SEWALL THE THORN.
Donnelly Says They Like Bryan But
Not the Maine Man.

Minneapolis, July 16.-On the author
ity of no less a Pooh-Bah in Populist
politics than Ignatius DOnnelly him
self, the st. Louis convention of his
party will find itself confronted with
curious problem if the Endorsement of
Bryan is attempted. Bryan as a can
didate is all right, but according to
the Populist standard as much cannot
be said of his running mate, SeWall
of Maine, a banker, ex-railroad presi-
dent, protectiOnist and capitalist, all
rolled into one.
Said Mr.. DonnelIly this morning;
THE trouble arises that under our sys-
TEN of government We cannot vote Tor
Bryan and against Sewau at the same
time, even though we indOrse Bryan
alone and use his name on our ticket
with that of one of our own men Sew
all is president of a bank and eX-preS1-
dent of a railroad company and IT IS
but natural to expect that we would
prefer some one of Sympath1eS akin to
our own. The curious complication we
find ourselves facing if we indOrSe
Bryan springs from the fact that our
electoral system has been diverted
from it's original purpose into mere
party machine and that instead OF
ballot cast directly for candidate,
set of men is elected and entrusted
with that duty.
For example in this coming election,
the Republican set of electors in this
state might receive 100000 votes, the
Democratic set of electors represent
ing Bryan and SewaH might receive
10000 votes, and our own ticket stand
ing for Bryan and Jones might also re-
ceiVe 80, 600 votes. BY actual count
Bryan would have had 100000 votes cast
for him, and yet the state would go Re
publican, though Mckinley would have
so 900 less votes than the fusion candi-
date.
There is a wide difference of opinion
among our people and had some other
vice-presidentiaI candidate been named
would have been found much easier in
our convention" continued the sage.
LAS to the difficulty to which I have re-
ferred above, l see but one way of eS-
cape. That is to indOrse Bryan and
then to agree on one set of electors in
all states with the Democrats, they to
take half the vote and we half. Our
jority of the electoral college, as for in
stance, in the example 1 have used, the
Bryan ticket would have $50, 900 votes
in Minnesota to 10000 for the Repubn-
can ticket. In such case MinneSOta'S
whole IS votes would go to Bryan in the
electoral college while half of them
would count for the Democratic nomi-
nee for vice president and the other half
for the man who will be named for
similar place by the st. Louis cOnVen-
ton. Bryan would thus get IS straight
votes and our vice-presidential candi-
date get 9, where otherwise the Repub-
Hcans would sweep the state"
Mr.. DOnnelly considers Bryan practic-
ally a populist and says so. He knows
the Nebraska man we'll and while he
does not pretend to speak for anyone
save himself yet would be pleased at
his nomination if it can be brought
about satisfactorily

DEMOCRATS ARE LOYAL.
Albany Leaders Say They Will Not
Bolt.

Albany, N. Y, July 16.-Here are the
expressions of the leaders of the three
factions of the Albany Democracy on
the Chicago ticket:
State Committeeman John Bow says:
''Au Democrats should support the
ticket and platform. 1t shows the ad-
vent of a young and strong element to
control the party"
Norton Chase, chairman of the coun-
ty committee, says: 1.-The Democracy
of Albany has never bolted the nOni-
nees of regular conventions and will
not now. We are loyal to Mr.. Bryan. -
Edward J. Duggan leader Of the new
Democracy, says; Bryan and Sew
all and the truly Democratic platform
will sweep the nation. The work of
the convention will be the best thing
that ever happened to the ordinary
business men, the farmers and the
workingmen."

the water mains last evening and will
submit to the board of public works, on

Prof. Blake discovered ample evil
dences of the injurious effect of cleo
trical currents upon the mains and said
he would recommend to the board to
take the matter in hand at once. Some
of the larger mains, he said, were

WALL STREET WAITING,
Narrow Conditions With Uncertain
ty In the Money Market

Narrow Conditions With Uncertain
ty In the Money Market.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Bradstreet's finan-
cial review tomorrow will say:
waiting and narrow conditions have pre-
vailed IN the stock market all this week. The
assurance that the government bond issue
Will be fully subscribed does not prevent the
existence of a feeling of suspense pending the
closing of the bids Feb. 3. Even with
the notifications embodied in Secretary Car
isles circular Of last Thursday, which ex-
tends the payment after the first 20 per cent
In allotment over period Of three months
there is thought to be reasonable danger of
disturbance in the money market. The dis
solution OF the Morgan bond syndicate an
nounced on Wednesday last, was no doubt in
evitabie, as no reason could be found for its
continued existence. 1t would seem how
ever, that this action renders the preparations
to bid for the bonds and to pay for them
after allotment more scattered, and there
fore more likely to produce an effect on rates
for money, to say nothing of the probably in
creased Withdrawals of gold from the treas
ury which would result. Efforts to obtain
gold for bond subscription purposes continue
and premium CT one-half three fourths,
or little higher. has been paid for supplies,
the same rates being also quoted for legal
tenders. Large transactions on this basis
occurred early in the week, both in specie
and legal tender, though the immediate de-
mand has slackeled and the premium has
fallen off correspondingly. The anomalous
spectacle has been presented of gold both
arriving from and being shipped to Europe
at the same time, the former movement being
an artificial one, profitable only on account
of the premium referred to above. II the
statement is true that the specie received here
was simply return of amounts that had been
shipped from this country, and that in some
cases The original boxes had not even been
opened, 1t is evident that the process simply
increases the drain on the treasury reserves.
Under these circumstances it is easy to UNDER
stand both tho continued absence OF pub
lie support and the hesitation of large specu-
lative interests to move the market. The
absence OF selling pressure and the improve
ment OF prices for Americans in London
by the smaller traders during the early Fart
of Tie week. London's purchases were, how
ever, on limited scale, and presented the
closing of professional bear accounts in that
market, and at the close CT the week the
tendency abroad in regard to stocks was less
favorable"

FAVORABLE FEATURES.
Iron and Steel Improving and Ger

NEW YORK. Jan. 17.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
while general trade has not yet shown a
widespread tendency to revive from the hoi-
day depression, there are favorable features
In iron and steel prices and continued heavy
cereal exports. Reports from Baltimore, New
Orleans, Buffalo and in certain lines at Chi
oago, St Louis, ST. Paul and Minneapolis,
show business to be exceptionally slow.
Travellers are on the road, but returns are
Irregular in only a few instances, indicating
the usual volume of orders for spring deliv-
cry. Relatively greatest improvement is
shown in the request for dry goods, clothing,
hats and shoes Prints and ginghams are
only fairly active, with the mills at work in
spite Of the reduced demand.
Exports Of wheat flour included as wheat
from both coasts of the United States, were
100000 bushels this week, as compared with
3,710,0CO last week, 1854, 900 bushels in the
week year ago, 1885,, 900 bushels in the week
