NEW JERSEY FOR BRYAN.
Democratic state Convention at Tren-
ton To-day Took the Form OF a
Bryan Ratification Meeting.

Trenton. Nj, Sept. .9.-The Dem ocratic
state convention assembled here to-day.
The sentiment was for silver, the gold men
for the most part having made no con-
test at the primaries.
Ex-Congressman Samuel Fowler, in
calling the delegates to order, said that
the convention had been called to name
electors to "cast the vote of the Dem
ocratic state of New Jersey for that
honest, able, fearless statesman, William
j. Bryan" This was i signal FOR great ap-
plause. &g
Ex-Congressmau Augustus W. Tuttler,
temporary chairman, spoke at some
length in advocacy of bimetallism.
A gold man, who had no credentials, at
tempted to speak. The delegates started
a Bryan campaign song. At the close of
the song the gold man had changed his
mind about speaking.

ming to understand that question and
that they propose this year to assert their
political independence of all political or
CARNATIONS and political bosses and vote
in their own interest of government and
stamp out the British gold standard in
this country, root and branch.
The Hon. William Jennings Bryan
The National Silver convention, with an
unanimity unexampled in the history of
national conventions in this country,
nominated you as the candidate
of the National Silver party for
the distinguished Office of president of
the United States. You are now the can
didate for the great Office of president of
three great political parties, of which the
Silver PARIS is not the least.
The convention selected a committee to
formally notify you of its action and that
committee conferred upon me the dis
tinguished honor of advising you of your
nomination as the candidate of the Ma
tional Silver party for the office of presi-
dent of the United States.
We are met, therefore, at this time and
place, for the purpose of performing the
pleasant duty imposed upon Us by the
convention. therefore, in obedience to
the wishes of the committee and of the
convention, hereby formally notify you
that you have been nominated by the Ma
tional Silver party as its candidate for
president and request that you accept
that nomination in the same spirit in
which it has been rendered you.
You are now the chosen commander of
e grand army composed of three grand
divisions, which is now mobilizing for
the purpose of fighting in behalf of hu-
manity on November 3, 1896, the most
important political battle of this or any
other age; battle which ia to determine
whether this nation shall be a province
of Great Britain and be governed and
controlled, as that nation is, by the money
barons of Earope, or whether it shall be,
as the fathers intended it to be, a free and
independent and sovereign nation.
The people who constitute that grand
army inspired as they are by the noblest
sentiments of patriotism under your lead
ership will, there can be no doubt, on that
day lift high their banners in triumph
over the defeated allied hosts of plutoc-
raoy.

Chairman Jones Leaves for New York.
Chicago, Sept. 9.--Chairman Jones, Of
the Democratic national committee, left
for New York suddenly to-day, leaving
word that he had gone east on "privste
business"
But it is believed that Senator Jones
will meet Treasurer st. John, National
Committeeman Sheehan, of New York,
and Senator Hill.
The New York senator is scheduled to
deliver several speeches in Illinois. Con-
siderable opposition has developed in
the state committee to Senator Hills
speaking in the rural districts and the
question will probably be settled before
Senator Jones returns.

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 9.-Up to l
O'Clock this afternoon the Republican
state convention had not been able to Or

before night. An immense crowd packed
the city hall to-day and the confusion was
SO great that the hall had to be cleared OF

no doubt that there will be fusion with
the Populists and gold standard Dem
ocrats. The Republican national COM
mittee has representatives here working
in that interest.

Donald Robertson and Miss Brandon

though a little too studied in his method.
His work in the dual role of Louis XIV,
King of France, and Castor, the kings
twin brother the man in the iron mask.
was very praiseworthy and won frequent
applause from the rather small audience.
Miss Douglas in the role of Marie DOS
tanges also came in for favors Of the au-
dence. Her performance in the third act
stamped her as an emotional actress of
much ability and the difficult scenes in
the fourth she gave with much delicacy
and discrimination.
The support given these two artists
was not all that might be desired, but the
performance taken as a whole merited a
much larger audience than saw it last
night.

went to Carbondale, securing shelter
in the house of one Miss Katie BLY,.
Palmer went to the house one day to
request his wife to return to him. He
was not only thrown down, but also
out. For this he had his wife arrested.
She in turn had his arrested for assault.
The grand jury found a true bill against
the wife, but ignored the charge against
the husband.
A promise to drop the proceedings in
duced Mrs. Palmer to go back to her
husband. She, however, remained only
two days. Mrs. Palmer went to Car
bondale on the pretense of securing her
clothing and failed to come back.
Out of revenge for this trick. Palmer
had his wife arraigned for perjury and
false imprisonment. Alderman Millar
allowed her to go on her own recogniz-
ance, while the grand jury can pass
upon the case. Palmer has also had a
warrant issued charging Miss Katie
Bly, with perjury.
