CHICAGO, ILL, Aug 19.-Before leav-
ing for New York tonight Senator Thurs
ton accepted as conclusive proof of the
falsity of the charge the statement made
yesterday by Mr.. Bryan that he had never
been in the employ of silver-mine owners
or silver associations. Senator Thurston
at Madison, Wis, recently quoted the
charge as originally made in the editorial
called on Mr.. Bryan to say if the accusa-
ton was true or false. The Senator said
to-day:
"Mr. Bryan's word is enough for me
and l shall be glad to say as much to the
people of the country in my next public
address. Mr.. Bryan has denied the charge,
which was made by Democratic news
paper, and I have no hesitation in believ-
ing him."
As to Senator Stewart. the Nebraska
Senator said: Senator Stewart has ar
rived at that state of political second child
hood which entities him to great consid-
Grafton and sympathy and l don't think
any more need be said on that score"
Executive Committeeman Durbin, whose
special work in the National campaign is
TO visit Western States and examine the
methods and progress of conductin the
State campaigns, left to-day for Detroit,
where he will meet the chairman of the
Michigan committee and other campaign
officials in that State and report the result
of his investigation to National headquar-
ters.
Henry @. Payne received reports to-day
from numerous officers of party organiza-
tions on the Pacific Coast, all of which in
Dictated rapid growth of gold standard
and protection sentiment. Wyoming is
also giving the headquarters people some
encouragement.
United States Senator Wolcott of Colo
RADIO stopped short time at headquarters
on his way West. He said he was making
no predictions as to his State further than
to say that Mckinley would get safe
majority.
A letter from w. A. E. Debeque of
Debeque, Colo, says that peculiar con-
ditions exist in the rural districts of his
State, and that old Republicans are COM
ing back as much on protection as the
money issue.
Chief Hahn of the speakers bureau had
several callers to-day who had been speak
ing in the West, and they reported larger
audiences than they had known IN pre-
vious campaigns, the chief interest being
to obtain full information on the money

Fusion With SiJcerites.

Delegates May Agree Upon q Plan of
Fusion With StJcerites.
PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 19.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention organized at 8
O'Clock to-day, with M. B. Gerry of La
Plata County in the chair. No contests
appearing, the temporary organization
was made permanent. Washouts west de-
Iayed the arrival of many delegates, and
the progress of the convention was slow.
Owing to concert in the evening, I'M
der the auspices of the Trades Assembly
of Pueblo, for the purpose of raising fund
to send speakers into the East to present
free-coinage arguments before labor or
CARNATIONS, the convention took a recess
until 10 P. NJ, at which time committees
on resolutions and order of business will
report.
The delegates have arrived at no defin lite
plan for making overtures of fusion with
Silverites of other parties, whose conven-
tons meet next month, and they cannot
agree upon a plan in caucus. They are
willing to agree to indorse Senator Teller
and congressman Bell and Shafroth for
reelection, but on all other points great
diversity of views are extant. Whether
by committee with delegated power or
by an adjournment of the convention to
meet again the fusion ticket is-to be pre-
pared only vote in the convention can
determine.
The situation of the convention is made
more perplexing by reason OF numerous
gubernatorial candidates in the field
whose respective friends are working to
save them in the fusion compromise.
Tie two committees will jointly report
indorsing Teller, Bell and Shafroth.
Then committee OF seven will be named,
with full power to act jointly with other
parties, to effect union of silverites upon
fusion tickets. Before this convention ad-
journs, however, full State ticket is to be
named, from which the committee must
select all candidates given to the Demo-
Gratis upon such fusion ticket.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tions was adopted; but before the report
OF the committee on order of business,
which includes the fusion question, was
considered, the convention adjourned upon
a rollcaIl at IL 80.

Isle. Nothing direct has been heard from
President Cleveland, but the attitude of
those near him is taken by the leaders of
the movement as sign that it has his
support.
The local preparations for the conven-
ton are going right along without an in
terruption. The local committee has col
lected sufficient funds to meet the ex-
penses of the gathering, and the hall COM
mittee has completed its plans. Ample
arrangements hare been made by the
press committee and the telegraph COM
panies to handle newspaper matter with
facility and dispatch.

could and we honestly believe that there can
be no permanent, no general prosperity In this
country, until we stop the conspiracy OF those
who would make gold the only standard OF
the world and make al other things depend
upon that alone. We believe that while the
struggle for gold goes on other things must
become cheap; that as we increase the de-
mand for that one thing we must decrease the
price OF all those things that we change for
gold, and we believe that this falling of prices,
compelled by legislation, is destructive OF en-
ergies, the industries and the hope of the toll
ing masses of the United States and all over the
world. [Applause.l
1 beg of you. when you are considering this
question, to remember that this is great Ma
ton; that it is made up of 20, 100000 people.
Each is the equal of every other. l have WIS.,
tied some of your beautiful villas along the
Hudson. I have been charmed with the
beauty that commends them, but beg you,
when you study this question, TO remember
that those who, instead of occupying these
magnificent places, must toll all day under the
summer sum- have just as much interest in the
money question as anybody else.
Remember that this question cannot be
viewed from the standpoint of any class OF
people. 1t reaches every man, woman and
child in the land, and you should make your
view broad enough to comprehend them all,
that the prosperity of the we'll TODD rests upon
the prosperity of those who toll and that you
cannot have financial policy which brings
distress to those who create wealth without in
the end reaching those who rest upon these
toilers; and more than that. you cannot have
policy which brings prosperity to the masses
without that prosperity proving of benefit 20
all mankind.
beg you that in your consideration of this
question you will study the interests of all and
not merely the interests of those who may be
permanently benefited by the rise in the value
of dollar, and when you have made up your
mind desire each OF you to feel that you have
the right to express your view. The ballot
was not given in order that one man should
vote for many or that one man should compel
Others to vote with him or purchase their
votes 1t was given in order that each might
make his ballot represent q free mans will,
and then, when each one, studying as he will,
voting as he likes, expresses himself, we make
a majority, and then we all support the one
who is elected and hold up his hands while he
administers for us the Government, whether
we agree with his views or not.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and Mr.. and Mrs.
Perrine had an eight-mile ride through the
moonlight from Rhinebeck to Upper Red
Hook. 1t was late when they reached the
home of the Perrines.

ON. LEGAL EDUCATION.
Chairman McLairs Talks to the "LaU
CasrricuIaSn."

Chairman McLGin Talks to the "LatU
CurricuIatm."
SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 19.-At $3.50
the association met as q section of legal
education in Convention Hall. Chairman
McLain delivered an address to the Law
Curriculum" After briefly reviewing the
origin and growth of the section of legal
education and discussing the best methods
to be pursued by the law student in his
legal education Chairman McLain con-
tinued:
SIT must be admitted that the quickness
of perception and the maturity of judg-
ment without which legal attainments
are impossible, may be strengthened, on
the one hand by the studies which are
deemed proper in a broad liberal and
thorough collegiate education, but also on
the other by familiarity with the practical
affairs. Therefore, great as is the advantage
to be derived from college training, we
must not ignore the corresponding advan-
tage which may have been obtained by
business experience.
II cannot refrain from saying word as
to textbooks-for whatever the theory of
instruction may be, textbooks will be
found useful on some topics. We have
special books in abundance. We have
voluminous collections of cases and brief
synopses of principles. And if 1 am not
mistaken some of the old fashioned law
yers' books remain the best textbooks for
students on their particular subjects. In
no portion of the law is the skill OF an
accomplished lecturer. or perhaps should
say expounder, more valuable than in this
beginning work of the students course.
1.-TWO important topics of the law which
undoubtedly ought to be introduced into
the first years course, inasm UGH as they
lie at the foundation of so many collateral
subjects are those of contracts and torts.
Sufficient knowledge of the elementary
principles applicable to the ownership of
real and personal property may be given
in the course of elementary law, to enable
the student without detriment to dispense
with the thorough treatment of these
topics until his second year. Criminal
law is subject involving elementary con-
ceptions easily mastered by a student, and
both in Its substantive part and its proce-
dure it is well suited to presentation in
the first years course. For the second
years work the more important subjects
are real and personal property law. For
the third year l would propose corpora
ton law and the law CT partnership; also
constitutional law, international law. con-
flict of laws and general instruction"

1t Is Denounced as DeItEsion by Tim
Otay ReGEy's Supporters.
DUBLIN, IRELAND, Aug. 19.-At meet
ing OF the supporters of Timothy Healy,
held in this city last night, resolution
was adopted denouncing the coming Ma
tionalist convention as mere attempt OF
John Dillon to bolster up his own lead
ership and to promote his personal ambi-
ton. Another resolution was adopted ex-
pressing satisfaction lat the Irish land
bill had been passed by Parliament.
Healy declared that so long as Dillon
was at the head of the Nationalist party it
would never achieve success.
Murphy, the chairman, denounced the
convention as a delusion and snare for
Irishmen in foreign countries.

FORT WORTH. TEX, Aug. 1.-the
State Democratic Convention reconyened
at 8 o'clock this morning. Hon. G. L.
Potter of Cook County was elected per-
manent chairman without opposition.
The convention voted almost unanimously
to abolish the two-thirds rule under which
the party has always worked. 1t also
voted to nominate the three Railroad Com
missioners at once.
A committee representing the Texas
Populist party called on Chairman Dudley
of the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee and requested that he appoint a
similar committee of his party to confer
on proposition to fuse on the electoral
ticket, composed of seven PopulIsts and
thirty eight Democrats. Dudley refused
to appoint such committee. The Popu-
lists now threaten to fuse with the Repub-
hcans, giving their vote to the Republic
can electors in return for Republican votes
for the Populist State ticket.

But That Will Not Affect Watson's Can

didacy at All.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 19.-Un-
less the wishes of Chairman Butler and
the members of the executive committee
are set aside Watson, the Populist candi-
date for the Vice-Presidency, will not be
officially notified of his nomination for
that place. Chairman Butler last night,
while declining TO make any specific
statements on the subject, said that the
failure to notify would not be unusual.
for the reason that the Populists had
never yet notified their candidates.
Chairman Butler denied that any pool.
ing arrangements for circulation of itera-
ture had been arranged between the
Democrats and Populists, but intimated
That they would work together in the ut
most harmony. 1t was decided by the
committee last night that there should be
one head for the Populist Executive Com
mittee and Congressional Committee.
Senator Butler will therefore preside over
all work.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 19.-The
Collector of Customs at Jacksonville, Fla,
has been directed to release the steamer
Three Friends if in the judgment of the
Collector the facts in the case warrant

over its edge, and, jamming his frown
firmly down on his brow, cried in a
harsh, coarse voice that was audible
above the rattle and rumble OF the en-

Adams apple. ''Whazzer mazzcr?"

Dried Olive. for Food.

Manager j. A. Filcher, of the Califor-
MIA board of trade, has received a COM
munication of rare interest from south
crn California regarding the raising of
olives for drying purposes. If dried
olives possess all the qualities claimed
by their advocate n new industry may
be developed in this state and econom-
zeal persons be furnished with food
product, palatable and highly nutri-
tious, which will cost not more than
FIVE cents a day. w. s. Manning, OF
ballard, Santa Barbara county, has sent
a sample of the dried fruit for the in
spection of the board of trade. He con-
tends that no product on earth contains
as much of the elements of nutrition
necessary for the sustenance of the
body aus n ripe olive. The dried fruit
will, of course, contain all of these
qualities, and all that Is necessary 10
render il pleasant to the taste is soak
ing and sailing ii. The Gil of the olive
is equal tO meat and the pulp is as good
