NATIONAL POLITICS.
THE POPS ARE RATIFIED.

Atlanta, Ga.-The Georgia state Pop.
ulist convention meets on Thursday. In
letter to Senator Butler, chairman OF
the Populist national campaign commit
tee, Tom Watson says: at might be we'll
to wait and see whether the party will in
dorse what was done at st. Louis. 1t is
by no means certain that the party will
do so. There are mutterings of discon-
tent all along the line, and, if Mr.. Sewall
declines to retire for harmony's sake, the
rank and file of our party may break
away from the leaders and refuse to vote
for Mr.. Bryan. Therefore, my own opin.
ion is that we had better 60 slow until
the atmosphere clears little"
LABOR IN THE FIELD.
New York.-A temporary organization
of labor men who are in favor of the elec-
tion of Bryan and Sewall was effected last
night. 1t was decided to call a mass
meeting in Cooper Union at an early
date to advocate the candidacy of Bryan
and Sewall. The organization will e1-
tend itself to every assembly district in
the city, and will be carried on inde-
pendent of all political organizations.
One of the organizers will be Alex. Gus
tafson, who has been prominent in
temperance movements in Europe and
Australia. His experience mong peo-
pie of foreign birth will be valuable to
the cause of the free coinage of silver.
Harding Weston, who was delegate to the
Peoples party in St. Louis, also took
part in last nights meeting, and will as

Failure of Chicago Promoters of Dia-

FURRY Among Gamblers.
EDWIN GOULD is APPARENTLY ON TOP
Chicago Bankers and Stock Specula-
tors Making Strenuous Efforts to
Allay Excitement = Markets
Much Disturbed.

New York, Aug, 4.-The announcement
of the failure at Chicago last night of
Moore Bros, promoters Of the Diamond
Match company and the New York Bis
emit company, resulted in the prevalence
here to-day of all sorts of rumors con-
cerning the effect upon business at the
New York offices of the concern.
Scores of persons interested in the
Diamond Match company visited the Of
foes of that company, of whlch George
johnson is manager. johnson was not
at the Office to-day, having sent down
word that he was sick.
johnson says that, because Moore Bros.
owned good deal of stock in the Dia-
mond Match company, it did not neces-
sarily follow that the failure would result
in the discontinuance of the business of
the concern.
The following statement was given to
the Associated Press at the Office of the
New York Biscuit company to-day: "The
fact that william H. Moore, of Moore
Bros, is president of the company is no
reason why we should be affected in the
least. We have heard of the failure and
that's about all. The stock of the COM
pany is we'll protected. It is very likely
that when full information is received
from Chicago it will be found that the
affairs of Moore Bros. will be all settled.
Whether they are or not, the business bere
will GO on just the same as if Moore Bros.
were fully solvent"
STOCK MARKET DISTURBED.
New York.-Prices on the stock ex-
change fell rapidly this morning owing to
liquidation due to the Chicago failure.
Grangers and industrisls suffered most.
AN OPPOSITION VIEW.
New York.-Edwin Gould, president of
the Continental Match company, in op-
position to the Diamond Match company,
said to day; "My opinion is that the
Moore failure will be a severe blow to the
Diamond Match company, as Moore was
the principal backer OF the stock on the
Chicago market, and, although the stock
prices do not always reflect the condi-
tions, yet the very high price at which he
kept the Diamond match stock undoubt-
edly gave great prestige to the company
in business way. It is only another
sase where the public has been misled in
the value of the stock on account of the
high point to which speculation carried

Watson,s Crowd Unhappy.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. A statement made
to the Journal to-day by the leaders OF
the Peoples party, assembled here for the
state convention on Thursday, shows that
Senator Jones' interview, which southern
Populists consider a repudiation them
selves, has completely changed the situa-
tion.
@. H. McGregor, business manager of
Tom Watson's paper, said: II am CON
vinced that the national committee will
be called upon to put out a straight Pop
ulist candidate for president, and, as the
understanding seems to be that Norton
has the first call for the nomination, l
suppose the ticket will be Norton and

Rig Elury In Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. A.a 5othiRgs In years has
caused such a furry in commerciaicircles
here as the collapse of the Moores in their
efforts to maintain control of the Diamond
Match company and the New York Biscuit
company. The following notice was
posted on the door of the stock exchange
to-day: "The Chicago stock exchange
has adjourned subject to the action of the
governing committee.
Signed cpd. WILLINs, secretary"
Excited groups of brokers and traders
were discussing the situation, everyone
connected with the exchange endeavoring
to convince everybody else that there was
no cause for alarm. They announced
that the officials of the exchange we're
endeavoring to form pool to buy up
the stock Of Moore Bros. to hold until
the furry was over.
At meeting of the covering commit
tee a resolution was adopted for the ap-
pointment of committee to confer with
the bankers and Moore Bros. to arrange
a basis of settlement. This action had
the effect to modify the excitement.
ALLAYINa KxoITEMENT.
Those best posted declare that there is
no fear of a general panic. 1t Is esti-
mated that Moore Bros. lost between $4,-
100000 and $5,00O,OoO in the Diamond
match deal. Some say it wiped out every
cent of their fortunes.
The Chicago News bureau says that the
banks are taking the failure very COM
fortably. Their only anxiety seems to
be to help their customers. The anxiety
of the banks Is not so great as to the
Diamond match loans, as regarding the
New York Biscuit company whose stock
was marked up from under 30 to over
par. There is hardly rich man in town
not in some way interested, usually al
money loaners. :.
Boston and Baltimore are also largely
interested.
The Chicago bankers, who hold about
$4,O0O,OOO worth of the Diamond match
stock as collateral, will not press borrow
ers for settlement. To do 80 might pre-
cipitate panic, which the banks arr
bound to avoid at all hazards.
The banks have decided to accept tht
stock Of the Diamond match company
owned by Moore Bros, at its cash value
of 40.
Probably the heaviest losers, aext tt
Moore Bros, are the brokers doing bust
ness for them on exchange.
BANKER MrToHELL's VIEW.
John j. Mitchell, president Of the I'LL
nois State and Savings bank, said: 9Th
8 banks will not lose, for they had antici
pated Just such crash and had decided
not to loan any more money on Diamond
match stock than they already had loaned
100 per cent"
