Recent Happenings of Importance In
the Political World.
GORDON TO SUPPORT BRYAN.
Democratic Candidate Hard at Work on
His Speeches—He Will Be Accom-
panied on His Trip to the East
by nix-Congressman Bland.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.—Senator John B.
Gordon of Georgia, whose name has been
mentioned for the vice presidency on a
gold Democratic ticket, says that he would
not accept any nomination for any polit-
ical position. While remaining a sound
money man, he says. he will support the
nominees of the Chicago convention.
Senator Gordon is opposed to a second
ticket being placed in the field by the
Democratic party. In explaining his posi-
tion he said: “The political situation in
Georgia, while similar to that in other
southern states. is not thoroughly appre-
ciated in the north. The Democracy of
Georgia is always threatened with the ac—
cession to power of an undesirable ele-
ment. This is made up of a radical agra—
rian element, holding to very unusual
views on financial and other questions.
With the assistance of the negro vote this
element might any time secure control of
the state. ,
“To keep this element. a most danger-
ous one, in the background, the Demo—
crats find it necessary to stand together.
There are hosts of sound money man in
Georgia who, before the Chicago conven-
tion, talked as though they would not sup-
port any silver nominee, but now most of
these, recognizing the alternative, are one
by one deciding to vote the ticket. Re-
publican rule in my state would be a cal-
amity, and the rule of the element I have
mentioned would be as bad. I deem it
my duty under the circumstances to vote
for the nominees of my party. I have been
asked to take the stump in Georgia for
Bryan and Sewall, and I may make a few
speeches in their behalf.”
Morrison as a Looker 0n.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4. —-William R. Morri-
son, ex-congressman and a member of the
interstate commerce commission, is at the
Palmer House with Commissioner You-
mans. To a question as to what he
thought of the Democratic ticket he re-
plied:
“I haven’t a word to say about it. You
probably understand that I am not high
in the councils of the Illinois Democracy
this year. Really all I know of its plans
and intentions I glean from the newspa-
pers. ”
"What are your personal views on the
currency question?"
“I want both gold and silver, but 1
must pose as a man who freely admits
having no practical plan of settling the
matter under dispute. Even after all the
conventions and wise solutions offered by
all the parties, I am without a plan which
would accomplish what I would like to see
—namely, both gold and silver under rc-
demption. I don’t believe my Democratic
friends are going to secure it by unlimited
coinage, although Mr. Bryan and his ad-
herents doubtless think it can be done.
On the other hand, I could find things
quite as objectionable in the McKinley
creed. . .-
“We certainly need an established our-
rency, and we certainly need silver. Most
everybody concedes these necessities. Be-
publicans and ‘eound money’ Democrats
hope to accomplish their purposes through
international agreement. Silver Democrats
are going to have silver money on equal
terms with gold by coining it the same
way. But I for one do not think the pro-
posed plan of coinage will ever bring
about the hoped for result. The plan out.
lined in the Chicago platform will certain-
ly not bring it. An international agree-
ment may, but there are no signs of this
being an accomplished fact at an early
day.
“Allison’s statement to the effect that
there are evidences abroad of ‘a movement
whereby silver will come into redemption
on the same basis as gold is information
not possessed by me. But I do not care to
talk currency or politics. There may be
tangles in the Democratic party, but they
are not [or melto straighten out. As I
said, I am not running the Democratic
party this year. ”
Fusion In North Carolina.
RALEIGH, Aug. 4. --It is understood
that the terms offered to the Populists as
a result of the Democratic conference pro-
vide for one Populist and one Democratic
elector from the state at large, and five
Democrats and four Populist electors from
the nine districts. In this way, if the, fu-
sion ticket was elected, Sewall would get
six and Watson five of North Carolina’s
vote in the electoral college. This proposi-
tion and any other which may be submit
ted by the Republicans will, Senator But-
ler says. he considered at the Populist
state convention on Aug. 13.
In regard to the proposition of the lead-
ing negro organ here, ‘that the Repub-
licans take down the McKinley electoral
ticket and render a Populist Republican
fusion possible a prominent Republican
said today: >
“While I am reasonably sure that a
majority of the Republican state commit-
tee is oppesed to such a plan—both on
principle and because we see a pretty good
chance of electing our electoral ticket-—
and while I am certain there are not 5,000
Republican voters in the state who today
intend to “to for Bryan in preference to
McKinley, and that most of them are
petty local bosses who make a great deal
of noise always, I realize the fact that it
is very desirable for the Republican na-
tional committee to take a hand and as-
sist the Republicans here.”
Candidate For a Populist Nomination.
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 4.—William A.
' Nowell of Olympia has announced himself
as a candidate for the Populist nomination
for governor. Mr. Nowell was a member
of congress from New Jersey from 1847 to
1851. He is a physician and was on the
floor of the house when John Quincy
Adams was stricken with his fatal illness
and attended the dying statesman. He
was elected governor of New Jersey in
1856, was beaten for governor of that state
by General George B. McClellan in 1877
and was appointed governor of Washing-
ton territory by President Hayes in 1880.
For Fusion In Kansas.
'Torsxa, Aug. 4. ——- Relating to the
question of fusion in Kansas of Democrats
and Populists, the Democratic leaders, it
is reported, have partially mapped out a
plan of action. Their state convention
will be held at Hutchinson tomorrow,while
that of the Populists will convene at Abi-
lene on the following dav. The Hutchin-
son convention will be’ organized, and
\
THE EVEN lNGuAZETrrE ;
u
then ex-United States Senator John Mar- I
tin will introduce a resolution providing
for the appointment of a committee to
confer with the POpulists in regard to fu-
sion. The resolution will be adopted and
a recess taken until the next day. The
committee will arrive atAbilene the fol«
lowing morning and will urge the Popu-
list leaders to adopt a resolution for a con-
ference committee. It the conference com-
mittees adept the Harris fusion plan, which
provides for the naming of electors by the
Democrats and state oflicers by the Popu-
lists, it is believed the Democratic conven-
tion will adopt the report.
Bryan Preparing Speeches.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 4.-—Mrs. Bryan
has taken charge of political correspond-
once, leaving Mr. Bryan to devote him-
self almost wholly to the work of prepar-
ing speeches for the coming trip east.
Pending the official notification, Mr. Bry-
an, on the suggestion of Senator Jones,
has as far as possible avoided all serious
political discussions in his speeches. Im-
mediately after the meeting in New York,
and possibly on his way east, he will
plunge into the consideration of the issues
of the campaign and will be prepared to
speak several times a day if necessary.

route of their 1,500 mile journey from No-
braska to New York. '
Cardinal Wouldn’t Express an Opinion.
CANTON, Aug. 4.—-A letter was received
here yesterday in reply to an inquiry from
an admirer of Cardinal Gibbons. The in-
quirer asked the cardinal for his opinion
on the currency question. The reply is as
follows:
MY DEAR SIR—His eminence directs me to
say, in reply to your letter of the 20th inst.,
that in view of the diversity of opinion held
on the subject of the currency by experts—
men who have made it a life study—he would
not venture to express an opinion. Yours very
truly, WILLIAM A. Brannon.

Desire CUBAN rumors.
Arrival In New York of an Insurgent
Band Requiring Medical Aid.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4,—The steamship
Antello, from Nassau, N. P.. brought a
party of Cuban refugees. among whom
was Lieutenant Colonel Enrique Cespedes,
an officer of cavalry and a nephew of the
Cuban president of the, ten years" war.
Colonel Cespedes’ companions Were Cap-
tain Mario Carillo. Lieutenants Jose Ca-
brera and Edouard Laborde, Dr. John H.
Smith, and Privates Edouard Laborde.
Modisto Leon and Emilio Agranot.
'Dr. Smith is a Connecticut surgeon, who
,went ' to Cuba with the Ruiz expedition,
and who has rendered the lnsurrcctionary
cause invaluable service by his improve-
ments in the field hospital department and
medical relief corps. Edouard Laborde is
a brother of Captain Laborde of Competi-
tor fame, who is caged in a Morro castle
dungeon, with every prospect of being
shot for filibustering.
Besides important dispatches from Gen-
eral Gomez to the Cuban junta, Colonel
Cespedes is the bearer of several ounces of
surplus weight in the form of Spanish
lead. He came to New York as much for
surgical treatment as for any other pur-
pose. His companions are here for the
same purpose. Colonel Cespedes’ wound,
which is in the left knee, has taken a pa-
culiarly malignant form, and it may be
necessary to amputate the injured mem-
ber. He has to walk on crutches. The
refugees tell a thrilling story of their
escape from Cuba, which has been partial-
ly detailed in dispatches from Nassau.
After hiding in the bushes on the north
coast of the island for severd weeks they
at last, on July 23, succeeded in sailing
from near the port of Nuevitas.
They had an open yawl, which had been
used in the Ruiz expedition. The Spanish
authorities had known that the party
would attempt to escape, and had sent the
gunboat Golondulno to intercept their
boat. The Golonduino passed Nuevitas a
few moments before the patriots set sail.
The patriots passed so close to the gun-
boat that they could hear the sailors on
board talking to each other. Once safe
from her guns they rigged up two sails
and steered for Nassau.
They wore two days out under a vertical
sun which beat down upon them pitlless-
ly. Their sufferings from wounds, expo-
sure and thirst were terrible. Finally they
landed at Nassau about midnight on July
25. The news of their arrival spread rapid-
ly, and the next morning they received an
ovation from the populace. .At Nassau
Ismael Camps, CosWell Delancey and Sal-
veriano Galbaez, who had sailed from
Nuevitas, left the party. The others em-
barked immediately on the Antilla for
New York.
Word was received today at the junta of
the arrival at Key West of three other On-
ban couriers. They are Ricardo Delgado,
A. Fernandez Velasco and Francisco Pe-
rez, all officers in General Antonio Macao's
command. They left the northwest coast
of Pinar del Rio in an open boat on July
30. They were picked up in the strait of
Florida on Aug. 1 by the pilotboat Glance,
gaptaln Walters, and put down at Key
est.
General Gomez’s Son In New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4. -'— On board the
Clyde steamship Saginaw, from San Do-
mingo, were Archibald H. Grlnke, United
States consul at San Domingo, and Luis
Cambraso, Italian consul for San Domin-
go. There was also on board Ignatio Go-
mez, son of General Maximo Gomez, who
returns to New York on a secret mission.
The general’s wife and family are at Monte
Cristie, San Domingo, where they have re-
sided for some years.

BABY’S CODING.
Nature intended that
every woman s h o u l d
look forward to the com-
ing of her baby with Joy
and hope, unclouded 7
anxiety. Almost pr _
less parturition 13 qt 1
the usual thing anion,~
uncivilized people.
Even in our own country
it occasionally hap ens
with women in to net
health and ood condi-
tion. It'oug. t to be the
rule instead of the excep-
tion ; and it is a. fact that
' a very large roportion
of the usual pain and suf-
. faring may be avoided by
looking after the mother’s general health,
and specially strengthenmgthe particular
organs concerned m parturition.
Manymothers have been brought through
the trying time almost pamlesslybythe aid
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. . It
prepares the system for delivery by_ rm-
parting the organic strength and elasticnf
which the mother specially needs ; shortens
the time of labor and of confinement; pro-
motes the secretion of abundant nourish-
ment for the child and fortifies the entire
constitution against the after penod of de-
ression and weakness. It’s use. should
fiegin in the early months of gestation—the
earlier the better.
Mrs. FRED HUNT, of Glen-ville, Schenectady C_o.,
N. Y., says : “ I read about Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription being so good for a woman with
child, so I got two bottles last September, and
December 13th, I had a twelve-pound baby girl.
When I was confined I was not sick in any way.
I did not sufier any pain, and when the child
was born I walked into another room and went
to bed. I never had an alter-pain or any other
pain. This is the eighth child and the lar est
of them all. I suffered eve hing that esh
could suffer with the other babies. I always had
a doctor and then he could not help me very
much, but this time my mother and my husband
were alone with me. My baby was only seven
days old when I got up and dressed and left my
room and stayed up al day."
