St. Louis, Mo., July 20 —Chairman Tnubmrck of the 1’opullst national committee returned from Chicago this morning and bis coming wav the sig nal for renewed activity on the part of the middle-of-the-road Popullnts, who hope to prevent an Indorsement of liryan and the Chicago platform. Ills visit to Chicago, which was partly due to his fear that the Illinois dele gation would leave him in the lurch, and not to make terms with the Dem ocrat* a* waa reported yesterday, waa apparently not productive of results. This morning he was in secret confer ence with the anti-Kryan leaders and the national headquarters were prac tically deserted.

E. TACBENECE. for Bryan and there are many other Populist* in Illinois who are believed to hold the same opinion. To have his own delegation go against him would be very distasteful. In their conference the anti-Bryan men agreed on no definite plan of action, but they seemed determined to make a straight-out fight for a sep arate ticket and platform. The Mis sissippi, Rhode Island, Conneticut, Michigan and Texas delegations will help them. At the Omaha-Bryan headquarters there was much jubilation over indi cations of the growing strength of the movement to indorse Bryan and Bewail, GOVERNOR STONE ON THE SCENE. Among the arrivals this morning was Governor Stone of Missouri He came, it is said, in respoose to a tele gram from some of ihe Populists, who are in favor of the nomination or in dorsement of Bryan, and is to do mis sionary work among the “middle of the roii c" contingent. The latter are to hold a mass meeting at the Lindell hotel to-morrow afternoon to start the movement against Bryan, and Gov ernor Stone and other friends of the Democratic candidate, will try to neu tralize the efforts of the opposition.

Dknvkh, Col., July 20.—Senator Teller said yesterday: ‘‘My friends and myself will lend every energy to bring about Mr. Bryan’s indorsement at St. Dotiia Of course, there is go ing to be some opposition. Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina is leading the opposition. 1 believe lie is making a mistake. I think he and his friends will realize this before the convention, and 1 am willing to make this prophecy: 'Either the Popuiists will indorse Bryan or they will fail to make a nomination.’ There 1* no rea son why they should not indorse hirn, for the financial plank adopted by the Chicago convention is all the Pop ulists can ask for. and the other planks of the platform are certainly more than they had any reason to ex pect from a Democratic convention.” A New Populist Plan. Tkkkk Ua;tk, Ind., July 20—Mor ton C. Rankin, treasurer of the nation al committee, and a member of the executive committee, says that in bis opinion, under the existing circum stances, the practical thing for the Populists and silverites to do at St. Louis next week would be to nomi nate Bryan, change the Democratic platform in a few details, add the referendum plaDU, then nominate their own candidate for vice presi dent. lie thioks the second place should go South, and suggests the names of Judge Nimis of Georgia, Senator Martin Sutler of North Caro lina,and Colonel Mimmisof Tennessee.

The list of delegates, as prepared by the state central committee, was adopted, after which the list of coun ties and representation was read, doing away with the credentials committee. A committee of five were appointed on permanent organization. It recom mended General P. II. Harry for chair man and the temporary secretaries as permanent. A telegram whs received from the populist convention of South Dakota, sending greetings to the populists of Nebraska. A motion was promptly made and hurriedly carried that the secretary reply, returning greetings. Senator Alien moved that the reply ahould present the compliments of the Nebraska populists and sty they are Bryan for the next president. He then made his positiou very plain and made no effort to conceal the fact that he was for the endorsement of the demo cratic candidate, first, last and always William Decb insisted that the con vention could not now say what dele gates were to say when they came to ht Louis, especially not before it had permanently organized. He urged the convention to be careful to act in ac cordance with the principles of the party as founded, as early as 1800, with such men as Peter Cooper. He de manded a call of the roll. Senator Allen urged that the action proposed would tend to perpetuate the party and not to disintegrate it. The roll was called after considera ble delay.

I'urtles are not made to be worshiped. They are merely the instruments by which we serve our country. The people are made, not for parties, but parties are made for the people, and parties can only claim the support of the people when they are efficient instruments in the hands of people of accomplishing good. And those who arc called upon to vote have a right to consider the platform utterances or policies advo cated by the various parties, as well as the character of the candidates who ate nominated. "The issue is drawn und we have our choice in this campaign between an American financial system for the American people and an English finan cial system to be forced upon us. (Ap plause.) Those who believe in run ning this governrnenton the European plan should go und legislate with tlie Republican party. (Applause and laughter.) If I mistake not, the pa triotism of the people whose patriot ism has never been appealed to in vain, there can be but one issue in this campaign, and but one result. (Applause.) If they ask us, 'What about other questions?’ we tell them that so long as the right of self-gov ernment is in danger there is no other question. (Applause ) Why discus* things if we be not powerful cnoujjA. to act when we have the power?" "I've not the time nor imposition to talk to you at this time, but I want to impress upon your minds two things. I want you to ask two questions which ought to be asked over and over again in this campaign, each time with increased einph>i*i», und the two questions are these: " ‘If the gold standard is a good' thing why ought we try to get rid of it r "'If it is a bad thing, wny should1 we keep it until some other nation helps us to get rid of it?' (Applause.) There was tremendous applause when Mr. liryau ceased speak ing.

Lies Moines, July 9.—John Miller, assignor of one-’fourtli to E. E. Gatchel, (both of Stuart. Iowa,) has been allowed a patent for hardening copper. The primary object of the patent law is not for individual benefit, but for the publfcgood and a monopoly of any patentable discovery or inven tion la granted in view of getting it on record so It cannot become a lost art. ' Mr. Miller's invention consists in a composition and a process for harden ing copper, (covered by separate clalma) and is an important improvement in metallurgy. A razor and other edge tools exhibited show that ductile copper has been hardened to adapt it for making edge tools that require strength and durability. Mr. Miller claims that his process also prevents oxidation and detonation, and consequently there will be no verdigris to poison persons who may be wounded by tools made of copper. Valuable information about obtaining, valuing and selling pat ents sent free to any address. Printed copies of the drawings and specifica tions of any United States patent sent upon receipt of 25 cents. Our practice is not confined to Iowa. Inventors in other states can have our services up on the same terms as the Hawkeyea. Thomas G. and J. Ralph Ortvio, Solicitors of 1‘atentf. LIVE STOCK AM) I'KOOC. >.
