St. Louis, July 23. Congressman 'l'owne of Minnesota, one of tho bolting silver Republicans, arrived here to-day. He has been in Minnesota since the Chicago convention and has addressed there large silver meetings. The silver movement in Minnesota, said he, is growing by metes and bounds.

Among the Republicans I was amazed at the widespread defection in favor of silver. The Republicans and Populists whom 1 saw were nil enthusiastically for Bryan in the belief that it was only by a union of the silver forces that the battle for the restoration of silver could be won In this campaign. Your name has been canvassed extensively in connection with the presidential nomination by the Populists who want to place an independent ticket iu the field, was suggested. "I appreciate very highly tho compliment involved in the suggestion of ray name, replied Mr. Tovine, "but an independent nomination in my opinion is impracticable.

Bryan should be indorsed. I am for Bryan." Senators Pettigrew of South Dakota and Jones of Nevada arrived here today. TO EDUCATE VOTERS.

Springfield, July 23. Boss Filley arrived last night for the Republican state eouvevlion and went at once to the hotel, which is just now the political center of the town. "Czar Zeigenhein and F. B. Brownell brought a train load of Fit-leyites from St.

Louis, arriving soon after daylight. Among them were Congressman Barthold t. who was permanent chairman of the St. Joseph Emana -ptauorm. California waa Ivided, but it was said the middle ol ae road men in the delegation would iccept Bryan on a straight Populist ilatforin.

There was no response Connecticut. Colorado announced two delegations one for Bryan and (he other for a straight-out. The seo fetary moved that the middle-of-the toad men use every effort to seat their lelegatton and reject the Democratic Negation headed by Tom Patterson. This was carried with a shout. There Tvas no response from Delaware or the pistrict of Columbia.

Georgia did not respond. When Indiana was called it announced that the greater portion of Jhe delegation was middle-of-the- road, the delegate making ths an-noui cement stating that tin- Populists he represented did not propose to da anything that would assist in the election of Daniel W. Voorhees to succeed himself. In the Texas delegation to-day Harry Tracy proposed that a telegram should be sent to Mr. Bryan, asking him if he indorsed the Omaha platform.

Tracy mnfie a spirited speech in support of his proposition, saying that, in view of the talk of indorsing Bryan by the Populist convention, the delegates were entitled to know how he stood with reference to Populist principles. The proposition was voted down by a narrow margin, but not until after several members had made speeches for and against it. Those vho opposed the sending of the telegram took the position that it would be indelicate to put such an in- to Mr. Bryan at this time. The riends of Mr.

Bryan accept the result with much satisfaction, in view of the supposition that Texas was irreconcilably antagonistie to the Democratic nominee. WESTERNERS FOR BRYAN. If these men shall have their middle-of-the-road way, a result that by no meanes is assured, as conditions superficially still indicate the success of the Bryan movement, the Western Pop Gists tl not be affected by it. It wont make any difference," said Senator Stewart this morning. Wed vote for Bryan anyway.

Jerry Simpson added and was seconded by ex-Con'vressman Davis: So far as Kansas is oi seemed it doesnt matter what this convt ntion dot-s, we are for Bryan and for fiee silver. Enough testimony of th sort is at hand from com etent sources to make it certain tha. in the event that an independent ticket is named the Western Populists will not accept it. Meanwhile gossip continues of fusion on electors, with division between the parties on the basis of the vote last cast, but the Democratio managers are compelled to reject this as firmly as they reject the proposa to withdraw Sewall. It does not now seem positive that the Populists will have any choice ex-cep' ns between two courses nominate Bryan and Sewall, or to name a ticket of their own.

None of the compromises thus far proposed appears to stand the least chance of acceptance. Nomination instead of indorsement will he necessary, it is Baid, because the laws of Ohio and North Dakota require that all who are named on a ticket shall be the candidates of the jarty presenting it. The fusionists, jacked by their helpful allies, the siher I)t in crats and le silver Republicans, appear to have the advantage of number and position. GEORGIA AGAINST INDORSEMENT. The Georgia delegation arrived today.

II. P. Blunt, a leading member, said that it would be impossible to bring the delegation to the support of Brynn and Bewail. Tho Populists of his stnte would construe the indorsement of the national Democratic nominees as an indorsement of Democratic methods in Georgia state politics and it would be impossible to reconcile them to tho course.

Washington, July 22. As one result of a conference between Chairman Babcock of the Republican Congressional committee and Mark Hanna and itlajor McKinley last week, the Congre sional committee, from this time o.i, will perform more work and in diffe ent fields than has ever-devolved upon any previous committee. The nun -r of campaign documents that will bi sent out between now and next November by the congressional committee will be in the mil lions. From one (State alone an order has been received for 700,000 of these documents, and ttiere are a number of orders for The majority of these documents will bear upon the financial question. The congressional committee will got out the campaign book this year and it is now at work upon it.

Bryan Their Candidate.

in Mr. Bryan the I'likago convention placed at the head of its ticket a gentleman of -ceptional ability and high character. No man of his ago was tter known throughout the United Stut.es than he. A member of Congress for fur years, ho commanded tho admiration and respect ot nil his associates in that body as a scholarly student nnd pri found thinker. No man had ever assailed his character, or i 1 any way questioned his integrity or moral worth His character is a fit example for the young men o-this country Ho has shown in allhis public utteruncoi lliat he loves his country.

nnd his and that lie sympathizes with tliom in their distress. He lias also shown that ho helioved ths financial system which makes gold tho standard of values was in a groat degree the cause of the depression and financial distress prevalent throughout tin land; thill the condition now oxisting will continue while i tie pr so it monetarr systom lasts, an I that he would fain return to tin use of botli gold and silver as they were used prior to 187 and ho has pr iposod such a change of tho financial system by tho usual constitutional mothodi. "Huch was tae character and such the po'it-leal opinions of tin can lidato known to hi countrymen, who by representatives in convention selected from every stato in the Union, put him in nomination for the highest office within the gift of the Am irican peoplo This is a criti-al period onr national history. Onr industrial ani financial independence of other nations and peoplos is involved in this campaign, and firmly bali ve the will be no return of prosperity until we shall have changed our financial system so as to restore the bimetallic system established by the fathers of the republic nnd so bel.eving, we urge ail friends of gold an 1 silver as standard monoy and tin opponent of a single gold standard, to give ti Mr. Bryan and Mr.

Stevenson, committee. Manitou, Col July a', 185). The Proposed Dropping of Mr. Sewall Positive iiuollned by Air. Jones St.

Louis, July 22. Up to this morning Democratic National Chairman Jones had not been apprised of the proposed compromise of the Populists lookiug to the indorsement of llryan, the substitution of a new man for Sewall for second place and the substitution of part Populist electors in the various states. It can, however, bo stated authoritatively that no such compromise would be entertained by tho Democratic committee, as that committee, Mr. Jones said, must be as loyal to the Vico Presidential nominoe as to tho Presidential candidate. It is also known that Chairman Jones does not regard a division of electors as possible or dieve that the Democrats could consent to any such division.

St. Louis, July 23. If the convention which will begin its session to-morrow shall indorse Bryan and Sewall the middle-of-the-road men from the South will' be driven into revolt as the last resort of self preservation, for it is with the Democracy that all their domestic wars have been waged and submission to it means the destruction of the organizing labors of years. If the convention shall refuse to indorse the Demo-cratio nominees and present a ticket of its own, the Populists of the West are quite resolved to ignore its action and cast their votes for the Democratic electors. The middle-of-the-road men are making demonstrably extravagant claims.

Not cdu 'enting themselves with assertion-Vhat they will certainly have a majority of the convention, they alare that tl ey will havo two-thirds of all the egates and that inasmuch as no indorsement of Bryan can be had, no occasion for a bolt can arise. Undeniably hey constitute a strong force in the convention. They are daily receiving accessions in numbers and are beginning to display unsuspected tactical ability. They have not as yet determined upon any candidate, seeking first through a union of all their forces the establishment of their principles. But it is worthy of note that the Indiana delegation comes for DebB, Wisconsin comeB opposed to Indorsement and Ohio divided as to Bryan but united against Sewall.

Indeed so many of the midd if-the-road men have found their way to town since yesterday afternoon as to quite restore the equation disturbed by the hurrah entrance of the Kansas and Nebraska delegations. Middle of the Roailers Organize. The middle-of-the-road Populists recognized lo-day that the organization of the Bryan men was telling and made an effort to effect one themselves. Up to this morning they had maintained open headquarters at the Laclede hotel, where the arriving delegates were requested to register, procure badges, report as to what their State delegn ion would do, and then saunter forth into the tel lobbies and join in the talk. But no chairman, secretary, sergeant-at-arms or other officer had been selected.

Such a campaign could make little headway against the organized forces of the Bryan men, who were acting with system. A meeting of the middle-of-the-road men was called and an attempt made to organize. A. 1J. Livingstone of Missouri was elected temporary chairman and Allie Reed of Ohio temp irary secretary.

F. D. Albright of Oklahoma pointed out a man seated in front of the chairman aud declared that he had been aroued the various hotels distributing Mark Hanna money for the purpose of preventing the indorsement of Bryan and defeating the Silver party. The man proved to be Silaa Ross of Buffalo, N. Y.

Ross denied in the most emphatic manner that he had been engaged in any such business, or had ever seen the Oklahoma man before. Albright claimed tiiat Ross had represented himself as from Baltimore and other portions of the country, but upon close questioning he admitted that he might be mistaken in saying that the man looked very much like Ross. Later in the meeting llackstaff of Colorado entered and made a speech. The Oklahoma man arose and said llackstaff was tho mun who offered money to defeat Bryans indorsement, llackstaff denied that he had ever seen the Oklahoma man before or that he was engaged in anything but an effort to select a straight out Populist candidate for president. The Oklahoma man seemed to be uncertain, and weut out after a motion had been adopted requesting the Bryan men tc leave the hall.

Call of State. Shortly after the meeting was called to order, a motion was carried with a whoop that none but a straight out Populist should be nominated for President. Then occurred a row over the fact that men with Bryan badges were in the room. It was claimed by the middle-of-the-road Populists that these Bryan men should either get out or declare themselves for a middle of-the-road ticket. There were several juarrels over rights of recognition, but the secretary finally got a semblance of order by moviug a call of the roll of states to secure responses, nd see what strength the middle-of-the-road men would have in the ionvention.

Arizona did not respond, nor did Alabama, although a Florida man itated that he understood Alabama vaa divided. Arkansas was for the Denver, July 22. Senator Teller and eleven of his associates, who left the national Republican convention, last evening made public an address to the silver Republicans of the country, setting forth their views of the situation, lu addition to those signing the address Senators Pettigrew of South Dakota and Cannon of Utah are declared to be in sympathy with it, although Senator Cannon was not present at the conference, owing to business engagements in Boston. The address is as follows: We deom it fitting that wo who liavo hero tofore affiliated with tho national Republican party, and who have rejected the financial plank of the platform adopted at St. Louis, and refused to support the nominees of the convention, should state our posit.

on in the presont campaign and give briefly our reasons in support thereof. Whoa certain delegates to the national Repub' ican convention repudiated the financial plank of the platform, and withdrew from the convention, we determined that we would give our support to such candidates as should appear most willing and capablo of aiding in tee restoration of silvor to its rightful place as a standard monoy. The Democratic party, in its China to convention, has taken a position in its platform so pronouncedly favorable io silver, and has nominated candidates of such unquestionable convictions in favor of the bimetallic policy and of such high personal character, that we have determined to givo them our support. We support such candidates becauso they represent the great principle of bimetallism, which we believe to be the cause of humanity and civilization and the paramount question now bofore the American people. Why They Are for Rryan.

Wo therefore announce that we shall by voice and voto support Messrs Bryan and Sewall for President and Vice Prnsi mt, and we a ppeal to all citizons, and especially to Republicans who fo il ns we do, that gold monometallism would bo of lasting injury to the country, to act with us iu securing their elec-f tion. Tho Democrats who believe in the gold standard have announced their intention to support McKinley or to put a third candidate in the field for tho avowod purpose of aiding McKinleys olection. A great number of leading and influential Democratic journals have de-clarod that tho.v will support ttie Republican nomineos It is evidont there is to bo a union of forces on the part of the advocates nnd supporters of the gold standard to ole McKinley nnd a Congress favorable to him which will support the fmnnciil policy outlinod in the Republican platform. To those who boliovo in bimooltism, which means tho equal treatment of otli gold and silver at them its of the nati thore is but one course to pursue, and that is to unite all the silver forces and to oppobo th all our might tho candidate ropro-en ting tho policy which we boliove is fraught with disaster to the nation and ruin to tho people. Gold monometallism me ms tin shifting to gold alone, as tho primary money, of all the burdens of commeroi and the credit firmerly borne by gold and silvor anil ns tho world's stock of those metals has always been about equal in amount, it means tho doubling of the burden upon gold.

Doubling the burden upon gold means doubling tho demand for the same, and doubling tho doman of a necessity doubles the valuo thereof. This gradual shifting to gold of all tho burdens of gold nnd silver has caused a gradual uni stiad increase in the value of evary dollar redeemable in gold, and hence a gradual and stoady decline in the value of every commodity that is measured by that dollar. Tho Republicans and supporters of McKinley consented to the insertion in the St. Louis platform of tin gold standard de-laration, thinly veneered ey a declarati in for bimetallism when the leading commercial nations of the world should consent. But until that consent was secure I tin gold stand ir i must bo maintained It is well known that this caunot be secured from Great Britain, and that such declaration for metallism means nothing With this 1 mitat'on on it.

Mr. McKinley consented to the declaration for tho gold standard in tho plattorm and in his recent speeches tms accepted it, and has become the ndvoca'e thereof lie Ins shown by bis speeches horotoforc mule that in under-A stood the danger of the gold standard a id the distress whioh would be inflict' 1 upon the American people by its adopt on, and yet he pledges tho pooplo to support and maintain that system, and fasten upon them ail the evils of the financial system which lie has he etofors repudiated, if they will mako him Presided. Whativermay have his titudo on the money question in tho past he must inevitably hereafter support the samo financial system that the presont Deinicratic adininistratian has, and if eln-tod must, contiuno the vl icy of Mr. Cleveland iu tho sale of bonds in time of peace. Hence with the siiccrs of Mr McKinley wo may took for a continuod iucreaseof the public debt, and the sale of bonds to maintain the gold standard Something Wrong With tho Country.

Louis, and Coroner W. S. Wait, who helps to take care of the Filley interests among the A. P. aud an innumerable boay of other Filley admirers.

Mayor Cyrus P. Walbridge also came, hastily summoned by his lieutenants who were on the ground and saw that there was need of him. From Northern and Western Missouri there was a host of workers. Early this forenoon there was tho greatest confusion in regard to eandi dates for the gubernatorial nomination and all kinds of rumors. Tho Cahoon men said the fight would bo between Cahoon and R.

E. Lewis, who arrived from Clinton last night. The Walbridge men claimed Walbridge as the strongest and Lewis as second, and tho P'illev dclegatesYrom St. Louis said that the fight was between Davis and Lewis. The real strength Walbridge will have in the St.

Louis delegation that is to say, tho votes lie can hold when Filley leaves him is variously estimated at from forty to sixty. Filley said this morning that Walbridge would get 10.1 votes in St. Louis, and Pohlman said practically the samo thing. Pohlman is not friendly to Walbiidge, but intimated that voting for Walbridge on the first ballot would do no harm. Everybody expects thi.t there will be at least four or five bal.ots.

Before that time tlio Filleyites from St. Louis will all be voting against Wal-bridge, and they agree that it will be either Davis or Lewis, unless something unexpected happens. The anti-Filleyites are centering on Major William Warner for permanent chairman and are clnimin? to be able to organize the convention. As new delegates arrived during the forenoon Warner seemed to lie clearly gaining strength, while Davis stock naturally went down. ANTI-FILLEY MEN CAST OCT.

The central committee met during the forenoon It unsealed the Morse delegation in Clay county and seated the Filley delegation. In Pike county the Filley delegates were seated anil in Jackson the full Davis delegation. The action of the State committee in seating the Filley delegates in Iiko county is taken as a strong indication that Filley is afraid he will not control the convention. Ho controls the committee almost to a man. Warner knew it and did not take his contest before the committee, preferring to carry it to the committee on credentials.

Jacob Rodgers, charged with the murder of Miss Della Hutchinson and her infant child, had his preliminary hearing before Justice Perry at Humboldt yesterday. It was thought Rodgers had accomplices in the crime, but if he did the evidence so far fails to point to any particular person. Tho evidence against Rodgers is purely circumstan-tiir. At the conclusion of the testimony, Justice Perry held him without bail to await the next term of the district court. THE MARKETS.

Those who are interested in the success of our cause will appreciate the situation and pardon me for making the following suggestions: 'First As time will not permit a full discussion of political questions in so large a numbor of private letters, I shall, in order to avoid discrimination, reserve all such discussions for publio occasions.
