Gov. Flower Refuses denomination
for GOveErer- The New York Re-
publtcans in session.

Saratoga, Sept. 1S.-The state Repub-
lican convention, called to nominate a
full state ticket, was ranped to order here
to-day at 12:4O p. m. Hon. Samuel Ely
Quigg, of New York City, WAS made tenn
porary chairman. The platform will
stand by bimetallism; will condemn the
tariff law as an attack on American in
dustries; will claim that it's purpose is to
build up the South and to ruin the COM
mercial interests of the North; and will
condemn what are termed broken Dem
ocratic promises. Referring to the
income tax, it will say that it is rabid
and un-American measure, violative of
personal rights. In relation to the
AMERICAN PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION,
the platform will point to the constitu-
tional provision, which permits the free
exercise and enjoyment of religious pro-
fessions and worship without discrimina-
ton or preference, and recommends that
it be strictly followed.
Temporary Chairman Grigg in his ad-
dress arraigned the Democratic party for
the passage of the new tariff law and de-
nounced the "machine Democracy" of
New York City. He said that the outlook
for the Republican party in the coming
election was encouraging. The conven-
ton took a recess till 4:3O.

WALL STREET VIEW.
Watching the Congressional Elec-
tiOns in Hopes of Killing
Silver.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The banking
house of Clews & Co. has issued crcu-
lar ip which it says:
Wall street is already beginnins,to oc-
cupy itself with the prospects of the com
ing congressional elections. The main
matter around which interest centers is
the currency question. 1t is taken for
granted that that issue must come up for
settlement, even though the session of
congress be the short one; and much in
terest turns on the question-how far the
disposition of the next congress may be
changed on the currency question? The
possibility that both parties, owing to
party competition, may bid for the votes
of the Populists is the main cause of any
uneasiness on this account. 1t is, how
ever, very possible that the influence of
any mere Populist theories may be
thwarted by congress taking up the ques-
tion next December and putting it
through before the 4th of March. There
has been no congressional action to show
very clearly how congressional opinion
stands upon the currency issue; but
among members of the house who have
Ucbll DCSu oibudUCu W IoIi u jug
there is strong hope that it may be
found possible to carry through, before
next March, measure that will set at
rest the silver and the fat money crazes
through putting our bank currency sys-
tenn upon broader and more liberal and
yet absolutely secure basis, and by sub
stituting it for the 50OO0O,0OO of govern
ment notes which now constitute the
weak feature of our monetary system. If
this can be done the monetary complex
ion of the new congress will be a matter
of secondary Importance. 1t rests very
much with the men of finance, whose ex-
perience affords the best qualifications
for guiding opinion on this question
to show the way towards an early and
wise settlement of this vexed question
There are ways in which they can make
their guidance influential; and in pro
portion as they discreetly use their power
will be the chances of final placing OF
the currency settlement beyond the reach
of both silver maniacs and Populists.

dressed his wound. Fireman McGraw
took the train west. Twice before, last
nights bandits have started for the spot
selected for their deed OF violence this
morning and each time the fall of rain
has baffled them.
The Santa Fe road received informa
tion of the contemplated raid three weeks
ago. Every night since half dozen
secret service men have been on the train
and on nights when the spy gave warning
that the robbery was to be expected, the
force was increased.
TWO ARE CAPTURED.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Memphis Mo-, Sept. 1S.-W. E. Nc
Daniel, the man who advised the officers
of the plot giving the time and place of
the Santa Fe train robbery, went last
night with G. E. Abrams, Link Overtield
and two Others to CORN. As the train
neared CORN the engineer noticed that a
switch signal light had been removed,
heard : t4Jrpedo explode oAd saw signal
flag waved. He stopped the train and
then Abrams, the leader of the gang, ran
to the engineer and called out, "We've got
you, hold up your hands," The engineer
was slow in responding and Abrams shot
him. Detective Kinney, concealed in the
tender, shot Abrams in the shoulders
with double-barreled shotgun loaded
with buckshot.
Abrams and the other robbers ran for
the brush. Abrams horse was killed
The officers secured the brush, but did
not find the robbers. The officers then
came to Memphis, got out warrants and
located Abrams and Overfield; and then
brought them to Jail. Abrams will die
The officers refuse to give the names OF
the others implicated.
