"Oh, wouldn't print that, !" said Mr..

tfat the county has nearly 100000 of

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July %, 1886. The Ma
tional Silver Party which holds its con-
vention here today, may not be able to
boast of a controlling influence in the
great triangular contest which is to
decide the policy of the country for the
four years beginning on the fourth of
March next but 1t will be able to declare
truthfully that not one of the other three
parties has had a handsomer or more con-
venient convention hall than itself
The building in which the Republicans
met three weeks ago, and where the Popu-
lists meet today, is of much larger pro-
portions, and as to the Chicago Coliseum
where the Democrats met two weeks since,
it would be able to make room for this
pretty theatre in small corner of its
huge expanse. But the music hall.
which the business men of ST. Louis as
signed to the use of the silverites. is, in
proportion to the number of delegates,
and of spectators, likely to be attracted
to it today, the finest and handsonest of
the three. This theatre is part of the
large and elegant structure known as the
Exposition building.
1t is very pretty place of entertain
ment, capable Of seating some fve or SIX
thousand people, and It is decorated for
the occasion with a good deal of taste.
The stage is hung artiStically with the
National colors, in the midst Of which

ance until after the notification
Then he win be in the hands of the

in the near future. Mr. Bryan's Con-
gressional service made him well known
to Washington people and he was very
much pleased with the manner in which
the District delegates voted for him at
Chicago. Mr.. Bryan construed this sup
port to mean approval OF his course in
Congress by those who had the best
opportunity to watch his legislative
career closely An invitation to address
ceived by him yesterday from one of the
delegates to the Chicago convention and
he is considering the advisibility of ac-
cepting it,
The chances are that ne will stop over
in Washington on his way West after
his notification and his visit to the home
of Mr. Sewall In Maine. AS to accepting
other invitations Mr.. Bryan has made no
plans 1t is possible that he win be pro-
vided with a special train by the National
Committee and make that his home for

he should deliver his speeches in the
principal centers of the population, but
he is not averse to giving the people in
the smaller towns q chance to see and
hear him from the rear end of car

Last nights reception to the Demo-
cratic nominee was encouraging. His
speech was a disappointment to the many
who hoped to hear him discuss the issues
of the campaign bur as the reception was
non-partisaa and was arranged by Re-
publicans as well as Democrats he did
not refer to the questions involved and
gave the immense assemblage that greet

praise on Major Mckinley in his persona.

sgETsoN WILL CASE CLOSED.
Testimony In and Counsel TO Submit
Esr1efs-17esp the witnesses Signed.

E BOSTON. July %, 1S96.-Wnen Judge
Grant took his place on ithe bench in the
Suffolk Probate Court today to resume
the hearing of the petition which was
flied by Charles H. Pattee fer the allow
ance Of the win of the late John Stet-
son, Jr., all the counsel for the various
interested parties were on hand and DR..
o. G. Cilley was recalled ITO finish his
testimony which was begun yesterday
afternoon. A few question from Lawyer
CASTOR and the Court closed his examina-
tion. and he was excused.
These few questions were put to find
out what the posture of Mr.. Stetson was
to the attest:ng witnesses, when they
affixed Their signatures TO the will in
the sick chamber. DR.. Cilley testified
that he was laying Mr.. Stetson back in
bed after he had put his signature to
the will. when the other two attesting
witnesses, Dr. w. w Noyes and the
cciored coachman, BENJAMIN Crosby,
signed the will at the desk, which stood
about II feet away from the foot of the
bed.
TINS closed the evidence in support Of
the petition to allow the will and con-
ference was held between the court and
counsel. the result of which was that it
was agreed that the case be submitted
without evidence from the contestants,
Adah Richmond and John S1etson, Sr.,
and without argument, but that counsel
submit a brief in support of their con-
tentions upon this evidence to be filed
by Monday.
Judge Grant expressed some doubt on
the evidence as to whether there was a
proper attes tation of the will by the wit
nesses and desired some legal authorities
from counsel for both sides as to their
legal views of the matter upon the evi-
dence.
The signing of the witnesses of the will
on desk scome twelve feet away from
where the testator was lying in bed. so
that he could probably rot see them sign
and his frequent doses into sleep, as the
testimony of DR.. Gilley was in effect,
may be the reason for the question IN the
mind of the. court upon which legal light
is asked to be she'd
No mater what may the result of the
hearing in this court. it may be safely
said that the side which may find itself
aggrieved at the turn things may take
here, will take an appeal to the Supreme
Court where a jury trial may be obtained.
