Observation-Disclosures

CLEVELAND. Ohio. August 14.-The Nc
Kinley managers here have watched the
trip of Candidate Bryan across the country
with great interest. They have been So
lacing themselves with the New York news
paper editorials on the Bryan notific alton
speech. and say they are much gratified
with the comments Of the eastern editors.
AS result Of Mr.. Bryan's trip 1t is under
stood that Maj. Mckinley will disregard
the advice of Chairman Hanna and will
take the stump himself. The republican
candidate has confidence in his own prowess
as q campaigrer. He does not propose to
allow his experience to be wasted in this,
the greatest epoch in his political career.
He will keep in the closest communication
with his marshals, and there Is strong
ground for the belief that before the cam
paign closes the country will see Mckinley
in the field in person, in spite of the fact
that he has continually declared that he
would not take the stump. 1t is known that
this has been the result Of Chairman
Hanna's and not of Maj Mckinley's judg-
ment, and the inclination to be up and do
ing has been very strong with the republl-
can candidate for some time.

He regards the workirgmen his "old
guard" and 1t is the workingmen that he
las all the time relied upon to win this
campaign. Efforts arc now under way to
mobilize and organize this vote on a scale
that has never been attempted. One by
one the labor leaders who can in any way
be enlisted in the republican cause are to
be called into conference with the republ
can candidate.

To Take No Chances.
All this shows the republican managers
propose to take no chances in this cam
assured of unlimited financial support in
the campaign. That there will be opportu-
nifty to spend it there is every reason to be-
lieve. Executive Committeeman W. T. Dur
bin Of Indiana is already after funds. He
went to Canton yesterday to consult Nc
Kinley on the situation in that state, where
the democratic tide is reported to be rising
The attention Of the western branch of the

Exciting Scene in Convention.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RALEIGH. N. c., August 14.-At last
nights session Of populist state convention
there were exciting conflicts Of debate be-
tween Senator Butler and Representative
Skinner, permanent chairman. This morn
ing in the closing hours Of the session
there was q very exciting passage at arms
precipitated by SINNERS attacking the
nominees as creatures Of Butler and declar-
ing Buffers one-man power must cease.
Butler, replying, said he would not sub
nit to imputations on his integrity and that
he was ready to compare characters and
epithets with any man in the convention.
He declared he would not hear populists
slandered.
Skinner replied that Butler was an un-
safe leader and party wrecker and had
made the populist party a harlot at st.
Louis and in North Carolina.
There were continued cries for Butler
and the state committee was elected by
reclamation. Strange to say, upon Skin
ner's own motion, Halayer was made its
chairman, and vote of thanks was unan-
imously rendered Butler. Butler said
goodbye as state chairman, and stated
that next week he would go to Washington
to conduct the national campaign.
Third Ticket in Nebraska Unlikely.
LINCOLN, Neb, August 14.-Whatever
the gold standard democrats will do at In
dianapolis, 1t seems that the state of
Nebraska will not put up any gold stand
ard electors. 1t is well known that Tobias
Castor, N. S. Harwood, A. ]. Sawyer and
John A. E. Ames of Lincoln, D. T. Cook
of Beatrice and other gold standard men
are opposed to any such move. They con-
tend that such action would help Bryan
more than Mckinley. Today Mr.. Castor
said: II am not aware what Chairman
Martin proposes doing. There has been no
meeting called Of the state COMMITTEES. and
1 don't know when there will be- I don't
know whether democratic electors viii be
put up in this state. For my part, am
opposed to it. In other states, further east
and south. such action will be a good thing
for the gold standard"
