ton to visit the convention city. Your
presence has caused considerable gos-
sip and speculation. Why did you come?
Il have nothing further to say than
what have already told you I shall re-
main here only during the day, returning
10 my home on the evening train. II IS
just a nights ride from Chicago"
The ex-governor declined TO discuss any
political topics of current interest say
ing Il would be indicate for him TO do
so. As 10 the situation here, he said, he
could not speak if he would, for he was
so little acquainted with the details that
he could not form an opinion.
Mr.. Walsh, who is in charge of the
Iowa-eX-gOvernors candidacy, was not in
the rooms this morning, but Mr.. Boies in
timated that he might have something to
say this evening after his (Boies) de-
parture.
The appearance of Gov. Boies in the
hotel was coupled with the report, which
gained rapid circulation, and in view of
the Iowa candidates appearance on the
scene, general credence, that Mr.. Bland
had been sent for by his friends and that
he would be in Chicago this evening or to-
morrow morning. In the absence of def
mite or authoritiVe information on the sub
Ject. quite a panicky feeling prevailed
among the silver men about the hotel.
Delegate Showalter, who is for Bland,
said: There is absolutely no truth in
the story that the friends of Mr. Bland
have sent for him to come to Chicago.
The appearance of Gov. Boies speaks It's
ment to make. Mr.. Bland will observe
the precedents of all democratic conven-
tons and the unwritten law thereof, which
forbids that a candidate should come on
to the field and endeavor to influence
the action of delegates by personal APP
peal or direction.
"From the very first" continued Mr.
Showalter, Il know that Mr.. Bland has
not done a single thing to further MS
candidacy here. He opposed the action
in the Missouri convention indorsing him
as the states candidate for President
and pledging himself the support of lis
delegation. He also opposed similar ac-
ton in other state conventions He IL
now quietly at home, pursuing his usual
vocation"
What will be Mr.. BANDS strength in
the convention%'
''He will have on the first ballot the
vote Of every state west of the AIissls-
sippi river, except that of Iowa, and pos
sibly a dozen scattering ones here and
there He will also have the votes of
two-thirds of the southern delegates. and
after the first ballot the votes OF Illinois.

-"Barsa ka satta." is a peculiar game

-"Barsa ka Satta," is peculiar game
which is much played in East India. but
has recently been prohibited by the Eng
lish government. The same consists in bets
being made on rainy days whether little
or much rain will fall the quantity of rain
being determined by several primitive
methods. The most usual method Is the fol-
lowing: Upon the terraces or roofs of many
houses in India there is a water tank pro-
vided with a waste pipe. Through this tube
the water escapes If a certain amount of
rain has fallen. The point of the same is
to try and guess when a rainstorm is ap-
preaching, and at what time the rainwa-
ter in the tank will begin to flow out of
the discharge pipe. The natives devoted
themselves to this game with such passion
ate interest that frequently fights occurr-
ed, which in some places have even taken
the shape of actual riots. As a consequence
Of these continued difficulties the indian
government stopped the trouble by prohib-
iting the ''Barsa ka Satta" altogether.

to them my high appreciation OF the
compliment and to extend to them my
sincere thanks for their support as
manifested by expressions of approval
Of my candidacy from all portions of

the political situation is such as to de-
mand the withdrawal of my name as a

been conceded to the POpulist noni-
nee under the terms of cooperation
agreed upon between the Republicans
and Populists Stree my nomination
and approaching the vital interest of
our friends involved in the result of
this cooperation, l cannot permit my
candidacy to in any way Obstruct such

that have always, from its conception,
favored CO. cooperation believing it to be
the only course to break up the court
house rings and corrupt methods of the
machine Democracy depriving US of
local self-government and honest and
fair elections, and approaching the
great reforms we have already accom-
plished by cooperation in 1894, L am
for continuation of the same for the
purpose Of perpetuating those reforms
already accomplished in voting to the
people local government and hon.
est and fair elections. Actuated by
these motives and for our success in
, the ensuing election 1 urge all our
friends, for the sake of preserving our
most sacred rights and liberties to be
. vigilant in supporting the cooperation
ticket and stand in defense of our com.
mon cause-honest elections and local
self-government.
Considering the vital interests in.
volved, all contingent upon the politi'
cal complexion of the next General AS

as candidate. I do so from sincere
. motives and with the most kind ant
: grateful feelings to my many friends
