state convention reassembled to-day.
The resolutions committee submitted q
platform endorsing the national popu-
list code of principles and arraigning

General Conditions Very Bad-Improve-
lnents in Atchison System.
New York, Aug. 6.--President 3. p.
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe company says regarding the
situation in the west:
There has been a large grain move
ment. A large corn crop has been
practically made, and there is every
reason to believe portion Of the old
crop will move out. The general busi-
ness for western roads, except in the
northwest. which move wheat and iron
ore, has since January been as dull as
at any time in the history of those
roads, with the possible exception of
the two or three months following the
panic of June, 1888 There is now,
however, prospect for a large corn
and good cotton movement. Regard
ing the condition of the Atchison, inn
provements are going on all the time.
We have no time for extensions, but
are spending in the neighborhood Of
$2,000,O00 on track improvements.

New York Aug. 6.--The Evening Sun
says. 1t was learned to-day that the
conference of Chairman Jones with
Senator Hill was without result SO far
as it related to the New York senator
attending the notification ceremonies in
Madison Square Garden or taking an
active part in the campaign in advance
of the action of the New York state
convention.
Lawrence Gardener, member of the
national committee for the District of
Columbia, was at the office of Mr.. St.
John, treasurer of the committee, this
morning. II was Mr.. Gardener who
arranged for the meeting between SEN
ators Hill and Jones and he was pres
ent at the dinner and conference of the
meeting between the two senators. Mr.
Gardener said:
why 1t amounted to nothing politi-
cally. Senator Jones and merely went
down to Normandie because it was
cooler there than in the city. We met
Senator Hill, and naturally there was
some discussion of political matters in
the course of the conversation, but
nothing definite. The two senators did
not go into any of the details of the
situation Their meeting cannot fairly
be called a conference, and it had no
political significance
Asked if Senator Fill would support
the Chicago ticket. Mr.. Gardener said:
Il cannot answer that"

Newport. r. l., Aug. 6.-Newport was
tonight in blaze of glory and a med

were everywhere. All over the broad
harbor, from the torpedo station to the
Thames, along the waterfront and up
and down Old Thames street, from the
state house to the city hall and from
the city hall to the opstofflce, and even
beyond these limits, electric bulbs
flashed, gas jets glowed and Chinese
lanterns cleaned.
Under all these lights. in various
tinted globes and shades, and beneath
masses of bunting, flags and streamers
Of all nations and Of every CLINE, the
main street of the city was buried in a.
mass of brilliant colors.
Beneath all, back and forth, up and
down, streamed vast crowds Of happy
| people, while in the still harbor innu-
merable craft of every conceivable de-
| scription were to be seen. And all the
while the fireworks blazed the big
searchlights on the warships and gov
ernment stations swept their shafts Of
| light around, and bands Of music, afioat
! and ashore, filled the air with sweet
strains Last nights fete and illumin-

| ceived in this city, if not, indeed, on
| this side of the ocean
| The water parade was the most mag
nificent spectacle ever witnessed on

station at the mouth, where the OUT

electric lights, south to Halidon Hill,
which was perfect bank Of lanterns
and electricity, the whole spacious har-

vessels outside Goat Island.
Everywhere whizzed and blazed fire.

strains of music from every style OF
organization, from a military band
down to a troupe Of colored ninstreis.
The procession Of boats wound its
length In and out and up and down the
harbor in a serpentine trail a half mile
long. Notable displays were the white

of the Newport Naval Reserve.
From the tiniest skiff up to this lat

Unique among the sites Of the harbor
was water fountain arranged BY the
torpedo station officers near their pier
and Illuminated by the station search
light. No prizes were announced to-

People at Atlanta.

Addresses an Audience of Six Thousand
People at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Aug. 6.-Thomas e. Watson
tonight made his first speech since he
was nominated for vice president by
the populists. He had an audience Of
6,000 Mr.. Watson said there has never
been since 1860 such political upheavaI
as at present confronts the country.
What caused it? Some say it is a de-
mand for the free coinage of silver.
That Is partly true, but there are other
things. This country is in revolt against
Grover Clevelandism, which is the twin
brother Of John Shermanism. We in
dict the government Of the United
States because 1t has dealt badly with
the people. This government has been
administered in the interest Of the rich
against the interest of the poor; of
the dollar against the man. The ma
tional banks have been given the pow
er to expand and contract the currency.
We demand that the government shall
take back the power to make money
and exercise it for the benefit of the
people. We complain that the govern
ment does not tax the bondholder and
the railroad kings as it taxes the poor
man.
OF the democratic platform and tick
ct Mr.. Watson said: ."They have taken
our doctrines, but do not like our doc
tors. They want to run our train, but
insist in putting the engineer off, Their
idea of fusion is the kind of fusion that
there was when the earthquake swal-
lowed the city,"
Reviewing Mr.. CleveIands adminis-
tration Mr. Watson said that the fin
gers of member of the cabinet at Mr..
Havemeyers dictation wrote the de-
mand of the sugar trust for protec-
tion. He criticises the administration
for the bond issues and for opposing sill
yer legislation. He stated that the
populists of the south and west would
cast their every vote for Mr.. Bryan
and would demand that Mr.. Sewall
should come down.
Mr.. Watson spoke with great earn
estness and aroused tremendous enthu-
siasm. There was long demonstra-
tion.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 6.-When

GEOKGTA PopULISTs.
watson's Crowd Holds Its State Conven-
tion To-day in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Aug 1.-THE state populistic
convention met here to-day. A. strong
movement was set on foot a few days
ago to fuse with the prohibitionists by
giving them the nominee for governor.
At caucus held late last night the
fusionists were defeated in their plans
to name the candidate for governor,
but the attorney generalship was Of
fered to the prohibitionists Instead of
DIR. Gambell the prohibitionist, for
governor, the rank and file seemed this
morning to be for General j. K Hines,
who was defeated two years ago. 1t
was said that Hines would decline, and
that then William Peck or Yancey Car
ter probably would be nominated. Peck
is middle of the road man. The pro-
gram was for the convention to in
dorse Bryan and Watson and demand
a straight-out ticket unless Sewall
comes off the democratic ticket.

tain 11S Corrections.
Washington, Aug. 6.-The first install
ment of the revised edition of Mr.. Bry-
ans Chicago speech was received at
democratic headquarters to-day and
will soon be circulated as widely as pos
sible, as there Is an enormous demand
for the document The changes have
been immaterial and do not in any way
interfere with the original text or
change the sentiment. 1t bears the
evidences of having been carefully gone
over by it's author, for the alterations
in grammatical construction and ver-
blage number 11S.
The work of revision, while quite
elaborate, has been chiefly confined to
the Insertion or elimination of words
and the transposition of words and
phrases. The grammar has been vastly
improved and the whole speech smooth
ed over into a more perfect master
piece.
Chief among the corrections made is
reduction from thirty to ten years as
the period fixing the time during which
the republicans have tried to secure an
international agreement. An entire
new sentence appears at the conclu-
sion of the paragraph, in which Mr..
Bryan defies the finding of record In
history where the common people of
any land have declared in favor of the
gold standard, this new sentence read
Ing as follows:
They can find where the holders OF
fixed investments have declared for a
gold standard, but not where the
masses have" etc.
The extracts from the speeches of
Secretary Carlisle are quoted, as is the
closing reference to the crown of thorns
and the cross of gold, thus removing
the charge Of plagiarism. The entire
speech has been re-paragraphed and
much attention has been given to the
punctuation.
"The speech will be found" said Sen
ator Faulkner to-day, "to contain only
such corrections as are needed to cor
rect the errors that might naturally be
found in a speech that had been taken
down stenographically and not subject
ed to the scrutiny of the man who de-
livered it,
