Bateman, of Maine.

Cincinnati, June 23.-The Bimetalllc
League met yesterday morning and or
gapized temporarily. Then it went on an
outing to Coney Island and upon its
return held a meeting at PH<e's Opera
House at night, the leading feature OF
which was the ovation to Hon. William
]. Bryan. Bryan arrived late in the
afternoon and with his friend. Horace
Il. Dunbar. dined at the residence of
John r. Mclean. where he met a COM
pany Of half a dozen. People crowded
the streets around the residence and
compelled Bryan as he went to his car
riage to go through q brief season of
handshaking. Mr.. Bryan appeared at
the Pike after addresses had been made
by General Z. b. Finley and Hon. H.
F. Bartine. OF Nevada. His reception
was enc long protracted deafening roar
of enthusiasm. Bryan said he was not
there to speak, but to e0hort for organi-
zation.
When asked by an Enquirer reporter
concerning the charges made by Profess
sor Bateman. the Peoples party candi-
date for governor Of Maine last year,
Bryan said: mo conditions were at
tached to the money turned over to SEN
ator Allen. except that 1t should be used
according to Mr.. Aliens judgment for
the cause Of bimetallism. All donations
were made for that purpose. The mon
ey was divided between Democrats,
Popuiists and silver Republicans In
proportion to the vote cast. To have
ignored the Populists in the distrihu-
ton would have been an inexcusable
slight. The subject OF fusion was not
discussed directly or Indirectly. Mr..
Bateman. I presume. has reference to
the letter as reproduced in my book. I
took il from the newspapers II Pro-
fessor Rateman proves to me that it
was a mistake I shall make the change
in subsequent editions"

Silver Men of all Parties Combine e
Garry the State II They Can.
Des Moines. Ia, June 23.-There will
be three conventions held in this city
to-day simultaneously, and the three are
expected to adopt the same platform
ard nominate the same candidates. The
three are the Democrats (Bryan), the
silver Republicans and the Populists
constituting the free silver forces OF
Iowa. The intention is to merge them
all into one and make another deter
mined fight for silver. The hotel lobbies
are crowded. The old leaders of the
Democratic party are conspicuous by
their absence. The gold Democrats were
practically ruled out of the county con-
ventions. The men who are here are
Hearly all radicals.
They are more pronounced for Elyer,
if anything, than last year. The plat
form will be brief-free silver, a tariff
for revenue, economy in state expendi-
lures and an amendment to the railway
laws preventing the employees from
signing away their right to sue for
damages-are some of the leading sub
jects. There are many candidates for
governor and no man is in the lead.
Among the possibilities are Ex-Governor
Boies. ex-Representative White: ]. r.

ment for his displacement by an out

College Boat Races.

Poughkeepsie. June 2S.-The open.
ing day Of the college boat races
was sll that could be desired. No
such crowd ever before gathered in
America to witness q freshman race
as assembled along the Hudson. The
starting hour was set between and
6 O'Clock. according to the condition
Of the wind and water. There was no t
much betting about the hotel corri-
dors. 1t was noticeable, however,
that Of the "talkers," Cornell's de-
tenders outnumbered those OF Yale
and Harvard three to 1. This was
obviously because of the talk of sick
ness among the Yale youngsters
which obtained in some q quarters to-
day and because Of the strong con-
victions as to the prowess left by
Cornell in her last years walk over.
