state, "Old Kentucky Home, Dixie, -

About this time Mr.. Buokner of Ken
tuoky entered the hall and was greeted
with cheers. Then MIR. Breckinrid ge of
Kentucky came in with his delegat ion
and "Hurrah for Breckinridge, was
shouted from scores of throats. There
were shouts for Breckenridge from the
galleries as if 1t were expected that he
would delivar the speech which he fail ed
to make at the mass meeting last night.
At II. 40 Senator Caffery of Louisiana
as chairman of the convention rose and
stated: "The chairs desires to announce
that the opening of the convention Ia
delayed for few moments to ascertain
whether or not the committee on resolu-
tions is ready to report. The chair is in
formed that the committete will report
shortly. l beg you therefore to be patient
for few moments to see whether that
committee Is ready" That was the sig
nal for a renewal of the shouts for Breck-
inridge which finally became over whelm-
ing.
Congressman Breckinridge advanced
to the platform and was received who
great cheering. He delivered speech
of great power and eloquence which was
listened to with profound silence and
attention, except when broke in upon by
bursts of applause.
After Breckenridge had concluded Mr..
Sparks of Tennessee offered resolution
declaring the sense Of convention at the
great loss sustained by the Democratic

ARMOUR AND PULLMAN INIT.
These Two Chicago Men Will Go in and
Straighten out Diamond Match Stock.

Chicago, September 3.-A morning pa

Moore have agreed to withdraw from the
management of the Diamond Match COM
pany and their designations are said to
be in the hands of George NJ. Pullman.
The resignation of James Hopkins, OF
st. Louis, is ready on call and SO a
clear field is left for installing Messrs.
Armour ana Pullman in the reorgan iza-
ted directory. A meeting of the pool
members was held at noon and the fact
that the designations were rendered is
taken as evidence that the pool has de-
cided to contribute toward the losses in
Cured by brokers who bought Moore

trust agreement will NOT be signed and
the necessity Of keeping the exchange

HARMONY'S RAILROAD.
There Seems Tc Be Little Hitch in Com
struction Matters.

Hartland. Sept 3.-There seems to be
little hitch in regard to the further
progress Of the work upon the Sebasti
cook & Moosehead railroad extension.
The contractors, Davis Bros, of Bos-
ton took the job and have put in about
$40, 600 already in grading and laying
four miles Of track and In other ways.
They are said to have been willing to
expend this sum before they received
anything from the company. When they
called on for their money they were ten
dered the bonds of the town of Harmony
for $500 but money was what they
wanted and $40, 900 too.
Then there has been no payment to
since July 10, If E. T. Mitchelll's
crew is excepted, these men being paid
of and discharged July 20, and there
should have been pay day about Au-
gust Is. This fact did NOT tend to re duce
any disquietude which may have pre-
viously prevailed and matters have now
reached climax when something will
be done soon one way or another. 1t la
said that the contractors are willing to
complete the road If they can own 1t
hen finished, but that they do not pro-
pose to take further chances, by toying
with fate or anything like 1t. They be-
lieve it will be a paying line and that it
| will be built.
The railroad company have assured
them that they will In few days ar
range matters to the satisfaction of
not only the contractors but the work
| mon themselves. II this is fact there
is no doubt but that it will be accom-
phshed.
| President Lancaster is man of much
energy. He has proved 1t by his ability
| thus far in the prosecution of the work.
1t has cost money and lots of 1t. He has
made the little branch from Hartland to
Plttsfield pay good dividend and as one
man recently remarked "you can just
bet that he will succeed In completing
the road to Harmony and beyond and
make that pay WE'LL"
The work of late has been going on be-
| tween Main stream and Harmony vii
lage. One half of the entire distance has
| been receiving attention and with no
| larger Grew at work, this part, excepting
the stream would have been completed
| in about 10 days had it not been for the
hitch, which seems to hold guard over
further progress until gold or silver
remedy Is offered.

JONES PROPOSES TO FIRE THEM.
Anti-Bryan Democratic Committeemen
Must Make Way for Others.

Chicago, September 8.-The conference
Of Democrats and silver leaders, which
is to be held in this city next Saturday,
promises to be most important one. II
is understood that Chairman Jones has
req uested all Of the members of the De-
mocratic national committee to be here
Oh that day. 1t is also expected that SEN
ators Teller and Dubois, Cone res n an
Towns, Senator German, Gov AItgeld,
Gov. Stone, R.P. Bland of Missouri, d. j.
Campau of Michigan, I. K. Stevens,
George P. Keeney and W. Fl. Cornell of
the national silver party, ex-Goy. Peck
of Wisconsin and members of the nation
al executive and advisory committee will
be present.
A sensational rumor was heard yester-
day in the vicinity of the national head
quarters to the effect that it is the inten-
tion of Chairman Jones to take summary
action at the time of this conference
bers of the national committee who have
not indicated their intention of work
ing for the election of Bryan. Several
members Of the national committee have
thus far given Chairman Jones no as
surance thatsthey favor MIR. Bryan's cleo
tlon and have either worked openly
against him or have failed to lift finger
in his behalf. Among these gentlemen
Is William +. Sheehan, the national COM
mitteeman from New York. 1t has been
supposed that Chairman Jones would
await the action OF the New York Demo-
cratic state con vention, which is to be
held In about two weeks, before taking
action toward displncing Mr.. Sheehan and
putting a silver man in his place, but it
is said that his patience has been ex-
hausted by Mr.. Sheehan's silence. 1t
has been stated that II. w. Cornell of
New York, who arrived In this city yes
terday from New York, is slated to sue
ceed Mr.. Sheehan as the national COM
mitteeman from the state of New York.

HILL AND MURPHY AT ODDS.
Former Not Likely to Support Bryan Af-
ter All it is Said.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 3.-There is said
to be breach betweel Senator Hill and
Senator Murphy, caused by their differ
ences of opinion on the currency ques-
ton and Bryan's sensational speech at
Ripley. in which. by implication, he at
| tackled Senator Hill severely.
Senator Hills friends here are thor
oughly stirred up over the matter.
| Among Democrats here the belief that
Senator Hill will declare at the Buffalo
convention for Bryan has been consider
| ably shaken. Some of his friends even
say that he will join the third ticket
men.
The first intimation of Senator HIP S
alleged change of purpose came from
the Argus office. This paper is recog-
| nized as Hills organ. 1t has frequently
pointed out in its editorial page the
course that Senator Hill subsequently
followed, and its editor Mr.. T. C. CALI
| cot, is a warm personal friend Of Mr..
Hill.
The Argus bitterly criticised Mr..
Bryan's utterance at Ripley. 1t will
| support the ticket to be nominated at
Indianapolis. A well known Democrat
| yesterday offered to bet large sum of
| money that Hill would support the same
| ticket, and when pressed to explain his
| assurance, declared that he had secured
his information in the Argus editorial
rooms.
Senator Murphy, who is stockholder
in the Argus, bitterly opposed the propo-
but the wishes of former Gov. Flower
ruled, and Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Flower
are no longer friends.
The actions of conventions in which
delegates to Buffalo have been chosen
seems to indicate that Democrats do not
believe Senator Hill will support Bryan.
The clash between Hill and Murphy is
| also evident in their disagreement re-
garding candidates for governor.
