Most of Them Are In Favor of ”Endorsing Brynn, but Many Are Opposed to the Plan—The Meyement For Towne. Other Political Gossip. ST. LOUIS, July 91.—This is emphatical- ly the “bolting season” in politics. The bolt of the silver men from the Republican convention and the belt of the gold men from the Democratic convention have set afloat some talk of a bolt from. the Populist convention in case the element favoring the indorsement of the Democratic ticket obtains supremacy. News reaches here from Chicago that a subscription paper is already going the rounds among the hotel and railroad people there, with a view to raising the guarantee fund of $1,500 neces- sary to bring the bolting convention to their city in case one is held. The small- ness of this amount has caused many per-. sons to discredit the story, but those who believe it explain that the delegates who will do the bolting are, as a rule, men of some means, and that all they need is the money to pay for some incidental expenses. They say that one day would suffice to fin- ish up the work, which would be all laid out before the opening of the first session. , Although Senator Teller is standing con- sistently up to the position he took while the result at" Chicago was still a matter of. doubt and is publicly urging everybody who believes in free silver to support the Democratic candidate, he does not com- mand the following which he may have ex- pected. The men who bolted the Repub- lican convention in his company were full of enthusiasm to vote for him as the silver union candidate, but-they ware not equal- ly prepared to go over in a body to any- body else. Their expectation was to make Teller the nominee of the Democratic con- vention by frightening the Democrats into the belief that he was the only candidate who could surely be elected. The plan did not work. It goes against the grain still with Teller people to accepts. candidate whom they had no share in naming, and although the silver convention will undoubtedly indorse Bryan there are a goodly number of mal- contents in it who would rather do almost anything else. Among these men there has been some talk of young Charles Towns, the ex-Re- publican representative in congress from Minnesota. Towns is personally popular at home, and his townspeople gave him a fine reception without distinction of party when he returned from St. Louis after the bolt of. a month ago. This demonstration, which was really without political signifi- cance and intended as a neighborly 60m- pliment, caused many observers tosupposc that the Republican party in Minnesota was badly honeycombed with silver senti- ment. The silverites who want to show their dislike for Bryan and wish to take up Towns are now trusting to thestrength he may show in the Populist convention, as the Minnesota delegation in that body will vote for him as a matter of state pride and will try hard to get other votes for him. The Middle of the Bond Men. The “middle of the road” Populists, as those are called who are averse to fusions and compromises, are led by Chairman Taubeneck of the national committee. He goes so far in his opposition to the indorse- ment of Bryan as to predict that if this plan be carried out Bryan will be beaten by the more stay at home vote of the Pop- ulists in some of the western states, as not much more than half the party could be brought out to his support. Senator Pefier feels as Taubeneck does as far as concerns any plan for making the Populist party a more tender to the Democrats He consid- ers that the first duty of his own party is to maintain and strengthen its organiza- tion, but, that accomplished, he would like to have some arrangement made, he does not seem to have any idea how, for uniting all the silver forces under one standard for the campaign. The Texas delegation, which numbers 95 members, are said to be a unit against Bryan’s indorsement. and they freely cir- culate the statement that nothing short of a straight Populist ticket on a straight Populist platform will satisfy them. About 400 other Southern delegates are claimed for the same view as a starter. Delegate Gilstrap of California says that his state will stand solidly with the south, opposing any plan for playing tail to the Democratic kite. “We want Populism or nothing, ” said be. ”Not one in a hundred of our California Populists could be in- duced to vote for Bryan.” 0n the other hand, a majority of the newspaper organs of the Populists are gen- erally on the side of fusion, and it is be- lieved that they not only mirror the senti- ment at large in this party, but will have a large influence in breaking into the solid anti-Bryan ring, although there are indi- vidual defections showing the trend of things. .. Of course, no well regulated convention nowadays would be complete without a contest over seats, and the state of Colorado leads out with one. The "two factions are known as the Southworth delegation, with which ex-Governor Waite is connected, and the Patterson delegation, which South- worth’s people denounce as composed of Democrats ‘and not Populists. The Pet- terson delegates, it is charged, were elected at a convention packed by the railroad in— terests in Colorado, which supplied passes to the men who would do their bidding, whereas the opposition were generally too poor to pay the heavy fares charged in that state, and therefore could not get to the convention. A spicy debate is looked for when these two delegations come into col- lision before the conventon. There is also an Illinois contest of some asperity, but less picturesque than the one in Colorado. Besides the Populist and silver conven- tions there will be a convention of the Di- rect Legislation league and a national oo- operative congress in St. Louis this week. The dates of these last named gatherings were set coincidently with the dates of the others, since so many Populists are inter. ested in the Diredt Legislation and the co- operative organizations and can serve as . delegates to two or more conventions at once. * Tanbeneck Not Absolute; Mr. Taubeneck has not been successful in holding the members of the executive committee of the Pepulist national com- mittee in line for an independent‘nomina- tion by the Populist convention. George F. Washburn- of Massachusetts, one of - them, is out on a statement unequivocally declaring for the indorsement of Bryan, in which he says: , “It is the first Opportunity the American people have had to render a verdict on the : chosen secretary and instrume .The’letter-‘says in part: "it . .._._...-. "an, money question. Fer a year we have been advocating a union of silver forces. I still adhere to that plan. To unite means suc~ cess; to divide means defeat. Mr. Bryan lndorsed the Pepulists in Nebraska.‘ It is our duty to stand by him now. It is far' better for us to win on’itwo or three of our principles than to suffer constant defeat on them all. ' ,5, “Mr. Bryan represents the highest type of American citizenship. He is able, hon- est, sincere and true and believes thor- oughly in the leading principles we advo-. cats. 5 ' g “The Chicago platform, while it doe not go as far as. we would like, is a long stride in our direction and is so radical a departure that the Democratic goldbugs openly call it a Populist platform and Mr. Bryan a Populist candidate. Now if this be true, why should we join these gold- bugs in refusing to support a candidate and platform which is all our way? The peOpie will indorse. Bryan whether we do or not, and with a fair chance he will SWeep the country. . “To nominate a separate ticket is to in- vite disaster. We would lose a million sil- ver Republicans who are sure to support Mr. Bryan. This, together with other less- es. would result in reducing the party vote so greatly as to completely discourage our party following. If we merge our vote, we fail to reveal any such loss and our people would be in fighting trim for the next campaign. “We can unite or not on state and minor offices and inculcate a better feeling every- where. It is not for men, but for princi- ples, we contend. Therefore let usshow it like patriots at the opportune time. While a whole nation cries out for financial free- dom let us close in ‘shoulder to shoulder and march to victory.’ ” Chairman Jones at \Vork. Senator 'Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic national committee, ate an early breakfast at the Planters’ Mon- day with Governor Stone and at 9 o’clock repaired to his parlor to receive callers. Scores of cards Were in his room when he got back to it, and he began immedi- ately to have his visitors ushered in. Senator Stewart of Nevada was one of the first admitted, and close on the heels of the Nevadan followed Colonel Thomas Patterson, the Populist leader of Col- orado. At 10 o’clock the prospects were that Senator Jones would be engaged all day in private conferences with Populist leaders. He said: “I hope the Populist conven- tion will indorse Bryan and Sewail, and since I arrived here I have received a good deal of encouragement of that hope. It oc- curs to me that everybody who believes in the free coinage of silver can with per- fect good grace and confidence vote for our nominees and thus assure the restoration of bimetallism at the earliest possible date. Asked about the appointment of the ex- ecutive committee. for the management of the campaign, Senator Jones said: ”I have given that matter a great deal of thought, but have not yet determined on the selections. So many vast interests have to be consulted in a matter of this kind that progress is necessarily slow. And besides the committee does not have to be made up until the candidates have been officially notified of their nomination. Then, too, I'am not confined to the mem- bership of the national committee in choos— ing the executive committee, but can go outside of that organization entirely if such a course is considered advisable.” 0n the subject of the location of the ex- ecutive committee headquarters he was not very explicit. : “I have not selected Washington as ported," he said, “and have expressed a preference for no location. In fact, I doubt that the selection will be left to my judg- ment, but I am inclined to think that the executive committee, when choeen, will make it. ” Governor Stone, who, it is understood, will be amember of the executive commit- tee, expressed a very decided preference for Chicago. “My personal choice, of course, would be St. Louis,” said the governor, “but consideration of interests of vaster concern incline me to Chicago. Certainly the head- quarters must be in the west. And as Chi- cago is of- easier access to the battleground my choice is that city.” Nebraska For Index-cement. Some of the members of the Nebraska delegation, among them Senator Allen, to- day prepared the following statement: “The Nebraska delegation is a unit for Bryan. They know him well. His life has been a fulfillment rather than a more promise. We know his high character and eminent fitness for the office of president. He is our neighbor, and we are not do- ceived in him. If elected, he will be the greatest man that has occupied the White House since the days of Lincoln, and in his broad and genuine sympathy for the masses he more nearly resembles Mr. Lin- coln than any public man We can recall. The nomination of a third ticket would be the exact equivalent of a. genuine indorse- ment of McKinley, the single gold stand- ard, an abominably high tariff tax, con- tinued gold bond issues, a perpetual na- tional debt, cruel and heartless corpora- tions for the west four years and possibly for all time. If elected president, Mr. Bryan will know no Democrat, no Popu- list, no Republican. There will be no step- children in his political family. All who have been with the united reform forces in the fight will be on an equal footing. He will be the people’s president. Ne- braska is for Bryan.” This enthusiastic statement coming from the Populists of Bryan’s own state attract- ed most attention. The Nebraska delega- tion is thoroughly organized and is doing missionary work among the “middle of the road” Populists. 5 ”We want to show them, ” said Senator Allen, “where the middle of the road is.” Jerry Simpson’s Opinion. Fix-Congressman Jerry Simpson, who is a very shrewd observer, is strongly of the opinion that Bryan and Sewall will be in- dorsed. “The issue is paramount,” said he, “and men dare not play politics at such a time as this. If this convention should refuse to indorse Bryan, the Popu- list party would not contain a corporal’s guard in November. Honest indorsement is the only salvation of the party. So far as Kansas is concerned, it matters not what this convention does. We will in- dorse Bryan and vote for silver.” George W. Brewster of Falls City. Nob., who is the Populist candidate for con- gress, is here urgently advocating Bryan’s nomination or indorsement. California Populists to Bryan. KANSAS Cm, July BIA-While en route to the national Populist convention, the California delegation, 39 strong. issued an open letter to the Democratic presidential nominee, William J. Bryan, urging him to go before the country as the nominee of . the Populist party. The letter was com- posed and dispatched while the delegation was waiting for, its train to St. Louis. Dr G. W. Dawalt of San Premier": " sing: l '5'“ '(i ll ‘Fo-fl'f'“ ’- 1. ,1. aeptthe nomination of the People’s Party, dcclaring-you'rself‘a Populist, you will be- come a leader to whom will rush every re-x I , former—be he silverite, Democrat or Rs- publican—and not only be elected your- 5 ~ - self, but alsopelect the congress, the law- making power.

Can you thus be elected?” A Socialist-Labor Platform. . ' Bos'ron, July 21.—-A special from Man- chester, N. H., says: The Socialist-Labor party of New Hampshire convened here today. Louis Arnstein and George Keller '0: this city and Charles F. Blanchard of Concord were chosen presidential electors. H. H. Acton of the local cigar makers’ union was nominated for governor and Benjamin Whitehouse of Dover for con- gressman in the First district. A platform and resolutions were adopted. The stand on the money question was as follows: “The evils from which the people suffer are not caused by any monetary standard. The present financial struggle is simply a fight between two sets of capitalists and as far as workingmen are concerned it can make no difference whether they be cruci- fied on a gold or silver cross. on money can in no way bring relief to the workingmen while wage slavery exists. ” Major McKinley Goes to Cleveland. CANTON, 0., July 21.'-There was no blots of trumpets or pretenslon of formal- ity of office when Major McKinley started on his trip to Cleveland today. It was a damp, rainy morning in. Canton. It was first intended that Major and Mrs. Mc- Kinley should leave for Cleveland at 9:55. The major’s mail, however, has assumed such enormous proportions that he found it impossible to leave at that time. He was engaged with Private Secretary Boyle during thermorning, endeavcring to take care of thei-‘thousands of letters that had reached him Saturday evening and Sunday. Shortly after noon his one horse surrey was driven to the station, where he 1and Mrs. McKinley took the flier for Cleve- and. California Labor Mien Against Free Silver. SAN Fransisco, July 21.—~The Cali- fornia Federal Labor convention has adopt- ed a platform protesting against the free coinage of silver on the ground that such action would be class legislation,inasmuch, as alleged, as it would benefit the debtor class at the expense of capital. ANTONIO MAOEO ANGRY. He Wants to Revenge Bis Brother's Death Upon General Garcia. HAVANA, July 21,—Antonio Maoeo is reported to be in a frenzy of rage over the death of his brother Jose, who, according to the latest statements made, was shot by order of Calixto Garcia for insubordina- tion. Antonio Macao, who is in the prov- ince of Pinar del Rio, wants to cross the Spanish trocha at all hazards and to sum- mon all the colored men among the insur- gents to aid him in avenging the death of Jose upon Garcia. , An adventurous insurgent captain has furnished a topic of amazed comment for residents of Havana. This person, who was wounded and captured at the time Guines was surrendered to the Spaniards, was liberated after his wound had healed and returned to fight with the insurgents. The ball, however, was not extracted, and its presence caused an ulcer which inca- pacitated the officer. Not having skilled surgical aid within reach, he made his way to Havana, where he put himself—un- der the care of Dr. Casuso and submitted himself as a subject at the doctor’s public clinic. .After undergoing a shccessful operation he confessed his identity and surrendered himself to the authorities. The authorities at Artemisa 'haveubeen warned that the insurgent leader, Freder- ico Nunez, has had. a large force of men at work for several days filling in the ditches which drained lowlands inpo the Limcnez .river, which stream flows past Artemisa. The purpose was to cause an overflowof the river and the flooding of the town dur- ing the cyclone season. The plan has been frustrated. A Preventive of Army Worms. ROME. N. Y., July 21.-—Charies H. Saul- paugh, who owns several farms near Home, has discovered a remedy for the extermina- tion of the army worm. On some worms he tried kerosene oil, but it did not meet the desired and, neither did alcohol. He then tried salt, and the worms curled up and died. He has caused a windrow of salt to be placed about his grainfields, and they are now free from the worms. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Closing Quotations of the New York Stock _ Exchange. New Yoax.
