Next Week—Congress- man Towne Not Renominated. Other Political Causerie. LINCOLN, Neh., July 18.—Lincoln ls gayly decorated in honor of the home com- ing of Candidate Bryan. The finishing touches were put on and the details com- pleted for the demonstration. A delegation left to meet Bryan at Table Rock, 50 miles southeast, and act as an ce- cort to the ‘city. There was very little speechmaking. A brief address of welcome and congrat- ulation was made at the depot, to which Bryan responded. Carriages were then provided, and the nominee and his family were taken to their home, near the. state capitol building, for a short rest. After supper Mr. Bryan reviewed the parade from a stand erected in the business dis- trict, and later a formal reception was tendered in the rotunda of the capitol. The city was full of visitors who wished to take part in the parade and demonstra- tion, and . the crowd was the largest Lin- coln has ever entertained. Mayor Graham issued a proclamation calling on all city oflicers and employees to take part, so far as possible, and his order was generally observed. - Mr. Bryan, after a trip to Omaha, will remain quietly at his home for some time mapping out his plan of campaign—at least for Nebraska. The Republican state central committee held a meeting here and perfected an or- ganization. The plan to make Omaha the headquarters of the committee was aban- . doned in view of the new order .of things, and LinCOln was made the seat of cam- paign, the opinion of the committeemen being that this city would be the storm .center of political activity during the sum- mer and fall. . Bryan and the Populists. ST. LOUIS, July 18.—The battle between the factions of the Populist party is grow- ing fiercer and by next week will be at white heat. On one side it is a fight for the life of the organization. On the other it is a struggle to secure a compromise in 'favor of the Chicago candidate. So far no state convention has declared in favor of an uncompromising stand. The best that has been done has been the securing of uninstructed delegations. This is notably the'case at Little Rock, whither " Sergeant-at-arms McDowell went to pre- sent the argument approved by Chairman . Taubeneck.‘ McDowell said that he had presented the proposition to the Arkansas convention, and that, in his opinion, it had struck deep. ' A. D. Maxwell, the-Populist state chair- man in Illinois, said: ‘ _ “While it is true thata large majority of the Populists seem in favor of indorslng ,Bryan', it is with the belief that he will accept.the Populist platform and recognize the importance of the party both before and after the election.” . The leaders, he said, are not going to indorse Bryan. In spite of the strong showing made by the anti-Bryan wing, the prediction is freely made that it will be defeated when the, main body of thedelegates reach St. Louis. A dispatch from Omaha quotes V. O. Strickler, a member of the People’s Party national executive committee, as saying he believes Mr. Bryan will be indorsed at St. Louis. He thinks it the only thing to do, as the nomination of a separate ticket ° would divide the silver forces. An address, which was prepared under the direction of the national chairman, ' will be introduced at the coming conven- tion here. McDowell, Taubeneck and oth- ‘ers associated with them take the ground that party organization must. be preserved. .Taubeneck will make a hard fight on this line, but it is the opinion of some of the ghost informed Populists 'now here that he 'has waited too long to show his hand, and ,that he will be in the minority. The Tel- ler manifesto seems to have proved a boom- erang to Taubeneck. Dr. Mott appointedM. F. Bond of this city sergeant-at-arms of the silver conven- ticn._ Representative Francis E. Newlands of Nevada will probably be temporary chairman. On the 2lst, one day before the national silver convention meets, a state convention of silver men will be held here. It is not expected that any ticket will be put in the field. Eugene V. Debs’ Views. Trans 'HAUTE, July 18.—Eugene V. Debs said: “It is not true that I have ex- pressed any intention of supporting Mr. Bryan, although personally I have a high regard for that gentleman. I concede him to be a man of extraordinary ability and But I cannot sup- :port him unless by act of the convention of the People‘s Party he becomes the nom- inee of that party. So far as I am con- “.cerned, I am opposed to the People’s Party indorslng Mr. Bryan or the nominee of lany other party. I have quit the Demo- cratic party, and I shall never return to it. It' was given complete power and shamefully betrayed its trust and I am not willing to trust it again. The indorse- ment of the Democratic ticket by the Peel - ple’s Party would mean the dissolution of the latter. The silver issue I regard as of minor importance in comparison with ‘ some others for which the People’s Party stands. Free silver will not remedy the ills of which the people, and espeCially the workingmen, complain. . I hope to see the People’s Party convention declare in favor of a constitutional convention. “What is now required is a new organic law adapted to modern conditions and which cannot be adequately treated by amendments. The basic reform, in my opinion,ls that of direct government by the initiative and referendum, which would place this government in the hands of the people. The essential principles of , the Omaha platform should be reaffirmed, especially in‘relation toland and transpor- tation, and, so far as possible, private mo- . .nopolies should be suppressed.” ” For n Gold Convention In Missouri. ST. LOUIS, July 18.—Prominent gold ' standard Democrats of this city have taken the first step toward repudiating the ticket and platform of the Chicago con- vention. They have decided to issue a-cali , for a sonvention of the .gold standard Democracy of Missouri" to determine whether or not a third ticket shall be put in-the‘fleld, whether the fight for gold \ 'shall extend into the congressional dis- v .tricts and,,whether’the bolters shall come . out openly‘for McKinley and centralize .‘ 'their'eiforts, on, him. Colonel James O. Addresses were made and ‘a-resolution was adopted providing for the naming of a committee 'of seven by'Chairman Broad- head to send out a call for a conventionlof gold standard Democrats tobe held at an early date. Circulars will be sent all over the country to gold standard leaders ask- ing them to cooperate or be present at‘the meeting. ' Populists \Vho Oppose Bryan. RALEIGH, July 18.—The state of North Carolina will have more votes in the Pop- ulist national convention at St. Louis than any other state, having cast more votes for Weaver than any other state, the rep- resentation being treated according to the Populist vote at the last general election. These, North Carolina votes will cast solid- ly against the proposition to indorse Bryan. This action will be taken largely through the influence of Senator Butler, who is not without hopes of being the Populist can- didate for president if indorsement of Bryan can be prevented, and who can hold the North Carolina delegation against Democratic indorsement because of the blow it would inflict upon the Populist- Republican fusion in this state. A further reason why the Populist leaders oppose the indorsement of Bryan is that it would practically merge the Populist organiza- tion in that of the Democrats. SEX-Governor \Vaite n Contestant. DENVER, July 18.—Ex-Governor Waite will be present at the St. Louis Populist convention, but the leaders of the regular delegation take exception to the reports which have gone abroad that he is at the head of the Colorado delegation, as he is not even .3 delegate. At the Populist state convention held in Denver on July 4 he sought for admission to it as the head of a Denver delegation claimed to have been selected at a mass convention. The com- mittee on credentials rejected his claims by a vote of 39 to 9, and the convention. without a .dissenting vote, sustained the credentials committee. Governor Waite walked out of the convention at the head of his rejected delegates, all from Arapa- hoe county, and went to another hall, where they resolved themselves into anoth- er mass convention and went through the form of appointing delegates to St. Louis for the state. Sovereign Aiding Bryan. LITTLE Boon, July 18.—The Populist state convention, which “adjourned after nominating A. W. Files of Pulaski county forgovernor, was restrained from passing resolutions instructing the delegates to the St. Louis convention to vote against the indorsement of Bryan by a speech of Master Workman Sovereign, who warned the silver men that if they hoped for vic- tory they must work together. One or two of the speakers who preceded him and favored Bryan’s indorsement were howled down, and speakers who advocated a separate nomination had been loudly ap- plauded. At the conclusion of Sovereign’s speech the resolution, which is regarded as a Bryan victory, was passed with a shout. ' Mr. Whitney's Position. NEW YORK, July 18.—Mr. William 0. Whitney has issued a signed statement in which he denies a rumor that he favors in- dorsement of the Chicago ticket and plat- form by the state organization. Mr. Whit- ney says that there are no poSsible condi- tions or circumstances that would induce him to vote for it or assist it. Ex-ch- ernor R. P. Flower has returned to the city from his home in Watertown and is still outspoken in his opposition to the Bryan ticket. .The ex-governor is presi- dent of the Democratic club, and he says that a meeting of the club‘m’ay be called in a few days to repudiate the Chicago platform. ' " Senator Pritchard's Prediction. SALISBURY, N. 0., July 19.—United States Senator Pritchard (Rep) expresses the belief that McKinley will carry North Carolina regardless of a fusion of Demo- crats and Populists. He asserts that a tre- mendous Republican vote will be polled this year, as many menwill cast a ballot who have not done so before in years, be- lieving the state then to Be Democratic and their votes useless. The Populist convention of the Seventh congressional district elected delegates to the St. Louis convention. An effort was made to instruct for Bryan, but after a spirited debate the delegates were left un— instructed. California Populists Against Bryan. SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.—The Califor- nia delegates to the national Populistlo convention left this city. The delegation goes to the national convention strongly in favor of the nomination of a presiden- tial candidate who will stand as a Popu- list candidate rather than as a Democrat. The delegatesare opposed to Bryan on the ground that the platform which he has adopted is at variance with the Populistic ideas on several material points, notably as to the money plank and the govern- ment ownership of railroads. Indiana Congressional Nominations. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, July 18.—Robert J. Tracewell was nominated for represent- ative in congress by the Republicans of the Thii‘d district. The Democratic con- vention of the Fourth Indiana district at North Vernon nominated cx-Congressman W. -S. Holman on the sixth ballot for con- gross. Kansas Silver-nos For Bryan. TOPEKA, Kan., July 18.—The American Silver party state conventiOn, composed of over 300 delegates, representing four-fifths of the counties in the state, elected 60 del- egates to the national Silver convention at St. Louis and instructed them to vote as a unit for WilliamJ.

CLEVELAND, July 18.—One more body, that of a man which has not 'yet been identified, was recovered today from the river at the scene of last night’s disaster, making the total number of dead removed to the morgue 16. . ' , It is believed that there are still‘ several more bodies in the river, as at least three 1. men who were on' the boat have net yet been accounted for. 4 Weeping wives and widows besieged the I morgues throughout the day and looked on the faces of their dead ones or hunted among thegrewsome collections of cloth- ing, dinner pails and. other objects for some sign of those they feared were dead. Some of the bereaved mice did not learn of the accident till early this morning and at once hastened to the morgues hoping. against hope that their fears were ground- less. ‘ -‘ The life saving crew remained on dut all night, and as ,soon as daylight ap- peared they pressed a great number of boats into service. These were manned“by rivermen, who were previded with. grap- pling hooks and lines. They rowed up and down the river around the writ where the bodies were supposed to have gone down; -- At times their grappling hooks would become entangled in some Object at the bottom of the river and the men would cease rowing. The crowds on shore would press forward and await in breathless ex- pectancy the haulingv'in of the line. The books would bring to light nothing more than a piece of waterlogged-Wood. - After - the finding of the body today no further discoveries were made. ' ' : ~ List at the Dead.
