J . J the vslus ot the Island, nnd ho did not bollove
if I $ that ho or his associates on tho commission
'j V would bo ablo to llnlsh their business before

V t there wis very little to add to what Ins already
' ,i boon, mads publlo concerning; tho nomination of
R I :: Both Loir by the handful of Citizens' Union
'I people In Now York.
I S Thero were a number of persons yesterday
L i Who said that the declaration of tho ltepubll-
f ) cans, that they would not accept Mr. Low as
f tkslr candidate, was more or less bluff, and they
' ;; 9 J pointed out that the llepubllcan lenders who
j! r or dow In opposition to Mr. Low protested
1 j H ,j j against the nomination of Mr. Strong as
teg i Stayor of New York and tho nomination of
if R t Mr. MoKlnloy as tbo candidate of the Re-
h) 3 j publican National Convention, and In the end ao-
!' ; cspted them. It was the universal comment of
: ft H ' , those conversant with the facts that the Hepub-
. i"(3 f loans who were In opposition to Mr. Strong nnd
jj S . J4r. MoKlnloy had a perfect right to make their
'1' IHK ' Wishes known and to make a fight torcandl-
i U aMP ttates other than Mr. Strong nnd Mr. Mo
ffiV 3 R Slsleyt but it was remarked that when
V I Rf JK Mr. Strong and Mr. McKlnloy were noml-
I ' v Hi I ttated no honorable Republican could oppose
I ) !',"' I their eleotion, for the reason that their records
J , ' ' m to national policies were straight. Neither
!, I! Jlr. Strong nor Mr. McKlnlcy had ever deserted
Si , (' tho Republican party or Its national platforms,
f j ' I J; and, while Republicans had a right to stand by
i- I , their respective candidates before nominations
I ;' i KV were made, they had no right to oppose the
1 k i '!. election of these two gentlemen when they were
i t jRjj' nominated.

; r- JM?' Views In municipal campaigns, had resigned
'' !Bi- from his ward organization in llrooklyn becauso
j t "Bji- he could not support the national policies of
i iv 'imb' the Republican party. To uinke this plainer,
i v vbs' copies were supplied of Mr. lxiw's letter, in

'' lssm distinctively a munUlpal factor because he

c4- 'K, Cnunnlnff Frvthingham, A.'ifl , Stcrttary.
rWV "Skakir: I herewith tendermy resignation
ti asnmemhi'r of tho First Ward Republican As-
fE todation. 1 do so becauso I am unable to sup-
'p port the party upon tho platform recently
jK adopted at Chicago. I bellove in protection to
jJJJP this country as a means to an end. I glory In
rK9 the results achlevod under it in the Inst tnenty-
im-, five years, but to my mind tho signs are many
1 !,Bj that in not a few directions protection here has
;: cone its perfect work and is now doing harm.
; Therefore I believe In a revision of the tariff
(Mii upon principles directly opposed to the Chlcaao
; platform.
-5 "I had hoped the Republican party would it-
IM self undertake to remodel the tariff upon lines
: that would gradually transfer the industries of
im ", the nstlqn from nn artlticlul to n rational basis.
; r I hellevn that .such a course is demanded by the
m at :,'H true Interests of labor. Tho policy actually out-
Kilf fined seems to me full of danger to the country.
P i v The higher and the tighter the dam In made
S the crester the destruction when the flood
, breaks through, and I cannot believe that a
t, -' country so large as the United States can be
I. K . permanently held aloof from the great trade
K Mi movements ot the outside world.
t '4m U,r(maJn.iqympatby with the Republican
FeVr party as to many points, and especially am I in
t$?.3K line with them as to State mutters; but lnns-
"', much-ael feel compelled at the present time to
ifijB', be controlled by tho foregoing considerations, I
it doem it proper to place my resignation at the
4iK I disposal of toe associat Inn. Respectfully,
K -. r'SEm Low."
flBsWV President Harrison bad Just been nominated
i - V ssbS "7 t&8 Chicago Con ventlon when Mr. Low wrote
j :, f-saal 1 '"' letter. He declined to take part in the
t.-fB-. I Slalne campaign ot 1834 because he said he
1 1 i r sssliT did not bellevu that a non-partisan Mayor
i'fjLXwj. should take part In a national fight. All of the
1- IsnWsmi' Republican leaders ot those days In Brooklyn
'. ssnTtanWt f begged Mr. Low to make speeches In the State for
' BIK Mr. Blaine. The Republican State Committee
?msw)iy cfthat day sent a number of emissaries to Mr.
if Bfj' Low, telling him that he could bo of vast service
I LssU'. to the Republican party if he would make a fow
?,H-' speeches for Mr. Blaine in the Mobawk Valley.
I (K. Mr.' Low declined to do so, because, as he ex-
X -''; plained at the time, ho did not believe that
k Ir'lilL municipal affairs should bo brought into a na-
' IrHgr tlonal campaign.
jjiBlf' The Ropublican Organization of Oroater New
ikI, TOTlc,itwas then said, cannot accept or noml-
KBbO. nate or Indorso in any fashion Mr. Low, for tho
U'sWh' reason that all political organizations In all
jb campaigns, municipal. State, ward, nnd county,
' iliHssS have from the foundation of political parties in-
bKf norsed the national platforms of the respective
'iMv parties. Tammany Just at the moment is
ipmrni I7in t dodge the Chicago platform of
yEM, 18?i, Asa matter of fact, tbo rank

" iKMf doreement of that national platform, becauso
t OLVtl til Tammany since its beginning in 1780 has In-
ftfV R oorsed the national platforms of the Democratlo
ti ft t111 all, campaigns, city, county, and State.
I ? I IS "be Republicans, also, from the foundation of
: b S E their party, early in the fifties, havo always
1 f til IK done the same, nnd Mr. Low. a backslider on

on the steamship Saale from a trip In Europe
He was a,ccompanled.by Ms wlfe.and children
and was enthusiastically received by a big party
of his friends, who went down to .Quarantine on
the steamer Mohawk to greet him. The recep

NO THIRD TICKET IN QtTAT'S STATE
nad-Honey Dsmoeratle Mate Committee no
JecU a Conference! Plan.
PniLADEi.rniA, Sept. 2. There will be no
third State ticket In Pennsylvania this fall,
although It was decided at a conference ot the
leading Sound-Money Democrats In Pennsylva
nia at the Hotel Walton this afternoon, by a
vote of 38 to 34, to recommend to
the State Commttteo of Jeffersonlnn Demo
crats that a convention bo called and a
Sound-Monoy DemOcratlo ticket nominated.
The members of the State Committee
who participated In the conference were from
various parts of the State. J. Murray Rush ot
Delaware county offered a resolution embody
ing the proposition to place a third tloket In the
field. Robert E. Wright of Allentown. ex
Chairman of the Domocratlo State Committee,
offered opposing resolutions.
After n protracted discussion the resolutions
of Mr. Wright wero rejected, and the proposi
tion of Mr. Itush to recommend a third ttckot
was adopted by a margin of 4 votes.
After the adjournment of the conference the
Jeffersonlnn State Committee was convened,
with every Congress district in the State repre
sented except the Twenty-eighth. A vote was
taken, and the recommendation to nominate a
third ticket was rejected by a vote of 27 to 10.
J. Murray Rush made a motion that the resolu

there by a vote of 30. to 35, he adopted as the
senso ot the committee. This was carried

WARNER MILLER'S WATERLOO.

tlon r a Vote or o ta ao.
Utioa, 8ept. 2. The ITerkimer county Repub
licans held their convention to-day at Herkimer
village and It was interesting, aside from the
nominations, from the fact that It demonstrated
the strength of the Sheard organization and
the lamentable weakness of tho following ot
Warner Miller, For the past month or two
there has been tho bitterest kind of fighting be
tween the two factions, and each claimed suffi
cient strength to control the convention. The
Sheard men were better organized, nnd, being
in power, had called the cauouses of Tuesday
at plaoes where their Interests would be
best cared for. In this way the voters
at Illon, whera the Remington works are
located, were obliged to go to a far end
of the town, but thev turned out In force and de
feated tho Sheard delegate. At the convention
to-day the entire Sheard slate was named, the
vote standing 40 to 20 as divided between the
factions. E. La Grange Smith was nominated
for member of Assembly after a contost with
another Shoardlte. The other nominees are:
Sheriff. Daniel F. Strobel; County Clerk, D. M.
Richardson: District Attorney. It. A. Decoster;
Superintendent of the Poor; George IL Ciller.
It Is believed tho Miller men will support the
ticket.

Although all the members of the Citizens'
Committee ot Fifty had boon invited to meet
with the Organization Committee in the Brook
lyn Library last night, only eight members were
present. Civil Service Commissioner Jackson
Wallace presided.
After the meeting Mr. Wallace said that the
committee had discussed ways and means ot
creating public sentiment In favor of Both Low.
The commttteo will also arrango, Mr.
Wallace said, for a mass meeting to
be held at the Academy of Mnsto
at an early date. He also announced that the
first Low bannor would be swung to the broezo
across Montague street to-day.
Tho committee, evidently Intending to test
public sentiment still further, suggested
that It might be well to send postal
cards to tho voters whoso names are on
tho registry list for 1800, nsklng them to state
whether they will support Mr. Low at the com
ing election. Mr. Wallace said that thlsnould
cost about 87,000 and tho Flnanco Committee
would have to pnBs upon tho matter before the
expenditure could be undertaken.

Indianai-oms, Sept. 2. The Executive and
Advisory committees of the Indiana Bimetalllo
Leaguo and free-silver men from various parts
of tho State held a conference hero to-day and
took the preliminary steps In the campaign of
1808. Chairman Clark of the league presided,
and a number of speeches wero made; The
speakers declared that tho Democratic farmers
and laboring men are as solid for free sllvor as
they wore last fall, and that the sentiment is in
creasing In nil parts of the State. Tho speakers
reported that farmers, stimulated by the price
of wheat, are doubling their sowing this fall,
and the Inevitable consequence will be as great
an overproduction next year ns shortage this
year, and a consequent drop In the price. '
After the conference the Executive and Ad
visory committees hold a meeting and deter
mined to establish a literary bureau and send
free-silver literature Into all the counties of the
State. Local clubs are to bo established in all
tho counties, and during the winter free-silver

Tammany lender ! That Tky Will Follow
the (tepnbllean Cunvrntlon CIslJ-tre
ana KITorls to Avoid m nenmrmatlon or the
Cklraso Plairbrm-Purroy lo Bo Rxsellrd.
Now that tho nntl-Tammnny organizations
have agreed to hold tholr city conventions on
tho night of Sept. 2", Tammany Leader John C.
Sheehan has concluded that the tlmo has come
when tho Democrats enn begin lo talk defi
nitely about tho dates for holding their nomi
nating conventions. Ho announced yesterday
that tho Dcmocrntlc lh-otlslonal City Commit
tee, of which ho Is Chairman, has been called to
meet nt tho Hoffman Houto this ovenlng, when
the tlmo fur holding tho convention will bo set
and action taken toward securing n suitable
place for holding it. Tho committee consists ot
one representative from each ot tho five bor
oughs, with Chairman Sheehan and Socretary
Jnmos E. MofTott of Brooklyn added. It Is a
sub-commlttco of tho Democratlo Conference
Commltteo representing tho Grooter New York.
That commlttoo will meet early next week, Mr.
Sheehan said, and ratify tho action ot the Pro
visional City Committee.
"Our convention will probably be calledtfor a
day or two later than the date tho Republicans
havo docldcd on," said Mr. Shcohan. The
Republicans will hold tholr convention on Tues
day night, Sept. 28, and It Is llkoly that tho
Tammany City Convention will not be held until
Saturday night, Oct. 2, It was said yesterday.
Tho reason for this wan said to be tho probabil
ity that the Republicans will not make nomina
tions on tho night their convention assembles,
but nppolnt a committee to confer with elmilar
committeos from tho other nnli-Titmmany con
ventions with a view to uniting on a ticket to
bo numed by nil (lie conventions Htn later date,
perhaps on Wednesday or Thurlny.
Chulniian Jamct U. Truman ot tlio Campaign
Committee of tho Democratic State Commltteo
bad n talk with lender bhechnn yesterday. He
comes from lIlnKhamton, nnd a fow weeks ago
declared uiiqiialllledly in favor of tho State
Committee reatllrmlng every plank In tho Chi
cago platform. After his talk with Mr. Shco
han, CliHlriuaii Truman said:
Tho sentiment up tho State, particularly In
my neighborhood, demands a renlllrumllnn of
tho Cnicugn platform, but I fancy that if tho
members of tlio rommlttco from Now York and
Kings counties insist that there shall bo noth
ing raid about the platform, tho members from
up the State will acquiesce. Wo all rccognlzo
tho Importance of tho coming election In this
city and do nut wish to do anything which will
injuro Dcmoeratlu chances. If, however, a
resolution Is offered at tho meeting of the com
mittee declaring that tlio porty stand by the
Chicago platform, I shall vote, fur It."
It is pretty evident from Mr. Truman s
rhungo of base that tho Tammany leaders aro
begging tho country members of tbo State Com
mittee to evndo tho lsucs on which tho party
went to defeat last yoer. Mr. Truman said
thnt tho State Committee will probably tako
notion looking to the expulsion of County Clerk
Henry I). Pun-ay, mombcr from theTwonty
tlrst Assombly district, becauso of his partlcl-
intlon In the unll-Tnmmany conferences at the
ilanhattun Hotel and tho Aetor House.
It was ascertained at Tammany Hall yester
day that the commltteo from tho Deaiocrntio
Alliance, bcadod by Moses Oppcnhelmer,
which rnlled on Loader Shcchon on Wednesday,
demanded admisdon to tho Greater New York
Democratic conference, so that they might
havo something to say about the platform to be
adopted and tho candidates to be nominated
for Mayor, Comptroller, and President of tho
Council. Tho commltteo Is Inrtructed to re-
Sort to tho Alliance nt Its meeting to bo held nt
1 East Fourth strict on next Monday night,
Mr. Sheehan put them off, however, and It is
not known yet if their demands will receive any
consideration
Tbo oxpulslon of Mr. Purroy from the State
Coinnilitce.it was s.iid jesterday. Is fully de
cided on, nnd Commissioner Louis T. Haffen. of
the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards, has
been selected to succeed him.
Leader Sheehnn was waited on yesterday by a
delegation of llrooklyn Bryonltes. who urged
on him the advisability ot the nomination of
Justice William J. Oaynor of tho Supremo
Court ns the Democratlo ch ndldate "or Mayor.
Tammany has Issued its regular pamphlet
containing Instructions to voters. It has some
I new features, owing to the new otllcera to be
voted for under tho Greater Now York charter
The Jim Oliver end of tho Prosrcsslve Demo
I cratle league Is keeping up the fiction of lndo-
Fendent organization In order to aid Tammany
all to hoodwink the men in the Democratic
I part who believe that the Chicago platform
should be put forward as the guiding rule of
Democratlo faith and practice In the com
ing campaign. A so-called conference com
mittee ot the Oliver faction met last
night with another commltteo of tho Working
men's Political League (another Tammany an
nex) and a commlttoo of tbo longshoremen's
organization, which Is another namo for part of
tho Tammany Hall Genoral Committee of tho
Third Assembly district. Tho tinsmiths wero
also represented by n delegation. Just what
their connection is with Tammany could not be
lenrned. Tho meeting wns held nt Bricklayers'
Hall. In East Twenty-fourth street.
There was much talk of compelling Tammany
to stand by the Chicago platform, but this will
not bother the delegates to the conference very
much If their candidates for minor places on
the Tammany ticket are nominated.

Klondlker, tlio twits havo plenty to do. It is
estimated that there are 3,000 horses now at
Dyea and Skagway, and half as many more will
bo soul in this fnll to Incumber tho trails.
At Dyea fairly goo I progress is being made in
crossing tho .Summit and ruaehlug tho lakes,
nnd It Is thought that from 1,000 to 1,500 raon
will be ablo to accomplish tho trip In seasonable
time by that routo. Next to Seattle, tho llttlo

tho Klondike mines than any other nlnce. Early
last season, the logging business being dull, the

Bonanza creeks, w here these men took up claims
and have since sent out at various times gold
amount lug to $200,000, Dick Mercer making
$60,000 nnd Victor Lord $17,000. while Jim

To-night Willis Thorpe nnd his two sons will

A despatch from Limn, Peru, announces that

COLnxintjB, O., Bept, 2. Tho conference of coal
operators and miners that met In this city to-day
will probably corns to nothing. Tbo meeting
was held behind closed doors. It Is known that
the Pittsburg operators offered the miners
04 cents a ton pending arbitration, the arbi
tration to he based upon a minimum of CO cents
a ton. Eighty per cent, of the Pittsburg opera
tors were paying 51 cents a ton before the strike
so that the operators offered an advance of six
cents as a minimum price, and four rents addi
tional whllo tho question Is being arbitrated.
Tho minors w am c I cunts ns a minimum price
and to arbitrate a rate between 04 and GO cents
before any work Is done. The question Is to be
submitted to tlio miners.
Tho conference adjourned to-night to meet to
morrow morning. One of the minors' committee
said to-night that tho conforonce was nothing
but talk, nnd would likely end that way. The
operators decln.ro they have mado their final
oiler. Thu miners' committee met to-night, nnd i
It looks as If they would tnkoamoro radical

Matrimony lugsestod by I-eader Freeman as
an Antidote ! strikes.
Tho veitmakers in Now York, Brooklyn, and
Brownsville went on strike with sudden una
nimity yesterday morning. The strike was or
dered at a lato meeting held In Walballa Hall
on Wednesday evening, which lasted until the
small hours of yesterday morning. About 7,000
are Involved In the strike. Something like 4,500
went out yesterday and tho romalnder are to go
to-day.
Tho strike seemed to be the result of a sudden
Impulse. James Freeman, who Is looked upon
as the organizer of the vestmakers, had boon In
Washington for several months. He received
word that the organized vestmakers were In
bad shape, nnd came back to seo about it- There
are thrcu locals of vestmakers, ono of which Is a
Knights of Labor Assembly, the second a branch
of tho Socialist Trado and Labor Alliance, nnd
the third an Independent union. One of tho
locals had only eight members, but In a day or
two 500 were enrblled, and a day ortwolator,
according to Freeman, the membership in
creased to over a thousand, the other locals In
creasing In tho same way. Then tho Walballa
Hull meutlng was called and the strike ordered.
The strikers met yesterday In Liberty Hall,
257 East Houston street. One-bulf of the
strikers were girls, and the girls wero more
numerous than the men at the mass meeting.
Leader Freeman said that whllo there was
every evidence of a revival In trade, the vest
makers were still earning starvation wages.
This was the reason thoy struck in a hurry.
"Tho Western papers say," ho said, "that
there are 0.000 Western buyers in New York
filaclng orders for clothing. The suits of cloth
ng which six months ago were sold for $00 a
dozen wholesale are now selling for 70 nnd $75.
The contractors said they could not holpus. and
some of thorn begged us to order the striko to
get tho manufacturers to advance prices. Men
are earning $0 or $8 a week, working sixteen
nnd eighteen hours a day in sweatshops, who
eight uors ago could make $20 and $25 a week.
Tho girls make $4 or $5 a week."
The women, he said, were pulling, wages
down. If the men did the work nnd the women
became housekeepers. It would be better for all.
"The girls who expect to bo the wives ot
operators." he said, ''are now competing with
them for work because the men c .nt afford to
marry. If all these girls were married, there
would be a demand for workers. The girls
would have nothing to do but keep house, and
all would be better off. But we must get tho
wages up before tho men can afford to marry."
Freeman went on to say that tbo vestmakers
were paid least of all the garment workers.
This was because It is easier to learn vestmak
ins than to miko coats or trousers.
The regular headquarters of the vestmakers
after to-morrow will be at 114 Cannon street.
Tho demands (Till be prepared to-day or to-morrow.

The headquarters of the United Brotherhood
of Cloakmakere at 100 Rlvlngton street were
filled all day yesterday with cloakmakers who
came to bo enrolled. Up to the beginning of the
strikes it was suppose that there were only
about 12,000 cloakmakers altogether in the
Metropolitan District- Now the books show a
membership of 15,000 and more are expected to
be enrolled.
"If the members would continue to pay their
dues and remain In the union after the strikes
are over." sold Secretary Rosenburg yesterday,
" we would not hare to strike again. Tho threat
of a geueral strike would be enough. But trade
Is good now, and when all the strikes are won
and the people working they will cea6o to pay
their dues nnd the union will go to pieces again."
The employees of A. Popkin & Co., Broadway
and Grand street, 500 In number, nnd IX. B.
Claflin & Co., Church and Worth streets, 600 In
number, wont on st'Iue yesterday for an ad
vance In wages. II. B. Claflin & Co. had prom

MAXUFACTUUERB STILT, FIRM.
The Ctrarelle Girls' Threat or a Co-operative
Factory Doe JCet Scare Them.
The striking cigarette girls announced yester
day that they were preparing to give a ball at
their headquarters, Harmonia Hall, 138 Ludlow
street, early next week In aid of their plan to
start a cooperative factory. Abraham Toner,
tho lender of tho strike, was authority for the
statement that a friendly capitalist was willing
to lend $2,000 to start the cooperative factory,
but his name was not to be mentioned. The
offer, Tonoreald, wns not necepto I,
" We prefer to start it ourselves," he said.
"Fifty dollars will start us and give work to
about twenty men and girls for a week. Then
twonty mora can start, and In a few weeks wo
will bo able to start them nil."
Toner's face did not Indicate that ho felt as
cheerful as bis words. Tho manufacturers, so
far, do not seem to be scared at the threat ot
opening a co-operative factory. Boss Scbonk
er ot 43 Essex street, who, the strikers say,
leads tho other manufacturers, has shown no
signs of capitulating yet. Girls do picket duty
at bis shop all day.

others employed in the same department struck
In sympathy with the eight. It is said that
there Is a great deal of dissatisfaction nnd un
rest among the employees In several other mills,
and thnt strikes are likely to follow within tho
next two weeks unless increased wages are pala.

Detroit, Mich., Sept. 2. For several years It
has been tlio practice of persons living In Wind
sor, Canada, and employed on this side the
river, to bring over their bicycles and rldo from
the ferry dock to their places of employment
without molestation. Under tho new tariff
ruling the customs inspectors have been ordered
to demand a duty on all Canadian wheels, or
those of foreign manufacture, coming to this
country. The new regime went Into effect yes
terday, and a howl went up that has already
reaehet the seat of tho Provincial Government.
The Canadians do not propose to submit to
this sort of thing, and havo called for a ruling
on tho old Canadian law which required ft pay
ment of duty on nil American made wheels
crossing the rronticr. It Is said that hereafter
American riders will be stopped on the Canadian
side and bo compelled to pay full 33 percent,
duty on their bicycles, each bicycle to be
valued nt $100. Tho Canadians can escape tho
payment of duty by buying American made
wheels, but tho Yankee will hnvo no way around
the ruling, although In the pest nn L. A. W.card
of membership or a small deposit was all that
was required to get Into Canada.

ZXQ11TXIXO FIRES A FAIR DARX.
Two Men Who Were Sleeping In the Bin Wore
Aroused by n Frightened Horse.
Lightning struck an old barn on the New Jer
sey 8tate Fair grounds at Wavcrly yesterday
morning and set It on Are. The flnsh came at 4
o'clock, and nearly an hour later two men who
were sleeping In the barn discovered that the
hny overhead was burning. They were James
J. Clancey, owner of the trotter Miss Knox, and
his groom, Frank Enrlght. Mr. Clancy had
asked to be assigned to tho oarn with his man
on tho night before, and previous to that the
structure was unoccupied. Both men wore
aroused by the crash of thunder which followed
the flash of lightning.
They said that thor smelted an odor like sul
phur, but did not think that tho barn bad been
struck and went to sleep again. They were
again awakened by the pawing and snorting of
tho trotter and then suiellod smoke. After get
ting Miss Knox nnd her trappings out of the
building they found that a hole largo enough to
admit a man's body had been bored through the
roof and thnt tho hay In the loft wns on lire.
Tho Are spread through tbo northorn end of

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2. Democratlo diplo
macy succeeded, after a twenty-four-hour fight,
' in overcoming Populist obstinacy, nnd tho threo
Stnto conventions of tho Nobraska political
Drelbund finally agreed, at noon to-day, upon
Judgo John J, Sullivan of Columbus for Su
preme Judge. Tho situation became very much
strained during the early morning hours and
tho hypnotlo Inftucnco of Mr. Bryan was neces
sary to prevent nn open rupture.
Tho conferenco committees appointed at 8
o'clock last evening continued In secret session
until nearly 3 this morning, when Mr. Bryan
was called In nnd the utter Inability of tho com
mittees to get together on any man was ex
plained. At his suggestion each commlttoo re
ported back to Its convention, which bad been
In session all tho whllo listening to speoches,
that each proceed to ballot upon the candidates
presented nnd when any two conventions had
nominated a man his nomination be mado obllg
1 ntory upon the other.
Balloting began after the recess for break
fast had been taken. The Populists nominated
Neville, Iho ex-Reoubllcana Judge Scott of
Omaha, and tbo Democrats W. II. Thompson,
and they were just where they began. The De
mocracy engaged In finesse during tho morning
and took up Sullivan, who had been second man
In tho Populist Convention. Tho tip was given
to tho stiver Republicans that Sullivan would
be named by the Populists shortly, and to fore
stall them they nominated him.
When the Populists wore notified that Sulli
van had been named by the two other conven
tions there was an explosion. Senator Allen
made a soothing speech. Neville withdrew hli
namo. Several other leaders took a hand, and
Sullivan was Anally named with only a few
negatives. Evon Forell, a Populist of Kearney,
and George F. Kenower, a silver Republican
of Wlsner, were nominated for State University
Regents.
Some of the kicking Populists are sore at
Bryan and assert that it was a trick of his to
put out of consideration for Governor next year
all Democratic aspirants. In reward for which he
Is to receive tho Populist delegation from No
braska In 1000.
SPEECHES BY IXDIAX CHIEFS.
Thoy Rernse to I-et a Cattle Trail Paso Aerooa
Tuelr Reservation.
LiHCOLN. Nob., Sept. 2. Senator Allen has re
turned to Lincoln after an Interesting Journey
on the Yankton reservation, on the border of
Nebraska and in South Dakota. The reason for
the trip was more trouble over tbo opening ot
the cattle trail across the reservation. Thu time
was when thousands of cattle came down
through Nobraska from tho South Dakota rango .
through the reservation, and then were shipped
to Sioux City, Omaha and Chicago. Several
years ago the Indians objected to this trail across
the reservation being used by stockmen, and it
was closed. Stockmen have been forced to ship .
their cattle after driving them nearly double tbo J
distance via the Minnesota lines. This has
proven an unendurable hardship. Senator Allen J
was selected to address the Indians and explain I
to them Just what was desired and to uscerbtln j
what objettlons they had to the trail being re
opened. Tbo Senator, who is quite well known
to the Indians, explained to the council
that the interests of the Indians were to i
be protected very carefully. No allotments
were to he trespassed upon, no straying at cattle
would be allowed, no cuttle were to be shipped
north over the trail, and it nai not to be a high
way, but all that was wanted was the right to
bring cattle down from the White River coun
try to Nebraska. For this privilege the Indians
would receive pay for ovory hoaa that crossed
the reservation, and In winter a good market
was to be furnitbed from this source for the hay
which the Indians couid get In great abundance
In the fall. 1 he agreement did not mean sell
ing the land or giving it up. but only allowjaj
tho cattle to bo driven across fTm tho north to
thesouth. Senator Allen spoke foran hour ex
plaining the situation to the Indians, but did
not receive so much as a grunt ot encourage
ment from the groM circle ot Indians who
squatted around with their blankets covering
all but their eyes.
When the Nebraska statesman had finished,
the aged Two Strike arose feebly and said the
Indians had loaned the white man the Black
Hills, but they could not get them back nor the
pay for them. Now the reservation Is quite
small, nnd they needed It for themselves and
children.
Hollow Horn Bear said, with considerable
Ore. as he strode into the circle with much
dignity: " I want to know whether this man be
longs to the Great Father's Senate end whether
hevotd with Senator Petiigrew to put the
Lower Brule Indians on our lands against our
wlsheB. He speaks very well, but no have
loaned roads before and not received any pay.
When we have a bill at tho store we pay up be
fore tho whtto man will let us buy again. The
President has not paid us for other lands, and
we will not sell more. Wo need our land."
Old He Dog said with considerable ferocity:
" M y people have told mo to tell you that we have
no land to sell, and to siy plainly that you shall
not havo a road through our Inna from which
the diseased and lame cattle from all the Daketoa
can wunder Into our herds."
Quick Bear said: "Forty-six years ago wo
built a rood through our buffalo range. Then
twenty-five years ago we did It again. In 1870
we gave to the white mac tho Bla-K Hills, nnd
hether wo give or lend we nover get any back.
Now our families aro large, our reservation
small, and we cannot give awav our land."
Good Voice. Sky Bull, Bull Dog. Spotted Elk,
Ring Thunder, Yellow Hair, and White I torso
repeated the language of the others, concluding
by observing: "Tell tbeOreat Father this and
don't worry us asking for more roads."
Inspector McLaughlin toolt the rostrum and
disputed what the Indians bad said about the
unfairness ot the Government. He said: "I do
not come to persuade you to sell orglve up your
land, but I want to explain some things to you,
I have the reputation among tbo Indians ot tell
ing the truth even though It does not sound
sweet. Several of your men have mentioned
the treaties of Laramie, Long Lake, and tho
Black Hills. They say they got nothing for the
land codod by those trenties. This Is not so.
The Government has been honest. From the
Black Hills treaty you get all your rations, from
the treaty of 1808 you get your clothing, and
from tho treaty or 18S0you get yournllotments,
horses, wagons, harness, cons, and IJ50 In cash.
Then you get your schools, tnenty-onoon this
reservation, with good teachers. Tho new
boarding school cost 9100,000. This now offer
Is not to sell your land, but to loan It for a few
years."
Tho only reply the Indians could bo Induced to
make after their first speeches wns, " We have
said all we have to say,'
It will be recommended to tho Oovernment
that the trail ho opened to the cattlemen In
tplto of the protests of the Indians.

Topkka. Kan.. Sept. 2. Bank Commissioner H
Bridrnrbal slid to-day: "Kansas is to-day the H
L'.oji rcspcrous State In the Union. Kansas H
farmers will pay of? the mortgages on 40,000
homes this fall. As these mortgages average
$1,000 each, this means an expenditure of HO.
000.000. There has never been in the history of
Kansas as much money in the State as there is
to-day. The immense crops, the large numbers
of cattle, nnd high prices for both, will turn mil
lions of dollars into the pockets of our farmers
at once.
" Never before In the history ot this State has
money been so plenty that btnka have refused
deposits. In many ot the Western towns the
banks have absolutely refused to accept further
deposits, having thousands ot dollars already In
their vaults.
" More t ban $30,000 of Kansas money has been
sent to Kansas City. Mo., btnks this week, the
Kansas bankers declining to take It. They can
not loan the money because there la no demand
for It. consequently they do not care to accept

millions of dollars."
