CHICAGO, July 26.-Among those who
returned from st. Louis today, was a
gentleman who saw and read the sup
pressed dispatch from Mr. Bryan to Sen
ator Jones' chairman of the national COM
mittee. He possesses a fair memory, and
gives the following as the substance of the
document about which there was so much
talk and excitement during the last day
of the PopuHst convention. What is sub
joined may be relied upon as being sub
stantially correct:
considering all the circumstances and
conditions" wired Mr.. Bryan, Il have
concluded that the Populist convention
should not consider my name for the pres
idency, but if it determines to nominate
me. Notwithstanding this declaration, that
there may be no misunderstanding 1 de-
sire in advance to say that L shall not
during the campaign discuss any other
issues than those outlined in the Chicago
platform. desire, above everything else,
to be instrumental in having enacted into
the laws of the United States the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver
at the present ratio of Is to 1, without
awaiting the consent of any other
country.
1.-The Republican platform adopted at
st. Louis asserts that the bimetallic sys-
TEN should be restored, but that the
American people are helpless to bring
about bimetallism for themselves until
foreign nations are willing to assist. The
American people cannot afford to sur
render the right to legislate for them
selves ON all questions, and so long as
the right is disputed, it surpasSes all
others in Importance. The Populist- plat
form presents several new issues to dis
cuss, which, during this campaign will,
in my judgment, endanger the success of
our cause. 1 am not willing to be party
to anything which will divert attention
from the money question. Nor am 1 will
ing to be placed in the attitude of secur-
ing help from other political organizations
by sacrificing my associate upon the
ticket. He is as squarely upon the Chi
cago platform as 1 am myself and he has
defended the cause of bimetallism against
much greater opposition than have the
men of the west and the south. 1 desire
to be left free to support Sewall during
the campaign.
1T is due myself and the Populist con-
vention that there should be most out
spoken frankness between US
'gTo this Dispatch said the gentleman,
there was attached a postscript request
! ing that the statement be read to the
convention before the ballot was COM
menced.''
Why the dispatch was not read, the
reasons for the objections of Senator AL
len, chairman of the convention to its
reading. have been given in the Associated
Press dispatches from st. Louis.

ing TniIOrs in New York.
NEW YORK, July 26.-An old day
meeting was held by the striking
tailors of this city in Walhalla hall.
Addresses were made by a number of
leaders and the situation was generally
discussed. The substance of the re-
marks made by the various speakers
was that no compromise with the con-
tractors should be made; that the strik-
ers must stand firm and accept no
thing but victory. The fact that some
of the contractors in the past. who
combatted the tailors, have now joined
hands with them, is regarded by the
leaders as significant and is taken as
an omen of success for the tailors in
the total abolition of the sweat-boX
system, an increase of the wage scale
and for a fixed weekly toll standard OF
50 hours 1t is estimated that fully
20. 900 hands are now idle on account Of
the strike in this city and vicinity
Commissioner Charles l.. Phipps, chair
man of the state board of arbitration,
has visited the leaders on both sides OF
the controversy and an effort IS now
being made to induce all to arbitrate.

blessings of heaven that were upon
him.
So with Apostle Cannon. Sic always
acknowledged that the wisdom we so
much admired when we heard his voice
in this hall came from God as did the
other great gifts he possessed. He was
one of the noblemen of God. He was a
nobleman because he did that which
the Lord required at his hands, and
made himself ready to receive all the
choice blessings that were promised
before the stars sang together.
There is no need to mourn. Grief
on an occasion like this may after all
arise little from a selfish feeling.

he was a good man. He was also a

May Gods blessing rest upon you.

H Cannon, during the many years
that he has been bearing the testi-
mony to the truth-both while on mis-
sions to other lands and during his
apostleship-might appropriately have
repeated that immortal prayer of the
Psalmist David: Know me; under
stand my ways
David, in those days, it would seem,
was right in his mind and heart to-
ward God, and he was not afraid to
be searched by him who knoweth all
things. / am told by the father of
him who lies before US that there was
not a single word or single deed that
he ever uttered or performed that ere
ated the least disturbance or occa-
stoned the least unpleasantness with
his father. That was because of his
strict obedience to the counsel of his
parents, and there was nothing at any
time that he would not do for his
father. 1t is not every father that
can say this in reference to his son.
There is more or less, [ think, of neg
lect among the young men of this day
in showing that respect to their par
ents which filial duty demands. Abra-
ham H. Cannon was the embodiment
of this principle.
In the beginning, we are told God
sent a man into the world in order to
prove him and see whether he would
obey the Lord in all things, what
soever he saw fit to command him.
We have reason now to believe that
there have been many great and good
men God has sent into the world, who
have justified themselves before the
Lord in keeping his commandments
to that extent that they were entitled
to receive all the blessings and glory
and happiness that were prepared be-
fore the foundations of the world were
laid for those who should be faithful
to God in their second estate.
Brother Cannon has observed all
these principles. He has studied them
and practiced them from the begin
ming. We, therefore, feel-those who
were acquainted with Brother Can
non-that he is entitled to all the bless
ings that God has promised to those
who would remain faithful unto the
end. This in itself is a mighty con-
ISOLATION. The Apostle Paul, after he
had finished his work and the time
had come for him to suffer .martyrdom

KANSAS CITY, July 26.-L. C. Kroth-
off, who went to Chicago to attend the
conference of gold standard Democrats,
returned to this city. 1t is said in con-
nection with his return. that as soon as

local Democrat, yesterday mailed copies
of the following letter to 200 prominent
gold standard Democrats of this city:
Il do not believe in the unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at the ratio of Is
to 1 when their market value is about 81
to l. l do not believe that the unlimited
coinage of both metals will double the
market value of silver so as to make 10
ounces of silver worth one ounce OF gold.
l do not believe the government can
make 16 ounces of silver worth as much
as 81 ounces of silver by simply saying
so any more than it can make six
inches as long as one foot; by saving SO:
81 do not believe that the interests of
good government can be promoted by
denouncing the course of President
Cleveland and approving the course of
cago riots. I believe that the princi-
pies of the Chicago platform, if
made the law of the land, would
give us an unsound currency with
all its attending evils and would
be subversive of many of the essential
principles of a good and safe govern
ment For the first time in my life [
find 1 cannot vote for the doctrines an
nounced in a (so-called) Democratic
platform without doing violence to my
patriotism. 1 am led to believe that
many other lifelong Democrats hold
views similar to my own as above ex-
pressed and it occurs to me that all such
persons should get together and confer
upon the situation and take some steps
to promote their own views and resist
the errors of the Chicago platform by
some open positive and manly action.

heard them that death is not the
hideous, awfully-to- be-dreaded monster
which it is generally portrayed, and
which ii is usually conceived to be by
the human mind What we call death
was made to appear the greatest
ablessing and the greatest friend, of
mankind so that the listener was
brought to think the sage who wrote
the sentence with which this article
opens, was eminently correct.
Among the audience were the close
relatives, those bound to Abraham H.
Cannon by the nearest and dearest
ties; there were his close associates
in church work, socially and in bust
ness. Over his relatives there was a
sober, subdued air born of faith as
became the solemnity of the occasion,
but there was an absence of that utter
despair and sorrowing as of those who
have no hope, which is often beheld
at funerals, and the truth sought to be
impressed by the speakers was that
there was nothing to mourn for in re-
lation to the deceased apostle, because

= The respect in which Apostle Cannon
was held by the people generally, both
Normons and Gentiles, was well at
tested by the numbers of the most
prominent citizens of all creeds and
conditions who attended his funeral
Many came from distant parts of the
state at great expense and personal
Inconvenience, and still greater num-
bers from the city were present, so
that the immense tabernacle was
filled in every part to its utmost ca
pacity.
The services were exceedingly beau
tiful. and yet simple; in their sim
plicity lay in great measure their
beauty. The speakers were all high
dignitaries in the church, and their
remarks were deservedly eulogistic of
the departed brother. The musical
part was touching and thoroughly in
keeping with the solemnity of the oc-
casion. The members of the first pres
idency except President Cannon, the
father of the deceased. who was seated
with the other members of the family,
occupied their customary places on the
stand. Next below them sat the
apostles, with the seat usually occu-
MED by the deceased left vacant Then
kame the stake presidency, the first

high councillors. The stand, oc-
cupied by the authorities and
partly by the choir, was pro-

During the services the casket con-
tanning the remains of the beloved
dead rested on the sacrament table on
the platform slightly raised from the
floor of the hall, and directly in the
center of the stand occupied by the
church officers.
FLORAL OFFERINGS.
The floral tributes ieaped upon and
