party was not opposed to silver, which
they declared to be a virtual acknowledg
ment of fear, before thegolditts were
yelling themselves hoatse over Mr. Bry
an's appeal for votes regaidless of the
Chicago platlorm.
Candidates and partus h ive often ig
nored platforms alter election, but it was
somewhat novel for u candidate to say
before election that the ticki t could be
voted without endorsing everything in
the platform. It was a bit of .candor on
the part of Mr. Brynn, if it wasn't good
politics. Among the politicians in Wash
ington, re-jirdless of party, it is believed
gramme stood when the story of Sewall's
withdrawal was prematurely made pub-
lie by a Maine P ipulisf. As a matter of
j course the Chairmen of both Populist
j aud Democratic Notional Committees de
' cliue to admit any knowledge of this
j scheme.
j R-publicans are cither alarmed or skil
fully pretending to be alarmed over the
reported large defections from that party
in the agricultural sections ol the middle
West. According to a story given out by
friends of Mckinley, a canvass just com
pleted shows that sixty per cent, of the
Republican tanners of Iovva have announ
ced their intention to vote lor Bryan nud

excited much more interest if it had not

Washington, D. C. August 29. In
spitejol the denials of the Navy Depart
ment, it ia firmly believed tbat the secret
voyage) of the little cruiser Bancroft is for
lbs Boaphorus.
It is stated tbat the hastening of the
cruiser Irotu this port was due to Secre
tary Onley's impatience at tha delay in
paying the small indemnity'due forAmeri
can's mission property which was destroyed.
convention war Erst proposer! it was sup
possed by many that it would make no
nominati"U, but would advise the sup
port of McKinley. It is now considered
certain that a nomination will be m;;de,
and if President Cltveland does not object,
that Henry W'atterson will head the tick
et. At a meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of the National Silver party, held in
Washington this week, it was decided that
headquarters be maintained in Chicago
and Washington, the west being looked
after from the former place and the east
and south from the latter. Little else was
made public concerning the committee
rneetiog, but it is known that like its
working jartners, the Democratic and
Populist committeis, the committee is
feeling the lack of campaign funds and
that its members are more or less worried
about where they are to get the uioecv to
pay what they consider necessary cam
paign expenses.
President Cleveland played his first
trump in the Presidential game when he
selected ex-Governor Frances to succeed
Mr. Hoke Smith as Secretary of the In
ter'or, and it has made the silver men so
mad that they are talking about the ad
visabilitv of taking the very unusual
course in the Senate of njecting the
nomination of Mr. Frauds It is not pro
bable, however, that such a course will be
followed, as the election will be over be
fore the Senate meets. It is admitted by
all who know the situation in Mo., that
Mr. Cleveland greatly strengthened the
gold Democrats in that Stute by taking
Gov. Francis into the Cabinet, aud conse
quently increased McKicley's chances for
carrying tbe State. Although Governor
Francis denies that he was "on the fence,'
it is stoutly asserted by Missouri Demo
crats that he would have come oui for
Bryau had he not been made Secretary of
the Interior. It is the impreselou in Wash
ington that be will only be nominally at
tin head of the Interior department, as
his time will be taken up between now
and election working up the gold demce
racy in Missouri, and after election there
will scaice'y oe time enougu iett ior turn

silver was already practically accomplisli
e I. The policy of frightening one's side
ioto harder lighting has more than once
been successfully put through in politics,
and Mr. Hanra may le trying it again.
The silver people are not giving figures,
but they say Republican defection wil
give them most of the middle Western
states, unless there is a change of senti
ment between now and election day. On
the other hand, Republicans just from
those states say there is already a change
ot sentiment and that the defection is not
greater in one party than in the other, and
that McKinley will carry them all.
There are ominous mutteiings concern
ing the management, or rather the alleg
ed lack oi' management of the Bryan cam
pain, which may break into an open
storm in the mar future if there isn't a
change. It is charged that the campaign
manegeis have neglected opportunities
which they should have taken advantage
of, and some of those who make the

cuarges say mac oryan is largely to oiamc
tor insising upon having his own way
about many things which should have
been left to the discretion of those wdio
have had more experience in managing
National campaigns, and that Bryau is
too much inclined to b a rainbow chaser
to be allowed to control things. They say
that it was Bryan'3 disposition to chase
rainbow instead of sawing wood that dis
gusted Senator Gorman, w ho had partly
promised to help manage the campa'gn,
and they are now trying to persuade
Gorman to hold, and Bryau is said to
have promised him that he would not
attempt to intetferc with him if he would.
The Populists National Committee is
confining its work to assisting in smooth

several States and iu making arrangments
for Populist stump speakers. Ii is seud

It is said now that the Republicans will

The feeling between the Russell and
Doekery faction of the Republicans has by

Russell finds a Doekery man he gives the

says ''put tiim on the blacti list; we want

Democratic Slate Chairman Manly say
he thinks electoral fusion with the Popu
lists will be arranged in 10 days. Popu

revolt against fusion and it is in the tanks
of both parties. There is plenty of plain
