WANTS M'KINLEY INDORSED.
Delegate Lassiter, of Texas. Says He
Intends to Vote for the Ohio Man.

N n. Lassiter, of Fort Worth, Tex, one
of the delegates from that State, registered
at the Bates House yesterday afternoon.
The forty or fifty members of the delega-
ton will arrive some time Tomorrow. MIR.
Iassiter says that the Texas convention of
the sound-money Democrats was a very
successful affair. something like six hum
dred delegates having been in attendance
from all parts of the State. over one hun
dred of them were farmers, which goes to
show. Mr.. Lassiter thinks, that Bryan will
not have the strength in the rural districts
that is claimed for him.
Mr. Lassiter declares that he does not
favor the nomination of candidates at the
convention this week. He says he believes
the convention ought 10 indorse Cleve-
lands administration, adopt a declaration
of principles somewhat on the order OF the
Declaration of Independence, and then ad-
journ. His statement that the Texas dele
cation will favor such a plan is at vari-
ance with letters from otner Texas dele
gates that have been received at the hcad-
quarters of the committee here. which as
Sert that Texas is in favor OF the nominal
ton OF Il strong ticket upon thoroughly
Democratic platform. The Fort Worth del
egate says that the Southern delegations
VIII only favor the nomination of a ticket
in Difference to the wishes of the sound
a course being a necessity to afford
anti-Bryan Democrats an opportunity 10
vote, and at the same time reiieye them Of
the necessity of supporting Mckinley,
which they regard as equivalent TO voting
for protective tariff. Personally. Mr.. Las
sitter says that he intends TO vote for Nc
kinley. and that he will leave the conven-
ton rather than help nominate a ticket,
which he would feel bound 10 support aft
erward.
What are McKinleys chances of carry
ing Texas he was asked.
IF the Populists and Republicans fuse.
which now seems likely. Mckinley will
have a good lighting chance Otherwise /
do not see how Bryan can be prevented
from getting the electoral votes
In explaining the Texas situation Mr.. Las
sitter said that the Popclis;s are on the war
path as they were openly insulted and vio-
lently abused at the recent Democratic State
convention. when their proposition 10 sup
port Bryan in return for having names OF
Watson electors placed the ticket was
defantly refused. Now a movement Is on
foot for "A fusion between the Republicans
and Populists. whereby the Republicans
will agree TO support the Popuistic State

DOwN-TOwN DECORATIONS.



Order-At the Denison.
The indications are that by tonight the
business portion of the city will be hand
somely decorated in honor of the National
Democratic convention. The business men
will look upon the matter in q nonpartisan
light and will try to make the city present
an attractive appearance. South Meridian
street merchants will especially endeavor
to give the street a pleasing effect.
Murphy Hbben & Co. will begin early this
morning and set their building decorated
before the regular Monday morning rush
of trade begins. Commodore" John Hig-
gins. the leader of the nash" of the Fif-
teenth ward Is an empioye or this nrm
and was notified Saturday night to present
himself at the store earlier than usual to
assist in the work of decoration. The
Commodore took the order as bitter
pill and intimated that he might resign.
He may find ii possible, however, to do the
work as John Higgins, the employe of
Murphy, Hibben & Co.. and for the time
h5 the Denson as House the decorations
are TO be most elaborate. Some little of
the work has already been done by the
hotel people, but the work VIII be taken in
hand this morning by the people who deco
rated Tomlinson Hall. At present the en-
tire front of the building is decorated with
American flags, extending from the win
dowsills of every room. The pillars sup
porting the balcony in front of the house
are draped in yellow bunting, while along
the balustrade of the balcony is bunting
of red, white and blue. Extending from
the upright electroliers at the outward
edge of the balcony to the building is a
banner bearing the greet welcome Sound
money Men" Inside the decorations have
just begun. The pillars are draped with
gold and. about the desk are some flags
and bunting, not very tastefully arranged.

The date for the convention was fixed for
Sept. 2. and the provisional national CON-
mittee and executive committee We're or
ganized at this meeting Since then the
energies OF the leaders have been devoted
to organizing the movement in the various
States. with what success can be seen by
the list of delegates, printed In another
column. And this list. by the way, shows
the strongest personnel or any Democratic
convention that has been held in twenty
The incoming delegates are full of praise
for Bynum for the high order OF executive
ability he has shown IN organizing the
movement in smoothing over difficulties, in
bringing various States into line with the
new ticket idea and In stirring up interest
in the opposition TO free silver. It Is true
that he has had able assistance in various
parts of the country. Nearly all the men
who were for sound-money before the Chi
ccago convention: among them ex-Chairman
Harrity, have given the executive commit
tee the benefit of their knowledge of the
conditions and men in various States, thus
enabling the committee 10 proceed intelli-
The main strength CT the movement lies
In the States that are considered fighting
ground nGIana n9l. inw Nepptasky Mis-
souri, and Michigan. One would naturally
suppose that its main strength would lie in
the East. where the SoInd-money sentiment
Is almost unanimous bat such Is not the
case. They do not take their politics 50
hard in the East as do the people OF the
middle West and a Democrat. IN this emer-
gency does not find il at all difficult to
vote for Mckinley The leaders have found
fully as much difficulty, il not more, In COM
batting the Democratic Mckinley senti-
ment in the East than in fighting the dis
position TO stand by the Chicago ticket, SIM
ply because it bears the Democratic brand
in the West. In fact the most determined
Mckinley men in the country are found
right In the ranks of Tammany Hall, among
men who would no more vote the Repub-
lican ticket under ordinary conditions than
they would fly.
The convention will be notable in one or
two other particulars aside from the sud-
denness with which 1t has been brought to-
gether 1t will have no contendng factions

NEW YORK, Oct 2l.-Commauder
Booth Tucker has appeared before the
board of special inquiry at Ellis Island
to plead for the admission of the Ia,
Armenian refugees detained there penn
ing a decision as to their desirabinty a.

DR. Senner defined the POSITION OF
the government in the matters as fol
lows:
We cannot allow these people t.

ioan workmen We don't know any
Armenians OF any other class. All peO
pie come here as Immigrants, and a.
they arrive we decide as to their merits
as individuals and not as class IL
they are eligible then they will be ad
mitted the same as any other desirable
person Before we can admit thes'
people that the Salvationists and Other
philaDthropists want landed. we must
have some substantial guarantee IN the
shape of bonds that the people 50 al
mitted will not become a charge on tn"
country, and not general promises that
they will not become public charges
THE workmen of Massachusetts have
complained very much abont the lmmi
grants from Armenia during the past
few years 1t is claimed that they have
lowered the standard of wages in som'
industries, and especially in the shO'
trade Some manufacturers, they say
have even gone so far as to employ non'
but Armenians.

tion mnst not be considered exclusively

the situation. II said in substance:
In half the natural half of the spec
ulative course we have only followed
the lead set by the United States
where spectators are very active. The
years scarcity, in spite of the fact that
England had a 1000, ,O00-crop. has in
duced spectators to rush in. Russia s
crop is poor and Austrias 5 is practically
nil But what is of greater moment,
consumers having large advance mill
ing contracts also rushed in to secure
supplies, even at top prices, which are
20 per cent higher than last week.
The California wheat sent to India

the moral effect of this movement and
the impending famine in India has been

Still this does not account for more than
half the rise. The balance is solid ad-

ATLANTA. Oct 2l-The Democrats
and Popuhst committees have failed to

the electors be for Bryan and Watson
thus ignoring Sewall.
The resolution refusing the Popu-
iistlc proposition was offered by none
other than Chairman Jones' personal
representative, who had favored 1t, but
who claimed that he had been under a
mlsapprehension as to what the Popu
iists wanted He said he had no idea
when he came down here at the sug-
gestion of Chairman j. X Jones that
the Populists wanted 10 electors for
Watson. He thought that they would
propose some fair division. which
would not totally ignore the candidacy
of Vice President Sewall.
