Bryan Believes That Each Day
Brings Silver Converts.
WEEPING WATER, Neb., Sept. IL
Mr.. Bryan made a brief speech from
the rear platform of the train. He
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen don't know
whether L shall return to Nebraska
again until just before the election or
not, but L go away from Nebraska
feeling that 1t is not necessary for me
to stay here. (Cheers.) I want to say
to you, my friends, that from the re-
ports which 1 have been receiving
do rot believe there is a single county
in the state which the Republicans will
carry this fall great cheering), and
more than that, every day finds our
cause stronger throughout the Union
than it was the day before. Cheers,
and a vOice-"Hurrah for tomorrow
great cheering and laughter.) Every
day finds persons who are declaring for
free coinage, and L think 1 am safe in
saying that you will not find, among
all your acquaintance one who, one
month ago were in favor of free COIN
age at 16 to 1, and able to give a rea-
son for it, who has changed his mind
Cheers; but you cannot find one man
who was for free coinage who is think
ing h1mSeII into the SOlQ SldHudTu
idea. loud cheering.) The reason for
that is this, that the people are study
ing the money question as they never
studied it before, and a. study of the
money question leads TO an under
standing Of it, and when men under
stand it there are just d few people
who Will be for the gold standard
(Cheers) And they will be the ones
who will be pecuniarily interested in
having dollars get bigger all the time,
while the masses of the people will be
determined that no power on earth
shall fasten the gold standard upon
the American people. Great cheering2
a little over month ago, L went into
what I then called the 'enemy's coun-
try but 1 found down there just as
much enthusiasm as there is in Ne
braska. Great cheering.) Today some
parts of the country are more friendly
than others, but there is no 'enemy's
country" loud cheers.)
Mr.. Bryan's first stop after leaving
Lincoln was at Eagle, where small
crowd of people, a drum corps and a
bonfire composed the elements OF MS
reception
Elmwood, another small place, turned
out with torches and Wabash added
red fire to smoky fambeaus.

World-Herald:
PASTE THIS IN YOIIp lat

The following is from an editor
ial in the London Financial News
(goldbug):
There is a plain moral in the re-
mark that if the United States
would venture to cut herself adrift
from Europe and take outright to
silver she would have all America.
and Asia at her back, and would
command the markets of both con-
tinents The barrier Of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of
a custom house. The bond of sill
yer would be stronger than any
bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about it
that if the United States were to
adopt silver basis tomorrow Brit
ish trade would be ruined before
the year was out. Every American
industry would be protected, not
only at home, but at every other
market. OF course, the states would
suffer to a certain extent through
having to pay their obligations
abroad in gold; but the loss on ex-
change under this head would be a
mere drop in the bucket compared
with the profits to be reaped from
LA6 IldIhSIS VI OOuIu AIDeTlcd anu
Asia, to say nothing of Europe.
The marvel is that the United
States has not long ago seized the
opportunity, and but for the belief
that the way of England is neces-
sarily the way to commercial sue
cess and prosperity, undoubtedly
it would have been done long ago.
Now, Americans are awakening to
the fact that 80 long as they mar
row their ambition to becoming a.
larger England" they cannot beat
US. 1t has been a piece of luck that
it has never occurred to the Ameri-
cans to scoop us out of the worlds
markets by going on a silver basis,
and it might serve US right if, ir-
ritated by the contemptuous apathy
of our government to the gravity
of the silver problem, the Aneri-
cans retaliate by freezing out gold.
1t could easily be done.-Omaha

REACHED AN AGREEMENT.
Popu1ists Are Left Entirely Ont of
the Conference at Denver

Populists Are Left Entirely Ont of
the Conference at Denver.
DENVER, Sept. 1.-THE fusion con-
ference this evening reached an agree
menG apportioning the state Offices
among the Democrats, Silver Republi-
cans and National Silver party, the
governor going to the Democrats. The
PopuIists are entirely out of the con-
ference. The silver party convention
received the report from its commit
tee, tabled 1T and discharged the com
mittee. The Populists in Pueblo have
wired to the silver party asking fusion
with them only. The fusion conference
meets again at 10 o'clock. The apDor-
tionment as arranged for in the report
gave the governor and attorney general
to the Democrats, secretary of state
and superintendent Of public instruc-
ton to the silver party, and the remain
ing offices to the Republicans. 1t is
probable now that there will be two
fusion tickets, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis on the one and Popu1ists and
silver party on the other. The Bryan
and Sewall electors yet remain the
same, the Populists in Pueblo having
voted against endorsing Watson.
The national silver convention was
thrown into an uproar after the fusion
report was disposed Of by an attack
on j. N. Stevens, of the national COM
nittee. Smith accused Stevens of hav-
ing traded him off in order to advance
Stevens chance for congress- Mr..
Stevens made an indignant reply,
roasting Smith severely. Stevens then
took his hat and left the convention.

Especial to The Herald.)
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 11.-Attor-
ney General Fowler rendered an opin-
ion today upon the question of holding
an election for district judge this year
in the Fourth judicial district of the
state, comprised of Crook, Weston,
Sheridan and Johnston counties. The
district was created in 1892, as an addi-
tional judicial district to those created
by the state constitution. The pres
ent judge, w. S. Metz, was elected in
1894. He claims that his term is for
six years while number of attorneys
OF the state hold that his term is for
two years, and that an election should
be held in the district for his successor
this fall The Encouragement sus-
tains Judge Metz's opinion, and de-
clares that his term of office viii not
expire until Jan. l, 1901. The state Off
GERS will accept his opinion as conclu-
sive. and will not call an election in
the district this year.

Special to The Herald,

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 1L-Walter
Greer Campbell, of Chicago, with
whom Cheyenne citizens have been ne
got9ating for the location of an cleo
trical smelter in this city, is said to
be wanted by the Chicago police for
extensive swindling operations, and
has fled from the city to evade arrest.
Campbell contracted with business
mems committee here to locate a
smelling plant in this city, for. which
he was to be paid $4,000 Fifteen
hundred dollars was to be paid upon
the location of the plant, and a salts
factory test made of IT'S capacity. The
money was raised and has been held
since Aug. l, awaiting the arrival of
the plant which was to be shipped i'm
mediately. Nothing has been heard
from Campbell for a month, and his
exposure in Chicago does not cause
much surprise here, where there has
always been considerable doubt as TO
-his-re4;hbiIity.

pear in a Frisco Court.

SAN FRANCISCO Sept. 1.-For the first
time since the commencement of the liti-
cation over their fathers estate, Mrs.
Oelrichs and Virginia Fair, her sister,
made their appearance in court today,
having come on from New York to have
their dispositions taken. The first pro-
ceeding was the withdrawal of the mo-
ton of Mr.. Marc Livingston, to strike out
the answer of Mrs. OelTichS and her sister
to their brothers contest of the pencil,
or Craven, will Attorney Wheeler, one
Of the representatives of the Fair
daughters, asked leave to file an amend
ment TO the answer of Mrs. Oerichs and
Miss Fair to their brothers contest. He
stated that this answer denied Charles L.
Fairs right to contest the pencil will on
the ground that he was not a party in
interest. This proposed amendment would
seem to indicate that the ladies have de-
cided to fight their brother and favor the
Craven viii once more, but the attorneys
decline to acknowledge that such is the
case. All matters in the case were finally
postponed until October 5.
