At thetime | I wrote no meeting of the association had been held, but later in the day there was a | meeting of dramatic interest held. Pow- | erful speeches were made by General Paul | Vandervoort of Nebrasks, Ignatius Don- | nelly of Minnesota, Cyclone Davis of | Texas, and other men of National reputa- tion, in defiance of the “‘gonedaft” Bryan- ite policy and in defense of a straight Popu- | list ticket on a clear-cut up-to-date Popu- i list platform. | In order to crystallize this sentiment, in | which there seemed to be entire unanim- ity, and givi due form and expression, a | committee of three was appointed to sub- | mit to the association to-day at 10 o’clock | for consideration and zdoption an ad-| dress to the people. The meeting of the association to-dav was held at the head- quarters of the Texas delegation. Thead- dress reported by the committee was read | and a motion to adopt promptly followed. | After an animaied but brief discussion, it | was almost unanimously carried. My time has been occupied this after- noon and evening with the work of select- ing committees by the California delega- tion. John 8. Dore was elected chairman of the delegation, Mr, Buttner secretary and treasurer; committee of conference to work for a union of reform forces—T. V. Cator, Taylor Rogers and W. A. Vann; | committee of one on' credentials, E. M. Warda!l; on order of business, Frank Mc- Guire; on permanent organization, J. G. Burnett; on platform and resolutions, Joseph Asbury Johnson. In the course of the five hours’ session the sentiments of the delegates on party policv became generally known. There are thirty-three in attendance, seven of whom favor some form of union with the Bryan Democracy. Cator and Vann of the tonference are favorable to Bryan and Rogers is for a straight Populist nomimna- tion. JOSEPH ASBURY JOHNSON. - - DELEGATIONS DIVIDED. Some Southern Populists Can In- dorse Bryan, but Not the Whole Democratic Ticket. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 21.—Thomas Pat- terson of Denver, who was to-day selected as the chairman of the Colorado delega- tion, thinks that the drift is now for both Bryan and Sewail, and that the Demo- | cratie ticket will be endorsed by the con- vention. Mr. Patterson expisined to his Colorado colieagues when they went into secret session, that he had now learned, being several days on the ground, that there were two apparently irreconcilable alements here—those who were de- termined to nominate a straight ticket and those who felt that the salvation of the party depended on the endorsement of Bryan and Sewall. He detailed the various propositions that have been suggested as a compro- mise, but expressed the belief that the adoption of either would lead to the charge of jobbery, or result in the deliberate assassination of Sewall, and that that cold not be tolerated. The North Carolina Populists last night completed their organization. They favor nominating Goodwin, the present candi- date for Governor of Alabama. for Vice- President. No vote on the Presidency question has been taken by them. Mr. George F. Gaither of Alameda says he does not know whether or not Captain Kolb is correctly reported in the interview printed this morning as to his personal desire to ses Bryan nominated, but be knows that the statement imputed to the captain that he will or can deliver the | Alabama deleeation is not correct. If the | Bryan men will make M. Goodwin their candidate for Vice-President they will vote for Bryan, but they are not *ready ro ‘stomach the whole Democratic ticket.” ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

REPUBLICANS T0 TAKE THE STUMP, Many Brilliant Orators to Labor With the West. SOUND-MONEY TALKERS. Ex-President Harrison Will Make Short-Trip Speeches From a " Special Train. CALIFORNIA NEEDS ATTENTION Suggestion That Protection Shou'd Be Made the Issue Here to Insure Party Victory. CHICAGO, ILvL., July 21.—Ex-Congress- man Benjamin Butterworth of Ohio and William E. Mason of Chicago have been added to the party of stump-speakers who will open the Republican campaign with sound-money speeches in Nebraska the first week of August, thence proceeding through Minnesota, the Dakotas and into Washington and Oregon, dealing exclus- ively with the money issue according to the campaign policy agreed on by the ex- ecutive committee for the Western States during the first half of the battle for votes. The orators will travel together in the large towns and separate in the agricul- tural regzions and small towns. The party leaders in Indiana will, through Executive Committeeman Daur- | bin, send an urgent request to Benjamin Harrison in his summer retreat in the | Adirondacks to reconsider his refusal to | open the campaign in that State about the | middle of August, and consent to make one of his famous short-talk trips through Indiana from the platform of a special train. He will also be asked to continue this train speech-making through Ohio and Pennsylvania on his return to his mountain home. The ex-President has formally consented to take the stnmp} from the 1st of October until the eve of | election day. Perry S. Heath, chief of the Depart- | ment of Publicity and Printing of *he Re- | nublican National Committee, asked the United Press to-day to announce that the department desired to keep on file at head--| quarters in the Auditorium building here | all sound-money D>mocratic and Repub- lican newspapers. and publishers are asked to send copies to him. A clipping bureau | will be establ's ed so as to keep up with | paign in all directions. | Jules Guthridge of the United Press staff in Washington, D. C., has been appointed the Eastern press agent of the National | Committee. All the campaign matter will | | be printed here and sent to the New York | | beadquarters for _disiribution. Major | | Charies Dick of Cleveland will come to | headguariers here this week to act as sec- | retary of the committee. The roster of the finance committee, | whicn is to have the collection and dis- tribution of campaign funds for the West- | ern headquarters, was made public to-day by Samuel W. Allerton after a conference | with National Committeeman Jamieson. | There are 103 members, bankers and capi- talists being largely represented. Mr. Al- lerton is likely to be made chairman at to- | morrow’s megting. | A letter was received at the Republican | League headquarters from President Kin- | ney of the California League, admitting | that the silver sentiment was almost over- | wheiming among the three parties, and | that there was absolutely no enthusiasm | among Republicaus, although a few cam- paign clubs had been formed. Protection must be made the party issue in tbat State to avoid Democratic victory. i A league worker in Burlingame, Kans., | wrote to the secretary: -“Nothing but a | vigorous educational campaign and un- ceasing toil in the way of personal work will ever save Kansas this year.” All the Westeru letters indicate that the people of the prairies are talking money and nothing else political. Among the letters received at the gold Democrats’ headquarters was one from Fraok Snyder, chairman of the Nemaha County Democratic Central Committee of Nebraska, stating that the new-conven- tion sentiment prevailed among the Demo- crats of that State, and that Bryan’s fol- lowers had always been too closely allied to the Populists to be considered Demo- crats. ARETS T McKINLEY AT CLEVELAND. Attends the Centennlal Celebration and Receives at the Hanna Resldence. CLEVELAND, Osro, July 21.—Major McKinley made a number of calls this afternoon and received at Mr. Hanna's residence the Mayor of Hartford, Conn., and the members of the Common Council of that city. Wednesday is Founders’ day and the most important events connected with the opening ot the Centennial celebration will take place. There will be a number of speeches in the morning. The orator of the day is Senator Hawley of Connecticut, who will deliver a historical oration. Short speeches will be made by Major McKinlev, Senator Sherman, Governor Bushnell, Governor Coffin of Connecticut and James H. Hoyt. In the afternoon there will be an elab- orate parade and at night a historical pageant of stately proportions made of artistic and beautifui floats. ‘D Senator Sherman arrived this afternoon and will have a long talk Wednesday with Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hanna about the campaign. Heis of the opinion that it should be opened at once. Senator Sher- man thinks the silver sentiment is pretty widespread among the farmers in many parts of the Western and Central States. His mail, which is uncommonly volumin- ous, is chiefly composec of letters asking for information on the money question, and he is led 10 befieve that the people are thinking a great deal about it. He thinks a very large number of speak- ers should be set to work at once, and has moze faith in speakers and newspapers as educators than in heavy campaign litera- t ture. Senator Sherman savs that while the silver craze is a good deal discussed and has many spokesmen it can be stamped out if a vigorous campaign of education be waged against it, Major McKinley received information this evening that the delegates to the Na- tional Glass-blowers' Convention, now in | Russia for India, and as England is their | common antagonist in these aspirations session at Pittsburg, have decided to make bim a visit at Canton Saturday morning. He will return to Canton to receive them. —_——— NATIONALISTS SURPRISED. Charles E. Bentley, Candidate for President, Dampens Thelr Free Coinage Ardor. COLUMBUS, Omio, July 21.—Charles E. Bentley of Lincoln, Neb., can {idate of the Nationalist party for President of the Unitea States, threw a damper on the free coinage lr_dor of the delegates to the Nationalist Sta Convention here to-night in an ddress. He passed over the free silver plank of the party’s National platform with but a slight allusion, though the | reference was cheered to the echo, show- ing that the convention was in strong sympathy with the plank, aud closed his address with an wnvitation to members of the ola parties who Were wavering to join the Nationatists. “We have been called a free-silver . said he, “‘and it is true that free silver, in one sense, is in the platform, but our great and vrincipal plank, and the one upon which we particularly ask others to join us, is that which declares ugainst “the traffic in intoxicating liquors.”” He paid high compliments to Bryan and McKinley. S The resolutions committee is in session to-night. The platform agreed upon favors the enfranchisement of women; free coin- age of silver at 16 to 1; Government owne: ship of railways and telegraphs: raisin, of all revenues by t1xes on property an incomes, and a tariff only for protecsion; the protection of all citizens in the observ- ance of any day they choose as Sunday; teaching only the English language in the ublic schools; the election of President, %ioe—x’rasident and United States Senators by direct vote of the people; stricter natur- alization laws and lower salaries for public officials. It demands the abolishment of the convict contract labor system and de- clares against alien ownership of land. -—— Congressional Nominations.

Y., July 21.—A special cable dispatch to the Sun from London says: A dispatch from Hamburg to the Sun London office says that the following is an authorized expression of Prince Bismarck’s views on the pending European crisis: “The English policy is governed by anxiety about the conflict which England must fight out with Russia and France. France is striving for the Soudan and they are natural allies even without a | treaty. *‘Egypt is of great strategic importance to Encland’s position both in the Soudan and in India and is, therefore, now the pivot of British policy, the anxieties of | which have been not a little enhanced by | Russia’s recent attitude toward the | Egyptian question. “England will not give up Egypt, but does not feel herself a match lox%uauil and France, and is, therefore, casting about for help hitherto, and let us hope in the future, in vain, so far as Germany and Austria-Huneary ure concerned. *‘But the British are tormented by an anxiety. They now believe entirely in the unassailability of their European island empire, for whereas many things have changed eisewhere in the last decade, Eugland’s system of defenseis still the same us in Wellington’s time. ‘It suffices for her non-European coun- tries. In view of the world-wide extent of her interests she mnust have more ships on foreign coasts than Russia and France. But the power or powers which preponder- ate where the conflict must be decided— thai is, in the English Channel and the North Sea—will be victorious. “The French channel fleet alone is already a match for the English, and its junction with the Russian Baltic fleet would put an end to England’s suneriority in the waters in which the conflict must be decided. “*Add to this that her insular position involves the danger of being starved out by an enemy so that she must uncondi- tionally surrender if a_ victorious hostile fleet should succeed in cutting off her supplies. “England has not ignored this danger and is, therefore, working diligently at the task of increasing her navy to such an extent that it will be superior underall circumstances. If she maintains her su- periority at sea her antagonists must try o convert the sea war as quickly as pos- sible into a land war and toseek a decision where all the nerves of the world-wide em- pire meet, that is in London.” g THE WANING GOLD RESERVE. Action of the New York Bankers Is a Sowree of Relisf. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—The treasury gold reserve at the close of busi- ness to-day stood $89,603,865. The day's withdrawals were $164,000. There was no information for publica- tion at the Treasury regarding the con- | templated action of the New York banks in coming to the relief of the Treasury. | Acting Secretary Curtis said he had no “‘official information” to give out. The treasury has about $8,000,000 in United States notes and about $36,000,000 in Sherman notes and could . readily exchange $20,000,000 of these for eold. Both classes of notes are re- deemable in go'd on presentation, so that if the New York banks exchange gold for them and later on they desire gold, all that is required is to present them to the treasury for redemption and they will get gold ror them. HOW ME. CAKNEGIE STANDS, Prefers Free Trade and Sound Money to Protection and Silver. LOUISVILLE, Kv., July 21.—Some two months ago an interview with Carnegie appeared, in which he took strong grounds against free silver, saying that he would rather have free trade and sound money than protection and free silver. Captain George C. Norton of this city wrote Mr. Carnegie a connrnumor)vl letter, in which he suggested, however, that Mr. Carnegie ought to suggest to his party that they should disaporove the wanton extrava- gance of the river and harbor bill. His reply has just been received and is as foliows: | 1 CLUNY CASTLE, KINGusst, N.

Men of Several Parties Join in the Reception of the Boy Orator. COMPLIMENTS ARE EXCHANGED The Nominee of the Silver Democrats Says That McKinley Is Even as Great as Himself. OMAHA, Nesr., July 21.—William J. Bryan was given a rousing reception by Omaha people to-night. He left Lincoin at 6:05 o’clock over the Burlington and reached Omaha just before 8 o’clock, after a trip without incident. He traveled on an accommodation trainin an ordinary coach and bought his ticket at Lincoin like other passengers. At the Union station here a thousand people were assembled and as the train came to a standstill and the nominee stepped from the car plat- form the crowa let itseif loose and cheered him to the echo. With the assistance of the reception committee and the volice, Mr. Bryan was escorted through the packed masses of humanity to an open ¢arriage drawn by four horses, and seated in this beside Mayor Broach, chairman of the reception committee, he was driven through the streets leading to the place where the formal reception occurred. A military band headed the procession and following Mr. Bryan’s carriage came sev- eral tally-ho coaches and other vehicles crowded with young men blowing tin horns of all sizes and of all degrees of in- harmonious ability. A great many people were lined along the streets through which the procession passed and these were not baekward in cheering for tbe nominee. The reception given Mr. Bryan at Doug- lass and Fiiteenth streets, where the | speakers’ stand had been erected, was full of enthusiasm. Between 4000 and 5000 people, and this is a conservative estimate, had gathered there awaiung the appear- | ance of the Silver-Democratic nominee. They crowded the connecting streets, north, south, east and west, packed solialy together, and many were framed in the windows of the neighboring buildings, The cheering was continuous from the time Mr. Bryan’s carriage reached the out- skirts of the assemblage until after he had taken his seat on the platform. Judge Doane, a prom:nent Democrat, opened the proceedings in a little speech complimen- tary of Mr. Brvan, in which he said: *‘We have'assembled here to-night to do honor to our fellow-citizen, Mr. Bryan. | We have come here to show our respect, regard and love for him, and I see by the large number of our Republican friends present that they are not afraid to face an ‘anarchist.” [Laughter.] Whatever may be thought of the ‘mob’ which nominated him, I can assure you you need not fear nim” [Laughter and cheers.] Mayor Broach, who is a Republican, fol- Jowed with baef remarks introducing Mr. He said the meeting was non- partisan, and managed to tell some nice things oi the Democratic nominee. Then Mr. Bryan appeared and the cheer- ing was renewed. Hats were waived in the air, handkerchiefs were flitteg and the | ear-spliting horns were tooted ‘with all the power of potent langs. The platform was erected at one corner of the cross- streets. It was decorated with flags, and a big pictare of the nominee hung ina conspicuous place. The railing of the stand was rather high, so Mr. Bryan mounted a table, and in the conspicuous position this gave him he made a short speech, from which political issues were omitted. Mr. Bryan said: Mr. Mayor, ladies and gentlemen: longed dleen.k The phrase which was used & moment ago by a genileman in the distance (reterring to a cry of “Hurrah for silver”), isa phrase that has been quite common and it tes- tifies to the interest which in the campaign upon whic tering. 1 need not say to you that I am deeply touched by the manifestations of gooa will which have been exhibited here ana else- where. since the nomination fell to me.

We know that truth, if it is defeated for the time, cannot be defeated ex- cept temporarily. We know that there is nothing omnipotent but truth, and we rejoice to know, if in error, that our cause will be de- feated and that truth shall come to us for our enjoyment even it goes againstcur will.

At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Bryan stepped down_from his lofty perch, but almost immediately came jorward again and told the assemblage that his | arm was pretty tired, but he would be lad to shake hands with his friends as | ong as it held out. Many hundred peo- ple took advantage of the 'invitation, and for an hour and a halt the nominee went through the tryqu ordeal. Thisrcception was conveyed to the Paxton Hotel, where e spent the night. 2 To-morrow afternoon Mr. Bryan will go to Council Bluffs, Iowa, across the river from Omaha, 2nd atter making an address there will return to Lincoln. = R TOR HOKE SMITH FOR BRYAN. The Wavering Secretary of the In- | terlor Finally Deciares Him- self for the Nebraskan. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—Secre- tary of the Interior Hoke Smith took him- self out of the doubtful column this hfter- noon. His paper, the Atlanta Journal, comes out in an editorial pledging itself to support the Bryan and Sewall ticket. It is plain that Mr. Smith lacks the cour- | age to bolt, and with his snpport of the regular ticket Georgia, the leading busi- ness State of the South, may as well be stricken from the list of Southern States | that would give any support to a third ticket movement. Secretary of State Olney has leit the city without confiding to any one the goal of | his journeyings. It is known, however, that he has gone to see the President and | to discuss with him the Venezuelan affair and incidentally to talk over the daily dwindling prospect for a successiui launching of the third ticket. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin has constituted himself the spon- sor for the third-ticket boom and he has retired to the- seashore, where, supplied | with buge volumes of statistics and sound- money arguments, he will prepare the cali to the disgruntied Democracy to elect dele- He reflected honor upon the peo- | With nothing but zeal for a canse to commend me | cheering.] Isav that young men may | ————— expected, however, from Mr. Hamlin’s call to arms. Postmaster-General Wilson still remains silent. - The critical illness of Justice Field of the Supreme Court makes a vacancy on the bench one of the possibilities of the near future. Justice Field sought all his life to outlive the contingency that Mr. Cleveland mignt appoint his successor, but it appears that fate will defeat him at last. It is believed that the appoint- ment. will go to Mr. Wilson or Mr. Car- lisle. Hence it is not to be expected of these two gentlemen that he will be particularly vociferous in voicing his atti- tude to the Democratic ticket. They are between two fires. After the appointment | by the sound money President comes con- firmation by the free silver Senate. If either gentleman comes out for Bryan and | Sewall too pointedly he will offend the President and fail to get the appointment. 1%, on the other hand, he bolts the tickat, he will offend the Senate and will thus fail to be contirmed. “For,” said a very prominent Demo- cratic Senator this afternoon, “‘we will look upon every member of the Cabinet who is not with us as against us, and we will certainly refuse to confirm any one of them whom Mr. Cleveland appoints to the S_uEreme bench if he bolts the Democratic ticket.” ot i G FOR BRYAN AND SEWALL. Two Republican Newspapers of Montana Desert the Candidates of the Party. BUTTE, Moxt., July 2.—The Butte Inter-Mountain (R.), owned by United States Senator Lee Mantle, is out with a repudiation of the McKinley and Hobart ticket, and declares for Bryan acd Sewall on the silver question. 1t says: “Logicaily, consistently and honestly, if they believe in silver and not gold, the great majority of Republicans in Montana will support Bryan and Sewall. They can pursue no other course. Montana Repub- licans think not less of protection, but more of silver, and they bave intellizence enough to understund that there is as much protection for all the products of | buman toil in silver as there is in a tanff.” The Madison of Virginia City, Mont., | the oldest Republican paper in the State, also declares for Bryan and Sewall. Hartman Visits Bryan- LINCOLN, NEBR., July 2L.—Representa- tive Hartman of Montana arrived in Lin- coln to-day from Denver and had a con- ference with Mr. Bryan. He told a United Press representative that he knew the Democratic nominee very well and had come to assure him of support. Mr. Hart- man was one of the silver Republicans who bolted the St. Louis convention with Senator Teller. He worked for Mr. Teller at the Democratic Convention, but says | he will work just as hard to elect Bryan. | He predicted that Montana would give a majority of 30,000 for the Democratic nom- inee for President and would elect a Re- publican Governor and State officers. e Bryan Is Gratified. OMAHA, NEBR., July 2L.—Mr. Bryan is very much . gratified at the action of the silver Republicans. The gentlemen who signed the address published this morning are all personal friends with whom he | served in Congress. Knowing their devo- tion to the cause of bimetallism he has en- tertained no doubt as to their cordial sup- port. The address as published in some of the papers did not include the name of Consressman Charles Towne of Minnesota, vut Mr. Bryan was informed to-day that Mr. Towne had authorized his name to be signed to the address. ———— South Dakota for Bryan. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 21.—The South Dakota delegation organized to-night and | resolved to support Mr. Bryan for Presi- | dent, but declined to indorse Mr. Sewall gates 1o a new convention. Nothing is | for second place on the ticket. | NEW TO-DAY.
