Terry was wild, too but was given fine support. The feature of the game was the wonderful batting of Delhanty Out of five times at bat he made single and four home runs. His batting scored six runs. Thompson made a brilliant catch against the fence. Emslie's work was bad, both sides suf- fering. Attendance, 1O00 Score:

The sympathy of all the New York players is with Tebeau, and even Hurst said Tebeau ought to have a hearing. Sullivan was a puzzle that the Spiders could not solve, while Cuppy was pounded for five hits in the fourth inning, which won New York the game With one Spider out in the last half of the sixth inning Hurst called the game on account of rain, which did not cease and the game revert ed to the fifth inning.

Free Coinage Sweeping Through the
East

WASHINGTON, July 81. According to
reports received in Washington, the
silver movement is invading the Eastern
States by leaps and bounds. In Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York and New England the farmers and
factory operatives are taking to silver
as eagerly as the people of the West.
Mr.. Lawrence Gardiner, the Secre-
tary of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, receives hundreds of letters
daily from old Republicans in Eastern
States asking for campaign literature.
They all announce themselves converts
to free coinage. The New York Herald
has sent correspondents to Northern
New York state to lock into the
situation. They report that all the
Democrats and about half of the
Republicans favor free coinage.
Senator Faulkner, Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee,
has returned to the city and resumes
his desk at committee headquarters
today. Representative Babcock, Chair
man of the Republican Congressional
Committee, has gone to New York to
be absent several days.
1.-The free silver sentiment is sweep
ing through the East like tidal wave,
said Senator Faulkner this afternoon
"Ihear of its rapid advance all through
the Eastern and New England States

The Democratic Congressional Cam
palgn.

Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
ional Campaign Committee, believes
that the Democrats can capture the
House this year and is determined that
it shall not be the fault of the committee
if they do not. He says: 1.-The
province of this committee will be to
aid the election of any candidate for
Congress upon the regular Democrat
ticket. We have nothing whatever to
do with the nominations for Congress,
and will take no part in the contests for
them. After the candidates are
selected, however, it will be our
business, and we will see to it that all
the aid possible is given for the election
of those candidates. We will take it
for granted that the Democrats of each
district know what they are about, and
we will not question their selection. 1t
will make no difference to us what the
platform may be upon which the
candidates are selected. Senator
Faulkner has no doubts about the
election of Bryan and Sewall. nor about
their carrying his own state, OF which
he said: II think West Virginia will
be carried by free silver. L believe
that the sentiment throughout the state
is overwhelmingly in favor of it. In
my own county l know personally of
Republican votes that we will get with
our platform. / think the same con
dition exists in other counties in the
state. We hold our state convention
August 18th and will nominate state
ticket upon y silver basis throughout,
Everyone OF our Congressional
will also be for silver.

ST. LOUIS, Mo July 23.-The Pop
ulists began assembling at the conven
ton hall shortly after 9 o clock. The
delegates, with coats slung over their
arms, stood about in the sultry atmos
phere discussing the situation, the
advisability of endorsing Bryan, planks
of the platform and kindred topics.
The middle of the readers could be
heard vociforating everywhere j. J.
Crandall, of Camden n. j., was
distributing circulars in favor of the
ratification of the platform OF the new
born Democracy, lately christened at
Chicago.
At 1905 A. M, Senator Butler
appeared on the platform. The attend
ance in the galleries, as on yesterday,
was very thin. Not more than 500
people were in the balconies. Five
minutes later Chairman Butler called
the convention to order.
The action of the middle of the road
steering committee last night in first
Offering their support to Ignatius
Donnelly, of Minnesota, for permanent
chairman and then selecting j. +.
Campion of Maine, who is bitterly
opposed to Sewall, has caused trouble.
Quite a large number of delegates have
assured Donnelly they intend to support
him, but the steering committee
remains firm in its intention to stand by
Campion. This will cause a further
division in the already unorganized
ranks of the middle of the road men
and the Bryan adherents will doubtless
be able to select their man for
permanent chairman.
The middle of the readers are also
talking about other candidates in the
hope of compromise of some kind.
The Bryan men seem very much
inclined to select Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, for chairman.
ONE SET OF ELECTORS.
Mr.. Taubeneck, chairman of the
national committee of the People s
Party, sent the following dispatch last
night to W. r. Hearst, proprietor of
the New York Journal:
The convention was praised by its
friends who wish to preserve the
Populist party for future use. Itplain-
" indicates what the result will be.
There will be no unconditional
surrender to the Democratic party or its
candidates The convention will adopt
a Populist platform, nominate ticket
and pass resolution to combine with
the Democrats and all friends of silver
on one set of electors.
"(Signed), H. E. TAUBENEcK,
Chairman National Committee.
An Arkansas member of the commit
tee on credentials announced the com
mittee would not be able to report
before o. clock, and moved to take a
recess till that time, but it was de-
feated. Later it was announced the
committee could not report before 3
0 clock, and after some wrangling a
motion to take a recess until that time
was adopted.
The vote in committee for permanent
chairman was: Allen, 80; Butler, 5
Campion, IA. The last named was the
candidate of the middle of the readers.
