The native stock holds it's own on the farms, too, the per cent. of agriculturalists who are native born being 70.49. The foreign born are found more largely in domestic and personal service, and in manufacturing and mining. representing nearly one-half in each, being 46sS per cent in the first named, and 45.1S per cent. in the other.

The Benedict Arnold mansion in Fair mount Park, Philadelphia, is to be re- stored to its original condition by the Fairmount Park Art association. It was built in 1761 by John McPherson, and with the large estate surrounding 1t was sold to Benedict Arnold for ESQ., 900. The property was forfeited in 1776 on account of Arnold's treason and sold to Colonel Richard Hamilton in 1781. It became the property of the city of Philadelphia in 1868, and since 1878 has ben used as a restaurant and dwelling. So few alterations have been made in 1t that it stands to-day practically as 1t was when built. It is regarded as one of the finest specimens of Colonial architecture in the country.

DEPENDS UPON CONDITIONS.
Bryan Doesn't Know Whether He VIII
Accept or Not.

Lincoln, Neb., July 25.-Mr. Bryan
said concerning the action at st. Louis:
when the Populists decided to NOM
mate Vice-President first, Senator
Jones, chairman of the National Dem
ocratic committee wired me as fol-
lows:
'Populists nominate Vice-President
first; il not Sewall, what shall / do?
Answer quick. favor your declining
in that case
II wired Immediately as follows:
Hon. Jas. X. Jones, ST. Louis: I
entirely agree with you. Withdraw
my name if Sewall is not nominated
These dispatches were published in
this mornings papers and the conven-
tion understood my position. In spite
of this they have seen fit to nomin-
ate me. Whether I shall accept the
nomination or not will depend entirely
upon what conditions are attached to
it.
''My first desire is to aid in securing
the immediate restoration by the Uni
ted States of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the pre-
sent legal ratio of 16 to 1 independent
ly of other nations. The Republican
platform declares that the bi-metallic
system should be restored but asserts
that we, as people, are helpless to
secure bi-metallism for ourselves until
foreign nations come to our assistance.
We cannot afford to surrender our
right to legislate for our people
upon every question and so long as
that right is disputed no other ques.
tion can approach it in Importance.
Il appreciate the desire manifes-
ted at st. Louis to consolidate all free
silver forces and regret that they did
not nominate Mr.. Sewall also. He
stands squarely upon the Chicago
platform and has defended our cause
against greater opposition than we
have had to meet in the West and
South. The Populist platform is, on
many questions, substantially identi-
cal with the Chicago platform; it goes
beyond the Chicago platform, however
and endorses some politics which / do
not approve of. All that I can say now
is that my action will depend entirely
upon the conditions attached to the
nomination. / shall do nothing which
will endanger the success of bi-metal-
lism nor shall l do anything unfair
to Mr.. Sewall."
Assuming that the acceptance of
Une nomination by you would be un-
fair to Mr.. Sewall," )" he was asked, chow
could conditions shape themselves so
as to permit you to accept?'
The question was adroitly evaded
by the jocular remark that if all
things now perpleXing were made
plain it would be an infringement up-
on the field of journalistic conjecture.
concerning the complications that seem
imminent because Of the seeming
necessity of putting up two sets of
Bryan said that this was one of the
candidate of the PopuIist party. Mr..
Bryan replied that this was one of the
difficulties which time must be trusted
to remove.
Mr.. Bryan was seemingly as cheer
ful as he was when he received inform
alton of his first nomination at Chi
cago.

the nomination, saying, Disguise it
as we may, one of the great parties
have made a declaration along the
line of our teachings, nominated a man
we should have delighted to honor, and
nut a test as of divine appointment TO
our wisdom and our patriotism. May
we have the principle and love of
country to stop the division among
silver forces" Like Capt. Kitchin, his
voice penetrated the farthest recesses
of the hall and he was loudly APP
plauded.
North Carolina gave 70 votes to Bryan
and 25 for a man named Norton.
Speaking of the nomination Senator
Butler said: at is the best possible
thing that could have been done. The
extreme men in the West wanted to
endorse the whole Democratic ticket
and the extreme men in the South
wanted to put up a straight ticket.
Either would have split the Peoples
party and played into the hands of the
gold men. This action win solidify
the party against the gold standard
and make McKinley's defeat almost
certain"
Senator Butler says in signed state
ment: There is but one thing stands
tory. The Peoples party has met the
Democratic party more than half way.
Now, if Mr.. Sewall will be patriotic
and withdraw from the Democratic
ticket as candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent he will remove the only obstacle
to a complete unifcation of all the
voters who oppose the single gold
standard and victory will be assured

sible to hold our organization and peo,

Bryan Nominated in Spite of Telegram
of Withdrawal.

St. Louis, July 25.-Wm. Jennings
Bryan, who was nominated by the
Democratic National convention fort
night ago, was to-day made the stand
ard-bearer of the Populist parity by a
vote of i ,042 to 331.
The Democratic candidate was NOM
mated in the face of his own protest,
in the shape of telegram directing the
withdrawal of his name, sent to Sena-
tor Jones, after Sewall his running
mate had been ditched for the Vice
Presidency last night, and Thomas T..
Watson. of Georgia, had been named.
1t was also made in the teeth Of an OPP
position so bitter that after the con-
vention some of the radicals held a

The last session of the convention,
which lasted from $3.50 this morning
until nearly O'Clock this afternoon,
was marked by scenes of turbulence
and noisy excitement which several
times bordered on actual riot, and al
most precipitated personal collisions.
The PopuIist Bryan managers decid-
ed at the outset to-day TO disregard Mr..
Bryan's telegrams of Last night to NOM
mate him, and straig'hten out the tan

rush THE nomination through before
any other candidates could be put in

of brilliant flying wedge, some times

was too much for them, and their line
was broken General Weaver, of Iowa,
the Populist candidate in 1892, placed
Bryan in nomination, and Gen. Field,
of Virginia, who was his running mate,
after q brief speech, moved to make the
nomination unanimous. Chairman Al
len held that the motion was in order,
and that until that motion was decided
the call of States for nominations,
which was the order of THE convention,
could not proceed. The ruling almost
precipitated a riot. Some cheered.

concluded to abandon this so regarded

But in doing so it opened the flood
gates and for six hours the convention
was deluged with oratory. The Texas
delegation sent a message to Bryan al
