CHICAGO. ILL.,, Aug. 4.-Tobias Castor,
former National Committeeman from
Nebraska, but now worker for Mckinley
and gold standard, was a welcome
visitor at National headquarters to-day.
He is industriously engaged in distrihut-
ing gold literature and travelling through
the West. He does not believe in the
efficacy of a third ticket. Speaking for
his State he said the Dem oerats and Re-
publicans were very much at sea over the
money question, and the other party
lines would be drawn as closely as in pre-
vious ca ampaigns. He believed that if the
Republicans held off little on the Me-
kinley tariff idea in speeches and litera-
ture gold Democrats by the thousand
would vote the Republican ticket.
A National Wheelmen's Mckinley and
Hobart Club was organized at headauar.
ters to-day. The National committee will
give the organization its Endorsement and
supply its members with handsome badges.
1t is intended to extend the organization
throughout the country. Chicago is ex-
pected to contribute 10000 mem bers.
A. B. Kittredge. National committeeman
from South Dakota, was one of the callers
on Committeeman Dawes and Chief Hahn
of the speakers bureau. He said South
Dakota's votes were all right with the help
of gold Democrats.
Mr.. Hanna will not be able to finish his
political business in the East in time to
preside over meeting of the Western ex-
ecutive committee this week.
E CANTON, OHIO, Aug. 4.-Major Me-
Kinley had a number of callers to-day.
There were no persons of National dis
tinction among then. but there were several
very interesting people. and nearly all of
them told of prominent Democrats in their
several States who had announced or who
would soon announce their intention to
vote the Republican ticket in Novemb Der
next.
Reuben Herman OF Baltimore who is a
friend of one of the electors at large of
Maryland on the Republican ticket, told
Major McKinlev that the revolt of the
sound-money Democrats in Maryland
grows in force as the days go by, and that
it is sweeping over all parts OF the State.

ably the Death Knell to
Watson.
NO CONCESSIONS TO BE MADE,
Meanwhile the Bourbon Leaders Are
Patching Up Flowery Speech
for Bryan.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 4.-Sena-
tor Jones, chairman of the National Demo
cratic Committee, was jubilant this morn
ing over the returns from Alabama. Still
he said he felt no surprise at the victory,
because he knew that the Democrats
would win, and it is quite likely that Mr..
Jones knew perfectly well yesterday morn
ing before the first ballot was cast what
the result would be.
The rout of Populists in Alabama may
be regarded as the death kneIl of Watson s
Vice Presidential boom. Yesterday after
noon Senator Jones felt so confident OF
Democratic victory in Alabama and so en-
couraged by reports of Populist weakness
in Georgia which Congressman Russell
of that State brought him that he loosened
his tongue and heaped upon the Watson
ties of the South great contempt. The
Alabama victory encouraged the Arkansas
Senator to announce at least that Demo
cratic managers will make no concessions
to Populists who are adherents of the
Bryan and Watson ticket and that Mr..
Bryan will not even acknowledge his
nomination by the Populist convention.
At the Populist headquarters here there
are the usual cries of fraud, charges whic h
are probably quite true, but which will not
alter the situation. At Republican head
quarters the results from Alabama will be
carefully studied as soon as official returns
are made public. The defeat of the Popu-
lists, and particularly the methods by
which that defeat was brought about, may
rebound to possible benefit of the
Republicans.
Senator Quay while down South "tar-
pom fishing" is expec ed to acquaint him.
self very thoroughly with the extent of
the Populist dissatisfaction and lndigna-
ton, and it is possible that some com bl-
nations may be arranged of benefit to
Republicans. 1t is, of course, useless to
expect Mckinley electors in Alabama.
The managers of the Republican Presi-
Dental campaign are too well acquainted
with Democratic methods in the South to
expect that. But it may not be impossi-
BILE to effect coalitions between Republi-
cans and disgruntled Populists enough to
bring about the defeat of some Democratic
mem bers of Congress.
1t is understood that Senator German
himself will read Candidate Bryan,s great
speech to be delivered by him at the Madi-
son-square Garden in New York and will
carefully "edit" it. In this connection it
may be stated that Mr.. German, like all
the other Democratic managers, has been
excessively annoyed at charges of pla-
giarism which have been successfully
made against Mr.. Bryan's most beautiful
phrases.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. 4.-The
conference of the anti Bryan Democrats
which was held here to-day was hastily
called only few days ago. Nevertheless
there were several scores of the delegates
present. There were leading Democrats
from number of counties in the State
and great deal of enthusiasm and earn
estness was displayed. A committee of
five was named to take steps to perfect or
ganization throughout the State by
naming State com mittees. Resolutions of
Endorsement of President Cleveland's ad-
ministration, and of Secretary Carlisle
especially, were passed by rising vote.
A recommendation was made to the State
Committee to bring about as soon as pos
sible conventions for the nomination of
so1nd-money Democratic Congressional
candidates in every district. The COM
mittee was also instructed to issue an
address to the Democrats of the State
setting forth the purposes of this move
ment.
DES MONIES, Iowa. Aug. 4.-The
sound money Democrats OF Iowa met here
to-day and registered their formal and
vigorous protest against the platform and
candidates of the Chicago convention.
The meeting was called only week ago,
but it brought out almost 2G0 men who
have been leaders in State conventions for
many years. Their sentiment was unani-
nous. They demanded an organized re-
pudiation of the Chicago convention bv
the sound-money Democrats and the
nomination of a third ticket. A ringing
resolution was adopted indersing the
Cleveland administration.
The conference was called to order by L.
M. Martin, temporary chairman for Iowa,
and Judge John Ciiggett of Mason City
was named as chairman. Judge Cliggett
made ringing speech, in which he de-
clared the position of the conferees. He
said they were invited to choose between
Populism under the name of Democracy
on the one hand and Republicanism with
McKinleyism on the other. The Republi-
cans offer sound money; true, but they
demand McKinleyism, the abhorrence of
every Democrat, as their price. Between
the two there is no choice. Sound -money
Democrats must have their own organiza-
ton and conduct their own educational
campaign against bad money on one hand
and McKinleyism on the other.
At the conclusion of the address a reso-
luton was adopted indorsing Cleveland S
as the most statesmanlike administration
in trying time since that of Lincoln.
Then q resolution was adopted unani-
monsly declaring the sense of the meet
ing that sound-money Democratic ticket
shOuld be nominated. and that Iowa
should send representative to the In
dianapolis conference, with full power to
take whatever steps were necessary to
carry out the decision of the conference.
Another resolution declared the necessitv
for an organization in the State, and in
accordance with it State Central Com
mittee was elected, one member from each

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. At is
stated at the Chinese legation that Ii
Hung Chang, the great Chinese Premier,
rs expected about the end of next month.
This statement contradicts the general
assumption that Cnang will not come to
Washington until President Cleveland
returns from his summer outing at Gray
Gables, so as to receive the great Chinese
statesman with proper official ceremony
at the Nations capital. His expected
presence in Washington has detained the
horde of secretaries, consular officials and
clerks which comprise the legation here,
all of whom are bitterly com mplaining at
their enforced stay in Washington during
this sweltering weather. A great recep-
ton will be given Chang in Washington,
and several members of the Chinese lega-
ton have alr-ady gone to New York to
arrange for his reception at that port OF
entry.

Democratic State Convention this after
noon developed and carried into effect, so
far as it was able without the consent Of
the Populists, its plan for fusion in
Kansas. complete electoral ticket was
chosen, but not nominated, which is a
unit for Bryan and Sewall, without regard
to Watson, and it was agreed that if this
proposed ticket was accepted by the Popu-
lists the Democrats would nominate the
gresham at large.
The committee on resolutions reported
a platform reatfirming the National Demo-
cratic platform and demanding a resub-
mission TO vote of the people the pro-
hibition amendment to the constitution
of Kansas. 1t was the committee on rules
and order of business that devised the
fusion plan agreed upon without discus
sion. In accordance with the recon- men,
dations of this committee the delegates
from each district made it's choice of
candidates for Presidential electors at
large, all of whom were recon mended to
the convention, but were uot nominated.
The following committee was then ap-
pointed to visit the Peoples party con-
ventlon at Abilene tomorrow ana make

FROM sILrER POINT OF vIEW
Bryan Receires Callers WhO 1aIk for
HIS CaMse.


LINCOLN, NEBR., Aug. 4.--Among Mr..
Bryan's callers to-day was George w,
Thompson of Tacoma. Wash, National
Com mitteeman OF the National party for
his State. He was prominent in the con-
yention of the SiIverites at ST. Louis,
having been chairman OF the Washington
delegation and member of the committee
OF five charged with outlining platform.
In the convention he was member of
the committee on platform and deolara-
ton OF principles, and is one OF the sub
committee of seven appointed to complete
the work. Mr.. Thompson told the repre-
sentative of the United Associated Press
that Washington was being rapidly or
ganized for Bryan and Sewell by late Re-
publlcans, such as the present Attorney
General, w. G. Jones, who is the chairman
of the State Central Committee of the
Silver party; Ex-Governor Miles G. Moore,
leading banker, and Judge Garner OF
Spokane, as members OF the executive
committee.
II have no doubt that the State of Wash
ington will cast her vote for Bryan and
free silver" he said. "The county in
which live is already organized in all
the voting precincts In one precinct
having sixty-fve Republican voters, twen-
ty.three of them have declared for Bryan.

among my old Republican friends in Illi-
nols, and / am confident that illinois will
be found in the silver column this fall.
AS to Iowa the conditions are not so prom
islng, though the sentiment for free silver
is gaining ground. and l feel that Iowa,
too, will wheel into line in time to be
counted for Mr.. Bryan"
Mr.. Thompson said he had been en-
gagged in the banking business in Iowa
and IN Chattagnooga, Tenn, and had been
student of finance for twenty-five years,
making contributions of articles during
that time to baAking publications. 81

cording to the Democratic proposition, be
adopted it would require about half more
money TO pay off this Indebtedness than
under the present financial standard. He
said that if frees silver won gold would be-
come a commodity to be tratficked in by
the unscrupulous, who would oppress all
debtors contracting TO pay in that money.
