Canton, Ohio, Aug. B. This has been
a duy of good cheer for Major McKln
ley. Seated comfortably at home In
the cool of a darkened study, he has
spent the hours reading a mail that was
laden with tidings of hope and en
couragement. He had letters from
men of intelligence in alt parts of the
country und the tenor of their com
munications was that the free silver
sentiment has reached its greatest
point of development and that the na

! COCKRAN VERSUS BRYAN.
The Former's Admirers Think He Can
Throw the "Crown of Thorns"
Effort la the Shade.
Chicago, Aug, fi. Bourse dick ran
will probably be selected by the Indlan
upolls conference on Friday as tempor
ary chulrniuu of the gold standard Dem
ocnitic convention. He Is a candidate
of the Illinois delegation, which will
give him unanimous support. The only
shadow of objection urged against him
is that he has expressed himself us let
being In favor of naming a third Ilcl.it.
although he upproves tlie proposed con
vention and the adoption of a gold
standard platform.
The Illinois delegation argues t hut
tlie selection of the ex-'i'amniiiiiy orator
would give him an opportunity of
I limn ing the crown und cioss effort of
the "Hoy Orator" Into the shade. While
tlie del. gat Inn is unanimous for Cock
ran, however, many of Us members
are opposed to holding the convention
In Chicago and will vote for Indianapo
lis or Detroit.
National headquarters were tempo
rarily dosed this afternoon and on tlie
night trains there will be an exodus to
the lloosler capital. Senator Palmer,
ex-Congressman Foiman, Franklin Me

Members of the committee do not dis
guise their chagrin that Messrs. Whit

their Imniedlute circles, show no Incli

the conference will have a respectable

of the provisional national committee,
which is tn decide the question of call
ing a convention to adopt a new plat
form and nominate a presidential ticket.
The declaration of Bourke Cockran
aguinst another ticket and the silence
of President Cleveland and his cabinet
have tended to create a divided senti
ment as to the advisability of making
another nomination and the opinion of
local leaders of the movement Is that
there is no certainty of the representa
tives of thirty-six or more states who
will be at Indianapolis, Joining unani
mously in a call for a natlonat conven
tion which will include a nomination for
president and vice-president.

ed the movement and that New Jersey
would be fully represented at the con
ference, adding that New Jersey's elec
toral vote would not be for Bryan. The
committee has been advised from Geor
gia, New Jersey. Maine, Maryland and
Vermont will be represented at Indian

from those states have either not been
named yet or their names have not
been forwarded to headquarters. At
least thirty-six states are certain to be
at the meeting.

At this time, however. I am free to say
that I cannot see that there Is anything
In the party rules that would warrant
the calling of the state convention in
any such way as to make it a regular
convention authorized to speak and act
for the party. The rules of the party
prescribe the conditions and circum

can be reconvened. So far as 1 am ad

STATEMENT BY THE M00RES.
Hopeful That a Settlement May Be
Made ofDinmoud Match Affairs.
Chicago, Aug. 5. J. H. iMoore said to
a reporter for the United Associated
Press:
"We heard from the New F.nglnnd
banks which are interacted with us
this morning. They said they trusted
arrangements could be made here to
tide over our difficulties Until the ne
gotiations on the other side of the water
between the Diamond Match company
and corporations and governments
could be consummated. We assured
them that our best efforts und the ef
forts of our local friends would Ik
made in that direction. I think that we
will be able to pull through in a littie
while without hurting ourselves or any
body else very much financially In the
long run. We hope to make some local
arrangement which will soon put us
on our feet again and reopen tlie ex
change." ATLANTIC CITY "HORROR.

"The election last Monday was char
acterized by frauds more widespread
than in any previous election, und In the
Muck belt In defiance of law und con
tempt of the opposition, which the law
required to be recognized, by from 3 to
10 representatives at every poll.
"In Montgomery, at the court house
poll, un Illiterate suspected Ills ticket
wus wrongly marked, showed It to his
friend to read, and the fact was de
veloped that a Ooodwyn ticket had been,
narked for Johnson. The illiterate whs
urrested und jailed for showing the
ticket, and the marker, who was guilty
of the crime wus not Interrupted. Iu
the; black belt counties the reports state
that Dallas or some other "black belt
county will send up the usual majority,
which means that whatever majority
may be needed from these counties will
be sent up next Saturday when the vote
will be canvassed.
"The Populists are very much exas
perated on account of the wrongs
practiced upon them, and will not sup
port the Bryan Democratic electors.
They will put up the electoral ticket for
Bryan and Watson, the iK-mocrats can
take down their tic ket, vote that ticket
or see one hundred thousand votes prac
tically lost. It this shall not be done,
the Populists will refuse to Vote and let
the sliver Democrats work out their
destiny and repent of their' nieaness.
Self respeot. manhood and civil liberty
are clearer to some people than free
silver or uny other political issue.
"Hon. A. T. Ooodwyn made a brll
