THE OMAHA DAILY -JJHE : fVUNDAY , JULY 10 , 1890. " 'rhako ft straight-out fight for a .separate ticket and platform. At the Oklahoma Bryan Iieadauarters there was much jubilation over Indications of the growing strength of the movement to Indorse Ilryan and Sewatl. TclcKiams were received from Rhode Island , Connecticut , Michigan and Texas delegations , xrho announced that they would take a position In the .middle-of-the-road column , In other words , would favor n straight and a purely populist declaration of principles. Among the arrivals this morning was Governor Stone of Missouri. Ho came. It Is ftald , In response to a telegram from some of the populists who are In favor ot thn nomination or endorsement of Bryan , and In to do missionary work among the middle- of-tlic-road contingent. The latter are to hold a mass meeting at the Llndell hotel Sunday afternoon to start the Movement against Bryan , and Governor Stone nnd other friends of the democratic candidate will try to neutralize the efforts of the oppo. Bltlon. Secretary J. H. Turner of the populist na tional committee , who arrived this morn ing. Is outspoken In tils desire that his con- yen t Ion shall endorse Bryan and Sowall. "It Is the practical and patriotic thing for IIR to do. " said ho. "If wo fall to do It we will Jcopardl7o the vital Issue of this cam paign free silver , an original tenet of the populist fallh. I bellevo free silver Is lo win , anyhow , and If wo fall to endorse the only man who stands any chance of win ning for the cause of silver wo will be shorn .of any glory except as Individuals and be classed as Its enemy. " "With that view do you think your con vention will name a straight ticket ? " "Yes , but It will bo a minority ticket. The majority of populists are not going to fritter away a principle so dear to them as lias always been the restoration of silver to its constitutional function as a money inctal , "OuUldo of administration circles the democratic party Is decidedly for Bryan , and the administration will find Itself well nigh deserted by the tlmo Iho campaign waxes warm. With the rank and file of office holders It Is off with the old and on with the new. Those fellows In the de partments want to hold on to their Jobs for jour years more. The republicans are scared. Their only hope Ig for a third ticket , and they are going to leave nothing undone to bring about the nomination of ono hero. " SILVER MEN WILL ENDORSE. Sergeaiit-at-arms Doud of the national silver convention has nindo all the prellmln- , ary arrangements for the convention. This evening a committee of prominent business men ot this city , Irrespective of party nfllllallons. called on Chairman Mott of the national silver committee nnd assured him that sufficient money would bo raised by them to defray the expenses of the conven tion. Chairman Mott said this evening that ho expected the convention to bo In session until Friday night at the least. It has been definitely settled that Congressman Francis O. Newlnnds of Nevada will bo temporary chairman and It Is conceded that William I1. St. John ot New York will bo permanent presiding officer. George P. Keenoy ot Cali fornia will bo secretary. Expressions from idolegates who have arrived thus far for the silver convention seem to Indicate that .Ilryan will be endorsed by It. Secretary George P. Kecney has n plan , which is that when the two conventions meet there shall ' bo n Joint conference committee charged 'with the duty of making a report to the committee upon the demands of both con ventions. "If this can bo done , I believe , " Bald he , "that within two days an agreo- , incnt can bo rca'ched which will favor the endorsement ot Bryan. If this is not done , then it may be agreed that the silver men shall go ahead and nominate Bryan as If he had never been mentioned before. It looks from present Indications that this will bo the action of tho/fillvcr men anyhow. " The leaders this morning formulated a new demand , which meets the approval of the populists who have been consulted. It Is that they shall insist upon the with drawal of all democratic congressional nominees who are "sound money" or gold standard men. If they will not withdraw , , that the silver men and populists will unite In putting up , in every' congressional dis trict , a free silver candidate. This , it Is , urged , should be presented to the national democratic committee as an ultimatum. The populists , It is understood , are to concen trate their work and attempt to elect a con gress which will favor free silver , and to ac complish this it Is necessary to have the co operation of the democrats. The populists .who . are opposed to Mr. Bryan say that if ho Is nominated , the delegates of Massa chusetts , Rholc Island and Connecticut and possibly Tennessee will bolt. The national executive committee of the people's party held a meeting behind closed doors today and transacted considerable bus iness of a routine nature. Chairman Taubo- neck .presided , ami those present were J. II. Turner. Washington , D. C. ; George F. Wash- burn , 'Boston ' ; J. II , Davis , Texas ; George F. Qalthor , Alabama , and V. O. Strlckler. Nebraska , a baio quorum. M. O. Raskin of Terre Haute , Ind. ; Ignatius Donnelly ot Hastings , Minn. , and Lawrence McParlln of Lockport , N. Y. , had not arrived , but came in tonight. The disposition of the tickets to the convention was decided upon. Each national conimltteenum will bo given live and each delegate and alternate , according .to the distance ho lives from St. Louis , one or moro. No one will receive moro than three , the nearby delegates getting tbo .largest number. Five thousand tickets thai liad been awarded lo Iho Businessmen's .league wcro boughl back at : ! ' cents each. Thqso tickets will bo sold at the rate of fl each , ono ticket admitting to three ses sions , If there are thai many , .1 day. None will bo given away , and Sergeant-at-Arms McDowell Is to bo required to account for each ticket used , Badges for the delegates will bo sold for CO cunts each , and those for alternates for 23 cents. The proceeds from the sale of badges and tickets will go Into . tbo campaign fund , the expectation being that several thousand dollars will be realized for the tickets and badges.

There are reasons for believing Chairman Tmibcneek's secret mis sion to this city had to do with unothur populist convention to bo hold by the mld- Ulo-of-lhc-road faction of the party In case the regular convention at St. Louis en dorses Bryan.

At the conference today of the democratic dele gates to the Chicago convention , who refused to vote for a presidential nominee , an address - dross to the party In Wisconsin was drawn. It recites the course pursued by the silver men In the convention , tells of the policy carried out by the Wisconsin delegates fa- , vorlng a gold standard and says : j "The platform adopted by the Chicago convuitlon Is directly at variance with the j doctrines which , since Its creation , have Ixen a part of the creed of the democratic party. While democracy has for nearly * a century been the advocate of honest money and at all times opposed to Its debasement , ho Chicago convention declared In favor of compelling the citizens of the United States o tccclve as a dollar one-half Its value In he product of a single Industry. While the lemocratlc party has sturdily maintained hat courts In which Justice is administered ihould ho above and beyond political con- rol. the convention at Chicago adopted a csolutlon looking to the reconstruction of ho supreme court of the United States to ccompllsh the reversal of Its decision. Vhllo wo condemned the use of that court n 1877 for political purposes and to accom- ) llsh the Inauguration as president of a andldato not elected ; while we denounced an appointment made by a republican prcs- lent to a position In the court for the pur- > ese of reversing a decision which denied ho rights of the government to Issue paper noncy In times of peace , we arc asked by ho resolution referred to to adopt the same Methods which wo have condemned In our opponents. That convention refused to op- irovo of the fidelity and honesty of the one democratic national administration elected luring the past forty years. The principles 'iiuuciated In the Chicago platform , other han those in favor of the free coinage of silver , are socialistic In their character and commend themselves to the communists of the country. The candidate chosen by that convention publicly announced his Intention cara ago to leave the democratic party and fight for free silver In the ranks of the pop- ullstlc party. "Under these circumstances , the under signed delegates at that convention con sidered It their duty under their Instructions to oppose with the utmost vigor the adop tion of the platform , and after It was adopted to decline to vote for the candidate who represented It. We have thought only proper to make report of our action to the democrats of Wisconsin , and to say that a crisis Is now Imminent , such as has never In the history of the democratic party con fronted It. Its enemies predict its dis solution ; Its false friends Invite Its ab sorption by the populist party. Such en emies and false friends are untrustworthy and mistaken. The democratic principled are the foundation upon which a free gov- jrnmont rests ; they are firmly established In the hearts of the American people ; they cannot be destroyed so long as the love uf liberty and a belief In a republican form of government exists. No act of men seiz ing forcibly upon the machinery of the party can control the votes of democrats believ ing In those principles. We have faith to believe that a largo ma jority of the democrats ot Wis consin arc as much today In favor of the principles declared by our state convention us when the declaration was made. Wo liavo entire confidence that If a proper op portunity would be afforded to that majority to express Its views In a mesa meeting , or convention to be called at some date not far distant , the true principles of demo cratic faith will again be pronounced In no uncertain tone and that some way will be found by which democrats can cast their votes In favor of a democrat and at the same time against the protectionist nom inated by the St. Louis convention and the populist nominated by the Chicago con vention.

( Special. ) After the news reached 1'onca last week that the man of pyrotechnic oratory had secured the nomination for president at Chicago , there seemed to be great enthusiasm abroad In the city , and to assist In the contagion , the few radical free silver men iu the different par ties raised a fund and Invested It in several wagonloads of store boxes , which they set aflame after dark , amid a few yells for Bryan. The populace had caught flro over the state-pride end of the Chicago joke , and to an outsider It looked us if the whole town of I'onca had taken up free silver. A week of cooling oft has worked a grand change , as was demonstrated last night by one of the most enthusiastic and largest gatherings of the kind ever held In I'onca. Ono lone man started out this afternoon and circu lated the report that there would he a meet ing at the court house for the purpose of or ganizing a McKlnley club. At the hour named the largo court room was well filled with the most representative business men In the city and several from the country. Rvery one present seemed anxious to pro ceed to business and In very short order a substantial McKinley club was organized and the various and necessary committees were appointed. Those present then greedily signed resolutions pledging their support to MuKinley. Next Friday night the club will give its first public meeting and the committee appointed will have arranged an Interesting program , consisting of mu sic , readings and a general discussion of the political issues ot the campaign , These meetings will be held at stated times from now until after the election. The club will open headquarters iiv the city and will strive to see that local clubs In every township In the eourty will bo organized.

Ono address will bo adopted by the four delegates and Issued to explain the course pursued by the gold delegates from Wisconsin to the national democratic convention. Dragg's address is short and charges the south and populists with over throwing the long-established rules and cus toms of the party and being controlled by the spirit of Coxoy and Herr Most. Tlio address ot Senator Vllas scores thu conven tion for refusing to endorse the Cleveland administration , declares that fruu silver means lulu to the country , and urges the party to nominate a straight gold ticket.

MNCOL.X. July IS. ( Special. ) Candidate Ilryan arose late this morning , but he was hardly astir In the house before he waa besieged by callers. Ono of the earliest was Mr. Austin Humphrey of the Lincoln hotel , who come to the house to Inform Mr. Bryan that a suite of rooms on the second floor of the hotel was at his service for headquarters , and that they had already been paid for In advance. * Another early caller was Mr , Uryan's law partner , A. H. Talbot. T. S. Allen of the postolllco brigade was also early on the ground. A number of out-of-town people wandered In to pay their respects to the candidate. The newspaper men he has with htm always and It Is what they nro going to say that evi dently moro deeply Interested the nominee. Mr. Ilryan at once said that he declined to be Interviewed on the political situation , although hu was not averse to describing the paralyzed condition of his hand , which Is suffering from the last w.cek's exposure to the spasmodic graups of thousands. In regard to the project to give Lincoln the so-by In receiving the democratic no tification committee , Mr. Hryan appears to labor under a delusion that the citizens ol Lincoln have gone over to free sllvcrlsm and anarchy , foot , horse and dragoons. Ho said : "I do not see why the people should feel slighted , Lincoln Is the homo ot my friends and they certainly desired me to do what Is to bo of the greatest advantage to me , rather than what they would personally pre fer themselves. In other words , I think the people of this city , who nre my friends , should place the good of thu campaign above the good of the city alone. H Is only after thorough consideration that I have decided to receive the notification committee In New York , and I think that 1 have decided wisely. " Tioi.i.mt wn.i. sui'poiiT nu VAX.

Teller of Colorado there can bo no longer any doubt. Mr. Bryan today received a letter from Senator Teller , In which he told him he would support him Iu his race for president. The letter reads as follows : DKNVKH , Colo. . July 15. Hon. W. J. Ilryan , Lincoln , Neb. : Dear Kir I con gratulate you on your nomination at Chi cago. 1 think the country is to bo congrat ulated also. 1 need not assure you that your nomination was more than satisfac tory to me. I think we shall be able to consolidate all thu frlmids of free silver In your support , and If wo do this 1 believe you will bo elected , although I do not over look the tremendous power that will be put against us In this campaign. All the power of mo : > oy ami organized wealth , cornora- tious and monopolies of all kinds will bo against us. Justice Is on our side and this Is the cause of the people. It Is a content for industrial Independence and for free dom from the domination of foreign powers anil foreign capitalists , and It does not seem possible that In suqli n contest before the American people that justice should fall and wrong prevail. I do not bolltive we shall fall. I think I can promise you the cordial support of the western sil ver men , who have heretofore acted with the republican party , and If you get that I think all of the western coast ami Inter- rnountaln states , will bo with you. 1 will not offer any suggestions to you save to advlso you that , as you wcro nominated wlthout''pledgos of favpr or privileges 'to my one , you maintain that position and make no pledges or promises , so , that you may go Into the great oltlco of president of the United States without the emlmr- assment that follows pledges and promises , oven if they are such as may be properly carried out. It will afford mo pleasure to place myself at the disposal of the national pmmlttee to make speeches in your l > e- lialf , as my health will permit , where and when It may think I will do good. I am , very respectfully , H. M. TKLLKIl. This letter greatly pleased Mr. ' Bryan. When Mr. Ilryan had finished his breakfast this morning , he turned his attention to the vast amount of mail that had accumulated In his absence. There were over 5,000 let ters to be opened and read , and among the first to bo opened was that from Mr. Teller. The letters were taken to Mr. IJryan'a home , where ho and his wife , In their library , [ > egan the arduous task of reading them. Mr. Bryan will not attempt to answer all of them until ho bos established headquarters and secured a private secretary. He will only attend to the more important letters. Mr. Bryan was frequently Interrupted by callers. Among the gentlemen to call today was G. F. Washburn of Boston , a member of the populist national committee , and T. M. Patterson , editor of the Hocky Mountain News of Denver. Extensive preparations are boins made for the reception ot the dele gations from Colorado , Wyoming and Utah , who will stop hero Monclay to pay their respects to Mr. Dryan.
