CHEYENNE , Aug. 12 , ( Special Telegram. )
The republican state convention was un-
nblo to transact any business this mornIng -
Ing because Its committee on resolutions ,
after wrestling .with the financial question
for nearly twenty-four "hours , had not been
able to reach an agreement. A light was
predicted when It became known that ex
Senator Carey , the leader of the gold standard
men , had secured a proxy and was lo been
on the floor of the convention , when the
resolutions committee reported.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the convention
assembled and It was announced that the
committee on resolutions was ready to re
port. The anticipated fight neemcd about
to bo verified , for Senator Clarence 1) ) . Clark ,
P. E. Warren and Representative Mondcll ,
as well as ex-Senator Carey , entered the
convention ns delegates , upon the proxies
of delegates from their counties.
The resolutions endorsed and approved the
candidacy of McKlnley and Hobart ; reaf
firmed the republican policy of protection
and pronounced It the paramount Issue In
the present campaign ; favored the enact
ment of laws to old Irrigation ; condemned
the present timber reserve laws ; tavorcd
enactment of laws to pi oven t sheep and
cattle from being drhcn through the state.
If not taxed ; endorsed the action ot the
state republicans In congress and approved
the state administration. The financial
plank reads :
" \V'o fn\or the free coinage of gold and
silver Into standard money ns expressed In
our former platforms under such legisla
tion ns will guarantee that all our money
shall remain on an equality. "
NO FIQHT MADR.
The 'report concluded : "The republican
paity of this state has herein set forth Its
honest convictions without fear of cuntempl
or hope of reward. "
The resolutions were evidently satlsfae
tory to all factions , as there ws.J no dls
scntlng voice raised against the resolution :
and they were adopted by the convention.
Nominations were too quickly made. Fran !

NEW YORK , Aug. 13. The World this
morning published a signed statement writ-
en by T. K. Watson , Ihe populist nominee
or vlco president of the United SUtcs. llr.
.Yatsou . says , In part :
"When the national convention of the
people's party adjourned after the nomlna-
ton of Mr. Watson , as a set-off to thai ot
Mr. Bryan , Ihcro was an Interval of several
lays In which Itwas difficult lo sec whoso
Irlumph It was. As Iho third week hai
massed away It Is now quite clear that the
lopullsl nominee has not been swept away
and that his position grows stronger dally ,
n Florida the St. Louis ticket was en-
lorsc-d , also In Georgia , Louisiana , Missouri
and Texas. In Nebraska Itself , the home of
Mr. Ilrj-nn , the populists have thii < ! far dc-
nandcd Watson RI Bryan's running mate.
in Kansas the Ipadcrs have apparently
traded off the electoral vote to Sowall In
return for the state house oiliecrs. It re
mains to bo seen whether thb people of
Kansas r.'lll ratify the trade. In Iowa , Gen
eral Wearer's state , the populists declined
fusion offers and put out a strHghl Bryan
nml Watson ticket. Indiana , Wyoming and
Wisconsin have done likewise. As n matler
of fad , Ihc great fusion movement has thus
far carried but four states , while n straight
lopullst carried thlitcen and Is lighting
Is opponents to a standstill In the others ,
If the rank and file can be heard from lu all
I lie conventions , we are In no doubt ot the
icstilt , und the rank and file will probably
l ) heard from. "
Mr Watson has asked the nallonal com
mittee to send him to the west. He be
lieves that ho should appeal to these people
face to face In this crisis. The west sent
lier Weavers and her Simpsons and her
Mary Rllen Leases to the south In ISflO ,
asking that the south break awny from the
old parly lies and meet the wesl In an
organization whoso aim should be to unite
the west qnd south In political brother
hood. The 'south responded and the man
from Georgia , who took his life In his
hand and stepped forth to meet Simpson
and Davis and Peffer ot Kansas , now wants
to meet the brave men of the west and ask
llumi whether they won't ' stand by southern
populism in tills day of peril. He believes
they will.
"Sewall Is the chain of the Ilryan wheel ,
the brakes to t Is career. The money power
dictated his nomination as a counter move
to Bryan's. In no other way can any one
explain why the entire south was passed
over In the choice of a vice presldenllal
nominee. Gorman. Iho goldbug and protec
tionist , Is controlling the plans for the
silver campaign and Sewall , the typical
eastern plutocrat. Is Bryan's running mate.
What docs this argue ? That If Sewall re
mains on the ticket and Gorman conllnuea
to pull the campaign wires the whole country
will see clearly enough that Mr. Pendleton
of Georgia was right when he said that he
was going to support the Chicago ticket
for the reason that no free silver law \v6ulel
be passed.
" \Ve cannot bo guilty of the absurdity ol
choosing a national banker ns our leader
In n light acalnst national banks. We can
not hope to escape ridicule and just rcproaoli
If wo chopsc an eastern plutocrat to lead
us In a contest against plutocracjWe
cannot believe that wo could keep our own
forces straight if wo should start on n
crusade against corporations under the com.
mand of a corporaUon king. Hence we
cannot under any circumstances vote for
Scwall electors. Any policy other than this
means death ta populism and we ought not
to be asked to kill our own party. "

W. J. Bryan and says : "Mr. Brj-an's speect

vhero to desire to withdraw their tnone ;

volition , whereby even existing contract !
calling for payment In gold will not bo valli
when free coinage Is carried. It Is , however
over , certain that railroads owing larg <
amounts of gold debts would , with the pro
tnlum on Gold , be unable to meet the Intercs

would be forced to pay some ot their debt

of such a contingency renders it extreme !

The live topic among local popocrnts Is
the selection of a candidate to run against

slonal central committee Is billed to meet
next Monday evening to select the ( Into of
the congressional convention and designate
the repiescntntlon. In the meantime n
meeting has been called for Saturday after
noon to consider the congressional situation.
This meeting will bo held at Crclghton hall
and will be In thu nature of an advisory
board , which will determine the policy to
bo pursued. About 1BO Invitations have
been Issued , and these were sent to demo
crats , populists and members of the Repub
lican Bimetallic league. One of the points
which will probably bu brought up Is the
advisability ot nominating a free silver re-
publlean for the place.
Nearly all the half dozen or so former
republicans , who have Impelled themselves
Into local notoriety by their spectacular
i enunciation of republican pilnclplis , ha\c
Ilxcd on the congressional nomination as
the tribute that will compensate them for
their change of fiont. They are not without
suppoit among the democrats , but there Is
a strong element lu the democratic party
that Is opposed to the nomination of any one
but a democrat. The Interests will conif
together Saturday , but with what result
remains to ho seen. Among the former
republicans who are spoken of in connec
tion with the nomination , Judge Gregory
und I < > ank Hansom arc the most prominent.
1. J. Dunn Is a democratic aspirant and
Judge K. H. Dullle Is also mentioned , There
Is a good deal ot pressure being used to In
duce C. J. Smyth to make the race for the
nomination , but Mr. Smyth declines to be
in active candidate.

to.everything that Is offered in the way of
argument.
"That this Ii resulting In a great change

and at the present rate one can tell at the

certainty what the result will be. That the
Irlft is toward the republican party and
sound money Is certain at the present time.

The Idea ot organizing n McKlnley club
In which the Intention to vote for Mc
Klnley for president , regardless of pollllcs ,
shall bo one * of the conditions of member
ship , has been received with marked fa\or.
ABMir.incen of support continue to como
to the republican headquarters from
prominent democrats. The formal organiza
tion of the club lids been delayed on ac
count of the numerous meetings which
occupy every night this week. A meeting
of the executive committee- the piesent
McKlnley club has been called for next
Monday night when the arrangements will
be completed and the declaration of
principles appro ed.
The supporters of J. It. MacColl In Douglas
county nro preparing to organise a MacColl
club on somewhat similar lints. The Idea
originated with Preside nt A. C. Powers of
the Young Republicans' Thurston club and
It was discussed at considerable length nt
the meeting of that organization
Wednesday night. It wns urged
that there nro many free silver
adherents In this part of the state who are
friendly toward MacColl and who could bo
enlisted In such an organization ns the one
pioposed. It IE proposed to U-aui national
Isbucs to the other organizations and to
make state politics the Issue In the new
organization. It was argued that the elec
tion of a republican governor wns of the
gieatcst Importance at this time In view of
the exposition and other matters of state
Interest. With a populist governor It was
urged that It would be didlcnlt to obtain
the gubernatorial support that would be
essential during the next two years. The
sentiment of the meeting was nearly
unanimous In favor ot the plan and a com
mittee was appointed to draw up a declara
tion of principles and report at the next
meeting. It was decided that GOO copies of
tills declaration should be printed and
distributed over the county for signatures.
The new club will have no connection with
the Thurston club , but will be an entirely
Independent organization for the promotion
of state Interests.

Ni\V YoilK , Aug , 13. Chairman Jones of
the democratic national committee was lu
nu > thing but a pleasant frame of mind today
und It Is said this evening ho made threats
ns to what would bo done If there was not
nctlvo partlclp.itIon lu the Bryan campaign
by alt the national cominUtocmen. For the
past few days Iho more radical members
Save been urging some action by the chair
man against the ubscnl ami Mipposcd-to-bo
inactive conimlttccmcn from New York ,
Connecticut and I'cnnsylvaula. Jones has
steadfastly refused to do anything and the
committee by vote yesterday lefialncd from
Interfering. Toilny , however , there came
a change In the situation. Following closely
the visit of a delegation of I'cnnsylvanla
r.on to Mr. Bryan , Chairman Jones at-
tunptcd to tunuonce the action of the Penn
sylvania committee by proclaiming In a tele-
giam that James Kerr of Clearneld would bo
K proper man ta elect chairman In place ot
Mr. Wright , resigned. The Harrlty men
liad a candidate of their own , Colonel Span-
filer. Lnto In the afternoon R telegram
from Harilsburg related that Mr. Spanglcr
would be elected. It Is said that Chairman
'oars then answered that If Kerr was not
chosen ho would resort to the power con
ferred upon him and would remove Harrlty
fiom the national committee' and appoint
Kerr.
Senator Jones was shown the dispatch re
lating to this story. He read It through
carefully and then positively declined to
talk. When he received n telegram saying
that Garmen , In whose favor Sputiglcr had
retired , had been elected over Kerr , thus
giving the victory to the Ilarrlty people ,
Senator Jones Is said to have made the
thre.it that all national comnilttecmcn who
lid not take an active part In thu cam
paign would bo ousted from the committee.
A friend of Mr. Harrlty and the Xow York ;
commlttecman , Mr. Sheelian , said , when the
matter was mentioned :
" 1 do not think that Senator Jones Is BO
acking In political knowledge as to make
that statement , The fact is he cannot re
move a member of the committee , and it
Is a question whether the committee Itself
can do that. The committee Is not a judga
of Its own members' qualification ! ! . The
only way a member can be removed Is by
the state committee or by his home com
mittee. Senator Jones has made n mistake. "
hater In the night , a friend "of Jones ex
pressed what may bo the plan ot the chair
man In disciplining the alleged ohstlnflto
members. He said : "I think that Chair
man Jones' attltudo has been mlxconstrucd
u the matter. He will not attempt to re
move the membeis of New York. Connecti
cut and Pennsylvania who have not taken
any part In our proceedings. But ho will
lo this. The chairman Is making his cam
paign and the executive committee was
slven power to select persons outside of
the national committee. The states of New
York , Connecticut and Pennsylvania will bo
represented on the committee , but not by
the national commltteemen. James Kerr
will probably bo chosen for Pennsylvania ,
Mr. Alexander Troup for Connecticut and
Mr. William SuUer for New York , although
the latter matter may be left open until
the New York state committee meets. > That
may be set down as Mr. Jones' plan. "
Chaliman Jones sent forth tonight to all
the newspaper men that ho had not yet com
pleted his committee list fully.
In the meantime , the matter of selecting
a national headquarters remains unsettled.
But It Is conceded that Washington stands
the best chance of obtaining it.
