Town Clerk Brethauer Elected-Commft-
 tee in Session Until 1:3Oa. Tn.
 The much discussed meeting of the democratic town committee was held last evening in accordance with the de- termination of the majority of the com mittee last Tuesday, The meeting was not held in the Monticello club, as had been suggested at the time that it was determined upon, but in the Hoadley building, 49 Church street, in the office of Martin & Coyle.
 It was given out early in the week that Chairman Mills would be pre- emptorily busted from the position.
 There were nine members of the com mittee present at the meeting, the fol- lowing wards being represented: First, Second, Third, Fourth Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth.
 James Keleher of the First ward was elected chairman and David Fitzgerald secretary.
 The first business of the committee was quickly despatched and resolu- tion was passed deposing William J. Mills from the chairmanship of the committee because of his refusal to en- dorse the nomination of William Jen- nings Bryan for president and the Chi cago platform.
 The vote was unanimous.
 The second tack was not so easy. The names of ex-Mayor Sargent, ex-Judge David l.. Callahan, Town Clerk Fred erick H. Brethauer, Assessor William F. Shannon and eXCorporation Coun- sell c. T. Driscoll were mentioned, to all of whom there was considerable ob- jection from different sources.
 At Il o'clock a delegation was sent out to get the opinions of the promi- nent democrats as to who should be selected. This statement was given out after the meeting.
 Three trips were taken by the delega- ton.
 The last one was taken to MT. Breth- auer's residence to see if he would &C., cept the position.
 At 1:30 o'clock this morning the com nittee adjourned and in spite of the warning given by the more conserva- tive democrats and also of the rule which says the chairman of the com mittee shall be elected in January, Will liam J. Mills was deposed permanently and his c1JocacSor

BRYAN LOYAL TO sEHALL.
elf Sewall is Not Nominated Have My
 Name Withdrawnv

elf Sewall is Not Nominated Have My Name Withdrawn.,' St. Louis July 24-William Jennings Bryan, the nominee of the Chicago convention, will not accept a nomina- tion at the hands of the populists if they turn down his running mate, Sew all of Maine. Senator Jones of Arkan- sas, chairman of the national demo- cratic committee, who has been in this city for the past week laboring to se- cure the endorsement of the full Chi cago has been convinced for the past forty-eight hours that he could not wean over the men who are SC bitter in their antagonism to MT. Sewall on account of his Identification with a national bank, against which system the platform adopted this afternoon in- weighs.
 As soon as the convention to-day de- cided to nominate the vice president first, Senator Jones wired MT. Bryan at his home in Lincoln, Neb., as fol- lows: "The populists have decided to
 nominate the vice president first. If it is not Sewall, what shall we do favor your declination in that event." Senator Jones within sixteen min utes after he sent his message received
 the following reply:
 Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-"Agree with you fully. If Sewall is not nominated have my name withdraw. w. J. Bryan
 The message was shown to a num-
 Der of the senator's personal friends
 and was then sent to the convention
 hall to be read at the Night time. To a
 reporter Senator Jones said it was
 manifestly impossible for MT. Bryan to
 accept nomination from the popu- lists upon a ticket which repudiated
 his associate As soon as the conven-
 tion has carried out its fixed purpose,
 the populists would be enlightened as
 to MT. Bryan's course.

MT. Towne of Minnesota highly eulo- gized Bryan's personal, intense sym pathy with the common people and pledged the support of the young men of the country
 Mir. Doud of Missouri moved that the roll be called and the vote recorded. Another delegate moved that the nomi- nation be made by exclamation. This motion was carried unanimously by Q rising vote.
 The announcement by the chair was followed by a great wave of enthu- siasm carrying the delegates into chairs with umbrellas, hats and handker- chiefs in the air. A large picture of Bryan placed in front of the chairman's desk, together with silk flag, incyeas- ed the tumult and it rose to It's highest pitch when Miss Lillian Pierce, the elo- cutionist, seized the large yellow ban her of the California Blmetallic league, and marched round the hall followed by the delegates in single file.
 All the while the band played Hail Columbia" and Yankee Doodle" Fin ally Miss Pierce took the stage, and striking tableau was formed, she mak- ing the central figure with Bryan's pie ture for a background and flags and banners at the side while she held aloft in her fingers a silver dollar. When the delegates began to quiet down after a ten-minute demonstration 1t was re- newed by the familiar cry What's the matter with Bryan" and the response, Hes all right Quiet being restored the nomination of Q candidate for vice president was in order.
 Alexander Troup of New Haven, Conn, personal friend of MT. Sewall formally put the latter before the con- vention. The nomination was seconded by MT. Niles of Ohio, a friend of the candidate, he said, and of his fathers There never was a Sewall, he declared, who would not go to the stake for principle, and Arthur Sewall was fit ting mate for the grand man Bryan.
 The nomination of MT. Sewall was made by exclamation in diminished measure of spirit and time, the demon stration following Bryans nomination was repeated with variations.
 The band played America" and a verse was sung by the delegates and spectators. An effort was made by a portion of the delegates to sing Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow" but it was pitched on too high key and the attempt failed. Chairman St. John was at last enabled to announce that Arthur Sewall of Maine had been nominated as the conventions candi- date for vice president. A committee of one from each delegation was named t, notify the candidates of their nomi- nation. MT.

simply read: Gas Eli Perkins

supposing some great injury had
been done him, but instead the

Saturday, and upon surveying the
rotten and broken down benches

general air of neglect about the
place, remarked that he imagined
the authorities might do we'll to
devote a portion of the money ap-
propriated for the care of public
parks to identifying that resort,
the most centrally located and fav-
orite one in Honolulu. One of
the circular seats, surrounding
some minor shrubbery, is 50 de-
cayed as to be broken through in
two places while half dozen
rusty nails are left sticking up, n
dangering the person of any one
who sits down upon them as peo-
pie are liable to do in the dark.
To say the least they would make
haste to get up again.

that it will not be long before he will
have good-sized shipment of this
grade of ore ready for the market.
Besides the chute of shipping ore
already mentioned there is a four-foot
body of mineral next to the pay streak
and on the footwall that carries Sc IN
gold TO the ton, besides some silver,
and tests are now being made with
this ore by Officer to see if il will
leach well with the cyanide process.
and if it will, the owners of the pro-
Queer feel that they have a bonanza
proposition, as there is any amount of
this class and grade of ore in the mine.
If the test is satisfactory, mill will
be put in at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
One of the important features in
connection with the mine is the fact
that company is now being formed
for its future operation and develop
ment, and it will not be more than a
day or so. according to The Herald's
informant. before the company is in
actual existence.
The new incorporation, it is said
will capitalize at 150 900 shares of a
par value Of 81 each, 10000 shares of
which will be set aside as treasury
or working capital, and but a small
portion of this viii be placed upon the
market.
The incorporators of the company
will be Otto Hudson, H. NJ. HadIey. C.
G. Horsfall, Orson Sanders and Mr.
Checked.
mmediately after entering upon it's
legal existence the company will be-
gin the building of a road frcm the
canvon road to the mill, and as soon
as this is completed ore shipments
will be resumed

and 1t is understood that the line will
soon be in readiness for business With
this line in operation there will be no
further difficulty in. making connec-
tons with Manning at any time
1t IS understood that the Mercur
never looked in better condition than
1t does today, as it is stated that the
ore bodies exposed in the mine are
something wonderful to behold, and
there seems to be no limit TO the ex-
tent OF these mineral deposits.

The mining share market was a lit
tie weak yesterday when it came to the
listed stocks, and but little was done
in these securities; and yet most of
them held their own fairly well and in
some instances slight gains were noted.
Anchor fell into line again as a ia
vorite and made advances in the bid
ding, and the stock closed strong at
90 cents bid and S1.25 asked. Bullion
Reck held its own at the quotations of
the previous day, and it is stated that
on the streets after the call sales were
made at an advance over these fig
ures. DAILY and Daly-West were in
active while no changes were noted in
Mercur. Mammoth made gains both
in the bidding and the offerings, but
chronicled no transfers; while Ontario
failed to draw out any bids and was
weak in the offerings. Silver King
also suffered losses in the bidding, but
none OF the stock was offered.
The unlisted stocks attracted much
more interest than the listed securities,
and in these there was some activity,
both in the way of sales and advances.
South Swansea was in good demand
and at rising figures, and sales were
recorded at S1.45, which is the highest
price yet paid for this stock. Dalton
was weak III me pluulnS anu mace
some losses in the offerings. Northern
Light continued to make gains, and
sales were made at 81 and 60 cents,
and on the streets in the afternoon
transfers were reported at GO and 65
Sacramento was firm at 40 cents bid
and so asked, while Lucky Bill was
stronger than ever before and made
Slight advances. Buckeye was sta.
tionary but inactive. Swansea failed
to make anV transfers and was rather
weak.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

Phoenix Ore shipment..

H. G. Gibson, one of the lessees of
the Phoenix mine, at Bingham, was
in the city yesterday with a shipment
of ore-1O5 tons in all-that netted him
$500 q ton.
This is a good-sized shipment and
panned out WE'LL and The Herald is in
formed that another shipment will be
made by Mr.. Gibson at an early day:
that he has over 300 tons of shipping
ore now blocked out in the mine, and
that the ground is looking in good
shape for future operations.
The company made a valuable strike
in the mine few weeks ago, as stated
in these columns at the time, but it is
reported that within the last month
the water has come in to such an
extent that work had to be suspended
in the development of the new strike,
and that now il will be necessary to
continue the lower tunnel in order to
get below the newly discovered. ore
body.
1t is stated that the other lessees on
the Phoenix are also sending down
good ore. and that unless there is a
slump in the metal markets, this prop
ertv will be able TO ship all winter.
