mittees went. AT one time the Popu-
lists demanded one elector who would
vote for Bryan and Watson in the
electoral college, but the Democratic
conference refused to accede.
Shortly after 4 o'clock the Demo-
cratic committee gave the Populists
until O'clock to decide on the ulti-
matum, with the exception that the
Populists could have the treasurer in
exchange for either the superintendent
of schools or the state auditor The
Populist committee paced back to their
convention, and the convention went
into the third executive session of the
day.
After one hours hard fight, during
which the middle of the road men and
the friends of Dubois adopted every
obstructive tactic at their command
the Populist convention agreed to the
Democratic ultimatum by a. strong ma
jority.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Ex-senator John
NJ. Palmer of Illinois was asked by a
correspondent at Taylorville, Illinois,
today if he would accept the presiden-
tial nomination if rendered him by the
National Democratic convention at In
dianapolis. Senator Palmer replied:
mo, sir. would not think of it. 1t
is impossible
What do you think the Indianapolis
convention will do, senator?"
1T looks now as though they would
meet and adopt a platform and then
adjourn without naming ticket
In that event what will the so
called sound money Democrats do

'"Then you would rather have McKin-
ley and protection than Bryan and

ator.
Yes" he replied. 81 think protec-
ton is absurd, but-I would rather have
Mckinley on that issue than risk Bry-

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

| Big Detroit Law Firm Whose
| Members Cannot See Eye to Eye.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 20.-The law
| firm of Dickinson, Thurber & Steven
son, which is composed of Hon. Don
| M. Dickinson, Henry T. Thurber pri-
waite secretary to President Cleveland,
and Elliott G. Stevenson, late chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee, had dissolved on account
! of the political differences which had
arisen between Messrs. Dickinson and
ton.
In the Chicago convention Mr.. Stew
enson posed as the mout1lpiece of Mr..
| Dickinson, who represented the admin
istration.
Stevenson was chairman of the Mich
| igan delegation, and also chairman of
the state central committee. He de-
clared he would resign from the latter
position, not ON account of the plat
form, but because of the treatment of
the Michigan delegation in the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Stevenson did resign, but his
resignation was not accepted, which
was considered purely a personal vic
tory rather than one for gold or the
admins tration. Later Mr.. Stevenson
resigned again and made way for Fred
A. Baker, a. silver advocate, retaining
a place in the committee, however.
MI Stevenson has been taking an
active part in the campaign in the in
terests of Bryan and Sewall.
This action on the part of Stevenson
so incensed Mr. Dickinson that the re-
lations between the members Of the
firm became greatly strained.
Articles of dissolution of the firm
were signed Saturday.
Mr.. Thurber will remain with Dick
inson. This law firm probably had a
larger revenue than any other similar
firm in the state. Mr.. Stevenson, be-
sides being one of the most conspicuous
Democrats in Michigan. is considered a.
lawyer of great ability. He came here
from Port Huron few years ago to
become the junior partner of the firm,
and Immediately took high rank among
| Detroit lawyers.

JONES IS EMPHATIC
No Trouble Between He and Att
geId---Is Supremacy Confident
of Victory.

CHICAGO, August 2O.-Chairman
Jones, Judge Johnson of Kansas,
and Daniel ]. Campau of Michi-
gan, members of the Democratic
national campaign committee, ar
rived this morning at the Shermam
house 10 begin the campaign work
for Bryan and Sewall from the Chi
cago headquarters.
Ex-Congresslnan Towle, who was
secretary of the Democratic bime-
tallic league, will act as chief clerk
for the campaign committee, under
Secretary Walsh, who is expected
tomorrow from Iowa, having re-
signed the secretaryship of the
State central committee. Head
quarters here will be at the Sher-
man house.
When interviewed, Senator Jones
quickly and vigorously disposed of
several newspaper stories, CHASING
them as falsehoods. He said:
Il made the discovery that Chi
cago newspapers, under favorable
circumstances, can print falsehoods.
They have developed row between
Governor Altgeld and myself, which
never had any foundation in truth
The relations between the governor
and myself have been pleasant all
along and are now. Governor Stone
will not run the campaign from
these headquarters. He will doubt
less be here frequently between now
and election day, as he is MEM
Der of the committee, but 1 expect
to run the campaign here and in
Washington.
"A branch of the Washington lite
rary bureau will be established here.
Our ticket will be elected beyond a
doubt. Mr.. Bryan's New York
speech had a most excellent effect
on the east. 1t started the people
thinking and studying, and as
result we are making great gains
in the east. 1t is all nonsense TO
talk of the silver sentiment dying
out or being on the wane."

FRAN IS SAFE.
ARRIVES AT A FISHING PORT NEAR

Nansen Sends n Few Hearty Words
of Welcome to the Commander of

CHRISTTANA, Norway, Aug. 20
DR.. Nansen's Arctic exploration steam
er Fran has arrived safely at Skjervoe,
fishing port on the bay near the
North cape
Shortly after receiving the news of
the arrival Of the Fran at Skjervoe,
and her intention to sail from that
place at once for Tromsoe, DR.. Nansen
started for the latter place to meet her
Before leaving Hammerfest, hansen
wired Captain Sverdrup, the com
mander of the Fran, as follows
"a thousand welcomes to you all.
Hurrah for the Franz
A dispatch from Skjervoe to the At
tenposten says that on August II the
Fran called at Danes island, where a
visit was made to VI. Andre, the Swed-
ish explorer, whose intention it is to
find the north pole by means of a bal
loon. NJ. Andre has not made his as
cension. The Fran sailed from Skier
voc for Tromsoe today. All on board
were well.
The Fran, with Dr.. Nansen on board,
sailed from Chrlstiana June "a, 1898.
DR.. Nansen's plan was to make for
the new Siberian islands, and thence
sail directly north, until the Fran
should be imbedded in the ice and then
drift along with it, following the west
coast of any land that might be met.
Nansen left the Fran in March, 1895,
in latitude "a, longitude 1927, to explore
north of the Franz Josef route, and her
arrival at Skjervoe is strictly in ac-
cordance with his prediction that she
would eventually arrive at Spitzeber-
gen or some other point in the open sea.
Captain Sverdrup, upon arrival at
Skjervoe, telegraphed to the govern
ment that the Fran had arrived, after
a successful voyage. The highest 1ati-
tude reached was IS degrees, 81 min

for that Office by committee of bolt
ers from the recent Waterville Demo-
cratic silver state convention.
The resolutions adopted endorse the
action of the provisional national COM

denounce the 'Populistic assemblage
known as the Chicago convention" and
everything emanating therefrom; ratify
and endorse the financial plank adopt
ed at the Maine Democratic convention
at Portland, June II, and reaffirms a.
belief in the necessity of maintaining
the existing gold standard of value in
the national currency; denounce pro-

clude as follows: I'VE commend the

silver and other metals within the rea-
sonable limit presented by convenience

m2nded, and it is believed to be the
duty of the government to protect the
citizen and his property from lawless-

The recent convention at Chicago and
its platform and candidates are dis
claimed as undemocratic.

vention condemned for its refusal to
take similar action.

Dominion of Canada met at 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
His excellency, the governor general,
proceeded TO the senate chamber, and
taking his seat upon the throne. the
members of the house of commons be-

sion with the following speech:
Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate
and Gentlemen of the House of Com

ion for the public service has compelled
me 70 summon you together at this
somewhat inconvenient season. It is
impossible to lay before you, at this
session, the public accounts for the
past year, or indeed. any Of the reports
usually submitted to parliament. In
der the circumstances, and IN view or
the fact that you will be required to
assemble early in the ensuing year, it
does not appear expedient to invite
your attention to any measures beyond
the passage Of the supplies.

made a subject of careful inquiry dur
ing the recess, with the view to pre-
paration of such measure as may,
without doing injustice to any interest.

people.
Immediate steps will be taken to en-
force a settlement of the Manitoba
school question, and I have every con-
fidence that when parliament again
assemblies this important controversy
will have been adjusted satisfactorily.

after listening to the speech from the

THROWS DOWN
The GAUNTLET
If Mckinley Desires to Discuss
the Issue, Bryan Will Accom-
modate Him---WiIl Debate
With No One Else.

UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y, Aug.
20.-Wiiliam Jennings Bryan threw
down the gauntlet today to Major
Mckinley. 1t was a diguified chal-
lenge, for in it he refuses to discuss
the issues of the campaign with any
person except the one who stands
his equal in office-seeking ambi-
ton.
He was asked if he intended to
answer Mr.. Cochran, and said, in
answer, that he was receiving many
invitations from prominent men to
debate the silver question. In or
der to avoid further Invitations of
this nature, he said he would net
consider any proposition to debate
any question with anybody during
the campaign, unless a. debate
should be arranged between Nc
Kinley and himself, and he added,
tsaat, so far as he knew, no plan
for such debate was under con-
sideration by either of the national
committees.
Ex-State Senator Norton Chase
and Internal Revenue Collector
Louis w. Pratt were here this af-
ternoon to make arrangements for
the Albany speech of Tuesday night
next.
Mr.. Bryan gave out another isin-
eraI-y this morning. 1t contained a
programme of his movements from
Erie to Lincoln and was dictated in
this way by the candidate:
Leave Erie for Buffalo on Thurs
day, Aug. 1, where L will speak in
the evening; from Buffalo go to
Medina, where 1 will speak Friday
afternoon; thence to Niagara Falls,
where L will spend the night. Leave
Niagara Falls on Saturday morn
ing, through Buffalo for Hornells-
vile, where l will speak in the af-
ternoon; thence to Jamestown in
the evening, and going to ChauGau-
qua for Sunday. On Monday morn
ing l will leave Chautauqua for
Cleveland, speaking there in the
evening of Monday the 31st. From
there to Columbus, O., where l will
speak on the evening of Sept. l.
Thence to Toledo, O., where L will
speak on the evening of the I'd;
thence to South Bend, where l will
speak on the evening of the 3rd.
The 4th will be spent at Chicago at
Democratic national headquarters
and go to Nebraska. over the Bur-
lingfon route, arriving in Lincoln
on the 9Th. I will not stop at any
point between Chicago and Lin
coln.''
Hon. Elliott Danforth, who pre-
sided at the Madison Square Car
den meeting, came over to Upper
Red Hook last night ON his way to
Albany and had a talk with the
nominee. Mr.. Bryan says the visit
had no political significance This
morning a son of James w. Hinck-
ley, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, who was one of che
gold leaders at Chicago, called on
Mr.. Bryan and extended an invita-
ton ON behalf of his father, to visit
Winnisook Lodge on sledge Noun
tain in the Catsl1ilis. Winnisook
Lodge is the summer home of
number of Democratic state pohti-
clans, and Mr.. Bryan promised to
spend a night there this week. An
other invitation came from c.. L.
Rickerson. He wanted Mr. Bryan
to visit Santa Cruz Lodge, in the
Catskills, but the nominee was
obliged to decline Mr.. Bryan will
