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.

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. A. J. Warner, President, R. C.

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 Suite How Bryan's Nomination Was Received. , Sax Francisco, July 11.

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. To Drop Explosives Among the Spaniards New York, July 13.

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." ARTHUR SEWALL.
