WILL THEY
INDORSE?
DIR. Mott of the Silver Forces,
Is Nom COmmittal.
Says, However, Many PrOmi-
nent Silver Men Like Bryan.
DIVIDE THE VOTES.
A Kentuckian Thinks Division
of Electoral College Likely.
Believes That the POpulists May
Nominate Teller.

st. Louis, July 14.-Dr. J. J. Mott, Sec
retary of the Bimetallic League of
America, returned here from Chicago
today and secured rooms at the Lin
dell hotel during the coming conven-
ton for Senator Stewart of Nevada,
Congressman Newlands, William P. St.
John of New York and others. He
was asked if the bimetaIlic national
convention would indorse Bryan. He
said: LAS one of the officers of the BIZ
metallic league, don't think it would
be altogether proper for me to under
take to forecast what it viii do. I
know, however, that Mr.. Bryan is a
great favOrite with many men proni-
nent in the league
L. K. Taylor of Paducah, KY, mem
ber of the Populist national commit
tee and editor OF the Paducah Herald,
was here to engage quarters for the
Kentucky delegation and 300 visitors
to the national convention. When
questioned as to Kentucky PopuIists'
choice for president he said: Z can't
say further than that they did want
Teller and hoped that the Chicago con-
vention would nominate him, so they
could have indorsed him"
''Win the Populists indorse Bryan
when they meet here next week?' he
was asked.
.'They may, but I doubt it, because
we have to maintain our party organ
ization. We may nominate Teller and
agree to divide our electoral tickets on
the basis that the strongest man win
after the general result is known. This
is feasible and, after all, it looks as if
it would be but the Endorsement of
Bryan, as he would most likely be the
hanHfiCiaT~y

REASSURE M'KINLEY.
A Nebraska Republican Club Assures

Canton, o., July 14.-NIajor Mckinley

sage from one of the strongest Republi-

similar greetings from prominent men
in all sections of the state:
Lincoln, Neb., July 13, 1896.
I am instructed to send you the fol-
lowing message:-The Young Mems
Republican club stronger in member
ship and influence than ever before
during it's nine years of existence, in
meeting assembled again send greet
ing to William Mckinley of Ohio, and
assure him that in the coming contest
the fact that our fellow townsman,
William J. Bryan is the Democratic
nominee, win only make our organiza-
tion more enthusiastic and determined
than ever. This county will cast an i'm
mense majority for Mckinley. We have
been in battle array in this state
against Populism until fighting va
garies such as the Chicago platform
have become an accustomed thing. Sit
uated as we are in this disputed ter
ritOry, we welcome the conflict and are
firm in our conviction that victory will
not come to Mr.. Bryan in either this
nation, state or county. [Signedl

MORE EBONDSSURE.
Another Issue Is Likely to Be
Made Soon.
Providing Withdrawals of Gold
From Treasury Continue.
ARE BOARDING GOLD.
Many People Are Withdrawing
1t to Put Away.
Over a Million Has Been With
drawn to Hoard.

Chicago, July IA special to the
Herald from Washington. D. c..
says: 1t is useless to conceal the fact
that should the Withdrawals of gold
continue at the present rate, another
bond issue will be necessary to sus-
tain the credit of the government.
While the administration has not ex-
pected to be able to pull through until
March without another sale of bonds
it did hope to defer the issue until late
in the fall, or if possible to the first of
next year. The Withdrawals Monday
were for s675,3OO, of which $375,OOO is
for immediate transportation.
The balance viii probably be hoard
ed. The disposition to hoard gold has
been notably apparent for several days.
On Saturday nearly $125 900 was with
drawn for this purpose, and on the
day before the Withdrawals We're
nearly $1,O0O,OOO, a large part Of which
was to be kept in this country.
The gold reserve yesterday was $685.

On the National Electoral Tick
ct In This Campaign
WHAT Are THE PLANS
For the Division of the State
Offices
PETER Says an Arrangement
According to Vote Cast
Might Be Looked On as Fair
Enough.

Considerable speculation is going on
In regard to what kind of a fusion or
'amalgamation'' is likely to be made
between the Populists and Democrats
on the state ticket, since there are pros
poets of fusion on the national ticket.
That fusion will occur was freely
admitted by leading men in both par
ties prior to the Chicago convention
and now since Bryan's nomination the
same leaders still talk in favor of com
bination but are exceedingly foxy as
to terms and are evidently fencing for
position.
The Populist central committee set
their state convention for a late date
and recommended at the same time
that the primaries be held on August
!. only a few days before the cOnven-
ton. This was evidently done with the
idea that just such situation as has
come to pass might present itself; and
with a hope that in case the national
convention at St. Louis should endorse
or nominate a candidate that would be
acceptabIe to the silver element every
where that the silver men in Kansas,
both Democrats and Republicans
would then turn out to the Populist
primaries and make such a showing
able to name the entire ticket.
But since the Chicago convention and
the return of the Kansas delegation
many stories are being circulated as
to the Democrats being desirous of hav-
ing some representation on the fusion
ticket.
Atwood is talked of for congress in
the First district and it is whispered
that Martin viii be d candidate for the
senate against PETER, and David
Overmyer is spoken of for several Off
ces. Whether any credit can be given
to any of these rumors or not is a mat
ter Of some doubt. One thing is GER
tain, the leading POpuhsts are giving
the matter some thought.
Senator PETER said to a Journal re-
porter: Il do not know whether any ar
rangement has been made between the
leaders of the parties or not. 1 am not
in a position where would be likely
to know. Others would probably know
more than do, but in case such move
were to be made and union of forces
made think an agreement as to Off
ces based on the vote cast by the re-
spective parties would be fair
Bob" Semple. secretary of the Popu-
list state central committee said:
Much depends on what our party
does at St. Louis. Nothing has been
done in regard to the matter as yet so
far as know If the POpulist cOnven-
tion should nominate or endorse Bryan
We viii be in a position to ask a great
deal at the hands of the Democrats in
this state. The sentiment in our party
in this state, so far as I can learn is
in favor Of Bryan and think we shall
be able to all agree on electors for
Bryan regardless of the action of the
St Louis convention.
''As far as congressman in the First
district is concerned our party sup
ported Democrat there once before
and we might do it again, however, I
don't think anything can be determined
till later, when we see the action of our
convention at St Louis

The financial question has been settled
over and over again but as soon as a
new enthusiast approaches it is re-
opened.
This morning a drummer wearing

You are all crazy, replied the drum
mer as he rushed out of the crowd fol-
lowed by the applause of the crowd
which a policeman who came up just
then dispersed with threats of arrest.
Similar experiences are occurring
every few minutes.

HERR MOST FOR GOLD.
Not to be Olassed With Tillman, Alt
geld Silver stCranks."

New York, July 14.-The gold men
who have been calling the free silver
men anarchists have gained an en-
couraging ally in Herr Most. He is
the most rabid of the real anarchists of
the east and said today:
Here I am represented by the Sun
as a follower and supporter of Altgeld,
Tillman and all other silver cranks,
when I am SIS all anarchists know, a
better gold standard advocate than
even the most rabid Wall street bank
er. am, moreover, in favor of a
scarcer material than gold as the unit
of value. I would have the karat of
diamonds, if diamonds could be util-
lied, as the medium of exchange. AS
for silver money, why silver is so cheap
and plentiful that shoe nails might as
well be put in circulation as currency.
Gold is the only correct standard of
value

SHOT AT M. FAURE.
An Attempt Made to Assassinate the
President of France.

Paris. July 14-An attempt was made
to assassinate President Faure today.
The president had gone to Long
Champs to review the troops. He had
no sooner entered the field when a
man in the crowd stepped forward and
fired a. revolver at him. The shot did
not take effect The WouId-be assaSs-
in was at once arrested. He declared
that he had only fired a blank cart
ridge and that he had no intention of
killing the president.
When it became known in the crowd
at Long Champs that the president had
not been hurt by the pistol shot, the
greatest enthusiasm was manifested.
Cheer after cheer was sent up and
the people could scarcely be restrained
by the guards from crowding about
the place where the president and his
suite were standing.

Not Alarmed at the Platform and
Suited With the Candidate.

Rankin Mason, deputy United States
district attorney, has returned home
from the Chicago convention and seems
to be well satisfied with the result To
a Journal reporter he said:
THE nomination is a good one Of
course we cannot expect it to be re-
celved as enthusiastically back east a s

that the eastern Democrats will sup
port the ticket however: if they do not
and there is a third ticket put in the
field, there win be a good chance of
carrying New York for Bryan. The
convention was one Of the I7oe+ 7,-l,,1
derful ever held in this country. The
enthusiasm displayed was remarka BILE.

people with favor and they viii sweep

is bound to come to the front, the peo-
pie want it settled and they now have

squarely- This tariff question as it is
understood ~ both of the parties will
not cut mucn figure in this campaign
When the Republicans talk about tar
If for protection and the Democrats

Some OF the people have spoken of
Bryan as being too young to fill the no

Carlisle had enough faith in Bryan to
appoint him a member of the ways and

the Iurther fact that he served on that
committee with honor to himself and

The Court Decides That it is in the

The Rowley Brothers receivership
matter will be brought to a close with

The report of the receiver, F. A. Snow

the property divided the receivership

Judge Hazen said that he believed
the receiver had been exactly fair to
all parties coneerned- and that his judg-

lowed S125 per month for his services.
Emmett Rowley by his attorneys
contested several of the claims of the
receiver even to the allowance of a bill
for the State Journal. 1t was said a
newspaper was not essentially one of
the expenses of running a drug store.

HUBBARD's RECEIVERsHIP
Judge Hazen Severely Denounces His
Appointee in Snow-HamiIton Case.

Appointee in Snow-Hamilton Case.
The Snow Hamilton controversy was
before the district court again this
morning.
Mr. Hubbard, the receiver, whose ac-
counts appear to be under a cloud in
the matter, is still very sick and his ex-
plantations in regard to certain items
in the referees report of the condition of
his accounts, have not been obtained.
Application had been made for a con-
tinuance of time for the referees re-
port. This was resisted by the attor-
neyS for both the plaintiff and defend
ant and the case was heard today.
1t appears that 'thereare charges
against Mr.. Hubbard of money and
stock unaccOunted for in the aggregate
of about $4,000. This he says, he can
explain, if allowed to do so. He has
started on an explanation once or
twice, but each time has reIapsed into
serious illness that made procedure
There is in the bank to the credit of
the receiver SIS, 200. It is the desire OF
the Snow people that this money shall
be divided at once, but the Hamilton
people object until the receivership
matter is settled.
The court said he was inclined to or
der the division of the $19,20o in the
bank but that he wanted to hear more
The great trouble with this case,'
said Judge Hazen, lis that the receiver
in the matter is sick and unable to ap-
pear in court to explain what he says
he can explain. 1t is a pure business
matter and if the receiver can make
any explanation he should be allowed
to do it as soon as he is in a mental
and physical condition to do so. I'm
fortunately we have in this case re-
ceiver who is a defaulter. That is con
ceded, I believe. The only question in
it is the amount of the defalcation.
Hubbard's bondsmen must be consid-
cred in the matter. OF course Hubbard
is not entitled to any consideration at
all at the hands of either this court or
the public. He has not only betrayed
this court but also the men whose bus
mess he was appointed to take care Of
II he were well I could deal with him.
He is not worthy of consideration but
it would not be fair to his bondsmen if
he We're not allowed to come before
this court and explain such of the de-
falcation as he says he can. The
bondSmen are entitled to it,
Mr. Vance for the Hamilton people
gave notice of an argument for rehear-
ing of the controversy and Judge Ha-
zen set it for tomorrow morning.

mons, president of the Fourth National
bank, a life long Democrat, has come
out in opposition to the Chicago plat
form and ticket. He said: Il have no
hesitation in saying that I intend to
vote for Mckinley and I believe it to
be the duty of every sound money
Democrat to do the same in order to
concentrate the vote of honest men in
both parties against the revolutionary
platform and ticket adopted at Chicago
I have been a Democrat all my life
and never cast a Republican ballot be-
fore, but place my country above my
party, patriotism and partisanship, and
although grieved beyond measure by
the necessity of parting from the
political organization to which I
have always belonged, I cannot now

claimed by the Chicago convention
