Deadwood, Aug. Pin the Black
Hills there never was a better feeling

made in copper and "phonolite' ground.
One of the most promising copper
prospects is situated on City creek. in

GoRMAN AND HIS BOOM.
He Brings 1t to saratoga and Has u
Conference With NanM yck

Conference With NanW yck.
Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 12.--Arthur Pue
German arrived here with his presiden-
tial boom yesterday afternoon and inn
mediately there was great activity
among the anti-Bryan democratic lead
ers, gathered in Saratoga from all parts
of the country. Activity was succeeded
by speculation when the Maryland man
went into secret and prolonged confer
ence with Judge Augustus Van Wyck,
Tammany's carefully groomed aspirant
for party leadership in 1900.
Throughout his political career of half
century Mr.. German has been known
as a man who never does anything
without Interior motive, seldom re-
vealed at the time. Hence the gossip
caused by his conference with Judge
Van Wyck.
Rumor has it that ne unpacked his
grip, revealed his puny boom to the
I, New Yorker, then spoke sadly of medi-
l5cal warnings to him not to assume par
I ty leadership, even though it lay within
his grasp, and wound up by telling the
/ judge he was friendly TO him, but-and
| a but with a capital BIO secure his
/ support he (Gorman) must have man
agement of the campaign.
Another rumor says Mr.. German told
4 Judge Van Wyck that he (Gorman) was
being urged by influential friends to
make a fight for the presidential nomi.
nation in 1900. To secure 1t, though, he
recognized that he must have a united
! east and united south behind him. II
/ is added that he then suggested al
armed truce with the New Yorker, botf
working against MIR. Bryan until the
time when they could safely test theil
relative strength, the loser in that tes
to support the winner with all tn,
means at his command.
i Rumor does not say what Judge Val
\ Wyck replied to either of these specu
lative properties. In all probability

ton. Boss Croker is now on the higl

ing more interesting and important.
Judging from letters and dispatches
pouring In from all parts Of the country
the movement to cut loose from 10 to l
has gained tremendous momentum.
The bringing to remembrance of Mr..
Bryan's refusal. to vote for Congress-
man Crisp for speaker because he had
been in the confederate army seems to
have especially stirred up the southern
democrats. A dispatch received from q
prominent Alabama leader says 1t has
created great sensation there.
Judge Van Wyck stated yesterday In
an interview that he believes William
Goebel will be elected governor Of Ken
lucky, and Furthermore that he ought
to be elected. He added that the fight of
the Kentucky democrats Is the same In
principle as that VIGOROUSLY waged by
the Louisiana democrats against the
lottery ring, the Kentucky democratic
struggle being, he asserted, against the
dominance of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad.
Hugh j. Brady of st. Louis has start
ed boom for Governor Lon Y. Ste

He asserts that Governor Stephens is a
much bigger man in Missouri politics
than William j.. Stone. and that the for

Samuel b. Cook, another Missourian,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee of the democratic national COM
mlttee, has been writing letters, it is
stated, to intimidate leading democrats
from attending the Saratoga confer
ence. Mr.. Brady received one from him
demanding to know what business he
had to join an effort to prevent Mr..
Bryan's denomination. Former Nation
