pointment of a committee to confer with
the national committee was offered by
Senator Jones of Arkansas and was
found the basis of all the talk. In Of
fering the resolution Senator Jones cX-
planned briefly his purpose in doing 50,
saying he knew nothing of the purpose
of the national committee in regard to
the election of II temporary chairman,
but it would not do to take any chances.
He called attention 10 the fact that all
those present m the Himetallic meeting
were delegates TO the convention, said
they were acting aS Instruments of the
convention and claimed they had II right
TO know what the purposes of the CON
vention were on the subject of temporary
organization.
Representative Bryan of Nebraska and
Judge Powell of Utah followed IN like
strain. The disastrous effect Of allow
ing the gold men tO name the temporary
organization of the Michigan convention
was recalled. There were rwcnty-ninc
delegates present aih only one dissent
ing view. A member of the Missouri
delegation said il might bc construed rs
diScourteOus for thc committee 10 de
mand the right to name the temporary
chairman and suggested that the ma
tional committee should he asked 10 hear
the Ciews of the different delegations be
fore making its selection of II temporary
chairman. This suggestion was brushed
aside as impracticablc.

The State Republican Club of New York
Gives Out an Address.

New York June 30.-At the state Re
publican club the following was given
out tonight:
10 the Republican voters, state of New
York: In the compaign now commenc-
ing we have national candidates and Il
national platform made by the people
and for the people and meeting the APP
prevail of every honest man i'll the Re
publican party. The people secured the
candidates and the platform by asserting
their power and insisting upon having
their righteous way. They were per-
Sistcntly opposed by every politician who
had usurpcd authority and especially ana
most viciOusly by the politician who has
arrogatcd to himself all power, both eX-
ccutivc and legislative, in this state. To
make this campaign consistent and sue
ccssful it seems to us necessary that Ill
our coming state convention we Rcpub-
leans of New York should put the state
in line with the nation and should select
some candidate for governor who will
he no mans man, but will represent
every honest Republican in the state.
TO that end we hereby record our pro-
test against the fraudulent and opprcs-
sivc methods in the party management
which have obtained and especially i'll
the cities of New York. Albany and Syr-
acusc. We demand that no caucuses
and conventions he held, as some have
been before even the time and place or
the state convention are decided. We
advise our friends in these localities
where the will of the voter is sttlcd to
hold separate caucuscs and district CON
| vcntionS of their own. to call upon the
| friends of honesty and honor in Repub-
| licanism to set aside all other avocations

POWERFUL NOTIFICATIONS

New York. July 1.-The Morning Adj

Within few weeks will be commenced

at Fort Wadsworth and Sandy Hook,

to place New York in Il position to defend
herself against foreign foes. ConStruc-
ton will be continued from time to time
until these Notifications. outlined by

and when that it is done the total cost,

600. At Fort Wadsworth new forts
will extend mile south from the present
barracks. extending almost. from Fort
Wadsworth to South Beach. In this
tract of land will he built continuous

The work at Fort La Fayette will not
be so important: only fifteen guns vii

go long way toward protecting New

in this matter. 1t will be apparent from
the beginning that it is to be Il silver
Convention and that this can be demon
strated in no way so clearly as in the
selection of temporary presiding officer.
The silver men have given very little
attention to the question as to who shall
be selected to preside, but spccu lation
turns more freely to Senator Harris OF
Tennessee. II is suggested that the task
may he quite arduOus for one of Senator
Harris advanced age bur his great cX-
periencc aud parliamentary ability, as
wei as his POPULARITY in the party, will
render him formidable candidate if he

The name of Ex-Governor Ilogg OF
Texas is also mentioned in connection
with the selection.

expected to arrive during the forenoon
and to call the committee together soon
after his arrival.
Members of the executive committee
with whom the silver men conferred to-
day assured them that no steps had been
taken looking to the selection of tenn
porary officers. This has had the effect
of causing the members of the himctallC
organization to feel that possibly then
apprehcnsions were untOundod. and II
conclude that probably there will he n,

however, make their call and present 4
statement of the action of the bimctnlIi'
