the platform, followed by Patterson and
others. While Washington was being

and announced that he understood Bryan

out further delay he then announced the

Donnelly, II.
1t was then 30 O'Clock. Bedlam was
! let loose and pandemonium reigned for
fifteen or twenty minutes. The Texas,
Arkansas and Maine middle-of-the-road
men with their guidons together took no
part in the demonstration. The middle
of-the-road men finally massed about their
standard on the left of the hall. About

DIsGRUNTLED DELEGATES.
Texas and Other Delegates Meet to Con-
slider Their Future Course.

st. Louis, July 25.-Immediately after
the adjournment, the Texas and several
other delegations got together to take
action as to their course.
Stump Ashby got upon Il chair and act
ed as chairman of the conference. lie
said there was no disposition on the part
of Texas to have trouble with anybody
and thought that st. Louis would give
them the necessary protection, but the
Texas delegation, he said, did not need
very much of that article He advised
the delegation to meet at the Southern
hotel and invite all the middle-of-the-
road men. 1t was proposed at once to
appoint Il committee to wait on Govern
or Stone and get the telegram he was
said to have from Mr.. Bryan. This
committee consisted of Sam Evans OF
Texas, Ulrich of Wisconsin and Howard
of Alabama Campion of Maine was
subsequently substituted for Howard.
Paul Vandervort Of Nebraska got
hearing for Mr.. Washburn of Massa-
chuseits, who tried to tell the Texans
that Bryan was all right, but he could
give them little information. Wash
burn was bombarded with questions.
They wanted a direct answer to their
question. whether or not Bryan would
accept. Washburn said he could give
no information as to that point. Then
it was suggested that the further pro-,
ceedings be conducted at the speakers
stand and the crowd swarmed over the
rostrum. Then it appeared that there
were not very many delegates among
the kckers. There were men who had
not been admitted to seats in the con-
vention. 1t was noticeable that prom
inent men in the Texas delegation did
not remain. 1t also appeared that the
crowd around the Texas seats We're
composed largely of men who were not
delegates. for when the order was given
for those who were not delegates to
move out there was most noticeable
thinning out Then the meeting pro-
cceded with the appointment of its com
mittee to draft an address. An i'm
portant part OF the meeting was the fact
that Frank Burkett of Mississippi would
not serve on any Of the committees, and
although Schillng of Wisconsin was APP
pointed several times, he gave notice
that, being on the national committee,
he could not serve. Some question was
raised as to what the action of the con-
vention meant when it gave the national
committee plenary powers. 1t was
feared they might take Watson off the
ticket. The few that remained in the
hall then, at $50 adjourned, the address
committee to meet at once and the con-
ference to meet at 80 D. IN. at the
Southern hotel.

Municipal Engineering for August,
the foremost authority on municipal
work, says of town and city drains, that
in city lying almost level, it is quite
impossible to get rid of surface waters
without underground channels These
are all the more necessary as street sur
faces are made impervious. And it is
added that if the area drained by street
cutters is too large, because Of the con-
vergence of the cutters at given point,
damaging overfiows occur. That is the
case here precisely. Our surface drain
age converges at Sixth and r streets,
overf1ows and damages large area,
and renders it unfit for homes. To pre-
vent this 1T is now proposed to provide
large sunken drain to receive these

There are some Republicans and some
Republican journals who are declaring
for the Democracy and it's Presidential
candidate, and are so far blind to the
truth as to say that Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic party has come to them,
and that they have not gone over to
Bryan and the Democracy. When a
sincere Republican so delivers himself
a platform that by every fundamental
Republican principle is repudiated, and
that fatty and brazenly flies in the face
of the people the doctrine that this
preservation; that unblushingly an
nounces it's opposition to the primary
principle of the Republican party-pro-
lection to American industries and
workers; that boldly proposes that the
tribunals of the land shall be stripped
of the authority to interpose by injunc-
ton to prevent the rioter, the lawless
and the vicious from taking by force
that proposes to prohibit to our courts
the power to interpose the arm of the
law to remove obstacles to the free
movement of interstate commerce and
the unopposed passage of the Govern
ment mails. These Republicans, who
have no reason for losing faith in their
own party to rise equal to any national
need and emergency that may confront
the Government-these men and jour
nails in supporting Mr.. Bryan because
Of single declaration regarding a
financial problem, and who stands upon
platform rebuking the President of
the United States for interposing the
Federal authority in the Chicago strike
riots of 1894, and preventing by force
and arms the rioters of that time from
destroying property and life. from stop
ping up the avenues and ways of COM
merce between the States, the free pas
sage of the malls and the operation Of
Federal functions in the matter of the
customs-these faithless Republicans
are indorsing platform and a candi-
date standing upon it that proposes to
strip the courts of the land of the power
exercised ever since a human tribunal
has been known. This barrier to law
lessness, if removed, as the Democracy
demands, will open the door to all man
ner of possible evils. Republicans, we
repeat, have no reason for deserting
their party; 1t is the party of true BIZ
metallism; it IS the party of law and or
der and human rights; 1t Is party that
has been tried in the fires and has al
ways proved to be pure metal.

The New York 'sWorld" cannot as
suredly be charged with any friendli-
ness for the Republican party. If it
has a leaning that way the world has
never discovered it. 1t is a sound
money paper now, but that by no
ry,eans makes it Republican paper.
The World therefore will be accepted
on the question of what is and what
is not proper designation of the Repub-
lican party in this campaign. Besides,
it speaks the truth. as is evident to
every impartial Intelligence, when it
says that there is no gold party. If
there is any such party it would be in
teresting to know where it is to be
found, and who compose it. AS the
World well says: TT is a common
carelessness of speech to refer to sound
money Democrats as gold men, to char
acterize Republicans as gold bugs"
1t is an error that should be avoided,
a term that should not issue from the
clean mouth. There is no gold bug
party, as the World" well declares
To charge the Republican party with
being gold party is to speak loosly.
1t stands for silver as Well as gold.
AS to financial issues, SO far from being
monometallic it is bimetallic. The con-
vention Of the party declared in favor
OF the use of both metals, and pledged
the party to promote international
agreement to bring about the adoption
of silver as common currency receiva-
