WASIIIXOTOK , D. C. , April 2.1.-lSpclnl to
TUB UEB.J Mr. Bryan's triumphal trip
oomo seems to have missed the moranguc on
Iho top ot the pie. Truo. ho had the ex
pected reception nt Lincoln , the calU for "a
peceh" : nnd on opportunily to pose as a
lalctman before the dcmocrallo convention
at Oinahn , But ho appears to hnvo inlssca
the two avowed objects ot his Journey. HU
congressional action in favor ot a debased
currency was notondorsod by tils dotnocralla
constlluonls nnd there is no record of n
spontaneous movement on his behalf as n
vice presidential candidate. His failure on
the llrstof thcso plans excites some comment
in Washington , where Mr. llrynn's homo
strength is now thought to have been pl'ilnty
ovornlud , Few were In Iho secret of his
asplrnllnns to preside over the United Stnlei
senate. They were known , however , to some
of his friends nnd wcro quietly announced
nhorttv before Iho unfortunate lihodo Island
campaign , In whirh Mr. Ilryan participated.
Hut the projected boom scorns to hnv.o died
n-bornin' . Its early decease will not receive
much sympathy from ibis end of the line ami
few laurel wreaths of lenrful congressional
condolence will bo laid on its llttlo u-ravo.
Apropos of Bryan's silver vagaries , n
prominent young democrat of Lincoln baa
written Congressman Harlcr thnt the demo
cratic convention at Omaha wai really at
loust three to Iwo against silver nnd that on
n full vote of those who ought to have been
present , IJryan's resolution would have boon
snowed under instead of having been do >
fcatcd by only nineteen votes. Of course 1
don't know how thnt was. I do know , how
ever , that Mr. OfCutt's aDlo nnd emphatic
management of the convention from the
chair bus been much commented upon lieu
by many prominent domocrals who Know
htm when ho was speaker of Iho Kontnckj
boufio of representatives , and who ncvoi
omit any opportunity to any something
plcr.sanl about his Jucksonlan democracy am
ublliiy as a lawyer nnd politician , Senate !
Curlislo Is ono of the public men who takes
nn Interest In Offutt's welfare , and Govcrnoi
Caleb W. West of Utah Is another ,
They both say that a turbulent demo
cralio assemblage is not an unfnnill
iar scone in our Omnha attorney , am
that ho can generally hold bis owt
In a political scrimmage , at anything fron
breaking n guvcl to breaking refractory
heads. Oftutt , when In IConludky , pnrllci
pntt-d promlncnlly In Iho Williams-Black
burn senatorial eon test , nud Ihougb a men
boy at the tlmo inndo a name for virile ng
f-resslvcncss and persistent pugnacity which
still affects iho Blue Grass atmosphere.

In company with. IlonrlVattor30i ! , Con
Kroasman Bnnlon McMlllIn , General Trace ;
of Now York nnd olhor tariff reformers , ells
cussing iho slate of the union and the pros
poets of democracy. Governor Morton ex
presses no regret at not having taken part ii
the stale democratic ! convention. I don1
think that bo enthuses over Clovclant
any more than bis old friend Dr
Miller. llo is as much in toucl
with Iho Cleveland boomers as ho is will
theO wno feel thnt another ticket wouh
nurobably command moro votes. Govcrno
Morton has bcon extensively Interviewed b.i
the nntlrfiilvcr democrats t > lnco ho came ti
VVnsbinctou. Congressman Harlerof Ohio
who Icd'ihe anti-frca coinage light , is an oh
frloh'd of Mr. Morton's , and has hcei
extending to him all Ibo courtesies of thi
house side of Iho capital. On Friday
" J , Sterling held quite a Icvco li
tno house rostaraunt , where ho elificoursei
upon democratic prospects iu the won
with his usual lluoncy of diction and plctur
osqucness of Illustration. Ho assured hi
friends that an educational campaign fo
Round money would In his opinion produce ' a
certain and as stable results in the llno'o
democratic success as had Iho cducatlonii
campaign upon the tariff question. Ho ns
sorted tuat cowarutco cannot win in politic
any more than In business , ana that , the pea
iblo loss of a few alliance votes was loss t
bo feared than the permanent alienation o
the young and Intelligent voters , who h

General Whoaton's nomination to th
brigadiorshlp which ban boon vacant sine *
the 1st of January ended ono of the lougos
nnd most bitlor fights for promotion whlcl
has boon known in Washington for years
The president gave no Intimation of his In
tontlon to any ono until the day before th
nomination went in , when n dcclsioi
was reached after half an hour's consul
tallon with the secretary of war. Presl
dent Harrison after nearly four month
consideration fixed upon General Whoatoi
ns the best titled oflhacandldalcs for the posl
tlon on account of his long and dislinguishci
service aud the fael lhat ho headed the active
tivo list of colonels nf infantry on duly. II
Is also said lo hnvo stated that Gonorn
Wlicaton's extended frontier duly and nb
ccnco of favorable details east bad their o (
feel upoti him as well as the added fact tha
ho had entered iho nnny from u civilian college
logo instead of from the military acndom ;
prior to Iho war. Tin ; Bi'.u alone of westcri
papers received tlio exclusive announcomcn
that General Whenton's name would go in
A half hour before tbo nomination was made
I talked wilh Senator and ex-Sec
rotary of War Proclor , who n
that late moment and wbilo tin
messenger was carrying General Whoaton'
nomination to tbo capital , expressed his be
lief that another candidate would bo sc
lectecl. It Is nn Interesting fact that not )
of iho backers of Ibo various ofllcors slrlvin
for iho honor received up lo iho vorv last an ,
suggestion as to tbo colonel upon whom th
president's choice would fall. Senator Man
dcrson informs mo that in repeated con vet
EBtlons with Ihc president during the cours
of which ho pressed General Whoaton'
claims most strongly , ho did not receive
word of encouragement from the chief c >
ccutivo or the slightest intimation us t
whether General Wheaten would bo favon
bly or unfavorably considered.
' f-
Tbero wore of course many elisappolnio
candidates. Colonel William P. Carlin o
the Fourlh infantry probably fools his dlsaf
polulmont most keenly , llo bus bcon I
Washington for many months pressing h
claim for recognition and felt a strong ussui
unco of ullimalo success. Colonel Carr c
the Sixth cavalry had the inlluontlal bacleln
of Sejcreiary of War Klklns , who uruod ver
earnestly bis promotion. It is understoc
that Colonel Cnrr lias the best chant
for the next vacancy , which wi
occur in Juno when General Stanley retire
Colonel Coppiuper's claims resolved ama
consideration , Ills falhcr-ln-lnw , Secrettu
lilaltio , was expected to demand iho prnmi
tion as n personal recognition of past pollt
cal fuvorn , but Is said to have declined to ei
anything moro man prusont his name ft
such recognition ns Iho president mighl sc
lit in give it. 'Colonel Klwell S. Oils of Ih

Senator Paddock'j'pure food bill is re

Iho representatives of industries in whic
adulteration plays a financial part. Tliei
bos boou n concerted lUUck upoa Itrocentl
by- democratic paper * whoso ostenstbi
ground ot opposition is the old fauiillt
chestnut of "slralnliiff the constitution an
Invading the prerogative of tbo btutes.
This is of COUIEO mere subterfuge. The hi
upon which iho senator and his commltte
have spent .Iwo years of unremitting labe
i-an affect nothing but articles of Internal
commerce and can Interfere with no honci
industry or honorable manufacturer. Bi
the great fortunes made In some lines c
business today have been accumulate
through dlshoutU practice ) * which Senate
Paddock's measure will expose and the mon
who are selling ground peanut shells for cln-
nninon , baked clay for cofToo beans ,
not to speak ot thn manufacturers who
nro destroying Hfo by sophisticat
ing drugs , are naturally opposed lo a
moisuro which might decrease their unlaw
ful profit * . Consequently , now that the bill ,
having to their surprise passed the senate
nftcr a hard sirugglo ana been reported in
the houso. reaches a plnco where It is likely
lo bo considered und passed , thcso gentlemen
nro calling upon democrats to resist an inva
sion ot the constitution nna an assault upon
Iho rlchts of inhabitants of n stale lo do us
Ihoy plca o without federal Interference.
The excuse Is n very thin and shallow ono ,
but It furulshcs n peg upon which lo tmnc
opposition. Inasmuch as under Iho rules of
the present house there Is no method by
which debate can bo closed , Senator Pad-
dock'j bill is likely to have a bnrd ro.id ever
whli-li to travel to the white house for the
president's signature.
* V
Both the United Stales senators from Ne
braska recorded themselves lust week in
opposition to Senator Kyle's amendment
striking out the words "gold coin" in the
Arizona funding net nnd substituting these
ot "lawful money of the United States. "
The frco coinage advocates tnt'i o senate at-
lomplod to make an isr.uo upon sliver In Ihc
vote which followed nlihough the delegate
from Arizona , hlmsolf nn ardent sil
ver man , protested most vigorously against
Ihc charge on Iho ground lhat Iho act ns
dratted was advisably drawn with tbo phra.'o
n question In order lo make a readier sale
'or the bonds of iho territory abroad.
Senator ? Maudcrson and Paddock each voted
ngamsl sinking out the words "gold coin. "
Senator Maiidcrsoti is now Jin avowed
opponent of a frco coinage uct
or of any chnngo in existing laws
until nn international conference set
tles upon n universal ratio between silver
nud gold. Senator Paddock is said to favor
; ho vciuoncllzallon of silver by an net re
stricting the coinage to American produced
silver. Both senators , however , Insist that
their vote on tbp funding act hnel nothing to
do with the silver question , but was bascil
[ inrely upon business principles , the whiles
of tbo pcoplo of Arizona , who had bonds to
soil , unel iho assertions of Ihclr representa
tive thai a cold bond could bo moro advan
tageously disposed of.
The \\Vomlnir cattle war has excited great
interest In thu capital. Senators Carey aud
Warren hnvo been greatly concerned und In
almost daily conference with the president
nnd secretary of war regarding the silnallon ,
Tbo dally papers have devoted much space
to the Incidents , but almost without excep
tion lake Ihc part of Iho cattlemen as against
the so-called rustler. Major Frank Wolcotl
is well known In Washington and the promi
nence of his name In connection with the
Iroublo has added now 7.011 to the Interest
which reports from the frontier have been
road. When lust In Washington Major Wol-
cou was the guest of Senator Mandcrson.
"I consider him cno of Iho most charming
men wnoml have ever known , " said the sena
tor , "Ho was on ofllcer of the army In
Kentucky during the war , and made a gallant
record in action. Subsequently ho wont wosl
lo engage in ranching , locating near Deer
creek , as I remember it , at a tlmo when the
nearest house was distant from twenty-live
to thirty miles. Ho brought his wlfo with
him lo in at lonely neighborhood , nnd has
lived for a number of yours within a fo-v
miles of what is now the town of Douglas.
From my personal knowledge ot Major
Wolcott 1 believe him incapable of dishon
orable action , or of engaging in uny expodi-
lion wbic.li did not com mend itself to his
good Judgment , us in accordance with right
unel duly. lie Is a small man , but ho has
never known whal fear is , nnd while 1 nn :
without details of Iho causes of Ibo Wyom

A broad intimation is made by Representa
tive Shlvely nnd some other hoosler demo
crats-hero that after all the proceedings of
the Indiana democratic convention on Thurs
day , which conditionally Instructed Its dele
gates for Mr. Cleveland , was not n Cleveland
victory but on the contrary n Hill triumph' .
It Is stated that a tacit agreement , was made
some months ngo nt Albany whereby Gray
was to hole Hill and the latter was to assist
the former in securing delegate ! ) , the not re
sults to bo dually pooled In convention for
the ono having the largest number and that
-iray was accepted by Hill ai a running mate
provided iho ticket , could bo made lo read
illll nnd Gray.
The Intimation was made today that under
.ho Instructions of Thursday iho Indiana
dolcgntcj to Chicago will see from the very
slart MI opening for Gray and vote for him ,
but tbo moment they discover Ihut luolr In-
Iluenco will help Hill they will move In a
body to the Now YorUcr.nnd vlco versa. At
no tlmo , ita \ stated , arc the Indiana dclc-
ifiuew to support Cleveland when their voles
will materially help his chance. In other
words , Gray mnn are Hill men In disguise ,
despite Instructions to the contrary.
Not In tliu Cleveland Column ,
Senator Illll Is reported to have said when
he road the Instructions of the Indiana con
vention of Thursday lhat they were per-
feclly sailsfaclory to him , mid lhat Indiana
wai not in the Cleveland column. Ho has
since that time figured the state outside of
the Cleveland lino. The slgnlllcaut sllouco
of the state platform upon the subject ot
silver is said to have been Iho work of Hill
through Gray men. Il was the wish of
Cleveland that frco coinage bo renounced.
Senator Voorhees. when asked to explain
the result , of the Indiana convention , said
among other things : "One prominent result
was n compromise resolution endorsing
Cleveland's administration without instruc
tions for him , but instructing that Governor
Gray's name bo presented to the convention
and all honorable moans used for his nomin
ation In the event that Mr. Cleveland docs
not carry the convention.1 Since tbo demo
crats rcaulro a two-thirds veto lo nominate ,
Senator Voorhcos and other prominent demo
crats hero say Cleveland will not "carry"
the convention , and therefore tbo Indiana
delegates under1 their instructions will not
bo obliged to vote for Cleveland. They will
vote for Gray till it becomes apparent that
Hill can bo nominated , theu they will sup
port him.

Editor D. N. Richardson of the Davenport
( la. , ) Democrat , n democrat ot the Hnrd
Shell typo , Is here and says : "Out In IOWD
nobody disputes the popularity of Grover
Cleveland. Mr. Hill has no following in our

favorite wilh Iowa democrats. Ho is not a
seeker after ofllco and Is making no effort , to
boom himself , but I only volco tnc conserva

I say that should Governor Bolos bo put on

Senator Paddock today introduced a bill
to pension William H. Pierre , formerly ol
Nebraska.
Tbo bill to tax compound lard , which came
so near of final passage In the last congress ,
has been rolntroduu3d into the senate by
Senator Wilson. If the Paddock pure fooc
bill is not adopted by iho house it is very
probable that Ihc cotton sosd oil states will
have to accept the bill which will impose a
'
tax on compound lard , and which is , 'there
fore , moro of a burden to cotton states.
The Paddock bill moots all the alms desired
by the framcr of the compound lard bill
and at Ibo same time has none of the oojoc-
tions.
Senator Paddock , as chairman from th.e
committee on agriculture and forestry , yes
terday reported favorably the bill for icsliug
the strength of American timber.
Petilions have boon received from a larrc
nu.nbor of Grand Army of Iho Republic peal ?

soldiers. Tim petitions will bo presented lo
Iho sonale by Senator Paddock and It is believed -
lioved they may have the desired effect.
It is probable thut the application of J. II ,
Cook ot Harrison , Sioux county , for the posi
tion of Indian agonl at Pine Rldgo , togothci
with all of his endorsements , will bo laid before -
fore the cabinet by Secretary Noble on next
Tuesday. It was staled today that Iho see-
rolary favors Iho appointment of Mr. Coolc ,
although tbo South D.iltota delegation in
conuross protesis very vigorously against the
appointment of anyone outside of Ihoir state.
It is believed that the president Is in fuvoi

Murray agreed to donate a trad of nix acre :
and wflhdroiv the proposition a few days
later.
Mr. Clarke now proposes to sell thirty-six
acres for $45.000. The difllcully wllh Ihc
proposition is thut Ihoru is no outlet to Ihti
laud from tbo principal streets of Ibo city ,
so iho board could take no action upon the

Tbo national silver committed appointed

vember , 1SPO , at St. Louis , behoving theex -
ogloncy 1ms arisen which calls for earnest
deliberation niul united action on tlio part of
iho friends of bimetallism throughput the
United States , hereby calls a convention to
bo Unown as Iho second national silver con
vention to bo hold at Washington Muy
2(1 nnd U7 , ISM , ono ol the objects
Doing to organize a nnllomtl blmotul-
io association or league for the bat
ter promotion of the causa of free
ji'iiotnlllc coinage. This action Is impelled
by tbo manifest determination on the part of
the gold combination to suppress tliu silver
Issue lor ut least another decade nnd If posal-
Wo perpetuate the syatotn of roobory that
lias been carried on fur twenty yotiM by
moans of a mono ) standard thnt U constantly
increasing in valtio. HU understanding must
bo dofeotlvu who dooi lint Know that the
demonetization of silver Increased the money
standard of the United Stale * , or bis conscience -
science must ho scared when ho would at
tempt to Justify it.
( ioltl ( inuring Krim-er.
But this still goes on nnd as gold grows
scarce and dear and will coiillnuo to grow
scarcer nnd Ucaror until Iho blmutnlllo
standard Is restored and gold relieved of thu
strain of being the only money of Html re
demption for other forms of money nnd
credit. As the money standard it raised ,
prices fall and tlobts arc Increased. The ono
is the counterpart of the other and the whole
is the work ut legislation.
The will of man would not devise a schema
bettor calculated to enrich ono class at the
expanse of another than au Increasing money
standard , and under the operation of tins
device siiico ISTil hundreds of millions of dollars
lars annually of the wealth croilod ; by ono
class have been stotllhily appropriated by
another. For twenty years this tas boon
going on nnd yet a congress pled god to Iho
people to remedy iho wrong hesitates and
pauses as if hypnotizes by the wand of gold.
The Olirstlmi Will Not Down.
The people want no 70-cont dollar , neither
will they forever tolarato , under the hypo
critical pretense of "honest monoy. " a dollar
that has grown to a l.VJ-ccnt dollar and is
still growing at au augmented rate. There
may bo these who are tired of the silver
question , but , the consequences of gold mono
metallism uro threatening to permit the
cause of silver to bo smothered and to glvo
over to ultimata slavery the tellers of the
land. No , the silver question will not down.
It Is nn Issue paramount to all others.
Although it. is necessarily u political
question In the sense that the remedy must
boa political notion , the question of bime
tallic coinage is not u partisan question , and
the convention is not called for any partlnan
purpose but to urge on all parties the justlco
of a question so vital to the public welfare.
The gold monometallism are actlvu and
united and watch all inoioevents. The ; have
unlimited means at their hand. The- control
the metropolitan pros. They dominate con-
vontiona and dictate platforms and candi
dates. The pcoplo will not bo enslaved nor
will they submit forever to the robbery of
an increasing gold standard.
Kvrryboily Invited.
The sllv.T committee in this crisis calls
upon the people to look forward and send
delegates to this convention.
The call Is cxtondod to all who earnestly
favor the Immediate restoration of bimetallic
coinage in the United States , and each con

WASHIXOTOX , D. C. , April 23. In the sen.
ate today Mr. Teller offered a resolution
requesting the president to lay before the
senate all the correspondence that had passed
between the United States and foreign na
tions relative to an international conference
on silver as n monetary medium. The reso
lution was adopted.
Mr ; Call offered a resolution for a commit
tee to report on the capitalization , cost ol

compensation of employe. * , the amount ol
indebtedness , etc. , of nil railroads in the
United States. The motion went ever with
out action.
Mr. Hoar was granted loavu of absence
during the remainder of the session that he
might go to Kuropo to consult authorities on
discuses ol the eye.
The Chinese exclusion bill was then talcou
up.
up.Mr. . Teller addressed the senate , holding
that China had a perfect right to reject Min
ister Porter , whether the grounds on which
the rejection was based be true or false. He
also declared that every nation had a righttc
withdraw from any troaly , These China
men who were in the country with the con-
bent of the United States were entitled to dose
so , and there was no way ho know nf with
out mi Infraction , If not of the law of the
decencies that should bo shown by one nation
to another , to compel the Chinamen now
bore to retire. But the United States 1.ad n
right to say no moro should come. With re
gard to the great trade with China that hail
been spoken of , Mr. Teller denied its ex
istence and said American exports to Chinu
last year wore not ono-balf of what thc.v
were llvo years ago.
Mr. Hlscocic was not In favor of a violation
of treaty'obligations with China or any othui
nation until diplomacy bad exhausted Itsell
In efforts for the amendment of the treaty.

Mr. Fryo said tho. committee on commerce
had been considering iho appropriations it :
the river and harbor bill and the senator !
from tbo Pacific coast had , na usual , in the
interests of their people , been soliciting verj
largo sums. Their main ground for asking
thcso appropriations had boon that the I'u-
cillc commerce was to bo nmlly the commerce
of Iho United States ; that Puget sound wa :
to bo the scone of an enormous oriental com
merro. Now , if the people of the Pacitli
