The ther- momecer fell forty degrees in the past forty-eight hours in Nebraska and adja cent States. - The Treasury gold stocd at $104,801 699 yesterday. The captain of ' the filibuster steamer Commodore tells a sensational story of the attempt on the part of the Spanish Government to buy him. The weekly crop bulletin issued by the Weather Bjreau shows that cotton is suffering from the t Sects of continued hot and dry weather. The argu ment in the railroad rate war was con cluded yesteidiy; Judge Simonton re serves his decision. Customs officab will make a final inspection of the filibustering steamer Three Friends, seized at Jacksonville, Fia., Siturday, and if it results satisfactorily the vessel will be released from custody. The Nations! Democratic Committee met in .Washington and arranged plans for the campaign; Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, who was supposed to be antagonistic to the Chicago ticket and platform, appeared at headquarters and gave assurance of his intention to aid the success of the ticket in every way possible ' Mr. Bryan is at Red Hook, N, Y., preparing his letter of acceptance and perfecting plans for the campaign.' The Populist party will have headquarters in Washington City and Chicago. A collision occurred between two yachts at the London regatta of , the Royal Albert Ciub. in which one of the yachts was dismasted andhe owner killed. Mr. Bryan denies emphatically that he hasever been in the. pay of mine owner.

Wm. J. Bryan weighs 200 pounds and still the gold organs are trying to make light of him. A McKinley organ exclaims, "If McKinley is elected, it means pros perity." For Mark Hanna's crowd, money manipulators, bond deal ers, &c. . Hon. Hoke Smith may have wobbled sDme on the money ques tion, hnt tnVisn t n v;o nm ocracy and loyalty to the party, he desn't wobble. He's right there. These organs which declare that there is nothing1 in Mr. Bryan's New York speech, would show more con sistency by not devoting columns of space to attempts at answering it. In China, where they haven't many cows, they drive them around , the" country, and sell milk, fresh from the cow, by the drink. In this way the wiley Chinaman gets the dead wood on the town pump. r Li Hung Chang declines to be considered dead, even in so far as going on the dead head list, and has therefore-declined an offer of free transportation across the continent; n his way back to China. The Philadelphia, ledger reminds Mr. Bryan that "it requires some thing more than ante election ap plause to secure the Presidential office." Mr. Hanna seems o be of the opinion that it takes a good deal f money, too. K.nT 'AT TTmTTV A TT If lass ssss a II I 19. vol. Lvni.-No.-m. mPOMANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Washington Tmes propounds the following conundrum: "Suppose other nations brought their silver here and exchanged it for gold un til all our yellow metal should be withdrawn frork the country; would this tremendous:oinage or storage of silver bullion maintain its price of $1.29 an ounce, wheaMts use as a money metal was chief lyrestricted to the United States?" fhis is not a supposable case, for in the first place the x other nations would not bring their silver here for they need all they have, xand if they did they wouldn't find it so, easy to exchange it for gold, unlessKthe gold fellows got the whip handle side of the transaction. Supposable cases should always have plausibilityXenough in them to be supposable. Dr. Kansen didn't discover the North Pole because her an short on dogs. Pole hunters should take due precautions to have a good sup ply of dogs ahead of them when they start out. The next man to be heard from Is the balloon man who thinks he has struck on the plan for getting there without dogs. As a sticker, Silas Huffman, of the town of Far Hill, N. J., takes the cake. He has lain in bed fifteen years out of sheer spite. He quarrelled with a brother and that's the way he took to spite him. As he has re fused to have his hair or beard cut in that time, he has about turned to hair. The money manipulators and the McKinley organs are devoting much time and space to persuading the wage earners that wages will fall with free silver. They don't believe it. If they did the last one of them would be whooping it up for free silver. It is said that Li Hung Chang will give San Francisco the slip on his way home and go, by Victoria be cause the Hung Chung Woey, a se cret Chinese society has a spite against him and threatens to put a spider in hidnmpling. A Connecticut rubber man says free silver is knocking the bounce out of his stuff. Well, ifwe must choose between rubber and an elastic cur rency we'll takexthe silver every time. We are not growing much rubber in this country anyway. A New Yorkx man was recently sent to Sing Sing for marrying 16 young women, regardless of the law which limited hfm to one at a time. This was carrying the 16 to 1 idea a little too far. HEW AD V EBTISEMEHTS. C W Polvogt & Co Must be sold. Odd Fellows excur'n to Car. Beacb, Moonlight excursion to Car. Beacb.

It being so much trouble to bring the four negro boy thieves to the city on a hand car and having no wav to lock them up at Ocean View over night, it was decided bv Mayor Harriss and thesj who had been loosers by this young crowd of thieves who had infested Ocean View during the Summer that they should take them to the Hammocks where their yells could not disturb any one and give them twenty five lashes, which was done at 12 o'clock by a numbsr of the beach ers, and after they were released they started In double quick time towards Wilmington. Bate Ball. , At a meeting held last night a strong team ot Wilmington's best ball players was selected to battle against tbe Frank lin, Va., team, which will arrive here Friday morning.

The Chicago platform suits me exactly. I am in sympathy with it and therefore can talk earnestly . The party has come to its own. and the people will sustain it. The people without malice to anybody or anybody's interest are determined that the government shall be run in the inter est of all the people Special privileges and favoritism have crept into our system while the people were at work trying to make a livine. They have found it out and are going to remedy this wrong. I shall make as thorough canvass as time and strength will allow. I shall do so in aa orderly, good tempered man ner. My motive is to get as many people to think as I do as possible. 1 don t wish to estrange but to win.. James A. Lockhart. BepnDlioana For Bryan.

Says He Is Up to Stay Bepabltoan Com mitteeman Sy No Power Can Fall Baaaell Sown. "Judge Russell will never come down. You can put that in your pipe and smoke it," Maj. H. L. Grant, member of the Republican State Executive Com mittee, said yesterday. "When Daniel L Russell comes down from the head of the Republic in State ticket it will be the coldest day this ciuntry ever saw," said -Secretary Hyams, of the committee; "we are not only not going to take him down, but we are going to lect bim and in Jan uary we will substitute flesh for whis kers in the Governor's chair. That resolution passed regarding Judge Rus sell was not only sincere and honest, but it was passed by the committee unani mously. We have an honest election law sow, something we never had be fore, and that means 25,000 votes lor us that have never before been counted. We are ihousinds of votes stronger than either the Democrats or the Populists, and we are confident we will carry the State" "I've told you all the time Russell would never come down," said Tom Bailey, one of the decorative pictures in tbe Republican fresco. "Will you withdraw from the ticket? ' I asked Judge Russell yesterday. ' That thing has been nailed so many times," he said, "that I didn't think any body outside ofa rtad-house honestly believed it. It is not only absolutely ab surd, but is getting very monotonous." "Judge, some of the Populists are say ing that Marion Butler, the omnipotent, will pull you down from the ticket. What is the understanding about this ? ' ' I don't know what the understanding is," he answered in a voice that could be heard two squares away, "but I know what my understanding about it is. My understanding is that I want to be Gov ernor. Mr. B jtler may be omnipotent in his own party, but outside of that par ty there are some things he cannot ac comolish." "You asked me about my understand ing." he continued; "it reminds me of an incident f at occurred to me when I was canvassing one of the Eastern counties, running for Congress. In the audience I noticed one particularly intelligent looking man, with the appearance of an archbishop, and I thought him a minis ter. I saw he was very much interested and I took pains to make every point clear, so that I could not be misunder stood. After the speaking he came up and shook my hand and said, 'That was a pretty good speech.' " 'I hope vou un derstood my position,' I said. 'Yes,' he teplied, 'I understand that you want to go to Congress, and that d d bad.' " The Judge said he not only wculd continue in the race but would be elected Governor. He said: "If there is anybody now liv ing on earth that believes the rumcr about my coming down' be ought to be in a mad-house." ' - NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
