OBJECT TO ST. JOHN.
Some New York Democrats Protest
Against His Appointment.

New York. Aug. I'm view of all the
facts, the wisdom of Chairman Jones'
selection OF a treasurer of the national
committee may be questioned. Mr.
William P. St John, who was appoint
ed treasurer on the spur of the moment
at Chicago, is not acceptable to the
Democrats of the Empire state. In the
election of 1894 Mr.. St. John voted for
Morton for governor and Strong for
mayor In a letter to DR.. Parkhurst at
the time he said:
Although born q Democrat and vot-
ing in every instance for the principles
of Jefferson and Jackson, whenever
those principles chiefly are at stake I
shall vote for Morton for governor of
New YOrk as the essential adjunct to
my vote for an anti-Tammany victory
in this city, al any possible hazard of
party asceGdency in the United States -
Tammany leaders say they cannot
cooperate with a man who has taken
such a position as this. and while they
do not like to be quoted, the response
BILE men in the organiza ton think Mr.
St. John ought to be pulled down.

LOOKING FOR FARMS.
Eastern Men Travelling Through Mis-

Pleased.

Superior, Neb., Aug. A party of rs
eastern men who are on their way to
look over crops in Nebraska and north
ern Kansas reached here last evening
on a special train over the Burlington
road. Many of them are prominent
farmers of Illinois and Indiana who al
ready have or are contemplating the
purchase of land in this part of the
country, and are assuring themselves
of the favorable conditions that exist
here for farming.
All the members of the party are per-
fectly delighted with the appearance of
the country between the Missouri river
and this point

held close about that figure. Enormous
quantities of this stock were also pour
ed upon the market but they were tax
en- with the same steadiness Whlcn
marked the action of Diamond Match.
The accommodations. however, represent
ed a great sum in time ana the opera
lions in the block will add largely to
the total of the amount involved.
1t is not at the present time possible
to make any estimate of what the ng-
ure is. The Moores have unquestiona-
1by purchased an enormous line of New
York Biscuit and Diamond Match. The
capital stock of the Diamond Match
company is 81, coo 600 and of New York
Biscuit $4,000. 600. 1t is said that the
Moores have purchased half the capital
of the Diamond Match company and
their purchases of New York Biscuit
stock perhaps bears as large a proper
ton to the total.

A CHANCE FOR AMERICANS.
They Gould Find Good Markets in
Germany if They Would Only Try.


Washington, Aug. 4.-Mr. Henry G.
Carpenter, commercial agent of the de-
partment of state, in report on the
American manufacturer and the Ger
man market says that If the American
manufacturer or merchant would make
the same effort to introduce his goods
into Germany as the German does to
put his goods upon our market, they
would find a larger sale for their pro-
duce.
In three years not a single represen-
tative of the American industry has
called at his Office asking for informa-
ton tending to introduce his goods.
Correspondents with American manu-
facturers has led to nothing Cata-
logues circulars and all the other ad-
Vertising matter sent to Germany he
says, is 3 clear waste of money. Since
the German will not buy without first
seeing the goods themselves, German
manufacturers of glassware travel from
one end of America to the other ad-
vertising their goods and Mr. Carpen-
ter fails to see why the American pro-
ducerS should not also put forth some
individual effort.
The Germans look with favor upon
our workmanship and pattern after it.
The word American" upon an article
is intended to convey the idea of su-
perfOrity. A comparison of prices is in
favor of the Americans Mr. Carpen-
ter notes the cost of several articles
among them writing desks of inferior
wood which cost twice the amount ask
ed for rolling top oak desk in this
country. The same criticism is made
as to several sets of furniture and is
asked why there should not be q mar
ket for good furniture, likewise for
modern agricultural and pile driving
tools

WHAT GORMAN SAYS.
That he VIII Help Jones but Won't
Take a Craftsmanship.

washington, Aug 4.-Senator German
Joined Chairman Jones at the capitol
shortly after noon yesterday. where
they were together in the committee
room for three hours. At the close of
an extended talk, Mr.. Jones said there
was nothing to be made public Mr..
German was asked as to the current
report that he would be on the execu-
tive committee and possibly it's chair
man. He authorized the statement
that he would not take the chairman
ship under any circumstances
1t is the same now as in 1888 and
1922 he said, when I gave every aid
in my power to Mr.. Whitney and Mr..
Harrity but would not take a chair
manship. In the present campaign I
will aid Senator Jones in every way
possible, but under no circumstances
would I assume the duties of chairman
of the executive committee
When asked as to whether he would
be a memb Der of the committee, Mr..
German replied that the chairman was
practically the committee.

BAIT FOR TOM WATSON.
A Rumor That He VIII Take the Sen

Savannah, Aug. 4.-The rumor reach
es this city from Atlanta that negotia-
lions for buying off Tom Watson, the
PopuIist candidate for vice president
are on foot. The Georgia senatorship,
to succeed Gordon, is the price to be
paid him, it is said An editorial in
this mornings News says: 1T would
not be at all surprising to see Mr. Wat
son a Democratic senator, while those
who have assisted in presenting his
present credentials are still waiting
their turn
Ex-Speaker Crisp now has a walk
over for the place, and it depends upon
him to say if the deal with Watson
shall be made. If he consents, it will
be with the assurance that he will go
into Bryan's cabinet in the event of
POpocrat success. Whether Crisp will
give up a. certainty for an uncertainty

MAY HAVE TO FIGHT US.
An English Paper Considers Such a
Thing Not Improbable.

London, Aug. 4-The Post publishes
a long article on England's relations
with Germany in the course of which
it says: The maintenance of British
rights in America, Africa and Asia
may at any time involve the necessity
of fighting America France and Rus
STA. It behooves US to therefore con-
slider our relations with other powers.
1t is fact that in January the ques-
ton of how best to fight the British
navy was seriously considered at Ber-
lin, and the plan of Z, campaign against
England was mapped out by a strate-
gist most competent to deal with the
problem.
This fact has never been published
before and we are bound to admit that
the present tone of the inspired Ger
man press ought to put our statesmen
on their guard"

The Republican Stronghold of Ashta-
bula Going for Bryan.
Cleveland, July 4.-NEajor Dick, one
Of Hanna's lieutenants has been try
Ing to frown upon the report that free
silver clubs are being organized in Ash
tabu1a county, but the following COM
munication from the city clerk of Ash
tabula win enectually silence him:
Office of the City Clerk,
A B. Phillips, Clerk.
Ashtabula, O., July %, 1886.
The facts are that not only is there
a free silver club in Ashtabula county,
but it is composed in a great measure
of Republicans of men who never have
voted any ticket but the Republican
ticket It has as its president a Re
publican. An ex-representat1ve from
this county is one of its most influential
members. 1t has already held three
meetings and has on its rolls over 200
free silver Republicans OF Ashtabula
county.
This meeting was not made up of
Democrats and Populists, but a large
number a majority, in fact, were Re
publicans, and some of the most prom
inent and influential ones in the coun-
ty.
A report from one ward in this city
showed only three gold men in it, and
this ward has nearly 100 Swedish vot-
ers. One township sent a list of 25 free
silver Republicans, and there are less
than $50 votes in the town. Another
town gave a list of eleven free silver
Republicans in one school district, an
other town Is Republicans who have
declared for Bryan and free silver.
From every town in the county comes
the same news, accessions to the ranks
of free silver.
At the same meeting requests were
received from Republicans in various
towns asking that the committee send
them speakers and organizers to form
free silver clubs and arrangements have
been already made to organize such
clubs in several towns, and this, TOO, at
the urgent request of Republican voters
mind you.
r. w. Calvin, a leading attorney of
this city and a lifelong Republican, has
offered his services to the committee as
a speaker for the cause of the people
and against the present financial sys-
tenn and will assist in organizing free
silver clubs in this county.
