ST. LOUIS , July 25. Immediately after
I'the adjournment of the populist conven
tion , the Texas delegation got together to
take action as to their course. "Stump"
lAshby got upon a chair and acted as chair
man of th convention. He said there was
no disposition on the part of Texas to have
trouble with anybody. He advised the. dele
gation to meet at the Southern hotel , and
to Invite all the middle-of-the-road men.
It was proposed at once to appoint a commit
tee to wait on Governor Stone and get the
( .telegram ho was said to have from Bryan.
IThls committee consisted of Sam Evans ,
iTexas ; Ulrlch , Wisconsin , and Howard ,
Alabama , although Campion of Maine was
Teubsequcntly substituted for him. Paul
' Vandurvort of Nebraska got a hearing
L tor Washburno of Massachusetts , who tried
to tell the Texans that Bryan was all
| yvrlght , hut he could give them little Informa
tion. Washburnc was bombarded with
questions. They wanted a direct answer
to the quc'ilou , whether or not Bryan would
accept.Vashburnc \ said he could give no
informal.on as to that point.
Thp'j It was suggested that the further
r.jcecdlngs be conducted at the speaker's
stand and the crowd swarmed over there.
It then appeared that there were not very
many delegates among the kickers. They
, \vcre men who 'bad not been admitted to
seats In the convention. The prominent
men In the Texas delegation did not re
main. Then the meeting proceeded with the
appointment of Its committee to draft an
address. An Important point of the meet-
I , Ing was the fact that Frank Burkltt of
Mississippi would not.serve on any of the
committees , and although Schilling ; of Wis
consin was appointed several times he gave
notice that being on the national com
mittee ho could not serve.
Some question was raised as to what the
convention meant when It gave the national
committee plenary powers. It was feared
they might take Watson off the ticket. The
few that remained in the hall , then , at
CGO : , adjourned , the address committee to
meet at once and the conference to meet
at 7:30 p. m. at the Southern hotel.
The middle-of-the-road men met at the
Southern hotel after leaving the convention
liall today and sent the message to the
national committee , referred to the report
of the meeting of that body. The malcon
tents spent a large portion of the time In
secret conference , preparing an address ,
Elating their position , giving their reasons
lor opposing the selection of Mr. Bryan and
Insisting that Norton shall be declared the
nominee of the populists If Bryan declines.

LINCOLN , July 25. While the public here
In Lincoln has been heartily discussing the
likelihood of the acceptance or rejection by
Sir. Bryan of the populist nomination or
the rejection of Mr. Sewall , Mr. Bryan put
In the day In absolute silence as to his
intentions , although the pressure was strong
to secure an expression from him. During
the forenoon ho received many telegrams
from St. Louis friends In relation to the
perplexing conditions there arising and quite
a number from friends In other parts urg
ing him to stand by his previous telegrams
declining the nomination unless It carried
. with It that of Sewall.
Shortly after noon Mr. Bryan entered a
carrage with his law partner , Mr. Talbott ,
and drove away from the Bryan residence.
From that time on until nearly 0 p , m , his
whereabouts were shrouded In mystery. All
knowledge thereof was denied at his home
and Inquiry at democratic headquarters and
Mr. Bryan's office was fruitless. When asked
later where bo had concealed himself , Mr.
Bryan milled that he had not suspected
that anyone might wish to see him , In
reference to the action of the St. Louis
convention ho said :
"When the populists decided to nominate
the vice president first Senator Jones , chair
man of the national democratic committee ,
Vlred mo as follows : TopulUts nominate
vice president first ; If not Sewal ) what shall
I do ? Answer quick. I favor your declina
tion In that case , ' I wired Immediately as
follows ) 'Hon. James K. Jones , St. Louis :
I entirely agree with you , Withdraw my
name if Sewall Is not nominated , '
"These dispatches were published In this
morning's papers and the convention un
derstood my portion. In spite of this they
have seen fit to nominate me. Whether I
shall accept the nomination or not will de
pend entirely upon what conditions are at
tached to U ,
"My first desire Is to aid in securing the
immediate restoration by the United States
of the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of 16
to 1 , without waiting for the aid or con
cent of any other nation. The republican
platform declare * that the bimetallic sys
tem should bo restored , but asserts that we ,
as a people , are helpless to secure bimetal
lism for ourselves until foreign nations come
to our assistance. We cannot afford to
urrvndi-r our right to legUlate for our people
ple upon every question ; and so long as
that right U disputed no other question can
approach it In importance. I appreciate
the deulre manifested at St. Louis to con-
collilate all the free silver forces and regret
that they did not nominate Mr , Sewall also.
He elands squarely upon the Chicago plat
form and has defended our cause against
ercattr opi > osltlou than we have had to
meet in the west and south. The t > opullet
platform Is on miuy questions substantially
Identical with the Chicago platform. It
goes beyond the- Chicago platform , however ,
and tiulortrs come policies which I don't
approve of. All that 1 can fay now li that
my action will depend entirely upon the
conditions attached to the nomination. I
fchall do nothlne which will endanger the
success of bimetallism , nor shall 1 do any
thing unfair to Mr , Sewall. "
Mr Bryan wan seemingly an cheerful over
the situation ai he was when he received
the information of LU Orel uoiuUitttlou at
Chicago. , , . . , . . . . , <

LINCOLN. July 25. ( Special Telegram. )
News of the populist nomination of W.
J. liryan this afternoon did not strike a
very responsive chord In Lincoln. Quite a
lurse number of populists and silver demo
crats arc free In their expressions of dis
gust nt the action of the convention. When
the news camp , which had been anticipated
for three days , there was scarcely a ripple
of enthusiasm at the populist headquar
ters. The Kenernl opinion was that a Blgan-
tlc blunder had been made by the conven
tion.
tion.The
The fact that so much doubt exists con
cerning the authenticity of the alleged tele
gram said to hare been sent to Chairman
Jones at St. Louis and published In the
morning papers awakens suspicion. Al
though Mr. Bryan Is In the city and In a
position to set himself squarely before the
people he has allowed himself to become
the subject of aspersion at the hands of
home populists by his evident sinuous dls-
Ingcnuousness and reluctance to announce
his position. Some of the free silver lead
ers say ho will accept and others are fully
as positive he will not. The pops are all
at sea and decidedly disgruntled.
Before the adjournment of the conven
tion Mr. Bryan went up to the operating
room of the Western Union telegraph olllee
and wired St. Louis direct. It Is claimed
that he positively refused to stand by the
pop nomination unless both Sewall and the
Chicago platform were endorsed , but as the
convention soon after adjourned In a tumult
It Is thought tonight that his telegram did
not reach St. Louis In time to produce any
effect.

a question as to his attitude In the new
situation caused by the populists' nomi
nation of Bryan and Watson , Mr. Sewall
said after a pause : "Well , the only state
ment I have to make In regard to that Is
that the action of the St. Louis convention
does not change my attitude or plans the
least particle. "
"You have not , then , the slightest thought
of resigning ; I suppose I may say you have
no such thought ? "
"Well , my answer to your first question
covers that equally well , " said Mr. Sewall.
"And you have no further statements of
any nature to make ? " was asked.
"None whatever. "
Mr. Sewall smiled a good-humored "good

PLATTSMOUTH. Neb. , July 25. ( Special. )
The action of the populist national con
vention In nominating Bryan but snubbing
his running mate has cast a deep gloom
over the camp of the sliver democrats in
this city and all are as mum as oysters , re
fusing to talk about the matter until Bryan
Issues his manifesto. It Is conceded , bow-
ever , that It is the death knell of the fusion
Idea , and half the life and enthusiasm of
the Bryanltes In this city has evaporated.
One prominent populist said : "Well , we
couldn't swallow a millionaire monopolist ,
and If Bryan's kite couldn't fly without
such a tall It's better that we don't throw
aw y our s'rlng. " The republicans , how
ever , wear very contented emlles and ap
pear perfectly satisfied with the action of
the populists.

YORK , Neb. , July 25. ( Special Telegram. )
Mr. E. Rosowatcr spoke here today , both
In the afternoon nml evening , at the court
house. Despite counter attractions the after
noon address was very well attended. Mr.
Rosewater spoke at length on the silver
question and held the closest attention
of his audiences. His speech In the evening
drew a crowd that thronged the corridors of
the court house and packed the large dis
trict court room to suffocation. It was
one of the best expositions of the money
question the people of York have yet heard.
He discussed the subject rather from an
economic standpoint than from a campaign
point of view. He talked logically and
his words carried conviction , because they
were true. The history of the silver dollar
was dwelt upon In a manner that brought
enlightenment to his hearers. He told what
the much-discussed act of 1S73 really was
and turned light upon seveial dark points
regarding that act. The result of following
the vagaries of the sllverltes was shown
vividly.
Mr. Uose water said that it the
United States adopted free silver
our standard would be a silver
standard and the United States would soon
become like its Indulgent and cigarette-
consuming neighbor on the south Mc.tlco.
He explained the folly of the assertions
with regard to America doing as she
pleased concerning her financial policy. The
commercial relations tliat today exist be
tween this nation and the nations ot Europe
will not allow of arbitrary action such as
free silver , at the ratio of 1C to 3 , contem
plates.
AS TO LOW PRICES.
Concerning low prices of various com
modities , Mr. Rosewater logically combated
the niguments of the sllveritcs , by stating
the real facts that cause low prices. He
said that labor-saving machinery Is a po
tent f&ctor in reducing prices , and showed
how Mr. Bryan contradicts himself on that
question.
As regards the debtor and creditor classes ,
the speaker declared that It Is the laborer
who is the creditor and the rich cor
porations and railroads who are the debtors.
Mr. Rosewater turned the Bryanltes' own'
arguments against them.
The maintenance of the ratio of 1C to 1
cither by this nation alone or by other
nations In concert -as discussed. He
vigorously assailed the feasibility of main
taining such a ratio. Said he : "I do not
believe that If all the nations would Join
hands In International agreement they
could sustain a ratio of 1C to I. We will
never see the time when that ratio ex
ists. "
In closing his address the speaker made
an earnest pica for the voters to stand up
for the republican platform , not alone owing
to its republicanism , but also because of its
patriotism to the country and the country's
honor.
The speaker was listened to with a degree
of attention that evinced the great In
terest York people took In Mr. Rosewater s
words. Some Interruption was caused on
account of a threatening storm , but despite
the thunder and lightning a large number
remained till the close of the speech.

WASHINGTON , July 25. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The situation In Washington with
reference to the Omaha Street Railway mall
service has not changed. The telegram scut
to Omaha railroad people yesterday was In
reference to the departmental circular , con
taining reports from street railway officials
as to the cost of running electric and cable
cars which was sent to them some time ago.
This circular also contains the report of the
committee of postal officials , who Investi
gated this subject , and who figured that the
average cost of running a street railway
postal car was about 1G cents per mile for
cars not exceeding sixteen feet In length
and 18 cents per mile for cars not excced-
lug twenty feet In length. They recom
mend that that rate be paid. Together with
this circular a letter was sent explaining
the approprlitlon and the reason why no
Increased compensation could be paid for
this service this year. An answer was re
ceived at the department today to the cflect
that neither circular nor letter had been
iccelvcd. A duplicate was Immediately sent
to Omaha , and nothing can be done here
until the answer to them Is received.
Second Assistant Postmaster General Nell-
son again cxprcsse-d the hope that the mat
ter might be adjusted and the service con
tinued.

SPENCER , Neb. , July 25. ( Special. )
Over two Inches of steady rain during the
last twenty-four hours has insured an Im
mense corn crop In this county. Small
grain Is nearly all harvested , the yield being
splendid. Being without railroad facilities
a line of steamboats will be commissioned
between Sioux City and Bouesteel , S. D. .
with at least three stations or landings In
Boyd county for the purpose of shipping out
the products and bringing in supplies. The
steamer Cnstalla made her first trip last
week , coming up the river from Sioux City
laden with lumber and coal for this place ,
and returning with a full load of old wheat ,
transportation being C cents per bushel
from Fort Randall to Sioux City. It would
be an impossibility for farmers to haul
this years' crop thirty-five to forty miles
to O'Neill , the nearest railroad point , owing
to the bulk , to say nothing about the six
miles of sand In Holt county and the bad
roads. Farmers to leach the Missouri river
In thin county will have to haul from three
to fifteen miles , on an average not to ex
ceed six miles , which , taken In connection
with the cheap rates afforded them by river
transportation , quite solves the problem In
the matter of market and freight privileges.
Local merchants are seriously considering
the feasibility of dealing with the Minne
apolis and St. I'aul Jobbers , as they can
save at least 110 per cent In freight on goods
from those points over the Minneapolis nnd.
St. Paul railroad to Running Water , S. D. ,
and from that point here via river boats ,
their present Jobbing places being Omaha ,
Fremont and Chicago. As near as can bo
approximated farmers will ship out from
this county alone 1,000,000 bushels of wheat.
500.000 bushels of oats , 1,000,000 bushels ot
corn , besides a large quantity of live stock ,
such as hogs , cattle , etc. In return they
will require a large quantity of coal , barb
wire , lumber , fence posts , brick , machinery
and all kinds of building material , groceries
and furnlshlnc eoo'ls. etc.
BLAIR , Neb. , July 25. ( Speclal.-Th ) *
rain Thursday morning came In time to
insure corn in Washington county. Nearly
all of the harvesting Is over. Some have
threshed oats already nnd they ran about
thirty-five bushels per acre , while once In
a while there Is a poor stand. The most ot
It Is good wheat.
