Ter, chairman of the populist commit

ment expressed in the letter of Senator
Allen notifying Bryan Of his nomina-
ton by the %populist convention. I'VE
nominated Bryan at st. Louis" said he,
because of his record on the overshad-
owing issue of this campaign" When
the attention of Butler was called to-
day to the report he had written Con
gresham Howard of Alabama that
Sewall would be withdrawn he replied:
Howard is mistaken If he is correctly
represented in the dispatch. II any
such statement was sent out from here
it was sent without my authority. Moth
ing would give me more pleasure than
to have Sewall withdraw. as his with
drawal would remove an element OF
friction with the campaign and make
the election of Bryan certain. but the
matter rests with Sewall.'

WOLCOTT'S RECEPTION,


Colorado Springs, Colo. Sept. ID
The demonstration accorded Edward

upon his arrival in this city this after
aeon surpassed anything ever given
any political speaker who ever visited
the city. Thousands OF people greeted
the senator at the depot and a parade
OF two thousand people Carrying Ne

las marched the streets an hour and a
half and escorted the senator to his no
tel. At s O'Clock. the hour for deliver
ing his speech in the coliseum. the
largest hall in the city, fully 1000 peo-
pie occupied every available space in
the building to hear the senator talk.
The crowd demanding admission to the
hall was so immense hat an overflow
mass meeting of 5000 was held in
North park, and addressed by Wolcott
at the conclusion of his coliseum
speech. The opening words OF the SEN
ator's first speech was greeted by wild
cheering which lasted 10 minutes.
His speech was a severe arraignmcnt
|:of the Chicago platform and his utter
ances brought the vast audience to its
feet time and again in cheering and ap-
plause. He said he believed the day of
full recognition of silver was coming.
but if the recognition is to be of worth
it must come through the republican
party. He empiOred strongly the ar
raying of class against class as he
charged was being done by the popn-
lists and democrats of the land and ut
tered severe words of condemnation
against incendiary newspapers as he
he termed them of both the east and
west. that was stirring up sectional
hatred.
Delegates t o the number of thousands
came from all over the state to the
meeting and kilograms of regrets were
received from places o far distant to
be represented in the meeting. The
open air meeting was not conclued till

THE RESULT HAS NO TERRORS
FOR CHAIRMAN JONES OF
THE DEMOCRACY.
His Mind is so Befogged That He
Rather Thinks That the Result in
the Pine Tree State is an Endorse
ment of the Free Silver Policy Of
His Party.

/ Portland, Me-, Sept. l5.-The returns
in distant parts of the state are, as
usual. coming in very slowly. and it is
not probable that all of them will be
heard from before tomorrow. The vote
from the cities and towns. which will
poll more than two-thirds of the entire
vote of the state, indicate. however.
that the republican plurality will be
between $4,000 and 10000. the largest
in the history of the state.
In every county in the state the re-
publican ticket was successful and al
most every town showed a republican
gain. The democratic vote is about 40
per cent less than in 1892; about 90
per cent of this has gone to the %republi-
can ticket and the stay-at-homes are
responsible for the other half. The vote
of the populists and prohibitionists
throughout the state shows a loss from
1892 of about 26 per cent.
The vote from 800 out of 51S cities
and towns and plantations is &C, 921 for
Powers and 27,1i3 for Frank. In the
last election in 1894, when Cleaves was
elected by the then unprecedented ma
jority of 10000, these towns gave the
republican ticket 56.409 and the demo-
cratic 24.230, a republican gain in plur-
ality of 2,913 this year considering the

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the democratic committee,
will leave for Chicago tonight. When
asked for an opinion on the result of
the Maine election. he said:
When we consider that before the
held the democrats of Maine had Il con
vention and nominated a gold ticket
on a gold platform and subsequently re-
considered this declaration for silver,
and this was followed soon by the cleo
ton at whicH the party cast 1900 votes
more than it did two years ago, | think
it shows a marvellous gain for silver.
Instead, therefore, of feeling disheart-
ened over the result. l feel greatly en-
couraged. 1t must be remembered that
Maine is in the extreme east, where
we never had hope for any but the most
meagre results for silver. The returns
ought to add to the hopes of our friends
all over the country"
COMPROMISE WITH HILL.
Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 15.-It looks like
a state convention tonight and the ar
rival of the Tammany delegation has
done more to bring into view the old
convention faces than anything else that
has happened. During the afternoon
there was every evidence of friction,
but as the evening wore on and the
| E~,,,,,,,, l,l,r,-;,, ,,,;r,l l., ,u.,
every light controversy was smootheu
over, and it became more than eve evil
don't that the convention was to be
dominated by the great political organ
liza '0n from New York.
From the time Mr.. Hinckley arrived
this morning and announced that the
selection of Elliott Danforth, a New
York member of the Bryan and Sewall
notification committee for state, and
Frank S. Campbell for national COM
mitteeman, We're favorable to Mr.. Hill
until late tonight, when the news was
confirmed, there has been a conflict
among the assembled delegates and IA
food of gossip that led up to the belief
that there would be serious friction.
1t ends tonight by the withdrawal of
Mayor Malloy from the contest for the
state committee chairman and the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Campbell for the Of
flee of national committeeman, an end
ing that to everybody's mind signifies
a compromise with Senator Hill.
The ticket as it stands elected today
is: Governor. John Boyd Thatcher of
Albany: acknowledgement general,
Isaac Catlin of Brooklyn; chairman of
the state committee, the former state
treasurer, Elliott Danforth. Change
county: national committeeman, the
former state controller. Frank Camp
bell. Bath: temporary chairman, Thos.
F. Gray. New York city; permanent
chairman, b. H. Rockwell of Chemung.
The platform will endorse the Chill
cago national ticket and platform. and
will arraign the last republican legisla-
ture as the most ~eXtravagant in the his
tory of the state: it will say the Raines'
liquor law vas merely for the creation
of a vast republican machine and to
assist in reducing at the expense of a
class the tax of the state, which would
otherwise have been the largest in the
history of the state. and among other
things. it will advocate the adoption
of more stringent laws regarding
trusts.
