Conventions Held tnd Movements of the Leaders. ‘The California democratic convention yes- terday indorsed President Cleveland’s ad- ministration and the silver plank in the na- tional platform of 1892, favored the election of United States Senators by the people and urged the construction of the Nicaragua canal. It also protested against any at- tempt to extend the time of payment of railroad debts to the government and re- quired a written pledge from all senatorial and congressional nominees to oppose any efforts in that direction. A resolution in- dorsing President Cleveland’s Hawaiian policy was lost. Judges E A. Bridgeford and Jackson Temple and Justice Murphy were nominated for justices of the supreme The state conventions of the prohibitionist and the populist parties met at Lynchburg, Va., yesterday. The platform proposed by the prohibitionists was rejected by the populists and a counter proposition from the populsts was rejected by the prohibition- ists. Tne prohibitionists resolved to nomi- naie candidates for Congress in all the dis- it is understood that the populists jo likewise. Sampson Pope, a reform candidate for governor in Souch Cafolina, who bolted the recent reform convention, has with- drawn from the contest. He says the great majority of the voters appear to be under the lash of “the ring,” and it will be im- possible for him to get out a ticket in a majority of the counties.

Tattersfield of Miller & Tate el, Importers and dealers in wool at Philadelphia, had an interview with Sec- retary Carlisle yesterday regarding the con- struction to be placed on the new tariff bill as to goods in bond. The particular ques- » Mr. Tattersfield desired to have whether wool now In bend put payment of ¢ act placing {it on a law. Mr. Carlisle explained that the wording of the enacting of the new bill was such that there could be only one construction placed upon it, and that was that all wool now in bond, in orler to avoid the payment of duty, would have to be exported and again im- ported. A statement prepared at the bu- reau of statistics shows that on July 1804, there were approximately 63,799,521 vunds of wool in bond, valued at $7,51! was be PLENTY OF MONEY. ist Baill Call for Five Times the World’s Circulation, Congressman Pigott of Connecticut has published a speech in the Congressional Record, in which he calls attention to the bills introduced in Congress by the popu- lists, and makes estimates of what it would cost to carry into effect the populist schemes of government. It is said that members of the House have already sub- scriber for over 150,000 copies of the speech, to use for campaign purposes, and that the democratic campaign committee will prob- ably utilize the speech in the south and west, where the populists are expected to make a fight. Mr, Pigott describes each one of the pop- ulist bills and submits a recapitulation of them as follow: Recapitulation. Without duplicating the amounts carried in the bills quoted where their modes or purposes are similar, the following recapit- ulation will show the sum total of appro- priations required to meet the bills named: Representative Davis’ bill (No, 3436) providing for the loan to certain mortgage debtors is estimated to re- yaa not less than the sum o1 Representative Clover’s $10,000,000,000 bill (No. 6254, Fifty-second Con- gress) to loan to states,é&c., wD cent of assessed val- ual of property is esti- mated to require exceeding. Representative Clover’s bill (No. 8999, Fifty-second Con- gress) is variously estimated to require the sum of from $5,000,000,000 to $15,000,000, 000, Say....... oa : Senator Peffer’s bill (No. 76) to loan not exceeding $2,500 to any individual apply- ing having real estate se- curity provides for an imme- diate issue of not less than 3700,000,000, and an ultimate issue of much more, but is = not estimated in the total, being similar in principle to House bill 3436, above quoted. 12,000,900,000, 10,000,000,000, Representative Kem's bill (No. 5446), where not in- cluded in previous esti- mates, would require an is- Sue of not less than. . Mr. Watson's various bills are not estimated, being in- cluded in thelr principles in previous estimates. Representative Hudson's pen- sion bill (H. R. 3186) would 1,000,000,000 t 1,500,000,000 Representative Davis’ indus- trial army bill (H. R. 6767) would require an annual ex- penditure of... é Senator Peffer’s charity bill (S_ 1300) appropriates....... . Representative Boen’s bili CH. R. 7008), for internal improvements, appropriates, With an annual appropria- tion in addition. Representative Boen’s bill (H. R. 5745) to exterminate the Russian thistle appro- priates ... eee Senator Peffer’s rain water bill (No. 7896) makes an ap- propriatior. of.. 500,000,000 6,300,000 500,000,000, 1,000,000 20,000,000 Total ... $35,507,300,000 In conclusion, Mr. Pigott says: “These estimates do not include any du- plication nor many items of expenditure proposed in the bills named, nor do they in- clude salaries of the thousands upon thou- sands of officials to be appointed under tneir provisions. As the total estimated money of the world, including paper, gold, silver, copper, brass and iron tokens does not exceed $i0,100,000,000, it appears that the amount of money called for by the bills named is nearly five times the volume of currency of the world.” pcre ain Doesn't Want Prying Foreigners.
