WELL, HONORS ARE EASY That's the Latest Summary of
 the Situation. THE POSSIBILITY OF A BOLT Platforms to Burn-koIb Said to Have One Concealed on His Manly Person-Md-
 night Gossip.

St. Louis, July 20.-This has been day of conferences and attempted com promises among the populists. The ac- tive propaganda instituted yesterday by the partisans of MT. Bryan was continu- ed today with more or less gratifying results. If the Bryanites have made con verts, however, they have been offset by the new arrivals today, many of whom doggedly refuse to accept any nominee not directly connected with the party or ganization, and this leaves the situation still in doubt. At midnight both fac tions are claiming a victory with nei- ther enjoying perceptible lead over the other. The situation was tersely summed up by Jerry M. Simpson, who said to- night that he expected to see the con- VentiOn nominate Bryan and SeWall fol- lowed by a bolt.
 Senator Jones of Arkansas, the chairs man of the democratic national commit tee is employing all the resources at his command to insure Bryan's nomination.
 Among the names mentioned as candi dates for the presidency by the middle Of the road" people are Paul Vender- Voort of Omaha, former republican and M-grand commander Of the Grand Ar n1S of the Republic and Eugene V. Debs, the railroad mems leader The latter, however, has declared that he will not accept a nomination.
 bitter contest is looked for over the numerous platforms suggested. Last night Albert Daggett of California issued his; tonight that of Cyclone" Davis of Texas is made public.
 Rumor has it that Captain Kolb of Alabama and Ignatius Donnelly of Min nesota have also declarations of princi- pies which they want to see adopted.
 Senator Butler of North Carolina has developed strong popularity and if he had reached the constitutional age of 35 he would probably be given the second place on the middle of the road" ticket. He is opposed to the nomination of Bryan.
 The suggestion advanced by some western men of nominating Bryan and substituting for Sewall southern man for the second place on the ticket is Eercely opposed by Stewart, Weaver and other of Bryan's supporters, who allege that it would confuse the voters and de- moralize the party. The southern popu- lists appear to be distrustful of demo- cratic promises, and feel that by indors- ing the democratic ticket theirs would be a barren victory, even though majority of the votes for the ticket were cast by the members of their own party.
 But few details of the proceedings of the convention have been settled in ad- vance. It was arranged today that Gen eral Weaver of Iowa shall place Bryan's name in nomination

JUST A STARTER,
But lts the Biggest Rate Cut Ever Made by a Southern Lne-The Seaboards
 Fight.

Baltimore, July 2O.-The war in rates which was inaugurated last week by the Baltimore Steam Packet company (Old Bay Line) and the Seaboard Air Line against the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Richmond Steamboat company Cork River Line) and the Southern-Railway company was revived today by further slashing of the tariff
 The Southern Railway company today met the reduction of 33 1-3 per cent on passengers and freight to points south of Baltimore, whereupon the Seaboard Air Line announced a corresponding reduc- tion on all business from Boston, Provi- dence, New York and Philadelphia to the south. and tonight went their competi- tors one better by cutting 33 1-3 per cent more off the old rate from Baltimore to southern points, The single fare from New York to Atlanta will be $15. It was formerly $24. From Baltimore to Rich mond and Norfolk the rate is $1, as against $3 before the war began. As low rates in proportion will be established to all points as far south as New Orleans. The cut of 33 1-3 per cent in freight rates covers all classes of freight in the terri tory as far east as Boston. This is the most sweeping reduction ever made In rates by any southern line, and it Is given out that it is only a starter.
 President R. c. Hoffman of the Sea board Air Line said today: "We are in the fight to stay. The controversy was forced upon us against our will, and whatever demoralization in rates ensues will be upon the shoulders of those who made the issue and not us"

MIR. BRYAN TO DELEGATES.
He Declares It Is Campaign of Principles
 Not Persons.

NOG 66fSODS.
 Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-Fifty of the Colorado delegates to the national silver convention reached Lincoln today at 1:15 D. m. en route to St. Louis, and called on MT. Bryan at his new headquarters in the Lincoln hotel. I. N. Stevens, one of the delegates at large, made an introduc- tory speech, in which he said that MT. Bryan would get 90 per cent of the votes cast in Colorado. Predictions quite as encouraging to MT. Bryan's candidacy were also made by other delegates. Those who spoke told MT. Bryan that the people of the Rocky mountains were for him and were going to follow his lead in the campaign. In reply to the speeches MT. Bryan said:
 "The interest I have taken in the money question is not due to the fact that we are producing silver in this coun- try, nor do I believe that those of you here today would have different op.n- ions on the subject if you lived in states which did not produce silver. I have said time and again that 1 would be in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 if we did not produce one ounce of silver in the United States It is not be- cause we produce either silver and gold but because we are in need of both, that l am in favor of the restoration.
 "In so far as you have expressed your selves in terms of personal compliment to me, while I cannot be indifferent to your kind words, we all know that this campaign Is not going to be conducted on personal lines. I believe that our op- ponents are men of pure, noble lives and upright character. II is not a contest be- tween men. It is contest between great principles, and if I should be elected and if Mir. Sewall should be elected it would not be considered a declaration of the people that we are personally more mer- itorious than our opponents. 1t will sim ply mean that the voters of the United States believe that our policy is better for the United States than that of our opponents, especially on the one great question that towers above and over shadows all the others-the money ques- tion--and that we represent an American system of finance for the American peo- pie, while our opponents would have this government run on the European plan and our financial system run by those who are hostile to our interest"

UNDER AN UMBRELLA
Colonel Hubbard Thrilled the People at Moul- ton-Goodwyn Fell From His Perch.
 General Wheeler There.

Moulton, via Courtland, July 20.-(Spe- ciaL)-Twenty-five hundred people were in Moulton today. General Wheeler and Colonel Hubbard made enthusiastic speeches for the democratic party. Wheeler ripped Goodwin up the back for supporting the negro in preference to the white man, and his speech made a deep impression on the people.
 Colonel Hubbard confined himself al- most entirely to state affairs and the crowd was evidently with him. No house could hold the people and the speaking was in the grove. Notwithstanding the rail and threatening storm, the people would not leave and he continued to speak for an hour while an umbrella was held over him part of the time, this show ing how deeply the people were interest," ed in his address. It is a field day for de- mocracy.
 We were greatly disappointed in not having Captain Johnston with us to re- ply in person to Colonel Goodwyn, whose speech enlisted but little enthusiasm. Goodwin, while digging Johnston in the ribs, fell from his box, so you see the red -headed man downed him 200 miles away. Colonel Hibbard's rejoinder was scathing and blistering. All in all it was a victory for democracy.

At Mobile.

Mobile, July 20.-Mobile earned all five of her runs this afternoon, and had New Orleans beat hands down, but went up in the air in the eighth inning, and after two men were out made four rotten errors and let the visitors make four runs. Fisher and Hines played like anna teurs, and they alone are responsible for the loss of the game. It is the first game that Mobile has played since last Wednesday because of rain. The after noon was a beautiful one and there was a good crowd out to seen the game Honest John Kelly made his debut as a Southern league umpire, and his decis- ions on balls and strikes did not please the fans at all, as they claim he con- tributed to the loss of the game. New Orleans did some very daring base rum ming in the eighth inning, and when Fisher muffed two thrown balls at sec ond, on each of which he should have re- tired the runner, the team went up in the air and the visitors scored almost at will. Score:

BRYAN THE MAN FOR HIM.
Millionaire Simons of Wisconsin Leaves the Re- publican Party and Gets on the Chi
 cago PIatform-His Reasons.

Kenosha, Wis. July 20.-A great sur prise was sprung in political circles of this section by the announcement that z. G. Simons, by long odds the wealthiest man in southern Wisconsin, has declared himself unqualifiedly in favor of the elee- tion of Bryan and Sewall and has indors- ed the entire Chicago platform. MT Si- mons Is president of the First National bank, owns large business blocks, Is president of the Northwestern Wire Mat tress company and of the Northwestern Telegraph company, whose wires now form, under lease, a great portion of tha northwestern system of the Western Un- ion Telegraph company, and controls large holdings In railway stocks. He has always been an unwavering adherent of the republican party and an advocate of high protection. He says that the time has gone by for high tariffs and that in the advocacy of the money question the people who made the platform in Chi cago acted in the true interests of the people. His two sons have also joined the party.

BASEBALL.
At West End This Afternoon.

At West End park this afternoon low CTS of the national game will have an op- portunity of witnessing a great exhibi- tion. As interesting game as has been played this season can be looked for, as both the teams of the CoIonials and Phil hedonians are in excellent trim.
