed
as some papers and persons seem to have im
agined. ; The session will naturally bo
lengthy as wo have many other things to do.
Thu democracy will come out all right I
guess. It has a fair working majority and I
think that both sides , the silver men and
the ' sinslo standard men , are disposed to bo
reasonable. > "
t'o
Another equally interesting and important
congressional character is Senator Quay ,
who said in reply to a question on the pre
vailing topic : "I think the silver purchas
ing , clause of the Shtirmaii act should bo re
pealed. That scorns to bo tlio concensus of
opinion from thoio who know most about the
financial j ] situation. I would ba satisfied to
have j , congress adjourn after' that has been
done until the regular time of meeting. "
Spcnkor CHip's View * .
The ex-speaker cnmo direct from his home ,
where , us ho says , ho has been enjoying
himself and paying litllo attention to poli
tics. Ho looks a robust man , and will enter
upon the duties of his seeouu term blessed
with the best of health , Speaking generally
of tbo condition of nffnlrs in the south , the
ox-speaker says there is the feeling of dis
trust and the same hard times that charac
terize the whole country. The cotton crop
Ins just begun to como in. hut the fear of
the people is that they will have trouble m
sjeurltur the necessary money to move it.
.Mr. Crisp hopes that some wny will bo
speedily found by the bankers of the cotton
states to supply the funds to got this staple
of the south to the market.
Mr. Crisp is not inclined to talK freely on
the probability of the repeal of the Sherman
law , and docs not say whether ho thinks it
will bo repealed or not. Ho would not say
how ho stood ujwu the proposition to repeal
the Sherman silver law and enact a substi
tute providing fnr tbo free coinage of Amor-
can silver at an inerenscd ratio.
In regard to the rules , the ox-speaker re
iterated what ho said when ho was in tlio
city July ! t. Ilo was of the opinion that the
settlement of the silver question would con
sume some time and after it hud been dis
posed of , the tariff would bo taken up , the
members preferring to stay after they wcro
here than to adjourn and run tlio clianco of
a protracted session later OH.
While the speaker has given the subject
of composition of the committees more or
less attention , ho said that ho would prob
ably not announce them for two weeks lifter
the congress began , for In the meantime ho
desired to confer with members as to their
wishes. Any other course , ho said , would
be manifestly unfair.
Mr. Crisp expects the president to bring
the tariff question prominently before con
gress , either coupled with the question of
finance or in a subsequent message , bearing
directly upon the subject. The speaker looks
forward to a long and arduous session.

Dns iMoiNK ? , July HO. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : Bur..J Interest in Iowa politics is I
warming up considerably in view of the fact :
that the state republican convention occurs
August 1(5 ( and the democratic state conven
tion ono week later , so that in a little over
three weeks from now the candidates of
both the dominant parties will have been !
named and preparing to commence the cam
paign. The prohibitionists have already
named n state ticket , headed by Hov. B. iyx
Aylesworth , president-of Drake university
of this city , for governor. The populists
will hold their convention about-thu 1st of
September.
Several republican county conventions
have been hold and selected delegates , nnd
several names have been formally /placed
before the people for the republican nom
ination for governor. Among these are : Ex-
Auditor J , A. Lyons of Outhrlo county , Hon.
B , F. Clayton of Warren county , General L1.
M. Drake of'Appanooso county , cx-Secrotary
of State frank U. Jackson of Polk county.
Colonel E. S. Onus by of Palo Alto county ,
Hon. Lafayolto Young of this city is also y.ig
the list , but is not by personal effort socking
thu honor.
For tlio Other Ofllcri.
Practically no ono U in the field for lieu-
tenant governor. For Judge of the supreme
court no opposition hits yet appeared to the
renomliiullon of Judge Robinson , nnd the
same Is true of Hallway Commissioner Luke ,
Them are now five candidates In the field for
superintendent of public instruction Akers
and Sabin , both ox-superintendents , J. rsV.
Jnriiugin of Montozumn , U. T. Weld V.of
Nevada , and Miss Alice T , Hcnld of JelTcr -
son county. Tto
But few candidates have ns yet como to
the sOrfuco on the democratic side. Should
Governor Boies adhere to his determination
to retire from political life , and absolutely
refuse to accept a rcnoiulimtlon if tendered
to him , it will leave his patty In thu position
of almost curtain defeat in the coming elec ]
tion , for II Is conceded on all sides Unit lie
alone could possibly lead the democratic
hosts once more lo victory. Aside from
Boles , the names of Lleutonnt Governor Bestow !
tow , Senator N.V. . Dodge of Burlington ,
Judge Nathaniel French ot Davenport , Judge
Couch of Waterloo , W. W. Witmer of Dei
Moincs , J , P. Allison of Sioux City , ex-Con-
gressmun Bowman of Council Bluffs and
senator Cleveland of Harlnn , are mentioned
as good Umber for governor. Judge Day edof
Dei Molncs is mentioned for supreme judge ; ,
J , D. Yeomans of Sioux City for railway
commissioner , and State Superintendent
Knoepller for renomlnation.
Prohibition the 1'itramount Iiiue.
Besides the officers above mentioned the
people will this full choose nn entire now
lower house of the legislature uud twenty-
olghtoftho fifty stnto senators. Of the
hold-over senators tch are democrats and
twelve republicans. Although Iowa pave
President Hnrrison n plurality of K.OOO , the
democrats seated Governor Boles bv a ma
jority of 8,200. Thej figures tell bettor
than nny other explanation could what is
the condition of affairs In Iowa politics. The
trouble Is all over the laws to suppress the
liquor trafllc. For ten years tlmt question
has been uppermost , and it refuses to down ,
in spite Of thu effort of frinnds and foes to
quiet U. The democrats acknowledge that
they are outclassed in this fight ; all they
can hope for is some blunder on the part of
the republican managers. The republicans
seem to be ready to modify tholr position on
the urohlottiou question sufllcicntly to win
back that largo clement that has preferred
to vote with the democrats rather than to
aid in perpetuating n system which has been
n farce and a failure from Its inclptency.
The prohibitionists have learned to see that
the rcuubtlcan party is the best friend of
true temperance , ami they will hcsltato to
continue democratic nullification , simply to
force the republican party Into obeying their
demands in full.

BOSTOX , July ao. Or P. Wushburn of this
city , chairmnn of Iho eastern division of the j
national people's party , has sent to the
chairmnn of the state ! committee n circular
letter conveying his views on the silver
question. It is in part as follows :
"Tho most gigantic tryst the world has

senator. Then ho wrote out this as n reflec

"Tho unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law would place silver where It was under
the act of 18 'i and would amount to a recog

every democrat has denounced us a crime.
Senator Sherman would live to see his
life-lorn ; financial policy , for which the
republican partj has struggled for twenty
years , fully vindicated by the votes of the
democratic representatives. The Sherman
law repealed unconditionally leaves silver at
the mercy of its enemies. A majority of
both houses Is democratic nnd the fearful

nil they want , and that is the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law.
"The Sherman luw Is not responsible for

that law and not the Inw ns congress passed
It. The banks nmdo the law that has been

tions wcro started this morninc In Argen
tina. In each cnso the object is tlio over
throw of the provincial government , nnd so
fnr a * known the movements are not
intended to effect the federal administra
tion. The unpopular governments are these
which control the provinces of Buenos Ayres
nnd Santa Fo.
Armed groups of men calling themselves
clvico nntlonnlcs this morning attacked'tho
police barracks in the southern part of the
city of Buenos Ayres. The police arrested
the civicos , but the barracks were finally
stormed by the revolutionists and were sur
rendered by the police. All the arms lu the
barracks at once bocnmo tlio property of the
civleos.
About the time the lighting begun In Buenos
Ayres , members of the clvico nationalcs
party began hostile demoustr.Uions in
Ayacucho , u small vlllaeo on the Great
Southern railroad south of Buenos Ayres and
in Lujan , a city of1,030 , inhabitants , fitly
miles west of Buenos Ayres. Almost llio
same hour an attack on the police barracks
in the city of .Laplatto was threatened.
Lnplntlo is ono of the most Important
cities of the province of Buenos Ayivs nnd
has a population of10,000. . So strong were
thothreatsiiith.it city against the poll.o.
who nro nearly all loyal lo the provincial
government , that troops were called out to
patrol the streets and maint'iln order. Dur
ing the afternoon the revolution extended to
the villages of Sanvliiccnto , Tempeoloy and
Merino , all of which are controlled by the
civlcoo nationales. Vigorous measures have
been taken to suppress these outbreaks , but
what success has attended the efforts can
not bo learned , because tlm government tele
graph wires have boon cut by the revolu
tion Is ts.
Very Sorlnu * Situation.
It Is known , however , that ttie situation in
T..aplatlo is a most serious one. A large
nicotine was hold by the members of the
radical party in that city today , at which
the resignation of Governor Costa of the
province of Buenos Ayres was demanded.
The radicals then decided to Join Iho civico
nationalcs in their war upon the governor.
The chief of police also Joined Iho rcvolu-
tionlsts. Many of the leading eivicos have
been imprisoned by the troops , but this has
only more thoroughly aroused their followers
nnd added to the gravity of the situation.
DTho revolution in the province of Santa i o
broke out nt 4 o'clock this morning nt
Kosnrios. This is the principal city of the
province. It Is 200 miles north of Buono
Ayres , and is on the Parana river and the
Buenos Ayres & Hosanos railroad. It has
40,000 inhabitants. Details of the trouble
have not been received , but it is known
that the troops had to bo called out
to guard against the provincial govcr-
menl. oThe cabinet will ask congress to send
nn iiitervcntor to settle the trouble in San
Luis. The revolution there was causou by
the radical party , which opposed the gov
ernor of the province and named a temporary
governor of Us own. Ho organi/cd a
provincial government and is attempting to
exercise the functions of a regularly ap
pointed executive olllccr.

IsV somewhat remarkable that before Prince

would bo a humiliating defeat for England.

larger mines the situation Is even worse , as
their the business man IIml their shelves

This Is brought about by the fact
that in such cities It Is customary
for the minors to run monthly bills ,

proposition the owners were to furnish till of

men should continue at work , but submit to
n reduction of 50 cents per day , which would
