The New York bankers have de- cided to protect the gold reserve in the U. S. Treasury. The sound money democrats of this state are talking of nominating « candidate for governor. It is stated that Senator Calvin Brice, of Ohio, will shortly declare himself for Bryan and Sewall. 3ryan and Sewall will be notified of their nominations at Madison Square, New York, August 11th Mark Hanna had better start up this McKinley excursion enthusiasm traine. The last one over to see the Major was loaded with ladies. But they don’t vote this year. Itis said Tammany never bolts except in defense of its own organi zation. Tammany is for Bryan and Sewall. _ Alabama will hold her state elec- tion next Monday. The opposition to the democratic ticket is a fusion of populiste and republicans. Secretary Hoke Smith eays if president Cleveland bolts the nom- inees{he will resign his job in the cabinet. Two life long republican papers in Kentucky, the Boonville Reeord and Somerset Republican, have de nounced MeKinleyism and come out for Bryan and Sewall and free silver. The Globe-Democrot says Me- Kinley is running on a gold standard platform, and if elected president will not hesitate to issue bonds to sustain the credit of the government. The Washington Post says: “It is| perfectly safe to assume that David Bennett Hill will not be found carry- ing water for the republican elephant this year.” The silver convention which met in St. Louis last week became dis- gusted with the populist convention when Watson was nominated for vice-president, endorsed Bryan and Sewal! and adjourned. Zhe leaders and brains of the populist party went to St. Louis to nominate or endorse Bryan and Sewall. They succeeded in naming Bryan but were outvoted in their efforts for Mr. Sewall. }ean press take delight in saying the : 2 Senator Chandler says if the sil- ver movement keeps on, no power - on earth can elect McKinley. The gold standard democrats are talking of nominating Mr. Cleveland ‘for a third term. It is safe to say he will not accept the gift. Mr. Cleve \land 1s for the gold standard, but he is not a fool. Joe Upton’s paper, the Bolivar | As there will be business of import-|poth to bave |Free Press, has bolted McKinley and come out for free silver.

They charge him with bolting the nomination of James G. | Blaine, and also that he contributed to Butler's boodle in New Jersey and thereby aided in the election of Cleveland. As yet Mr. Hobart has made no denial of the charge. In an interview with a New York paper Mr. W. C. Whitney points out the fatal mistake of the republi- can patty. He says that party is more partisan than patriotic. They repel the support they might gain from the gold democrats and that the silver cause is spreading and the east is becoming doubtful. The republicans and populists in North Carolina havea fusion scheme jand it stood Senator Butler in hand to defeat the nomination of Sewall. When you sift the opposition to Sewall by a few leaders of the mid- dle of the road populists in the St Louis conyention you will find each fellow had an ax to grind. Mark Hanna has become alarmed at the move of the gold standard democrats to put a ticket in the field | September 2. Hanna declares a move of this kind will ruin McKinley and he has gone to New York to inter- view Whitney and other sound mon- ey democrats to see if a stop can not be put to the business. Mr. Bryan is not much of a boy. He stands 5 feet 104 inches high; weighs 200 pounds; chest measure. ment +40 inches; waist, 39 inches; hat 7!; shoes 9; gloves 8; collar 17. He isa much larger man than Mc Kinley, who stands 5 feet 8} inches high; weight 185 pounds; chest 424 inches; waist 44 inches; hat 71; shoes 7; gloves 8; collar 16}. The New York Sun has not sup- ported a national or state ticket in twenty-five years. Yet the republi- Sun has bolted the Chicago nom inees. So has the Globe Democrat. The democratic party in the way of Suppert expect as much from the one as the other. Senator Butler, chairman of the national populist committee says he thinks arrangements will be perfect- ed for the withdrawal of Sewall’s name and the ticket will be Bryan and Watsou. On the other hand it is said Watson will be withdrawn, by arrangement of the two national committees, and the ticket will be Bryan and Sewall. —___.

Senator Sherman Realizes the Growth of the Silver Sentiment —Tells Mac and Hanna Something Must be Done. Canton, Ohio, July 27.—Senator Sherman, who here two or three days last week to participate in the centennial exercises, is somewhat alarmed at the manifestation of the silver sentiment in certain sections! and communities. He told Maj. Me Kinley that his voluminous corre- spondence was laden with inquiries ebout the money question, and that he was of the opinion that the most active measures to combat the silver sentiment ought to be taken at once. | He urges both Mr. Hanna and Maj. | McKinley to have the speaking cam | paign begin at once, and said he was | ready and willing to take the stump | at a moment's notice. Other Repub- licans of prominence, such as Senator | Hawley and ex-Goy. Merriam of Min- nesota, have expressed themselves in pretty much the same manner to was Maj.

Sewali and Watson Both Can Not Be on the Ticket in Ohie, Cincinnati, O., July 27.—Last win- ter Representative Dana introduced into the Legislature a bill to regulate elections in Obio. Its provisions, when looked up, are such that it is impossible for Sewall and Watson ‘BENNETT WHEELER MERC. —--DEALBERS IN—— their names on the) Australian ballot, the only legal tie-! attorneys admit there is not a flaw in the bill and no cc if there were any chance for a suit t would consider it.

Itis expected that! the two old parties will secretly enter into the State Populist convention | and attempt to secure such action as will be to their advantage and a raost desperate fight is expected. earnest, energetic, a splendid orator!The Dana law, in substance, is that | no candidate’s name can appear on the Australian ballot more than once, no matter by how many parties he is nominated. If the Populists agree! at their State convention to the Democratic candidates for elec- tors in the State there will be either no Populist State electoral ticket or no Democratic electoral ticket. Each candidate for elector must go on the | ballot as a member of a single party. Should the Populists indorse all the Democratic electoral candidates they would not lose their etanding as a State organization. Their State ticket would hold that place for | them if they cast more than one per cert of the entire vote. It is pro posed that an agreement be made by the Populists and Democrats by which six of the Democratic electoral candidates withdraw and their places be filled by Populist candidates This would have to be done with an understanding that the electors so chosen would vote for Bryan. It will be ditlicult to effect this agree. ment. Hanna Opens the Barrel. Chicago, July 22.—Hauna’s Illi- nois Campaign Committee got to- gether today and decided that $200,000 should be put into the fight in this State. Reports from all over the State | indicate that the free silver sentiment is growing enormously, and the com- mittee proposes to distribute im mediately several tons of gold litera- ture in the hope that it will prove a check on the silver advance. The conference disclosed much friction between the State and na- tional leaders over the distribution of the money. The Hanna men want no one but original McKinley men on their committees and insist on a majority of original McKinley men one mittees whic handle money. They propose to push McKinley, regardiess of Tanner and the rest of the State ticket. This plan has caused Ta aoners friends to protest aud dewand some representation on the committee.

Today the nize mem bers of the retiring Populist execu- tive committee made a formal settle ment with the uew committee. They turned over to Chairman Butler and Secretary Edgerton all the money jon hand, and their accounts approved.
