The Republican newspapers OF Kansas
have been busily engaged for sometime
in telling the people that the Populist
party is dead, but the fRlsity Of the
statement was attested by the interest
taken in the State convention of that
party at Abilene last week. The at
tendance was very large and the reports
brought in from all parts Of the State
were very encouraging for successful
campaign.
The crowds began to gather Monday.
All day Monday and Tuesday and
Wednesday they kept coming. Twenty
four hours before the convention con-
vened the city Of Abilene, had a larger
crowd thanit had ever entertained before.
The delegates and visitors spent the
time talking over the gubernstorisl
situation. Most of the discussions were
good natured, but all were very much in
earnest.
The first session Of the convention was
held Tuesday morning at IL o'clock.
Chairman Breidenthal introduced G. s.
Crawford Of Abilene and the convention
listened to an address Of welcome. This
was hardly necessary, as the crowd was
already aware of the fact that the con-
vention was welcome. In fact, they
were reminded OF it on every occasion,
and none could go home feeling that
Abilene had not done her best.
After the reading Of the call by Secre-
tsry Semple, Judge Dennison was elected
temporary Chairman on motion Of G. A.
johnson of Winfield. The election was
be Rcclamation. John Madden Of EN-
poria presented gavel used by Eugene
V. Debs in the meeting which called the
A. r. U. strike. Hendee Of Hutchinson
and Frank Hunnewell of Coucordis we're
elected Secretaries.
The committees which had been
chosen by the delegates in Con-
gressional district caucuses were then
reported as follows:

White House that Bryan was nominated
for President.

The free silver sentiment is gaining
ground rapidly in the North and East,
and as there are more than three months
for work it is not known what vote Bryan
and Sewall may yet poll in what has been
regarded as the stronghold of gold mono
metallism. Secretary Gardner, of the
Democratic Congressional committee, is
in receipt of "A large number of letters
from New England and New York an
nouncing the formation of Bryan and
Sewall clubs, and asking for free silver
literature. All the information from
those States indicates that the people
are waking up to a--correct idea of the
situation land that the results may not
be all one way, as the Republican man
ayers have been fondly..believing.

ANOTHER TICKET POSSIBLE

All of this alleged talk of ex-Secretarv
OF the Navy Whitney as to the necessity
for the nomination of gold Democratic
ticket for President is strangely suppes-
tive, especially as the name of President
Cleveland as a possible nominee for re-
election is continually brought forward
in this connection. 1t is''well known that
the relations between the President and
his ex'secretary are :most.. intimate and
cordial and that the latter after taking
such prominent part in the proceedings
OF the Chicago conventions. should go
about.the country observation-disclosures

than passing strange. VI Ordinarily men
who go into primaries are held in honor
bound to abide by thewill of the:.maiority
even in such remote contingency as q
Presidential nomination; but, when a
man is elected delegate to a.convention
and remains in it to the close of its pro-
ceedings and then declares he will-not
abide by the result, he puts himselt'in a
position which is decidedly compromising
to say the least. This appears to be lust
what the eX-secretary of the navy has
done. He went Chicago TO. fight for the
gold standard, and if he and his friends
had excepted to the action of the majority
and retired early in the proceedings, there
could be no just grounds for conlemning
his course, however much it might he

He did not go out when Hill was turned

cal game played there, but remained until

Secretary Warner, of the Bimetallic
Union, at Washington, says there has
been an enormous increase in the de-
mands for silver literature during the
past few days, so great in fact that at
present he cannot supply it. A Demo-
cratic official of West Virginia casks him
for 25O, 900 copies of free silver docu-
ments, and says he can place all of them
where they will do good. An ex Con-
gresham from Illinois writes that free
silver documents will be of far more value
there than speeches and asks for all that
he can get. Laboring men of Philadel-
phia want matter to distribute among
their fellow employees and say there are
five hundred men with them who are on
the fence and do not need anything to
bring them over to the Democratic side
but some good arguments for silver The
examples mentioned, he says, are only
few of the hundred letters which he re-
ceived in one day. Silver organizations,
he says, are being formed all over the
country. In Illinois great many clubs
have been organized and Republicans are
rapidly joining them. Requests for lit
erature are pouring in from the East, and
Mr.. Warner says it would open the eyes
of the gold men if they were to see the
sentiment for silver which has been awak-
ened there.

Republican partisan when he was a MEM

some very harsh things about Democracy

SOUNDS FROM THE CAMPAIGN.
Voters Find No applications and Will Be
 Able to Line Up Without Trouble.

Two days of the last week of the cam paign before the democratic primaries, and all is well. The lines between the Johnston and Clarke forces are tighten ing, and voters who are controlled by convictions on the money question as between Mr. Porter and the single gold standard and Dr. R. M. Cunningham for bimetallism have no difficulty in reaching a decision. It is the same as to the choice of six representatives of Jef- ferson county in the lower house of the general assembly.
 Dr. Cunningham spoke at Blossburg last night. MT. Porter is reported to be still unwell and did not meet Dr. Cum ningham The next appointment will be at Woodlawn, at which place it is hoped that MT. Porter may be able to be pres ent. The canvass between these gentle men has been likened unto that of the famous campaign of the Taylor brothers in Tennessee Not a word has been ut tered to mar the feelings of either and 1t has been measuring of swords on plane that has greatly strengthened the democratic party, not only in Birming- ham, but throughout the county. Their campaign has been watched with interest and each candidate has received letters of encouragement from nearly every quarter.
 Naturally, Dr. Cunningham has greatly the advantage in the sides of the ques- tions at issue, he being, as he explains it, a "bimetallist as l interpret to mean the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of Is to 1; a silverloon, as the gold standard men call me, and propose to cast one vote, if elect ed, for a United States senator who agrees with my views, if only one in a hll." Dr. Cunningham has also the ad- vantage in that he favors twice a month pay day by corporations, and will endeavor to hove enacted law to that effect, which MT. Porter claims is uncon- stitutiona1.
 The above are the only vital points on which the gentlemen differ They have had good crowds at each of their appoint ments. Both have had their friends and the effect of their speeches has been un- mistakably plain that the, voters choice as between the two men will be made strictly on the principles they advocate.

LOCATING THE STEEL PLANT.
Work Will Begin Within Thirty Days and the
 Plant Will Be Located at EnsIey

A gentleman high in authority stated yesterday that there is not now miss ing link or any other obstacle to the building of the steel plant promised through parties interested in the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company. It is pretty we'll settled that the enterprise will be located at Ensley.
 The same gentleman said that he de- voted just five hours from his office to playing the $100.00O stock that Birming- ham was asked to take. He also said that work will begin within the next thirty days. and withing twelve months from the starting of steel making here more than 100 new metal working indus tries will be located in Birmingham. Let ters have already been received from all parts of the country and from some of the best known and largest manufac- turers of specialties asking for informa- tion, stating that their purpose is to move their plants to Birmingham when she begins the making of steel.
 Every one interested in iron and steel in the distrct is highly elated oyer the prospects and there exists a general bet ter feeling all around
 Another prominent citizen and large real estate owner also remarked that the policy now should be to offer every inducement possible to secure each in- dustry as offered; that no boom prices should be placed on property, but on the other hand property owners should trim as close as possible that no breaks may be made to secure the very best manu- featuring interest.
 With the making of the cheapest steel sooner or later every shop using steel will be attracted this way. It has been clearly demonstrated and accepted by the leading iron men of the world that the Birmingham district can produce both iron and steel cheaper than any, where else in the whole world.
 Already Birmingham is exporting pig iron to England and in a few months will begin to ship steel also.
 Taken altogether, the business pulse of Birmingham is gaining strength and fullness like an athlete in training and her prospects in every way are brighter than at any time in her history.

 Now that Captain Johnston's nomina- tion is almost certain, the Brewton John ston club is determined to carry EScam- bia for the captain, and to this end they are working day and night and are con- fident of success.
