London, July H.-The Times has an
editorial this morning commenting upon
the nomination by the Populists of Will
lam j. Bryan. which says: We do not
venture to prophesy. but it is clear that
Mr.. Bryan's chances are very far from
desperate, even II. as his enemies say. he
Is all mouth, and will eventually be
found out. 1t does not follow that he
will be found out before November.

"Cyclof 80 Davis. IN a signed state

the beginning. Mr.. Taubeneck. the ma I.
tional chairman, and i were considered
the founders of the plan which contem-
plated n straight ticket on straight
populist platform, and then provided
for a union OF the electors. The other
was considered the plan of Mr.. Rankin
Of Indiana. the treasurer Of our commit
tee, and Senator Marion Butler OF North
Carolina. IL contemplated the nomina-
tion OF Bryan for president and a
straight Popullst for vice president.
This would throw the responsibility on
the Democrats either to withdraw Sewall
or TO be responsible for the division OF
the electors through the country. We
left cur opportunity In the defeat of our
candidate for chairman. The plan was
TO nominate Burkett OF Mississippi or
Donnelly of Minnesota for temporary

election of Allen as permanent chair

considerable accre.ion TO the opposition.
Our flank movement was then TO accept

Chicago, July 27.-Among those who
returned from st. Louis here, was
gentleman who saw and read the sup
pressed dispatch from Mr.. bryan to SEN
ator Jones, chairman OF the national
Democratic committee. He possessed a
fairly good memory, and gives the fol-
lowing as the substance Of the document
about which there was so much talk and
excitement during the last day OF the
Populist convention. What is subjoined
may be relied upon as being substan-
TALLY correct:

The negro at the desk was Corbett,

eyes. sir" said Corbett, what can |
do for vou?" The gentleman wanted
to get one of Settles speeches which
Corbett said was not ready yet. Settle
called at the post-office this morning
for his mail, as stated to me at the
post-office. and made no correction
there as TO the statement made in the
News and Observer. Moreover, the
negro is so swelled up by his new posi-
tion that the basement corridors are
thoroughly aware of his promotion.
/ put against Settles alleged denial
these facts, and challenge Mr.. Settle
to deny the truth of them to those who
so informed me. / can Introduce hlm
to them at any time. Nor do l think
they believe Corbett is not Mr.. Settle S
private secretary, and so the three
negroes were gathered in a sleepy,
hollow corner roost this morning.
In this connection / wish to say that
I make no statements in my letters
that / do not stand personally respon-
sible for and am able to substantiate."
It will be observed that in the ex-
tract from the Charlotte Observer, Mr..
Settle admitted that he employed
Corbett.
The following extract is from the
News and observer of February 9Th:
II wired last night the story of Mr..
Thomas Settle and his negro private
secretary. At least that is how the
negro introduces himself, and how he
regards himself, and how others re-
gard him, as proved by my despatch.
When Mr. Settle went TO the post
Office for his mail yesterday morning,
why did not he correct the impression
of the postoffie officials, If their inn
preston was erroneous? lie must
have known what their impression was
because it was stated in the News ana
Observer of both Saturday and sun
day that this negro introduced himself
to THE postoffice as his private secre-
tary. Mr. Settle was quoted as saying
that there was no truth in the state
ments that the negro was his private
secretary; the negro made THE state
ment: then why did not he tell the
postoffiee men what he is alleged 70
have told the Raleigh correspondent OF
the Charlotte paper?
There is no necessity of going fur
Their into the matter than to say for
the benefit of those who are anxious to
know the whole truth, that if Mr.. Set
tie denies the truth of the three asser-
tions made in the beginning of this
story, he viii be guilty of uttering
fslsehood.
This is as good time to settle this
matter as any other. Mr.. Settle must
stand or fall by his own action. But
he shall not, with impunity, be allowed
to deny what is true, as far as it con-
Germs any substantiated account of his
public actions, as reported in this pa
per.

A FINANCIER PRETENDS TO WANT
THE GOLD STANDARD FOR
LABORERS.

"Ask a farmer why he wants BIZ
metaIlism and he says because it would
be good for him. He is not worrying
about somebody else. He has troubles
enough of his own. 1t is the same
with a laboring men or business man
or professional man. They say they
cannot prosper unless the great pro-
ducing classes on which everyt thing
rests also prosper. They want BIZ
metallism because it is for themselves,
as well as for the mass of the people.
Ask financier why he favors the gold
standard. VIII he tell you because it
is good for him? You never heard one
of them say it. (Laughter.) They
want something that will help some
body else. They say they want it so
that the farmer, when he gets dollar
when he gets dollar-(great
laughter) will get a good dollar. They
want it because it is good for some
body else. Tell them that these peo-
pie whose interests they plead are will
ing to risk the effects of bi-metallism
and they rise to the full height of their
moral stature and say, shall we let
these people hurt themselves-them-
selves? Great laughter) We will ram
the gold standard down their throats
whether they want it or not, because
we love them better than ourselves =

He Accuses Palmer Of Acting in Bad
Faith With Him

indianapolis, September General
Bragg was seen BY the Journal cor
respondent as soon as the result of the
ballot that nominated Jno. NJ. Palmer
became apparent, and was asked to
what he attributed his defeat He did
not conceal the fact that he felt that
he had been badly treated.
''NTy name only came into this con-
vention." he said upon the assurance,
repeated over and over again, that
General Palmer would not be candi-
date. and these assurances were given
ne this morning before the convention
assembled. [ was not brought here to
be made a spectacle of nor to be SIAN
dered. but came in good faith, believ-
ing that General Palmer would not
permit the use of his name.
II was not in favor of Watterson for
the Presidency, not because l had any
thing against him, but because his
nomination would have been putting
the gray before the blue and thought
it ought not to be that way. | thought
the blue ought to be first, and if | had
had any idea that General Palmer
would have accepted the nomination,
would have been for him, and our
State would have been for him also,
from the first
1T is little unkind to man at
my time of life to be treated this way,
and it was certainly unkind in General
Palmer to come in at the last moment,
or permit his friends to bring him into
the race. l confess that l do not like
such treatment, but this was of part
that has been played by others.
''They started stories about me,
about which l knew nothing and for
which there was no foundation, and
circulated them so adroitly that they
did not reach the ears of my friends
nor myself till their poison had done
it's work among the delegates. There
was not one word of truth in them, but
they have accomplished their purpose
just as well as if they were founded

A Gold Lake In Alaska.

The latest story of wondrous gold
find in Alaska is of = lake whose bed is
literally paved deep with gold dust as
ponds are floored with mud. Hans
Christian Pande, name suspiciously
near that of the great teller of fairy
stories, an old sea captain. told the
story of his find on his arrival in Seat
tie q few days ago. The lake is 1000
Yards long, 400 yards wide and $50 feet
leep. 1t is fed by water from a glacier.
and it's only outlet il little stream two
feet deep, but Of incredible swiftness.
According to Mr.. Pande's theory, based
On assays of some sand from the shores
and bottom of the lake, the glacier has
for centuries been bringing down gold
from the mountains and depositing it
IN the cup-like basin of the lake. The
assay showed eight to ten dollars a
cubic yard, and on this basis man
could alone blast out the side of the
lake, drain OF the water, and dredge
out his gold. Chicago Inter Ocean.
