Aside fropj these two name nono havo been heard 'mentioned significantly, although the State Journal in endeavoring to drag lion. Oenlo M. Lam bertson of Lincoln Into the gubernatorial contest. A decided undercurrent of rivalry Is going on among fuslonlsts over tho apportionment of tho number of places on tho stnto ticket to tho respcctlvo parties.' Heretofore the populists have secured nil of the places except that of attorney general, but this year It Is known that tho sentiment among democrats Is unanimously In favor of de manding nt least two, whllo tho democrats of Douglas county nro avowedly bent on demanding three. They want tho position of nttorney general for V. D. Oldham, that of state auditor for Kdgar Howard nnd will also ask for ono more place, probably that ot lieutenant governor, but Just for whom It is not stated. Meantime Chairman KilmlMon of tho populist stnto committee Is red-hot nfter tho nomination for auditor, nnd It Is beginning to look ns If Kdgar Howard's democratic allies nro nbout to llo down on him, using his rabid nnti-pass utterances as the exeuso for their desertion ot his causo. It Is not deemed entirely Impossible ' thnt the democrats may bring forward n candidate for gov ernor from their ranks, or If they do not go that far, they may bring out another populist against I'oyntor. It Is with an ulr of tho most distressing languldness that local democrats say that they suppose that Poyntor will bo renominated, n there Is no one out against him. Some of tho locat democrats have been heard suggesting Stark or Sutherland for the place. Thero Is sorao uneasiness lest John O. Yclser. going down to Lincoln with tho solid Douglas county delegation, may sidetrack 1'oyntcr In tho populist convention, and tho democratic managers of populist affairs nro casting nbout for emergency tlmbor. Democrats would hardly consider tho In dorsement of Yclser, nnd they are so frightened over tho apathy that Is mani fested everywhere toward Poynter's icandl dacy thnt they are not' likely .to go to 'Lin coln without reserves In sight. urlckson nnd Wllllnm -Schneider, t'ooners' union, No. 21.

Dun & Co.'s Weoklv Review of Trudo tomorrow will say: Formal reduction of 13 per ton In prices of plates nnd bars nnd closing of milts by the American Steel and Wire company have, filled the week with surprises. In tho stock market and In tho market for steel and Iron products changes have begun, nnd tho end of which cannot well bo foreseen. Apart from the disturbance In speculation thero lntH been produced n measure of dis trust regarding prices that arc maintained by the great combinations, which for the present tend to deter buying. In the iron business the formal t eductions were nlmost wholly anticipated. BomcrtirgerV and Im portant contracts hnvn been made, Includ ing that for tho Now York tunnel, requir ing 70,000 tons ut prices not stated, but It Is known that many others have been de ferred until the prospect Is clearer. Thero Is a slightly better demand for hides at Chicago, attributed to their Im proving condition, but the distribution of boots nnd shoes docs not keep nil the fac tories nt work. Some are closed, many more nro running part time nnd very few of those In operation hnvo orders for a slnglo month, There Is no room for doubt that greatly restricted buying hns been caused by the high prices nuked, which the makers declare unavoidable until prices of leather yield. The shipments from Iloston In three weeks hnvn been 31.152 cases, or ll.fi ner cent smaller tliHii last year, and n little less thnn In 1R9S. Yet 11 large business Is claimed In leather, which Is still held without yield ing. The textile Industries hnvc largo orders yet to bo tilled which keep many of tho mills busy, but there are many others less fortunate, and their hunt for orders with out much regard for prices causes Irreg ularity In the lines not of established posi tion. The stupla woolen nnd worsted goods hold steadily, us the makers need no more contracts, nut in less ravoreu lines, noui for men's wear and In dress goods, tho business Is by no means satisfactory. Wool has been Inactive without change In prices. Cotton goods are by some sold ut conces sions for future delivery, as all realize that present prices will not long control cost of production, Haw cotton Is held at 9.81 cents, with all tho more ease because there seems to bo nobody In this country Impatient to buy except In tho speculative markets. North ern mills have taken, with the stocks they hold last September, enough for the whole yenr's needs, The spinners nbroad, who havo yet to supply themselves, are paying over 9.3 cents, tho average export nrlcos for JM.OOO.OOO worth shipped In March. ,In spite of decrense.s In other staples thero were the largest merchandise exports ever Known, except in December, liv'i, und tne value of the domestic exports, chiefly manufactured, rose to JM),503,f09 In March, a sum never nppronched In nny other month, Wheat has declined a fraction In nrlco and corn advanced a fraction, both mar kets being rendered comparatively Inactive by certainty that the remaining foreign re quirements will be easily met. Atlantic exports In three weeks, flour in cluded, have been 5,T!M!,SM bushels, ngalnst 6.622,714 last year, nnd Pncltlc exports 2,37, 927 bushels, ngalnst 1,152.069 lust ytnr.

The strength ot pork products has stimulated corn, nnd there Is less weakness In this thnn the other cereals. Stormy wenther nnd Hooded water courses nt the south hnve checked nnd retarded ' cottpn planting, but this feature nnd the statistical strength of the market have not been sulllclent to produce any outside bull movement, while the qUletneris lh dry goods and tne weakness noted In cotton yarlls hnvc been addition ally discouraging features. Wool Is weak, but there Is rather more Inquiry and naw a ono year ago, rela tively higher prices rule nt points of pro duction. Backward weather conditions hnvo affected the number trade demand, but In this, (is In n number of other lines, tho ndvnnced prices demanded tiro credited with checking business, The pressure of heavy supplies Is re sponsible for the sltght weakening shown In the Price of r.vw sugar this week, while tlio -rcllned market remains unchanged.

Heavy rains and cool weather early In tho week had n depressing effect on trade and collections, but with the advent of a warm spring tem pnrnture Improved conditions of retail de mand, which Is nt present the mot im portant element In the general trade situa tion, have been noted, Tho beur campaign In Iron nnd steel took on a new phase this week when a number of mills were shut down as alleged, becnuso of an over-supply of these goods. Tho an nouncement has had an unsettled effect on the general demand, is was expected, and new domestic business Is Interfered with. The strength of the export demand pre viously noted In theac columns, however, l still a fenture nnd we hnvo the best of reasons for believing that a vory largo quantity of southern Iron, variously esti mated at from 20,000 to 30,000 tons, was sold this week, to go abroad at nearly or about full prices.

Tcnnesseo will have two republican tickets In tho field in the coming state campaign. Likewise, two sets of delegates will go to the national convention nt Philadelphia. As expected, the state convention split here today, tho Evans contingent walking out nnd holding a convention of thejr own. W. F. Poston of Crockett county Is Its guber natorial selection,, whllo John E. McCnll is at tho bend of the stnto ticket, named by the convention ovor which Congressman Brownlow presided. Pension Commissioner Henry Clay Evans will lead ono delega tion to tho national convention, while the other will be directed from tho background by Congressman nnd National Committee man Walter P. Brownlow. Both delega Hons aro Instructed for McKtnloy. The situation Is the outcomo of a bitter factional fight that has waged In tho state for sonio time. The expected storm broke In tho stnto convention soon after It met to day. Tho Evans men bolted and proceeded to Amusement hall, whero they held u con vention of their own, Tho split came when the "uncontested" delegates refused to substitute the minority for the majority report of the committee on credentials. That comnilttco presented a majority roport Beating Brownlow dojegatt from eighteen contested counties, and both delegations from thirteen counties. The minority recommended tho seating of Evans delegates In each Instance. When tho motion to substitute was lost W. S, Tipton of Bradley county called on Commissioner Evans' friends to follow him out. As the bolters filed out of the hall thore was much disorder. Finally order wns restored and tho majority report adopted. Congressman W. P. Brownlow wae In stalled as permanont chairman and Con gressman Henry R. aibson, Foster W. Brown, a. N.

Tho administration of President McKlnley Is warmly Indoisod and his renomlnatlon at Philadelphia declared for. Continuing, tho resolution aays: "Wo congratulate, tho country that the present republican congrrea has established by leg islation the pcrmanenco of the gold stand ard. We denounco the monstrosities of tho recont Nebraska platform, which Is ad mitted to bo the forerunner of the na tional platform to be adopted by the Chi cago wing of the democratic party at Its national convention at Kansas City." The platform declares for oxpanslon, and on this aubjoct nays In part: "With such democratu oe 8enator Morgan of Alabama, Senator McLaurln of South Carolina and Judgcn Lurton and Wright of Tennessee, Indorsing the policy of the administration In Its treatment of expansion as an accepted fact, wo contemplate with complacency tho denunciation of the administration by the Bryan followers, who aro 'hell for war In times of peace' and 'hell for peace In times of war.' " John E. McCall was the convention's cholco for governor and W.'C.' Hornoby for railroad commissioner. The Evans contingent repaired to Amuse ment hall, whore numerous speeches of In dignation were Indulged In. J. R. Walker was made permanont chairman. The resolu tions Adopted declaro nlleglanco to the re publican party traditions. McKlnley 1h In dorsed dnd his renomlnatlon advocated. The administration of II. Clay Evans as com missioner of pensions Is praised nnd tho upbuilding of a merchant marlno declared for. The resolutions conclude with n scathing denunciation of Cangrereman Brownlow and the majority faction of tho republican stato executive committee. W. F. Postnli was unanimously nominated for governor nnd W. S. Tipton for railroad commissioner. Howard A. Mann, H. T. Campbell, J. C.

The democratic state commltteo met at tho Hoffman houso today for tho purpose of naming a time and place for holding the Btat'e convention to elect four delegatea-at-large to tho national Convention at Kansas City. It Is said that Mr. Croker will Join hands with cx-Scnator Hill to send an unlnstructcd delegation to Kansas City. The leaders who declare for nn unlnstructcd delegation disclaim, how ever, any hostility to Mr. Bryan. Ex-Senator Hill is now, so It Is declared, ready to sup port Bryan nnd will be with Bryan this fall, the politicians say, Ills nresent nlan. so It is declared, l to make ft fight to have the platform to bo adopted at tho national convention drawn up on lines whlolr will be somewhat of a recession from tho national platform of 1800 so that all democrats can support It. For this reason he wants nn un- intftrtictcd delegation, as seventy-two un pledged votes In tho convention will be potent in making combinations looking to wardg the drafting of a satisfactory plat form. Frank 'Campbell, chairman of tho demo cratic! tate committee, said: "The party wouiu oa nun more now by dropping Bryan than It could possibly hopo to gain from the oppceltlon. So what Is the uso of going to useless troublo. It Is truo that the state convention will probably Bend an unln etructed "delegation to Kansas City, but that means simply that New York Is following a precedent whon It has no candidate ot Its own. The delegates will vote for Mr. Bryan. The democrnts havo an excellent chance this fall. There Is nono of the apathy there was In 1896 and whether Bryan Is nominate! or not, the democrats will put up a lively light this year." Even 'If the 16 to 1 plank were put In the platform at tho coming national convention, Mr. Campbell said, thero would be no bolt-, lng and. every delegate would accept the notion of the cpnventlon. About three-quarters of tho llfty raombers of the committee were present and the rest wero present by proxy. Former 8onator David Hill, who was present, said: "It Is our year this year. You can say that thero Is hanmony with a big H in the democratic party ot tho state. That's nil I havo to say." Hill's stntement was echoed by Chalrmnn Campbell, Eliot F. Danforth, Andrew A. Mc Lean of Rockland, F. J. Illlg of Buffalo and sovrral others, From vOiat could be gathered among the committee men-'. the -Idea seemed to prevail that ex-Senator Murphy, Richard Croker, cx-Senator Hill and probably James Sbev- Fair, With Slier In IJxIreme Hunt er n Portions, Is I'riiKrnm for Xe lirnskn In Other MtntCN.
