OLNEY FOR BRYAN
CIeYeland's Secretary of State
Falls in Line.

New York, Sept. 6.-The World prints
q letter from Richard Olney, secretary
of state during the Cleveland admins
tration, in which Mr.. Olney declares his
intentions of supporting Mr. Bryan for
president. After saying that Mr.. Bryan
is hardly the candidate he should choose
if he had his way in the matter and
that he entirely dissents from parts of
the Kansas City platform, Mr.. Olney
says
Perfection in a candidate or platform
is an idle dream and infirmity in its
creed and defects in its leadership will
always characterize every party But
they in nowise excuse a citizen from TAX
ing his assigned part in the government
of the country-from making up his
mind what the common veal demand
and what partyiS success will come
nearer satisfying-and using his inf1u-
ence and casting his vote accordingly.
BE it admitted that the Democratic
party, its pla tform and its candidate
are open to much just criticism, yet ali
things considered would not it's triumph
be the best outcome of the present pres
idential contest?"
Mr.. Olney then criticises the policy of
the Mckinley administration regarding
the Philippines and thinks that country
Will soon find itself in the tolls of a Chi

He concludes: For myself, l find it

look healthy, there seemss to be num-

principal reason has been the very light

relatively higher. Cash demand good.

How United States May Take the
Lead in Exports

Chicago. Sept. 6.-Charles Truax, spec

special instruction of American mer-

report to the executive committee of the
league today. In the report special at

He declared that to make the United
States first of all nations in exports of
manufactured articles, organization and
systematic study of foreign require
ments alone were necessary. In exhibit
tons OF machinery and labor saving de-
vices this country was far and away the
leader, although in the fine and indus
trial arts the Paris exhibition is at least
an equal of the Columbian exhibition.
According to the report, France, Russia,

order stated appeared to have been given
the most favOrs in the way of space. The
space awarded the United States, Mr..
Iruax reported, is wholly inadequate

JERSEY REPUBLICANS
Attribute Prosperity to Tariff and
Gold Standard

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 6.-The New Jer-
sey Republican convention met today
three-fourths of the 826 delegates elected
were in attendance. United States Sen
ator Sewell was made temporary and
subsequently permanent chairman of
the convention The platform after en-
dorsing the platform of the Philadelphia
convention reciteS that the promise of
prosperity as result of the re-enact-
ment of protective tariff legislation and
the maintenance of the gold standard
has found fulf1llment in a condition of
industrial and commercial prosperity
never before equalled, and adds in part:
tBy the Valor of our soldiers and sail
ors in the brief but decisive war with
Spain and by the admirable tact and
wisdom of the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley in the novel and unprece-
denied conditions confronting us as the
result of that war our country has been
raised to a most dignif1ed and command
ing position among the nations of the
earth. Although confronted with the
gravest emergencies that have arisen
since the civil war; the administration of
President Mckinley has assumed every
responsibility and discharged every duty
in a way that has won the approval
of patriotic citizens of all parties.
1--WE believe it is the duty of the pres
ident of the United States to use all the
forces at his command to suppress in
surrection wherever the authority of the
government is opposed and we deprecate
and denounce the recreant Americans
whose abuses of free speech give aid
and encoura cement to insurrection and
rebellion among peoples owing allegiance
to our flag.
when peace shall have been restored
in our new possessions. a Republican
administration, following the traditions
of the party, will give to their people
a government under such form as will
afford them the largest individual par
ticipation that their civilization and in
telligence will permit"
The platform further commendS the
policy of the administration in the east
as furnishing IAN invaluable base for
the distribution of our products at the
very gateway of the Orient, where a
quarter of the population of the earth
is being made accessible to civilizing I'M
f1uences and the needs of commerce"
American diplomacy it asserts, Gin
spired by intelligence and humanity, has
won not only the respect and adrnira-
ton of the world, but also the high
compliment of imitation by the leading
statesmen of Europe, and above all the
confidence of the American people,
After the nomination of presidential
electors Senator J. c. Burrows, of Mich
igan, addressed the delegates, and the
convention adjourned.

Presidential Candidate Nomi-
mated by "National Party"

New York, Sept. 6.-The National
party-the official name Of the third
party-met in convention in Carnegie
hail, this city, and nominated candi-
dates for president and vice president
of the United States. A platform was
adopted and a title and emblem chosen
These are the candidates:
For President-Senator Donelson CAT

For Vice Observation-Disclosures MURRAY
Howe, of Cambridge, Mass
The platform adopted says:
I'VE, citizens of the United States Of
America, assembled for the purpose of
ciples which underlie our government

we lind our country threatened with
alternative perils. On one hand is a
public opinion misled by organized
forces of commercialism that has per-
verted a war intended by the people to
be q war of humanity into a war of
conquest. On the other hand is a pub
lie opinion swayed by demogogic ap-
pealS to fractional and class passions.

We believe that either of these in
6uenceS, if unchecked. would ultimately
compass the downfall of our country.
but we also believe that neither repre-
sents the sober conviction of our coun-
trymen.
Convinced that the extension of the
jurisdiction of the United States for the
purpose of holding foreign people as
colonial dependencies is an innovation
dangerous to our liberties and repugnant
to the principles upon which our gov
eminent is founded, we pledge our eff
forts through all constitutional means:
First. to procure the reconciliation of
all imperial or colonial pretensions with
regard to foreign countries claimed to
have been acquired through or in con-
sequence OF military or naval opera
tons of the last two years.
Second, we further pledge our efforts
to secure a single gold standard and a
sound banking system.
Third, to secure a public service
based on merit only.
Fourth. to secure the abolition of all
corrupting special privileges, whether
under the guise of subsidies, bounties,
undeseI-ved pensions or trust breeding

QUEER INSTRUCTIONS.
PopuIists Instruct Candidate to Help
Defeat Burton.

Senator Helm, the Populist nominee
for the upper house of the Kansas leg
islature, in Ellsworth county, has been
instructed by his party to go into the
Republican caucus and vote against J.
r. Burton in the event there is not a
sufficient number of fusion members to
elect a United States senator.
Similar instructions We're probably
never before received by a Kansas leg
islatOr. Senator Helm has represented
Ellsworth county in the senate for sew
eral years.
Ellsworth county is one of the Bur
ton strongholds- Representative Seaver
was defeated for denomination there a
short time ago because he is a. Baker
man.
If there is no chance to elect a fusion
senator, Senator Helm will take part
in the Republican caucus in favor of
Senator Baker as against ]. r. Burton.
