OF the Democratic Ticket, and That
Senator Murphy Will Join in the

ing the World will say:
"Senstor David B. Hill will support
the nominees of the Chicago convention.
a formal announcement of his position
1t is said will be made public within q
very few days"
The facts. the World will say, were
learned by Senator James X. Jones,

com mittee, on visit to Senator Hill
at Normandie by the. Sea Wednesday
night.
Senator Jones returned TO the city
this morning, accompanied by Lawrence
Gardiner, secretary of the Democratic
Congressional campaign committee,
who went down to Normsndie Wednes
day night. Senator Jones remarked
significantly:
Hill is all right" Tho chairman,
according to the World, had become
somewhat anxious over the continued
silence OF the Senator from New York.
He desired to find out exactly where
the Senator stood and how long he WAS
going TO stand there.
Mr.. Gardiner, it Is said, made the
arrangements for Wednesday nights
visit at the instance of Senator German.
Neither OF the principals cared to have
the matter reach the newspapers.
Mr. Jones dined with Mr.. Hill st he
Normandie and met State Chairman

tremely frank. The Worlds article
continues:

Mr.. Hill, It is said, told Senator
Jones he would stand by the action
OF his own State convention and work
loyalty for Its nominee; that, he thought,
was all that could be- asked of him"
The Worlds article then continues to
say that Senator Jones received the in

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 6.-Thomas <.
Watson opened his Vice Presidential
campaign to- night with al address of
two hours in length before ap audience
of 5000.
Mr.. Watson appealed 1T the outset
for non-partison hearing, declaring
that he spoke without bitterness in

pillow, who pulled the hoe, who Yielded
the hammer. II God gave him strength,
he declared, he would plead the cause
OF these people through the pens Of
the reporters present before 65, 900, 900.
He entered into an enumeration of
the reform demands of the Peoples

crimes and misdemeanors in the grant

pie, who were compelled to use them,
and in the corruption Of the ballot.
He explained at length his course in
leaving the Democratic party after hav.

run as straight Democrat, while he
had made his race on the Alliance

only chance for Jeffersonian Democracy
was to unite the farmers of the South

Copyright, 1896, by the A. Pr

Madrid, August 6.-Trouble Of
serious nature is being tomented in
spain, especially in the province OF
valencia, by agents OF the Cuban insur-
gents. The minister Of the interior,
Senior Cos Gayon, yesterday, replying
to question in the chamber Of depu-
ties, admitted that numoer of riots
had occurred in VAlencis, and when
asked to explain the csuse OF the dis
turosnces said that they were caused
oy friends OF the Cuban insurgents,
who hoped thereby to prevent tho
departure Of further reiniorcements to
the troops OF Cuba.
Hitherto the popular demonstrations
have been attributed 10 the matter OF
taxes; but while the government is
wiling TO admit thai the rioss have
been instigated by the agents of the
CUBAN revolutionisss IL Is generally ad-
United that the roots OF the trouble are
much deeper and that Ii is being nour-
ished by the natural feeling OF alarm
ana dismay ct the apparent utter in
aoliity OF the government TO cope with
the situation in Cuba. That the large
Spanish army in Cuba must still be
further and heavily reinforced Is looked
upon here as being confession Of weak.
mesa upon the part OF she adminissra-
tion and as an admission of the growing
strength OF the Cubans.
In addition many letters have been
received from different parts Of Spain
from relatives of Spanish soldiers
serving with the army in Cuba. and
they tell such terrible tales OF sick
ness, privation, incompetency and mis-
management, TO say nothing of lack OF
pay, that dangerous feeling against
sue government has arisen, and 10 gain
Ing strength day by day.
Madrid up TO the present has been
quiet but signs are not wanting 81 at the
spirit OF discomfort Is abroad and that
Inc Efforts OF the government to gain
support by trying to throw the blame
for everything upon the United States,
the chief bugaboo OF Spanish politi-
clans, will nos much longer avail.
