amount to much unless the president is

ceeded, the convention quieted down
and Mr.. Pence, after the first burst of
disapproval, was interrupted only by

BELMONT FOR IT.
He Is I'm Favor OF Real Democratic
Ticket.


NEW YORK, July 24.-Perry Belmont is
ued formal report today to his constituents,
explaining his action at Chicago in resisting
the adoption of the free coinage plank in the
Democratic platform. He says: The pro-
claimed policy and purpose of the majority
were believed by him to be "in disregard of
the traditions OF the national Democracy, as
well as OF the frequently expressed and we'll
known ideas of our own New York Democ-
racy."
Il shall not presume to suggest to any
one how he should exercise his privilege of
voting" says Mr. Belmont. my own con-
clusion is definite and fixed. 1t is to vote the
electoral ticket, which / hope will be in the
field. standing for Democratic candidate for
president in whose un1inching courage and
loyalty to the gold unit of value as pre-
scribed by the law of 1873, and to Demo-
cratic principles can have the most i'm
plicit confidence.
He points out that the next legislature in
this state will elect senator, and suggests
that the same conditions apply to the cleo
tion of members of the legislature as con-
gressmen and president.

BRYAN STANDS PAT.
He VIII Not Accept without Mr..
SewaII.

ST. LOUIS, July A.-The Bryan leaders Of
the convention consulted all the evening con-
cerning the kilograms which have passed be-
tween Candidate Bryan and Chairman Jones, Of
the Democratic national committee and which
are in the possession Of Tom Patterson and
are to be used when the Bryan leaders deem
best Many Bryan men have been informed
OF the substance of the dispatches and have
been much disturbed about them, as they fear
that Bryan's determination not to accept the
nomination unless Sewall is also nominated
Will not be reconsidered. The reason given by
those who urged that the kilograms be not
read tonight was that the temper of the dele
gates was such that an announcement of that
kind might result in splitting the convention.
oefore anything could be done to stay the
storm which would surely follow. 1t was said
by one OF the silver leaders that the kilograms
would be made public some time, but it was
considered the wiser policy not to give them
out previous to the selection of candidate for
vice president, as it would have the appear
ance OF attempting to force upon the conven-
tion candidate for vice president to whom
the majority were evidently very much OPP
posed.

The social which had been snnoun- ced but one day prior to its taking place, the name of which, too, was suggestive of much that would tickle the palate of the hungry and at the same time no: be very heavy drain on the purse, came of last night as per
 programme, and was libei ally patron ized by our neighbors from surrounG- ing towns and the country as we'll ss by our own home folks.
 The ladies who set up the "saiads," are experts in culinary art, and the
 appreciation of their efforts was evi- dsnced by the way the people con-
 stunned the products of thslr hands. The lobster esls6, baked chicken and
 boiled ham was done to the taste of
 the most eIscting, while the coffee wac
 of asup.rior quality, beside there was all the other little delicacies on the
 side which go to make up e fist cIsss sp-esd.
 While everybody else was busy with
 supper, Frank Morino was busy selling
 chances in fine cake to be drawn later
