Fort Worth, August 0.—The
great silver convention is on. The
big guns rf the^ilver cause are
here loaded fo^Tbear. Hut it is
not a politician's convention.
Many farmers, stock raisers and
merchants who do not take stock
in politics are here. Reagan, Cul-
berson, Bailey, Pendleton, Ab
bott, Bell, Senator Chilton, Yoak-
um and dozens of other deino-
cjatic leaders are in attendance.
The populists too are holding
an encampment somewhere about
the city but no one seems to know
where. Cyclone Davis and a few
other of their leaders are ou hand.
They do not seem to be noticed
by the democrats at all. Ex-Gov.
Waite of Colorado is here and
long whiskered Peffer of Kansas
will be liere tomorrow. But the
two I cri'js are like oil and water.
They will not mix.
There are some wild and wooly
men among the democrats. But
they have many of their wisest
and most level headed leaders on
the ground.
The convention was called to
order at 12 o'clock by Hou. A. C.
Owsley of Denton.
Bryan T. Barry of Dallas was
made temporary chairman.
A committee of one from each
senatorial district, was appointed
on resolutions.
The committee has some strong
men on it. among them .folia H.
Reagan, Senator Chilton, S. W. T.
Lanham, Governor Culberson,
Congressmen Abbott, Yoeiuu,
Pendleton and others.
John M. Duncan moved that a
record of the names of the dele-
gates be kept to show that noup
but democrats took part.
The convention adjourned until
2 p. in.
Judge Reagan read a long speech,
which was heartily cheered, while
waiting for the committee on per-
manent organization to report.
There is but one duller speaker in
Texas than Judge Reagan and that
is Governor Roberts. But both of
them are solid speakers and their
speeches read well.
After the judge had cone hidedj
the crowd yelled for Hon. J. W .
Bailey. They would hear no ex-
cuse and he was forced to come to
the stand. He thanked the con-
vention for the honor, but said the
call forced him to reveal a secret.
The committee on permanent or-
ganization had selected him for
permeut presiding ot'licer, and he
would save his speech for that
time.
Several letters from prominent
men were read, among them Sena-
tor Morgan of Alabama and Sena-
tor Jones of Arkansas.
The committee then reported
recommending Bailey for chair-
man.
The report was received with
cheers and adopted with a whoop.
His speech was a splendid effort
but was rather short. The con-
vention yelled for him to go on,
but he preferred to stop.
Attorney General Crane was
called for and made a rousing
speech. Hon. Sam Lanham was
called out aud made a grand talk.
A resolution was passed asking
Senator Chilton to address the
convention at 8 p. ni.
The convention then took a re-
cess as the resolutions committee
was not ready to report.
It was one ot the finest bodies
of democrats ever assembled in
the state. No populists, federal-
ists or anarchists were among
them.
The work will not be completed
tonight.
The resolutions are expected to
be firm, but conservative.
gin next Tuesday, the 1.3th, and
continue for four days. The first
day will be devoted solely to
applicants for permanent certifi-
cates.
Yesterday Prof. C. A. Bryant
of Dallas, formerly superintendent
of the schools in this city, was a
visitor at the normal.
Each day's exercises furnish'
matter of general interest to
visitors who attend as well as to
the teachers, notably discussions
upon methods and management
under the direction of Superinten-
dent Comegys.
The subject of this exercise to-
day between the hours of 11 and
12 o'clock will be "Judicious
and Injudicious Punishment in
School."
At 9 o'clock the civil govern-
ment class will discuss the amend-
ments to the United States consti-
tution. The subject of the history
lesson will be "Political parties,"
from the adoption of the constitu-
tion to the present time, and at 12
o'clock the class in physics will
cousider the subject of "Heat,"
au appropriate topic for these
August days.
Mrs. Weaver's class of little
folks have furnished much enter-
tainment as well as instruction to
the teachers interested in primary
work.

Excited Negroes.
Chicago, Aug. 0.—Five hundred
excited negroes in mass meeting
today passed resolutions demand-
ing that Governor Altgeld protect
the colored people at Spring Val-
ley, and asserting their determina-
tion to leave for that place tonight
in the event of a refusal of the
governor to take action. A call
for the meeting was issued last
night, and fully 500 colored men
met at a State street hall in re-
sponse to the call. The men were
excited and the speeches violent.
They asked the governor to take
immediate steps to protect the
colored men at Spring Valley from
mob violence, and all present
pledged themselves to go to the
| scene of trouble th s evening if no
word was received from the gover-
nor before that time.
