Waxers Being Made That the Repub- Mean Plurality Wi Be Larger Than Ever Given for a President. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 26, 1896. From the trend of political affairs in this state in the last week republicans declare that it is plain that Ohio is wheeling into the republican line on the money question, and where there was room for doubt and uncertainty two weeks ago, unmistakable signs now appear that the state will cast # larger plurality for McKinley than she has been accustomed to give republican candidates for the presidency in the last thirty years. With the election betters Mc- Kinley’s chances have risen rapidly. A month ago even bets were made here that Bryan would carry the state. Today offers to be® even money that McKinley's plural- | ity will not be less than 80,000 find no taker. One enthusiastic but well-informed republican bet this week that McKinley's plurality in Ohio would not be less than Bushnell 00. Net to Be a Battle Ground. If the democrats realize this hopele condition inOhio—and it would be impo tor them not to do so—according to re lican claims—they will not waste much time and money in the state. It ts quite certain that Ohio will not be selected as a battle ground for the campaign. Republi- cans here laugh at the statement attributed to Senator Blackburn of Kentucky and sent out from Washington that he would spend the entire month of September on the} stump in this state. They say his heip will ; «lly needed in his own state. Chairman Daniel McConville of the dem- ocratic » executive committee has just arrived in the city, and is now opening the committee headquarters. It will be far in the month of September before he can ar- a systematle program for campaign ng. The republican state committee at work for two months, and its s' bureau has been in operation for but Chairman Matthews an- nol $ that no continuous work on the stump will be inaugurated before Septem- ber 10. Candidate Bryan's Visit. The democrats are making elaborate ar- rangements for the visit of Mr. Bryan to this city on September 1. They are ex- pecting that his coming and his speech will arouse great enthusiasm in the party. He will, undoubtedly, draw an immense crowd to hear him. The democrats are striving to outro the republicans, as the result of their work appeared in the great opening mee! idressed by Senator Sherman, Senator-elect Foraker and others, here on the 15th. This they will probably do. It will be the second day of the annual state fair, which will of itself fill the city with stra rs. The railways always offer un- usual rates, and on this occasion the rates will be lower than ever. Everybody, re publicans as well as democrats, will want to see and hear Mr. Bryan, who is a com- plete stranger to them, as were none of the ! of the republican opening. The Bryan meeting will be held in the state house yard if the weather permits, and in} the great tent in which the republican opening was held if it is too cool for an out-door meeting. The meeting will be held at nicht. If it should rain, it will be diffi- ; cult to find any building here that will ac- commodate the crowd. Populists and Democratic Nominees. The populists of this district have refused to indorse the democratic candidate for Congress—John J. Lentz—but decided not to nominate any candidate for the office. This is regarded as a half victory for Lentz, whose friends labored hard in the convention to secure an indorsement from the populists for him. In the eighth dis- trict the populists have indorsed the nomi- nation of McEldin Dun, the democratic candidate for Congress, but in the thir- teenth they refused to indorse Dr. J. A. Norton, tha democratic nominee. Norton obably be elected, however, over Stephen V Harris, the present Congress- man, on account of the large democratic majority in the district. ee Army Orders, Captain Henry D. Borup, ordnance: de- partment, has been relieved from inspec- tion duty at the Midvale steel works at Philadelphia and assigned to duty per- taining to the inspection of the’ manu- facture of twelve-inch spring-return mortar carriages, now under construction for the ordnance department by Poole & Son Co., near Baltimore. The following transfers in the Sth Cav- alry have been made: Second Lieutenant Francis _C. Marshall, from Troop L to Trcop F; Second Lieutenant Walter C. Babcock, from Troop F to Troop L. Little Johnny Makes Mischief. From the Boston Transcript. Little Johnny—“Mamma, isn’t Carrie Mean not to give me a second piece of pie when { ask for it?” Mamma—“No, Johnny; I told your sis- ter Carrie that she must not do it. Haven't I told you time and again that it is not Pretty to ask for a second plece?” Little Johnny—“Well, I know one thing. T’other evening, when that Mr. Cumerton was here, I heard him ask Carrie for just one more kiss, and she gave it to him, too, for I heard it. So there, now.” AS AN AID TO SOCIABILITY A Plan to Make Members of Congress Known to Each Other. Long-Needed Reform—How Senators Are Sometimes Embarrassed by Policemen. A new method for the promotion of co- ciability among members of Congress is | being developed at the Capitol in zeadiness for the next session of Congress. It is original with Sergeant-at-Arms B. T. Rus- sell, who has posted on a Jarge board in his office a cabinet photograph of nearly every member of the Fifty-fourth Con- gress, each picture having attached the neme of the subject and state from which he comes. Only sixteen photographs are missing from the collection, and they will be supplied as soon as possible. In the center of this group of pictures is a large likeness of Speaker Reed. This group of photographs would not suggest the idea of sociability, although the members are crowded together within a space of half dozen square yards. Mr. Russell found during the last session of Congress that many Representatives walk- ed about the House and the adjoining cor- idors unknown by name or fame to their fellow legislators, and sometimes to the officers of the House. Men whose face were perfectly familiar to every one knew but few of their associates except “by fae It occurred to Mr. Russell that by having the group of pictures members could connect the names of Representa- tives with their faces and so get to know every one of the 356 men who compose the House of Representatives. When the group of photographs is complete Mr. Rus- sell proposes to have them photographed on a single plate and this picture will be presented to each member. Provided with this means of identification it is believed a feeling of brotherly interest will be pro- moted among the members. To Ald Visitors. Another purpose of the photographs is to assist visitors in endeavoring to recognize members from the gallery of the House. Visitors are now provided with a card showing where each member 1s located, but the nomadic propensities 0 the legis- lators is so strong that their occupation of a particular seat is no proof of their iden- tity, and many very funny mistakes have been made by those who have relied on this method for determining the names of members. It is thought by many who have seen this device to promote sociability and identifi- cation that it will prove so useful during the next session of Congress that it will be but a matter of a short time when it will be introduced in the Senate, wherc, of course, there is never any trouble from the —— of the solons to recognize each other. is no It uncommon thing, howe to go thro ral weeks, or even months, unknown to . doorkeepers and messengers, and on more than one occasion during th: past two sessions members of the upp-r house have been annoyed by being shut oat temporarily from those inner sanstuarics from which the public, and even the mem- bers of the other house, are excluded, but to which every Senator has an inalienabl. privilege of access. It Is related that Scn- ator Wilson of Washington ran is by no means a newcomei the House, but his promotion to the Se ate stranded him for a time, so to speak on the sands of oblivion. ' After being stepped his progress about the Senate wing by over-careful policemen two or three times he Went in good-natured in- dignation to Col. Bright, the sergeant-ate arms, and persuaded that official to take him on a round of the points of vantage and formally introduce hIm to each of the guards. He then felt free, he sald, to walle abroad, but not until then. == eee eS NEBRAS: PROHIBITIONISTS.

LARGE MEETING AT MUSIC HALL Program for Next Week Has Been Changed. CURRENT POLITICAL NEWS Mr. Bryan, the democratic presidential candidate, went from Erie, Pa., back to Buffalo, N. Y., yesterday afternoon. There were few stops on the way to Buffalo and there was no noteworthy demonstration. Mr. Bryan devoted himself to.the perusal of Mr. McKinley's letter of acceptance. When asked if he would give his views upon the letter Mr. Bryan sald: “I have read the letter. I do not care to make any comments on it. I suppose !t can be con- sidered the golden text of the republican lesson." Upon their arrival at Buffalo at 3:30 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were escorted to the Genessee Hotel. There they were quartered in apariments which had been occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland just before the election of the President to his office, and upon the walls of which hung portraits of the President and his wife. A reception was held for two hours in the hotel parlors in the afternoon, when Mr. and Mrs. Bryan shook hands with a con- stant line of callers which still stretched along half a block outside of the building when the doors were closed upon the last cemers. Meeting in Music Hall. Apparently the entire population turned its footsteps last nigat toward Music Hall, where Mr. Bryan addressed 4,000 people, as many a3 could be packed within the four walls, while many thousands filled the neighbering streets. Mr. Bryan. was escorted to the hall by the “Cleveland Denfocracy,” the city’s old- est party organization, and by ward clubs, bearing torches. The line of march was along half a mile of Main street, crowded almost as thickly as was the hall, and red fire and cannon announced the candidate's coming. In the hall the crowd had amused itself Hstening to an eccentric gentleman in the gallery, who loudly read an original Poem, having the refrain: “Bill Bryan, dear Bryan, the fight.” When a banner was borne down the aisle, blazoned with the words: “A public off is a public trust,” “The Cleveland Demoe- racy,” was cheered. When the candidate appeared upon the stage, escorted by State Committeeman John C. Cuneen, the police were powerless to control the audience, and, swarming down to the front, several hundred men took possession of the seats reserved for the clubs. Charies F. ‘Tabor was chosen president of the meeting, and when the list of vice presidents was read the name of Mr. Nor- E. Mack, editor of the only free silver paper in Buffalo, was cheered almost as enthusiastically as Mr. Bryan had been. Candidate Bryan's Speech. Mr. Tabor made a short introductory speech, and then introduced Mr. Bryan, who was greeted with chez He spoke in part as follows: “Ladies and gentlemen, fellow citizer I cannot express to you the gratitude which 1 feel when I see the interest the people of the empire state taking in the cam- paign upon whien we are just entering. 1 am grateful to the gentleman ‘sho has presiued at this mecting and to e who have gathered to lend their enthusiasm to the cause. 1 shall carry back to the peo- ple of the west the new: the news either, because it is no lon the Chicago plaitorm is supported, indors- ed, not by ihe west and soutn alone, but stand first in by all the toiling millions of the east as well. (Great applause.) “I am aware that in the writing of a platform it is impossible to suit the opin- iors of ail; 1 recognize that people who think will differ, and that we often find in piatiorms thiugs with which we cannot iully agree, and we fail to find in plat- forms, sometimes, attention of policies which we regara as important. “But the platforms are not written by all of the party; they are written vy a majori- iy of a party (appiause), and whea a ma- jerity of a party writes a platform, the others in the pariy must either stand ‘pon it or get sut of the party. (A “The deimocratie party i. Id standard; not only oppos alterably opposed to it; It is so much op- posed to it that it will not permit the American people to be bound by it, though nation on earth shall demand it. (Ap- plause.) We did not achieve independence for the purpose of bowing to the yoke of any foreign power. (Applause.) “Let me call your attention to what has been said in regard to the soid standard. I want to give you language whicn is strong- er than I would be willing to use on my own authority. I want to give you lau- guage which surpasses in emphasis any uage which you have heard uttered by these who are now called extravagant. It is the language of John G. Carlisle, utiered in 1878. ‘The chairman has rcad an extract from that speech. Let me read another extract: ““The absolute struction of half th and instantaneous de- entire moveable prop- cluding houses, sbips, r care ing on commerce, whiie it would be felt t sensibly at the moment, would not produce anything like the prol nged dis- tr and disor 2 of society that itably resuit from the permanent annthiiation of one-half of the. metallic money of the worl “That is what Mr. Carlisle said—that if I should o1ganize a conspiracy to destroy one-haif of all the houses in the world and sink one-half of all the ships upon the sea, and destroy one-half of all the railroads and means of communication, that it would not produce anything like the results upen seciety that should be producs by the per- manent annihilation of one-haif of the world’s supply of metallic money. “And yet, my friends, the republican party has pledged itself to join in a con- spiracy to destroy this money unless other nations come and help us to save cur peo- ple. (Great applause.) “Who are the anarchists? Are they the ones: who want to resiore the gold and sil- ver coinage of the Constitution? Are they the ones who want to reinstate the finan- al system which had the indorsement of 1 the statesmen from Washington and Jefferson and Jackson dowr to Lincoln; or shall we find the anarchisis among those who want a financial policy which will do more harm than to-destroy half the houses sink half the ships and tear up half thy raiiroads? (Applause.) “We propose a financial policy. Our gp- prnents propose nothing. Withont daring to defend the gold standard, v: thout daring to set a time when you shali escape te they preach the doctrine of ‘grin and beng it,” and offer no hope to the Aman race, We ask for the free coinage of silver.” Congressman William Sulzer of New York made the closing speech. While he was talking Mr. Bryan was escorted back te the Genesee House, about which people were packed, and ‘from. the balcony she made another speech to an audience larger than the first. Mr. Bryan's program for next weck has been changed. The intended speech at Coz lumbus has been abandoned by the advice of Chairman Jones of the national com, mittee, and the trip from New York state to Chicago will be along the line of the lakes, except one day. From Cleveland where he speaks Morday, the candidate will go to Toledo, and “thence through Mtchigan by way of Adrian, Hillsdale and Findley, and then will make a dash dow} to Elkhart, Ind. sncoee SENATOR CAFFERY TO PRESIDE. Arranging for the I vention, It is practically settled that Senator Don- eld Caffery of Louisiana will be the per- morent chairman of the national demo- cratic convention, to be held at Indianapo- lis rext week. He has been notified of his selection and will arrive here Tuesday next, prepared to perform the duties of that office. The question of temporary chairman is not so certain, but it rests between Bourke Cockran of New York and Roswell P. Flower of the same state. Mr. Cockran is most spoken of for tho Hanapolis Con- lace, but as he hag not yet signified his fatention to be present the honor may fall to Goverror Flowe! It Is now believed, that there will be at least a semblance §f a contest over the nomination for the it place on the tick- et. Many names mentioned as being especially available, and among these is that of Grover Cleveland. One of the managers of the soa Standard movement seid, however: “This will be a convention of Mr. Cleveland's friends. It would not do anything that whuld offend ee There has’ never been thé slightest hint from him that he would accept another nom- ination and under these circumstances the convention will not ‘Consider his name.’ Nearly every matl now brings lists of delegates to headquarters. Secretary John R. Wilson of the national committee ts en- gaged in making epee roll of the con- vention for submission to the national committee at its miteting next Tuesday. It looks now as {f thére will be about nine hundred delegates in the convention. Chairman W. D. Bynum said that every state and territory except Nevada, Wy- oming, Idaho and Utah will be represented. Quarters were today reserved for full dele- gations from Georgia, Texas and Michigan. The decorations and rearrangements of Tomlinson Hall, where the convention is to meet, will have been completed by Sat- urday next, and it will be turned over to the sergeant-at-arms. Many Applications for Tickets. Messrs. Bynum and Wilson are daily re- fusing hundreds of applications for tick- ets. Some people are offering as high as $10 each for the tickets at present. The stage of Tomlinson Hall ts arranged for the convention. It has been built in the form of an amphitheater and will seat about 400 pecple. Capt. Frank Miller of Indianapolis has been made assistant sergeant-at-arms by Mr. Walter Kessler. The tickets for the convention are now in the hands of Messrs. Bynum and Wilson. They are beautiful works of art. The commiitee will audit accounts and pay bills and will see that the convention hail is in proper shape. The national com- mittee will meet on Tuesday and will con- firm the selection of temporary officers by the executive committee. It tegins Lo appear that Indianapolis will have her hands full during the convention.

OHIO GOLD DEMOCRATS. x-Congressman Outhwaite Addressed the Columbus Convention. The Ohio state convention of the national Gemocratic party was called to order at ncon at Columbus yesterday by ex-Con- gre nan Joseph H. Outhwaite. It repre- sents the Ohio democrats who favor the gold standard. Mr. Outhwaite said the state convention, which was called some months ago “by the usual authority, gave us @ weak and narrow plank borrowed from the popullsts.” He said the Chicago national convention was dominated by the spirit of rule or ruin, boss or bolt. Some of its measures were.-‘subversive of the vital principles of our party. The temporary chaitMan appointed the following committee on resolutions: Virgil P. Kline, Cleveland, chairman; Thos. Reer, Bucyrus; Julius Dexter, Cincinnati; Henry C. Marshall, Dayton, und Henry Ap‘horp, Ashtabula; William Senn, Sandusky, and weli Kennan, St: Clairsville. committee, was also selected to i.ame electors and delegates-at-large, and the convention recessed until 2 o'clock. When at the High *) delegates in representing every county in There was‘ also a large .um- ber of spectators. John H. Clark of. Youngstown was intro- duced as the permafent chairman, and made a speech denowncing the Chicago platform as undemocratic and revoiution- and making an appeal for the preser- vation of the principles of democracy as nted by on, Jackson, Tilden eland weech created great enthusiasm, ard rence to Cleveland wag yociferous- red. Frank M. Gorman of Cincin- nati was chosen permanent secretary. The report of the committee on Tesolu- tions was read by Virgil P. Kline. The resolutions protested against the action of the recent Chicago convention as unwise, unpatriotic and undemocratic, seeking to divide the people into classes. The crown- ing folly of the Chicago convention was declared to be the debasing of our stand- ard of value by the free coinage of. sil- ver, “not at a commercial ratio of gold, as has heretofore been done, but on the bold and fals sumption that government can by such act create a value that by the universal sense of mankind does not exist, thus proposing to wrong all classes by coini money debased in qual- ity and fluctuating in value.” The solutions declared for the main- tenance of the present gold dollar as the American standard of value and the use cf silver as money, and its coinage and cir- culation in such quantities only as can be kept at parity with gold. The resolutions also commended “the wise, patriotic and courageous adminisira- tion of President Cleveland, and condemn- ed as unpatriotic and undemocratic the refusal of the Chicago convention to ap- prove the same.”’ After the adoption of the resolutions delegates and electors-at-large were chos- en, as follow: Delegates-at-large—Joseph H. Outhwaite of Columbus, George E. Seney of Tiffin, Wm. E. Haynes of Fremont, Michael Ryan of Cincinnati. Electors large—W. A. Lynch of Can- ton, W. edary of Columbus. It was ded that the state central committee should act as an executive com- mittee, and that it should name candi- dates for judge of supreme court and food commissioner on the state democratic tick- et instead of the populists selected to fill the vacancies, It was decided that the party emblem should be a hickory tree. VIRGINIA GOLD DEMOCRATS. Favor Retirement of Greenbacks and More Bank Paper, When the delegates to the Virginia gold democratic convention at Richmond yes- terday reassembled at 4 o'clock speeches were made by W. L. Royall, editor of the Richmond Times, and others. The va- rious districts were then heard from. The follcwing resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the unterrifled democracy of Vinginia in convention assembled at Ricbmond, August 27, 1896, heartily indorse its present federal’ administration in its acts relative to the ‘maintenance of public credit and its efforts to sustain the honor of the American people. A recess was then,taken until 8 o'clock. When the body «egonvened at night Joseph Bryan, chaiman of the committee on resolutions, presented the report of that body. The salient; features of the paper were loudly cheered, especially th refer- ence to Cleveland... Mr. Bryan made a strong speech in gupport of the resolu- hs. An Addres# tad Virginians. The report of the, cémmittee on resolu- tions opened with; resolutions regarding Iccal machinery ofzthe party. ‘The remainder of°thé report was In the shape of an addregs to the people of Vir- ginia. It opened .with a declaration of the principles of Jefferson democracy, fol- lowed by a denunéiation of the Chicago platform. It also says: “The democrats of Virginia approve the sc of silver to the greatest extent con- sistent with its maintaining its parity with geld, but they will protest against a de- Fescment of our money which would ban- 4sh gold from circulation, and will resist with their utmost power any act of in- justice to the savings of the prudent and laborious. They resent as an arbitrary act of tyranny the proposition in the Chi- cego platform to forbid citizens to make cortracts in any kind of money they may select. In order to afford full and proper financial relief to our people we will urge such legislation by Congress as will ro- move the oppressive features of the na- ticnal bank law and permit an enlarge- ment to banks of the right to issue notes redeemable on demand in lawful money, gold, silver or other legal tender, under such limitations as may be deemed wise and safe. We favor thé termination of the endless chain of government, no’ the existence of which constantly the treasury reserve of gold, while the en- largement of the currency under the plars suggested will so increase the cir- culating medium of the country as to en- able the government, without contraction, to retire its demand notes, and thus abolish its gold reserve and have no outstanding obligations which can raid the treasury, and we give this pledge to the people of Virginia that we will not countenance any legislative action or executive meddling de- signed or tending to depress the valuo of preperty, real or personal, through con- traction of the currency. State Banks Question Shelved. Mr. 8. V. Southall moved to amend the report by adding a declaration in favor of the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks. This met with much opposition and stirred up the first lively debate of the day. The amendment was finally laid upon the table. The convention elected T. M. Scott of the eastern shore and J. K. Edmondson of Reckbridge, electors-at-large. Delegates- at-large were elected as follows: Joseph Bryan, 8. V. Southall, James Bumgardner and E. C. Venable. Ex-Governor W. E. Cameron, in response to calls, addressed the convention at some length. He was cheered time and again. After Cameron's speech and a short ad- dress by Mr. Halbrook gf Tazewell the convention adjourned sine die. GOVERNMENT PAPER OPPOSED. Loul jana Gold Democrats Want the Notes Redeemed. The Louisiana gold standard democratic convention assembled at 8 p.m. yesterday. Senator Donaldson Caffery was made per- manent chairman and addre%sed the con- vention. The resolutions reaffirm the declarations and principles of the democratic platform adopted at Chicago in 1892 as the true ex- pression of sound democratic doctrines. They denounce the action of the Chicago convention of 1806 for an attempted be- trayal of the party to the anarchists, the socialists and the populists, and affirm that its declaration of principles 1s not bind- ing upon any true democrat; commend the administration of that great, wise and courageous democrat, Grover Cleveland, “who, amid treachery and cowardice in his party, has énforced the laws of the United States, has maintained their dignity in all foreign relations, and has advanced the cause of civil service reform, and has striven under the law to preserve the financial honor of the nation;” favor the organization of some financial plan wher by the government will redeem all its out- standing circulating notes in gold coin of the United States of the present standard of weight and fineness, and retire from the banking business. The re a “That we are unalterab! s free and unlimited coinage of silver except by international agreement that will main- tain its parity with gold.” The convention elected a full delegation to the Indianapclis convention and the fol- lowing delegates-at-large: Senator Caff: D.

The executive committee of the Republi- can National League met at the Hotel Pfister in Milwaukee yestérday and took up the report of the committee on Icague work which was referred to it by the con- vention. The plan is to divide the country into districts for the direction of the club campaign and there is to be an ex © committee at the head of each distri A subexecutive committee is to be appointed, consisting of nine members from various parts of the country, who will preside over the work in their respective districts, with power to appoint the district exccuti-e committees to assist them. The subex- ecutive committee will be called together to make reports, and they will form the connecting medium that will keep the na- tional officers and the general executiv committee 4n touch with active workers It was reported that the republican nation- al committee had turned over the campaign to the league and both bodies will work in conjunction. Several plans were suggest- ed for raising money, but nothing definite was decided. President Woodmansee was authorized to make the appointmer of the members of the subexecutive committee and will have them ready for announ- Ment soon. The Primaries in South Carolina. Final returns from the recent democratic primary in South Carolina were received last night. The vote for United States Sen- ator was: John Gary Evans 400; Judge Jos. H. Earle, 30,057; John T. Dancan, 8,220. As Evans lacks Si7 votes of a ma- jority he and Earle will have to run in a second primary. Gen. W. H. Ellerbee is nominated for governor by a majority ex- ceeding 44,000. POWDERLY FOR McKINLEY. Fears the Effect of the Election of Bryan. Terence V. Powder: former master workman of the Knights of Labor, tn an interview has announced his intention to support Major McKinley. He explained that McKinley has devoted his whole life to the people, and that not a breath of scandal has scorched his career. “I am not only not in favor of Mr. Bryan's elec- tion, but I am unequivocally in favor of the election of Mr. McKinley,” said Mr. Powderly. “I do not doubt Mr. B ability or sincerity, but his experience and his surroundings are such as to cause the elector to ponder long and carefully over the probable result of intrusting the busi- ness management of this industrial na- tional workshop in his care. “The preamble of the Knights of Labor did not favor the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 or at any other ratio. I do not regard the silver issue as the most important now before the people. The ent depression is not the result of currenc changes so much as industrial revolution. if Bryan is elected and the free coinage law is passed, it will, as I sce it, drive gold from circulation and we will pe'on a single silver basis. If McKinley is elected silver will be retained in its place as part of the money of the nation; gold will not be driven out, and all kinds of money will be equal in value and purchasing power.” COALITION 1 IDAHO. Democrats, Populisis and Silver Re- publicans to Support Dubots. Senator Dubois was unanimously nom- inated for United States Senator by the Idaho republican convention at B > Idaho, yesterday. Stennenberg, the Gemo- cratic fusion candidate, was nominated for governor; Gunn, fusion populist, for Con- gress, and the fusion nominees for secre- tary of state and mine inspector were also indorsed. A democrat was nominated for lieutenant governor, also a democrat for treasurer; Wilson, present republican Congressman, for the supreme court, and republicans for attorney general, auditor and superintendent of public instruction. The silver men in ali parties claim that this ticket will be recognized by the na- tional democratic and populist committee as the silver coalition ticket, in which event they claim that the contest in Idaho will be settled, and Dubois and other sil- ver speakers will soon be sent cast.

Harry Hill, the old-time sporting man and pioneer concert hall keeper of New York city, died at Flushing,Long’ Islandjast evening from malaria, said to have been brought on through drinking impure water. Mr. Hill came to this country from Eng- land in 1850 on one of the pioneer packet ships, which in those days landed at Flush- ing. Some years later he opened a primi- tive “club,” which had no name in particu- lar, but was significant of many things in general. His place was patronized by well- known men from all parts of the country. The “attractions” offered were of a low variety order, but Hill, who was muscular and daring, always maintained a degree of decorum which pleased his patrons. He violated the excise laws habitually, but was permitted to continue to do so for many years until, as he averred, the police demands for “protection” were ‘more ‘than he could afford to pay. Open warfare with the police followed, and he was compelled to close his resort. oo —__ Assigned to Protect Depoxits. The Avenue Savings Bank, a small pri- vate bank on the corne: of 3lst street and Michigan avenue, Chicago, assigned yes- ‘terday morning to the Chicago Title and Trust Company. Since the failure of the North & Co. Bank and the Haymarket Bank there has veen a steady withdrawal of deposits, and for the protection of the depositors the assignment was made.

J., August 25, 1896. To the north of the Jersey coast lies this little resort, which is not so well known as it might be, but whose primitive charms and distinct advantages are appreciated by many Washingtonians who are summering here. There are but three hotels—all, how ever, excellent in their way—and a great many attractive cottages, forming a little community, in which there is a conspicuous absence of the common and vulgar or showy and sensational element. Social life, indeed, among the cottagers is almost as exclusive S among the more heralded aristocracy of Newport, and at the hotels many of the best-known people from all parts of the country may be met. Washington ts notably represented, both among the cottagers and hotels, and in a morning stroll along the board walk at the*bathing hour one may pt Secretary Harmon and his family, the lus Baileys, Dr. and Mrs. MeGuire, .

Auditor Baldwin of the Treasury Depart- ment has American Commercial Company for da alleged to ha tained by it by reason of the Unit having prevented the company from tak- ing any fur seals on the Pribylof Islands, in Alaska, during the year cnded April 1, ISM. The claim is rejected not on its merits, but on the ground that the auditor has no jurisdiction to hear and audit claims for unlimited damages such as cp- pears in this claim. A long line of author- ics in support of this ruling is cited. This claim was rejected some time ago by the courts, on the ground that it first must be submitted to the treasury accounting officers for their decision. The auditor's ruling, therefore, will probably result in the case being again sent to the courts. =a: Certainty. From the Chicago Record. Smith—“Thank goodness!
