were provided with horns, and tho vocal
and instrumental welcome made a din
greater than ever heard hero before.
Mr.. Sewall was met at the depot plat
form by Hon. f. H. Twitchell, president
of tho city council, Mayor Bibber having
unexpectedly been called away. In re-
spending to a short welcoming address,
Mr.. Sewall said;
"FELLOW CITIZENS. FELLOW REPUBLIC
ANS, FELLOW DEMOCRATS OF BATH-lt is
always a great pleasure to me to come
back TO our beloved state of Maine and a
greater pleasure TO return TO our old city
of Bath.
1T is not fitting and Won do not expect
me at this time to maize q long speech.
We have had a convention, and it is Of
that l would speak to you. 1t was a great
convention, yet it did not seem to me to
lie a partisan one. 1t seemed more like
the uprising Of the people, and they SEEM
ed to be controlled by one idea-an idea
that filled me for years. They knew that
this country was in deep distress, that it
has been in distress for years, ana that
great multitudes believed it. 1 believe
that the great trouble Is with our mono
tary system, and they believe, as l believe
that there Is one remedy. They entertain
no dishonest or dishonorablo idoa. but
they demand that we be carried back TO
the money Of our fathers-to that none
tary system updeB which this government
flourished for so many years. "
Mr.. Sewall was escorted to his homo in
q barouobe decorated with flags. The illu
mination was the finest seen for years
The Sewall mansion and surrounding
grounds, which were thrown open to the
public were brilliantly decorated. Mr.
Sewall here made a short speech, agair
expressing his appreciation Of the recop
tion. Then the procession escorted him tC
the city park, where he received the pub
lie while the band played patriotic piece.

PopuIlsts' NatloaaI Convention.

ST LOUIS, July 16.-It becomes moro
and more evident each day as the day of
the meeting of the national convention
draws near that the party will clash over
the Endorsement Of Bryan for president.
Letters from all parts of the country are
pouring into the national committee head
quarters, some demanding, soiAe donounc-
ing Endorsement of the ticket, and every
thing indicates that there is a decided dif-
ference of opinion as to the best notion to
bo takon at the coming convention. Ii Is
the opinion Of sois Of the Ponulists hero
that the party is near the danger line Of
tho split over the question. They express
the hOpo, however, that some definite plan
of action agreeable 90 all can be decided
upon at the meeting of the national exec
utiye committee which Is to be held hero
next Saturday. Many of the Popullst lead
ers are awaiting the coming of the free
silver senators who holted the Republican
convention. Upon tho course they tako
will depend In a measure the action of the
anti Bryan wing. If the silver Republic
ans oan come out openly for Bryan and
the Chicago platform, the opposition may
not make much OF a fight.
Mr.. Taubeneck still declines TO discuss
tho movement IN favor Of Bryan and Sow
all. His invariable statement is ~ have
nothing for publication.
Ex-Governor Waite Of Colorado, who
will head the delegation from that state,
is out for indorsing the Bryan and Sewail
ticket and will begin work for it as soon
rs he reaches st. Louis
The biggest fight next to the one in
dorsing the candidates will be that over
the platform. A very strong wing of tho
party, headed by Chairman Taubeneck
Sergeant-at-Arms Mcdowell, Chairman
Rezzell of the Missouri state committee
and many of the members of the national
committee, proposes TO make q fight for
the adoption Of tho Omaha platform in
stead Of an Endorsement Of the Chicago
declaration.
Hon. George p. Keeney, general organ
izer of the National Silver party, with head
quarters in New York city, is here to at
tend his party convention, which oonvenos
next woek.
"Thero has been for months, said NJ
Keeney, "a bitter fight in New York bo-
tween the representatives of plutooracy on
one side and the middle classes and daily
wage Uarners on the other. and 1t is going
to be fercer from now until the election.
It has beon my special duty to labor
among the last mentioned classes, anu
nv candid opinion is they will win.
"There is not a state in the east in
which Bryan has not good lighting
chance. and there must bo no hesitancy
in wacing the war there He will be met
by volunteers all along the line"

DIES MONIES, July 16.-Tho Republican
state convention was remarkable in point
Of attendance and interest Among the
distinguished men present were Senators
Allison and Gear and nearly all the Iowa
congressman. Senator Allisons speech
which warmly commended Major MoKin-
Icy and sustained the st. Louis platform,
was the real point Of interest. The SEN
ator spoke with much more than usual
warmth, and when he pointed TO the pic
turo of the Ohio man tho convention went
wild with applause. The platform in
dorses the action Of the st. Louis conven-
tion.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
Electors at largo-R. II. Congor, Des
Moines; Eldred S. James, Clinton; sec
retary Of state, G. l.. Dohson, Des Moines;
auditor, c. O. Mccarthy (ronominatod); /;
attorney general, Milton Ralmoy, Iowa
City (renomlnated); treasurer, John Her
lott Stuart (renominntod); judge Of su-
preme court A. r. Ladd, Sheldon; rail
road commissioner, E. A. Dawson, Wa
terly. Tho nominations were made unani-
nous, and the platform was adopted with
out a dissenting vote. It Is noteworthy
that IN the whole convention there was
not a voice raised against the St. Louis
platform and nominations.

Democratic gold ticket. From n source so
high that it is knownto he authentic the.
information comes to Tho journal that no
will announces publicly in some way that
he favors the nomination Of two men who
will represent the single gold standard as
presidential candidates in the campaign
that Is now ON.
Ia view Of the fact that Secretaries oil
ney, Herbert and Carlisle and Postmaster
General Wilson have stated that they
would not support Bryan and Sewall It
is believed TO be true that they have re-
ceived intlmations from their chief at
Gray Gables to the effect that within the
near future the president Of tho United
States will advocate tho selection OF men
to head an Independent gold Democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Cleveland, however, viii not have
the support that It was anticipated few
days ago he would have. Neither Senator
Hill Of New York nor Senator Smith of
New Jersey will follow Mr. Clevelands
lead, nor will Senator German. IL Is an
open question yet just what Senator Brico
of Ohio will do in this campaign. IL Is al
SO unknown IN Washington Just what po-
sition Mr.. Whitney win take.
That Mr.. Cleveland however, will not
give any aid to Mr.. Bryan, and that ne
will advocate an opposition Democratic

men in the Capital city who have his con
