Annonncement ly the Ex Governor
Pennsylvania.
Ex Gov. Robert E. Pattison stated
last night that he would support the
democratic ticket headed by William
J. liryan, ot iNebracka Mr. Patti
son was seen at his home in Over
brook, and when first spoken to in
regard to bis intention he simplv re
plied: "I will vote the Democratic
ticket." His attention was then call
ed to the proposed action of the gold
standard Democrats, headed by Mr.
Whitney aud others, toward appoint
ing a committee of one from each
State to obtain views of citizens as to
the advisability of nominating a gold
man, and was asked what he would
do in event of this. To this he again
replied: k-I will vote the Democratic
ticket."
'Do you mean by this that you will
support the nominee of such a con
vention?" "Undoubtedly not," was the reply.'
"Uy tne Democratic ticket I mean
the ticket regularly nominated at
Chicago, headed by Mr. Bryan, of
Nebraska. I have no sympathy with
a convention of bolters, and "that is
what such a convention should be."
The governor was then asked as to
his position on the platform, to which
he replied: "The views of the con
vention expressed in the platform
may be somewhat extreme, but they
seemed to be acceptable to a majority
ot the delegates of the party, and
were adopted by them "
Mr. Pattison stated also that he
would not take any active part in the
campaign beyond giving the ticket
his personal support. He said that
his time would be largely taken up
with lus private business, and conse
quently he would not be able to give
much attention to politics.-
POPULIST PARTY FOK BRYAN.
Manifesto From Secretary Tnrner Advis
ing This Coarse.
Washington, July 14. Mr. J.
II. Turner, secretary of the National
Committee of the Populist party, has
issued a manifesto advising all Pop
ulists to ratiiy the nomination of
Bryan at the Populist convention at
St. Loins on July 22d next.
In the course of his address he
says: "The truth of it is that the
only point the Populists now have
to decide is whether or not they will
take Mr. Bryan, whom every gold
bug in the country has denounced
as a Populist, for our next President
of the United States, or whether
they will take Mr. McKinley, who
represents everything that the Popu
lists have denounced and just the
opposite of everything tbey have ad
vocated since they have been a par
ty." TELLER FOR BRYAN.
Will Not Allow Ms Name to Go Before the
St. Louis Convention.
Denver, Julv 15. Teller will
not allow his name to go before the
St. Louis Convention. He comes
out for Bryan.
Indiana in Line.
Indianapolis, Ind., Julv 14.
Democrats of every shade of opinion
are announcing their unqualified
support of the ticket. Ex-Chairman
Taggart of the Democratic State
Central Committee declares that the
Democrats will carry the State for
the reason that the party will gain
more Republicans by advocating free
silver than it would lose to the op
position. The free silver sentiment
is very pronounced in some Fections
of the State among the Republicans,
and the leaders admit that it will
require a campaign of education to
hold them in the party lines this fall.
Except in a few places, such as In
dianapolis, Fort Wayne, New Albany
and Terre Haute, there is no gold
sentiment whatever and everywhere
the Chicago nominations have been
enthusiasticaly received.
For these reasons Democrats of ex
perience in politics, regardless of
their ideas on the money question,
believe that Indiana will go Demo
cratic this fall.
What Senator Jones Says.
Washington, July 15. Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
reiterate today that the financial
issue will be forced to the front.
There will be little or no tariff talk.
The reason for selecting New York
for the notification is to show the
country that the movement is not
sectional and that we are not a lot
of long whiskered, long haired lu
natics and fanatics, as pictured.

ONLY ONE SILVER TICKET.
The Bimetallic Union Endorses tne Demo
cratic Ticket.
Chicago, July 12. After a 12
days' secret session and conference
with prominent members, the execu-1
tive committee of the American Bi
metallic union adjourned today and
formally announced its approval of
the Democratic platform and candi
dates. The committee appeals to the i
silver organizations of the country
who intend to send delegates to the
St. Louis convention to unify the sil
ver foices by endorsing the work
done in the coliseum.
Thirty odd members of the com
u ictee and outside members of the
union attended the council, which
vo'i n l-i at finis rl -! e I nn ariAral A T
sentiment as to endorsement. Fol
lowing is the address issued by the
committee:
To the members of the American
Bimetallic union, and of all affiliated
unions " ' 'ues throughout the
United . . ;id all other friends of
bimetallLui:
Whereas, the American Bimetallic
union, being a consolidation of the
American Bimetallic league, the Na
tional Bimetallic union, the National
Silver committee and other bimetal
lic organizations, called a conference
at Washington, D. C, on the 22d
day of January last, at which con
ference it was determined that the
people in the approaching election
should have the opportunity to vote
for candidates for President and Vice
President, and for members of con
gress, committed unequivocally to the
restoration of the unrestricted coin
age of both gold aud silver on the
equality existing prior to 1873, and
to make this determination sure, a
convention was called by said con
ference to meet at St. Louis on the
22d of July, there to place in nomi
nation candidates for President and
Vice President, incase in the mean
time neither or the great parties, as
then appeared doubtful, offered ac
ceptable candidates, on a platform
committing the party and the can
didates to the restoration of the un
restricted' coinage of both gold and
silver.
And, whereas, the Democratic con
vention just ended at Chicago has
adopted a platform containing all
that bimetallists have demanded,
fully and uuequivocally expressed,
and has nominated candidates of dis
tinguished abilitv and long known a
since advocates to our cause; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of
this committee, but one dutv re
mains for the friends of this great
cause to perform, and that is to unite
as one man in support of tne plat
form adopted at Chicago,' and the
candidates nominated thereon, and to
work with might and main unti
election in November, to secure the
success of the ticket. If this is
done we siucerely believe that our
cause will be won and prosperity be
restored to our people.
The onlv danger to be feared is in
the division of our own forces, which
we pray will not be allowed to take
place lo diviue our torces on the
eve of the great contest before the
world is unnatural and suicidal; am
for ope to lead a revolt in such a
cause and at such a time would come
little short of being a public crime
We, therefore, appeal to all members
of the Bimetallic union and of the
affiliated silver leagues and all others
opposed to the continuance of the
single gout standard, regardless oi
party affiliations, to come to tne sup
port of the platform and the splendic
ticket given us at the peoples' great
convention just held at Chicago. We
further urge upon all who agree with
us upon this vital issue to join us at
St. Louis on the 22d of July, there to
endorse and ratify the work so nobly
begun.

Ganeral Warner, just before leav
ing tonight for his home in Marietta,
said to a reporter for the Southern
Associated Press:
"The committee was unanimous
for endorsement. Two-thirds of
those present were Republicans. The
silver convention in St. Louis will
certainly support Bryan.

off and shook hands with the. people
who came to see him. He made no ;
speeches, except at East St. Louis,
where a large number of railroad
men gathered. In response to cries
or a speech, he said: "The people
lave a euriosity to see the nominee
or the Presidency and shake him by
he hand. I have been there, crowd
ed about the train to shake hands
with the presidential nominee, even
f I didn t vote for him. I don t know
f it's all curiosity here. You can't
tell much about a man by looking at
him. I think it far better" to take
he platform and studv it, to decide
whether von like it and. I can say to
you that Mr Sewall and myself
s and eti the platform, and if elected
will carry it out to the letter.
'It presents the policies vhich are
important aud will be good for the
masses ol the people. We believe
when prosperity is brought to the
producing classes it will win its wTay
to the other classes. I here is no
legislation which is good if it doesn't
reach the masses. Prince Bismarck
aid in a speech a little over a vear
ago, that the farmers must stand to
gether to protect themselves from
the drones of society, which pro
duce nothing: but laws. The pro
ducers of the country are just as
much entitled to the fruits of indus
try and consideration as those who
consume the things prouueeu.
There was cheering and waving of
hats when Mr. Bryan finished and
the train started.
ENTHUSIASM FOR BRYAN.
Grrt Demonstrations in the Western

Received. ,

the State for him. In Seattle and
Tacoraa demonstrations were held
last night in honor of the nomination
and prominent Populists and dissent
ing Republicans, almost to a man
express their approval of the result
of the Convention.
Reports from Oregon points are
similar. Mayor Pennoyer's warmest
sn pporters, in Portland have declared
emphatically for Brvan.
In Reno, Nev., the nomination was
received with the wildest enthusiasm
Bonfires were lighted, cannon dis
charged, and every lawful means of
showing their apprec:ation of Mr
Bryan's selection was used by the
. A.. -.! r r i
menus ot silver. Chairman j. r
McCulloueh of the Populist State
Central Committee declared thai-
Bryan was a most acceptable candi
date to the Populists of Nevada, and
that the delegation to St. Louis of
which he was Chairman would cer
tainly use every effort to have him
endorsed by the Populist National
Convention. Other leading Popu
lists expressed the same sentiment
At Phoenix, Ariz., a monster rati
fication meeting has been arranged
for to-night, in which all the leading
Democrats, Populi?ts, and Silver! us
of the Territory will la-ke pa it.
Elsewhere throughout the Territory
the friends of silver, irrespective of
party, are loud in their expressions of
delight at Mr. Brvan's selection.
Meagre reports from Idaho show that
demonstrations of approval are in
progress at Moscow and Pocatello.

Preparing for the Coming St.
Louis Coib-
vention.
St. Louis. Mo., July 15- Dr.
J. Mott, secretary of the Bimetallic
League of America, has returnedL
here from Chicago . and secured:
rooms at the Lindell Hotel for th&
coming convention for Senator Ste
wart of Nevada, Congressman New
land, William P. St. John of Newr
York and others. He was asked if
the bimetallic national convention,
would indorse Bryan's nominations
He said:
"As one of the officers of the Bi
metallic League, I don't think it:
would be altogether proper for me
o undertake to forecast what it will
do. I know, however, that Mr-
Bryan is a great favorite with many
men prominent in the league."
L. K. Taylor of Paducab, Ky.r a
member of the Populist national:
committee, is here to engage quar
ters for the Kentucky delegation
and 300 vistors to the national con
vention. When questioned as to fhe
Populistits' choice for President, he
said: "I can't say further than they
did want Teller, and hoped that tbes
Chicago convention would nominate;
him, so they could have indorsed
him."
'Will the Populists indorse Bryan:
when they meet here next week ?fS
I e was asked.
"They may, but I doubt it, be
cause we have got to maintain ottr
party organization We may nomi
nate Teller, and then agree to divides
our electoral tickets, on the basis
that the strongest man win after the
general result is known. This IS-
feasible, and, after all, it looks as if
it would be but the indorsement cf
Brvan, for he would most likely be
beneficiary."
