THE GOLDBUG PAPERS OF NEW
YORK TALK BRYAN.
Evening Sun is Very Severe; the
Post Vomits Venom; the CONNER
cia1 Advertiser Grows Egotisti-
caI-The News Alone is Right.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-The Evening
Sun, in commenting upon Hon. Will
lam ]. Bryan's speech at the notifica-
ton meeting last night, says:
The Hon. William Jennings Bryan
expected to stampede a New York au-
dience as he did the Chicago conven-
ton. He did not Instead Of being
exhflaTated, they were bored. A little
was enough for them. Having salts
fed their curiosity OF the man of Dor
rowed ideas, many took their hats and
went away. In the face of adverse
circumstances, the reader struggled on
to the end. Instead of sweeping over
gasped painfully through a. cut and
dried piece that was Intellectual,
wearying and dull
The Post says:
we have now had Mr.. Bryan in two
charac ters-that of a demagogue and
that Of a solemn economist. If any
thing could make US prefer the former
role, it would be his performance Of
the latter. His conception of the
demagOgue part was very poor, but all
these misconceptions of his role are as
nothing compared with the gross, the
incredible ignorance he displayed
when he assayed the character of
profound economist"
The Commercial Advertiser says:
From this hour the triumph of
Americanism and the cause OF public
honor is assured. The reckless dema-
gogues at the head Of the faction
which hoisted the flag Of riot and,
reputation at Chicago have played
their last important card and failed
completely. miserably and ignomin-
iously.'
The News says:
Mr.. Bryan's speech was not what
his enemies expected it would be.
Those who came to hear a boy orator
with cyclonic western mannerisms
were woefully disappointed. They saw
a grave, dignified, handsome man and
they listened to an exhaustive, argu-
mentative, logical and impressive ar
raignment of the party of the classes,
and an eloquent appeal for the preser-
walton of the principles Of Jefferson,
Jackson and Lincoln. 1t was the effort
of a statesman

AN OBDURATE FATHER.
OBJECTS TO HIS SON MARRYING
THE GIRL HE WRONGED.
"a Miner, is Held for Trial on Il
Charge of FOrnicatiOn.

Charles Sampson was on trial in
Judge Wengers court yesterday for for
nication, with the result that he was
bound over to the district court in
sum of $500.
The circumstances connected with the
case were related in The Herald some
days ago. Sampson, who is the SON of
the meat market man, is scarcely 20
years of age. For some time he has
been paying attention to pretty Maggie
Rowlard-uE'wisely 1T proved-for some
weeks ago she gave birth to a. bouncing
baby boy and Charles frankly admitted
that the newcomer had a right to call
him father. To right the wrong the
boy offered to marry the girl, but here
his father stepped in and said nay
The matter was brought before the
county attorney and after an attempt
to- go to Idaho, where the law does not

cited to walk the carpet in Judge Wen

on the stand, and among other things

he alone was responsible for the girl S
condition, there was very little for the
prosecution to gain by the testimony
of others.
Attorney Straup, who represented the
defendant, waived the privilege of put

promptly bound over.
The $500 bail was furnished by the
obdulate father. who prefers to fight
the matter in the courts rather than
have his son amend his evil deed.

THE SWEEP EST SONG.

| asked a. famous singer who had sung
The songs which half a listening world
had stirred,
What was the song that touched his
heart the most
What was the sweetest song he ever
heard
The singer unused a moment, then re-
piled:
In tropic climes our good ship lay be-
Gained;
The sea was glass the sky a blazing fire.
Malignant fever held me in it's tolls
Till in a mad delirium I raved
Of ouenchless flames, and burning, end
less thirst.
"one day woke though still I seemed
to dream;
I heard the gurgling waters sweeping
The cool winds famed my head yet hot
from pain;
Delicious rest and langour filed my soul;
And then o. welcome sound,
The cry Land ho!'
The sailors gathered on the deck to see,
And as the good ship bounded through
the foam
They sang the sweetest song on earth to
Twas Home Sweet Home"

MR.. AND MRS. BRYAN.
THEY WE'RE AT HOME TO VISITORS
In NEW YORK YESTERDAY.
Why the Democratic Nominee Pre-
ferred to Read His Reply to
stones Speech Announcing His
Nomination.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan were at home to visitors in the
ladies' parlor at the Windsor hotel to-
day. At 10 o'clock Mn. St John sum-
moned Mr.. Bryan to conference with
Senators TilGman Of South Carolina,
Walsh of Georgia, Blackburn of Ken
lucky, and Benton Mcmillan of Ten
nessee.
After the conference a start was
made for the Windsor hotel. There was
no demonstration when Mr.. Bryan and
party arrived. Mrs. Bryan stood between
hxr husband and Mr.. Sewall. The pro-
gramme announced by Mr.. st. John was
that there should be no handshaking.
That promise was disTegarded. Every
one eli the hundreds who attended the
reception, shook hands with each of
the three. The reception lasted lesa
than an hour. Mr.. Bryan is much
pleased with last nights meeting and
regards it as a tremendous success.
From II to l O'Clock, Mr.. Bryan infor
mally received members of the nation
al committee and of the notification
committee.
Less than one hundred women ac
cepted the invitation to meet Mrs. Bry-
an and Mrs. Bland at a. reception held
for women in the parlors Of the Wind
sor house, at Forty-sixth street and
Fifth avenue this afternoon. 1t was
probably because the reception had aoi
been properly announced that the at
tendance was so small. Mrs. St. John
escorted Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Bland and
Mrs. Stewart to the room and the Wo-
men fiocked around them. There was
a kind of formal handshaking, and then
the rest of the reception hour was
passed in informal chatting.
1t has been decided that Mr.. Bryan
will enter actively into the campaign on
about Sept. 1. and continue on the
stump until election day. To obtain
needed rest and to prepare his letter OF
acceptance before his speech making
begins, he will spend the next two
weeks at some quiet place, not yet de-
cided upon.
The visit to Bath Me, will therefore
be postponed until the latter part OF
September, when Mr.. Bryan will make
a number of speeches in New England
To a representative of the United
Associated Presses, Mr.. Bryan made
the following explanation of the read
ing of his reply to the notification
speech:
knowing that it would be printed in
full, 1 thought it more important that
it should reach in correct form the mil
lions who will read it than that the de-
livery should please the few thousands
who were present. 1t is always uHlfor-
tunate when a speaker is compelled tc
read a. political speech, bur in this IN
stance l thought it best not to risk
the errors which always creep into the
report Of an eXtemporaneous speech.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13.-Accord-
ing to an evening paper revolutionary
society has been formed in China for
the overthrow of the present dynasty,
and agents are now in this city seek
ing financial assistance. They are said
to have met with much encouragement
and in a short time will proceed to
New York
The society, which is known as the
Hing Chung Woly. has already gained
a firm footing among the Chinese of
Honolulu and Australia, and its ennis
saries are now at work in Mexico.
Pamphlets issued by the society have
been distributed among the Chinese in
this city, in which it is charged that
the emperor is lazy and leaves the
control of the empire to the manda
rims, who are treading on the working
classes
Ii Hung Chang is charged with
traitorous conduct in connection with
the late war with Japan, and facts
which are now part of the history of
Chinas defeat are cited at length to
show that Ii Hung Chang's relations
traded their honor for Japanese gold
during the war between the two coun-
tries.
1t is well known that the members of
the local Chinese colony entertain
bitter hatred for Ii Hung Chang, and
there are but few who doubt that he
would be taking a great risk with his
life if he visited this city, and this ac-
counts, it is said, for >his announced
intention to return home by way Of
Vancouver.

WISE SALT LAKE HERALD.
1t Drops the Chicago Associated

vice.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. g.
The Salt Lake Herald, the leading
morning newspaper of Utah, has aban-
doned the news service of the Chicago
Associated Press, and is now receiving
the full leased wire overland and Pa
ciic coast news report of the United
Associated Presses. In its issue this
morning announcing the change as a
new and important step in the way of
permanent improvement" The Herald
says that the dispa tches sent out by
the Chicago Associated Press have been
unsatisfactory IN many particulars,
and anything but impartial, especially
in political Matters that The United
Associated Presses IS the most indie
pendent, comprehensive and efficient
news gathering organization in the
world and that in making a perma-
nent alliance with it The Herald has
availed itself of the earliest practical
opportunity to cut loose from the Chi
cago Associated Press, and to lend the
weight of lis influence to the movement
for having a better news service for
Utah and the inter-mountain states.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Aug. 13.-The
Wyoming Republican convention, after
twenfy-four hours wrestling in commit
tee over satisfactory plank, this after

without a dissenting vote:
I'VE favor the free coinage of gold
and silver into standard money as eX-
pressed in our former platforms, under
such legislation as will guarantee that
all our money shall remain ON an equal

congress, F. w. Mondell the present
representative; for supreme judge, H.
V. S. Froesbeck, the present chief JUS
tice; for presidential electors, w P.

Troubles of the Politicians Are Not

Over by Any Mems.
ELLENSBURG. Wash. Aug. 13.-The
conference committee organized nv
selecting Ex-Governor Miles c Moore
Of Waite Walla- a free silver Republic
an. as chairman. The morning hour
was spent in general discussion and
debate. At the noon hour an adjourn
ment was taken until 1:S0 .. m.
The Populists demanded the guber-
nacorjal berth, al the electoral ticket
and both congressman. and were Will
ing that the other two parties should
divide the nine remaining state OFFICES
IS best suited themselves. However.
this proposition was coupled with a
well-dehned inti1nation that they would
accept the governorship, half the cleo
toral ticEet, one congressman and one
or two subordinate offices. The free
silver Republicans modestly requested
one congressman, the lieutenant-gov-
ernor ard the privilege of voting for
any electoral ticket named.
In the convention today. the Popu-
lists adopted a platform asserting al
legiance to the Omaha and - Louis
platforms and demanding a liberal ex-
emption from taxa ton of personal
property and Improvements in or upon
land. This latter plank caused a spir-
1teu DEBATE, many cOnI2nlulnS III was too
long a step in the direction of a single
tax.
The conference committee have been
in session ali day. At 6 O'clock this
evening but little Roadway had been
made, though the leaders express them
serves as believing a satisfactory sclu-
1iun will be reached. Reason is having
sway, and but for the governorship, TO
great length of time would be required
to adopt a plan of action. There are
twelve state Offices to be divided, and
four presidential electors to be chosen.
Owing TO the peculiar construction Of
the stale law, there can be but one
set of electors voted for by fusiOnists,
as no name can appear twice on an Of
fetal ballot. While the conference
bodies as q committee of the whole
passed a resolution strictly forbidding
members giving out news or informa-
ton relative to their doings, yet much
is known as to what transpired at to-
days sessions. The Democrats asked
the gcvernorship and in return were
willing to concede TO the Popuiists half
of the electoral ticket. two Congress-
men. ard five other offices, leaving
about fosur subordinate Offices to the
free silver Republicans
