A meeting of gold standard democrats will be held at the Auditorium Hotel in Chicago tonight to consider the advisability of issuing a call for a national convention. Ten states will be represented at the meet- ing, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Ken- tucky, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Nebras- ka and Minnesota. Illinois will be represented by Senator John M. Palmer, C. A. Ewing, H. 8. Rob- bins and John P. Hopkins. Charles P. Long, John M. Etherington and Boyd Win- chester will be present for Kentucky, while Vv. P. Kline will speak for Ohio. Don M. Dickinson and B. E. Stevenson are going from Detroit, and Senator Vilas and Gen. Bragg wild be present for Wisconsin. Gen. Jas. O. Broadhead and F. W. Lehman will represent Missouri. J. J. Richardson and Mayor Vollmer of Davenport, Iowa, will look after Iowa, and Euclid Martin and F. M. Vaughn will speak for Nebraska. W. D. Bynum, S. A. Pickins and John P. Fren- zel represent Indiana. When the gold standard democrats of Il- lincis issued their-address to the democratic party shortly after the Chicago convention, they were acting with the knowledge and approval of the gold standard democrats in other states, and the meeting tonight is the result of the agitation following the issue of that address. It was not the original intention to call the meeting at so early a date, but ex-Congressman Bynum of In- diana has been very energetic in urging that the preliminary meeting be held at an early date, and it was finally set for to- night. There is practically no doubt, the Chicago men say, that the conference will decide to call a convention, and that the call will be issued immediately after the meeting. The leaders in the movement say that they have assurances that every state in the Union will send delegates to the convention. a The John Brown Monument. Fifteen hundred people gathered at the John Brown farm at Saranac Lake, N.

OVATION TO BRYAN. Given a Non-Partisan Welcome at Omaha. Upon the occasion of his first visit to Omaha since his nominaticn W. J. Bryan was last evening at Omaha, Neb., tendered an ovation entirely non-partisan in its tenor and character. He left Lincoln at 6 Pp.m., accompanied by a couple of friends and a half dozen press representatives. When the train pulled into Omaha at 7:45 p.m. the large platform was crowded with a cheering, howling assemblage -of men, women and children, whose vocal efforts drowned the music of the First Infantry Band. A large platform had been erected at 15th and Douglass streets, decorated with bunt- ing and streamers. Around it was assem- bled a crowd of people, the wide streets for over a block in each direction being dense- ly packed from wall to wail,while the roofs yand windows of adjoining buildings were filled with spectators. The appearance of Mr. Bryan was the signal for prolonged and hearty cheering that continued at brief intervals until Judge Doxne invited order. Judge Doane Introduced Mayor Broatch, republican, who delivered an address of welcome. When Mr. Bryan mounted a table upon the platform it was several minutes before his gestures hushed the uproar and his re- marks were frequently interrupted by cheers. He said: “Mr. Mayor, ladies and gentlemen: I need not say to you, my friends, that I am deeply touched by the manifestations of good will which have been extended to me since the nomination came to me. I un- derstand that this is not altogether a per- sonal feeling, but it testifies as well to this one great fact that among American peo- ple, without regard to party, without re- gard to creed, they love American insti- tutions and respect these who for the time being represent them. I appreciate the fact that I am a candidate before the American people for the highest office in the power of man to bestow upon his fel- lowman. “I am impressed with the responsibility, but I am supported by the consciousness that if elected I shall have the support of 70,000,000 people. This is no partisan occa- sion. The mayor here of this city is a-re- Publican. I’ see before me republicans, populists, prohibitionists, as well as demo- crats. I’can appeal to you, my friends, without regard to party and testify that in every contest through which I have passed, have conceded to my opponents the same honesty ‘of purpose that I have demanded you should admit in myself. So it is in the great campaign which we are entering. “If you speak in complimentary terms of myself I say to you every good word you say of me I can repeat of my opponent, Maj. McKinley. If you tell me that you be- leve that I honestly endorse the principles in the platform upon which I stand, I tell you that I believe my opponent endorses the principles in the platform he stands up- on, and I tell you that any man who charges the American people of another party with being anarchists and disloyal American citizens, I tell you that they slan- der the bravest people who have ever lived. But we are not dismayed at the use of epithets, because I know that the great ma- jority of republicans and populists, as well as democrats, regard the use of’ abusive terms without argument as disreputable. We shali go out into this campaign fight- ing for what we believe to be right and the matter shall be determined by the sober sense of the American people and they shall register their verdict in favor of the party which they believe best for the American People. “We know not what that verdict shall be. We have our ideas, hopes and de- sires,-and we know that no matter what the result of this campaign !s, that which is right cannot be defeated. We know that truth often defeated for a time can only be so temporarily, and we rejoice if we are in error, because we know truth shall come to us even though it often comes against our will, and we know that we must abide by the decision of the American people until such time as it shall again be reopened. £ “P thank you for your kindness. 3 come back to you with this nomination, tut I assure you I am the same person that I was before I received it, and what- ever its outcome, or whatever the result may be, I shall still stand for what I be- lieve is right, let coms what will for good, or ill. In one sense you can rejoice at this nomination. Nebraska has been con- sidered a state away out west, beyond the center of population; it has been con- sidered a small state with little more than a million people within its borders. It is @ new state, new among its sister states. There are those who predicted that it would be a long time before a presiden- tial nomination came west of the Missouri river. In the sense that it is a compli ment to the state you can rejoice, al- though you may not agree with the politi- cal principles advocated by the nominee. “For all you have done and all you have said I beg to thank vou most heartily.” At the close of his address Mr. Bryan was subjected to the handshaking ordeal, both hands being kept in diligent service for nearly two hours. Mr. Bryan will visit Council Bluffs today and return to Lincoln about 4 p.m. New York Times Reorganization. On application of the committee reorgan- izing the New Yerk Times, Judge Storer at New York yesterday ordered the receiver to sell the franchise and property of the Times at public sale on August 13. The re- organization of the Times company has been perfected, and a new company will be organized, with $1,000,000 capital stock and $500,000 bonds. Adolph 8. Ochs of Chatta- nooga, Tenn., will become the publisher when the new company acquires the prop- erty. The reorganization committee repre- sents nearly all the stockholders of the ex- isting company and the creditors. LACKED TEAM WORK Mr. Wagner's Oriticism of the Wash- ‘ingtong’ Playing. POOR JUDGMENT ON THE BASES SHOWN Club to Be Given a Chance to Re- trieve Itself. OURRENT SPORTING NOTES a Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 21, 1896. J. Earle Wagner's appearance in the role of brakesman on the Washington toboggan chute has so far had no visible effect in checking the fast-sliding Senators. Mr. Wagner joiged the team in Chicago Satur- day, avowedly for the purpose of getting at the true inwardness of why his club was losing. He investigated the rumors con- cerning the actions of several members of the club while at home, and also inquired as to the discipline maintained in the club and the department of its members while on the road. ‘What he learned with regard to the con- duct of the players at home proved unfavor- able to two members of the team, but he found that the behavior of the entire club while on the trip has, with one exception, been above reproach. The exception was a lapse of discipline, when Pitcher King left the club at Cincinnati without obtaining permission from Capt. Joyce. After satisfying himself that rumors of players drinking on the trip were without tcundation, Mr. Wagner looked for the trouble, where it is to be found nine times out of ten—on the diamond. He said on his arrival that he was positive the team was not playing the game as it should be played, when anywhere from eight to four- teen men were left on the bases every game. After seeing the two games Sunday, which were lost by close scores, Mr. Wag- ner pointed out several errors of judgment in base running on the part of Washington players, which, had they been prevented, might have turned defeat into victory. Mr. Wagfer said today that he felt satis- fied he had the talent to make a winning team, but it was not working together to] the best advantage. He admits that weak hitting has something to do with recent defeats, and 1s now trying to purchase the release of a young outfielder who knows how to hit the ball. If improvement is shown in the work of the team fn the next three or four games there will be ne changes, and Mr. Wagner will let well enough alone. Should the team, however, go along in the same old rut some radical changes may be looked for before its return home. J. A. H. Record of the Clubs. Clubs. W. 1. P.C) Clubs. L.

Washingtons and New Yorks Each Beaten Twice. The Washington Base Ball club tarried yesterdey at Cleveland, Ohio, and the Spiders are credit ag the accomplish- ment of two shut-outs in one afternoon. During the eightegn innings played Wash- ington failed to send a man around the beses. Inability to bat at the proper time, togéther with errors, tells the story of the double defeat of the Senators. The first game was decidedly close. King started in to pitch and did gilt-edge work until the fifth inning, when he was struck on the right forearm with a batted ball and so badly injured that he will be out of the game for at least a week. Ger- man, who took his place, was also in good form. Bad judgment by DeMontreville in the first game ruined the excellent chances to tie the score. In the second game Jimmy. McJames did the twirling and held the Spiders down to seven hits. Wallace, however, had a lit- tle the better of it, and fi is claimed a de- cision by Umpire Hurst “robbed” the vis- Stors of at least three runs. McAleer bunted and the Senators claimed he was thrown out at first, but Hurst ruled other- wise, and O'Brien entered such a strenu- ous objection that he was ordered out of the game, Lush going to second and Mer- cer to center field.

Philadelphia at St. Louis—two games. Brooklyn at Louisville—two games. Notes. Mercer will pitch today at Cleveland. Loutsville and Brooklyn will play games this afternoon. The Washington sick lst now includes King, .McGuire, Brown and Maul. The Washingtons’ new pitcher, Norton, will join the club tomorrow at Louisville. The young man is a graduate of the Ohio State University. “It's a great race, even if we uns aren’t in it,” says the Philadelphia Inquirer. It pays to be champions. — Baltimore’s western trip will net the club $20,000, So tar 241 players have taken part in the big league struggle this season. Tiernan leads the New Yorks in batting with an average of .372. It looks now as if there might be more western clubs in the first division than eastern at the wind up. But-just wait for the westerns’ wind up in the east. A gentleman who was with Rusie recent- ly in Indianapolis says the big pitcher looks in better shape than ever. He weighs but 201 pounds and is as hard as nails. President Robison of the Clevelands has written President Young demanding that a special meeting of the league be called to dispose of difficulties between the club and the league. McFarland has cautioned McGunnigle in very plain terms to keep his seat upon the bench. He said that he would have to make him take a seat in the stand if he continued to stand up. Frank DeH. Robison can be led by a child, but all the magnates in the National League cannot drive or bulldoze him. He is a gentleman of beautiful character, and a more leyal friend does not breathe.— Cleveland Exchange. Again the story is going the round that Breitensiein is playing for his release by pitching indifferent ball. Unprejudiced players, however, are of a different opin- jon. They say that the famous southpaw has lost his speedy ball. If the figures of the attendance at the Cincinnati-Baltimore games Sunday are correct, the record is broken. The largest crowd at- any game was that which wit- nessed the New York-Chicago contest at New York on June 13, 1891. It numbered 22, two “When do I intend to retire from the dia- mond? As long as I can hit that ball I will be in the game. Good hitters are gold and precious stones to a club,and it strikes me that they are growing scarcer and scarcer every day. Am I a has been at the bat? Not yét, by a good deal,” says Uncle Anson. Third Baseman McGraw of the Baltimore Base Ball Club returned to that city yes- terday after a two weeks’ stay at Cape May and Atlantic City. He has fully re- covered from his recent attack of typhoid fever, looks the picture of health, and says he is ready to “get into the game” when- ever Hanlon says so. It is not probable, however, that he will take his old place until the champions get back from the west. PREVENTED THE FIGHT. Sheriff Palmer Convinces the Sports That He is in Earnest. The sparring contest between Howard Wilson of this city and George Siddons of New York, scheduled to take place last night at the Eureka Athletic Club house in Virginia just beyond the Long bridge, was effectually prevented by Sheriff Pal- mer of Alexandria county, Va. That of- ficlal entered the club house before the time set for the first bout, and, with two deputies, took his stand within the roped inclosure. He notified the managers of the Proposed fistic exhibition that it would be useless to open the ticket office, for the reason that he had received telegraphic instructions from Gov. O'Ferrall to “stop those fights,” and he inteded to carry out instructions at all hazards. . ‘The hundred “sports” who. had braved the elements to get to the club house, through a sea of mud and a torrent of rain, were much disappointed at the interférence and their comments will not bear repeti- tion. It is reported that the ralll between Wilson and Siddons will be pulled off to- morrow evening at a spot where there is no likelihood of official interference. - Tennis. ‘The second day of the sixth annual ten- nis tournament for the Longwood cup yes- terday opened with a long-drawn-out con- test, in which Richard Stevens, the New Jersey crack, won from Ingraham without difficulty.
