Mr. Osborne in ringing tones assert od that the agents of a certain “multi millionaire” had Leen engaged In de bauching the party io their efforts to capture the delegates to the state con- vention at Buffalo from county couven- tions. He declared that these agents had stopped at uothing to gain their end. They bad used money, influence, chicanery and criminal practices In or der to compel delegates to plo their al legiance to thelr employer. Mr. Os borne entered a passionate protest against such methods and implored Democrats to repudiate such men and such measures. “Mus{ we submit to be purchased by a multimillionaire for his use? he cried While most of those responsible for calling the meeting disclaimed its be- ing in the interest of or opposed to any particular candidates for the Dem. ocratic nomination for governor, it was privafely conceded on all hands that it was slmed chiefly to prevent If pos sible the momination or iadorsement by the state convention at Bulfalo of William BR.

Bryan has reached this city, and the “howe folks” welcomed him with ev- ery evidence of approval and satisfac tion. It was a neighborly welcome, planned as such and carried out as planned. Lincoln bas more Republicans than Democrats, but there was go line of partisan division, nod the welcome ex- tended to both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan was slucere and joyful. Everybody showed good nature; nobody wanted to quarrel about politics, and nearly the whole population showed that it was genuinely glad that Mr. Bryan lives here, It Is doubtful whether Lincoln ever held a larger crowd than that which came to the city. The weather, bar. ring the heat, was fine.

Of the Kalser's Three Challengers Wannssee Did the Best Work, but Neue of Them In It Wh Our Fliers. MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Sept 0.-— Three American boats salle! across the Anish line in the race for the Roosevelt cup well in advance of the three German challengers, The Vim, designed by William Gard- per and owued Ly Commodore T. Lo Park of the American Yacht club of New York, won the contest through ber brilliant windward work, coupled with splendid runniug qualities. CIif- ford Buckman, ber amateur skipper, sailed the craft jorfectly the secoud time over the course, althouzh be Jost during the first time Ly taking a loug hitch inshore with the tide The Caramba, owned by C. HL W. Foster, was the secoud boat, Snishing thirty-two seconds behind the Vim while the Auk, wigner of Monday's race, was third to Huish, twenty two seconds behind the Caramba. Of the three German challeugers the Wanunssee did the best work, but at that no one of them sevined to have a chance with the American yachts at uny stage of the race. The Wannssee finished the race 3 minutes 20 seconds behind the Vim and was thirty seven seconds ahead of the Glueckaur IV, the fifth racer to fluish. The Tilly VIL, the pride of the German fleet and win- ner of nearly All the races for the Sonder Klasse at Kiel, Germany, was the last boat across the finish line. The Tilly VI. had luck on the first leg to windward, getting into all the soft spots. She was an even nine min utes behind the Vim at the end of the race. The German yachismen express ed themselves as much surprised at the results of the two races that have been sailed, but do not admit yet that their chances of lifting the Roosevelt Cup Are gone. the three American boats led the way at the end of the first round of the courve and were at the fore during the remaluder of the ruce. For a time it Jooked as If the Wanussee was golug to reach the windward wark iu the van, but this was due to a slight shift in the wind which let up the German craft ulcely, The start of the yachts was excel lent, and although thers was some close work at the line there was no danger of foullng. The German skip- pers demonstrated that they know the fine points of mapeuvering behind the line, for all three of their boats were berthed at the windward end of the line, with the Vim and Auk under their lee. The Caramba was several lengths astern of the Germans, but close to the committee boat. All the racers took short tacks to starboard or port, alm- ing for a favoring streak of wind. First one boat and then another bad stronger air. Little shifts in the wind from one to three polots put first one yacht and then another in the lead. Nearing the outer mark the breeze became truer, and then the battle set- tiled to one between the three American yachts, the Auk and the Caramba hav- Ing a particularly close battle. Spin- pakers were used on the run back to the starting line, and while the Auk and Yim were eugaged ino a lufling match the Caramba pulled away a trifle. Rounding the flag mark at the start sheets were hauled flat for a second beat to the windward. The Vim took a very long tack to port and was favor- ed by a less bow tide. When she came about on the starboard tack a half mile from the turning mark she crossed the bows of the entire feet. Then she led the fleet on tn 9 finish Liner to Make an Trial Trip. NEW YORK, Sept 6. — Aunounce- ment Is made that the North German Lloyd Steamship llue has decided to send a steamer on a trial trip from Bremen via Baltimore to Charleston and Savannah.
