LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Aug. 20. Kentucky
democrat * who are not In sympathy with
the Chicago platform raised their standard
today and the llourhon state will lead the
procession to Indianapolis , The convention
contained Borne 300 delegates. On the stage
were many of the men who have fought
democracy's battles In the state for n
( ] uartcr of n century. Two sessions were
licld. In the afternoon a temporary or
ganization was effected , the stnto selections
of the various districts for committees nnd
electors wore presented , and an address
was delivered by Colonel W. C. P. Ilreck-
inrldgc. The eloquent colonel's reappear-
once Into public life was the occasion tor
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 Hryan
and Scwall , whose election , ho declared ,
would bo the greatest calamity that
could befall the people of the country.
Chairman George M. Davis made a brief
npcech In calling the convention to order.

chairman , also spoke briefly In a humorous
vein. After the various committees had been
named nomination1) ) for electors were made
and a full list of delegates to the In
dianapolis convention was elected. A re
cess was then tnk n until evening.
About the same sized crowd as In the

o'clock. The following dclcgatcs-at-large
to the Indianapolis convention were chosen :
Governor S. I ) . Jluchncr. A. J. Carroll , W. C.
1' . llrccklnrldKC and William K. Ilrowder.
The platform which was unanimously
adopted aroused frequent outbursts of
enthusiasm. It was a severe arraignment
of the Chicago platform , which was declared
to bo "revolutionary nnd destructive of
democratic principles. " The candidates
were denounced. Mr. Dryati as a populist
and Mr. Scwall as a subsidized shipbuilder ,
a high protectionist. It contains a strong
presentation of the principles to enunciate
which the gathering was called , namely :
The maintenance of an honest and stable
currency on n gold standard , a tariff fet
revenue only , low taxation nnd 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 prlvlllges , " sump
tuary legislation , governmt-ntal favoritism ,
bounties and other forms of paternalism and
populism , and n hearty endorsement of the
national democratic administration. Kvery
mention of Cleveland or Carlisle during the
afternoon or evening was greeted with an
outburst of applause. On mention of
Colonel Dreckllirldge , nn amendment to the
platform was adopted , urging the nomina
tion of Governor S. n. lluckncr for vice
president by the Indianapolis convention.
After speeches by Governor lluckncr and
others the convention adjourned.
Just before adjournment a telegram from
Unltfcd 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 one hand nor populism on the other
hand. "

LINCOLN , Neb. , Aug. 20. ( Special Tele

evening , Captain J. D. Woods , secretary o
the Lincoln Commercial club , related i
"Bryan reminiscence that Is Interesting.
"Four years ago , next November , " said
Captain Woods , "I was county clerk o
Lancaster county. This was when William
Jennings Bryan ran for bis second term In
congress against Judge Allen W. Field. Th
tlay after the election Mr. Uryan came Into
my olllco at the court house , and Inquire !
liow I estimated the result of the congrcs
elonal election. I had been receiving am
tabulating returns all the forenoon. I toh
llr. Uryan that In my opinion , judging from
returns so far received that Judge Field hat
beaten him In the district by about 15
votes. Lancaster , I said , had gene agalns
lilin some. 350 votes.
"Hryan then In the presence of scvcr.i
vltnesses laughed and said : 'It really doesn'
make any difference ) how the election ha
Kone ; there Is democratic majority In th
lioiise and It will scat me any way.1 I saM
That Is not the way to talk. If you nr
elected by ono vote , yon arc entitled to you
Beat , but If Judge Field has one vote th
most , do you not wish to see him seated ? '
"Mr. Dryan laughed and repeated th
statement , that ho would bo seated anyway
I then told him that If ho over ran again fo
congress I would follow him all over th
district and toll what ho had said to us
that morning. Ho then went out , but neve
again ran for congress. Ho beat Judg
Field by 140 plurality. I am ready at nnv
time to make affidavit to this statement. " '

WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. At both the
cmocratlc nnd populist headquarters , serl
us alarm Is felt orcr the situation In
daho , where the news dispatches Indicate-
hat the democrats and populists nro eftoct-
ng a fusion which will Icavo out the silver
cpubllcans. The managers at both head
iuarters consider that this Is a violation
f the spirit of the free silver campaign
vhlch seeks to combine nil Ihe silver forces
nd Ihey fear Us effect on the silver rcpub-
Icnns of other western states. They be-
levo the different forces should combine
jn equitable nnd Just termsami , effect
a division such ns was made in Minnesota
ind Washington. Moreover they consider
hat It would bo especially ungrateful In
daho because their refusal to recognize the
liver republicans Involves the defeat of
Senator Dubols. The latter Is looked upon
> y both the democratic and populist man
.gers as one of the great central figures
n the bolt of the free silver republicans
rotn the republican party on the Issue. To
da Instrumentality , also , Is most largely
attributed the defeat of the tariff bill In
ho Bcnale except with a free silver rider ,
and to "turn him down" they believe would
end a chill through the leaders of the
_ llviT republicans of the west. For this
reason It Is probable that both Chairman
tones nnd Chairman nutlcr will make
every effort to arrange some sort of an
adjustment In Idaho that will glvo 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
nan Kaulkncr and Secretary Gardner.
The democratic committee wltl publish nn
extract from the message of Grant sent
to congress Janunrj' 14 , 1S75 , announcclng
ils approval of the act for the resumption
of specie payments. The object Is sup-
> oscd to bo to show that President Grant
did not know that silver had been "demone
tized" by the act of ISIS. The extract Is
as follows :
"In fact to carry out the first section of
.ho act. another mint becomes necessary.
With the present facilities for coinage It
would take a period probably beyond that
fixed by the low for final specie resumption
: o coin the silver necessary to transact the
business of the country.
"There are now smelting furnaces for ex
tracting silver nnd gold ores brought from
ihe mountainous territories In Chicago , St.
,011 Is and Omaha , and as much of tha change
required will bo wanted in the Mississippi
valley states , and as the metal to be coined
comes from west of these states and as I
understand , the charges for transportation
of bullion from either 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 moro of these cities as the
ilace or places for the establishment of new
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. It. Sovereign , who Is to bo , with George
P. 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 thorn Into
doubtful states. Ten speakers have already
been secured and they are 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 the campaign and its employes will
assist him.

enceH fur Morton.
The state central committee of the sound
noiicy wing of the democratic party held a
meeting at the Mlllnrd hotel last evening.
There was practically a full representation
of the committee , and , In addition , a num-
> cr of prominent democrats from Omaha
and all parts of the state were called In
to participate In the proceedings. There
were In the neighborhood of 100 present ,
among them being noted Fred \V. Vaughnn
of Fremont , Carl Morton of Nebraska City ,
Tobias Castor of Lincoln , W. H. Mungcr of
Fremont , J. C. Crawford of West Point , D.
W. Cook of Beatrice , A. J. Sawyer of Lin
coln. Frank White of Ashland , J. F. Brad-
shaw of Superior , H. J. Whltmoro of Lln-
oln , George 13. Baer of Geneva , Albert Watkins -
kins of Lincoln , D. P. Holf of Nebraska
City , and Euclid Martin. J. N. H. Patrick ,
llobert Patrick , James North , Dr. Miller ,
Lew May , C. S. Montgomery , Judge E.
Wakclcy nnd George 13. 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 clown stairs they ono nnd nil staled
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 was
put to a vote It was carried unanimously.
There was some little difference of opinion
expressed as to whether It was ndvlslble 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 bo free to act on that question , how
ever , ns 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 nt 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
jo put In the Held In Nebraska. This will
[ ) c a matter to be determined after the
meeting of the Indianapolis convention ,
however.
It was stated that the presidential pref
erence of neither the delegates selected nor
of those present In the meeting was dis
eased , and that they would go to Indian
apolis 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'pre
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 ; G. N. Baer ,
Geneva ; D. P. Ilolfe , Nebraska City ; Albqrt
Watklns , Lincoln ; C. S. Montgomery. Omaha ;
R. W. Patrick. Omaha ; F. W. Vaughan ,
Fremont ; U. P. McMullln. Ponca ; George
P. Marvin , Beatrice ; Frank E. White , Ash
land ; J. I. Hhca. Holdrege ; H. S. Proudlit ,
Guide Bock ; J. I Leas , Chadron , and J. F.
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 be noted that among the dele
gates are a number who have been among
the most Intimate personal nnd 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
ullsts and democrats was accomplished to
night by the populists accepting the demo
cratlc 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
perlntendent of public instruction. The con
vcntlon then adjourned until tomorrow
morning. P. A. Began of Boise , Is believe *
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 wlthou
coming to any agreement. Today the con
vcntlons met In secret session to receive
reports. The democrts Insisted on leaving
the matter of scnatorship open , but at this
morning's session they Instructed their com
mltteo to agrco to support a populist candt
date for senator. This , however , did no
settle the matter. In this state the prln
clpal affairs of government are managed
by boards , the principals of which arc com
posed of the governor , attorney general am
secretary of state. Populists claim to b
numerically stronger than democrats am
entitled to control these boards. This the
democrats resist , demanding both governo
and attorney general. On this point they
were deadlocked for some hours.

Mr. Rrynn himself smiled this morning
nd said : "I nm ifot bothering about Now
fork democrats. Everything will bo nil
Iglit. " Late last oiteUt Mr. Elliott Dan-
orth , of thr New York i organization , r lulled
Mr. Ilryan ; It Is proposed that Mr. Hryan
Islt Albany , anil .Mrv"llryan has been In-
. lied to moot a number of democrats nt
Wlnlcsook lodge In ' Ihe Catskllla , presided
over by Chairman' lllnkley of the demo
cratic state committee. These significant
'acts ' nro coupled with the arrangement
.oday of a new western Itinerary that In
cludes several points Jn New York stale.
This now Itinerary Includes , after the Erie
speech on the SCtW , tli se points ; Speak In
luftnlo the evening , p the 87th , and In
Medina. N. Y. , the Afternoon of the 28th ,
ipondlng the evening at Niagara Falls.
! o to Hornellsvlllo b\- way of Uuftalo on
.he 20th , Saturday , and speak In Hornells
vlllo In the afternoon. Then co to James-
, own In the evening and direct to Cliau-
tntiqua where Sunday will bo spent. On
Monday , August 31 , Mr. Bryan will go
llrcct to Cleveland , wucro ho will speak
In the evening. Tuesday ho will go to
Columbus , 0. , speaking thcro the evening of
the 1st of September , nnd nt Toledo on
the 2d. The evening of the 3d ho will
speak In South Bend , Intl. . nnd September
4 will bo spent In Chicago nt the national
icadquarters. ,
Mr. Uryan does not expect to speak In
CJblcago. The morning of the Gth Sir.
Hryan will leave for Nebraska over the
llurllngton road , making no stops. He
says his speeches In nil the places men
tioned will bo very brief.
Late last evening when V. Elliott Dan-
forth of Now York called to see Mr. Hryan
nnd wnlted some two hours for him to re
turn from n day's outing , he snld It was
a friendly call and Mr. Hryan reiterated
It ; but as Upper Hcd Hook Is some eight
miles from a small station where there
nro few trains , and as Mr. Danforth saw
Mr. Bryan In New York six days ago , con
clusions arc rather Inevitable that the
visit had Bomo political significance.
Mr. Dantorth , when asked the iiucstlon
of state support of Mr. Hryan by the demo
cratic party , said tersely : "Tho demo
crats of New York will support him , I
have no doubt , but the nctlvu work will
not begin until our convention meets nt
Buffalo. "
The second surplsc came this morning
when a son of Chairman lllnkley came herewith
with an urgent personal letter from his
father Inviting Mr. Bryan to , visit the
camp In the Catskllls , where arc gathered
n number of prominent democrats. When
the messenger had gene Mr. Bryan said
that ho had practically decided to accept
the Invitation and would spend a night
over there before leaving for the west.

Tor the claim. The vicious phase of the
law as it now stands Is that many counties
in the more sparsely settled portions of
: ho state assess their lands nt from three
to four times the amount they would sell
for , nt the best possible bargain which could
bo secured. The law providing for Invest
ment of the fund nllous loans to bo made
up to one-half the assessed prlco of the land ,
and where commissioners are working for
'avors they might bo Induced to loan to
favorites , the full limit on assessed value
which would be far above true value , and
when the land was forced upon the stnto
Ijy default , thcro would be a loss. Dcforo
the change , If the county bid In the tract ,
the loss If any would be to the county , and
not to the fund.
While there have yet been no foreclosures ,
and the different counties nre keeping up
their interest to the state , some of them
nro doing it out of their general funds , the
borrowers being in nnears to the counties ,
and there Is nt any tlmo an emergency sale
likely to arise. Of course , lu casn there
should ho any loss to the fund In this man
ner , the state would bo compelled to make
It good from the general fund , but that
would be an Injustice to compel counties
which were doing the fair thing. In the way
of loans to make up losses In counties where
the loans had been manipulated. Whllo
under the old system wherever the counties
did not act squarely , they were compelled
to make up the loss themselves.

"Second The lawyer should have liberal

"Third As law Is an historic science , the
student must bo taught and should learn
the history of legal science , and he should

narrowness and error which comes from a
too exclusive consideration of his own local
policy.

he thought that there was no more en

assured position which the study of tha
Itoman law now enjoys , not only In the
great unlvorHltlcH of England and Scotland ,
but also In several of the universities la
the United Slates. Concluding , he said :
"If we con show that the Rtudy of law.
when rightly pursued , is liberalizing and
not a purely technical study wo shall In
tlmt way have done n service not only to
the profession to which wo are allowed to
belong , but also to society at largo ,
