fall was argued to-day before Secretary OF state
Porter. The regular Republican organization
objects In the case Of the Silver Republicans
and the regular Populists protest against the
Mid-roaders.
The Silver Republican party was organized
four years ago and since then has been a part
Of the triple alliance In Nebraska politics
against the regular Republicans. The oblec-
tons to the Silver Republicans summed up are
three In number as follows:
First-At tho last election the Silver Re-
publicans failed to poll / per cent. Of the en-
ttire vote cast in the State, as required by law
Second-They violated the election law
passed by the last Legislature In assuming
a portion of a name OF all older party.
Thlrd-They are not a regular party. mas
much as they have no candidates OF their own
simply indorsing the nominees OF other parties,
The Silverltss. in defence, say that tho sec
ond objection Is based on the presumption
that the statute in question Is Retroactive
having been passed since the shyer hepuD-
stitution Is cited TO uphold the contention that
no statute can be retroactive.

Quotations From the U%tterances Of Great
Americans on Expansion.

The Republican National Committee issued
Yesterday a document on expansion, COM
posed entirely OF quotations from the men
whom Col. William Jennings Bryan Is fond OF
referring to In his public speeches. The docu-
ment was compiled by Albert II. Walker OF the
New York Bar, and consists Of extracts from
the public and private utterances OF George
Washington. Thomas Jefferson. Ulysses &.
Grant, John Marshall. Henry Clay. Albert
Gellatin, James Madison. James X. Polk. Abra-
ham Lincoln. Andrew Jackson. Renjamin
Franklin, Alexander Hamilton. William Il.
Seward stephen A. Douglas, ;Gouyerneur
Morris, James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce.
1t has been one Of Nj. Bryan's favorite tricks
to declare that none Of the great men In the
history OF the United States ever said any
thing except In denunciation OF the tendency
Of the country TO grow. Mr.. Walkers COM
%pllatlon starts OF with six quotations from
JMsSefissomns and Grant, all Of whom said that the
country had the power to grow. TO govern
dependencies, TO acquire territory and to do
all Of the things which Col, Bryan says IL
shouldn't do. The National Committee Is
going 70 print a million copies Of the docu-
ment as a starter, and wherever It Ia found
that the Democrats are telling the voters that
all OF the Fathers Of the Country were opposed

Reelection of Mckinley.

SEATIIR. Wash. Aug. MISUNDERSTANDING
his criticisms Of the Administration and Secre-
tary Hay for alleged British leanings, Senator
william f. Mason announced to-day that he will
give Mckinley and Roosevelt his best support
throughout the campaign. He said:
MY trip TO the Pacific Coast at this time Is
my first vacation in fifty years. Instead Of
sending my family 10 Europe | thought would
spend my money az home and show them some
of the magnificent grandeur of Alaska, WASH
ineton and the West. We are going down
through California and then ] will 20 home and
enter the campaign for President Mckinley.
There has been n great deal OF talk regard
ing my attitude toward the President. We
have had our differences regarding tile man
agement Of certain measures OF government.
but to me there IL no dearer friend on earth
than William Mckinley. our differences on
political measures will not interfere with my
going 10 work for him., and | want to add that
we are going To carry Illinois for Mckinney
and Roosevelt We are going TO make a good
job OF cleaning up that 10 to l craze
dent Mckinley is against imperialism u IL his
firm and manly stand In the Chinese difficulties,
demanding the protection OF our. citizens, yet
declining To enter into the worlds conspiracy

is no doubt that Russia, England. Germany and.
IN fact, all foreign Powers having lust for growth
by conquest, have been laying plans to divide
the markets and territory Of China. The Pre@i-
dents course has surprised all Europe. because
the Powers imagined we were starting out on

Their Dates.

William b. Gourley, chairman Of the New
Jersey State Democratic Committee. visited
Jersey City yesterday and established the
headquarters OF tho committee In rooms 1 and
8 OF the Hotel Washington. Thcy will not be
opened until Monday.
No sooner had this business been arranged
than Mr.. Gourley was waited on by several
members Of the Robert Davis Association who
were anxious TO know II the date of the State
Convention, Sept. II, could not be changed, as
the annual outing Of the association y fixed
for the samo day. Mr.. Gourley said II could
not. He regretted the conflict and hoped that
II would not prevent Mr.. Davis and other Hud-
convention. He was not aware until after tho
date OF the convention had been published
that the association had selected the same day
for its outing.
None OF us knew that fact he continued,
because Hudson county was not represented
at the meeting at which the date Of the conven-
ton was fixed. None Of us had been invited
to the outing. 1t would be undignifed to
change the date now"
Mr.. Davis was out of town. but Thomas l..
higgins, Deputy Collector. said that Mr.. Davis
had authorized him to say that the date Of the
outing would not be changed even II Hudson
county we're not represented at The State Con-
yention In consequence.
The members Of the association said that an
Invitation for the outing was sent TO Mr..
Gourley more than two weeks ago. he
never failed TO attend the outings for years.

invitation for this affair had not reached him.

SHEPARD rs FOR BRYAN NOW.
The Brooklyn Man Explains His Recent
Change OF Heart.

Edward NJ. Shepard. who Is now a good and
loyal follower Of the Kings county Democratic
machine. which is led by the Hon. Hugh
Mclaughlin. gave out a statement yesterday
In which no said that he would vote for Bryan
and Stevenson, and that he considered i'm
perialism the paramount issue OF the cam
paign." Mr.. Shepard has a great many
reasons for his change OF views. which, he sets
forth at length In his statement. He believes
that the policy of expansion Is dangerous,
and he sees a particular danger in the present
Chinese situation. He says that II ia proper
that the military and naval forces OF the United
States should be used for the protection Of
our ministers and citizens. but that because
we occupy the Philippines there is a strong
temptation to seize a portion Of China.
MIR. Shepard says that the Kansas City Con-
vention put great difficulties In the way OF
the support OF its candidates by men who hold
opinions like his, but that the things In the plat
form TO which he Is opposed aren't material.
Mr.. Shepard ends up his statement by saying
that he Is not a candidate for any office. that
he wont attend the conference at Indianapolis,
and that his friends, A. Augustus Healey and
Harrington Putnam, send word from Europe
and the Pacific coast respectively that they
hold opinions which are similar to his.

o. IT. p. BELMONT FOR BRYAN NOW.
He Defines His Position Before Starting Out
for Saratoga.

Perry Belmont, who had a heated discussion
with Col. William J. Bryan In March Of 1899 over
the question OF what constituted a Democrat.
went up 10 Saratoga yesterday TO be present
at the meeting OF the State Committee to-day.
A Mr.. Belmont was going from Thirty-fourth
street TO Forty-second street. on his way TO the
Grand Central station from the Long Island
ferry. he gave out a statement defining his
position in the present campaign. Mr.. Bel
mont was a Gold Democrat in 1896 and presided
at the great Madison square mass meeting at
which W. Bourke Cochran tore Bryan to pieces.
Among other things MIR. Belmont said yester-
day.,
reported a. advising Democrats 70 vote for
Mckinley. Fouf years ago did what ] could
for their candidacy at a time when Federal
finance. coinage and taxation constituted
the supreme Issue. But since then the Mckn-
ley administration and the Republican leaders
and the Senate have made a new and vital
Issue for 1900, That new issue Is well enough
described a. Imp eriahsm. The President asks
the voters not merely to condone but justify
his usurpation OF legislative and judicial powers
In our new islands during the past two years,
II he should be reelected there will be an end
OF the great political experiment based upon
the strict Observance OF our Constitution. There
will eventually disappear the political induce
ments which during the century have trans
ferred some OF the best blood Of the Old World
into the veins of the New. I shall do all that I
can for the success Of the Democratic ticket"
