THE MARYLAND PoPUIISTS.
A Sharp Contest Over the Organiza-
tien of Committees

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug 21.-The Mary
land PopulisU State Convention met here
to day with about fifty delegates pres
ent. Rev. Walter Vrooman, called the
convention to order at II O'Clock, and
Samuel g. Hierst was chosen temporary
chairman.
A sharp contest arose over the orga-
nization of committees, particularly the
resolutions. Mr.. N. A. Dunning, editor
of the Watchman, national organ of the
labor party, urged that the platform be
confined to true populist principles and
that it embrace not more than three
short and clear planks. Rev. Walter
Vrooman, representing the socialistic
element in the convention, accused Dun
ming of coming to the convention TO pre-
vent the nomination of a ticket. Dun
ming responded that he had said casually
that the old parties were SO strongly
entrenched that it was useless to nomi-
nate Populist ticket. 1t developed
that Dunning headed the element favor
able to a plank for free coinage Of silver
at 1G to /, while Rev. Vrooman repre-
sented the element favorable to govern
ment ownership of railroads, telegraph,
etc, along socialistic lines This ois-
cussion brought out the fact that delegate
Burchard had written letter favorable
to the Republican State ticket. The
convention took a recess pending the
reports Of committees.

PLANS OF THE SILVER HEN,
Senator Harris Says the Fight will be
to Control the Convention.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-Senator Har-
ris, of Tennessee, who is one of the lead
ers in the movement to secure free sill
yer platform and candidate at the next
Democratic National Convention, said
to day that he did not believe in wasting
much time over free silver in tie next
Congress and also was of like opinion
as 10 suggestions Of an International
monetary conference. The silver Demo
Gratis fight, he said, would be for control
of the next national convention, and
speaking of this in connection with the
recent silver conference, he said:
81 hope to have central organization
at the capital of every State, and sub
ordinate organizations at every county
seat and every voting precinct n every
county in the United States. With such
organization, if it shall be completed, we
will be able to bring into action at the
proper time the entire free silver senti-
ment of the country. II successful, we
will control the action of the National
Convention. If defeated, speaking for
myself, | shall submit to the will of the
majority, as | have done in other in
stances when | have chanced to find the
majority of my associates opposed to my
views" "

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 21.-Treas-
ury officials have not yet completed their
final report of the investigation into the
accounts of Librarian Spofford, begun
about six weeks ago.
Expert Meyers, of the Fifth Auditors
Office, has made a partial report but in
the absence of Fifth Auditor Holcomb,
his deputy, Mr.. j. j. Willie, declines to
go into details pending the receipt of a
Communication which he is expecting
from Mr.. Spofford Mr. Willie de-
clined to affirm or deny the truth of
a story printed this morning by the New
York World, which states that Mr.. Spot
ford is short in his accounts about $780,
600 The World says that Mr. Spofford
had utterly failed to account for moneys
received for searching the copyright files
and furnishing kindred information
in reply to inquiries. It also stated that
Mr.. spofford had carried on the rolls
positions that were untitled, that the
employees received salaries much below
those credited to them on the pay-rolls,
and that Mr.. Spofford had offered to
make good $4,000 of alleged discrep-
ancies.
Deputy Auditor Willie refused to 60
into any OF these details pending the
arrival of the communication he is ex
pecting. He admitted, however, that
until the inquiry instituted six weeks
ago, Mr.. Spofford had not made com
plete accounting for several years how
many Mr.. Willie declined to say. Mr..
Spofford handles the moneys received
from copyrights and disburses the sala
ries Of the employees in his office. Mr..
Willie declined to even approximate the
average receipts of the librarian from
copyright sources, stating that that could
only be disclosed by the result of the in
vestigation.

ADVISES HURsTs WITHDRAWAL
Gov. Brown Severely ArTaigns Cor
mans Influence IN Earyland.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 21.-Gov.
Brown, the present executive of Mary
land, nominated and elected as a Demo
Graf, in an alleged interview in the Bal
timore News to night, severely arraigns
the influence exerted by Senator German
on the recent Democratic State Oonven-
ton and advises the withdrawal of John
f. Hurst, the present Democratic can
didate for Governor. Gov. Brown urges
the calling Of another State convention.
Mr.. Hurst was seen concerning the in
teryiew credited to Gov. Brown. "The
publication came like q bombshell to
me-" said Mr.. Hurst, "and | at once
Gent to Gov. Browns Office to ask him if
he was correctly quoted. He sends me
word he has had no interview. Under
the circumstances, can say only that
any reports that l contemplate with
drawing from the candidacy of the Gov
ernorship are absolutely false"
Gov. Brown was then seen at his pri-
vate office. The publication had caused
a sensation in political circles, and the
Governor was beseiged with callers. He
prepared a formal statement for pabliea-
tfon, in which he says that he had no
such advice to offer Mr.. Hurst as to with
drawing and any remarks that he may
have made in connection with the Dem
ocratic nomination were made incident
ally and in jocular way, with no in
tention Of having the same in print.

TM QABRE@T CIRCULATION OF AMY NOGE GAhDlNA DAILY

| WIN ana redeemable in such coin. We
insist upon this policy as especially neces-
| sary for the protection of farmers and
laborers, the first and most defenseless
| victims Of unstable money and huctuat-
| ing currency"
The minority report presented by
| Judge Patrick read:
We demand the immediate restora-
tlon Of the law providing for the free
coinage and full legal tender of both
gold and silver coins without discrimina-
ting against either metal, as provided in
the Constitution, and without awaiting
the assent of England or any other for
eign nation"
Judge Patrick made radical free sill
yer argument in favor of his minority
report, and scored the majority report as
a serpent which one could not tell Wheth-
er it was running for gold or coming
back.
He caused a storm of merTiment when
he turned and pointed to Senator Brice
as he said the gold was in the hands of
the rich, and that this was a fight of IL e
millions against the millionaires. He
begged that the Democratic party be de-
livered from the National banks and the
millionaire
Mr.. Hurd replied in favor of the ma
Jorlty report ard for honest money. The
majority report was then adopted 525 to
270.
The nominee for member of the board
of Public Works is said to be the only
free silver man on the State ticket
although the silver lines were not drawn
on the candidates.
There was considerable enthusiasm
over the nomination of Camp bell. He
defeated exGov. Foraker in 1889 and
was defeated for re election as Governor
in 1891 by VIM. Mckinley, gr., the
present incumbent. The nomination
Of Campbell means an aggressive cam
paign in Ohio, where Mckinley is
now recognized as candidate for
President, and Foraker for Senator, the
fate of both depending largely upon the
pending contest between Campbell and
Bushnell for Governor. 1t is generally
understood that Gov. Campbell was in
duced to make the race by promises of
support for the Presidential nomination
in the event of his success next Novem-
Der.
1t is thought that the contest between
these old leaders in Ohio will overshadow
the currency question and other issues.
There is so little difference between the
Republican and the Democratic platforms
on silver that the currency question is
now generally believed to be disposed of
in Ohio but the tariff will be kept promi-
nent as the parties differ widely on that
issue, and Gov. Campbell is expected to
arraign the Republican State administra-
ton of the past four years very severely
as he did in the previous campaigns. Gov.
Campbell called in his friends tonight
before leaving and with Senator Brice
and others arranged for beginning at
once an aggressive campaign in which
they expect the co operation of leading
ing Democrats throughout the country
Previous to his election as Cove rnor in
1889, Campbell had been three times
elected to Congress in a republican dis
trict and is recognized as the lest cam
paigner of his party in Ohio

There were three men visible, accord
ing to conductor Flynn's description.
Two of the gang got on the train at
Brady Island, going forward over the
tender after the train was in mo-
tion, and with revolYers drawn,
held up the fireman and engineer
and compelled the engineer at the
point of revolvers to 60 back to the bag
gage car, open the door and gain admit
tance, which he did by informing the
baggage man that they were held up,
and that the robbers had a gun at his
head and demanded admittance. They
were admitted at once, and the express
messeng was compelled to open the
smaller safe He could not open the
larger combination safe, and the robbers
proceeded to blow the top out of it with
dynamite.
In the meantime, the fireman man
aged to give them the slip, and going
forward, be uncoupled the engine and
made the run to Gothenburg for posse
OF men to help capture the ban0its, In
short time, twenty volunteers we're
en- route for the scene OF the robbery,
but before they arrived the robbers had
disappeared.
When the dynamite exploded the pas
sengers on board were much excited, but
were not molested.
Posses have been sent out from North
Platte and Brady Island, and every eff
fort is being made to capture the robbers
before they get out of the country.

booty secured.
