They hud secured berths on the regular sleep er and retired as soon as the train drew out of the station. Today was really a day of rest for Mr. Hi. van one of the few he was alone to pass since his nomination here nearly a month ago. Mr. Bryan Is a good sleeper, nnd despite the Intense heat of lust night he rested well and did not leave his bed until nearly lo o'clock. After breakfast lit- and Mrs. Bryan took a arrluge- at the Clifton House, were they were stopping and drove to the Knglcwood Presbyterian curch. where they attended divine ser vice. They selected that house of wor ship because the temporary minister. Itev. John Clark Hill, of Austin. Ills., usedto be the pastor of their church lit Lincoln and they wanted to meet Mm. Mr. Hill reently received u call to the First Presbyterian church in Lincoln, and will go there In a few weeks. After services they returned to their hotel and had dinner. At six o'clock Mrs. Bryan attended a Christian P.ndeavor service. Mr. Bryan's plans at New York and for his New Ktiglund trip uhc in a state of uncertainty.

Tcvns Populists to Fuse wi!b Repub licans and Gold Democrats. Galveston, Tex.., Aug. 9. Th Pop ulist convention adjourned sine die last evening after completing the tat-' ticket. The significant features of the s?s sion and those which add further con firmation to the deal to fuse with Re publicans und gold standard lK-mu-crats -was the failure of the resolu tions committee to report on the "N i Watson, no Bryun" resolutions. But more than this wus the failure of the convention to ratify the thirteen elec tors by congressional districts. MR. SINGERLY'S POSITION. He Dues Not Propose to Be Read Out ol Democratic Party by the Populists. Philadelphia, Aug. 9. The Hwrd toinoi row wllj say editorially: The Ueeord lias not failed to observe, If It has railed to heed, the demand made by various standing committeemen and newspaper editors that Its publisher shall forthwith withdraw from his place at the head of the Democratic "electoral ticket. Under our present system of choosing presidents and vice presidents the position of an elector curries with it no option or authority except what has been done by authority except to certify what has been done by the voters. Whether Mr. gingerly shall withdraw from the place in which he was put by the Democracy of the state without solicitation Is therefore a matter of no consequence us affecting any po litical result. The call of authority or competence und has no motive that carries It out of the range of eon Utnpt. As a matter or fact .Mr. Sln gerly hud underconslilerutlon the propriety of withdrawing from the electoral ticket before he did nut as a bank president come within the excluding terms of the law. The unexpected result of the pro ceedings at Chicago und the unfortunate participation uf Pennsylvania Democrats In the choice of a candidate after the ataiidotimeiit ot Democratic principles III the adoption of a Populist platform, made It proper that the eleclois named at Al lentown should iiwntt whatever new deter minations the steadfast Democrats of Uie state and country should reach. So Mr. Hirfei'ly sticks. No mun need feur that McKlnley will fail at he proper time to uvull hifself of proper oporttiiily to avoid the humiliation ulolved III casting the electarol vale or Pennsylvania for Kryun and SewuU In any unlocked for contingency. But the Populists cannot read him out of the Dem ocratic party. He believed on Democratic principles and will support iheni as long as his tongue can wag or there Is breut ill his boirv. Meantime he will be the sole judge of what Is due to the Democrats of Pennsylvania, who hav honored hlin. and mauds also what Is due his own self-respect. SHOT BYA NEGRO.

Major McKlnley at Work on His Letter of AcceptanceOhio Campaign to Be Opened Saturday. Canton, O., Aug. 9. This week will be one of the quiet ones of the campaign In Cuntou. one or two delegations are expected und Mujor McKlnley may make two or three short speeches, but he hopes to give u great deal of time in the next ten days to his letter of ac ceptance. It Is likely thut It will be finished by the end tf tlie third week In August, but he dues not expect to pub Hull It before the first of September. Mr. Hoburt will commence work on his letter very soon und If the usual cus tom be followed he will send a copy of it to Major McKlnley a week or so be fore it Is given to the public. llujoi- McKlnley's letter will be his longest and most formal utterunce dur ing the campaign and he will enter upon a careful discussion of the two great Issues, "protection and sound money." These Issues are almost equul tn Im portance in the opinion of Major Mc Klnley, as Indicated In his speeches. Scores of political friends, however, who come here from vurous parts of the country seek to impress upon him that the popular Interest In the money ques tion is declining and by the middle of September the tariff will be the issue of paramount Importance. However this may be. Major McKlnley is amply prepared to discuss both of the ques tions und In his letter of acceptance Ire will not overlook either of them. The Ohio campaign will be opened on .Saturday next at Columbus. The event will be of more than ordinary Import ance. The meeting will be uddressed by Senator John Sherman and Senator elect J. B. Foraker. Senator Sherman's speech on Suturduy will be looked upon very generally us the first step In his campaign fur re-election to the United States senate. Senator Shorman says ho is preparing his speech with great care and I. is his wish to have it the most effective exposition of the linauclal question he has ever made. The promi nence of finance in the politics of the day leads Senator Sherman's friends to believe tlntt what politicians rather vugucly term the "logic of the situation" points to the election of Senator Sher man as his own successor. In a state which has so many ambitious and able men us Ohio there are sure. to be several candidates for the senate and Mr. Sher man will no doubt llnd some opposition when the next legislature meets to choose his successor. The name of Mark Huuiia Is frequently mentioned in connection with the senatorshlp, but wholly without the warrant of Mr. Ilaniia himself. The Columbus meeting will call forth Mr. Foruker's first political utterance since the week of the Republican con vention ut St. liiiuis and there is. al ways a great deal of Interest to both see and hear hi in. He has prepared his speeech thoroughly, and with 'Senator Sherman, und Major McKlnley's letter if acceptance, will show very clearly upon whu't lines tlie Republican tight is to be conducted and what urgumuuts are to be urged upon the people.

ELOQUENCE OF THE SCRANT0NIAN Before an Audience Composed Prin cipally of Silver Advocates, Deiuo cruts and Populists He Makes an Able Defense of the Gold Ntaudurd Against Arguments by an F.vpcrt. Special to The Tribune. Forest City, Pa., Aug. 9. One of the most Important political events, If not the most Important, in the history of tills young city took place last night when A. J. colborn. Jr.. of Scran ton, and Hon. William H. Berry, of Chester, Pa., met In platform debute before a crowd of about 1,500 persons. The debate was In Midway Grove, situated between For est City and the Vandllng car terminus. Mr. Berry, who Is a carpet manufac turer and is generally known as a Phlla delphlun, espoused tlie cause of free sli ver; Mr. Colborn championed gold as the standard of value. The one. Is a student In economics, who has for years, In the Prohibition party, been a recog nized unthority on the great national Issues; the other is the Scran ton attor ney whose persuasive and eloquent tongue and knowledge of political events have for many years made him one of the most sought-after platform speakers of the state. These two well known men by their higlc and eloquence have given Forest City political food for reflection which will last until well ulong into the campaign. Their argu ment wus unique In that It was a pres entation of the real Democratic and the real Republican principles before an audience and under auspices that wus Prohibition, and back of all that was Rev. J. C. Hogan. In that respect Mr. Colborn, the gold representative, was at a disadvantage. The audience had been previously pledged to sliver. The debute was the opening feature of what is a series of "Reform" meet ings being conducted under Mr. Hogan's management. They are being held In the open air at the grove and thus far at the several dally sessions have at trai led large audiences, but none so lurge as that which heard Mr. Colborn and Mr. Berry lust night. Mr. and Mrs. Beverldge, of Nebraska, two profes sional Prohibition singers who have been heard throughout the union, de voted a half-hour to song at the begin nlng of the meeting. It was arranged that Mr. Berry should be the first speaker. He occupied three quarters of an hour and Mr. Colborn an hour. Mr. Berry then consumed fifteen minutes In a futile effort to answer the Republican 'speaker's militant argn ment. The silver orator was at the last stute election the Prohibition candidate for state treasurer. It was he who made the much-quoted silver speech at the recent national Prohibition conven tion at Pittsburg. It waj against one of such acknowledged repute that Mr. Colborn was asked to appear, though the Scrunton gentleman hud supposed until late on Thursday that he was to simply make a speech before a Repub lican gathering and that tlie debatlve feature was not to be a part of It. Jiow ever. Mr. Colborn with an uusympa thetic audience before him, accepted the situation and delivered what was con ceded by all to be a brilliant uddress and delivered It in sum a forceful, logi cal way that Its effect will not soon be lost on the voters of Forest City. When Mr. Colborn arose to respond to Mr. Berry there was an applause that was loud and lasting. This recog tiltion came chiefly from the Republi can minority in the audience, but it was shared to a certain extent by the three- cornered Prohlbltion-Deinocratlc-Popu llstlc element who applauded solely out of respect to the speaker's character and repute. His speech, delivered In Mr. Colltorn's own peculiar style and eloquence, won for him at least the sym pathy und In many Instances the con version of his auditors. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Colborn wus obliged to hurry to the depot to catch the lust train for Svran- loii and he could not remain to hear the sliver man's closing argument. This wus a presentation of statistics In refu tatiou of statements which Mr. Colborn did not make and an attempted expla tuition of how a 53-cent dollar will by self-regulation be worth one hundred cents Intrinsically. DIDN'T WANT INTERFERENCE. Fighting Hungarian Turn on an O lltcer Who Tried to Stop Them. Patrolman Karlus, the recently ap pointed member from the Tenth, ex perlenced for tlie flint time, yesterduy, the unpleasant side of a policeman's life. Ttwo lighting Hungarians whom he tried to separate on the Delaware Lackawanna & Western depot pu It form turned upon him when he cunie be tween them and but for the timely arrival of Seclal fiffloer SchaTlmnn and citizen William Coburn It might have gone ill with the new patrolman.
