CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.-THE Middle-of-
the. Road Populists convened their Sec
ond days session of the national con.
ventioa at an early hour, when the
temporary organization was made per-
manent and Chairman Ignatlus Dom
nelly made another radical speech,
denouncing all those who had Co
operated with fusion movements, and
strongly advocating the reorganization

pendent candidate for congress, state
Offices, etc. A letter was read from
Ex-Governor David Waite of Colorado
in which he denounced Senator Butler
leader and advocated the nomination
of straight Populistic tickets for presi-
dent and other offices.
An elaborate address to the people of
the United States was adopted. IL re-
amrms the previous platform of the
Populists and covers many additional
questions, and in referring TO the pres
emit situation. it says:
Roast For Senator Butler.
The Peoples party vote in 1894 and 1895
rose to nearly 100000 and everything in
dictated its speedy national triumph. In
this emergency the Democratic party saw
that it had no recourse but to steal one of
the principles of the despised Populists
In the Chicago convention of 1896, in a
prearranged theatrical scene of great up
roar and enthusiasm, it moved to thefront
as the devoted and lifelong champion of
that which it had always opposed.
Senator Butler, who is the chairman of
our national committee, preached ,disinte-
grafton and decentralization, just as Ben
edict Arnold stipulated for the scattering
of American forces, that the British
might the more readily Overthrow the
young republic.
first duty of soldier was to break ranks
chain the boundless subtilty of this cum
ming man3have been in vain. Our chief
battle is not against the
Decentralization of One Metal
for the benefit of another, but against
claiming of the worlds progress to the
car wheelsrof a prehistoric superstition,
in the shape Of both metals The whole
world today is held in check by system
of golf barter, while enterprise Ian
cuisines, industry suffers and the ceme-
teries are populous with the bodies of
bankrupts and suicides We will end the
tricks of the office seekers by putting our
national ticket in the field at once Our
hearts go out to the wretched and op-
pressed of the whole world While we
demand that if either gold or silver is to
be used, as money, both shall be so used,
we insist that the best currency this coun-
try ever possessed was the full legal ten
der greenback of the Civil War, and we
look forward with hope to the day when
gold shall be RELOCATED to the diseased
teeth of the people, and the human fam
lily possess, free of tribute to bankers, a
governmental full legal tender measure
of values, made of paper, that will ex-
pand side by side with the growth of
wealth and population.

Public Opinion in the Dreyfus
Case Forcing the French
Cabinet to Act.
Does Not Doubt His Guilt but
Will Probably Grant Him
a New Trial.
Interests of the Country Para
lyzed and Some Action
Is Imperative.
Resignation Of the Minister of
War May Cause a Cab
met Crisis.

PARIS, Sept. Interviews with the
premier, M. Henry Brls>on, and the
late minister of war, M. Godefray
Cavaignac, on the subject of the
political situation in France as it has
been affected by the recent develop
ments in the Dreyfus case, are printed
in The Echo de Paris. NJ Brisson is
reported as having said that all mem.
bers of the ministry are convinced of
the guilt of Captain Dreyfus, but that
the government must consider the
change that has come over public opin.
ion since the suicide last week of Lieu.
tenant Colonel Henry. M. Brisson ex.
pressed the view that it is the duty Of
the government to end the excitement
which is paralyzing the best interests
of Paris and the country.
M. Cavaignac, in the course of the
interview printed in The Echo de
Paris, said that it would be serious
mistake, if not
saereme Act of Foity
on the part of the government, to per.
sist in its present course, and that he
was not willing to participate in such
policy.
"You will .see," said M. Cavaignac
Gin what condition the country will be
after new trial"
The newspapers of Paris point out
that M. Cavaignac's resignation of the
war portfolio has produced painful
impression in political circles, which,
while recognizing the fact that the in
nocence OF Captain Dreyfns has not
yet been disproved, take the ground
that new trial Of the charges against
the prisoner of Devils island has be-
come necessary.

success so far as the attendance is con.
cerned, even for these national events
which are phenomenal for crowds.
The, opening day surpassed expecta.
lions, but before the 81 guns were fired
at sunrise at Camp Sherman, the de-
pots were crowded with more arrivals.
The posts arrived in bodies and were
escorted to their quarters by local posts.
The special trains arrived faster than
they could be handled at the terminals
In the early hours and the rush con-
tinued SO that the later trains were
stopped at Camp Sherman and other
suburban points where street cars and
other transportation had been provided.
There is a capacity of $4,000 in the
tents Of Camp Sherman, and it is we'll
36lled, as we'll as the smaller camps,
sDut the committee ON quarters has un.
limited quarters yet in residences and
other places. The
decorations Are Unusually Elaborate,
the electric light designs in the public
squares and at street intersections sur
passing even the finest structures of
expositions, and the entertainment is
equally lavish. The National Naval
association gave grand parade during
the morning. After their parade the
naval veterans Were entertained on
steamboats, and they captured Coney
island. The features of the day were
the regimental brigade and other re-
unions, at which the old comrades got
closer together than on any other occa-
sion. There We're demonstrations on
the arrival of several department COM
manders and of governors and their

Mckinley stating that public business
would prevent him and Mrs. McKin.
ley from attending the encampment
this week.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Captain
John McCafferty, ex-collector of Gus
toms for Alaska and a mining engineer
by profession. has arrived here from
Dawson City. Bis summing up of his
experience is that the gold placer dig.
. gings of Alaska are short-lived, and
that there are no tfne assure veins in
that territory, because the country is
too much broken mp. and because the
geological indications are such as to
warrant the conviction that there is no
gold bearing quartz in the place. Large
broken s-dep posts" of gold or bonanzas
may be found there, bnt they will be
of the nature OF pockets aud will not
last
TIE most surprising opinion ex-
pressed by him is that the placer dig
oings are on the point of being worked
out, and that many of them have
barely paid expenses

there were 4, 600 men, many of them

to join In the cfamor for independence &c,

PARIS, Sept. 6.-There is no break
in the sensational happenings in connec-
ton with the Dreyfus case that have
made these last four days SO eventtul.
M. Cavaignac, minister for war and an
opponent OF revision, has resigned,
Owing to the resignation of M. Ca

to Paris and conferred with M. Del
Case, minister Tor foreign affairs; M.
Bourgeois, mi Minister of public educat ion,
and General Surlinden.
The cabinet will meet in the morn.
ing expressly to deal with the request
from Mme Dreyfus for revision of
the proceedings of the courtmartial
that condemned her husband. AS the
cabinet is now practically unanimously
in favor of revision, partly because the
ministers are aware that there is no
other method OF
Satisfying Public Feeling,
the outcome Of the meeting is almost a
foregone conclusion. 1t is not thought
that M. Cavaignac's retirement will in.
volve the resignation Of other minis.
tiers.
In her letter to M. Sarrien, the min.
lister of justice, Nine. Dreyfus says she
addresses him again, since he alone
has has the right to declare revision OH

CUES that Lieutenant Colonel Henry's
admission of forgery deprives his dep

concludes her appeal by calling upon
M. Sarrien to ''listen to the voice of

punishment of loyal and Innocent
