 A meeting of the Sound Money Marching club, veteran military division, will be held in Veru hall this evening, when twenty members will be admitted. The club is growing every week and it is expected that it will number sever al hundred by the first of October. A report from the uniform committee will be read this evening"
 The officers of this club are desirous that no one will confound it with the Sound Money Marching club, which meets this evening in Warner hall.
 There is nc rivalry between the clubs as both are enlisted in a common cause but only military men are eligible to the military division. All voters are eligible to the Sound Money Marching club, thus giving it a large number of voters to draw from.
 Both clubs will be in good working order after this evening.
 The republican conventions which were advertised to meet on Wednesday evening have been postponed until Thursday, because of several parades which are billed for the former even- ing.
 The open air rally of the silver dem- ocrats on Saturday evening was dis appointment to the leaders who had announced for several days that Sena- tor Stewart of Nevada, who has been stumping the state in the interest of the free silver party, would be present and address the meeting. Why the senator did not come has not been ex- plained He left this city on Fri day to go to Meriden. He spoke there in the evening, and that is the last that the local leaders have heard from him.
 In the absence of the Nevada silver advocate ex-Judge Blydenburgh was called on for a speech. It was on short notice, but the x-judge is one of those ready takers who are ready at a min- utes warning
 He was in good voice and kept the at- tention of the crowd who cheered at his sallies at the gold bugs"
 At the close of the ex- x-judges speech MT. Troup announced that MT. Martin had gone to the Union depot to see if MT. Stewart was on the train. But the western statesman was not with MT. Martin and ex-Judge Sheldon, who had been introduced to occupy the time un- til the silverite from Nevada should arrive, continued to tell the crowd how he came to leave the republican party after June 10 The ex-judge did not think that Senators Platt and Hawley sufficiently enlightened the people as to what would preserve the gold stand ard.
 Chairman Troup announced at the close of MT. Sheldon's remarks that MT. Stewart had not arrived, and that ex- Judge CalldfdU WOulu duufeSS tue meeting.
 Judge Callahan tolds the crowd that the gold standard had been maintained for twenty-three years and that 1t had proved a failure.
 The crowd dispersed at the close of Judge Callahan's speech, cheering Bry- an, as suggested by Chairman Troup.
 The silver democrats have not de- cided whether they want ex-Mayor Sar- gent for governor or for congressman. They are certain, however, that it is necessary that the ex-mayor should go on the ticket in one or the other place. That is what those who affect to think thereis some chance of winning-which, strange to say, there are a few-still believe.
 The truth is that the men who are closest to the directors of the Chicago campaign are not at all anxious that ex-Mayor Sargent should have seat in the next congress; for they think that he is not sufficiently welded to the free silver heresy, while he could do the cause no harm if he were to run for governor. As they ex-mayor is not at all stingy when he goes into a campaign they know that their ends obtaining money-would be accomplish ed in either case
