HAVEN'T LOST A MAN.
Chairman Bypum Talks of the Out
look for the Gold Democrats.

New York. July 21.-GoId Democrats
from all over the country have gathered
here to attend a special meeting of the
executive committee of the national COM
mittee. of the national Democratic party.
This will be held this afternoon at the
office of Chairman VIM. d. Bynum.
There will be present at the meeting,
besides Chairman Bynum, formerly of In
diana, but a resident of Brooklyn now,
Geo. Foster Peabody of Brooklyn, secre-
tary of the national committed; VIM. R.
Halderman of Louisville, publisher of
Henry Watterson's Courier-Journal; F.
w. NJ. Cutcheon of Minnesota; c. V. Hol>
man of Maine; John c. Built of Phila-
delphia; John P. Framed of Indiana; L. c.
Krau loft of Missouri, and Major w. w.
Screws of Montgomery, Ala, proxy for
Col. James Faulkner.
There will be informal conferences with
gold Democrats of New York and New
Jersey. At the executive session plans
will be matured for continuing the cam
paign of education among Democrats. The
principal points of attack in sight are
Ohio. Kentucky and Iowa, where third
state tickets will be put up this fall Col
Haldeman will explain the situation in
Kentucky and L. NJ. Martin of Iowa. is
here to tell the committee what Is needed
for the campaign in his state. From Ohio,
Virgil Kline. T. P. Lynn and E. S. Holden
have come to address the national COM
mittee on the requirements of their state
in the coming campaign.
1.-The meeting" said Chairman Bynum,
will, 1 think, demonstrate the fact that
the fight for restoration of Democratic
principles is to go on harder than ever.
We expect to show in elections like those
in Ohio, Kentucky and Iowa that we hold
the balance of power and that it is inn
possible for a so-called Democratic ticket
to win on a free silver platform. If it
can win after such fight as we will
make then there is reason for the eX-
iStence of this movement and we will go
out of business. 1t is our desire to con-
duct campaign of education in these and
other states and to put Democratic speak
ers on the platform in every county. This
year there is occasion for Democrats
to vote the Republican ticket because the
danger that threatens the country is not
so great and We expect to poll very
large vote. An indication of what we may
do was shown in the Michigan elections.
There in 1896, Palmer only polled $500
votes, but a few months later the. gold
Democrats of Michigan polled over $1,000
votes. We have had many important
cessions to the ranks and we have not
lost a man"

MRS. LEASE TOLD BRYAN.
She Says, if He Sticks to SilverAlone
He Cannot Win.

Kansas City, July 21-She cleaved the
air with a majestic wave of her left

hat nodded violently. The steel blue
eyes SparkIed.
Il am not an office seeker" she said.

governor of Kansas if it was offered
me. 1 do not want any office, but if

So said Mary Elizabeth Lease of

would be is secretary of the interior,

Then she fell to talking about Bryan
and socialism and her daughter and
Mark Hanna.
Staying in the White House now
she sneered sarcastically. Running
the government under the assumed
name of Mckinley. Why, that man
has no more qualifications for a United
States senator than a cat.
II think he'll be the next Republican
candidate for president. Yes, and I
should not be at all surprised if he'd be
elected" she continued. who will be
his opponent? Well, now, I'm sure 1
don't know. If Bryan sticks to silver
and doesn't take up some of the social
istic questions which are agitating the
country now and which are more i'm
portant than any financial question, he
can never be elected, even if he is nom
mated. I told him SO six weeks ago."
And what did he say?" was asked.
"Oh, he said the silver question would
lead to all these other important
things
Mrs. Lease then talked about social

of any name which will exactly cover

Yes, 1 believe socialism is the thing

state organization, formally resigned
and this precipitated wind up of the

New York, July PA dispatch to the

Gatulle Mendes, the poet, and Lugne

duel last night, and the result was al

Emile Andre, one of MendeS' seconds,
approved his principals comment which
brought on such a storm of invectives
from all concerned. that the whole par

courage was heard
Then, while confusion was at its
height a spot of blood was observed on
Mendes' shirt. A thrill ran through ev-

Lugne Poe even was alarmed. 1t
turned out. however. that Mendes had
been pricked in the hand by his adver-

The report of Mendes' seconds has not

part of Lugne Poe in the Presse. Each

NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT.
Record of Grit Displayed by Two Kan

The Newspaper West says: AS ex-

Messrs Eckert & Howard of the Ar

When a dozen years ago they pur-
chased the Traveller its horizon was OBJ
secured by debt of $4,000, upon which
the annual interest was 1860. To lift
this immense burden was an undertake

succeeded All this Indebtedness they
have paid, besides restocking the office
and paying out, in that time, $22,0 900 for
telegraph service. The office is now
entirely out of debt, and it is the boast
of the establishment that the regular
weekly payment of employees has never
once been missed.
