Nominated by the New Hampshire
Republican Convention.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 3. - The State
Republican convention was called to order
here to-day by Chairman Jewett. Per-
manent organization was Immediately eff
fected by the selection of H. B. Quinby as
chairman. George a. Ramsdel, of
Nashau, was nominated for Governor by
reclamation. After the selection of an
electoral ticket the report of the commit
tee on platform was adopted. The resolu-
lions Endorsed the st. Louis platform thus:
because it stands for honest money, of
which every dollar at all times shall be
as good as gold; because it stands for
protection and reciprocity; because it
stands for vigorous and dignified for
eign policy and for the protection of Amer
lean citizens and American property every
where at any cost; because 1t stands for
generous recognition of the veterans of the
Union army and for reforms in the admin
istration of the pension laws; because it
stands for a strict enforcement of our i'm
migrat ion laws and because it stands for
all wise and legitimate efforts to lessen
and prevent the evils of intemperance, and
on this subject is consistent with the set
tied legislative policy of the Republican
party of this State.
The Chicago Democratic platform is de-
nounced and the people are congratulated
upon the nomination of Mckinley and Ho-
bart TO whom loyalty is pledged The con-
yention, which was short and very harmo-

FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
Democrats and Populists Finally |
Agree n Plan.

Agree Plan.
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 3.-After nearly an
all-night session the State central commit
tees of the Democratic and Populist parties
without apparent friction, practically
agreed upon the details of the plan for
fusion electoral and State tickets. This
includes the Endorsement by the Democrats
of the State ticket nominated by the Popu-
lists at Hastings on Aug. 8, the acceptance
by the Populists of Democratic candidate
for Attorney-general to fill the vacancy
on the Hastings ticket and selection of four
Populist electors, who will be nominated by
the Democrats. This agreement was made
by the Democratic State central committee
subject to ratification by the State conven-
ton. Both committees named conference
committees. The Democratic State conven-
ton meets in this city tomorrow forenoon
and the leaders prominent in last nights
council assert that the fusion deal will be
unanimously advocated. This agreement
leaves but little for the Democrats to fight
over. The only place the State ticket
in sight is that of Attorney-gene-al, while
the places on the electoral ticket neces-
sar1ly will be limited to four. For the NOM
nation of Attorney-general there three
contestants on the ground, G.. J. Smith of
Omaha; III. L. Travis, of PIattsburg, and
Edward Fallon, of Falls City. 1t seems
quite generally conceded that the Omaha
man Will get the place.

SPEECH BY MR.. ALLISON
IOyyA'S SENATOR OPENS THE CAM
PAIGN IN HIS OWN STATE.
He Discusses the Financial Question
and Ventilates Some of Bry-
ans Heresies.

DIES MONIES. Ia, Sept. S.-The Repub
lican campaign was opened here to-day, the
principal speaker being Senator Allison. He
held the undivided attention for two hours
of an immense audience. The Senator be-
gan at the beginning of the silver question
and traced it's rise until to-day it has be-
come an issue of the most Importance to
the people. He sketched hastily the use of
the different ratios and then dwelt at con-
siderable length the worldwide move
ment. beginning with the action of the
German empire, early in the seventies. He
maintained that the act of Congress
passed in 1873 had practically nothing to
do with the decline in silver, but that such
decline was due to causes beyond our con-
troll. He discussed the effect of the decline
of silver on the prices of farm products.
He said that on the farms of the country
the decline In products had not been as
large commonly supposed. The de-
cline of wheat in London was largely due
to the decline of cost of transportation be-
tween the farms and the markets. Taking
up the question of wages and the prices
of necessities, he showed by the use of
statistics that there had been a
gradual increase in wages and
gradual increase IN the purchas-
ing power of such wages until in 1892 a
days labor would buy more of the necess-
ties and luxuries of life than at any other
time in our national history. The people
had prospered under the gold standard be-
cause it had made a stable foundation for
business and for wages. He showed also
that there had been a gradual and almost
marvellous increase in wealth, and that
wealth had been equitably distributed all
things being considered.
His argument made to show that the
proposition of free coinage would result in
a fluctuating and debaSed standard of
money, carrying in It's pathway distresSeS
and disaster to every interest and to every
restored, if they ever were, upon this silver
standard. it would be a fuctuating value
based upon the premium on gold from day
to day and Erom time to time. and 1T there
terfering with all the business of the coun-
try, and that the remedies proposed
by Mr. Bryan and his followers
were sham remedies or false remedies,
which would not only lead us INTO
interminable trouble for the present, but
into uncertainty for the future, while the
Republican party, on the other hand, pro-
posed the maintenance of the double-Stand-
ard money which has existed in our coun-
try since 1879, and which has largely con-
tributed to our prosperity between 1879 and
1882. That Being DONE confidence would be
restored credit would be re-eStablished, and
those having money to use would bring it
from its hiding places and we would again
enter upon career OF prosperity.
The parade tonight was surprise TO the
managers. Many prominent Democrats
came out and joined in the march for the
gold-standard money; The procession was
the streets were packed with thousands or
people.

LETTER FROM SEWALL.
What the POpOcratic Tail Is Alleged
to Have Said to the Head.

CHICAGO. Sept. 3.-Chairman Jones' of
the Democratic national committee, has
made public a letter to William J. Bryan
from Arthur SewalL apparently dated July
% at which time the PoDulist convention
was in session. The letter which is excit-
ing a great deal of comment, reads as fol-
lows:
MY Dear Mr. Bryan-In view of the ac.
ton of the ST Louis convention to-day,
/ cannot refrain from giving you my
thoughts on the situation. My advices are
that you have been nominated as candidate
for President and Mr.. Watson for Vice
President l also learn through press dis
patches that you somewhat undecided
whether you ought to accept or decline
Now, 1 desire TO say to you, with the ut
most frankness and good feeling. that you
must not allow any personal consideration
for me to influence you in your action /
desire you will do just what you believe
is best for the success of the head of our
ticket. The principles we are nghting for
are so paramount to any personal consid-
erations that the latter should not have
any weight or influence whatever with your
action l cannot for d moment allow N.Y.
self to be a factor in any action on YOUR
part that would in the slightest degree haz-
ard an electoral vote for you. With kind
regards to Mrs. Bryan. believe me- your
sincere friend, ARTHUR SEWALL."
The Democratic managers at headquar.
ters insisted the letter had no further sig
nificance than that Mr.. Bryan would con-
sent to receive a formal notification from
the PopuilSt party III the near future, and
the publication was to forestall all rumors
as to the attitude of Mr.. Sewall toward the
ceremony.
Accompanying the letter from Sewan to
Bryan is an official statement to the effect
that several days ago Chairman Jones
wrote a letter 10 Mr.. SewaH stating TO
him that many Democrats throughout the
country and especially throughout the
West, were Directing to fusion with the
PODIIliSfS electoral tickets
son that they did not wish to be disloyal to
Mr.. SeWalI. In reply to Chairman Jones
Mr. Sewall forwarded the foregoing COPY
of a letter written to Mr.. Bryan.
Chairman Jones later dictated the fol-
lowing explanation as to how the letter
came to be published at this time: Several
days ago Chairman Jones wrote a letter to
Mr.. Sewall, stating 10 him that many Dem
ocrats throughout the country, aid espe-
cially throughout the West were Directing

I,opaon Press Comment.

LONDON, Sept. Am editorial in the
Times this morning discussing the political
situation in the United States in connection
with the indianapolis convention says that
for President Cleveland to present himself
as a stalking horse to secure Mr.. McKin-
Ieys return is rather more than could be
expected from a politician in the American
sense of the word. 1.-The American elect
ors,' says the Times, with the instinct
for taking aside will probably ignore the
Palmer ticket as something too refined and
sublimated for everyday life The outcome
of the contest is, therefore, as doubt
full as ever Without understanding the
evils of protection regime, are
compelled to confess that they would be
insignificant compared with free-silver
regime. Looking to the indecisive attitude
of the Republican leaders on the question,
we shall be agreeably surprised if Mr.. Nc
Kinley obtains such majority as will give
a permanent check to the free-Si1ver move
ment. 1t is more likely that Mr. Bryan
will receive so large a share of the popular
vote as to encourage the SilVeriteS and
Populists to issue the propaganda with
such increasing energy that it would be
rash to predict the future. 1t is evident
that political parties and principles in the
United States are in a state of solution
detrimental both to the material interests
of the United States and their commercial
rela tons with Great Britain.
The Daily News, in an editorial on the
Indianapolis convention, expresses the wish
that there was the slightest chance for Gen
eral Palmer to be elected. But, if he
keeps Mr.. Bryan out OF the White House.
the Daily News adds. he will have fulfilled
the purpose of the Democratic mug
