FAULKNER
IS JUBILANT
Does Not Believe Anything I'M
der Heaven Can Prevent the
Election of Bryan.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Sen-
ator Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic national campaign
committee, was jueilant over
the reception rendered Mr..
Bryan in New York last night.
Such spontaneous enthusiasm,
he said ne had never before wit
messed and II was a significant
fact he said that this enthusiasm
was manifested right iIls the
place where it has been claimed
there was great opposition to
the candidacy Of the man who
was the recipient of the remark
able demonstration.
Il do not believe anything I'M
der heaven can prevent the cleo
ton of Bryan" said Senator
Faulkner. IF you stop to con-
slider the situation for a moment
you will see it in the same light.
That the south will be solid for
the ticket no man really doubts;
that means 159 electoral votes
with which to start. We will
also carry every state west of
Iowa, with a total of 81 votes.
Add these to that of the south
ern votes and we have 220 or
but four less than the number
necessary to elect
The Rev. Sam Small, who ar
rived today from the Chautuquas
in Kansas, Nebraska and Il
linois, told the chairman that
people in the sections he had
visited were fairly wild on the
free silver question, and Re-
publfcans were fiocking to the
Democratic standard il droves.
He also brought word to the
commistee from the Hon. p.
Wat. Hardin. ex-Democratic
candidate for governor of Ken
lucky, that the committee could
count on an old time majority
in Kentucky.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Three United
States senators, Messrs. Shoup of Ida
no, Mitchell of Oregon and Nelson of
Minnesota, spent part of the day at
Republican national headquarters and
conferred with Chairman Hanna on or
ganization, plans and needs OF the
party in their respective states.
Senator Shoup is returning home
from an eastern trip prepared to lead
the loyal Republicans of Idaho in their
fight against boilers, Democrats and
Populists on the free silver issue. He
admits there is big fight before him,
but he told Mr.. Hanna to count on
Idaho in the Republican column.
Senator Nelson, who has been max
ing numerous stump speeches in Min
nesota, principally among the Scandi-
navianS, said:
''The sober second thought Of the
people in the farming communities OF
my state will change the minds OF
many who were first taught by the sill
verites. The Republicans of Minnesota
will remain loyal to their party prin-
ciples and be amenable to argument
and common sense on this money ques-
ton, The state is safely Republican. )"
Senator Mitchell is also on his way
home from the east, and intends open
ing the campaign vigorously as soon
as he arrives. He said the tariff, in
it's relation to wool especially, would
play an important part in the Oregon
campaign in McKinley's favor His
judgment was that the state would go
Republican.
Referring to the endorsement Of the
I,n
ulist party yesterday, Mr.. Hanna said
to a representative of the United AS
ISOLATED Presses:
My theory is these Populistic en-
dorsements will drive away regular
Democratic voters, but 1 don't know
anything about the net results. My
policy is and will be that of non-inter
ference with Populist conventions. In
spite of reports to the contrary, I have
never sent a man nor spent nickel
to influence the Populists one way or
another. L thirk it is best for the -prin-
ciples we espouse. New alignments are
of our country the Republican party
will stand boldly within it's lines"
Mr. Hanna said he had partly read
Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance and
made this comment:
L thought it very much of a skim
mer. From the general tone and direc-
ton of the speech, contrasted with the
platform, it seems to me Mr.. Bryan is
trimming his sails to catch the east
ern breeze of Democratic votes.''
General Powell Clayton wired Perry
Heath today from New York asking for
a copy of the Chicago convention pro-
ceedings for the especial use of Benja-
min Harrison on the stump. There are
no copies in existence aside from re-
ports in the newspapers, and this kind
of copy will be furnished the ex-presi-
dent.
Ex- congressman Horn was assigned
today to the following Iowa cities to
speak: Webster City, August "a; Den
ison, 26; Cherokee, 2S; Missouri Valley,
81; Bedford, September 2.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 13.-John
NJ. Garman of Luzerne county was
elected chairman of the Democratic
state committee this evening to sue
coed Robert Wright of Allentown,
whose resignation was accepted with a.
vote Of thanks for his service in the
past, and regret that he cannot see his
way clear to go along with the Chi
cago ticket and platform 1t was
agreed that the recent state conven-
ton at Allentown should be reconvened
in Harrisburg on Thursday, September
10, at u O'Clock for the purpose of fill
ing vacancies on the ticket, amending
the resolutions adopted at Allentown,
which means the substitution, if pos
sible, of a silver financial plank now
in the platform, and the transaction of
such other business as shall properly
come before the convention. A resolu-
ton to appoint a, committee to confer
with a committee of POpulists regards
ing a. joint electoral ticket was laid on
the table with the suggestion that the
convention was the proper body to
deal with that question. But all this
was accomplished with much speech
making and indescribable confusion.

HITS HIM HARD.
A rIenber of the rlethodist
Church Who Replies to Gold
bug Newman.

BOSTON, Aug. 13.-The following
open letter has been issued:
Boston, Mass, Aug. II, 1885,
Bishop John D. Newman, San Fran
cisco, Cal.-Dear Sir:-In your reply
to my open letter, you shift the con-
troversy, thereby concedfng the ac-
curacy of my corrections, bat you
are again in error. You say it was
better for me to leave my church
than pay our pastor So cents for a
dollar Just as challenged you to
name a single leader in the Populist
party who is also known as an an
archiSt, SO I also challenge you To
show me a 53-cent silver dollar. L
stand ready to pay you 50 cents in
gold for every so-called 53-cent dol
lar you can bring me. Now. here
is a chance for honest speculation.
The one price will be my profit,
but let me inform you that when
the coinage stamp OF this great
government is on it, there is no
such thing as a 53-cen- silver dol
lar. Again, if we don't pay our
pastor with silver dollars or green
backs, what can we pay him with?
Gold is out of circulation, gone to
Lombard street, London, on a va
cation and honest silver and green
backs stay with us as usual and
perform the work runaway gold
should do. 1 again object to your
CHASING Populists with anarchists.
In response TO my former reply, 1
received letters from Methodists in
all parts of the country demanding
that you retract your anarchist
statement or resign your position
as bishop in our church. l do not
concur in this, but you must not
turn our church in your district
into a political machine to insure
the success of any party; nei-
Their should you use your exalted
position in giving character to reck-
less statements which give false
impressions and accomplish much
harm. Too much license is taken
by public men in condemning,
maligning and ridiculing in
wholesale way millions of honest
men who differ with them on po-
litical lines. Again, the mission of
the Methodist church is especially
to protect and care for the COM
mon people, and not to fight the
political battles of the rich. Do
you think the cause of Christ will
be advanced by antagonizing these
millions OF honest. patriotic people
and thereby embittering Them
against our noble church? If the
moral character of either candi-
date was in question you might be
justified, but this is not so. They
are all patriotic, Christian gentle
men, with characters above re-
proach; therefore, in the name OF
thousands of Methodists who de-
plore your unwise political state
ments and proposed action, again
request you TO keep out Of politics,
that our church may not be con-
taminated by being dragged into
it. Your incorrect statements indi-
cate that you have given your at
tention to theology and not to
money questions, hence 1 advise
you to study it instead of talking it.
Yours for truth and justice,
