"In 1893 the World-Herald did not bcllovo that the Intcrc8tx of the people of the state of Nebraska required the free and unlim F ited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 , but upon the contrary the Omaha World- K Herald then advocated anil In that some editorial net down thlt the only kind of bimetallism which the people of the state of Nebraska were Interested In was a bi metallism based on the icasonablo value of the two metals , by which there should bo put Into the silver dollar a quantity of sil ver sufficient to maka It Intrinsically worth ns much as a gold dollar. Upon that point. In this same editorial , the World-Herald said ! 'We have no silver mines In Ne braska and the Interests of the people of this state simply require free and unlimited colnago of silver , upon the basis of Its reasonable value , which cannot be far from one part of K ° ld to twenty-five of silver ' "Lest my friends may think that I nm tnlsrcprcKcntlnK the Omaha World-Herald as to that editorial , I will read It at length : WllT TO H .

Lambertson has returned from a speaking tour of the state in the Interest of Major McKlnley , in which ho addressed large audi ences at Kearney , Norfolk , O'Neill and Ncllgh. In the course of conversation this morning , he said : "The Interest the people of Nebraska are manifesting In the political discussion this year Is unprecedented. Everywhere I have been the crowds have been unusually large and enthusiastic. At Kearney the audience was large , attentive and enthusiastic. Mon day night I spoke to 4,000 people at Nor folk , many of whom were democrats and populists , which nugurs well for the cause of republicanism , because It demonstrates that they realize the momentous situation and desire information. The republicans have made largo gains in Holt county and lost but a small numbec. Altogether the situation Is encouraging to republicans and Is growing brighter every day. " This afternoon Governor Iloleomb left for Sidney where ho will address , a Bryan-Hoi- comb rally tomorrow afternoon and even ing.At At the governor's office this morning Farmer Harris , populist candidate for Itcu- teuant governor , was n caller. N. J. R. McKee of Palmyra , chairman of the Otoo county central committee , was a visitor at republican state headquarters this niornlic. Chairman McKee was the har binger of cheering news from Otoo county. Ho said McKliilcy would have a good ma jority in the county over Bryan and that from 13 to 20 per cent of the democrats of Palmym precinct had como o\tr to McKlnley and sound money , among them a number of active workers , The pops and free silver democrats of Lancaster county arc by the cars and bit terly quarreling over the nomination of Judgu J. II. llroady , candidate for congress from the First district. > As n body , the popu lists denounce Broady's selection , aa they wanted the nomlratlon to go to one of their number , but the populists are. also , "all torn up the back" among themselves about the matter. The Bcrge people are particularly sere on the McNcrney follow era , whose obstinate bullhcadness. they assert , de feated Bcrgc' , nnd made the nomination of Broady possible. It la claimed by Bergo's friends that had McNcrnoy's strength come to .them at the proper time Burgo would have been nominated. As against this MeNcnioy's friends come back with the aKsertlon that had the Bergo people coma to McNcrnoy his nomination would have been accomplished. Me nil whl hi the prospects of Judga Jesse 11. Strode , republican candidate for congress , are quite Haltering. It Is estimated that Ills plurality will bo 2,000 In the district. 1'oiuillr.tN In Convention. BURWfiLL , Neb. , Aug. 14.

It Is expected that ho will speak at Iluffalo on August 27 nnd at 12rle , I'a. , two days later. Among Mr. Bryan's callers today were Congressman Sulzcr of this city , National Conimlttpman Jackson of Tennessee and Mr. anil Mrs , Illchnrdson of Vlcksburg , Mlta. Mr. Sewall will leave for his home In Bath , Me. , In a day or two. He expresses himself as entirely satisfied with the way events are shaping themselves for the democratic ticket. Th ( > arrangement of Mr. Bryan's Itinerary was as much In the hands of Mrs. Bryan as it was of the candidate himself , and through her urging Mr. Sewall , the vice presidential candidate , decided to go with them. Mr. Walker Is an old friend of Mr. Bryan and It had been Intended to spend the entire vacation with him until Mrs. Bryan changed the plan , This afternoon the candidate nnd his wife visited a local photographer and were photo graphed. To a reporter for the Associated press Mr. Bryan nald this afternoon : " 1 nm going for a week's rest , not so much because I feel wearied or physically Incapable of keep ing up the work , but because 1 must prc- pare my letter of acceptance , and to do that I need quiet. Mr. WalKcr Is n friend of mine and wo shall spend Sunday with him. Mrs. I'crrlno Is n friend of my wife's and her old school teacher nt the Jackson ville Female academy. We shall probably stay there for n week or ten days. Then I shall return to Now York City. " " \Vhcn you come back to Now York , what will your future program be ? " "I shall leave for the West , making my first stop at Buffalo , where I will speak. Then I will go on further west , speaking at Krle , Pa. , and at Cleveland. Further than that we have not planned. " Senator Stewart , Senator Johnes , Governor Stouo nnd Mr. Sowall were with Mr. Bryan for several hours. It Is believed that Mr. Bryan will not only not speak In the New England states , but that ho will even re frain from going over there. 1MCKKU UP AT II Drlilocrntlc CnntimlK" JIiiiii K < TH KII- ooni'llK-i'il Over tlir OullooU. WASHINGTON , Aug. 14. There was a rush of visitors at the democratic head quarters today , Including General A. J. Warner of Ohio , chairman of the Bimetallic league , who arrived today ; Representative Klthlan of Illinois , Swanson and Jones of Virginia , and Mr. Pugh , the democratic can didate for congress In the Fourth North Carolina district. Chalrmau Falkner said the question of locating national headquarters would be SQttled before the week closed , but ho had no Information more encouraging than Washington's claims. General Warner , who had Just come on from New Yoik , said the feeling was that the contest was to be waged in the states surrounding Chicago , and it would bo natural to make Chicago the center. At the same time , he said , there was no definite decision up to the time he left. left.Tho The personnel of the executive committee , which is about to be named , Is attracting much attention. General Warner aald that while ho had no direct Information , ho bo- Ilevcd Chairman Jonei. would Include ex- Rcpresenfatlvo ICerr of Pennsylvania. George Fred Williams of Massachusetts and Mr. Troup of Connecticut on the committee. Mr. Pugh of North Carolina says that the report of today as to the popul'st ' conven tion In that state indicates there will be a three-cornered tight , In which event he says democratic success will be made more easy. Ho says the populists of North Carolina will vote for Mr. Bryan. Mr. Swanson is hero to sccuro campaign llteratuic and speakers for Virginia , lie says there is unparalleled Interest In the rural sections of Virginia and that the cam paign will bo opened in earnest in Septem ber. Secretary Gardner of the democratic con gressional committee Is back from the New York meeting. Mr. Gardner Indicates that silver clubs are being formed Independent of the National Association of Democratic Clubs and that steps will be taken to effect a national organization of the silver clubs. At the republican headquarters there was the usual air of systematic business. Chair man Babcock said there were no develop ments beyond the strong encouragement brought by mall from every section of the country. Harold M. Sewall. son of the democratic candidate for vice president , Is among the sp < Mikcrs who will stump the state of Maine for McKlnlcy and Hobart. Ills name Is Included In the list forwarded to the re- puhllran headquarters hero by National Ccniniltteeman Manley. KUS10X ISFKUCTISIl \VASHIXOTO\ \ .

After an all-night session of the Joint conference , the populists submitted a proposition , which was approved by the silver republicans , making the following distribution of offices : For populists , governor , lieutenant gov ernor , sccictary of state , treasurer , au ditor , land commissioner , two electors and ono congressman , For democrats , Judge of the supreme court , state printer , two electors. For sliver republicans , attorney general and onu congressman. The democratic , populist nnd silver re publican conventions met today and re ceived representatives from the conference committees. Each then took a recess to give the committee further time to confer , the democrats being dissatisfied with the distribution of offices. The present situa tion suggests a fusion between the populists and free silver men , with a separate demo cratic ticket. When the convention adjourned fusion scorned to bo as for away as ever. The con- fcrence committees of the various conven tions have been Instructed to confer again. A report Is expected tomorrow. After the conventions adjourned , how ever , a fusion plan was agreed to. The name of the party will be the people's party. It was brought about tonight , when the populist convention decided to allow the democrats to nominate ono congress man , In addition to the other ohlccs al lotted to them. llr > nn Club IlolilN u .Mi.

The county olflcers and the two state cxccutUe committees to use their good offices to sccuro a fair nnd honorable division of county lcglstatl\c candidates between thd two parties on an equitable ratio similar to the above division of state and con gressional offices. The democrats had only proposed fusion on the electoral ticket. Mr , Manley In his reply says he regaidcd the memorandum from Senator Butler as private and did not submit It to hi : committee. He says : "In furtherance to your communication I would respectfully say that the executive commit tee of the democratic party made this props- sltlon for electoral fusion In perfect good faith , and we still express the hope that our Inability to come to any satisfactory arrangement to the effect nnd manner you propose will not he r.llc'.Tnl to stand In thu way of some just atiangcmcnt by which Mr. Bryan , the nominee of the democratic , populfst and sliver parties , shall receive the united suppoit of these organizations. Its failure to have one electoral ticket for Mr , Bryan may result In Mr. McKlnlcy's re ceiving the entire electoral vote of North Caiollmi , although he receives many thou sands less of the popular votes at the polls than may be received by Mr. Bryan. It may be that the loss of the electoral vote of North Carolina will result In the election of McKtnlcy and the fixing of the gold stand ard upon the people for four more years. It was to avoid the possibility of such a result that the democratic executive committee made Its proposition of July 31 for electoral fusion , presented It in a more definite shape at Its meeting on the 10th of August and now again presses Its acceptance on you , "There Is also a warm and sincere de sire on the part of the democratic party that the prospect of the financial reform legisla tion demanded In the Chicago platform and reiterated in the national platform of the people's party , In the event of the election of Bryan , shall not fall for the want of n majority for silver Interests In the national house of representatives and to that end every effort ou the part of nil parties be lieving In silver should be directed to the defeat of gold standard candidates in every congressional district In the state , and It at any time before the election in any con gressional district there should be running for congiess two silver candidates , the repre sentatives of our respective parties , and the division of the silver vote thus brought about would make probable the election of a gold standard candidate , I believe It would become our duty In some honorable way to meet the situation so as to prevent this result.

( Special The various ward McKlnley clubs in Sioux Falls have been united into , one organiza tion , which will bo called the Sioux Falls McKinley club. E. A. Sherman was elected president , E. A. Purdle , vice president , and A. F. Orr secretary. The club authorized its executive committee to arrange for a grand rally as soon as possible , probably next week. A cornmlttco was appointed to make arrangements for a suitable place in which to hold rallies. The largest audience room In town is the opera house , which will not 'accommodate over 800 people , and aa speakers will be here during the cam paign who will draw crowds of from 3,000 to 6,000 and 7,000 , It becomes necessary to arrange for suitable quarters. It is probable that a large tent will be rented for the campaign. Colonel R. J. Woods , who was present at the meeting of the executive commutes of tha club last night made a statement of the situation over the state. He declared that the atmosphere had materially cleared since the Chicago convention , and that the out look now was that McKlnley would carry South Dakota by a large majority. The county central committee has rented the block formerly occupied by the post office and established its headquarters there. A vast quantity of literature will be placed in the rooms , which will bo well lighted and comfortably seated. These rooms will be maintained during the campaign , and nil of the emaller meetings will be held there. F. L. Rowland returned last evening from a trip Into the northwestern part of the county. He says that the report that the farmers are for frco silver Is untrue. In several of the northwestern townships he says that the republicans have made definite gains over two years ago , nnd that the tremendous free silver sentiment which has been talked of so much exists only In spots. There are a few precincts where the republicans have lost heavily , but Row land thinks that these losses are more than counter-balanced by gains elsewhere In the townships.

( Special. ) It Is not thought here that Judge Bartlett Trlpp will bo a candidate for the federal judgcshlp vacancy , caused by the death of Judge Kdgerton. Judge Trlpp has returned to his Austrian mission , and Is quoted as having said before he left South Dakota that ho had received honors at the hands of the party and would not become a can didate for the oflicc. Judge John E. Garland of this city Is thought to bo the most likely to receive the appointment. The bar of this city has unanimously endorsed him for the place , as has also thu bar of adjacent coun ties , This Las been done without solicita tion fiom Judge Garland , and in several cases without his knowledge. The Lincoln county bar has sent him Its unanimous en dorsement entirely unsolicited , and ho Is receiving daily letters from every part of the state endorsing him for the position and expressing the hope that he will be ap pointed , Judge Carlaud's well known advocacy of sound money , It Is thought , will stand him In good stead at this time , Ho was the leader of the sound money light In the demo cratic convention at Aberdeen , was chair man of the committee on resolutions , nnd was the leader of the sound money forces on thu floor , The attempt to prejudice Judge Garland's casu by the statement that ho voted lor Brynn In the Chicago conven tion will have little effect , as ono of the fouth Dakota delegates did not vote for Bryan , and It cannot bo shown that Judge Garland was not that ono. of IIMVII l > L > ninirilM , IE3 MOINES.

At midnight It was announced that Senator Gorman has re fused to accept the chairmanship of the campaign committee , The national head quarters , U Is announced , Will bo at Chicago. The selection of Chicago Is out of deference to the wished of Mr. Uryau , and Mr. Gorman declines the chairmanship because of the selection. These announcements come as the climax of a day loaded with troubles and rumors of troubles In the democratic camp. One of the latest of the rumors Is that Chairman Jones of the national committee had de cided upon those who will compose the cam paign committee , and they will probably be appointed tomorrow. The names given are : John R. McLean , Ohio ; Governor Stone , Mis souri ; Clarke Howell , jr. , Georgia ; C. A. Walsh , Iowa ; J. H. Shauklln , Indiana ; J. J. Lhvycr , California ; D. J , Campau , Michigan , and J. II. Johnson , Kansas. Governor Alt- geld may also be appointed a member of the committee. Hut nil this Is poppycock by the side of the fact that Senator Jones left tonight for Washington without appointing either his executive committee or the campaign com mittee. The conferences during the day have been lengthy and evidently of impor- trnru. Senator Gorman , Senator Jones , Mr. Sowall , the vice presidential candidate , Gov ernor Stone of Missouri , and Presidential Candidate llryan have talked during the day , but nro evidently no ncaier a solution of the mystery which Is alleged toulght to be Sen ator Gorman's terms for managing the cam paign. The story runs that Gorman has said that lie will head the campaign com mittee provided he has executive managu- tncnt of affairs , or In other words can con duct it on lines ho thinks best. The sil ver men do not believe that such power should be given to Gorman and they art urclng the name of Governor Stone. In addition to this , there Is said to be decided friction in the committee over the plan proposed to discipline the gold state coimnlttecmcn , who have not attended the meeting of the national committee. Chair man Jones and Senator Gorman urge that some radical departure , such ns removal , should be the method employed , while oth ers are of tlio opinion that radical action of that sort would hurt the candidate. Whatever the dltnculty , It is a fact that the delay In appointment of the com mittees was' not contemplated. Senator Jones announced that he would appoint the committees on' Wednesday , and has set cer tain hours during the past two days when ho would 'maUij the announcement. Post ponement has resulted each time , and his departure tonlglit without taking action comes as a surprise. ouTfiu3\V' tun OMJ OVAKTHKS. Fifth AViiril rifiMiMloaii CluliSceiir.N ' ' 'a ' Larger Hall. Members lot the Fifth Ward McKlnley and Hobart club'held a rousing open-air meetIng - Ing at Nineteenth and Lake streets last night , at which William B. Christie , J. L. Balrd nndj others delivered enthusiastic speeches , advocating the doctrines of sound money and a' protective tariff. Before the adjournment of the club , the question of Changing the night of nieetlng was brought upf ioir'Sfter some discussion It was votqd to hereafter hold all regular meet ings on Tuesday , instead of Fridaynights. . The next meeting of the club will be held next Tuesday night. Messrs. Askwlth , Balrd and Parmlce were appointed a committee to secure a new hall , the membership of the club having increased to such an extent that the old hall at Nine teenth and Lake streets was too small for Its accommodation. The committee retired and in a short time returned to announce that one of the large halls at Sherman ave nue and Corby street had been leased until after election. The report was accepted and the committee continued , being given author ity to receive bids for the seating of the new hall. In addition to securing the hall on Sher man avenue , the members of the committee will see that the rooms are kept open every day , and that they are made the headquar ters for the republican voters of the Fifth ward. These rooms In the new location will be supplied with the leading republican newspapers and an endless supply of cam paign literature. The new rooms will be dedicated next Tuesday night , at which time It Is the Intention of the club members to have music by a Land and oratory by some of the leading republican speakers. Who Are the Common People ? OMAHA , Aug. 14. To the Editor of The Bee : In leading the latter of acceptance delivered by Mr. Bryan In Now York , he displays his ardent love for the common people. Who are the common people , will Mr. Bryan please designate ? Does Mr. Bryan belong to a different race from , and , If so , from whence came this Solonlc race ? The American people do not recognize any such appellation as applied to them by Mr. Uryan and his associates. We arc all equal before the law ns American citizens , and will not accept the noxV name applied to us by our modern philosophers and embryo statesman. Mr. "Bryan has lately displayed an ardent love for the farmer and the work- Ingman. Four years ago , when ho advo cated free wool , ho did not care how much ho Injured the farmer and sheep raiser. Now It Is different ; he wants their votes. Is the American farmer and sheep raiser so foolish as to bo misled by the man who helped to rob them ? I think not , The worklngman next receives his sympathy ; they have votes and he wants them to place him In powe1so lie can distribute postof- flces to his friends. Mr. Bryan , when In congress , advocated the Wilson bill , and still adheres 'to ' his free trada principles.

Bryan's long-winded oration tion on his acceptance of the nomination for the presidency , ho never mentions the tariff and has nothing to say about Amer ican protection. I suppose he considers such mere antiquated trifles as beneath his notice. I presume he would like to erase from our utatutes his active participation In the crime of 1693. Ills aim and object Is to turn the people's attention from a real crime to a fancied one , and charge all our sufferings and financial distress to what ho designates as the crime of ' 73. Ho has sang that song whenever ho could get an audience , much to the disgust of sober , seiulblo men , but It won't work. Mr. Bryan , wo had prosperous times oven until you and your confederates destroyed our Industries by vicious legislation , and the people of this country have too much com mon seneo to trust you and your nondescript party with their welfare , and when No vember comes they will consign you and your party to the peaceful shades of ob livion.

When the pressure rose to the highest and the ICP was piled up high above the bulwarks , the ship was broken loose and slowly lifted out of the bid , In which the vessel hod been frozen , but not the slight est sign of a spill was to be discovered anywhere In her. After that experience I consider the Krnm almost equal to anything In the way of pressure. Afterward wo ex perienced nothing more of the Ulnd , but our drift wns rapidly continued north and north westward. "As I now with certainty anticipated that the Pram would soon reach her highest latitude north of Franz Josef land and that she would not easily fall to carry out the program of the expedition , viz : To cross the unknown polar basin , I decided to leave the ship In order to explore the sea north of the route , Lieutenant Johanson volun teered to Join mu , and I could not easily have found a better companion In every icspect. The leadership of the expedition on board the Frain I left to Captain Scber- drup. With my trust In his qualifications as a lender and his ability to overcome dtfllculties I have no fear but that ho will bring all the men safely back , oven If the worst should happen and the Fram be lost , which I consider Improbable. "On March 3 , wo reached 84 degrees four minutes north. Johanson and I left the Fram on March 14 , 1893 , at S3 degrees fifty- nine minutes north and 102 degrees twenty- seven minutes east. Our purpose was to L"- ploro the sea to the north and reach the highest latitude possible and then to go to Spltzbergen , via Franz Josef land , where wo felt certain to find a ship. We had twenty- eight dogs , two .sledges and two kyaks for possible , open waters. The dog food was calculated for thirty days and our pro visions for 100 days. We found the Ice in the beginning tolerably good traveling and so made good distances and the Ice did not appear to bo drifting much. On March 22 wo were nt 35 degrees 10 minutes north. Al though the dogs -vere less enduring than we had hoped , still they were tolerably good. The Ice now became rougher and the drift contrary. On March 23 WP had only reached 85 degrees 10 minutes north , and ton March 29 , S3 degrees 30 minutes. "We were now evidently drifting toward the south. Our progress was very slow. It was fatiguing to work our way fnd carry our sledges over the high hummocks con stantly being built up by the floes grinding against each other. The ice was in strong movement , and the Ice pressure was heard In all directions. "On April 3 wo were at 85 degrees 50 min utes north , constantly hoping to meet smoother Ice. On April A wo reached SC degrees 3 minutes north , but the Ice became rough until on April 7 It got so bad that I considered It unwise to continue our march In a northerly direction. "Wo were then at 8C degrees 14 minutes north. We then made an excursion on skis further northward In order to examine aa to the possibility of a further advance. But we1 could see nothing' but ice of the BflVuo description , hummock and hummock to the horizon , looking like a si-a of frozen breakers. "We had had low temperature. During nearly three weeks It was In the neighbor hood of nearly 40 degrees below zero. On April 1 It rose to 8 degrees below zero'but soon sank again to 3S. When a wind was blowing in this temperature we did not feel comfortable In our too thin woolen clothing. To save weight , we had left our fur suits on board ship .Tho minimum vm- porature in March was 59 , and this maximum was 24 ; in April the minimum was 3S and the maximum 20 degrees. "Wo saw no sign of land in any direction. In fact the floe Ice seemed to move so freely before the wind that there could not have been anything In the way of land to stop It for a long distance off. Wo were now drifting rapidly northward. "On April S wo began our march toward Franz Josef land. On April 12 our watches ran down owing to the unsual length of the day march. After that date we were uncertain as to our longitude , but hoped that our dead reckoning was fairly correct. As wo came south we met many cracks , which greatly letnrrled our progress. The provisions were rapidly decreasing. The dogs wcro killed one after the other to feed the rest. In June the cracks became very bad and the snow was in exceedingly bad condition for traveling. "The dogs and the ski and sledge ruu- nora broke through the superficial crust and sank deep In the wet snow. Only a fe > \ - dogs were now left , and progress was next to Impossible. But , unfortunately , ve had no line of retreat. The dogs' ra'lons , ns well as our own , were reduced to a minimum and we inado the best vny we could. We expected dally to find land In sight , but we looked In vain , Ou May 31 we were in 82 degrees 21 minutes north and on Juno 4 In S3 degrees 1 mlnuto north , but on Juno 15 wo had been drifted to the northwest to 82 degrees 2C minutes north , No land was to be Keen , although according to Payer's map wo had expected to meet with Petcrmann land at S3 degrees north. These discrepancies became moic and more puzzling us time went on. "On June 23 wo had at last shot a bearded seal and as the enow became constantly worse wo determined to wait. Wo now had a supply of seal meat until It molted away , Wo also shot three bears. We had only two dogs left , which were now well fed upon meat. "On July 22 wo continued our Journey over tolerably good snow , On July 24 , when about 82 degrees north , wo Nlghtcd un known land at last , but the lee was every where broken Into small flues , the water between being filled with crushed Ice , In which the use of the kayaks wns Impos sible. Wo , therefore , had to make oilr way by balancing from one Ice piece to an other , and wo did not reach land until August 0 , at St.38 north , and about 43 de crees east loncltudc.

In the course of some parliamentary remi niscences Sir George Osborne Morgan says that the most brilliant speaker the HOURO of Commons has known for several genera tions was Disraeli , who was n master of the < art of phrase-making. Nowadays there are fewer displays of ornate oratory , nnd the general tone of debate is uioro business like than formerly. "The boldest man would scarcely venture now to clto the most familiar line of Horace or Virgil , " says Sir George. There has been a similar decline < of rhetorical flourish In American oratory. ; Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes was recently the EiioHt of Lord Chief Justice Russell nt a dinner party In London. In commenting on thu fact the London Law Journal said : "The son of the genial 'Autocrat' Is among , the best equipped lawyers on either side' ' of the Atlantic. His book on 'The Common Law , " which he wrote several ycurs ago , la ] ono of the most erudite legal works over published , and has enjoyed a largo circula tion In England ns well as In America.
