Grand Island. Neb.. July l5.-The
pOpuIist state convention to select
delegates to the national convention
al ST. Louis convened al II d. m. amid
great enthusiasm. Bryan men were in
the majority On all sides. -Four hun
dred delegates composed the cUnyeu-
ton, not a full representation. Ten
porary Chairman EldOr presided. The
name Of Bryan as the one feasible can
didate for president is heard. The way
Of getting at the nomination or en-
dOrsement is the only bone Of cOnten-
ton. Only enc delegate has made him
self known as opposing Bryan and he
is from Omaha and his name is Dan
Burr. A Bryan. delegation and none
other will be Sent to St. Louis and a
man in order to be elected must be a
pure Bryan man.
Senator Allen in a speech said a maH
must lay aside party prejudice and
vote as an American citizen. not as a
p0pulisj, a democrat, or a republican,
for The republicans would have their
agents at S.. Louis to carry on the No

would be against The election of Bryan

Dlinding rainStOrm 5O0 representative
women of Cleveland came to Canton
this morning, arriving here at 1l:i5.
They were headed by a splendid wo-
mans brass band, and were met by a
committee of Canton m Fortu-
nately as their train reached Canton
the sun broke through the clouds, and
forming in column Of two they march
ed to the Mckinley home. Thousands
of people blocked the streets and surg
ed through the grounds in great con-
fusion. When quiet was restored, Mrs.
Elroy NJ. Avery, in a very eloquent ad-
dess presented Major Mckinley.
Standing on a chair, she spoke. Mrs.
Avery said in part:
I'VE come from Cleveland. Cleveland
the beautiful, Cleveland hat still lives,
the queen city of the lower lakes, he

this great American idea under the
fostering care of which we hope Cleve-
land will gloriously flourish and brave

we come to greet you, not as poll
mothers and sisters. We may o fully
appreciate man-made platforms, but
we better understand the significance
Of current event than some folks give
III credit for. We know that when you
enter at the door of the White House,
peace and comfort will enter at our
doors: that when you receive your her
itage by the decree of the grateful peo-
pie, our husbands and fathers will re-
ceive the fruits of their industry, and
the heart of the wife and the mother
will be made glad.
Among men your name stands as a
synonym for protection to American
industry; it stands for sound money
and reciprocity, for freedom from
ocean to ocean. Among women it
stands for more than that. 1t stands
for protection for the home; it stands
for the right thinking and right liv-
ing; it stands for tenderness to mother
and love to wife; for all that makes the
American home the dearest spot on
earth"
Governor Mckinley, as he mounted
the chair on his veranda after the cere-
mony of waving handkerchiefs and
parasols and hand clippings, said;
Il greatly appreciate this friendly
call from the women Of the city of
Cleveland, and assure you that | do
not u%ndervalue their gracious message
of congratulation which you have so
eloquently delivered.
at is an assurance of the deep inter-
est which you feel, and which should be
felt by every family in the land, in the
public questions of the day and their
rightful settlement at the polls. There
is no limitation to the influence that
may be exerted by women in the I'm

Cleveland, July 15.-All the mem

publican campaign. The committee

the first important question to be taken
up and discussed by the committees
was the location OF the national head

been made from prominent politicians
protesting against the headquarters be-

The committee decided to locate

the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatcdcondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly That is why IL is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. IT is therefore
all important, in order to get its benc-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Sept. 24.-Reviving con-
fidence in general business outlook, re-
fiected in the starting up of Industrial
plants in various sections of the coun-
try and growing ease in money market
and in mercantile discounts continue
to form the text of the advocates of
higher prices in Wall street. There is
evidence Of a Weakening interest by OUT
siders, as indicated by increasing COM
mission orders for stocks and bonds at
advancing prices, and the bears who
are fighting the advance find very lit
tie stock pressing as a rule. There is
also plainly discernible manipulation
by powerful professionals. Business
was somewhat less active to-day and
there was again preponderance Of
trading in a few leading shares, but
the tone was confident throughout and
thus fact induced fair sized covering
by the shorts.
The market proved superior to sever
al influences that would ordinarily
have exerted a depressing effect, in

ENERAL OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Stocks Closed Strong at Net
Gains of l to 2 Per Cent.
RATES OF DISCOUNT ADVANCED
Cotton Opened at Slight Advance
and After an irregular Course
Closed at a Decline of 5
to Points.

New York, Sept 24.-The cotton
market opened quiet and steady at an
advance of 103 points on better early
cables than expected. Immediately
following the first call the improve
ment was lost, but the market again
turned firm and advanced 405 points
from the lowest on rumors Of frost in
South Carolina, Georgia and Texas,
and claims of subsiding receipts for
the near future. The market again
turned weak and sold off 11G 4 points
from the highest price on lac of out
side support and reports that crop had
nowhere been visited by frost and that
some prospect remained for top crop.
The close was easy at a net decline of
5G6 points.
HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S. LETTER.
New York, Sept. 24.-(SpeciaD 1.-The
market was disappointed at the COM
parative steadiness of Liverpool in face
of the weakness of American markets
yesterday, but there does not appear
to be enough confidence in the imme-
date future of prices to bring about
substantial advance. Merchants and
traders appear to be waiting for the
effect of the present large movements
upon the market. Europe also is wait
ing for lower market which spinners
believe must result from the pressure
of cotton during the next 80 days. They
feel confident that prices cannot be
sustained and that they will be able
to secure their supply on much lower
basis than at present, which they be-
lieve so abnormally high, and they re-
gard present crop ideas as absurd in
face of the movement. Under the cir
cumstances we regard the markets as
remarkably steady and ascribe the lack
of pressure to the advices from Amer
lean spinners who find an improvement
in trade resulting in the better feeling
over the political situation. The mar
ket has declined from the lack of de-
mand to absorb the offerings of cotton
from the South. This feature has
created a buIlish feeling in the trade.
