LINCOLN, Neb, July 25.-While the
public here in Lincoln have been heart
lily discussing the likelihood Of the ac-
ceptance or rejection of Mr.. Bryan of
the Populist nomination or the rejec-
ton of MT Sewall, Mr.. Bryan put in the
day in absolute silence as to his inten-
tions, although the pressure was strong
to secure an expression from him.
During the forenoon, he received
many kilograms from ST. Louis friends
in relation to the perplexing conditions
there arising, and quite a number of
friends in other parts of the country
urging him to stand by his previous
telegran1s
DECLINING THE NOMINATION
unless it carried with it that of Mr..
Sewall.
Shortly after noon, Mr. Bryan entered
a carriage with his law partner, Mr..
Talbot, and drove away from the
Bryan residence. From that time on
until nearly pm. his w,herea bouts
were shrouded in mystery.
All knowledge thereof was denied at
his home and inquiry at Democratic
headquarters and Mr.. Bryan's office
was fruitless.
When asked later where he had con-
cealed himself, Mr.. Bryan replied that
he had not suspected that anyone
might wish to see him.
In reference to the action of the st.
Louis convention he said
when the Populists decided TO nomi-
nate the vice-president, Senator Jones,
chairman of the national Democratic
committee, wired me as follows:
'Populists nominate vice president
! first. If not Sewall, what shall 1 do?
Answer quick. / favor your declina-
ton in that case
81 wired Immediately as follows:
Hon. James K. Jones, st. Louis. !
entirely agree with you. Withdraw my
name if Sewall is not nominated
These dispatches were published in
this mornings papers, and the conven-
ton understood my position.
I'm spite of this, they have seen fit
to nominate me.
Whether | shall accept the nominal
ton or not will depend entirely upon
what conditions are attached to it.
HIS FIRST DESIRE.
my first desire is to aid in securing
the immediate restoration by the
United States of the free and unlimited
4 coinage of gold and silver at the pres
emit legal ratio of 16 TO l. without wait
Z
ing for the aid or consent of any other
! nation.
THE Republican platform. declares
! that the bimetallic system should be
restored, but asserts that we as peo-
/ pie are helpless to secure bimetallism
! for ourselves until foreign nations
! come to our assistance.
I'VE cannot afford to surrender oul
right to legislate for our people upon
every question, and so long as thai
right is disputed no other question car
approach it in Importance.
Il appreciate the desire manifested
at st. Louis to consolidate all the free
silver forces, and regret that they die
not nominate Mr.. Sewall also.
HE stands squarely upon the Chi
cago platform and
HAS DEFENDED OUR CAUSE
against greater opposition than We

the platform with the Bryan message,
but Senator Allen would
NOT PERMIT HIM TO READ IT
to the convention and Stone retired
very much disconnected.
The Popuhst leaders had decided to
go ahead with Bryan's nomination, ir-
respective of the wishes Of the Demo-
cratic managers.
Rumors that such a message was in
the convention aroused Lone Star del
egates to frenzy and stump Ashby
demanded to know if there was a mes
sage from Bryan on the secretary S
table.
Chairman Allen promptly responded
that there was not, but that there was
some talk of a fictitious" message
somewhere; he had not seen it.
Literally, of course, Senator Allen was
correct. He said afterwards in expla-
nation of his action that Bryan was
the overwhelming choice OF the con-
vention, and that the telegram, what
ever it was, was not addressed to the
convention. or to a PopuliSt delegate;
that it was purely
A DEMOCRATIC NEGOTIATION
and something with which a Populist
convention had nothing TO do.
When the call was completed 1T was
found Bryan had 1,042 out Of the l,40O
votes in the convention.
Frank S. Norton, of Chicago, was the
only other candidate.
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, and
General Coxey, of Ohio, were nominal
ed but their names were withdrawn.
Norton received 321 votes and Eugene
v Debs TO- and Donnelly 1.
Norton got the majority or the solid
Of MICHIGAN Missouri
Rhode Island and Wisconsin, and a
respectable portion of the votes of Ala
bama, California, Kentucky, Illinois
and Ohio.
The convention was hastily adjourn
ed after Bryan had been declared the
nominee, and the radicals in the Texas
Arkansas, California, Illinois and
Maine delegations proceeded to organ
lie their 'rump' convention.
After the adjournment, Senator Jones
refused to give out Mr.. Bryan's mes
sage, and he Immediately posted off to
Lincoln to confer with the silver
/ knight of the west regarding the stu
alton.
AS to the future, all is problematical,
/ None of the wiseacres pretend to pre-
/ dict with certainty what the result will
| be-
Whether a fusion can be arranged, or
upon what basis, OF course is specu-
lated upon.
Whether Mr.. Bryan will decline the
nomination is canvassed
The shrewdest of the political OBJ
servers, and those who are most anXi-
Gus for a union of the silver forces,
! can see this result only in the with
drawal of one of the vice-presidential
candidates.
There is, and there has been for some
days, talk of Sewall's voluntary with
drawal, but after the stand Mr.. Bryan
and Senator Jones have taken, this is
not considered probable.
1t is strongly intimated tonight that
Watson may be induced to withdraw in
the interest of such a union.
1t should be said, however, that this
is intimated by those who wish 1t
most.
By comforting upon the national Pop
ulist committee plenary powers, those
who are so earnestly striving for an
actual consolidation of the strength OF
the silver forces. created the machin-
cry by which any sort of terms can
be arranged.
But what will happen the future
alone can disclose.

NEW YORK, July 20 dispatch to
the World from Bath, Me-. says:
In reply to a question as to his at
titude and plans in the new situation
caused by the Populists' nomination
of Bryan and Watson, Mr.. Sewall said
after pause:
We'll, the only statement 1 have to
make in regard to that is that the
action of the ST. Louis convention
does not change by attitude or plans

you have not. then, the slightest
thought of resigning? L suppose 1 may
say you have no such thought?"
'Well, my answer to your first ques-
ton covers that equally well,'' said
Mr.. Sewall.
And you have no further statements
of any nature to make?" was asked.
None whatever" and Mr.. Sewall
smiled a good humored good night.

south.
The Populist platform is, on many
questions, substantially Identical with
the Chicago platform. It goes beyond
the Chicago platform, however, and
endorses some policies which 1 don't
approve of.

action will depend entirely upon the
conditions attached to the nominal
ton

danger the success of binnetalldsm, MOI

Mr. Bryan was seemingly as cheer
full over the situat ton as he was when
he received information of his NOM
ination at Chicago.

Cuba by the steamer Three Friends
have been killed by the Spaniards, ac-
cording to letters received here. They
were landed near Havana A small
band of insurgents was in waiting and
took the arms to the mountains. While
waiting, they were discovered by a.
Spanish column. The filibusterers fed
into the forest and for four days were
without food. On the fifth day, after
some had died of heat and exhaustion,
they met some insurgent scouts who
undertook to guide them to a safe
place. Soon after meeting the scouts
they ran into a, Spanish column and
were forced to scatter Gabriel Offal

KILLED AT GREENWOOD.

Frederick Geyer, d. M. Arthur, Pat
rick Leonard and Charles Howard,
four oystermen, who had been working
at Cambridge, Md, boarded a north
bound Delaware railroad freight train
at Delmar yesterday to return to their
homes in Baltimore. When the train
was nearing Greenwood, in Sussex
county. the Oystermen attempted TO
jump off to escape arrest. All of them
landed safely from the moving train
but Geyer. He made a spring from
the head of the car, but fell against a
coal box, his body rebounding and roll
ing under the wheels of one of the
cars. The mans body was cut in two
by the wheels of the freight car, and
strange to say the car was derailed
causing wreck. The body was picked
up and taken to Harrington, where the
inquest was held. Geyer's companions
were placed under arrest, there being a
suspicion that one of them pushed him
to his death. They were afterwards re-
| leased.

President Cleveland's message is
clear and conservative. 1t is an excel
lent paper and in keeping with his past
communications to Congress, in which
he has always kept an eye single TO the
real interests of this country. His
policy regarding the tariff, finance and
corporations and trusts has not
changed in any. essential particular.
Probably the most disappointing part
of his message is that referring to the
present conditions existing in the
island of Cuba. Friends OF the revo-
lutionists hoped for something more
radical. evidently forgetting that Presi-
dent Cleveland has never been accused
of being a radical in the true sense Of
the word. In short, his reference tC
Cuba means that the United States
will, at the proper time. interfere il
behalf of the struggling Cubans, bu
that such time has not yet, in his opin
ION. arrived.
