BRYAN'S SILVER NOMINATION
The Notification Likely TO Take
Place In Baltimore.

st. Louis July 25.-Mr. Goot OF Ohio,
has been chosen chairman OF the COM
mittee appointed to notify Mr.. Bryan
OF his nomination by the national silver
party. He Will communicate with Mr..
Bryan and ascertain his wishes re-
garding the notification and will COM
municate with the members OF the COM
mittee as soon as the desired informa-
ton Is obtained. The idea at present Is
TO have the notification take place In
Baltimore, soon after Mr.. Bryan leaves
New York.
A great many members OF the conven-
ton have left for their homes but those
who are still here. indorse the Baltimore
movement and think II good policy to
make the notification In the east.

No Advisory Committee.

Cleveland, O., July 25.-Chairman
Mark Hanna and Major Mckinley held
a conference at Hanna's home yester.
day. and 1t was decided to let the exec.
utive committee of the republican ma
tional committee run the campaign to
suit themselves without the aid OF. an
advisory committee. Thus Hanna es.
tablishes a precedent.
The New York tangle among the
Platt-Bliss-Miller factions and the
Pennsylvania mixup among the Quay.
Marten-Magee factions Is the real cause
of the decision. 1t was necessary to
have representatives from these states
on the advisory committee and a. 20
one could be appointed without incur
ring the displsasure OF at least two lea
ders In each state, 1t was thought best
to do away with the committee entire.

P0PUllST PLATFORM.
The Presentation of the Case by the
Peoples Party.

The following Is the platform adopted
by the populist conventions:
The populist party, assembled in ma
tional convention, reafirms it's allegi-
ance to the principles declared by the
founders Of the republic and also to the
fundamental principles Of just govern
ment as ~enunciated in the platform OF
the party in 1892. We recognize that
through the action of the present and
preceding administrations the country
has reached a crisis in its national life,
as predicted in our platform o years
age and at present prompt n patriotic
action is the supreme duty Of the hour.
We realize that while we have political
independence our financial and indus
trial independence is yet to be attained
by restoring 10 h peoples government
the constitutional control and exercise
Of the functions necessary to that end,
which functions have been basely sur
rendered by our public servants TO cor
porate monopolies. The influence Of Eu-
ropean money changers has been more
potent in shaping legislation than the
voice of the American people. Execu-
tive power n patronage nave been
used 10 corrupt u legislatures and de-
feat the will of the people, and plu-
tocracy has thereby been enthroned
upon the ruins Of democracy. To restore
the government of the fathers and for
the welfare n prosperity of this and
future generations we demand the re-
establishment of an economic and finan-
cial system which shall make us mas
tiers Of our w affairs and Independent
of European control by the adoption of
the following declaration OF principles:

A wise Justice Of Lyons. Wayne coun-
ty, N. Y, has decided that a railway In
h a state is bound to carry fresh air
free, as well as bicycles. A woman
travelling on a train complained that the
air in the car was bad. The conductor
tried to open h window in the usual
way, but was unable to do SO, and re-
fused to get a crowbar to pry it open,
whereupon the suffering woman
smashed the glass with her ~parasol.
The conductor then had her taken into
custody on q charge of insanity. A doc
tor examined her and pronounced her
rational. Her defense was that she had
paid for her transportation n was en-
titled TO fresh air with it. The justice
thought so too, and discharged her. 1t
Is possible that this precedent may
cause all the railway companies consid-
erable trouble. If it be good law hat
when car windows are not in working
order the passengers may smash the
glass, better care Will be taken to see
that all the windows in the cars can be
readily moved VI and down.
