SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.
Movement Gaining Munh Greater Force
Than Is Hoped.

Indianapolis, August 23.-Sound money
Democrats who drop into the headquarters
of the national Democracy here to look over
the ground and size up the prospects for the
convention declare that the movement is
gaining strength beyond expectations and
developing a force they little hoped for
when they launched it. 1t is generally un-
derstood that the New York delegates shall
be permitted to name the temporary chair
man and is the supposition it will seat
Bourke Cochran. For permanent chairman
there has been talk of Senator Villas of Wis
consin, but during the last few days Villas
has loomed up in large proportions as posi-
bility for the Presidential nomination. If this
seems probable when the convention meets
the permanent chairman will probably be
taken from the South.
Chairman Bynum says: "Any rumor to
the effect that Cleveland has written to me
OF in any way indicated any indisposition
toward the nomination of a ticket is utter
ly without foundation.

MORE ACTIVE CAMPAIGN.
Cubans Realize That Some Decisive Work
Must bo Done.

Philadelphia, August 3d. 1t is said that
within the next month, Gen. Estrada Pal
ma, the minister plenipotentiary of the
Cuban republic to the United States, and
Gonzalez Quesada, secretary of legation,
with other prominent supporters of the re-
volutionary cause, will go to Cuba to consult
with President Cisneros as to the future con-
duct of the battle for freedom.
Generals Gomez and Maceo are both said
to have expressed the opinion that nothing
can be accomplished under the present
system of fighting. They do not want to go
on struggling as during the ten years war
with no hope of gaining the freedom of the
island unless they secure recognition as bel
ligerents from the United States. To do this
it is claimed by both the commanders they
must inaugurate a campaign OF most de-
structive character. Heretofore when parts
of their armies have invaded town, they
have simply driven the Spanish forces out
and then have themselves retreated. Their
plan now is to make forced marches upon
all of!the interior cities and after effecting
their capture, destroy them. They cannot
do this however, without the sanction of
the Cuban Junta in the United States, and it
is for that purpose of settling the issue thus
raised that Palma, Quesada and Others have
been summoned to the island.
How these leaders will get to Cuba is q
mystery to all save themselves. 1t is stated
on good authority three large expeditions
are to sent out from different places in this
country, and that they will unite and land
at designated point. The vessel will be
armed and prepared to fight If overtaken by
Spanish cruisers. At the same time three
large expeditions go out and there will be
other ships sent to the coast as decoys.

sEWALL's WITHDRAWAL.
A Matter Which tho PopuIists Continue to
Discuss.

Washin gton, August 23.-Chairman Jones is
said to be defraying the prelim mary expen-
ses of the campaign chiefly out of a $40, 900
check which Candidate Sewau is reported
to have given him as his contribution to the
campaign fund just after the Chicago con-
vention and which is said to be by far the
largest gift he has received. The silver
mine owners are represented as being gen.
orally unwilling to contribute, believing
tn lat in the long run they would not profit
by Bryan's election. Notwithstanding Mr..
Sewall's acknowledgements for him
though not as large as the Democratic man
ayers hoped for when they nominated him,
believing that he was much richer than he

Maine election next month, which Is expect

managers may yield to the demand by the
Populists that Sewal be withdrawn in favor
of Watson. but this is idle talk, for the DEM

Sewau could carry Maine or any other New
England state for the Democrats, and they
have no intention of attempting to withdraw
him. They have formally rendered, and
he has formally accepted. the nomination
of the Chicago convention, and nothing but
his own resignation OF his candidacy could
take him off the ticket.

AS A MATTER OF COURTESY.
Bryan's Visit to Wolfert's Roost VIII Be
of Social Nature Purely.

Albany August 23.-Ex- State Senator Nor
man T. Chase, chairman of the Democratic
city committee was asked today whether 1t
was true that Bryan was to be entertained
by Senator Hill at Wolfert's Roost, while
in Albany. Mr.. Chase said: eyes, as mat
ter of personal courtesy to the distinguished
visitor to Albany, Senator Hill, though the
committee has invited Bryan and his wife
and a few personal friends to dine with him
at Wolfert's Roost on, Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock.and Bryan has accepted the invita-
tion.'
Asked whether Senator Hill would preside
at the meeting In the evening on City
Falls square when Bryan makes speech,
Chase said: eThe meeting is to be very
simple in character and of brief duration
Bryan will not speak more than half an
hour and possibly not longer than 20 min
utes. Almost Immediately after he finishes,
it will be necessary for Bryan to start for
the railroad station. The people will be
anxious only to hear the Democratic candi-
date for President. No one could address
with advantage, and after he concludes the
address, it is likely every one will wish to
shake hands with Bryan. So there will be
SO much confusion, we think 1t impossible
to have a speaker follow him. While the
citizens of Albany are always delighted to
hear their distinguished fellow townsman,
Senator Hill, the committee of arrangements
does not think it best to ask Senator Hill to
speak or preside at this time.''

QUAcK PANAcEA.
Mr.. Proctor Says Farm ers of Vermont Are
Not Taken IL by Bryan Remedies,


New York, August 23.-The managers
at Republican National headquarters are
deeply interested in the campaign in
Vermont, where stats election will be
held on September l. They have no fear
that the state will go Democratic, but
they are anxious that big Republica n
majority should be piled up to prove that
the silver sentiment among the farm ers
Is not as strong as the Chicago managers
says it is.
Vermont is as much an agricultural
state as Nebraska, and Its vote, therefore
will give some idea as to how farmers
regard the Bryan ticket and platform. If
tho usual Republican majority is in
creased, the influence Of the vote is like
ly to be felt In all the agricultural states
Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermnot ar
rived in New York this morning, after
making a canvass of MS state. This Is

about 20. 600. This year / am confident

this prediction op the thorough knowl-
edge of the political conditions in Ver-
mont. The farmers have informed them
selves on the financial question, and they
know that free silver will add nothing to
their prosperity. Some of them were
affected by the craze at first, but an edu-
catlonal campaign has had its influence.
THE result in Verm onsFwill show the
people of the country that farmers are not
to be taken in by quack panaoea. -

that the Executive Mansion is in the

The White House is not torn up at present

twenty-four hours. A week ago painters

being made on the interior. There has
Deen no general renovation or repair of

however. and 1t is in as good order today
as it ever is when not occupied by the

that the President, "who is to be in the

column all the following states :Colorado,
Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada,

There is nothing to base complaint
upon the Republican policy in the present
campaign. If free silver is a menace to
our financial credit and standing among
the great ations of the world, free trade
is Rrayer menace to the laporers;
farmers and manufacturers of the United
States. Hence we have united IN
harmony and accord every character and
condition of our citizenship. The money
which is good for the rich Is In a greater
degree beneficial and valuable TO the
poor. The policy which would encourage
the employment Of thousand of idle men
in this country will bring equal prosperi-
ty and certain dividends to the men who
own the manufacturing establishments.

American prosperity and American

WITH SOP ELECTORAL VOTES.
Careful Es Inmates Gives Mckinley Thai
Number.

New York, August 22-David g..
Baille, staff correspondent of the Press
at Canton, wires that the little wooden
house on North Market street is the most
accurate thermometer of the Republican
party in the United States of America to
day. Thousands and thousands of letters
come in Major MoKinley's mail, and
thousands of kilograms.
After q long thorough scrutiny of
letters and the kilograms, I am able to
give Major McKinley's own estimate of
the probable results in November.
Mr.. Smith, Joseph P. Smith, who used
to be state Librarians of Ohio, is and has
been the statistician for the Major. He
is proximus to Mckinley.
For the following information which
en- bodies the results of Major McKinley's IS
mail, am indebted to Mr.. ). P. Smith.
and to Mr.. John M. Downey. Mr..
Smith, speaking for Major Mckinley,
said to me today:
1t is early to prognostioate the result
of the Presidential election, but reports
from competent and careful men in all
parts of the Union and in almost every
state warrant me in the belief that Mo-
Kinley and Hobart will carry at least 28
states and receive fully 302 electoral votes
and majority of the popular vote.
II am confidens from these reports
that Mckinley and Hobart viii carry the
following states, with the electoral votes
here specified:
California, 8; Iowa, 10; Connecticut,
6; Kansas, 10; Delaware, 3; Maine, 6;
Illinois, "a; Maryland. s; Indiana, Is;
Massachusetts, Is; Michigan. IA; New
Jersey, 10; Minnesota, 9; New York, So:
Nebraska, s.; North Dakota, 3; New
Hampshire, A.; Ohio, %; Oregon, a;
Pennsylvania, SO; Rhode Island, 4:
South Dakota, A; Vermont, Al Washing
ton, 4; West Virginia. Wise oonsin, IL,
Wyoming, 81 Kentucky 13.
1t will be observed that in this esti-
mate are included three Southern States,
Kentucky, Maryland and W est Virginia.
Several other states usually Democratic
are also included, namely, Connecticut,
Delaware, Indiana and New Jersey. In
New York since 1855, the chances between
the parties have been about even. In my
Judgment, the states that I have named
are almost certain TO 90 Republican. The
protection sentiment is strong in all Of
them, and believe that the free silver
heresy, under the cool and unerring
Judgment of the great mass of our
sensible American oitizens, Is certain
to blow up. as did the visionary schemes
of John Law regarding finance, now
more than $50 years old.

DISEASE YIELDS TO TREATMENT.
Some of Peculiar Methods Pursued BY
Silver Strikers.

Washington, August 23.-ssT think he di-
sease is yielding to treatment said Chair
man Hanna Of the Republican national
committee, yesterday,in answer to a ques-
ton as to the progress of the campaign.
"The educational work which is being done
is having its effect" he added. 81 regard
the situation as everywhere encouraging.
1t has not yet become defined enough for me
to give you figures, Gen. Grosvenor is back
from Europe, and he perhaps may give you
some.
"The silver men are carrying on a vigor-
Gus campaign. In Chicago they even hire
sidewalk debaters to get out every evening
and talk free silver in the streets.
"There are no acute cases of factional diff
ferences anywhere now in the party. The
issue his so oyershadowing that they have no
time to fight among themselves. The Dela-
ware and Virginia GASES are settled in a
satisfactory manner, and everything Is
going on harmoniously."
The method of silver campaigning to
which MI. Hanna alluded to as being prac-
ticed in Chicago is also being pursued else
where. Charles L. Kurtz of Columbus, men,
Der Of the national committee for Ohio, said
for the past month In the cities and manu-
featuring towns of his state, the same tactics
have been tried. In Ohio, according to Mr..
Kurtz, the orators generally have con-
federate who pretends to be a gold man.
After listening to the argument put forward
by the stlverite, this confederate declares
loudly is conversion to the 16 to doctrine,
hoping that voters not cognizant of the trick
will follow his example.
Though MI. Hanna does not expect any
thing more than the usual majority in
Maine, it is hoped that Vermont, whose state
election follows, will show decided in
crease in the Republican vote.

All Factions United on Him for Gov

THE GREAT NEW YORKER HOW.
EVER PERSISTENTLY REFUSES.
Says DO Friend of His VIII Consider Him
For the P1ace-Other Candidates VIII
Withdraw in His Favor If He VIII Con-

Saratoga, N. Y, August 23.-The guber-
material situation is unchanged so far as the
probable action of the 1853 delegates to the
Republican state convention which meets
here Tuesday next is concerned. Every
thing depends absolutely upon the decision
of Thomas G. Platt. There is no doubt that
Platt is close to the hearts of all the Repub-
lican leaders, and they nearly all have
pressed him to accept the nomination for
governor.
Platt has again and again frowned down
this suggestion, but the question of his nomi-
nation was discussed with renewed vigor to-
day and was the all-absorbing topic. Platt
however, was firm, and said that no friend
of his would further agitate the matter.
The anti-organization men have been ia
miliar with this attitude of Platt and 1t was
to the surprise of everyone that they today
Joined the Plattites in taking up Platt as
candidate. Ex-Congressman Jas. J..
Benden of Syracuse, waited upon Platt and
stated to him that in his judgment, Platt was
the one man to nominate for governor
Messrs. Aldridge and Fish and other candi-
dates, said that Platt was the only man in
whose favor they would withdraw from
the race. All this was made known to Platt.
His declination o consider the mattor,
however, was more emphatic than ever
and he refused to any longer discuss 1t. If
Mr.. Platt's name is mentioned in the con-
vention he says twill be against his ex-
press desire and consent, and he is strongly
opposed to tho suggestion by some of his
more ardent heutenants that he should be
compelled to take the nomination by stam-
peding the convention tor him.
Aldridge claims to have the support of
nearly 1876 of b75 organization delegates 1t
will take $50 votes to nominate Hon. Ham
ilton Fish, the speaker of the assembly, is
as confident as ever of his ultimafe success
Many of the delegates express the opinion
that Wadsworth will carry off the nomina-
tion. Secretary of State John Palmer has
telegraphed that he will be candidate for
governor before the convention
