and his most intimate friends realize
that the proposition to carry the state
for silver is by no means as easy as II
was last year. Still they are determined
70 leave no stone unturned to effect this
very thing. since Mr.. Bryan admxs that

sition Of his own state in the silver ranks
mis- chances for being the presidential
nominee three years hence would De
slim indeed. They have discussed tbs
phase Of the case and therefore are will
ing to grant everything to the other rae
ton OF the fusion combination to secure
this end. But there are several am
bilious silver Democrats who want to SIT
on the Supreme bench and who assert
that they ought not to be asked to step
aside to give place TO Populist or to
interest OF Mr.. Bryan. for whom eney
have just finished making such great
sacrifices
To bead of this feeling ana other NUT
terings OF mutiny the Bryan faction Is
retailing ell over the state the story
that tne Republicans have wide-reacn-
ing plot to again Republicanize Nebras-
ka and Kansas. This by creating an artl-
fetal wave Of prosperity in these two
states by having a number OF nfanufac-
turing points removed from those states
already overwhelmingly Republican and
located In Kansas and Nebraska. They
say that the great corporations are con-
tributing to this scheme with money and
the railroads are transporting tho plants
free Of freight charges As a vertical
ton If this story they point TO the 81 .0o0,-
o0O packing plant Of the Arnours estab-
lshed in Omaha: to a $500. 900 beet sugar
factory by tho Her syndicate Of New
York at Omaha; to the location at
Fremont Of large branch OF the Ameri-
can Chicory ComDany's works. and to
innumerable smaller companies thathave
begun business In the state since the
first Of the year. In this way they not
only account, for the real wave Of pros
perity that the state Is beginning to feel,
but arouse Z feeling OF hostility among
all classes that stood by Bryan last year.
with the hope that they will remain in
the Bryan ranks throughout the present
fight.
The Republicans who hold their con-
vention after all the fusion forces have
met. The leading Republicans OF the
state declare that the bimeta1lists will
never be able to hold the voters together
az they were held last year. They at
tribute the present good feeling through
the stare to the fact that the country and
the administration and assert that the
story of the Bryan faction concerning
the plan Of the corporation to Repubai-
canize Nebraska by sending manufac-
turing plants here to start good bust
ness feeling is the best evidence that the
advocates Of the white metal are in
much alarm over the situation. They de-
clare that the Sound money" factions
WILL unite upon some good men and elect
them with, probably. the old-time ma
jorities common in the state.
The gold standard Democrats. under
the leadership Of j. Sterling Morton, are
equally active and declare that they will
have ticket in the field this fall and
that they will do all they can to con-
tribute to the success Of the enti-fusion
forces. provided silver IS made the issue,
which he very much doubts. He Is in
cined to think the situation will resolve
itself into the old-time tight Of parties
for the offices. and that Bryan and his
free silver following will be mere INCL
dents 20 the situation.
Bryan, however, is in dead earnest, for
he has already announced that he will
stump the state from one end to the
other and that he yill make the situa-
:lon especially clear TO the farmers. That
element just at present Is pleased over
the combination OF the most extraordi-
nary crop prospects and the bounty which
congress has agreed to place on sugar
beets and chicory, both Of which are be-
ing extensively raised in the state this
year Consequently the agricultural ele-
ment of Nebraska IS in no mood 20 be
told just at present that they need free
silver 10 make them prosperous. In
truth, the rural districts are much more
prosperous al present than are the towns
and cities, and as all che cities and
towns in Nebraska cast major-res last
year for Mckinley. It leaves the s.tua-
ton complicated indeed for the advo-
Gates OF free silver.
New York, July Fire was discover
ed on the Bath Beach steamer Tourist
,ast night soon after the boat had left her
pier az the Battery. There were $50 pas
sengers on board. men. women and chill
dren, and a panic resulted that was pre-
vented from developing serious result,
only by Captain Arthur Kilmore's
prompt action in bleaching the boat.
The cause OF the fire and the extent o;
the damage done by the flames. which
were a, length subdued. have not ye;
been determined.
