THE CHICAGO PLATFORM
1t Has Given International Bimetallism
in Europe Body Blow.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Hon. Chauncey
NJ. Depew arrived from Europe yes
terday. He has been called home by the
alarming illness of Mr.. Vanderbilt. He
has nothing but the pleasantest words
for the English peoples hospitality. He
said the English were unanimous for
arbitration instead of possible war, so
far as America is concerned
Mr.. Depew said the action of the Chi
cago Convention profoundly interested
the English, and indeed all Europe. 1t
mad given international bimetallism a..
body blow in Europe from which it will
require years to recover. 1t has killed
the blmetallist party in Great Britain
and paralyZed it in Germany.

Later Than September I'd.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The committee
appointed by the gold-standard Demo-
Gratis last night to prepare and issue

troller Eckels arrived this morning. It

vention not later than September I'd.

CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
Bryan Nominated for President by
the Populists.

ST. LOUIS, July 20.-The convention
was called TO order at $40 o'clock. After
Traver by the Rev Mr.. Kent of Wash
angton. the Chairman repeated his rul-
ing of last night that the amendment
adopted by the convention giving the
nomination of Vice-President prefer
ence over the nomination of President
made the selection of National Commit
seemen the next order of business. j.
X. Burkett Of California protested that
this was not so, and contended that the
convention simply transposed the nom
ination of Vice-President and Presi-
dent. The Chairman replied that the
Eentlemans statement of the fact was
entirely mistaken, and went on with the
naming of National Committeeman.
When this was completed he called next
for Committees on Notification
The Chair announced that the next
order of business was nominations for
President.
Green of Nebraska got on the plat
form to make a motion and speech.
The latter was to the effect that this
was one of the important conventions
that ever assembled on American soil.
as 1t was to name a man who was not
only TO head the ticket, but who was to
be elected. At this point the speech
was interrupted by points of order,
which irritated Mr.. Green to the extent
of making him leave the stand. He
was. however, induced to come back,
and the rules were suspended to enable
him to go on in order. He declared.
however, that his self-respect would
prevent him from saying anything, and
he retired for good.
Alabama being called, George Gather
of that State addressed the convention
and yielded to General Weaver. Cen
eral Weaver opened his speech with the
remark that the condition Of the Peo-
pies party this morning was most
