" During the recent excitement business was in a comparatively few hands. Speculation both In England and America was carried beyond reasonable bounds. American opera tions were decidedly intemperate and ex cessive , but In the market , the opinion Is praltlvo that at least a portion of the rise w.ll be retained and that the era of law prircs Is for the time ended.

Knulcrn Dunkx Drnrr Itenvilr frnm HIP I'll o I lie Count. DAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 27. The subtreas- ury has just pulled through a rather serious run , which threatened to annihilate Its gold reserve and leave It without a dollar with which to redeem the perfect avalanche of greenbacks that poured In over the counter. Timely aid came from Chicago and other sources , and when the outpouring of gold finally stopped the m.COO.WO of a few months ago. despite the frequent additions that have been made during that period , wan reduced to a bare J4.000.000. For once the nubtreasury had on hand more greenbacks than It wanted. In two weeks time JIO.000,000 worth of them wer > dumped over the counters and the gold they represented withdrawn. There waa some thing like $7.000.000 In gold In the vaults when the run commenced. Chicago was ap pealed to for aid and sent { 4.000.000. and an equally large amount was secured from the mint , while the Jt.500.000 In British sovereigns eigns recently received from Australia were coined Into douQIe eagles at the mint and carted to the subtreasury. Only J4.000.000 of the entire amount , was left after the flurry WCH over. That has since been In creased by the deposit of over Jl.000.000 , for which greenbacks have been withdrawn , and there Is every Indication that the flurry Is over. Much of the gold withdrawn went beyond the mountains. The subtreastirle * here and at New York are the only ones authorized to redeem greenbacks. Nsually the de mand for greenbacks la steady at the sub- treasury here , as exchange la almost In variably In favor of New York , anil It costs less to ship greenbacks than gold. SYDNEY. N. S. W. .

I abandoned the populist party In this campaign , becatuo its leaders have be trayed It Into the handa of its enemies , sold It to the democracy and I will not be made Into a democrat. I loved the populist party and I love ll principles yet. I believe In Its shibboleth , 'equal rights to all and special privileges to ncne. ' but I don't believe In democracy , and I won't be made Into a democrat and I won't let any set of politi cal bargain makers trade or sell me In my vote as If I was a dumb ox. " Mr. Elder was asked for his experience with populism and why he joined the party yara ago. In reply to this he said : "I was one of the first to espouse Its cavsc In tnls st tc. I stood by It when It was weak and unpopular , when I might have made my In dividual peace with lu enemies. Hut the history In this state has been ono of re peated betrayal and Insults heaped upon It by the democracy , and now. In Its national campaign it Is bound hand and foot , deliv ered Into the tolls of the southern democracy , which seeks Its complete destruction anil which. I believe , expects this and no other result In this election. "In ISaO we elected a populist governor In i this state , but the democrats , who were our I pretended allies and should have stood by ' us deserted us at the critical moment and eagerly assisted In defrauding us of out- rights. " "But you were elected speaker , Mr. Elder , that year. " OPPOSE THE PRETENSE AT FUSION. "That makes no difference. I don't count my own iutcrent in this matter. I simply say this , that I am a populist , and not a democrat , and now when the leaders In this fusion , which Is not a real , but only a pre tended fusion , when I aia disfranchised an a populist and must vote either the demo cratic or republican ticket , then I turu tu the party in which I wss born , and If It Isn't as good is It wa then It is infinitely : -i fL'.iunnr td this new democracy , which Is Infinitely worse than the ol'd. " ' "Why do you say that populists are dis franchised In this state this year ? " "Because it Is true. Of the eight electors on this fusion ticket not one Is a friend to the populist candidate for vice president , and whatever they may say of Watson , ho la the populist representative and the only sign rcmnlnlns of populism as a national party. Now look here , " continued the speaker , as be jerked the stumpy arm In hla empty sleeve and manifested the nervous energy which has always characterized hlai In the many struggles which his party has had In this state , "thla fusion la a fraud In this state and the whole thing has been s. deception and a trick , from the manipula tion of the St. Louis convention by the dem ocrats on through the manipulation of all the conventions In all the states where this alleged fusion has been put up. It la no secret. It Is known all over the state that Senator Allen Is In the deal , that he and Bryan are against Watson , and wherever the name of our populist representative Is spoken. It Is spit upon and sneered at by these democrats and the four electors who represent the democratic side of the fusion have made no concealment of their hostil ity to Watson and populism. Mr. Palm , one of these fusion-democratic electors , open ly boasts here In Lincoln that he will never vote for Wataon under any circumstances , that ho was put on the ticket with that understanding , and that the three other democrats are In the same position , and have an understanding between each other to that effect. "Mr. Plascekl , another of these democratic electors , recently In the postofficc of hla homo town , St. Paul , declared that Watson cut no figure In this contest , that ho would get no votes from Nebraska , and that he deserved no recognition because hlu party waa practically dead and burled. Fred Metz of Omaha , another of these fusion electors , denounces Watson and declares that he has not now and never had any sympathy with populism. The four populist electors have also been hostile to Watson from the very moment of their nomination and the truth Is that populism haa no friend on that ticket. NO POPULISM IN IT. "Now. why ahould I vote for It ? Why should I allow the wool to be pulled over my oyea and be made a part of the demo cratic party when I am not a democrat and never Intend to be ? "There is no populism In this fight. It Is a contest to save the democratic party If Possible , but to destroy the populist party at all hazards. The election of Bryan would not be a populist victor } ' , but a surrender and a complete annihilation of it. I don't want to surrender. I want to fight. But If I must surrender , I will surrender to U S. Grant , but never to Robert E. Lee. There Is a profound conviction In the whole pub lic mind of this country that this fusion Is a trick. It means death to the party which was organized by the farmers of this state eight years ago. aa a protest against tricks and bargains In politics. If dishon esty In politics wsa wrong then it Is wrong now. and If I must submit my conscience and my vote to the manipulation of politi cians I will never put my neck under the democratic yoke , but will bow my head to the control of the mother party which I learned to love when I was a boy. " Mr. Elder says that the sentiments which he expresses are taking root In the minds of thousands of honest populists In this state who will not allow their principles to' be raado Info a door mat upon which the southern dominating democrat can wluo his feet.

Returns by bulletin will also be read at N street headquarters for the republicans , and at Bohanan's hall and Lincoln hotel by the free silver people. The managers of the populist county cam paign do not take very kindly to Chairman Stephenson's prediction that McKlnley will carry Lancaster county by 2,000. George W. BlaUo and C. W. Hoxle , who have been In charge of many hard-fought populist campaigns , were emphatic today In saying that Bryan would carry the county by a small majority , but they based thla simply on their Judgment , while Mr. Stephcnson'a is based upon the poll of the county. The largest and most enthusiastic politi cal demonstration ever held in any town in Lancaster county outside of Lincoln , oc curred at Hlckman last night. There were 600 marchers in the parade. The speakers were J. M. Greene of Chicago , T. P. Ken- nard , T. M. Wlmberly and A. R. Talbot of Lincoln. The visitors were given a flno supper by thu ladles.

( Special Tele gram. ) The republican state central com mittee publicly announces tonight that the third and last poll of the state is now com pleted and revised. The committee two months ago to bo conservative estimated that 25 per cent ot the vote classified as doubt ful ou the flntt poll T > f the state would fall In line for the republican ticket. The cor rected poll shows that more than 50 per cent cf this doubtful vote haa come to the republican side. Conceding the opposition all the remaining doubtful vote , of which tbo republican.- ! will probably receive fully 50 per cent , 'the corrected poll shows that the state will go for McKlnley and the re publican ticket by nut less than 12,000 to 15.000 majority , with fair prospects that it will excr.ed this ontlraaitc. The republican * ! have gained hundreds of converts during thu last ft"v days. The polls from Uio Black Hills ountles show that five of < tha six counties are ure to give republican majori ties , and th.U Me.id , < thi > only doubtful county , is more than likely to a bow up In the republican column. Ot the counties that hnv been considered close the committee now claims Drown. Don , Brooklngs , Clark , ftplnk , Rptter , Mlnno- luha , Yitnkton and Clay an absolutely suro. Lake , I.1iivl : n and Miner are also regarded as safe , and the chances are more than even that Aurora , Jerauld and Sanborn will Una up under Lha McKlnley banner on No vember 2. The committee claims th.it there ia not a shadow of doubt that the republicans will hav a good working majority in the legis lature , and believes that of the total mem bership of 120 the republicans will cluct not less than ninety-one members.

U" hearty approval which punctuated the ad- drosses. It broke out again when T. J" Mahoney - honey stepped forward to call the meeting to order and repeated Itselt at frequent In tervals throughout the evening. It was recognized by Mr. Mahoney , who said that they accepted the sprit of the great audl- encH as an Indication of the love of the people for free speech , fair play and true democracy. The true democracy was not a name , not an organl = tfon. not a committee , not a set of candidates or a railroad to otficc. but the pursuit of government of the people , for the people and by the people. The democratic party as founded by Jeffer son still lived and would live on , and be lieving this they were keeping before the American people an organization that should perpetuate the true democracy of thla country. "We have hure , " continued Mr. Mahauey , "our candidates for presi dent and vice president of the United States and our candidate far governor of our state. We bespeak for them that courteous hearing that best becomes nn Omaha audi ence and we believe that when you 'go to the polls to perform your duty , as electors you will not forget the truths that you will hear tonight. " General John M. Palmer waa Introduced as the first speaker and ho rose amidst a veritable tempest of cheers and hand- clappings. He spoke for about an hour and said among other things : "If nothing else was accomplished by the Indianapolis con vention the American democracy will have a hearing before the pocplo ofthe United States. Our mission IB first to arouse them to a sense ot their personal responsibility. We ask them to consider the responsibility that rests on them as participants In tram- Ingtho government of this country. Eich elector ia a unit In tbU matter and cannot escape his responsibility. BETRAYED THEPARTY. . "We are the candidates of the only na tional convention of the democratic party that has be-m hold in 1S96. The Chicago convention , calling lUolf a democratic con vention , betrayed the party. It did not re- alllrm democratic principles. It did seek to tncorpora-tc Into the platform of democracy four distinct heresies. The party suffered reverses in 1S94 and like all defeated parties It became demoralized. Itn leaders sought some now means by which they might con trol American santlment. They were not content with the ancient faith ot the party , but imparted heresies which the democratic party never accepted and which It now re fuses to accept. The Indianapolis conven tion waa a protest agalnat these heresies. It was composed of men who put principle above party success or personal emolu ment. " The speaker proceeded to discuss the ( our heresies of the Chicago platform In order. The first was tlm denial In substance of the right of the United States government to enforce the federal laws. "Tho democratic party had always recagulzwl the complete separation cf federal and state powers. It had hold that It was the right of the state to perform Its own functions and It was tha right of the government to enforce Its laws by Its own agency. They could not see how when the system waa controlled by patriotic men one could be brought Into collision with the other. "Tho saccnd heresy was that which denied or sought to limit the jurisdiction ot the courts. This waa directed primarily at tbo ( edur.il courts , but thu state courts had es sentially similar jurisdiction and the real purpose of this action was to excite hostility to all judicial tribunals nnd to curtail their right to control lawleasnvsn and crime. "The third count In the Indictment was thu plank which Interfered with the right of the state or the individual to make a contract as It saw fit , by declaring that no contract should bo made that wo payable In gold ; and thn fourth was that which de clared In favor of the tre and unlimited cnlnago of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. This last was borrowed from last year's pop ulist platform. H never WHS democratic until thu Chicago convention declared it to bti democracy. Thu Indianapolis convention wan a protest against the right of any convention , however called , to Interpolate such a dangerous , irtluiraus and ruinous doctrine Into the democratic platform. " NOT THAT KIND OF A DEMOCRAT. General Palmer vlgurausly arraigned thee 'iemocraU ' who were supporting Bryan al though they believed that his principles were dangerous to the country. Hu declaru.1 that a man need nut accept meanurea that ho believed would bring Infinite mltury on his country and dlsrngard all bis Ideas of right and duty to be t democrat. "I bad uup- poiud , " he said , "that tbo democratic party , of all purtlfsfl , was tha advoc&to of liberty and equality nbova all things. Yet men will lubmlt to thta thing In order to * continue In the family of dcniurruta. 1 would not be that ort at A democrat. I am Drilling to stand ] by : ht > eld creed. U natlaflcs my
