Everything It ready for tho demonstration in
Madison Square Gnrdon to-nlght to- honor of
the candidates of the Indianapolis sound-money
national Demoeratlo Convention. Gen. John
fMcAuler Palmer, the candidal for President,
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday
afternoon, accompanied br Mn. Palmer and hit
son I.oult. The Palmers had come straight
from their home In Sprlugfteld. ID. Uen. Simon
llolivar lluckner, the candidate forVlco-PretU
dent, arris ed at tho same hotel shortly before
the l'nlmert. Gen. Buckner was acoompanled
by Henry Wntklns, Graham Vreeland, and Mor
ris I). Belknap. The party left Louisville on
Sunday tnornlng. Uen. Buckner was accom
panied to New York by Col. John B, Fellows,
who hat been tusking eonnd-montr speeches In
Kentucky and Tennessee. Gen. palmer, the
candidate for President, had only a few words
to ear for publication. '
' t ennnot," he ald, "speak of the situation
in Illinois with nny degree of accuracy, because
while the horses are ready to trot tho riders are
tint tot up. I nave no plant. I have had a talk
with John De "Witt Wnrner, and when William
I). llynum arrives In Now York to-morrow
morning I am to have further talks. I itm
ready to go where the National Committee re
quests me to so. I would like to go to Alabama
Int.d make speeches there, for the reason that
there are some very same Democrats down In
that State whom I would like to help. There has
been mint suggestion that I attend the Conven
tion In Hrooklyn on Thursday of the sound
money Democrats of the Btato of Now York.
Tills and other matters will bo determined to
morrow. There would be little uso In my at
tempting to make a prediction as to the outcome
of this battle. I do not believe In predictions.
I bellcie In work, and hard work at that, and I
am ready to go wherever the committee sends
me. I will try to Interest the audience at Mad
ison Square Garden to-morrow night. I am In
this fight for the sound-money principles of the
Democratic party, and I am ready and eater to
work hard for that cante."
Sonator Palmer moved as actively nt a youth
of twenty. Ills cheeks were ruddy with health,
and be said ho bad looked forward to his visit
to New York with a Brent deal of pleasure, be
cause, among other features of Interest to him,
he expected to meet n great many of his old
army friends. Senator Palmer was never In
better health, and his seventy-nine yean of vim
made htm yesterday one ot the most Interesting
citizens at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Gen. lluck
ner carried his seventy-three years like a school
boy. Ills corncob pipe scarcely left his lips as
he said that he was glad to be iu N ow York and
meet old friends.
" Do you know." be continued, " who was the
first man who called on me here at the hotel?
No? Well, he was Joseph Meyer, and he was
one uf my cuards when Secretary Stanton sent
me to Fort Warren. I was sentenced to flvo
months' solitary confinement: but Merer was a
mighty good fellow. Do you know, luted to
write poetry In those days of close confinement.
ana every night I used to read it to Meyer. lie
listened very patiently aud I used to say to htm:
'Do yon knnw tbnt you are a mighty good
soldier, because Ifjouwern not yon would cer-
s Uinly desert before you would remain here and
bur me read my poetry to you.' Well. I
u very glad to toe Mr. Meyer. Of
coarse rou know I am cotnc to make a speech
Is tits Madison Square Garden to-morrow night.
M. v-tJltaln. the hands of 'the National Committee,
m and, according to the present proirramme, lam
to leave the meeting; and proceed immediately
to Richmond. After that I may go to Haiti-
more. 1 am following out my convictions In
Jrv this tight and doing what 1 consider to be my
W,. ) duty, and that duty Is to demand good govern-
. nent, which In my estimation can only bent
' j talned and maintained with a sound currency.
H 1 liaiqspoKen In Tennessee, where there werea
i number of fine meetings. It Is true that there
' were some interruptions at the meet
ings from men who did not care to
listen to reason. As a role, however, the ma
jority wanted to hear tho argument for sound
v money. I dd not believe thnt there Is a reason
able chance Of Mr. Bryan's carrying Kentucky.
I know from'thc reports that have come to me
that he has hurt himself In Kentucky. The ob
jections of KentucLlans to Mr. Bryan's speeches
are that he advocates most radical doctrines,
which some have Interpreted to mean insurrec
I tinn and Internecine strife. We have had
' enough of that business down our way. I re
fl that thero la no reasonable chanco that
Bryan is to parry Kentucky."
Col. Fellows said good-by to Gen. Palmer and
Gen lluckner at the hotel. Ho Is to greet
tliem again at the Madison Square meeting to
night. "Both Tennessee and Kentucky," said Col.
Fellows. " will go against Bryan."
' Chairman Hynum of the Sound-money Na

this morning. He will be requested to open the
meeting In Madison Square Garden to-night.

commanding the Anglo-Egyptian expedition up
tho Valley of the Nile, reports that the gun
boats, whloh wero first to arrive at Dongola,
found only a few dervishes thero. the main
body of them having withdrawn. Gen. Kltch

Blahnra, tho leader ot the Dervishes, calling
upon him to surrender nnd offering to pardon
himself and his followers It they will lay down
their arms.
The casualties on board tho gunboats In the
fight at El Hn.llr yesterday were one mun killed
and twelve uounded.

years ago that the people of Dongola were cast
ing longing eyes toward Egypt. Their province
was entlroly devastated by tho wild Dervishes
whom thn Khalifa sent thero In the early days
of his power, and tho Donagln. became thor

Khalifa Abdullah has been chief! v the dissen

shown here Is all desert, except a narrow fringe
along the river and the Islands, some of them

I was a good day's work, and there the army
bivouacked for the night, the dervishes, who
could be seen on bjth sides of the river, adding

Then tho dervishes collected In tho forts at

Tho letter written by John Boyd Thsoher, tho
candidate for Governor of the Buffalo Conven
tion, seems to suit nobody. Elliot Danforth,
Chairman nt the Popocrntlo State Committee
was at the Hoffman Hoaso last evening. He
had hunted all day for headquarters. The Popo
crats at tho Hotel Bartholin had Invited the
new State Committee to tako up headquarters
with them. The offer was declined with thanks.
Mr, Danforth believes that he has secured
apartments on tho fourth floor of 10 East
Twenty-third street, and then again If that falls
he may be nblo to secure headquarters In the
old barroom of the Hoffman House on West
Twenty fourth street, Mr. Danforth was
with Sonator Hill at Wolfert's Boost
on Snnday night Just nftcr Mr. Thacher
Istued his letter from Albany. Mr. Danforth
did not care to say anything about tho Thacher
letter. Ho smiled, though, whon he said that It
undoubtedly had complicated the situation.
Railroad Commissioner Samuel A. Beardslry,
and Charles It. Do Treest, the clerk of tho old
State Committee, wero also not talkative, but
all hands had a shrug and n gt In, and n few had
curses fnr the letter. It was the universal opin
ion of those who seemed to bo conversant with
the facts thnt. Mr. Thacher showed his letter to
Senator Hill before he Issued It for publication,
and that Its purpose was to secure. It possible,
the endorsement for Thacher ot tho sound
money State Democrats at their Convention In
tho Brooklyn Academy of Muslo on Thursday.
It was not believed for an Instant that Mr.
Thacher will get what ho Is after. Edward M.
Shepard, ono of the most influential members
of the Sound-money Democratic State Organi
sation, made tho following statements con
cerning Thacher's letter:
' It makes no change In the situation except
to add to tho reasons why Mr. Thacher should
not be accepted by Thurdny's Convention. Mr.
Thacher snys ho Is against the money nlnnk In
the Chicago platform, but he will vote for Bryan
and Siwall. Mr. Bryan says that he Is for
the whole platform. The platform is for repu
diation and for several other grave public evils
which Mr. Thacher does not ocpose In
his letter to-day. Mr. Thachor's letter
should secure for him the tmsnlclon of
the Buffalo party and they should over
whelm him nt thu polls. In my opinion It has
made him simply Impossible to the Convention
of Thursday, and h as Increased tho reasons why
the National Democratic, party should oppose
the Hill organization, and all local organiza
tions acting with it, with a full set ot honest
money candidates for State. Congressional, and
Assembly ofllccs, against every dlihonest money
candidate or only hair honest money candidate
prouosed for thoe positions by the Buffalo
Jiarty or lis bran-lies In any part of the State. I
eel sure the Contention will take this view of
tbo case, because It is plain thnt It ought to
tako It."
Senator Thomas F. Grady, who was temporary
Chairman of the Huflalo Convention, said:
"Ido not like Mr. Thacher's vlewe on the
money question. I think that If he had uttered
them before the Convention he would not have
got the nomination."
So, It would appear from these conversations
that Mr. Thacher has offended both the sound
money men and the advocates uf the Chicago
platform which was endorsed by the Buffalo
Convention.
Chairman Danforth said that be expected
Senator Hill to come to New York to-day. The
Popocratlo State Committee Is to meet at tho,
, noCseH3feisa to.nlffhtand'recommendio the
Papocratto National Committee the selection of
Frank Campbell of Bath to be National Com
mitteeman In place of William F. Sheehan. It
was Intimated that the Thacher letter might
come up for discussion at the meeting of the
State Committee to-night. It was recalled that
a number of speakers In the Buffalo Conven
tion who said they believed heart and soul In
the Chicago platform, wero opposed to the
nomination of Thacher. They told how he had
made a sound-money speech at the Saratoga
State Convention on June a, and how by no
utterance on the part of Thacher from the day
the Chicago National Convention adjourned
had he withdraw n his Saratoga views. Senator
Grudy, speaking for Tammany Hall In the Con
vention, assured all these speakers that John
Boyd Thacher was an honest man and a Demo
crat of honest convictions.
"Some men have to tell where thoy belone."
continued Mr. Grady to the Convention, " but
we always know where to find John Boyd
Thacher.''
Mayor Magulreof Syracuse. Judge Downs of
Broome county, and a number of otbers. pro
tested vigorously against Thacher's nomination
and spoke for Sulzcr. declaring that all knew
where be htood. On the assurances uf Senator
Grady, however, and of Cleveland's Internal
Keronue Collector, Louis W. Prntl of Albany,
who put Thacher In nomination In the
Convention, that Timelier was all right and
that there would bn no trouble with him on the
silver question, the Convention went ahead and
nominated Thacher. Mr. Thacher's letter de
monstrates, according to those familiar wlththe
facts, that the minority In the Convention op
posed to him were buncoed in this matter Just
as they were buncoed In ntber matters In the
Convention. The sound-money Democrats of
the State, who are to have their Convention on
Thursday night, declare that they will have
nothing whatever to do with Thacher. For
that matter. Democrats who attended the Buf
falo Convention any that Thacher occupies a
most uuovinblo position and one that Is any
thing but beneficial to bis reputation.
The deep disgust which enveloped Tammany's
delegatlou at Buffalo, nnd which spread tttolf
over the entire organization ns tho result of the
Stito Convention, was added to by Ihe letter,
and found expression In words at n, meeting of
tho Tammany campaign speakers yesterday
afternoon. Something like a proposition to bolt
Thachur's nomination was made. So angry
were the wigwam leaders that they left Thach
er's name out of tholr call for primal y elec
tions which was drafted by tho Exucutlve Com
mittee, and a proposition was discussed to ig
nore or else denouueo him In the resolutions to
be adopted ut a meeting of the General Com
mittee to-morrow night. On all hands
was heard tho declaration that Senator
Hill had sold John C. Sheehan a gold
brick when he got tbo Tammany leader to agree
to support Thacher In tho Convention. Tho
Tammany lenders feel specially aggrieved be
cause, having put themselves on record unequiv
ocally for free silver: coinage and all the other
Queer things In tho Chicago platform, they felt
that their nominee for Governor should sub
scribe as freely to the same Isms. They had
been led in believe that he would and he didn't,
and the Sheehan crowd are afraid Tammunv
may nut get the freo silver vote which It will
need If there is any and If Its returns are not
to be ridiculous on election night.;
Tho first open outbreak against Thacher oc
curred at a meeting of the Tammany volunteer
orators, held in the room of the Committee on
Organization, yesterday afternoon. Chairman
Maurice B. DlumcHthal was presiding, and the
speakers were dincusslng the best way of pre
senting the campaign Issues on thn stump, when
Benjamin Patterson of tho Ninth announced
that under no circumstances would lie snyn word
favorable to the candldncr of Timelier for Guv
ornor. He said that Thacher hud bten nomi
nated only to bet'ay the unity Unit nominated
him.
Several men tried to shut Patterson up with
points of order, but beseemed to have the sym
pathy of thu crowd, and chairman Bluineutbul
permitted him to have his say.
After he got through Senator Foley and Civil
Justice ltoesch tried to smooth matters over by
suggesting that the question of bolting or sup
parting u candidate was not u function of n
unrepresentative body of speakers, but should
be attended to by the regularly constituted com
mittees nf a party. This provoked n resolution
for thu appointment of a committee of Hvo to
walton the Popncrat Stale Committee at ita
meeting to-night and present the objections to
the candidacy of Thaoher, The motion was
voted down.
While this little comedy was In progress down
stair the Executive Committee of leaders up
stairs was also discussing Mr. Thacher and his
letter. It was decided to leave his name out ot
the call for primaries and to ask the Committee
on Organization at Us meeting In the evening
to appoint a committee (in resolutions to pre
pare something for tho General Committee
meeting on Wednesday night which may not
be pleasant rending for Albany's Mayor.

George W. Hunkltt presided at tho meeting uf
the Committee on Organization In the evening
Tho call for primaries prepared In the afternoon
was read. They will be held In all the Assembly
(.Is.rlrts next Monday night. Thacher's name
was left out, as had been agreed, aud as will be
seen from the following excerpt:

Before adjourning Mr. Sheehan announced
the Bryan mats meeting to be held on next

"the grandest demonstration In the history ot

plause was not lively or general.
Coroner Fittpatrlck complained that some
little box-like structures which had been
erected In the mtetlng room, had crowded the
representatives ot his district out of their ac
customed seats, and he wanted tn know the
reason why. Ho learned that thn lessee nt

tour from Lincoln to Mndlsnn Squaro Garden,
New York, to rccelso too notification of tho na
tional silver party, thoro was a, btg demonstra
tion. In the evening thero was a torchlight
procession. People wondered at tho number
of horsemen In line. It was said at the time
thnt the employees of tho penitentiary nnd
State Hospital for the Incurable Insano, both
of which Institutions nro under the control ot
the Populist Gov. Holcomb, made up a
part of the parade, but It was not known until

Cartes at th Fopocratlc Ileadqaarttr,
WAsntxaioft, Sept. 31. Signals of distress
wero flying from Popocratlo headquarters to
day, owing to tbe cold and clammy hand 'that
Candidate Ilrynn laid upon the enthusiasm of
omo ot the national and local veterans who are
fighting under the free-silver banner. In other
words, Candidate Bryan, while In this city on
Saturday and yesterday, startled some of his
most ardent and faithful followers by de
claring. In response to some of tbolr well
intended suggestions, that he Is destined
to occupy tho White House, after tt)o 4th of
March next, nnd he expects that cud to be
accomplished without the old ot party organi
sation or any of the ordinary methods employed
In political campaigns. He scorned all sug
gestions made to him by veterans In past cam
paigns and laughed at friendly Intimations thnt
he might be carrying the sentimental Idea too
fnr. Several ot the most active workers In the
Popociatlc vineyard endeavored to give him an
account of their stewardthlu up to date, and
they were mortified beyond exprettlon when lie
dismissed them with an air of indifference thnt
sent chills creeping down their burden-bent
backs. He disputed the wisdom of their actions,
nnd remarked that he bus no faith tn what la
termed practical politics, which was a severe
rehuko to those who fully expected to recslv
from him a " Well done thou good and faithful
servant" salutation.
The managers at th various Bryan headquar
ters Instil uted lodgosof torrow to consider the
manydinicultlesanddltappotntraents that have
come upon them In the past few days. Two
griefs In particular commanded their attention,
one being the conduct of Candidate Bryan, and
tho other the declaration of John Boyd Thacher,
the Demoeratlo candidate for Governor of New
York, for tho gold standard. Instead of Inspir
ing courage among his managers, Mr. Bryan,
In bis brief visit to Washington, has caused
disappointment and deep bitterness of spirit.
It would havo been hard to find a
more disgusted lot of politicians than those
who gathered tn tho council chambers of the
silver Democracy to-day. The man who wrote
that "hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned" evidently never run across a politi
cian who had his advice, labor, and sugges
tions Ignored by the candidate whom he was
trying to serve. It has leaked out that Mr.
Bryan, durlnc bis brief stay In this city, politic
ly but firmly told the politicians who thronged
about him with suggestions and advice that he
wanted none ot their assistance.
If a candidate ever believed himself to bo a
man of destiny, that candidate Is William Jen
nings Bryan, as several prominent Demoeratlo
politicians here can testify. He Informed those
leaders who called upon him and offered their
advice tbnt he was not looking lo them for help,
but that be bad Implicit faith lu his own elec
tion, and that he was the chosen of the people.
He declared that he was leading the people's
cause, and would follow his own couvictfons
and own Ideas as to how the contest should be
waged. Ho expressed contempt for ordinary
political methods, and declared hla belief tbnt
his election would be accomplished without the
aid of political machinery.
Mr. Bryan was remonstrated with for wasting
so much time In the East, and some of his
managers are becoming alarmed over the con
dition of the campaign in Stales where thcr Is
some hope of Dnmocra.Ho success. . They.wanv
-BUnWurfiVle mure nfio lo tie middle WZttmra
States and lo let the East alone. This advice
was rejected by the candidate, who told the
leaders In effect that he knew what be was
about, aud that he believed that he could carry
New York. He imagines himself a veritable
Moses, and belle es that h has been chosen to
lead tho peoplo out of bondage. Proffers of as
tl'tance ot various characters wero either qulet-
lr lt-nnred nr miAnlv relprtMl
This attitude of the free-silver candidate was,
therefore, the cause of consternation and In
dignation at headquarters to-day. There was
every effort made lo conceal their chagrin, but
some of tbem could not refrain from express
ing tbelr opinion of apolitical candidate who
would not accept every offer of legitimate help
that was made lo him. One of the veterans at
headquarters to-day said :
"This is tho most peculiar situation that I
ever knew. I have hern In practical politics all
my life, nnd was taught, and still believe, that
everything honorable, at least, should be used
lo advance the party's Interests. No offer of
help Is loo small to be Ignored. This blind re
liance In fate. irovldence, or whatever you
might call It. and the candidate's idea that his
election Is foreordained. Is a new departure In
politics as I have known them. We certainly
did our best to make Mr. Bryan's appearance
hern a success, and conceived the Idea that he
would be glad to hear suggestions regarding the
campaign."
The managers hero have evidently bad tbe
same experience with Candidate Bryan that
Chairman Jones had at ihe beginning of the
campaign, when Mr. Bryan took the bit in his
teelli aud selected the headquarters city and
laid out his own speechmuklng tour. The
Democrats here had an idea they were dealing
with au ordinary political candidate, but since
tbey have discovered that Mr. Bryan puts not
his trust in princes or politicians, but rests his
hope of election antlrely upon the desire of the
people to make htm President, there Is a per
ceptible decrease In the enthusiasm that had
been worked up at headquarters prior to the
candidate's arrival In this city.
.The second event that caused lamentation In
tho free-silver lodges to-day was the letter of
Mr. Thacher. the Gubernatorial candidate of
the New York Democracy, lu which he declares
for the gold standard. It was not altogether
thn languugo of grier thnt was beard within tbe
lodge rooms, otherwise Bryan headquarters,
bnt curies deep nnd emphatic relieved tbe
feelings of men like Senator Stewart and Sena
tor Tillman. Mr. Thacher was called by snch
pet names as "thief," "traitor," "cheat." Ac,
and the opinion was freely expressed Hint he
betrayed the Bryan crowd In Now
York. If there had ever been the
least shadow nf hope among the Bryan
mnnngers here that New York could br carried
for their candidate. It has been dispelled by the
Thacher letter. Senator Stewart was In u white
heat uf Indignation this afternoon, and declared
thnt this letter ended all chance fnr llrrau or
free silver In thu Statu of New York. Senator
Tillman wus cquully emphatic in his denuncia
tion of Mr. Thacher's declaration, nnd gate It
as his nplnlou that his nw n pui tlcular old enemy.
David If. Hill, hnd Inspired the letter.
Altogether It was a most unhnppy day for the
Democrats and brought a decided chill to tbelr
cnmpalgn, which has less than six weeks to run.
It wna suggested at headquarters here to-day,
that th National Committee should take ihe
matter up and Insist that a free-silver Demo
cratic ticket be put In the field tn New York.
