TICKLED BY THE SENATE.
Passage of the Free Coinage Bill
Taken as a Good Omen.

Passage of the Free Coinage Bill
Taken as Good Omen.
9 OMAHA, Neb., July 1.-The national
convention of the Peoples party will
convene under inspiring circumstances
that lend roseate hopes to the future.
The passage of the free silver bill by
the United States senate today is ac-
cepted by the delegates to the national
convention tonight as a vindication of
those vital principles of their Organiza-
ton, and the demand for greater cir
cuiatlng medium among the common
people. The leaders all agree that
nothing could have been done at this
time that could have been more pro-
pitiOus for the Peoples party hopes or
that could have given greater inspira-
tion of an emphatic demand in favor of
those cardinal principles to which the
various industrial organizations have
been SO long committed.
The national central committee, COM
posed of $50 prominent members of the
Peoples party from all sections of the
Union, was i'll session in this city this
afternoon when the United States senate
took the finalyOte on passage of the sill
yer bill. Thirty seconds after the re-
SUR was announced by the chairman of
The United States senate. 1,500 miles
away, the announcement of the passage
of the bill was reported to the confer
ence.
The effect was electrical. Nearly
every member jumped to his feet, and
three cheers were given for the United
States senate, the first legislative body
to come to the relief of the people; and
it was brawny Ben Terrell, of Texas.
who shouted: ''Now let the peoples
representatives. the lower house of con-
greSs, do the peoples bidding, and like
wise pass this BILL"
There is feeling here tonight that
the house of representatives will hardly
adjourn without giving this measure
consideration, and it is determined by
the leading spirits of this convention
that its position on the financial Ques-
ton will be such as to leave no avenue
of escape for the Democrats of the
!. solid South and the Republicans of the
silver West in the event of the failure of
the lower house to pass this bill

CAUTIONED fsY DoNNELLY.
Gresham Must Be oa Record as
Willing to Accept.

Willing to- Accept.
OMAHA, July 1.-The presid entail
question is naturally becoming the en-
crossing topic in this great gathering,
and the feeling of uncertainty as to thee
outcome is becoming one of positive
anxiety. The great popularity of Judge
Walter o. Gresham makes his nomina-
tion practically certain in the event of
his Willingness TO accept, and so strong
is Gresham'S popularity becoming that
many OF the conservative leaders are
fearful that the convention may be led
into the serious error of bcslowing the
nomination upon man who may SUBJ
sequently reject 1t.
lgnatiaS DOnnely expressed the Senti-,
ment OF strong element this evening,
when he said: I'VE must not go too.
fast with this Gresham movement, but
must await some expression from judge
Gresham himself before we nominate
him. Ii he is willing to accept and
make the fight on our platform, / think
there is but one opinion as 20 the de-
STABILITY of his nomination: but until it
is known that he will accept prudence;
demands that the nomination should not
be rendered a man who is outside our.
party. Ii it should be done. and Gresii-.
ain should then decline, it would bring
our party lnto ridicule throughout the
nation" =
This caution of Donnelly, which finds
an echo from nearly all the Peoples
party leaders. has had the effect of
slightly checking the Gresham move
ment tonight. 1t is tacitly agreed on all
sides that Gresham's name Is not to be
mentioned in the convention unless au-
thorltative assurance is received that he
stands IN
tion. So Gen. Weaver Chairman Tau
beneck. Ben Terrell, and other leaders
of the party have Joined together to-
night III taking steps to secure a posi-
tive intimariOn of his position fromJ udge
Gresham. Ii this intiiHation is favor
able one, Gen. Weaver himself will pre-
sent Gresham's name to the convention
in ringing speech, and the nomination
of the distinguished jurist will be made
by acclamation.
If, however. Gresham should decline
to be considered a candidate, the indi-s
cations tonight are that Gen. Weaver
will be the presidential nominee. While
he expresses his first choice to be
Gresham, Gen. Weaver does not DENY
that he stands prepared to make the
campaign in case he is selected as the
party's standard-bearer, and at this
time Weaver is certainly, next to
Gresham. the choice of the convention.
Hon. Ben Terrell, of Texas, is promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the vice presidency.
The convention meets i'm the coliseum.

corated. and cool deal better appear

There are not over 1000 in town to-.

ton, OF Georgia, for chairman, and Ig-
natius put Carpenter,of the Farminntos

St. Paul daily globe., 1892-07-02

the Iowa state central committee of the
Peoples party, yesterday sent Judge
Gresham the following telegram:
''Will you stand as the candidate Of the
Omaha convention for the presidency on the
st. Louis platformb r. S. ScoTT."
To this telegram Judge Gresham to-
night replied: ,...
Il stand by my interview of few days ago
on this subject. My name will not be pre-
sented to the Omaha convention.
walter q. GRESHAM"
The interview to which Judge
stated that he agreed with the Peoples
party on great many things. but that
he did not agree with that party In all
its declarations. Thus the telegram
this evening received from the Judge is
interpreted as meaning that he cannot
stand as a candidate on the st. Louis
platform, since in his interview he
stated that he did not agree with that
party in all its declarations.
The announcement that a telegram
had been received from the judge caused
considerable excitement laEe this even
ing, and when its contents became
known it was generally accepted
by the more conservative as
clearly indicating that Judge Gresham
did not desire his name to be longer
mentioned in this connection. Consid-
cradle stress is put upon his closing
sentence. MY name will not he pre-
sented. to the convention This is
accepted as being the expression of his
sincere desire i'll regard to the matter.
There are few of the more enthusi-
astic Gresham men, however, who are
still disposed to believe that the Judge
Will accept the nomination if it be
rendered him, but these gentlemen ap-
pear to>be in a. hopeless minority, and
the indications now are that this telt-
gram will be accepted as authoritative
and final and that the Gresham boom is
a thing of the past

THE FRESHMAN RACE.
u ale Lads Outrow the Others
Haudily

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, July 1.-At the
time appointed for the freshman race
this morning the conditions as regards
wind, wave and tide were almost per-
feet, save for rain,, which came down
quite heavily and continued SO duri ng
and after the race. Harvard won, and
chose the middle course. Yale, with sec
ond choice, selected the west, and Co.
lumbia was given the east course.
Al l1:30 each crew had taken its seat
in the shells and were ready for the
word in five minutes. In the midst of
pouring rain and in the face of
strong northwest wind, the. word was
given little after II o'clock. At the
referees pistol shot. the crews got
away without perceptibe splash.
Columbia caught the water first, though
powerful stroke of Yale's sent the
boat with the blue-tipped oars at once
to the lead. The three crews all took a
fast stroke, varying from thirty-nine to
forty-One to the minute, for the first
quarter mile, and at the end of the dis
tance were prettily punched, Yale lead
ing by few yards and Columbia and
Harvard almost tied, the former per-
haps tritle in the lead.
Between this and the three-fourths of
mile flag the great change came in the
relative position of the crews. Yale
dropped her stroke to thrty-eight,
which seemingly was her most effective
number. Both the Harvard and Co.
lumbia eights rowed their forty-to-the-
minute stroke. Yale seemed to gain at
every dip of her oars, and was two
lengths ahead of her rivals when the
third quarter of the first mile had been
rowed. Then Columbia was leading
Harvard by about third of boats
length.
AS the mile post was passed Yale was
still gaining, and Harvard was rapidly
filling the breach between her boat and
that of Columbia. The Yale stroke was
mere again quickened to forty, which
was the number still adhered to by both
the other crews. just after-Starting OH
the last mile Columbia braced again,
but the stroke was ierky and Jagged at
the finish. and though the boat shot
ahead Of Harvard, the keel was uneven.
At the beginning of the last half mile.
the fast stroke set by all three began to
tell to each on the crews. Columbia's
coxswain ploughed out crooked path
for the shell. steering wildly toward the
center OF the course. Harvard gained
rapidly, but the physical possibilities of
the Columbia men began to tell in spite
of their heavy handicap of crooked
steering and rough stroke, and tIiey
once more drew away from tine Grim
sons. Yale held her own to the fiplsh,
pulling evenly and running the boat
along at uniform rate of thirty-three
strokes a minute. She finished about
eight lengths ahead of Columbia, who
led Harvard by two and a half lengths.
The official time as announced was:
Yale, l2:431a; Columbia, 1920; Har-
ward, 1928.
The time for the first mile was: Yale.
5:47; Columbia. 5:52. and Harvard, $3.50.

8 OMAHA. July 1.-Gen. James B.
Weaver, of Iowa, established himself at
the Millard hotel this morning, and
received the various Peoples party
delegates, who crowded eagerly into his
room.
wv no is your choice for pr esident?"l
Gen. Weaver was asked,
.sWalter q. Gresham is my first
choice. and Weaver is my second" said
:, the general, smiling.
{ ..If Gresham will accept l think we
sare all for him, and l presume we will
hear something anthOritatively from;
him or from some one authorized to rep
resent him very SOOn."
= Gen. Weaver smiled at the suggestion
that Senator Stewart had sent a mes
seiIger to Omaha with a platform upon
which he would accept the nomination
for the presidency, and said:
II dOn'tthink Senator Stewart has
done anything of the kind He is a
very sensible man, and would be good
candidate. but he would not expect the
platform to be moulded to suit the con-
,yenience of any man."

OTTO GRES HAM TALKS.
He Knows Of No Reason Why His
/ Father Should Decline.

/ VALPARAISO, Ind. July 1.-Hon. N.
u. Bozarth, Peoples party candidate for
supreme Judge, says he has received
positive assurances from the Indiana
state central committee that Judge Wal
ter Q. Gresham has promised to make
the race for president as the nominee Of
tile Peoples party.
! "A reporter addressed Otto Gresham,
the son of the judge, on the matter.
The young. attorney refused to be inter
viewed on the subject, but said in reply
to a direct interrogatory: Il Know of
no reason why my father should not ac-
cept the honor were it tenderca him. 1
believe he is. as every honest thinking
inan is,- a believer in most of the doc
frines of the new party. Several of
them are pet theories which he has ad-
yocated In Republican councils for
years, although lately he has taken no
active. part. in politics. Still L cannot
say authoritatievly that the nomination
will be offered or accepted, or even
whether father will vote the new
ticket.'

card was prepared this morning by q
bard. Eugene Smith, A. A. Francis. Am
brose G. Smith. Charles w. Russell, B.
NJ. Fulwiler, Andrew Ashton, Alfred
Clarke:
We, the undersigned members of the Peo-
pies party of America. called upon Judge
Walter @. Gresham at his residence i'll Chi
cago OH the night of June 22. This pleasant
conference lasted over one hour, and during
that time various addresses were made by
various members of the Peoples party. in
which every speaker declared his desire that
Judge Gresham should be the Peoples party
nominee for president. To these expressions
Judge Gresham made no dissent. While he
did not aud could not as a self-respecting
man accept the nomination which this CON-
mittee had no authority 10 offer. he did not
as he could most properly have done, say II
will not accept the Peoples party nomina-
ton at Chicago"
Judge Gresham is a distinguished states
man-distinguished for his high sense of
honor. If it was out OF the question for him
to accept the Peoples party nomination for
to have tod that committee so i'll clear and
unmistakabe language. He would not have
allowed them 10 leave bis presence in any
doubt or delusion on that question.
But what were the circumstances of the
case?. Judge Gresham. in long and frank
conversations .declared4 himself partly i'll
sympathy with all the essential principles of
of the Peoples party. He did not refuse to
be its presidential nominee,, but allowed the
committee to geS Away believing that he
would accept if the honor were rendered
him by the convention. Would an honora-
bic man have done thfsif he did not mean 10
accept the nominations -.t.--.,.,,-
He would hot and Judge Gresham is
known TO the entire land as the soul Of
honor: consequently lie will accept the nom
ination of the Peoples party if honorably
offered him. This is the firm conviction of
all who were present on the occasion in
