MUST BE SEWALL.
Chairman Jones of the Demo-
cratic Party
Says That Mr.. Bryan Can Not
Accept
ST. LOUIS NOMINATION
But Implies That He Will Not
Reject It.
ST. LOUIS NOMINATION
No Plan That Turns Down Sew
all to Be Considered.

New York, Aug. ga special to the
World from Washington, says: Sena-
tor Jones of Arkansas. chairman of the
Democratic national committee, has re-
turned to Washington. When asked by
the World correspondent the question:
''Win Mr.. Bryan accept the nomina-
ton offered by the Populists?" he an
swered slowly and deliberately: "How
can he? He was nominated with Mr..
SewaIl on the Democratic platform and
he will do nothing that will reflect upon
him as a gentleman or as a Democratic
candidate.
It see that some of the Populists are
declaring that unless Mr.. Bryan ac-
cepts their nomination by August 5, the
central committee will withdraw his
name and nominate some one else in
his place. Well, let them do So Mr..
Bryan, having been the nominee of the
Democrats and of the Silver party,
common decency would at least sug-
gest the propriety of his accepting
those nominations first. But suppose
the Populists do nominate another
candidate for the presidency, what
would be the situation? Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived a thousand votes in their con-
vention and then this central commit
tee. composed of a few men, comes
along and dominates a new man. 1t
will simply mean the disruption and
Reorganization of the Populist party.
We all know that we are either go
ing to have Bryan and Sewan or Nc
Kinley and Hobart. The best men and
the most intelligent of the PopuIist
party viii vote for Bryan and Sewan."
In conclusion Senator Jones, accord
ing to the World correspondent, COM
plimented the Populists of the north
and west as broad-minded and pat
riotic men, On the other hand he said
the POpUHsts of the south were out for
nothing but spoil Mr.. Jones said he
did not propose to allow Mr.. Watson
to bluff him into withdrawing SewalI
He said he was willing to make fair
and proper arrangements with the Pop~
ulists in the matter Of electoral tickets,
but he did not propose to consent to
any improper arrangements.

SHARKEY TALKS.
Ex-Marine Boxer In Chicago
For a Day
On His Way East to Rest Prior
to Training.
WEIGHS 200 POUNDS.
Never Touches Liquor Nor
CheWs Tobacco.
WEIGHS 200 POUNDS.
Thinks He Has Learned Some
Points on Sparring.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-':Jim COrbett could
not whip me in a thousand years
This remark was made by a young man
in the lobby of the Victoria hotel to a
party of friends yesterday afternoon,
in a quiet, jnassuming tone that carried
conviction with it. The speaker was not
boastful at all, but as he made the re-
mark a smile of supreme confidence
fitted over his strong face. 1t was Tom
Sharkey, the ex-marine, who had prac-
ticaIy lowered the colors of the San
Francisco boxer in a four round bout
at the latter place some time ago They
are now matched for $4,000 a side
Sharkey is on his way east to look
around a Bit as he expresses it. He
explained TO his friends that he has
done SO much training of late that he
feels the need of d little rest, and while
he is taking it will pick up a few dol
lars in the east by giving sparrlng eX-
hibitions. Sharkey and his hacker and
manager, D. J. Lynch, we'll known as a
turfman, came to Chicago yesterday
morning.
In appearance the now famous ath-
lete is more like a strong man than
boxer. He is erect, but his great breadth
of shoulders and tremendous neck Gre
ate the impression of weight lifting
rather than speed and quickneSS with
the fists and feet. He is 5 feet 812
inches in height and admits that he
now weighs exactly 200 pounds in his
street clothes, having 1aItened some
since his battle with COrbett, a twelve
minute fight which made him famous
all over the world. But as Sharkey is
q teetOtaler in every sense of the word,
it would not be a hard matter for him
to get into the best of condition in
short time. He does not drink as much
as a beer or two now and then and his
training in the navy has done away
with all desire for tobacco in any form.
He is not a ready talker, but once start
ed will speak entertainingly about his
career as a fighter.
of course I am entirely confident of
beating Corbett. and know we'll that he
cannot hurt me- he said. L have met
him and know that he is not a hard
hitter. AS for his great cleVerness, I
know that he did not land on me in
Frisco as often as people thought he
would. I landed on him as often as
he did on me, and had known as much
as I do now the story might have been
different. I think I have learned a
great deal about boxing since our fight.
My sparring partner is Danny Need
ham, the St. Paul weIter weight. We
left him at his home on visit. After
he has Joined US here we will continue
on east. We will give a few exhibit
lions, although the trip is more of a
vacation for me than anything eISe.'

MORRISON FOR BRYAN.
Says Free Silver Wouldn't Cause
Panic Unless Wall Street Chose
to Have It.

Chicago. Aug. 3.-Hon. w. R. MOrri-
son, member of the interstate COM
merce commission, in an interview in
the Journal is quoted as saying that he
will vote for Bryan and free silver.
He added: 'I do not favor the adop-
ton of a free silver platform, it is true,
and do not believe that the success of
silver would in any way realize the ex-
pectations of those who are urging it.
But I do not believe that the adoption
of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1
and the election of Bryan would neces-
sarily precipitate a panic. 1t would
if the men who control the money. mar
lzet chose to have a panic, but not other
wise. If these men should in that
event do as they are now doing and do
their best to strengthen the credit of
the government things would run along
without financial jar during the four
years of Bryan's administration. OF
course if a president and congress were
elected who were bent on smashing
things right and left they could IN
doubtedly do it,

JUDGE VANDIvERTs sAYsO.
Kansas Will Give Mckinley 10000
Majority. He SAYS.

Kansas City, Aug. 3.-Judge Sam W.
Vandivert of Kinsley, who was in the
city enroute to Chicago, announces
boldly that the Repu bIicans will carry
Kansas by $4,000, and being a candidate
for the United States senate, he is
firmly of the opinion that the next Kan
sas legislature viii be Republican by a
good working majority.
In Edwards county Mr.. Vandivert
says the Republican vote is stronger
than it has been since 1890, and this is
due largely to the German vote. The
Germans all over the state. according
to his information, viii support the Re
publican ticket.
In his judgment Mckinley will lead
the Republican ticket at the polls, but
the average majority of the state and
national ticket will be 10000

VIEWING THE WEST.
A Party Of Excursionist Business Men
are Pleased With What They See.

are Pleased With What They See.
St. Joseph, Mo-, Aug. "A special
train carrying a party of business men
looking over the country reached St.
Joseph this morning from Chicago, af-
ter a pleasant trip through northern
Missouri They came here direct from
Quincy, Ill, and were greatly delight
ed with the appearance of the crops
along the country through which they
passed.
One member of the party, Judge S.
NJ. Knox of Princeton, Ill, said: I'VE
have seen fine fields of corn as it
seems possible to look upon in any
part of the country, and yet from what
I have heard from Nebraska recently,
of corn there is no holding my admira-
ton well under control. The part of
Missouri that we have come through
Is beautiful Big stretches of land just
rolling enough to suit the farmer who
mas a diversity of crops and mixes
STOCK raising with his other pursuits,
enough timber to add beauty to the
scene and help to catch and hold the
moisture of fine streams of running
water and big fields well covered with
shocks of small grain. We saw plenty
of stock but there is room for much
more particularly as they are. I un-
derstand shipping considerable of it
to market"
The party will resume their Journey
early in the afternoon, proceeding in
the direction of Nebraska.

All Badly Injured

All Badly Injured.
indianapolis, Aug. "a wreck this
morning at $50 o'clock at North IN
dianapolis on the Big Four road caused
a parlor car for horses, containing a.
string belonging to J. E. Bush of Louis
vile, to upset and every horse was so
much injured that it is thought none
will ever race again. The value of the
stable of horses is said to have been
$50, 900.
Four men were hurt as follows:
David Barnum, in charge.
Dennis Horter of Louisville.
George Pagan of Lexington.
Charles Brock of Kentucky.
Brock was the only one seriously in
jured, but he will recover.
The men will be brought to this city

NEBRASKA POPULISTs.
Will be Fight in the Convention but
Fusionists are in Control

Omaha, Neb., Aug 3-The state
nominating convention of the PopuIists
will be held at Hastings Wednesday,
and judging by present indications har-
mony will take day off while the war
ring factions of the party fight out
their differences. Not that the result
is in doubt The fact that the middle
of-the-road Populists are in a hopeless
minority has been again and again
demonstrated. They were beaten in
nearly all the county conventions in
the state. But in no case did they sub
nit without a struggle They fought
every inch of the ground and they do
not hesitate to declare that they will
make a desperate effort at Hastings to
prevent the contamination of the plans
of the leaders of the majority.
The leaders of the middle-of-the-road
element assert that Governor Holcomb
and Senator Allen have entered into q
compact with the Bryan managers by
which they were to deliver the Nebras-
ka vote to Bryan and Sewall, and in re-
turn Bryan'S influence was to be used
to procure a Democratic Endorsement of
the POpulist state ticket in Nebraska.
They refuse to be bound by such an
agreement, and persist in their deter
mination to back up the slate agreed
on by their opponents.
1t is estimated by those who are in a
position to know that the majority will
not raise the question between the two
vice presidential candidates. The cleo
tors will be chosen as Bryan men and
they viii not attempt to instruct them
for Sewan also. Whether the minority
will make a fight for Watson remains
to be seen, but the leaders hope to be
able to avoid a fight on that issue by
ignoring the vice presidential question
altogether. Their plan is to name an
electoral commission composed of two
Democrats, two free silver Republicans
and four POpulists.
