Senator Allen In New York.
New York, Aug. 20. "New York has
ceased to be nn American city. It is
nbfc in sympathy with the rest of the
country," said Senator W. V. AUen.thc
populistof Nebraska, in speaking of the
city.
"Is that the populist view of it, Sen
ator?"
v'it is the western view. In our part
of tho country we think the east too
domineering. The consequence is tho
south and west are solidifying to resist
the policy that Would make of New
York a sort of money deposit of the re
public. It will not be long beforo
Washington will cease to be the na
tional capital. The people of the w-esv
see that New YorL.'is have altogether
too much influence in Washington.
Why should the wslcrh's be com
pelled to travel night and day to a far
away capital that New Yorkers can
reach in a few- hours? We wVsteriieWJ
would remove the Seat of government
to St. L'ouis in fifteen minutes if we had
"tho votes and we will have them at no
very remote time."
The senator is a (tclf-tnaiie, splendidly
edneat" i'nan, intellectual looking,
quiet and digniged. He spoke with
calmness and deliberation.
"Do yon know," he went on, "that I
learned of a heavy shipment tf fcold

New York is having its financial pres

Chicago, which" is an American city
ami not like N'ew York, will be the
money power, as well as the uietrep''
lts of the j-epnblltJ. New York is about
; t'ig as it will ever be, although con
solidation with other cities may en
large it. The main object of western
ers is to wrest from the east its undue
influence in national affairs. We mean
to have the next president from the
west. We think the old parties are
about on their last legs and, depend
upon it, congress will not repeal the
Sherman law until a substitute equally
favorable to silver men is fhuHd and
adopted. Jt is niy find belief that our
national prosperity is bound up in the

ICepcal Will rass the Senate.
Washington, D. C. Aug. 20. The
friends of the repeal bill arc confident
tiiat the chances for the passage of the
unconditional repeal bill through the
senate are improving. A democratic
member from a southern state, who is
a very eSffJcsti opponent of uncondi
tional repeal, said thai It was his opin
ion, though he regretted to say It, that
the bill for repeal would finally pass
the sefidtt?. "But," he added, "ii a

The speech of Colonel Hepburn, In
which he declared against all the pend

tention. It is intimated that three
other Iowa republicans may follow Mr.
Hepburn's lead. Mr. Lacey of Iowa is
nnxious to otter art amendment provid

silver coinage until the total amount
shall reach 5700,000,000, at which point
coinage shall cease, nnd he is hopeful
that he may be allowed to do so.
There are intimations that there is
some uncertainty as to the vote of Illi

free coinage men six democratic votes

state. There are intimations that
there may be two fcrntWiean votes from

In the house on the -Mth the feature of the

The gold men. ho said, were greater calam

Geo. Weaver said:
ThcBitoation of to-day was not

could not bo brought upon the country
by the mere change of administration,
nor is it the result of the Sherman
law. The laws have been violated.
What we want is obedience to the laws
and the administrrtion of existing

want a condition that will make all
