September 26.—Unique and 'picturesque as have been scores of no - able poli.ical contests in this city, none approach that which late last night and to-day wrought up the entire community to its wildest pitch of excitement and p wer has there beensuch an anomalous result as was shown at the close of the day when three conventions held in different sections of the city named the same man for the head of the ticket, and that man, George Fred Williams, for Governor. The factional fight in the ranks of the hitherto united Massachu setts Democracy can be traced back to 'the Chicago convention last July when in the struggle between gold aud silver, George Fred Williams and a few others boldly left, the majority of the Massa chusetts delegation and voted for tho freo and unlimited coinage of silver. The climax was reached last evening in the big Bryan rally in Music Hall. •Mr. Wiliams accused the leaders with wanting to control the State convention and requested all those who were in favor of his nomination to stay all night in their seats so that no move might be made which would deprive them of ful filling the programme which had been I jnoi-Vafl ou: by the silver leaders. Thus, I 6 . of his followers obeyed to the le^er. and throughout the long night the vigil was kept. Every kind of ingenuity was tried to make the men vacate the hail. The police were called upon to clear the hall, 'but the young lawyers in the silver element made that move unsuc cessful, and as a result the doors were locked and kept so until 3:30 this aiter noon. Bright and early to-day thousands of mrn, scores of whom were delegates from out of town, assembeld around Music Hall, expecting the doors to b» opened at any moment that a compro mise mieht ensue. Overtures were made hv the members of the State Cen tral Committee and they were rejected by th« men in possession of the hall . who were fearful of treachery. The men on the outside then organ ized in Hamilton Place, in response to the suggestion of lion. Timothy 'A. Coikley, the locked-in leader of the sil ver men. and w a at ever business v is Inns::- ed in tb- ’’ail .vas endorsed by the outside meeting. The State committee thpn went to F.aneuil Hall, where a convention was held and the national candidates and the Chicago p’atform were endorsed and Hon. George Fred Williams was 'nominated for gubernatorial honors. This act'on was protested by a number of gold standard Democrats, who with drew in a hodv an I placed a ticket favor able to Palmer and Buckner in the field on nomination papers. In Wesleyan Hail, the State conven tion of the Populist party was h Id and immediately they heard that Williams iiad been nominated as the free silver candidate for Governor, they immedi ately followed suit and placed him at the "head of their ticket. ----- GEN.

' Charleston. W. Va.. September 26.— Gen. C. C. Watts is quite sick, and his physician has ordered that he remain at •home for a week or ten days.

He will accord ingly be compelled to keep his room for a work, .aid possibly ten days.

Has Full Confidence in the Good Sense of the German-Americans to Lead Them Aright on the f i nancial Question — Bismarck’s Letter Shows the Tendency of Feeling in Germany—Humliating to Believe That Any American Citizen Doubts His Country’s Ability to Maintain Its Own t i nanciul Policy. CHICAGO, September 25.-The Gorman American Bryan and Altgeld club has re ceived a letter from \V. J. Bryan in answer ; to an address a delegation of club mem bers laid before him at St. i.ouis, Septem ber 12. In this address they assured him of their support. The letter is dated Lin coln, Neb., September 23, but was really written at Brooklyn, and is as follows: To the German-American Bryan anti Alt geld Club of Cook County: Gentlemen:—I am in receipts of your ad dress assuring me of your support in this Presidential contest, and I beg to express to you, Individually and collectively, my appreciation of your friendly interest. The fact that you or your immediate an cestors have lived under governments less directly responsible to tlie people entitles you to compare the advantages of our form of government with those of the fatherland. My confidence in the good judgment of our German-Amerlcans leads me to believe that they will be found among the staunchest supporters of bi metallism, and my faith In their patriot ism makes me certain that they will favor an independent financial policy for tlie United States. I have been much grati fied to notice the rapid growth of the sil ver sentiment among the German speak ing portion of our citizens. I beg to call your attention to the letter recently writ ten by Prince Bismarck to Governor Cul bei son, of Texas. (Mr. Bryan here quotes the letter In full.) The high standing of this great states man among the German people and the respect felt for his opinion throughout the world give great weight to his words. If the gold standard had been a blessing to Germany, he certainly would not de sire his country to abondon the gold stand ard and restore bimetallism. It is humil iating to think that American citizens doubt (he ability of the United States to legislate for its* If when a statesman like Bismarck Is willing to concede to the United Slates the ability to load in the restoration of bimetallism. The testi mony given by Bismarck as to tbe failure of the gold standard to benefit Germany Is likewise true of every nation which has tried the gold standard. The gold stand ard means dear money and dear money means hard times. This Is the universal experience where It has been tried and only those who de sire hard times and profit by them can in the end support the present financial pol icy which the Republican party desires to maintain so long as the maintenance of that policy is insisted upon by foreign creditors. Again thanking you for your cordial greeting, I am Very truly yours, W. J. BRYAN. ^ RIG MEETING AT KAVKNSWOOt). A Club Organized for Free Silver and Many Ropahllonn .loin It. Special to the Register.

Wheeling made but one error, an excusable fumble by Whaley lu the first inning, which was not costly, as the runner was thrown out at second.
