THE CHICAGO CONVENTION
Great Local Interest Manifested in the
Proceedings.

There is an intense local interest in
the proceedings OF the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in Chicago, judging
from the crowds which assembled about
the Register bulletins, and the number
of calls over the Register phone. The
sidewalk in front Of the office was
thronged all day, and every fresh bull
letin was scanned eagerly, while the in
formation contained in each was dis
cussed from all sides, and incidentally
there were a number of arguments be-
ing gold and silver advocates.
The greatest interest appeared so
center in the action OF the convention
in the temporary organization, and
there were many inquiries as to the re-
suit from neighboring towns. During
the remaining days. it is likely that there
will be an increased interest in the
conventions work.

New York Democrats Repudi-
ates Chicago Convention.
Want to Put Another Demo
cratic Ticket Up.
WAS NOT UNANIMOUS.
Six Members We're Opposed to
This Course.
Said Every LabOrer Would Vote
For Bryan Anyhow.

New York, July 16.-The executive
committee of the state Democracy met
last night and repudiated the Chicago
platform. 1t also advocated the put
ting of a third candidate in the field.
The resolutions were adopted only
after prolonged debate.
The resolutions ''repudiate and con-
denim the revolutionary and un-DennO-
cratic platform adopted at the social
ed Democratic convention held in Chi
cago."
The free silver plank is particularly
condemned as proposing to substitute
for the present gold standard IAN I'M
stable and deprecated standard which
has been repudiated by every civilized
and prosperous nation and which would
put US on a par with China, Mexico, and
other countries where labor is motor
iOuSly underpaid.'
The failure of the Chicago convention
to indOrse the present Democratic ad-
ministratiOn is rOundly condemned
In view Of the POpulStic and un-Dem-
ocratic character of the platform
adopted at the Chicago convention, the
resolutions declare that no Democrat
owes adherence to it, or is called upon
to support the candidates who have
consented to stand upon it"
In conclusion the resolutions indOrse
the action of the New York delegates
who withdrew from the convention. An
other resolution was adopted instruct
ing the chairman to appoint a commit
tee of seven to cooperate with other
organizations in putting into the field
independent Democratic candidates for
president and vice president.
The resolutions were vigorously op
posed by a. Kie1y and Michael Fen
nelly. Mr.. Fennelly said that the or
ganization might denounce as they
would, but every wage Garner, every
mechanic, every labOrer, skilled or IN
skilled would vote for Bryan. Mr..
Fennelly had about six followers in the
committee, and these after the meeting
said they would consider the advisa-
bilfty Of withdrawing from the organ

SOUTH DAKOTA FOB BRYAN
Is Now Conceded the Nebraska Man
Will Garry It.

Huron, S. D, July Ex-senator Petit
grew arrived here yesterday ahead of
all others to attend the Peoples Party
state convention. He said the nominal
ton of Bryan was entirely satisfactory
to him, as well as to the other silver
senators who bolted the St. Louis con-
vention.
Pettigrew wants to go to the Popu-
list national convention at ST. Louis,
as a delegate from South Dakota and
the indications are that he will.
The situation in Populistic politics IN
this state is somewhat changed since
the nomination of Bryan, and the en-
thusiastS now claim they can read their
title clear to the next administration
Bryan is we'll known here, having
made many silver speeches in this state
during the past year.
1t is expected that the YanktOn Press
of which Senator Pettigrew's private
secretary is one of the prOprietOrS, and
which paper has carried Teller'S name
at its masthead for a year prior to the
Republican national convention will
announce in the convention tomorrow
a flop to free silver
In connection with Hopping of news
papers it is forwarned that another
change is to be expected about Octo-
Der I, when a certain well known Sioux
Falls daily is scheduled to drop the
Republican ticket and espouse the
cause of the opposition. This change
is inevitable.

FIRST BLOOD FOR SILVER.
One of Bryan's Supporters Pays q
Fine for Assault.

New York, July 16.In a Broadway ca
Bile car early yesterday morning there
was a wordy war, which ended in blows
about the nominee of the Chicago con-
Vention.
Jordan Jones of No. 1874 West Thirty
seventh street boarded the car at Fiji
tieth street about 2 a. m. to go home.
There he met, for the first time, Charles
]. Clancy of No. 4O1 West FOrtieth
street
Jones is said to be a silver advocate,
while Clancy enjoys the reputation of
being a gold bug The men fell into
a discussion about the question, and
Bryans nomination was talked of. The
arguments became heated, and at For
tieth street they left the car and en-
gagged in a combat. The silver advO-
cate struck Clancy a blow in the face
that knocked him down. PatrOlman
Nachbar of the West Thirtieth street
station appeared at this critical juno
ture, and arrested Jones.

BRYAN AT KANSAS CITY.
The Democratic Nominee to Spend
the Might There.

Kansas City, July lev. J. Bryan,
the Democratic nominee for president,
will arrive in Kansas City early this
evening and remain over night.
The following telegram, dated at Sa-

county committee, briefly states his
plans
The Hon. H. s. Julian:
VIII arrive with family on Missouri
Pacific Thursday evening, stay over
night and leave on Burlington Friday
morning. VIII not make political
speech W. J. BRYAN.
Before leaving Chicago Mr.. Julian
had urged Mr.. Bryan to come to Kan
sas City and make political speech.
Mr.. Bryan told him he expected to
come this way on his trip home and
would notify him in advance. The tel
egram shows that he did not forget the
agreement.
Chairman Roland Hughes of the w.
J. Bryan club has called a meeting of
the executive committee of his club at
4 O'Clock to prepare for a proper recep-
ton. Mr.. Julian said late this afternoon
that he would ask both clubs and Dem
OcratS generally to join in the demon
StratiOn in Bryan'S honor. His plan is
to have as many Democrats as possible
march to the depot with a band lead
ing the way, and escort Mr.. Bryan and
his family to one of the large hotels
and there entertain the presidential
candidate accOring to his own wishes.
