Further re- urns received up to tonight from ycstcr- ay's election In this state confirm the flrst cports of a complete democratic victory with surprisingly large gains. The count n the big counties has been slow , and cspc- tally EO In the city , but official and cstl- natcd returns , the latter based on reports ecelved from a majority at the boxes In he counties reporting , show that Johnston and the democrats have ecntalnly carried orty-five out of the sixty-six counties , Geodwyn , populist , has fifteen counties. Six counties have not been heard from , or arc oo close to be figured upon. It Is be- leved that the complete returns will show a majority of not less than 45,009 for John ston , and possibly 50,000. Chairman Jonrs of the democratic national committee today corrected certain mlsapprc- lonslons which have arisen from published interviews with him within the last day or ; wo. "I did not say that Mr. Hryan would lot accept the populist nomination , " said Mr. Jones , "for 1 have no authoilty to say that. I did not say that as n general rule the southern populists were not a creditable class. On the contrary , I said that most of them were patriotic men who were workIng - Ing for a cause ; that they were populists because they believed they could promote their cause best through a new party and that now they would support Bryan because It was shown that their patriotic objects could bo attained only through his election. This Is what I said of the southern populists as a rule. As nn exception , I spoke of the class who were not creditable. 1 said there were Fomo who were populists merely for their personal advancement ; some who had become populists through selfish and not patriotic motives , I spoke of these as the exception class who would not support Mr. Bryan. I said that as a rule the populists In the south would follow the patriotic course and support Ilryan ; that there were some who for selfish motives would not do so , but would prefer to have MeKlnley elected. " Chairman Faulkner received a request which ho regarded as significant. It came trom a leading retail dealer In Huntington. W. Va. , asking where he could buy 500 Uryan cabinet photographs , which he said were the strongest kind of campaign docu ments. The photographs were to be dis tributed with purchases. Representative Pearson of the Ashevllle , N. C. , district was at republican headquar ters during the day and said intense feeling had been aroused among southern populists by Chairman Jones' Interview concerning them.

He will carry all the eastern and middle states. " "How will Bryan be received in New York ? " "There Is no very cordial feeling for Mr , Bryan. Tammany has endorsed the nomInee - Inee , but not the platform. You must remember - member that there is no silver craze in anj of the eastern states. I do not opprehent that there will be any undue excitement Ir Now York over the presence of Mr. Bryan I ain exceedingly tired tonight and am glad to know that I shall secure a day's rest to morrow before entering on the campaign Ir Nebraska. " Mr. Herr objected strongly to speaking It : the open air at M Street park tomorrow night and it was arranged for him to speali in the Lauslng theater.

When the demo cratlc state convention was called to ordei In the exposition hall shortly before noor today , Its work had been pretty well ar ranged for It In a caucus and the chance : seemed to be that the program agreed or for the. co-operation of the silver partle ! of the state would bo carried out to th < letter. While the Minnesota delegation al the Chicago convention was a gold dolega tlon , the action taken there strengthened the free silver element to such an extent that they were able to capture the prl marlcs for this convention without dlfllculty In most of the counties the gold democrat ! cither refused to vote at the primaries 01 swing Into line for the platform and candl dates. An Informal conference , composts of committees from the democrats , popu lists and silver republicans , had alread ; agreed on a division of the ticket \v1iei Chairman McOermott called to order and It was generally understood that thh basis of agreement would be accepted. I called for the nomination of ex-Congress man John Llnd of New Ulin , a silver re publican , for governor , democrats for secretary rotary of state and treasurer , and popullsti for lieutenant goteruor and attorney gen era ) .

LAST OF A BIG SPECULATIVE SENSATION llnnK * , Thotmli lloiivy HolilcrH of Stuck IIH CollntiTnl , Will Not I.IIMC ntiil AV11I nut Irc'4 ' fur Settlement. CHICAGO , Aug. 4. Many of the outstand ing trades In Diamond Match and New York IHfcult , It Is expected , con be closed up by the brokers outside of the exchange and before trading Is resumed on the floor. There wcro many Inquiries today for curb quotations on Match and Biscuit , but no body manifested a desire to trade until mat ters have been reduced to some definite plan. Jantcs Hobart Moore was closeted during the forenoon with his attorneys. Mr. Coftecn iccclvcd all callers during the early morning , but had little to say re garding the situation. The officers of the banks holding Diamond Match loans were in nowise disturbed. They felt confident that everything \\oulil come out all right and that nobody outside ot the Moorcs would be seriously hurt. "Where do you find the greatest trouble , In the Diamond Match or the New York Biscuit ? " Mr. Moore was asked. "Oh , It worked both ways , due to the stringency ot money. LIut you can say that 1 do not think there will be any panic of stocks ; that the Stock exchange being closed there will bo time for conservative action to preserve values nnd that we will even tually come out all right. " "Wo arc a long way from being finan cially dead and will soon be on top again , " said J. H. Moore in his ofllcc this noon after having participated in a conference of some duration with his attorneys anil financial friends. "This affair was a hard shock but It Is only temporary , " continued the rotund lawyer , while his face wore a smile not a forced affair , but one that showed his spirits were not drooping. "There will be no statement of the situa tion Issued by us. I can say that with the Stock exchange closed there will be an Im mediate resort to resources of which we have knowledge and which were accessible to straighten mutters out. The shock caruc from the general stringency In the money market , but we have every hope of soon Betting things upou their normal basis. " "You have arranged , then , for money from the banks ? " Mr. Moore was asked. "We think we are perfectly safe In saying that we will tide over every trouble. It Is but temporary and ue arc a long wuj from being financially dead. " CAME AS A SURPRISE. There was not a whisper In the streets yesterday that any trouble was pending. The market for Diamond Match behaved In a manner to excite but little comment in that thousands of shares of the stock were handled within fluctuations of H4 points. It opened at 222 , declined to 221 , ad vanced to 222U , and closed at 222. J. Hobart Moore and William Coffoon the confidential men of the Moores , were absent from their office during the day , but while this was unusual , the real rea son of their absence endeavors to tide over the trouble was not suspected. Calls for $400,000 margins in Diamond Match , which could not be raised , .pre cipitated the failure. That the margins would not be forthcoming was announced late In the afternoon , and then came the hasty call for a meeting at the house of P , D. Armour last evening. At this meeting nearly every bank In the city was represented < sented , together with the governing com mittee of the Stock exchange. It was supposed that Mr. Armour had hail an early Inkling of what was coming , and that much of the selling of Diamond Match yesterday by Chapin & Gaylord had beer for Mr. Armour's account , but this he de nied at the meeting , and he said he had no suspicion of trouble until about 5 o'clock In the afternoon. The whole ground was carefully gone over , and It was agreed thai the only thing to do to arrest a panic wa : the closing of the Stock exchange. A reso lution to that effect was then adopted bj the members of the governing committee present. Chicago banks and bankers , who hok approximately $4,000,000 worth of Dlamom : Match stock as collateral for money loaned will not press the borrowers for settlement To do so would bo unwise and might pre- cipltate a panic. This the banks arc bounc' ' to avoid at all hazards just now. Anothei thing the banks have decided to do Is tc accept the stock of Diamond Match ownce by the Moore Bros , at a cash value of 170 Such was the basis of settlement agrec < upon at the meeting of bankers held lat ( last evening. The losers by the collapse of Dlamom Match and New York Biscuit deals will hi the Moores and the speculators who are loni on the market. The losses of the Mootci are estimated at between $4,000,000 and $5 , 000,000 ; they sacrifice all they have made litho the deal while the stocks were being ad vanced and all they had before. It Is sup posed that In .supporting the market tin Moores were obliged to take 45 and 50 pe cent ot the entire capital stock of the Dla mend Match company. They had no dotib of their ability to carry the deal through but the public unloaded upon them to at extent the Moores never dreamed of. Prob ably the heaviest losers In the collapse o Moore Bros , next to the brothers thcmselvci are the brokers who had been doing buslnesi for them on the exchange. Very few , In deed , arc the brokers , too , who did not di business In that line. Those most nffectei are Breese & Cummins , Baldwin & Farnum E. L. Brewstcr & Co. and AVrenn & Co , ARMOUR FEARS NO PANIC. P. D. Armour said this afternoon that hi did not fear a panic as the result ot Moon Bros. ' failure. "I do not think It will affcc other stocks , " he said. "Tho men who hch the bulk of the stock are very wealthy am will come out all right. I do not fear i panic and believe the M. ore Bros , will comi out all right in the cud. "It Is the plan for people who advancec on Diamond Match stock to take care of thi stock at the prices they advanced and al to form an underwriting syndicate. " Charles Counselmau , a prominent stocl broker of this city , says ot the Dlamom Match fiasco ; "The deal Is virtually closed The Diamond Match property Is all right The company has had nothing to do wltl the speculation. It earned $1,800.000 las year on $11,000,000 capital and has $5,000,001 of quick assets. The speculation has beci by the Moores and their friends. Moore , think , will ha\e a generous equity , Thi whole block of security will bo underwritten I think ; 170 for Diamond Match will not however , be the figure ; that Is too high The loans were a good deal under tha figure. I think that 150 will protect tbi people who advanced. " SHUT UP SHOP , Nothing In years has caused such a flurrj In commercial circles as the collapse of tin Moores In their efforts to maintain tbi control of the Diamond Match stocks an < New York Biscuit. It has been the tall of every man connected with the Stocl exchange and the Board of Trade , Anotbe : striking feature of the failure , and oni which In a measure shows Its extent am breadth , IB the fact that the Stock cxchangi for the flrst time In Its history adjournei indefinitely at once after Its doors wen opened , without doing a dollar's worth o business , The following notice was postci on the door of the exchange : "Tho Chicago Stock exchange lias ad journtd subject to the action of the govern Ing committee. "J , R. WILKINS , Secretary. " Outside thu door and through the corrl dors of the building were excited groups o brokers 6ad traders In stocks dlscut&ing thi situation. Every one tonne'c.ted with the exchange was endeavoring to bonvtnce every body else that there was no cause for alarm. They announced that the ofllclals of the exchange were endeavoring to.form a pool to keep up the stock of the,1 Moore brothers and to hold U until the flurry was over. The governing committee at n meeting today adopted the following : "Resolved , That In cases of all stocks bought and sold regular the trades shall bo carried out nnd that In cases where fetock has been bought regular and sold In the account the stock shall not bo delivered until tbo opening of the clearing house. " The Chicago News Bureau says : The banks are taking this Diamond Match flurry very comfortably. Their only anxiety seems to be to help out customers. The basis of bank loans on tho.Moore securities has been a low one for a long while. The New- York Biscuit has not been n popular col lateral even. Diamond Match has been popular , but the banks have understood them was a lot of water In It. " Chicago News Bureau , which deals In Board of Trade and Stock-exchange newssays , further : "The banks have been ultraconservative servative In their loans to the Moores and their Interest Is rather Indirect than direct. Some banks ha\c not , loaned above 110. It has bcon considered thai the stoek was good collateral up to 150. The banks * Interest Is really chiefly In the Interests ot their custom ers. Most ot the big commission houses have had the Moore bushiest and have helped to carry the securities , The anxiety ot the banks Is not so great In regard to Diamond Match loans as regarding New York Biscuit , which was marked up from 30 to over par. There ) Is hardly a rich man In town who has not been In some way Interested ! usually as a money lender , Boston has been very largely Interested , also .Baltimore. EFFECT ON NEW YORK. NEW YORK , Aug. 4.The announcement ot the failure In Chicago last night of Moore Bros. , the promoters of the Diamond Match company and thb New York Biscuit company , resulted In the prevalence here to day of all sorts ot rumors' concerning the effect upon the business at the New York ofilccs of the concern mentioned. Scorrs of persons who are Interested-It ! the affairs of tbo Diamond Match . .company visited the offices of that company In Hudson street , of which George P. Johnson Is manager. Mr. Johnson was not at the. ofllce today , having sent down word that he was sick. He re ceived news of the failure of Moore Bros , last evening. Mr. Johnson's secretary said because Moore Bros , owned a good I'eul ' of stock In the Diamond Match company It did not necessarily follow that their failure would result In a discontinuance of the " business of the concern , "A great many others besides the Moores own stock In the company , " said the sec retary , "and the company will certainly go ahead and fill Its orders. Beyond the mere announcement of the failure ot Moore Bros. , Mr. Johnson has noInformation. " Until word Is received from President 0 C. Barber no official statement of Just how much the stock of the company Is Involved In the failure of Moore Bros , can bo made , The following statement was given out to o representative of the Associated press at the oflice of the New York Biscuit company Ir this city : "Tho failure of Moore Bros , will In nc manner affect the business of the New York Biscuit company. The fact that Mr. William H. Moore of Moore Bros , is presi dent of the company Is no reason why we should be 'affected In the least. We have heard of the failure , and that Is about all The stock of the company Is well protected It Is very likely that when full Informatlor Is received from Chicago It will be fount that the affairs pf Moore Bros , will be al settled within a very short time. Whetbei they arc or not , business .liere will go 01 just the same as if Mooro'Bros , were per fectly solvent. Mr. WllllAm Moor",1 p'fesi' dent of the company , tis not. in New Yorl City today , although , it Is stated that hi is in the cast ! " ' George P. Johnson , whof Is manager foi the Diamond Match company in New York Is also treasurer of the New York Biscuit company. . , < BISCUIT IS-SOLVENT. The following statement has been giver out by an official of the New York Blscull company : "Since this company has beet : organized with Judge Moore at Its head , 11 has always earned from 'C to 10 per ccnl annually on the capital Invested. For the past five quarters , up'"to July 1 last , we have failed to declare "a dividend. This was because the money was'uscdMn the construc tion of two new buildings , which represcnl between $3,000,000 nnd ' 1,000,000. One oi the buildings , at 78 Tenth avenue , cosl nearly $2,000,000. It Is Just about finished The other new building has been erected li Chicago. Both these buildings arc soune assets. When the last .quarter came aroum wo declared a dividend at the rate ot 6 pel cent. We do not expect to pasa anothci dividend unless , of course , Jt Is gone to buj assets. " On good authority It Is stated that New York banks hold practically no paper o Moore Bros , or of Diamond-Hatch or Bus cult. Moore Bros' , paper Is , however largely held In Providence,3 Boston and Nev England , generally. The' firm was cstl mated to be worth about $2,000,000 In 1S05 Considerable stock , however , it Is said , I : held In loans by different banks and In stltutlons in the cast. Loans on Dlamom Match for the last few months have beei made outside of Chicago , at least at par Some ot the Chicago loans are at par am an Impression prevails that the stock ma ; go somewhere near that figure , perhaps i little lower , as the bapk loans will have t < be liquidated sooner or later. BOSTON , Aug. 4 , Bostpn Investors am business men arc not seriously affected b ; the failure of Moore Brosof Chicago , am the stock of the Diamond , Match compan ; and New York Biscuit company , as far ai can be learned , Is not held to any grea amount in Boston and vicinity.

HASTINGS , Aug. 4. ( Special Telegram. ) What Is expected to be one of the most ntcrestlng coinentknia In the history ot the populist party In Nebraska will convene at the opera house at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The delegates arrived early and nearly all of them were on the ground when the Doug las county delegation came In this evening. The hotels wcro swamped and the late ar rivals were lucky to obtain the privilege ot sleeping on cots In the hallway. Politics were on tap In profusion in the lobby of the Hotel Bostwlck during the evening. The delegatcj wcdgsl thcmsclvcH Into a compact mass and talked and gesticulated with an energy sufficient to settle all the political problems ot the next decade. But all this was to very little purpose. It has been no general agreement on a definite1 line of policy and present appearances Indi cate that one halt the delegates will go Into the convention without knowing what the other half expects to do. It is noticeable that the expected battle between the "mlddlc-of the-road" populists and their more liberal opponents cuts no great figure In the ante- convuitlon dcllbciatlons. The main ques tion In controversy Is the extent of recogni tion that Is to be accorded to the democrats In return for their endorsement of the ticket. C J. Emythe and C. H. Brown cf Cniaha , rep resenting the democratic state central com mittee arrived at Hastings early this atlci- noon. They were met by several other democratic leaders and during the evening they hold a long conference In a private room at the hotel. Soon alter Mr. Sinytho stated that nothing definite had been determined on , but they would have another conference at 8:30 : tomorrow morning. They had re- cohed no Invitation to confer with the popu lists. It is generally understood that Mr. Sinytho and his colleagues will ask for four ot the eight electors , besides treasurer and attorney general. They do not Intend to recommend any candidates for these places , but will simply ask , that they bo left vacant to be filled by thu democratic state convention. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. There Is a marked difference of opinion among the populists on this subject. The leaders declare that the party Is ready to do the square thing , but they hesitate to say definitely what that means. There Is u strong disposition among the rank and file to take the bit In their teeth. They declare that the demociats are not In a posi tion to dictate and must take what they can get. These delegates insist that If the democrats get two electors and attorney general It will be nil they can expect. To what extent this sentiment will prevail In the convention remains to be seen , but the Indications are that there will be a strong .opposition to any plan that gives the democrats more than ono place ou the state ticket. , TbcrAhas.befin circulated a repqrt that the convention' would not bo able to finish its entire business before Thursday night , but as there does not seem to be any reai hot fight on , It is said by responsible authority that everything will be harmonious and no split between the Bryan populists and the "middle-of-the-road" clement. As the dele gates' railroad tickets are limited to Thurs- 'day they say it is Important that all busi ness be finished tomorrow night , If they have to stay up all night to do It. There Is one thing noticeable and that Is theio are plenty of candidates to pick from , as almost every county represented has a candidate for some ofilce , and It keeps the delegates quite busy bobbing around from one place to another , only to be buttonholed by ofilce seekers. Of course , Governor Holcomb will be re- nomiuatcd. Among the men most promi nently spoken of for the various ofilces arc : Lieutenant governor , Senator Harris of Ne- maha county ; O. Hall , Harlan ; J. N , . Gaflln , Saunders ; secretary of state , 0. C. Wecsncr and W. H. Waldron of Adams ; auditor of public accounts , O. Nelson , Colfax ; H. Cor nell , Richardson ; W. 0.

( Special Telegram. ) The conference of qouml money demo crats of lown met hero this afternoon. Over CO were In attendance. Many who had ex- icctcd to attend sent word they wcro un able to do so. Nevertheless the action token can be safely regarded as representative ot the wishes of a largo body of sound money lomocrats of the stato. Reports brought o the meeting from all over the state In- llcatc that there Is a large clement ot sound , noney democrats who will not support a sound money ticket , because they fear It would Increase the chance ot Bryan's elec tion. They believe every sound money man should take no chances , but should vote fop MeKlnley. The Germans are very generally of this tnlnd , and although they will dlvldo n Scott county between the third ticket and the republican nominees , yet In the ; reater part of the state they will vote fop MeKlnley. The conference this afternoon resolved to join thu national movement fop n third ticket. The meeting called only a \cek ago represented almost half the coun- les of the state and was unanimously fop the third ticket. Judge John Cllggctt of Mason City , A wheel horse of many campaigns , was chair man , and expressed the sentiment of the ucetlng In his opening address. He de clared that the sound money democrats wcro confronted on one hand by the popu- Istlc platform and ticket of Chicago ; on the other hand by the republican party , with sound money In one hand , but with McKlnleyUm , that abhorrence of every two democrat , In the other. The democrats arc Invited by the republicans to vote fop MeKlnley , but It Is too great a sacrifice to give up everything else that they have held as sacred. They could only adopt oao course , to stand together and hold up the jannor of true democracy In the face ot all opposition and apparent hopelessness. Jo said the republicans asked the democrats : o bo patriotic now , but he demanded to icnow when republicans In connress , In the ast three years , had been patriotic enough to rise above the level of the smallest partisanship. ENDORSES GROVER CLEVELAND. At the conclusion of the address Bob Moore of Ottumwa Introduced the following , which was adopted : Resolved , That this conference hcnrtlly endorse the wise , patriotic nnd honest nd- ministration of Grovcr Cleveland us the safest. In the time of severest test , slnco the administration of Lincoln , and we com mend his financial policy to thu admiration ot the world.
