The Nebraska Candidate's Statement Ro- garding His Nomination by the Pop- ulists—Is as Yet Not Committed. Postconvention Gossip. ST. LOUIS, July 27. --.Many political ratherings have been held in the Mound City, but none more unique, exciting and enthusiastic than the national conyention of the People’s Party. After nearly a week of heat, turmoil and speechmaking, the convention completed its labors, ad- journed sine die, and the delegates have mainly returned to their homes. Notwithstanding the receipt of one or more telegrams from William J. Bryan declining to permit the use Of his name on the Populist ticket unless Arthur Sow- all was also indorsed, Bryan was formally nominated for president on the first ballot. ' The whole number of votes'cast was 1,375, of which Bryan received 1,042, Eugene V. Debs 8, S. F. Norton of Chicago 321, J. S. Coxey 1 and Ignatius Donnelly 3. The middle of the road men continued their fight against Bryan to the last. In view of the fact that the middle of the readers had been deserted by every one of their more prominent leaders, they cer- tainly put up a better fight than many at first anticipated. The Texans cast their solid 103 votes against Bryan. bama, California, lllinois, Indiana, Ken- tucky, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin Pops divided their votes, but they stuck fairly well to the middle of the road Tex- ans. The Bryan Message. The Populist convention just before ad- journment narrowly missed becoming the scene of what would in all probability have been the greatest sensation of its pro- ceedings. Governor Stone of Missouri and Delegate Patterson of Colorado were prel- ~ent as the representatives of Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic national com- mittee, with a long telegram from Mr. Bryan defining his position with reference to the Populist nomination in View of the refusal of the convention to indorse Mr. Sewall. Governor Stone was extremely anxious to read this document, but the privilege was denied him by Chairman Allen, and the convention was saved what would have been a very exciting and in- teresting scene. . The roll call of states on the presidential nomination was in progress and had pro- gressed so far as to make it quite certain, if nothing occurred to ohanne any of the votes already cast, that Mr. Bryan would be the presidential nominee of the conven- tion. There had been anxious inquiries during the entire day for messages from Mr. Bryan by many of the middle of the road men, and the Texas delegation went‘ so far as to wire him for a definition of his position. It is considered probable by many who were present that if the dis- patch had been read it might have changed the course of the nomination. Senator Allen took the position that it would at least create great confusion and much ex- citement, and that in view of all the cir- cumstances it would not be wise to have the message read. He also exerted his ut- most endeavors to suppress any reference to it in the proceedings and succeeded in doing so until the roll call had been com- pleted. The only mention of the matter was by Mr. Ashby of Texas, who, rising to a question of personal privilege, asked if any telegram was on the speaker’s table from Mr. Bryan defining Mr. Bryan’s at- titude. “There is none,” replied Senator Allen. “Has there been none?” asked Mr. Ashby. The senator replied that there had not been. Senator Allen, however, had received a message from Governor Stone, which was carried to him by Mr. Patterson, asking that the governor be given an opportunity toread the Bryan message. This request Mr. Allen twice refused to grant to Mr. Patterson. He also afterward refused it to Governor Stone. The governor went upon the plat- form and was informed in most direct terms that he would not be recognized. Governor Stone Displeased. This refusal apparently had the effect of displeasing both Mr. Stone and Mr. Pat- terson. The latter expressed the opinion that the convention was entitled to have Mr. Bryan’s attitude explained fully, as the dispatch would, he said, have explain- ed it, and he was greatly disappointed that this course was not pursued. The two gentlemen lingered in the rear of the hall until the nomination of Mr. Bryan was announced, and they went directly to a conference with Senator J ones. All the parties to the transaction refused to give the contents of the Bryan message or to go into any details of its purport. It is known, however, that it contained a num-« ber of replies from Mr. Bryan to inquiries made, of him over the wires by Senator Jones, and that it was a more elabOration of his short message of Friday night di- recting the withdrawal of his name be- cause of the refusal of the Populist con- vention to confer anomination upon Mr. Sewall, as it was about to do upon him- self. One of the parties to the conference said the dispatch was in no sensea declina tion or refusal of the nomination, and that no intimation was contained that Mr. Bryan would not accept. Senator Allen stated after the adjourn- ment of the convention that as the dis- patch was not addressed to him he had not even felt it incumbent to read it himself or read it to the convention. Further- more, he intimated that he was not pleased with the apparent wish of the Democrats to conduct the aflairs of the Populist con- vention. ' - General Weaver said there was nothing in the message which could in any way have changed Mr. Bryan’s relation to the Populist convention. Governor Stone’s Statement. Governor Stone, member of the Demo- cratic national committee for Missouri and the man who brought Bryan’s second telegram to the Populist convention, said: “The result of the Populist convention insures the election of William J. Bry n as president. It is certainly remarks 9 that a man should be nominated by three conventions, and the man who gets three nominations ought to be able to secure one election. It is plainly evident that there is a great popular "uprising of the people, in favor of Mr. Bryan. I would have pre- ferred 7 that the Ppoulist convention should have indorsed or nominated. the whole Democratic ticket, as it'wouid have greatly simplified matters in the coming campaign. I have no intention of aband- oning any part of the . Democratic ticket or the Democratic platform. I have no doubt that, before the campaign'is for advanced there will be adjustment of the interests of the parties representing the poopieywbloh “game... _ The Ala-v will make defeat impossible. I In the in- l terests of the people such an adjustment'is inevitable. The present campaign will be the most remarkable in the history of the country, and its results will not be less farreachin g. ’ ’ ‘ Senator Butler’s Opinion. Senator Butler, who was temporary chairman, said: “The result of the con- vention is what the North Carolina dele- gation had contended for from the first—— that is, the nomination of Bryan, with a southern Populist for vice president. The People‘s Party has been built up by ap- pealing to the best elements'of the two old parties to put principle and patriotism above party. In the convention just held the People’s Party "has practiced what it preached. It has indorsed and approved the action of the Chicago convention as far as it was right and has condemned 'it where it was wrong. The nomination of Mr. Bryan was satisfactory to every Pop- ulist in America. He stands for the principles that the party was organized and has contended for against the two old parties. We have put up a platform and nominated a vice president in harmony with our principles, because we could not indorse Mr. Sewall or accept the Demo-. cratic platform as it stood. The Demo- cratic platform was good as far as it went, and it wasaivictory for the People’s Party to have the Democratic convention go as far as it did go. When the delegates ar- rived here they seemed to be divided about two extreme sets of ideas. The west, as a rule, wanted to accept the Democratic ticket as a whole. The south and east, as a rule, wanted a straight ticket. If either, extreme had'succeeded, the People’s Party would have been split in twain. The Peo- ple’s Party has met the Democratic party more than half way. Now, if Mr. Sewall will be patriotic and withdraw fromthe Democratic ticket as a candidate for vice president, he will remove the only obstacle to a complete unification of all the voters who oppose the single gold standard, and victory will be assured from the hour that he takes that high and patriotic position.” Chairman Allen’s Views. Permanent Chairman Allen said regard- ing the convention: “A great convention representing the people of the United States, composed of thoughtful, earnest and intelligent men who have been for years studying the political economy of the country, adjourned today after carry- ing out the wishes of the people. There is not the least doubt of the election of Will~ iam J. Bryan as president. His nomina- tion today in the face of a published de- clination of the nomination, receiving more than 1,000 votes of the people’s chosen representatives, shows the force of the great reform movement that is sweep- ing over the country. Mr. Bryan is a gen- tleman, a man of the people and will not spurn or scorn the nomination which was such a compliment to him. The people of the United States have taken charge of the politics of the nation, and no man can stand in the way. The inevitable tide of progress will sweep all opposition away. The people seize the means to accomplish their ends. Mr. Bryan has been seized 'by" the people of the country, who are press- ing forward the greatest cause of a quar- ter of acentury There ‘wiil be no gbolt from the convention. There are malcon- tents in every party and men in every .oon- . ventlon who are dissatisfied. The nomina- . tion of Mr. Bryan was the will of the peo- ple. . No men can say that the 1,000 who voted for him were wrong and the 200 who did not were right. We enter upon the greatest campaign in our history. We have a candidate who has been the nomi- nee of three conventions, whose delegates clearly represented the interests of their constituents. That the nominee of these three parties will be'elected there can be no question. ” Mr. Bryah Interviewed. ' LINCOLN, Neb., July 27.—In an inter- view- regarding his nomination by vat-he People’s Party convention Mr. Bryan said: “When the Populists decided to nomi- nate vice president first, Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic national com- mittee wired me as follows: u “ ‘Populists nominate vice president first. If not Sewall, what shall I do? Answor quick. I favor your declination in that case.’ “I wired immediately as follows: ‘I on- tirely agree with you. Withdraw my name if Sewall is not nominated.’ “These dispatches were published in the morning papers, and the convention un- derstood my position. In spite of this, they have seen fit to nominate me. Wheth- er I shall accpet the nomination or not will depend entirely upon the conditions attached to it. My first desire is to aid in securing the immediate restoration by the United States of the free and unlim- ited coinage of gold and silver at the pres- ent legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. The Republican platform declares that the bimetallic system should be restored, but asserts that we, as a people, are helpless to secure bimetallism for ourselves until foreign nations come to our assistance. We cannot aflord to surrender our right to legislate for our people upon every ques- tion, and so long as that right is disputed no other question can approach it in im- portance. I appreciate the desire mani- fested at St. Louis to consolidate all the free silver forces and regret that they did not nominate Mr. Sewall also. He stands squarely upon the Chicago platform and has defended our cause against greater op~ position than we have had to meet in the west and south. The Populist platform is on many questions substantially iden- tical with the Chicago platform. It goes beyond the Chicago platform, however, 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 nominee tion. I shall do nothing which will on- danger the success of bimetallism, nor shall I doanything unfair to Mr. Sewall.” "Assuming that the acceptance of the nomination by you would be unfair to Mr. Sewall,” was asked him, vi-‘how could con- ditions shape themselves so as to permit you to accept?” The question was adroitly evaded by the " iocular remark that if all things now per- plexing Were made plain it would be no infringement upon the field of journalistic conjecture. When the complications that seem imminent because of, the seeming necessity of putting up two setsof Bryan electors in case he remained the candidate .of the Pepulist party were alluded to, Mr. Bryan replied ‘that this was one of the dif- ficulties which time ‘must be trusted to rem0ve. \ _.________ , A Strike In. Buflhlo; BUFFALO, July 27. -All the machine men at the Snow Pump works have struck. The strike, which involves over 250 men, is not a union afiair, but is entirely ,local and brought about by an order concerning the hours for eating lunch, which the men considered obnoxious. ‘ ' An American \Vritcr Honored.- , PARI8,~ July, 27.4—The American writer Francis Viele GriiIin has been appointed a chevalie‘r of the Legion of Honor. _. ... __ "1 1" enennnnnenn Innnnn Emperor William’s Enthusiasm Over the Paris Exposition. FORDEFENSE OF THE RHINE. Emperor William’s Plan to Raise His Un- cle to the Rank‘of King Meets With Diltavor—Prince Max of Sax- . any to Become a Priest. ‘ BERLIN. July 27.—The plan” of Em- peror William to raise his uncle, the aged Frederick William Louis, grand duke of Baden, to the rank of king upon the oc- casion of the grand duke’s seventieth birthday, which occurs on Sept. 9, is not received with much enthusiasm by the- people of Baden, who are afraid that the new title will mean an increased civil list and heavier taxation. especially as’the plan to annex Alsace and Lorraine to the grand duchy of Baden, will not, it is gen- erally thought, he carried into effect, owing to the objections of Bavaria. Few of the German newspapers agree with the emperor in the matter of his enthusiasm on the subject of the Paris exhibition of 1900. The Hamburger Nach- richten, discussing the relations between Germany and France, says: “It is safer to keep France in terror of Germany by an increase of the army and of population than to endeavor to get into the good . graces of France- by acts of chivalry and generosity. ” It is rumored that early in the nest ses- sion of the reichstag the Centrist party will endeavor to compel the government to show what truth there is in the allega- tions that the cost of building warships at official yards in 25 per cent higher than at private yards. Three imperial shipyards, it is alleged, are regularly favored with the largest orders, while private shipbuild- ers get only small orders. The latter are furnishing evidences of jobbery. After the naval maneuvers the torpedo fieet, forming six divisions, will hold spe- cial maneuvers under the direction of Em- peror William. Prince Max, nephew of the king of Sax- ony. will he admitted to the priesthbod of the Roman Catholic church tomorrow. He is in his twenty-sixth year. Stoecker's New Party. Dr. Stoecker, the preacher politician and Jew halter, has founded a new party, which he has called the Klrchlichsvzil in- stead of the Christlichsvzil, which latter name the emperor said was an idiotic title. Though under a different name, Dr. 'Stoecker’s party will continue to operate on the lines of his original party in oppo- sing all Liberal measures and in backing up the Jew batters. Dr. Stoccker has ral- lied quite a number of respectable men to his party and announces that he intends to prosecute a vigorous campaign at the approaching session of the relchstag. . The Berlin city synod, which has the patronage of the imperial family, and especially that of the empress, has pub- lished a report in which it is asserted that Berlin is in need of 30 more churches. In thefacc of this is the fact that the exist- ing churches are never more than one- third filled, and besides this two of the most beautiful church edifices in Berlin are used for storage purposes, one for the royal theater and the other for a book- seller. The synod asks for a credit of 15,- 000,000 marks with which to build the proposed new churches. The city of Ber- lin has refused to give a single mark. Last week a mighty box of hammered copper 3 meters deep and 60 meters broad and containing 20,000 pounds of powder was built in by the military engineers on the Alsace arch of the new bridge across the river Rhine neariKehl. The first Kehl bridge was destroyed by exploding powder in the arch at the beginning of the war with France. The socialists are losing one strike after another. The hatmakers spent 100,000 marks for the pleasure of fighting their employers and in the end were obliged to give up and return to work on the old terms. A like result followed the strike of the musical instrument makers at Kett- bus. The textile workers, the metal work- ers and the weavers of Eulengebirge have now been on strike for seven weeks and begin to see that there is no hope of win- ning. These strikes have wasted 750,000 marks. ‘ The law against undignified competition in trade has cleared the windows of Berlin shopkeepers of the once familiar placards which told of selling of? stock below cost, of damaged goods sales, etc., which, if they were untrue, laid those displaying them liable to punishment under the law. Princess Henry and her sister, Princess Louise of Battenberg, have had an amus- ing adventure in the vicinity of Homel- mark. While they were watching motor mills thrashing rape a workwoman came ' behind them and tied them with a straw band. The princesses, on asking the rea- son for the act, were told that if any one ‘ Were tied before he or she noticed it it was the custom to pay a ”footing.” Neither of the princesses had any money with them, but later they sent a handsome sum to the millhands. There has been considerable gossip in connection with the meeting of Prince Hohenlohe, chancellor of the German em- pire, with Count Badeni, president of the council and minister of the interior inhtpe Austrian cabinet, at Aussce. In spite of long recitals to the newspapers dwelling upon the important results of the moot- ing. it is semiofiioially understood that nothing of the first importance was settled at the meeting. ' A. Electric Combination. CHICAGO, July 27.—A combine has been formed for the purpose of maintaining prices by the leading manufacturers of in- candescent, lamps in the United States. This agreement is expected to practically put an end to the war in prices which has virtually done away with all the profits in this line of business. ‘ . ____,__...._... The Insurrection in Crete.
