ARCH BALD.

The approach of the county and legis-
lative district conventions has caused
the friends of the different candidates
to stir themselves In behalf of their ia
vorites. Already announcement is
made that Attorney G. A. Battenberg
will stand as a delegates from the First
ward to the Republican convention and
Postmaster O'Rourke is announced as
a candidate from the Third ward to the
Fourth District Democratic convention.
1t is understood that Mr.. O'Rourke IA
vors the nomination of Professor r. J.
White as the Democratic standard
bearer in this district and will use his
influence to bring about that result.
There is feeling here that Archibald
is entitled to representation on either
the Democratic or Republican ticket.
1t has allowed other less populous
places in the district to share the hon
ors heretofore. and it is now about to
make an effort to procure its rights.
Mr.. White has been lifelong Dem
ocrat and he and his friends feel that
he is entitled to recognition. The Re-
publicans in this borough do not in
tend to remain idle during the pending
campaign, as Is evident from the inter-
est already shown in the preliminaries.
This evening there will be meeting of
the members Of the John X. Jones and
Mckinley clubs. and all other Republi-
cans not connected with these organi-
cations are also expected to be pres
ent. The meeting will be held in
Lindes' hall at s o'clock.
NJ. F. Gaughan and w. X. Philbin
are spending their vacation in New
York city.
John Il. Lack Is spending a few days
with his family at Ocean Grove.

JONES GOES TO SEE BRYAN.
The Democratic Chairman and the
Nominee to Confer.

st. Louis, July Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
committee, left for the home of William
j. Bryan in Lincoln tonight. Senator
Jones wishes to talk with Nominee Bry-
an as to the best methods of recognize
ing the nomination which the Populist
convention has given to Mr.. Bryan for
president. In view of the fact that
Arthur Sewall of Maine. the running
mate of Bryan on the Chicago ticket
was defeated for the nomination i'm the
Populist convention. the complications
that confront Senator Jones and Nom
inee Bryan demand personal con-
versatiOn between the Arkansas states
man and the Boy Orator of the Platte
1t Is the general opinion here tonight
that Bryan in some way will make it
known that he appreciates the nominal
ton of the Populist convention.
All stories to the effect that Bryan
for an instant has been personally in
terested in the case of Arthur Sewall
are nonsense. He never met Arthur
Sewall until the day after the Chicago
convention. He has prayed and hung
cred for the POpulist conventions nom
ination. and he has never for an in
stant thought about how Sewall would
fare here. 1t has not been a question
of Sewall with him, but 1t has been
one Of Bryan and for Bryan all the
time.

when passing through this city on his
way home that the st. Louis conver-
ton followed the programme mapped
out for 1t by Democratic managers. who

the reputation OF Sewall
I'VE mean to keep up our organiEl-
tion by means of state and county
tickets" Mr. Walters said, "and be
prepared to absorb the Democratic
party in case after election it plays us
false. A party that has had eleven
chances to pass a free-silver bill and
has refused to do so is not to BE- wholly
trusted. While we will work for Bry
ans election, we realize that success
may meal a due to thu death with
Democracy. We nayt the assurance nf
Senators jones and Allen that Byran,

not have nominated him."

Bath. Me. July 26.-During the Popu-

Bath, and Bath has taken but little in
terest in the proceedings. While bulle-
tions of both the Democratic and Re-
larly here, the only bulletin put out this
week was the one tonight announcing
the nomination of Bryan. Mr.. Sewall
has had no special service. and has de-
pended largely upon the newspapers for
his information regarding the conven-
ton. When he was asked how his re-
lection by the PoDulists would affect
him, he replied that he was not aware
that any other national Democratic
convention had taken place. and that
of course the proceedings of other po
litical parties could not affect his can
didacy:
Mr. Sewall certainly has no idea that
the failure of the Populists to nominate
him as well as Bryan need cause him to
withdraw from the campaign.
When asked II 1t was true that he had
offered to withdraw, he said:

anything of it,"
