NOTIFICATION MEETING William J. Bryan of Nebraska, who was nominated by the democratic national con- vention at Chicago a fortnight ago, was Saturday afternoon made the standard bearer of the populist party at St. Louis by a vote of 1,042 to 321. The democratic candidate was nominated in the face of his own protest, in the shape of a telegram di- recting the withdrawal of his name, sent to Senator Jones—sent after Sewall, his running mate, had been ditched for the vice presidential nomination Friday night and Thomas E.Watson of Georgia had been named for second place on the ticket. It was also made in the teeth of an opposi- ticn so bitter that after the convention ad- jcurned some of the radicals held a “rump” convention. The Texas delegation sent a message to Bryan at Lincoln, putting the direct ques- ticn to him, whether he was in sympathy with the populist platform. To this no an- swer was received, but the democratic candidate had been in constant telegraphic ccmmunication with Senator Jones, chatr- man of the democratic committee, and word came to the convention hall that Jcnes had a message which he wanted the convention to hear. It was then, upon the suggestion of Sena- tor Allen, that a motion was carried in the confusion just before the ballot was taken that may prove the key by which the com- plications attending the desired union of all the silver forces may be unlocked. It was a motion conferring upon the national com- mittee plenary powers, all the power, as the motion stated, of the convention itself. Some of the radicals pricked up their eara when the motion was pvt and there was a vague protest, but it is certain that the rank and file of the convention did not realize its full importance. Refused to Hear Bryan’s Message. As the roll call was proceeding, Gov- ernor Stone of Missouri appeared on the platform with the Bryan message, but Senator Allen would not permit him to read it to the convention, and Governor Stone retired, very much disconcerted. The populist leaders had decided to go ahead with Bryan’s nomination irrespective of the wishes of the democratic managers. Rumors that such a message was in the convention aroused the Lone Star dele- gates to frenzy and Stump Ashby demand- ed to know if there was a message from Bryan on the secretary's table. Chairman Allen promptly responded that there was not, but there some talk of a “fictitious” message somewhere. He had not seen it. Literally, of course, Senator Allen was cerrect. He said afterward, in explanation of his action, that Bryan was the over- whelming choice of the convention: that the telegram, whatever it was, was not ad- dressed to the convention or to the populist delegates; that {t was purely a democratic negotiation and something with which a populist convention had nothing to do. The convention was hastily sdjourned after Bryan had been declared the nomi- nee. Roll Call. The roll call resulted as follows: Wisin vsewaeneseremne BE TR Ha iv” : z 92 15% Blond! BSSES an IE abs Tn SUPPRESSED DISPATCH. What Bryan Wanted Read to the Populists, Among those who returned to Chicago from St. Louis yesterday was a gentleman who saw and read the suppressed dispatch from Mr. Bryan te Sengior Jones, chair- man of the national demecratic committee. He possesses a fairly gaod memory and gives the following as the substance of the document about which thcre was 80 much talk and excitement during the last day of the populist convention. What 1s subjoined may be relied upon as being substantially correct: } “Considering all the Hreumatances and conditions,” wired Mr. Bryan, “I have con- cluded that the populist convention should mot consider my name for the presidency, but if it determines to nominate me, not- withstanding this declaration, that there may be no misunderstanding, I desire in advance to say that I shall not during the campaign discuss any other issues than those outlined in the Chicago platform. I desire above everything else to be instru- mental in having enacted into laws of the United States the free and unlimited coin- age of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1 without awaiting the consent of any other country. “The republican platform adopted at St. Louis asserts that the bimetallic system should be restored, but that the American people are helpless to bring about bimetal- lism for themselves until foreign nations are willing to assist. The American people cannot afford to surrender the right to legislate for themselves on all questions, and so long as the right is disputed it sur- basses all others in importance. “The populist platform presents several new issues to discuss, which during this campaign will, in my judgment, endanger the success of our cause. I am not willing to be a party to anything which will divert attention from the money question. Nor am I willing to be placed in the attitude of securing help from other political organiza- tions by sacrificing my associate upon the ticket. He is as squarely upon the Chicago platform as I am myself, and he has de- fended the cause of bimetallism against much greater opposition than have the men of the west and south. I desire to be left free to support Sewall during the cam- paign. It is due to myself and the populist convention that there should be the most outspoken frankness between us.” “To this dispatch,” said the gentleman, “there was attached a postcript requesting that the statement be read to the conven- tion before the balloting was commenced.” MR. BRYAN’S POSITION. His Acceptance Depends on Condi- tions Attached to the Nomination. On being informed of his nomination by the populist convention Mr. Bryan said at Lincoln Saturday evening: “When the populists decided to nominate Vice President first Senator Jones, chair- man of the national democratic committee, wired me as follows: ‘Populists nominate Vice President first; 1f not Sewall, what shall I do? Answer quick. I favor your declination in that case.’ I wired immedi- ately as follows: ‘I entirely agree with you. Withdraw my name ff Sewall is not nomi- rated.’ “These dispatches were published in St. Louis, and the convention understood my position. In spite of this they have seen fit to nominate me. Whether I shall accept the nomination or not will depend entirely upon what conditions are attached to it. My first desire is to aid-in securing the im- mediate restoration by the United States of the free and unlimited’ ¢oinage of gold and silver at the present Jegal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the ald or consent of any other nation. The: republican plat- form delares that the bimetallic system should be restored, but asserts that we as a people are helpless to secyre bimetallism for ourselves until foreixn tations come to our assistance. We cannot afford to sur- render our right to legislate for our people upon every question, and so long as that right is disputed 1.0 gther. question can approach it in importance: - Pappreciate the desire manifested at St. Louis to consoll- date all the free silver‘forces, and regret that they did not nomingte Mr. Sewall also. He stands squarely upon the Chicago plat- form and has defended our cause against greater opposition than .we have had to meet in the west and south. The populist platform is on many questions substantlal- ly jaentical with the Caicago platform; it &ces beyond the Chicago platform, how- ever, and indorses some policies which I do not approve of. All that I can say now is that-my action will depend entirely upon the conditions attached to the nomination.” “Assuming that the acceptance of the nomination by you would be unfair to Mr. Sewall,” was asked him, “how could con- ditions shape themselves so as to permit you to accept?” The question was evaded by the remark that if all things now perplexing were made plain, it would be an infringement upon the field of journalistic conjecture. When the complications that seem imm{- nent because of the seeming necessity of putting up two sets of Bryan electors in case he remained the candidate of the pop- ulist party were suggested Mr. Bryan re- plied that this was one of the difficulties which time must be trusted to remove. MAINE DEMOCRATS’ PUZZLE. Must Find Nominee for Governor in Place of Winslow. Following upon the announcement of his withdrawal as democratic candidate for governor of Maine Edward B. Winslow of Portland has given out the following letter: “Portland, Me., July 23, 1896. “Hon. Charles F. Johnson, Hon. 8. C. Gor- don, Hon. John W. Deering: ‘Gentlemen: “Your letter of June 24, informing me of the action of the democratic state conven- tion held in Portland on June 17, which made me the unanimous choice of the cen- vention as candidate for governor, to be voted for at the approaching election, was duly received, and in reply would say, while I deeply feel the honor conferred upon me and am profoundly grateful to the demo- crats of Maine for the confidence they place in me in placing me in nomination, I de- ferred answering this letter until after the national convention held at Chicago, July 7. I regret very much the complica- tions which have arisen which will make it impossible for me to accept this nomination So kindly extended. “The platform adopted by the state con- vention, which has declared for a single gold standard, is plain; and it was upon that platform that I was nominated, and I could not, even had I so desired, accept this nomination under any other circum- stances than to stand firmly upon the plat- form made by the democratic party of Maine. “The democratic national convention adopted a platform declaring for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and there Was a strong pressure brought to bear to have me announce myself in favor of the national convention, which [ did not eon- sider was right to do in accepting the nomi- nation as it was tendered to me by the state convention. There have been many expressions on the part of the democrats of Maine in regard to my duty, but it has been plain to me at all times that there was but one thing for me to do and that was to stand firmly by the Maine platform. “Since the democratic: national conven- tion it has been thought advisable to hold some meetings of conference with the mem- bers of the state committee and the lead- nF members of the democratic party that full and free expressions might be obtain- ed, and it was plainly shown that a wide difference of opinion existed, and many of the democrats of Maine thought it my. duty to come forward and indorse the demo- cratic national platform ‘I-have given no expressions up to the present time as to what I should do, but have given the mat- ter a great deal of thought and study, and see but one thing for me to do and stand as I wjsh to with the le:of Maine. That is, to decline the nomination so kindly ten- dered me, and I assure you that no one re- grets this more than I do. “I wish to return many thanks for the warm congratulations trom my many friends throughout the state, and, had har- mony existed in the party, it would have been @ great pleasure to me to accept the nomination. It is very evident from the free expressions of opinion that if I wish to secure the vote of the democratic party I shall be obliged to harmonize with both gold and silver platforms, and that I can- do under any circumstances. There is ne thing ae pag to do, sours to you, an rough you the demo- gente Foe aes ine, Ress the high nt - upon me, most respec le- cline the nomination. “Yours very truly, “EDWARD B, WINSLOW."* Opinion ts divided among Maine d gas to whether a new convention meet stat mites helt ¢¢ pelect a ae naidate. ° Matos democrats are in a greater dilemma than they have fer years found themselves in. W. P. ST. JOHN MADE TREASURER. ym Appoint- ment to the Silver New York Banker. Chairman Jones of the democratic na- tional committee has appointed William P. St. John of New York, who presided over the silver convention, treasurer of the democratic natioral committee. The letter of appointment reads as follows: “My Dear Sir—I have taken the liberty of appointing you treasurer of the demo- cratic national committee, and hope that you will, without delay, enter upon the du- ties of the position. Very respectfully, “JAMES K. JONES. “To William P. St. John, Esq.” Mr. St. John announced that he would ac- cept the pcsition. MR. HANNA COMING EAST. Will Start for New York Tonight to Prepare Eastern Headquarters. Chairman Hanna of the republican na- tional committee will start from Cleveland for New York this evening. He goes to ar- range for the openirg of the republican headquarters in that city. Mr. Hanna was asked if anything definite had been arran, ed as to the plans of the campaign. “‘Noth- ing definite,” was his reply. “That is part of what we shall discuss at the New York meeting. Nothing will be settled upon un- til the New York meeting is held.” A story was published at Cleveland Sat- urday to the effect that Mr. Hanna had ar- ranged to meet the president of the Cen- tral Labor Union for the purpose of dis- cussing the former’s record as an employer of labor, and that the Central Labor Union's president had refused to meet Mr. Hanna. As to the truth of the story, Mr. Hanna said he had been asked by a _re- porter If he was willing to meet Mr. Witt of the Central Labor Union, and he had re- pled that he was wiiling to do so. Tne question was asked because the Central Labor Union had propounded to Mr. Hanna a eeries of queries respecting his relations with labor. Mr. Hanna said he heard noth- ing more about the matter, and Mr. Witt failed to call. That was all there was to it. “These questions,” said Mr. Hanna, re- ferring to the queries propounded by the Central Labor Unt‘on, “contained ins! tions. Their purpose was of course antag- onistic 40 Maj. McKinley, and they sought to connect me with various strikes by im- plication and insinuation. They undertook to connect me with the sailors’ strike here two or three years ago. I had nothing to do with it. My brother, H. M. Hanna, was at that time president of the Vessel Own- ers’ Association. The questions also insin- uated that I hed to do with a miners’ strike in Pennsylvania. Our firm has an Interest In a mine there, but was not in control, and we had nothing-to do with the management of it. In point of fact, I have been employing some five or six thousand men for the last eighteen to twenty-five years, and have had a numter of strikes. It would have been strenge if, under the circumstances, I had not. But I have not been endeavoring to make political capital out of the fact, for or against. POPULIST NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Headquarters of the Party May Be Established Here. The populist national committee held its first mecting at St. Louis Saturday night. After quite a spirited contest Senator But- ler of North Carolina was elected 21 man, receiving sixty-five votes on the sec- ond ballet. The other men who were plac- ed in nomination were Senator Allen of Nebraska and Gen. Weaver of lowa. Sen- ator Allen said he did not see how it was possible for him to give the nec to the campaign. There was a fight over the secretaryship. Senator Allen suggested that J. A. Edgerton of Nebraska be elected, and several others, inc ing of Wisconsin, were plac tion. Mr. Edgerton was e Rankin of Indiana was made treasu An address adopted by the middl2-of-the- read men asking that the national commit- tee inform them what it proposed to do in case Mr. Bryan decided not to accept the nomination, and also whether it was the intention of the commitiee to take Watson off the ticket, was handed in by a comit- tee from that body. It was the general un- derstanding that all such matters would be referred to the executive committee. Senator Allen said Gen. Weaver and Gen. Kolb ought to be on the executive commit- tee, but did not stay to press this, as he had to attend a conference uf the friends of the presidential nominee. The following, with the chairman, secre- tary and treasurer, were elected members of the executive commits ereign, Arkansas; G. F. W chusetts; E. F. Taylor, Ivania; H. W. Reed, Georgia; J. W. Briedenthal, Kan- sas; John S. Dore, California. It is probable that the headquarters will be in Washington. BRYAN’S NOTIFICATION, It WiM Take Pince im New York About August 10, Senator James K. Jones arrived at Lin- coln, Neb., yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. He was driven directly to the home of Mr. Bryan, where he was closeted with him for five hours, talking over matters of import- ance. When the Senator was seen at the train he had little time to talk. He sald he thought the notification of Mr. Bryan would probably take place in New York on August 10. Mr. Bryan failed to confirm this definite- ly, but stated it would be somewhere near that date. When asked what action they had decided to take upon the nomination of Watson by the populists, the Senator said they would allow the good sense of the people to straighten out the matter. In other words that no definite action would be taken at present. He thought the complication would solve itself if given time. Senator Jones telegraphed Governor Stone that he would like to see aim at Jefferson City on his way through. He will go to his home in Washington, Ark., for a few days of rest. After Senator Jones departed, Mr. Bryan declined to talk regarding the conference. From the statement of Senator Jones it Is Lelleved nothing more definite than Mr. Pryan’s statement of Saturday night will be given out. oo GREATER NEW YORK.

JOHN BR. NICHOL*S FUNERAL. The Venerable Methodist Protestant Clergyman Lntd to Rest. Ccrrespondense’ of The Eventng Star. ODENTON, Md., July 25, 1896. The funeral of Rev. John R. Nichols, whe had for fifty-eight years been in the active ministry of the Methodist Protestant Church, and who served as the pastor of the First M. P. Church, Fast Washington, several years prior to the war, took piace here this afternoon. The services were held in the church which bears his name, crected mostly by his own hands, and which he served for the pasi five years, and they were attended by @ large number of friends and relatives from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington and the surrounding country. and the Interment was made in the church yard. The deceased was a native of Berkeley county, W. Va.; born in 1sI5, and his early life was spent in farming and carpentering. Shortly after reaching his majority he was licensed to preach, and joined the confer- ence of the Methodist Protestant Church. In the Maryland conference he filled a num. ber of important appointments, and was continuously employed for fifty-eight years, till the conference saw fit, much against his personal wish, in April last, to relieve him of active work. The knowledge of building acquired in early life he utilized on number of occasions, in building and re- pairing churches and parsonaes, and in some cases it may be said almost entirely raised the money and by his own labor built church and parsonage. The Brick- mekers’ Church in Philadelphia, the par- nage of the First Church of Washington and the neat Nichols Memorial Chure from which his funeral took place, were. among others, built by him. He was kno: throughout the conference as an earnest, feeling speaker and revivalist, and was par: ticularly effective as a singer and in the de votional meetings.
