WILL BE A, BIG MEETING.


 Great Demand for Tickets to Hear
 Burke Cockran--Arrangemen to
 Seat 1000 More Than Could Get in to
 Hear Mir Bryan-Cordial Support
 from Democrats All Over the Union
 New York, Aug. 16.--The Burke Cock ran meeting will be big one. At the headquarters of the democratic honest money league it was learned yesterday that there Is such a demand for tickets that the crowd promises to overflow Madison Square Garden.
 The persons making the suggestion that the meeting be held in the open air said that so great had been the de- nland to hear Burke Cockran's expos- ure of the fallacies of the Bryan free silver plea that the committee, follow ing the examples of the great union meetings of war time, should have the meeting in Union Square as no building in the city can contain half the people who want to hear MT Cochran. The open air meeting is not now practice able, as the Garden has been engaged and all arrangements made
 It is the purpose of the committee on arrangements to have the meeting con- ducted along patriotic lines. At Chi cago MT. Bryan allowed three red flags to be waved before his without protest. At his Madison Square Garden meeting there was marked absence of the na- tional colors. Only two small Amer ican flags were seen on the floor
 At next Tuesday evenings meeting the Garden will be lavishly decorated with the stars and stripes, and every person present will be handed an Amer ican flag The band will play noth- ing but national and patriotic airs. A double quartet will be present. to lead in magnificent chorus of ''The Star | Spangled Banner and My Country Iris of Thee.''
 When 10000 voices unite in these grand anthems, and 10000 flags are flut- | tering all over the house, the effect pro- duced will be one of the most inspiring | and memorable incidents of any polit- ical campaign in the history of the city. The following Is a list of the sound money men who were heard yesterday | accepting the appointment as vice pres- | idents for the meeting Tuesday night. | They are in addition to the list already published:

 The cooler weather yesterday kept many people, who would otherwise have gone to, the shore at home. How ever, all the cars leaving the green on the various lines were well filled dur ing the afternoon, but. the crush of travel of the past few. days was not visible. The New Haven steamer Rich ard Peck brought large crowd of ex- cursionists from New York city. They arrived at ? p. m. and left about an hour later. Many remained on the boat while few took rides on the street cars and others short walks. The sail was beautiful one, the breeze on the sound being in delightful contrast with the sweltering weather of the past week The excursionists indulgsd in ice cream and other light refr eshments.

HERE'S A FUSION BROTH FOR YOU.

Texas Republicans, Populists and Gold
Democrats Agree to Cooperate.
Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. S.-The
State Republican convention was called
to order this afternoon at 1 o'clock by
State Chairman Grant.
The number of delegates in attend
ance is larger than that of any conven-
tion of the party ever held in Texas. :
N. w. Quincy, the negro delegate
from Galveston, was elected temporary
chairman, this being the result of a
determination to harmonic.
At the caucus last night and to-day
it was determined to fuse with the
Populists and gold Democrats in the
State on the following basis: The
Republicans to cast their votes for
the Populist State ticket and on an
electoral ticket composed of eight Re
publicans, four Populists and three
gold standard Democrats to be in the
field.
The Populist committee and the gold
standard committee are here and agree
to the fusion on that line. 1T is claimed
this will give the Populists the State
government and defeat Bryan electors
in Texas. The convention will not get
to work under permanent organiza-
tion until tomorrow.

THE soUTHERN's NEW ALLIES.
Two More Roads Join it in it's Efforts
to Crush the Seaboard.

Washington, Sept s.-There were
significant extensions of the railroad
rate war in the South to-day when two
more important railroads made
schedules of new freight tariff
rates to conform to those of the Sea
board Air Line The AtlanticC Coast Line
and the Norfolk and Western filed for
NAL notices With the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The Coast Lines
new tariff is from Richmond and Pc
tersbuTg, and the Norfolk and West
ern from Roanoke, both applying to
the competing points on the Seaboard
Air Line. The rates in both of these
instances correspond to those of the
Seaboard from Norfolk and Ports
mouth, and involve competing points
in Virginia, the two Carolinas and
Georgia.
The Baltimore Steam Packet CO.,
which operates with the Seaboard Air
Line, has filed notice of reduced rates
from Baltimore to Memphis on freight
for the Mississippi.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is investigating the question of
whether cut rates violate the long and
short haul clause of the Interstate
Commerce Act. The Commission is
doing this on an informal complaint.
The rate war would be still further
complicated if the Commission should
decide that the rates did violate the
law and not, as claimed, come within
the scope of the exemption allowed
under certain conditions.

HIS AFTERNOON SPEECH.
1t Was Delivered in Capital Square to
About 5000 People.

About 5000 People.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. s.-The second
home coming of Mr.. Bryan, after his
nomination was marked with enthu-
siasm, and large crowd of his fell
low citizens flocked about the depot to
shake his hand and cheer for him.
There were about 1900 people in at
tendance at the train and two bands
of music headed as many Democratic
and free silver clubs. Prominent men
were there and as the nominee showed
himself from the car they took him
in tow to his carriage. Cheer after
cheer went up and the bands came
in with their share of noise. The two
silver clubs and the citizens in car
riages, headed by the bands, formed
procession which escorted Mr.. Bryan
from the Burlington depot to his home.
There another crowd had gathered and
it was some time before the candidate
could get inside his house on account
of the delay occasioned by shaking
hands with the people.
An audience of 5000 people heard
Mr.. Bryan in the afternoon. He spoke
from stand erected on the north front
of the State Capitol building.
Bunting had been used profusely in
the decoration OF the capital and four
white horses were attached to the car
riage in which the young nominee was
taken to the State House. Seated with
him in it were Mrs. Bryan, Chairman
Humphreys, of the local reception
committee, and Chairman Groot, of the
Silver party's notification committee.
A long procession escorted them from
the postoffice square to the capitol
grounds, and as they came in sight a
salute was fired by a local battery.
Mr.. Bryan was cheered heartily when
he appeared on the stand. He found
there Col. Holcomb, John A. Creighton,
of Omaha; Ignatius Donnelly, and
other prominent free silver men. He
was introduced by Chairman Hum
preys, of the Lincoln committee on re-
ception, President of the Columbia Ma
tional bank, who was formerly a Re
