Bryan on a nominees Duty.

Haverhill, July 23.-The Gazette pub
fishes letter written to Daniel B. Kelley,
of this city, by Hon. William j. Bryan
some time previous to his nomination.
The letter was regarding the duty of a
nominee to his party and its platform,
and is as follows:
You may quote me as saying, in regard
to the relation of a president to his party,
the president, like any other public Off
Ger, is public servant, and it Is his duty
to carry out the principles laid down in
the platform upon which he was elected
and taught by the party of which he was
member. The president is not selected
as school teacher to instruct his party,
nor is he chosen because those who
choose him are not able to think for
themselves. He is chosen by those who
think as he does, to carry out, in legisla-
tion and in the executive departments Of
the government, the political principles
and policies for which the party stands.
In the distribution of patronage he is in
duty bound to recognize all elements of
his party, in SO far as he recognizes the
party at all. To discriminate against a
portion Of the party which helped elect
him is as indefensible as it would be to
appoint members of another party to
Offices to which the party is entitled. The
phrase, "a public Office is a public trust" !"
includes it all, because the president is
simply trustee selected for limited
time to perform certain duty.

Chairman Butler, amid howls of de.
light from the straight-outs, ruled the mo
tion out of order.
Mr. Washburn, of Massachusetts,, an
nounced that he had an important reso-
luton to offer. It was as follows:
Whereas, We are all POpulists and
deprecate the talk which has appeared in
some newspapers that there is ~disposi-
tion on the part of any portion Of this
convention to refuse to abide by the &C.
tion of this convention; therefore
Resolved, That we repudiate all such
utterances as reflect on the fidelity of the
members of this convention and the Peo-
ple's party.
Mr.. Washburn said that the question OF
preserving the organization of this
"grand party" was vital, and called for
full discussion.
A storm of protests came from the
dle-of-the-roaders.
At 12:42, recess was taken until 2 p.
m.
MAJORITY FOR SENATOR ALLEN.
st. Louis.-A majority of the Populist
committee on permanent organization
has selected William V. Allen, of Ne
braska, as permanent chairman. The
minority has decided to make two To-
ports, one for Campion, of Maine, and
the other for Butler, if he will allow his
name to be used.
PATTERSON DELEGATION SEATED.
1886 p. m.-The credentials committee
recommends in the Illinois contest that
both delegations be seated and be given
half vote each. A minority report will
be submitted.
In Colorado, the Patterson delegation
was seated. Mr.. Patterson then moved
the consideration of contests in alpha
betical order of states.
WEAVER is foR BRYAN.
st. Louis.-The members of the Popu-
list committee on platform met at a
hotel to-day immediately after their ap-
pointment.
Gen. j. B. Weaver, of Iowa, was elected
chairman over Hon. Jerome Kirby, of
Texas.
Gen. Weaver said he was for the prin-
ciples of the party first and for party
autonomy next, but he desired it under
stood that he did not propose to give up
either.
The committee decided upon the ap-
pointment of five ub-committees of five
each on preamble, finance, transporta.
tion, land and direct legislation aud
authorized the chairman to make selec.
tions.
BRYAN WILL BE INDORsED.
4p. m.-The election of Gen. Weaver,
of Iowa, to be chairman Of the committee
on resolutions, defeating Kirby, creates a
tremendous enthusiasm among the ad-
vocates of principle who desire to see the
Democratic nominees indorsed by the
convention. It is now:no longer regard
cd as at all doubtful but that the radical
middle of.the-road element, upon whom
Mark Hanna's agents have been working,
are in the minority, and IT is safe to say
that the convention will give Bryan and
Sewall hearty Endorsement.

PAYS FOR HIS FUN.
Annapolis Cadet Sentenced to One
Year for Hazing.
Compelled Another Member of the Acad-
envy to Execute the "Spread Eagle"
and "Qutck Step" Until Ut
terly Exhausted.

Secretary Herbert has just been noti-
fed of serious case of hazing at the
Annapolis naval academy. Robert
Cherry Foy, cadet from Alabama,
has been sentenced to close confinement
for one year for the offense, and the
sentence has received the. approval of
the navy department. This is the most
severe sentence ever imposed at the
academy for hazing. 1t is expected to
discourage the practice in future. The
offender was member of the "year-
ling" class, and his victim was 10-year-
old youth named Prentiss, from west
ern New York. The hazing consisted
of putting Prentiss through the fatigu-
ing exercise known as the spread
eagle" which consists of bobbing up
and down as quickly as possible, keep
Ing all the muscles OF the legs and body
stiff and bending only the knees. It
is an exercise that is given only in
homeopathic doses by the instructors.
q minute being considered sufficiently
fatiguing for any cadet.
Lieut.. Dyer, one of the instructors,
was quiet spectator of the proceed
tngs. He was on the scene for a brief
period unobserved and heard Foy lazily
order the "plebe" to vary his perform
once with the "quickstep." This is On
equally firing exercise, the man having
to lift his knees alternately and as
quickly as possible to the height of his
waist, like prancing horse. The
strongest man could hardly keep this
up for more than five minutes without
extreme physical fatigue.
When Lieut.. Dyer had seen this con-
tinue for several minutes glance at
the "plebe's" face told him it was time
TO interfere. As he entered the tent
where the hazing was in progress Foy
sprang to his feet, while the "plebe"
turned toward him and then fell in
faint to the floor. Water was dashed
in his face, but as he did not revive
he was carried to his quarters for treat
ment. Foy was Immediately placed
under arrest. It was nearly an hour,
before Prentiss regained full conscious
ness, and even then he was incoherent
in his utterances.

Uncle Sam Sends the Soldier Boys Their

The Thirteenth United States infan-
try, stationed ut Fort niagara, n. "
has made an innovation in it's methods
of transporting the monthly remittance
to pay the command from Lewiston to
the post. For years it has been Gus
tomary for the officials in Washington
to forward = necessary amount to
pay the t. ) to Lewiston, q small
village 6 New York Central rail-
road. seven miles from Niagara
Falls. this point it was met by q
detail AZ ON the post and transported to
headquarters in large covered wagon
having six seats, and in which the es-
cort rode. But the advent of the BIZ
cycle and its growing popularity have
wrought change which, in army cir
Giles, is most notable. A few days ago
when the remittance arrived at Lew
tston 1t was met at the station bY
Lieut.. NJ. Mcfarland and an escort Of
six men, consisting of Sergt. George
Cool, of Company FL, Priyates Ranch,
Moon, Rose, Gooser, Of Company c, and
Suffer, of Company II. They travelled
by bicycles and were armed with Colts
SS-caliber revolvers, securing the money
package, which was placed on Lieut..
McFarland's wheel, and they started on
the return to the fort. The trip was
mode in about IS minutes, and all were
delighted with the new service. The
road from Lewiston to Fort Niagara
runs along one of the most beautiful
portions of the Niagara river. Tt is
wooded at points, and the possibility
of escaping to Canada by crossing the
stream might tempt some bold high
waymen to attempt a hold-up of the
bicycle party, but they would find that
the revolvers of the regulars are carried
for business and that they know how
to use them effectively.

Letters from Madrid show that near.

are farmed out for long terms. The

tanned control of the !Almaden quicksii-
