LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Aug. 20. Kentucky
democrats who are not In sympathy with
the Chicago platform raised their standard
today and ( he Bourbon state will lead the
procession to Indianapolis. The convention
contained some 300 delegates. On the stage
were many of the men who have fought
democracy's battles In the state for n
quarter of a century. Two sessions were
licld. In the afternoon a temporary or-
KHiilzatloii was effected , the slate selections
of the various districts for committees and
electors wcro presented , and an addrcsi
was delivered by Colonel W , C. P. Ilrcck-
Inrldgo. The eloquent colonel's reappear-
on to Into public life was the occasion for
one of his best efforts. He pitched Into
the Chicago platform with might and main
nnd declared It was the duty of Kentucky
democrats to compass the defeat of Bryan
and Sowall , whose election , ho declared ,
would bo the greatest calamity that
could befall the people of the country.
Chairman Oenrgo M. Davis made a brief
npcech In calling the convention to order ,
It. J. Hlndman , who was made temporary
chairman , also spoke briefly In a humorous
vein. After the various committees had been
named nominations for electors were made
and n full list of delegates to the In
dianapolis convention was elected. A re
cess was then tnk n until evening.
About the sanio sized crowd as In the
afternoon had gathered In the hall at 8
o'clock. The following delcgates-at-largo
to the Indianapolis convention wcro chosen :
Governor S. B. Jluchncr , A. J. Carroll , W , C.
T. Brccklnrldge and William K. Browdcr.
The platform which was unanimously
adopted aroused frequent outbursts of
enthusiasm. It was a severe arraignment
of the Chicago platform , which was declared
to be "revolutionary and destructive of
democratic principles. " The candidates
were denounced , Mr. nryan as a populist
and Mr. Scwall ns n subsidized shipbuilder ,
n high protectionist. It contains a strong
presentation of the principles to enunciate
which the gathering wan called , namely :
The maintenance of on honest and stable
currency on a gold standard , a tariff for
revenue only , low taxation and expenditure ,
civil service reform ; the duty of the gov
ernment to protect the citizen and his
property from lawlessness , nnd an Inde
pendent and unlntlmldatcd Judiciary. The
condemnation of "special prlvlllgcs , " sump
tuary legislation , governmental favoritism ,
bounties and other forms of paternalism and
populism , and a hearty endorsement of the
national democratic administration. Every
mention of Cleveland or Carlisle during the
afternoon or evening was greeted with an
outburst of applause. On montlon of
Colonel Brccklnrldge , an amendment to the
platform was adopted , urging the nomina
tion of Governor S. B. Buckner for vice
president by the Indianapolis convention.
After speeches by Governor Buckner and
others the convention adjourned.
Just before adjournment a telegram from
United States Senator Lindsay was read , In
which ho expressed regret that Illness pre
vented his attendance at the convention ,
adding : "I feel sure that your convention
will declare for unadulterated democracy
with no concessions to republicanism on
the ono hand nor populism on the other
hand. "

form and ratifying the platform adopted b >

LINCOLN , Neb. , Aug. 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) To a representative of The Bee this
evening , Captain J. D. Woods , secretary of
the Lincoln Commercial club , related a
Bryan reminiscence that Is Interesting.
"Four years ago , next November , " said
Captain Woods , "I was county clerk of
Lancaster county. This was when William
Jimnlngs Bryan ran for his second term In
congress against Judge Allen W. Field. The
lay after the election Mr. Bryan came Into
my oltico nt the court house , and Inquired
liow I estimated the result of the congres
sional election. I had been receiving and
tabulating returns all the forenoon. I told
llr. Brjnn that In my opinion , judging from
returns so far received that Judge Field had
licaten him In the district by about 150
votes. Lancaster , I said , nod gone against
lilm some. 3&0 votes.
"Bryan then In the presence of several
witnesses laughed and said : 'It really doesn't
make any difference how the election has
KOIIO ; there U a democratic majority In the
liouso nnd It will seat mo any way. ' I said ,
"That Is not the way to talk. If you are
elected by one vote , you are entitled to your
seat , but If Judge Field has ono vote the
most , do you not wish to see him seated ? '
"Mr. Br > an laughed and repeated the
statement , that ho would bo seated anyway.
I then told him that If ho over ran again lor
congress I would follow him all over the
district and toll what ho had said to us ,
that morning. Ho then went out. but never
gain ran for congress. Ho beat Judge
Field by 140 plurality. I am ready at any
tlmo to make affidavit to this statement. "
Captain Woods Is president of the Farmer '
Mutual Insurance company of this city.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. At both the
democratic and populist headquarters , serl
ous alarm Is frit o er the situation In
Idaho , where the new * dispatches Indicate
that the democrats and populists are cffixit-
Ing a fusion which will leave out the silver
republicans. The managers at both head
quarters consider that this Is a violation
of the spirit of the free silver campaign
which seeks to combine all the silver forces
and they fear Its effect on the silver repub
licans of other western states , They be-
llevo the different forces should combine
on equitable and Just terms , and effect
a division such an was made In Minnesota
and Washington. Moreover they consider
that It would bo especially ungrateful In
Idaho because their -refusal to recognize the
silver republicans Involves the defeat of
Senator Dubols. The latter Is looked upon
by both the democratic and populist man
agers as one of the great central figures
In the bolt of the free silver republicans
from the republican party on the Issue. To
his Instrumentality , also , Is most largely
attributed the defeat of the tariff bill In
the senate except with a free silver rider ,
and to "turn him down" they believe would
send a chill through the leaders of the
silver republicans of the west. For this
reason It ls probable that both Chairman
Jones and Chairman Butler will make
c\i'ry effort to arrange some sort of on
adjustment In Idaho that will give due
recognition to the silver republicans.
Among the callers at democratic head
quarters today was Secretary Hoko Smith
who had a long conference with Chair
man Faulkner and Secretary Gardner.
The democratic committee will publish an
extract from the message of Grant sent
to congress January" 14 , 1S7G. announcclng
his approval of the act for the resumption
of specie payments. The object Is sup
posed to bo to show that President Grant
did not know that silver had been "demone
tized" by the act of 1873. The extract Is
ns follows :
"In fact to carry out the first section of
the act , another mint becomes necoasary.
With the present facilities for coinage It
would take a period probably beyond that
fixed by the law for final specie resumption
to coin the sliver necessary to transact the
business of the country.
"Thcro are now smelting furnaces for ex
trading silver and gold ores brought from
the mountainous territories In Chicago , St.
Louis and Omaha , and as much of tha change
required will bo wanted In the Mississippi
valley states , and as the metal to bo coined
comes from west of these states and as I
understand , the charges for transportation
of bullion from olther of the cities named to
the mint In Philadelphia or Now York
amount to $4 for each $1,000 worth , with an
equal expense for transportation back. It
would seem a fair argument In favor of
adopting one or more of these cities as the
place or places for the establishment of now
coinage facilities. "
At the request of Mr. Ernest Baldwin , first
auditor of the treasury who Is a resident of
Maryland , Hon. H. P. Bland will address
the people of Laurel tomorrow evening.
J. R. Sovereign , who Is to bo , with George
F. Washburne , In charge of the populist
committee In Chicago , has decided to or
ganize a bureau of labor In connection with
the campaign. Ho will engage a large
number of speakers and send them Into
doubtful states. Ten speakers have already
been secured and they nro In correspond
ence with others. He Intends to organize
western labor men In the Interest of silver.
Mr. Sovereign expects to move the head
quarters of the Knights of Labor to Chicago
during thu campaign and Its employes will
assist him.

eiiccn for .Morion ,
The state central committee of the sound
money wing of the democratic party held
meeting at the Mlllard hotel last evening.
There was practically a full representation
of the committee , and , In addition , a num
ber of prominent democrats from Omaha
and all parts of the state were called In
to participate In the proceedings. There
wcro In the neighborhood of 100 present ,
among them being noted Fred W. Vaughan
of Fremont , Carl Morton of Nebraska City ,
Tobias Castor of Lincoln , \V. II. Munger ol
Fremont , J. C. Crawford of West Point , D.
W. Cook of Beatrice , A. J. Sawyer of Lin

City , and Euclid Martin. J. N. H. Patrick ,
Uobort Patrick , James North , Dr. Miller ,
Low May , C. S. Montgomery , Judge E.
Wakclcy nnd George U. Prltchett of Omaha.
The meeting was held behind closed doors
and did not break up until well toward mid
night. When the members of the conference
came down stairs they one and all stated
that thcro had been prefect unanimity on
the question of sending a delegation to the
convention of sound money democrats at
Indianapolis , and when the question wati
put to a vote It was carried unanimously.
There was some little difference of opinion
expressed as to whether It was advlslblo to
put up a third ticket , but the generally ex
pressed opinion was In favor of that action.
The delegation which will go to Indlauapolls
will be free to act on that question , how
ever , as their best judgment will dictate
when they shall arrive there and have an
opportunity to confer with delegates from
other parts of the country.
The opinion was freely expressed by those
who were In attendance at the meeting ,
after It was over , that not-only would a
national ticket be nominated , but that In
all probability a full state ticket would
bo put In the field in Nebraska. This will
be a matter to be determined after the
meeting of tne Indianapolis convention ,
however.
It was stated that the presidential pref
erence of neither the delegates selected nor
of those present In the meeting was dls
cused , and that they would go to Indian
apolls perfectly free to act as the situation
there should warrant , ' but that any sound
money democrat of ability and standing
would be satisfactory to the Nebraska men.
They denied that the delegation from this
state would present the name of J. Sterling
Morton , but from the opinions expressed
by many of them when questioned it was
plain to bo seen that they would like to
see the Nebraska man honored , though they
would not admit they had authority to-pry-
sent his name or that it was the intention
to urge his candidacy.
The following were selected to represent
this state In the Indianapolis convention :
Euclid Martin , Omaha ; S , G. Glover , Arling
ton ; J. C. Crawford , West Point ; O. N. Baer ,
Geneva ; D. P. Uolfe. Nebraska City ; Albert
Watklns , Lincoln ; C. S. Montgomery , Omaha ;
H. W. Patrick , Omaha ; P. W. Vaughan ,
Fremont ; U. P. McMullIn , Ponca ; George
P. Marvin , Beatrice ; Frank E. White. Ash
land ; J. I. Ilhca , Holdrege ; R. S. Proudllt
Guide Kock ; J. I Leas , Chadron , and J. P.
Crocker , Kearney.
It Is stated that all of the delegates se
lected have pledged themselves to go , In
order that Nebraska may have a full rep
resentation , as no provision has been made
for alternates.
It will also bo noted that among the dele
gates arc a number who have been among
the most intimate personal and political
friends of the secretary of agriculture
which would tend to strengthen the belief
that It was at least among the possibilities
that Mr. Morton's name would be presented
for the presidential nomination.

BOISE , Idaho , Aug. 20. A fusion of pop
ulists and democrats was accomplished to
night by the populists accepting the demo
cratic proposition. The democrats got the
presidential electors , supreme Judge , gov
ernor , attorney general , treasurer and mine
inspector. The populists have the United
States senator , congressman , lieutenant gov
ernor , secretary of state , auditor and su
perintendent of public Instruction. The con
vention then adjourned until tomorrow
morning. P. A. Regan of liolso , is believed
to bo In the lead for governor and Captain
James Gunn Is conceded for congresman.
The third day of the conventions was
devoted entirely to discussion of the pro
posed fusion , The Joint conference was In
session until a late hour last night without
coming to any agreement. Today the con
ventions met in secret session to receive
reports. The dcmocrta insisted on leaving
the matter of senatorshlp open , but at this
morning's session they Instructed their com
mittee to agree to support a populist candi
date for senator. This , however , did not
settle the matter. In this state the prin
cipal affairs of government are managed
by boards , the principals of which arc com
posed of the governor , attorney general and
secretary of state. Populists claim to be
numerically stronger than democrats and
entitled to control these boards. This the
democrats resist , demanding both governor
and attorney general. On this point they
were deadlocked for some hours.

UPPER RED HOOK , N. Y. , Aug. 20.
Mr. llryan himself smiled thh morning
anJ said : "I am irot bothering about Now
York democrats. Everything will bo all
right. " Late last aiWH Mr. Elliott Dan-
forth , of the New York organization , vIMtcd
Mr. Bryan ! It Is proposed that Mr. llryan
visit Albany , and Mr."nryan ' has been In
vited to meet a number of democrats nl
Winlcsook lodge In the CatskllU , presided
'
over by Chairman' Hlnkley of the demo
cratic Btate committee. These significant
facts nro coiti'led ' with tlic arrangement
today of a new western Itinerary that In
cludes several points Ju Ken * York state.
This now Itinerary Includes , after the Erie
speech on the 20th1 , these points : Speak In
Buffalo the evening , of the 27th , and In
Medina , N. Y. , the afternoon of the 2Stb ,
spending the evening at Niagara Falls.
Ho to Horncllsvlllo bv way of Buffalo on
the 29th , Saturday , and speak In Hornclls
vlllo In the afternoon. Then co to James
town In the evening and direct to Chau
tauqtm where Sunday will be spent. On
Monday , August 31 , Mr. Bryan will go
direct to Cleveland , where ho will speak
In the evening. Tuesday ho will go to
Columbus , O. . speaking there the evening of
the 1st of September , and at Toledo on
the 2d. The evening of the 3d ho will
speak In South Ucnd. Ind. , and September
4 will be spent In Chicago nt the national
headquarters.
Mr. Bryan docs not expect to spenk In
Qhlcago. The morning of the Dth Mr.
Hryan will leave for Nebraska over the
llurllngton road , malting no stops. He
says his speeches in all the places men
tloncd will bo very brief.
Late last evening when V. Elliott Dan
forth of New York called to see Mr. Bryan
nnd waited some two hours for him to re
turn from a day's outing , he snld It was
a friendly call and Mr , Bryan reiterated
It ; but as Upper Hcd Honk Is some eight
miles from a small station where there
are few trains , and as Mr. Dnnforth saw
Mr. Hryan In New York six days ago , con
clusions are rather Inevitable that the
visit had some political significance.
Mr. Dantorth , when asked the question
of state support of Mr. llryan by the demo
cratic party , said tersely : "The demo
crats of New York will support him , 1
have no doubt , but the actho work will
not begin until our convention incuts nt
Huffalo. "
The second nurplso came this morning
when a son of Chairman Illnkloy came here
with an urgent personal letter from his
father Inviting Mr. Bryan to. visit the
camp In the Catskllls , where are gathered
a number of prominent democrats. When
the messenger had gone Mr. Bryan said
that ho had practically decided to accept
the Invitation and would spend a night
over there bsfore leaving for the west.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. The executive
committee of the populist party has ad
journed subject to the call of the chairman.
It has accomplished all that could be
done at the present time In arranging for
headquarters here and branch headquarters
In Chicago. It was decided that O. R.
Sovereign should be assigned to the Chicago
headquarters , which will be under the man
agement of Mr. Washburn of Massachusetts.
Chairman Butler , of cpu.rso. will be In charge
hero and will glv6 his whole attention to
the campaign. Mr.Butler will bo as
sisted by Secretary E.dgertoli , who will be
hero during most of the campaign. C. D.
Pertlo , chief of the senate document room ,
will be In clmrgoi of the sending out of
documents.
Mr. Butler said today that the class of
literature which was sent out had not yet
been decided upon.n As far as possible doc
uments which can bo franked will bo sent
out. These include speeches by populists in
congress and some "or Tom Watson's will be
among the number selected. Some of the
literature being sept out by the democratic
committee and also by the silver committee
will be distributed. '
Chairman Butler said this morning that
the committee was of Bourse embarrassed
for want of funds and Secretary Edgerton
said that the committee must rely upon
voluntary subscriptions as much as pos
Bible. "Wo have chipped In , " said Chair
man Butler , "to pay our expenses thus far.
Wo have no rich men to make large con
tributions for campaign expenses. Wo will
have to make a campaign like others we
have made In the south , where wo have
managed with little money. "
Chairman Butler will enter Into corre
spondence with populist leaders and with
free silver leaders in various parts of the
country at once and endeavor to effect an
adjjstmcnt of all existing dlfllculties which
will bring the supporters of sliver and Bryan
Into harmonious action.
The silver party and the populist party
are today moving Into headquarters with the
democratic party in the Wormley building.
The rooms to bo occupied by the silver men
and the populists are being put In order for
their occupation. Vice Chairman Stevens
of the sliver party said today that silver
branch headquarters in Chicago would be
every bit as Important as the headquarters
In Washington and would have charge of
the campaign In the western states.

PIERRE , S. I ) . , Aug. 20. ( Special. )
The legislature last winter , on the rccom
mcndatlon of Land Commissioner Ituth ,
passed a bill requiring that whenever any
lands on which there bavo been loans of the
state educational fund , are In default , the
land shall be bid In In the name of the state
of South Dakota. Prior to that time , lands
In default wcro to bo bid In In the name of
the county In which the loan had been made
This change might be all right In case the
original act for the Investment of the per
mancnt fund had been further amended to
place all loans on laud subject to approval
by the land commissioner , or his agent
As the law stands at present , the board of
county commissioners pass upon a loan , anil
In case of default the state takes the land
for the claim. The vicious phase of the
law as It no\v stands Is that many counties
In the more sparsely settled portions of
the state assess their lands at from three
to four times the amount they would sell
for , nt the best possible bargain which could
bo secured. The law providing tor Invest
ment of the fund allows loans to bo inado
up to onc-lialf the assessed price of the land ,
and where commissioners are working for
favors they might bo Induced to loan to
favorites , the full limit on assessed value
which would bo far above true value , anil
when the land was forced upon the stnto
by default , thcroould be ft loss. Hcforo
the change , If tin ) county bid In the tract ,
the loss If any would bo to the county , and
not to the fund.
While there have yet been no foreclosures ,
and the different counties are keeping up
their Interest to the state , some of them
arc doing It out of their general funds , the
borrowers being In arrears to the counties ,
and there Is nt any time an emergency sale
likely to arise. Of course , in cast ) there
should bo any loss to the fund In this manner
nor , the state would bo compelled to make
It good from the general fund , but that
would be nn Injustice to compel counties
which were doing the fair thing. In the way
of loans to make up losses In counties whore
the loans had been manipulated. While
under the old system wherever the counties
did not act squarely , they wcro compelled
to make up the loss themselves.

the actual lex must be trained to believe
his employment Is a public duty , primarily
to his God and country , not merely an avocation
cation for the acquirement of wealth and
honor , and that his functions as a lawyer
or Judge are to be performed for the pro
motion of truth and right , and for the de
feat of falsehood and wrong.
"Second The lawyer should bavo liberal
culture.
"Tblrd As law Is an historic science , the
student must bo taught and should learn
the history of legal science , and ho should
be taught and learn comparative Jurlspru-
; < rice , thus broadening his views of his own
by comparison with others , and avoiding the
narrowness and error whlcb comes from a
too exclusive consideration of Ills own local
policy.
"Fourth Constitutional law Is n special
theme for the lawyer of the United States ,
for on the Integrity and supremacy of these
constitutions over men and states , and gov
ernments , state and federal , depend the per
petuity of our union and the security of our
liberties as men.
"How long shall ho study ? I concede
: lirco years Is better than two , and two
; han ono. Admit ono year , two years Is too
short a period for such a course , nay , I
would prefer four or five years to three. "
Ho closed by saying that while urging
a longer course of study than one year , ef-
'orts should bo made to lay a foundation of
egal principles , b.tsed on moral truth and
oadlng rases , such as put the student In
H condition for such self-training for llfo
and Insure to him the eminent ability that
will lit him for the most exalted duties of
ils great calling. Such training , ho said ,
'had made the great judges from Marshall
o Brewer , and from Sir Edward Coke to
Lord Russell. "

more , was read by Judge Gager of the
Yale law school. The aubjcctl of Prof.
Emmott's paper was "Legal Education lit
England. " Both nt Oxford and Cambridge ,
ho said , the study of the Roman law occu
pied a moat important and leading posi
tion nnd at Cambridge no ono can take a
degree In law , nor nt Oxford can ono take *
a place In the final honor examination
In the school of jurisprudence or obtalu
the degree of U. C. L. without a knowl
edge of Its history and principles and an
acquaintance with at least some portion of
the Digest of JiiHtlnlan. The effect of this
training * upo'n ' successive ! generations of
English lawyers , In Prof. Emmett's opin
ion , was Impossible to overestimate , and
lie thought that thcro was no more en
couraging sign in iconneollon with the
present position of legal education on both
sides of the Atlantic than the firm and
assured position which the study of the
Hainan law now enjoys , not only In the
great unlvursltles of England and Scotland ,
but also In several of the universities In
the United States. Concluding , ho said :
"If wo can show that the study of law ,
when rightly pursued , Is liberalizing and
not a purely technical study wo shall In
that way have done a service not only to
the profession to which wo are allowed to
belong , but also to society at largo.
Reforo the section of legal education tbla
afternoon , papers were read by Prof , James
Colby of Dartmouth college and Prof ,
Gcorgo II. Emmett of John Hopkins uni
versity. A discussion followed and was en
gaged In by Sir Trunk Lockwood and Mon-
tuguo Crackcnthorpo of England , Attorney
General Harmon of Washington and G cargo
M. Slmrp of Baltimore.
E , J , Phclps of Vermont was elected
chairman and G. M. Slmrpo secretary of
this section for the ensuing year.
At this evening's session of the city bar
association , Montnguo Crackrnthorpo read
a very ft bio paper on the "Use of Legal
History. "
Following the address , reports of special
