My Ivor Tom:
W'.'ll, hern wr arc, safe and sound and
happy. '.Vo reached New 'York Tuesday
of last week, and are stopping, as you will
rice, at tho Hotel Majostlc, Seventy-second
s're.ot and Central Park West. We did ex
pect to go on to one of the nboro resorts
after a short flay In Now York, but Helou
is so cheruied with everything here thnt I
imaglno we rhull remain here until
August. Wees her! she shall stay as long
na sho wants to. Sho Is the dearest cron
turc In tho world, Tom, and 1
You askod mo to tell you about New
York, and to look up a good hotel for you
when yotj come this way In September.
"Uoll, hero goes. New York Is worth com
ing to see. It Is the Ideal summer resort
if one wants coolness and comfort. You
muy smllo, if you will, at tho Idea of New
York as a hummer resort, but It's true,
Tom, You huvo no Idea how delightfully
comfortable lt Is up hero right by Cen-J
tral Park. Wo got all tno breezes mat
blow.
Helen is wild over tho stores. Fancy mo
shopping, If ycu can. Yes, I've been "do
ing" the stores with Helen. We run down
on tho elevated or tho trolloyB, which wo
take a block from tho hotel. It only takes
about fifteen minutes to reach tho shops
Wo'veJ seen several good things at the the-
nters, too, but they havo such delightful
concerts every ovfnlng here at the hotel
that both Helen and I nre content to socle
a (lulot corner of tho grand foyer and
"llston to tho bnd." Warm evenings wo
follow the orchestra to tho beautiful plara
garden on the roof, nnd I'm afraid, be-
havo Ilko two moon-struck people, as wn
surely nro.
Yes. old chap, you must come to New
York by all means on your wedding trip
nnd stop at tho Hotel Majestic. You'll be
cured of your eternal bragging or tde Ht,
Chnrles. This Is a unique hotel In more
ways than one. Thoro's the grand foyer,
a fcaturo borrowed from tho Hotel Metro-
uole. In London, I am told, when wo ar
rived hero, In tho evening, we wero qulto
fncited out with our day's ride. But when
wo entered the foyer, which you do dl
rectly from tho street, Helen whispered,
"nil '.inrk. this is the nlace for us." And
that Is lust how I felt.
Tho foyer Is the center of the social life
of the hotel. Here ladles nnd gentlemen
sit nnd chat aud receive their friends.

LINCOLN, July 15. (Special.) The total
valuation upon which state taxes will be
nisessed this year against taxable prop
erty in Nebraska will be approximately
1171.432.000. or t2.CS5.000 greater than the
assessed valuation of last year. These, fig
ures have been computed from tho ofilclal
reports, received from eighty-nine of the
ninety counties. Wheeler, whose report has
not been received, had a total assessed vnl
uatlon of 1238.237.40 last year and It Is bo
Hevcd there will bo no material change In
tho figures this year.
The State Hoard of Equalization met this
morning to complete the assessment of
property, but adjourned without transacting
business to tomorrow morning. The Wheeler
county report .will probably bo In the audi
tor's olllce by that time and If so the work
of equalizing will bo commenced at once

LINCOLN, July 15. (Special Telegram.)
W. J. Bryan today gave out a statement
relative to the proceedings In the Ohio
democratic convention. Ho makes It plain
In his discussion of tho platform that ho
does not npprove of It as a substitute for
the silver and Kansas City platforms.
"The convention not only failei: but re
fused to realllrni the Kansas City platform
and from the mnnner In which the gold
ilcmcnt has rejoiced over this fcaturo of
tho convention one would suppose that the
main object of tho convention was not to
write n new platform, but to repudiate tho
one upon which tho Inst natloual campaign
was fought," says Mr. Bryan.
"General Flulcy was right In Insisting
upon a voto on his resolution endorsing the
Kansas City platform, but ho made n mis
tako In Including In his resolution a com
plimentary reference to Mr. Ilryan. Mr.
Bryan Is not n candidate for any office and
a mention of him might have been con
strued by some as the naked proposition
to endorse the platform of last year and
then no one could have excused bis aban
donment of democratic principles by plead
ing his dislike for Mr. Bryan, Tho causa
ought not to be made to bear tho sins of
an Individual. Mr. Bryan will endure
without complaint any punishment which
tho democracy of Ohio might sco fit to nd
minister to blm, but be docs not want his
named used to the Injury of n good plat
form. Open f'olil More Courncoim.
"Tho gold papers assumo that tho con-
ventlon refused to adopt the Kansas City
plutforra because it contained a Bllver
plank, ir so It would have been moro,
courageous to havo declared openly for
tho gold standard. If the gold standard Is
good It ought to have been endorsed. It
bad It ought to havo been denounced. To
Ignoro tho subject entirely was lncxcusa-,
blo. 1
"Tho money question Is not yet out of
politics. Every session of congress will
have to deal with It. Republicans declare
that It Is dead, but they keep working at
It. If tho reactionary Influences succeed
In Ohio or elsewhere It simply means an
other gigantic struggle such as was
witnessed tn 1896. Tho democratic pnrty
cannot bo made a plutocratic pnrty, even
If there was room In this country for two
such parties. Thcro was a time under tho
Cleveland regime when the pnrty leaders
used general and ambiguous phrases to do
eclvo the voters, but that scheme cannot be
worked again.
"We cannot expect voters to have con
fidence In the party unless the party has
confldenco In the voters nnd If tho party
hns confidence In tho voters It will stata
Its position on all the Important questions
beforo tho country and Invite Judgment."
Dcmocrntlc State Committee to Meet.
Chairman P. L. Hall announced tonight
that he will call tho democratic stato cen
tral committee together on somo evening
during tho first week In August for the
purpose of arranging for the state nomi
nating convention.
"I havo not determined upon the exact
date, but will do so when I hear from
Chairman Edmlstcn of the populist commit
tee," ho said. "I don't know whnt tlmo ho
favors, but I havo decided that our meet
ing will bo held In the first week In August.
Mr. Edmlsten has been corresponding with
his committeemen as to tho advisability ot
determining tho time and place for the pop
ulist convention by referendum voto or by
tho committeemen at a general meeting. I
havo heard nothing from blm direct, but
I wrote to him a few days ngo nnd expect
n reply tomorrow or next day. It Is likely
tho threo fusion committees will meet
simultaneously."
Chairman Hall has alrendy expressed
himself ns not fnvorlng an early convention.
This sentiment seems to bo general among
democrats and It Is believed that tho tlmo
will be fixed in tho last week In August
or the first week in September.
KfTortx nt fusion.
There is undoubtedly a disposition on the
pnrt of tho lenders of tho democratic nnd
populist committees to do all tn their power
to bring about a fusion ot tho partlos,
Bryan, C. J. Smyth, W. A. Poyuter and
several other fusion stalwarts went on
record on this subject at tho Peter Ccoper
club banquet In Omaha two months ago
and tho former was especially outspoken
In demanding the co-operation of democrats,
Donullsts and free silver republicans In
tho fusion cause. Some ropullsts aad dem
ocrats may make an effort to break up
the old nlllanco. hut If so they will en
counter bitter opposition from the fusion
ring which has been directing tho political
movements of tho parties for somo years
past.
ClnalnK of Atkinson llecelvcrslilp
The attention of Secretary Royso of tho
Stnte Banking board has been called to
tho closing up of tho receivership of tho
Exchange Stato bank of Atkinson. This
bank was owned by Hartley and was closed
In May, 1807, by tho fusion administra
tion. Samuel n. Howard of O'Neill was
appointed receiver of tho Institution nnd
a few months ago ho was discharged by
Judgo Wcstover. Secretary Itoyse has been
notified that there Is no final report of the
receivership on ftlo In the district clerk's
office, but nevertheless the order made by
ludgo Wcstover says that such a report
has been filed and by the order both How
ard and his bondsmen aro released from nil
liability. Individual depositors were pntd
75 ccnta on the dollar, but tho stato re
covered only $8,000 on a deposit of $56,000.
The wbolo affair la looked upon with In
terest nnd It Is Intimated that an Investi
gation may be made. Tho Jouvennt law
passed by tho last legislature requires nil
receivers of stato banks to report regularly
to tbo secretary of tho stato board. This
Is why the case ha6 been cited to tho at
tention of Secretary Royse, who Is also
asked to look Into tho claim that assets
of the bank wero sold by Howard to pollll-
cal friends at a low prlco and that tho
Interest of tho state wero not well pro-
tccted. Howard was a candldato for stnto
treasurer on the fusion tlckot last year.
