BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 25. 1s96.-The

"a finish. The outlook favors the nominal

FRBM0NTs HEAR ABOUT CUBA.
The Club VIII Take Part in Tonightss
Parade.

The members of the Fremont Club of
the Heights listened to an interesting
talk last night from Mr.. S. P. C. Hem
bricks, ex-United States Consul to Car
denas, Cuba. Mr.. Hendricks confined his
talk chiefly to the condition of Cuba, its
manners and customs, and its people.
The only portion of his address which
touched upon politics at all was when he
said that during the last three years the
exports of the United States to that coun-
try had diminished very much indeed
from what they were during the four
years of Harrison's administration.
The rest of his talk mostly concerned
the Americans imprisoned in Spanish
prisons on the island, and the cruelty in
f1icted upon the Cubans at the hands of
the Spanish.
Previous to Mr.. Hendricks speech the
club decided to march in body tonight
to the Five Corners, headed by the bat
talon in uniform, and there meet the
other Republican clubs and escort them
to Pohlmann's Hall, where the big Re-
publican mass meeting is to be held.

HopeIessly for Governor

WATERTowN, N. Y, Sept. 25, 1885,
D. G. Griffin arrived at his home here
this morning. He learned of his nomina-
ton for Governor while breakfasting at
Richland. He is receiving congratulations
from Republicans and assurances of sup
port from members of both factions of the
Democratic party today To the reporter
of the United-Associated Presses he said:
You may say for me that I consider
the nomination a high honor. that shall
accept it, and with equal sincerity saw
also that my preference was that the
nomination should have been given to
some one else. When a man has become
the candidate of his party for an inn
portant office there are plenty of oppor-
tunities for him to express his views
after mature consideration and delibera-
tion is at least due the party by which
he has been nominated
However, think there is little chance
of misapprehension of my views on eur
rent public events and / need hardly say
that adhere to the principles Of the IN

BUT DON'T STOP FIGHTING.
Republican Campaign Leaders Have
the News:-Bryan Is Reaten.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25, 1Ss6.-While the
campaign leaders at Republican National
Headquarters1d do not want the impression
to get among the party workers that the
political fight is practically won, for fear
of relaxation of effort there is a set
tied conviction in the minds of such old
eampaigners as Payne, Durbin, Cummins
and Hahn that if the people went to the
polls today Mr.. Bryan would be beaten
by an immense vote. These leaders talked
to reporter for the United Associated
Presses in a tone of supreme confidence
and as if load Of anxiety and doubt had
been lifted from their shoulders by the

POOR LITTLE COL. PRICE.
Whining Because the Naughty Rail-
way Employees Were Rude.

Colonel Price, of the New Jersey Demo-
cratic State Committee, called last even
ing upon Mayor Pagan of Hoboken to
complain of the treatment Mr.. Bryan
had been subjected to at the hands OF
the D. L. & W. R. R. during the candi-
dates journey from Manunka Chunk to
Hoboken on Tuesday. Colonel Price
stated that at various places along the
route the engineer of the train would
start up just as Mr.. Bryan was about
to speak and take the candidate away
from his audience. At once place an en-
gine was run up to Mr.. Bryan's car with
a picture of Mckinley in the headlight
Various other petty devices and tricks
were practised, it is said, to annoy and
discomfort Mr.. Bryan.
An effort was made to see Mayor
Pagan this morning, but he was not in
his office nor at the iron works. 1t is
understood, however that the Mayor ex-
pressed his sympathy with Mr.. Bryan
and his mitigation at the conduct of the
railroad employees. The Mayor, it is said,
declared the thing an outrage

A POPJLIsT CONGRESS-.
Senator Butler Has Figured Out a |
Majority to His Own SatIsfaction.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25, S96.-Chair-
man Marion Butler of the Populist Com
mittee inclines to the opinion that the
Populists may be able to control the
next Congress. He says he has gone over
the situation in Congressional districts
since fusion on the electoral ticket wa
assured in nearly all the important States,
and estimates that there are between
forty and fifty of these districts where
there is ground for confidence, and that
out of this number the Populists should
elect twenty-five or thirty members. The
Populists in the present Congress are
nine. Chairman Butler also thinks that
out of something like thirty States elect
ing Senators this winter the Populists
will gain one or two.
Senator Butler starts off with his State
of North Carolina. which he thinks will
send five Populists to the next House
He counts on Nebraska to elect about
the same number, Kansas following with
five or six. Indiana is looked upon as
safe for one Populist member, with pos
sibly two or three, and Chairman Butler
thinks Michigan will elect at least two of
his faith. like number is hoped for
from Kentucky, while in Minnesota three
more Populists are expected. Wisconsin
is figured as doubtful. but Chairman But
Ter thinks there is a chance in three
Tennessee districts California is looked
to to swell the list by four more. and
Washington State by one more. The Pop
ulists have asked for two candidates on
the fusion ticket in Missouri and be-
Nefe lney are assured OIL one POpui1St
member from Colorado. The candidate
the fusionists have agreed upon in Idaho
is Populist and hope has not left the
managers of securing representative or
so in Texas.
In the selection of Senators the Popu-
lists National Committee expects to have
work to do long after the Pres Dental
campaign is closed. They are reckoning
that the Legislatures in several States
will be so divided between the three par
ties that neither will have majority.
North Carolina Is one of the States that
Mr.. Butler cites where a deadlock seems
certain unless compromise can be eff
fected. He says the Populists may secure
Senator from California to succeed
Senator Perkins, If that State should give
Bryan a good majority this fall Idaho
is another State that he thinks will have
Populist Senator. Kansas, from the
Populist standpoint, is expected to return
Senator Peffer and then there are North
Dakota and other Western States, which,
admitting the claims for Bryan's eec-
tion. furnish further opportunity for con-
lecture

CHICAGO. July 3.-Not since 1860,
when the Democratic party met in
convention at Charleston and split on
the subject Of slavery, has such an
irreconcilable difference of opinion
existed on any great question at issue,
as now confronts the delegates who are
assembling for the Democratic con-
vention. The situation which the Dem
ccrats faced then has it's analogies in
the one which they confront to-day.
The northern Democracy, declaring for
squatter sovereignty, late at Baltimore,
nominated Stephen A. Douglass, while
the, seeding southern delegates, de-
claring for the existence Of slavery in
the territories under fedeal law. named

To-day Democracy, from the Allie

the Potomac south to the Gulf, except
for the break in Wisconsin, Michigan

ern states represented at the meeting
demonstrated this effectively. For the
East, I think that there would be a
laxness in the campaign which would
mean defeat. for one would not dare
to go before the farmers Of my state
and campaign on a silver platform
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Sheehan said: "If we
are to believe those we heard speak to-
night, there is no earthly chance Of
electing silver candidate, especially
Mr.. Bland. Nor is Mr.. Teller any bet
ter, for good Democrats would not be-
ieve that it was their duty to vote for
man who has always been a Re-
publican"
William c. Whitney: "All / can say
is that between now and Wednesday
next we will do heroic work with the
delegations. When we have finished,
we will be able to tell by their answers
just what move we had better make"
Comptroller Eckels said that every
speech and all the talk in the confer
ence indicated that there was no one
who thought Democratic success pos
sible on a silver platform. While no
such declaration was specifically made,
there seemed to be quite q general feel
ing that the silver men were in the ma
jority, and while it was an up hill fight,
the men in the conference were no less
determined to contest every inch of the
ground.
Some gold men found encourage
ment in the report that the silver men
had decided to permit the two-thirds
rule to stand, and the very evident i'm
possibility to arrange a silver caucus
for the naming of presidential cam

that honor.
The meeting adjourned after. deciding
against any further action on any sub
Ject until Monday at 2 o'clock, when
the committee provided for will be

in order to permit the committee to Sc

that the postponements Of the decision
