the nomination of candidates by sound
money Democrats. He would have the
new platform declare for sound money
and a tariff for revenue only, two planks
which he believes to be cardinal princi-
pies Of true Democracy.
Immediately after he returned Satur-
day on the steamship Paris from his Ed
ropean trip he jum1ed into the thick of
the present political fray. He declared
unaltera bly, against the Chicago platform
and denounced the attitude Of his fOrme''
associates III Tammany hall. 1t is pre-
dicted that he will be a potent factor in
the sound money national convention
that viii probably be called 10y the
conference at indianapolis next Friday.
Should he be a delegate, which is eX-
tremely likely, he will advocate his above
plan with all his weli-knonn vigot ard
support from the East. as in this section
of the country sound money Democrats
are as a rule opposed to Il third ticket.
Mr. Cochran has no hesitancy in ex-
pressing MS views. When asked for
his opinion on the present political situa-
ton he replied:
i regard it as the gravest in the his
tory of the country. exceeding IL import
ance the crisis of 1860. The movement
launched "a Chicago is an attempt to
paralyze industry by using all the powers
of the government to take property from
the hands OF those who created 1t and
place it in the hands of those who covet
it. | decline TO follow Mr.. BRYAN in a
crusade against honesty and the right
of labor"
''Will you support Maj. Mckinley out
right, or do you favor the nomination of
another Democratic ticket?'
Il believe that all Democrats who are
so thoroughly in favor of sound money
that they place the defeat of Bryan
above the interests of any organization
Or party should meet in convention for
the purpose of considering the form and
method by which they can give the great
est efficacy to their opposition. For my
own part. | do not believe that the nom
ination of other candidates for President
and vice-president, however eminent and
deserving they might be personally or
politically, would serve any useful pur-
pose. Nevertheless it is very important
in movement of this character that
men intending to rupture the PARTY ties
Of a lifetime should be sutained by a
sense of association among themselves
That end could he attained by the adop-
ton of a platform declaring for sound
money and tariff for revenue only"

Beer Combi,Ac is Solid.

Chicago. H., Aug. 1.-The report was
in circulation yesterday that beer in Chi
cago was selling at 81 barrel and that
the brewers combination was on the
verge of collapse. The fight with the
Oberman Brewing company of Milwau-
kee was assigned as the cause of all the
trouble. An officer of the association
denied the story in toto. He said the
agreement was working now satisfac-
torily and that all the parties to it were
in accord. The report was attributed to
the action of a man who at one time.
was the agent of Milwaukee company.
This mans agency had been terminated,
it is said, by his employer. and since
then he has bought beer from the Ober-
man Brewing company, which is not a
membe. of the association, and he has
sold this beer in the Chicago market at
such prices as ne could get. The Chi
cago brewers adhere to the schedule

New York, Aug. 1.-Attorneys for

Russia. 1t is alleged that these six and
nine others who survived the ordeal
were placed in an unventilated compart-

up to their hips in order that they might
evade the Russian authorities and es-
cape from the country without doing
military service. They objected to en-

SAYS: Some six weeks ago President
\. b. Stickney, of the Chicago and
Great Western, threw Il bOmbshell in
the camp of competing roads at spe-
cial meeting of interstate commerce
commission ut Chicago. This was
the first intimation of the existence
of several gigantic schemes in the
grain carrying line which took root
in the mind of Stickney and are made
practically public property by the re-
turn from Europe of Ansell Open
helm, whose mission was to secure Il
large sum of money necessary to the
promotion of the project. Oppenheim
returned with S5.O00,0O0 he secured
there for that purpose. 1t may be
Drle1y stated tllaI II is lle lHJeutlOn
of the enterprise to erect a series of
great elevators reaching from the west
to the seaboard, the first of which is
now in course of erection at Kansas
City. One each at st. Joseph, Omaha,
LeavenwOrth, Topeka and Minneapo-
lis. with two large terminals at st.
Paul. one at Buffalo and one prOba-
bly, at Liverpool, will be necessary to
the scheme. 1t is understood the Iowa
Development company and the An
glO-American Grain and Provision
company will combine with the Great
Western and will be practically con-
solidated. Between buying and
handling these concerns will largely
control the grain and provision trade
of the southwest. The precise de-
tails of the deal are difficult to be
reached, as the officials and those con-
cerned are reticent until the terms are
thoroughly settled.
