The approach of the county and legis

vorites. Already announcement Is
made that Attorney C A. Buttenberg
will stand as a delegates from the First
ward to the Republican convention and
Postmaster O'Rouike Is announced as
a candidate from the Third ward to the
Fourth District Democratic convention.
It is understood that Mr. U'Rourke fa
vors the nomination of Professor T. J.
White as the Democratic standard
heurer In this district and will use his
In due me to bring about that result.
There Is a feeling here that Archbuld
is entitled to representation on either
the Democratic- or Republican ticket.
It has allowed other less populous
places In Ihe district to share the hon
ors heretofore, and it Is now about to
muke an effort to procure its rights.
Mr. White bus been a lifelong Dem
ocrat and he and his friends feel thut
he is entitled to recognition. The Re
publican in this borough do not in
tend to remain idle during the pending
campaign, us is evident from the Inter
est already shown in the preliminaries.
This evening there will be a meeting of
the members of the John R. Jones and
McKlnley clubs, and all other Republi
cans not connected with these organi
zations are also expected to be pres

JONES GOES TO SEE BRYAN.
The Democratic C'hairniaa and the
Nominee to Confer.
St. Louis, July 26. Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
committee, left for the home of William
J. Bryan In Lincoln tonight. Senator
Jones wishes to talk with Nominee Bry
an as to the best methods of recognis
ing the nomination which the Populist
convention has given to Mr. Bryan for
president. In view of the fact that
Arthur Sewall of Mulne. the running
mate of Bryan on the Chicago ticket,
was defeated for the nomination In the
Populist convention, the complications
that confront Senator Jones and Nom
inee Bryan deniund a personal con
versation between the Arkansas states
man and the Boy Orator of the Platto.
It Is the general opinion here tonight
that Bryan In some .way will make It
known that he appreciates the nomina
tion of the Populist convention.
All stories to the effect thut Bryan
for an Instant has been personally in
terested In the case of Arthur Sewall
are nonsense. He never met Arthur
Sewall until the day ufter the Chicago
convention. He has prayed and hung
ered for the Populist convention's nom
ination, and he has never for an in
stant thought about how Sewul! would
fine here. It hus not been a question
of Sewall -with hint, but it has been
one of Biyun and for Bryan all III'
time.
"SEWAIX RETICENT:
Says Virtually Thut tin Doings of the

Bath, Me.. July 26 During the Popu
pa rent ly the least interested man in
Bath, and Bath has taken but little in
terest In the proceedings. While bulle
tins of both the Democratic and Re
publican conventions were posted regu
larly here, the only bulletin put out this
week was the one tonight announcing
the nomination of Bryan. .Mr. Sewall
hss had no special service, und hus de
pended lurgely upon the newspapers for
his Information regarding the conven
tion. . When he was asked how his re
jection by the Populists Would affect
him, he replied thai he was not aware
that any other national Democratic
convention hud tuken place, and thut
of course the proceedings of other po
litical parties could not affect his can
didacy: Mr Sewall certainly has no Idea that
the failure of the Populists to nominate
him as well as Bryan need cause him to
withdraw from the campaign.
When asked if it was true that he hud
offered to withdraw, he said:
"You may say that I have not heard
anything of It."
'.Shall I suy that you have made no
such offer?"
"You may say Just what I tell you,
thut 1 huve not heard of any such of
fer." WAS SEWALL BETRAYED?
A Story That Democratic Malingers
An iced in Advance to Drop Hint.
Tmllunupnlis, July 26. C. M. Walters,
of Kossvllle. member of the Populist
National committee for Indiana, suld
when passing through this city on his
way home that the St. Louis conven
tion followed the programme mapped
out for It by Democratic managers, who
agreed for the sake of Bryan to accept
the repudiation of Sewall.
"We nieaii to keep up our organlz-i-ttnn
by means of state and county
tickets," Mr. Walters said, "und be
prepared to absorb the Democratic
party In case after election it plays us
false. A party that has had eleven
chances to pass a free-sllvet bill and
has refused to do so Is not to be wholly
trusted. While we will work for Bry
an's election, .ve realize that success
may meat- a dii"! to th death with

up almost exclusively of Republicans,
fully 95 per cent, of the members be
longing to that party. A member of
the union said It had taken on this po

hud suffered severely. The men. he
said, hud been compelled to stund re

Henry Bustwlck, the delegate from

After Bostwick's speech. Major -McKlnley
stepped upon the chair, but such
a storm of applause greeted him thut
he could not proceed for some time.
When the applause subsided he said:
"It Is peculiarly grutlfylng to me to huve
this lurge body of the representatives ot
your association, fresh from jour delib

great Industry, scattered over eleven
states of the I'nloti, honor me with this

You huve, sir, alluded to some of our dif

ly the great problems which 'ire before
the people for solution and vett It-meld.
Nothing could be better smJ than that a
dieat em-ei.tlul to the credit of the country
Is to provide enough revenue to run the
country. The credit of u.iy government Is.
imperilled so long us it expends more
n.uiiey then It collects. Th - credit of the
Kovernnieiit. like thut of the iudivi'liMl
citizen, is best subserved by living within
Its means und providing incitns with which
to live.
"Every citizen must know, (n you have
stated, that the receipts of the United
States are now Insufficient forlts neces
sary expenditures, und thut our present
revenue laws huve resul'.'d In causing u

Its tlrst ai ts will be to put upon the sta

which the government will collect enough
money to meet Its expenditures, stop debts
und deficiencies, and udequutely protect
American labor, (tit-eat cheering und ap

steps toward the return of confidence ai;u
a revival of business prosperity. (Ap
plause.) "The government, my fellow citizens,
has not been the only sufferer in the past
three years, us your spokesman has so
vividly shown. The people have suffered,
the la burl nic man In his work and wages,
the farmer In his prices und markets, und
our citizens generally In their incomes and
Investments.
"Enforced Idleness among our people

people have paid dearly for a mistaken
policy, u policy which has disturbed our
industries and cut down our revenues, al

our Industries, a new experiment is now
proposed, cne thut would debase our cur

Ho not all or us wtsn tor ine return or tue

such ruin upon the country, und were en
