TtKFUBES TO RUN.

OMAHA, Neb., July2.—JudgeQresham has at last been heard from, and has defined in his own way his position in regard to the presidential nomination. R. N. Scott, chairman of tho Iowa state central committee of the people's party, sent Judge Qresham the following telegram: "Will you stand as tho candidate of tho Omjiha convention for the presidency on tho 9u Louis platform? R. S. Scorr."

To this telegram Judge Gresham has replied: '•I stand by my interview of a few days ago oo tho gubjeot. My name will not be presented tfl the Omaha convention. "WALTEn Q. GRESHAM."

The Interview to which Judge Gresham refers was one In which he stated that ho agreed with tho people's party on a great many things, but that he did not agree with that party In all Its declarations. The telegram received from the judge IK Interpreted as moaning that he cannot stand as a candidate on the St. Louis platform, since in his interview he stated that he did not agree with that party in all its declarations.

The announcement that a telegram had been received from the Judge cuused considerable excitcincnt, and whon its contents became known It was generally accepted by the more conservative as clearly indicating that Judgo Gresham did not dosiro his name to be longer mentioned in this connection. Considerable stress is put upon his closing senteuce: "My name will not be presented to tho convention.' This is accepted as being the expression of his sincere desire in regard to the matter.

Thore area few of the more enthusiastic Gresham men, however, who are still disposed to believe that the judge will accept the nomination If It is tendered him, but these gentlemen seem to be in a hopeless minority, and tho Indicor tions now are that this telegram will be accepted as authoritative and final and that the Gresham boom is a thing of the past.

Stewart's Boom Hevlved.

The announcement of A. J. Sfreeter, of Illinois, that he did not bolieve Judge Gresham would acccpt the presidential nomination, and that in the event of his refusal he was in favor of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has caused the Stewart boom to receive qulto an impetus. It is becoming evident that the delegates from the silver states of the we6t will give Senater Stewart their earnest support.

The drift of sentiment at this time Is decidedly In favor of Weaver as between these two, but there are careful preparations being made to spring formidable Stewart boom. Leo Crun dall, of Washington, D. C., one of the leaders of tho silver league, is in the city and appears to have charge of Sonator Stewart's canvass. Ho announces that he has had a long conversation with tho Nevada senator, and that thore is no doubt of his willingness to accept the nomination and make the campaign on the people's party platform if the convent\pn decides to seleot him

There is, however, a disposition on the part of tho delegates from tho south as well as on the part of the representatives of the Knights of Labor and the various Industrial organizations of the oast to resent this attempt of the silver league to assume charge so soou of the destinies of the people's party. They point to the fact that at the national conven tlons of both tbo democratic and republican parties the same league appeared on the ground and practically assured each of the parties of ite support In cose It would Incorporate a freo coinage plank in Its platform.

These dissenting delegates contend that there is more in the people's party than the mere financial question, and that while it Is perhaps the one of the greatest Importance there are other issues that must not be lost from sight, and that the destinies of tho people party cannot be made entirely subservient to the. sliver league.

It Is likely that while a strenuous effort may be exerted In behalf of Senator Stewart and a formidable move ment In his Interest may be started, just before the day of ballot arrives, there is little doubt this would be met by a vigorous resistance on the part of those suspicious delegates who think that the sllvor states of the west should learn more of the great Industrial movement which has given birth to the third political party bofore they assume to dictate its presidential candidate.

Ileifnrdml t-'uvoruble Sign. The passage of the free silver bill by the United States senate is accopted by the delegates to the national people' party convention us a vindication of those vital principles of their organiza tion—the domancl for a greater circu lating medium among tho common people. The leaders all agree that nothing could have been done at this tlmo that could have been more propitious for the people's party hopes or that could have given greater inspiration for an emphatic demand in favor of those principles to which the various industrial organizations have been so long committed.

The national central committee, composed of 1150 members of tho ppople's party from all sections of the union, was in session in this city whon tho senate took the final vote on the passuge of the silver bill. Thirty seconds after tho result was announced by tho president of the senate, 1,000 miles away, the announcement of the passage of the bill was reported to this oonferencc. The effect was electrical. Nearly every member jumped to his feet and three

oheers were given for the senate, tha first legislative body to oome to the relief of the people. iSlllagton for Temporary Chairman.

Trains arriving In Omaha aro bringing sticb crowds to attend the people's party national convention that it is probable tlys whole l,nS ^credited delegates will bo prcsont to-day. Wlillo all Is oonfuslou and uncertainty for the moment, thero seems to be systematic management on the part of tho national committee to sea that things are hold in reasonable check in the convention hall. They have selected E. H. Ellington, of Georgia, as temporary chairman, and John W. IIayes, of New York, secretary, with a oouplo of assistants. Ben Terrell, of Texas, Is to respond to the address of welcome to the city.

Vowderly Slay Preside.

T. V. Powderly and the general officers of tho Knlghta of Labor were met by a reocptlon committee and are now In conference with union labor and trades assembly delegates to got a suitably plank In the platform In recognition of organized labor. Thero Is a suggestion of Mr. Powderly for pcrma:nl chairman of the convention.

The Platform.

It is conooded by the leaders that the platform will bo a reiteration of the St. Louis platform, which demands government control of money, landSt and transportation and freo silver, with probably a resolution added denouncing the force bill. John Devlin, the Knight of Labor leader, who .will probably head the dement In the convention, declared that it would be the St Louis olatform, with the rank and file wantnp Gresham. Tho delegations from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and Alabama have caucusod and are solid in this particular line.

Men for Second Place.

There has been only the merest mention of the vice presidency. Gresham men wanted Senator Morgan, of Alabams, and it was said there was an understanding that they should go on the same ticket, but the reported col lapse of the Gresham movement put a temporary quietus on the talk. Ignatius Donnellly would take the second place, so it Is said, and Congressman Davis, of Kansaa, has a boomlct. The best Impression Is that the vice presi dency Is to go to the south, and it will probably be Morgan, of Alabama, or Davis, of Texas. Some other names from the south will come up, among them VL. M.' Storrs, secretary of tho Florida alliance, and it Is barely possible the delegates from the southern states may not be able to agree among themselves as to which shall have the honor.

Union of the Blue and Gray. The reunion of the blue and the gray is to be one of the leading features of the convention, and every feeling or suggestion of sectionalism seems to be absolutely banished-from the convc ntion. Tho people's party leaders are making groat capital out of the declaration that this Is tho only party in wliioh the ex-union and ox-oonfederate veterans, find an equal welcome, and the coming convention is expected to do velop some stirring and patriotic scenes.

LEGISLATORS ADJOURN.

The New Apportionment nut Slgtiad by the Governor of fViicontbi-More Troo ble Likely.

MADISON, Wis., Julys,—Both houses of the legislature adjourned sine dio at noon Friday, after being notified by the governor that he had signed the ap portlonment bill. Republicans now claim that through a tcchnioal error the proper bill hti£ not In fact been passed. They assert that the bill'was Introduced in the assembly and reported'book by the committee QO apportionment to the assombly with' substitute aad reoommondod tbo ado] tloa ef the subRUtuto. The assemb: resolved itself mtb committee of the whole and oonsMorod assembly bill No 1, reported It back without amendstent, and passed It. not adopting the amendments of the committee on apportionment, whloh were reported In the form of a substitute. Thus, they say the assembly passed £ho original bill according to the record and this was concurred in by tbo senate. Thus the original bill with all its errors, iB, they say, the law, and not tho substitute.

CARXEOIE'S MEN OUT.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 3.—When the clocks tolled twelve strokes at midnight nearly 150,000 workmen, who had toiled almost incessantly during the past twelve months, were out of employment. Thu scales in force during tho past year expired at midnight, and in all mills the proprietors who have not signed the scale for the ensuing year's work caused entirely at that time. The number of iron and steel mills that oloscd down Is estimated at upward of 400. Thero are upward of 400 rolling mills In the United States, 123 of Which have trains of rolls connected with their establishments. Twenty-five or fifty of these have been idle for some time past. Of the *00 in operation until Thursday night nearly 800 are situated west of the Alleghany mountains. Quite a number of these have signed the scalo, leaving about BOO mills, which arc at present lying Idle. These employ upward of 100,000 mon. The number of glass factories whloh are not In operation is placed at 200 and the men are estimated at nearly SO,000.

The advisory oommlttcc of thte Homestead strikers met and complotcd arrangements for tbe protcotlon of thoir Interests during the wage war. Their organization is thorough and consists of subcommittees on the preservation of ordor, regulation of the sale of liquor In saloons and protection from outside labor. The rivers will be patrolled and watched day nnd night. About forty skiffs and the steam yacht Edna are in the scrvice of the men, who guard tho bank carefully on both sides of the river. Tho river patrol is in charge of ono man who has considerable experience in such matters and he Is assisted by a large number of others. The headquarters of the men will be removed to Eighth avenue, and will be fitted up In a manner to suit all purposes of the association. The saloonkeepers have been requested to regulate their sales and keep all mobs out of their places of business aud to closo up entirely if circumstancos make It necessary. The men aro disposed to keep the peace, but if an attempt Is made to operate the mills with non-union men there will probably be trouble.

A STRUGGLE PRECEDES ITS ACTION.

Th. Stewart Substitute Rill Piisnnl by Narrow Majority— Senator Hill Votes for the White

Metal.

FREE 8ILVER TRICMrHS.

WASHINGTON, July 2.—The Stownrt bill for the free coinage of silver psuttcd tho senate at a late hour Fridujr afternoon by the decisive vote of iil) to 35 after one of the hottest parliamentary battles that the senate has ever witnessed. Soven democrats—Br ice, Carlisle, Gorman, Gray, Palmer, McPherson and White-yvoted with the republicans against free coinago. Eleven republicans, the representatives of the silver 6tatqs of tho northwest, voted with the democrats In favor of freo coinage. Senator Ilill. of New -York, mode his first speech in the senate and followed it up by crossing the long-antiolpatcd silver bridge and casting his vote for free silver.

The vote In detail is as follows: Yeas. George, Allen. Data, Ufrrv, JJlacktfurn, Blodgett, Jiutlcr, Cameron, Coctrett, Dubotn, FoutAher,

The lint tie.

Promptly at 2 o'clock Senator Manderson, tho temporary presiding officer, put aside the business which was temporarily before the senate and announced that by tho agreement entered into on June 20 the senate would now consider tho bill for the free coinage of silver. By this time the senate chamber was filled to its utmost capacity, nearly every senator being in his seat and tho area back of the senate chairs being crowded with members of the house who had come to witness this decisive struggle.

First came a somewhat tedious controversy as to whether the agreement of June 20 was such as to positively bind the senate. Senator Gray took the ground that senators who were absent could not be bound by an agreement in which they had taken no part. On the other haud, Senator Morgan held that this agreement, arrived at by senators in open senate, had the same force as a rule of the body, and when Manderson, who presided in the absence of Vice President Morton, ruled otherwise, the senator from Alabama in his annoyance took the extreme step to »n appeal from the chair, a proceeding almost unknown in the senate.

The Flint Te«t.

After a groat deal of controversy the senate found Itself confronted by a snarl of motions and amendments, all of which were withdrawn to make wuy for tho resolution of Senator Dolph to recommit the entire subject to the comtee on finance. Here for the first time was a real test of strength, for, as Senator Morgan explained, a vote to recommit meant a vote against free silver.

Almost before the senators appreciated it the roll was being called on this tost. It had not proceeded more than, three names when Senator Hill was seen to rise and beckon the presiding officer for recognition. From several directions came the protest that lie was out of order, inasmuch as a roll-call was In progress, but Senator Vest camc to his rescue with the request that there be unanimous consent to hear Senator Hill, and senatorial courtesy again triumphed. The din and confusion in the senate chamber nnd the galleries subsided, and tho junior senator fhom New York made his maiden speech in the senate amid most flattering Bilence. His words camc slowly and with measured precision. lie did not address himself to the motion Itself, but said with dramatic emphasis that he could not violate an agreement honorably arranged among gentlemen, and that his vote against the recommittal of the bill was actuated solely by his desire to observe the agreement among the senators.

Vefit Proponed Drhiy.

After this slight Intermission the roll oontlnued, disclosing a vote of SI to 28 against recommittal. This was of course interpreted as a victory of tho froe silver mon, and from that time it was a contest largely against the dilatory tactics whloh tho anti-silver forces were abks to omploy. Tho vote had shown that Carlisle, Palmer, Gorman, Gray, McPherson and White wore voting with the republicans, while tho silver senators from tho northwest wero voting with the democrats.

The silver men wore smiling, but they were again throw into uncertainty by tho unexpected action of Senator Vest, who had voted with them, in coming forward with a motion to postpone consideration of the ontire subject until the first Monday in next lleccmber. The margin of three votes which the silver men hiid held on

ABSOLUTELY PURE

the test vote was so sm:ill that they feared the deflection of Senutor Vest's vote, and the roll call on Senator Hhiel burn's motion to table the Vest motion was watehed by both sides with breathless interest. Strangely enough, there was tic vote in each case, both motions being thus defeated. This had eleared the way for the main question.

The llll! a. raHHmi.

It was just 4 o'clock when Senator Stewart sent to the clcrk'sdcsk the bill in its final sliupc. to be read before pussoge. It read as follows: "That the owner ot sliver bullion may clejHmlt tho name at any mint of the l.'nlteil Slates lo lie coined for his benefit, aril It shall lie the duly of the proper offli-crs, upon the t.-rms and renditions whli'hare. provided by law rnr tin- d.-povit uud coluufe of gold, to coin Biich bullion into

'The uet of July U, 1830, entitled 'an not directing the purchase of stiver bullion and the is due of treasury notes thereon and tor olliei purposes,' Is hereby repealed. "Provided, that the secretary shall proceed to have coined all Hit.- silver bullion in the treasury purchased Willi sliver or coin certlllcatcs

No Auieudllieiits.

There was tho usual flood of minor amendments, many of them being merely a matter of proposed chauges in verbiage. Senator Carey, a republican, of Wyoming, introduced UH an amenduient the financial plunk of the new democratic platform udoptcd at Chicago. There was a moment of confusion as the democratic senators whispered together as to their course in voting for or against the amendment. Senator Morgan was the first to relieve the embarassmcnt by moving to lay tho amendment on the table. Ills motion prevailed.

The Deolslvs Vote Talten.

Then oaino the final vote. It wns now 4:30 o'olock, and all attempts ut dilatory motions had been abandoned. The senators saw themselves at last face to face with tho sllvet Issue and prepared to meet it. A monotonous roll call followed, tho usual announcement of pairs and explanations of absentees wero made, and finally, a few minutes before 5 o'clock, President Pro Tempore Manderson arose in his scat, and announced that the bill for the free coin-, age of gold and silver hud passed the senate by a vote of 20 to 3fi.

There was an outburst of applause in the gallery, which the presiding otlleci vainly tried lo suppress. The confusion on the floor of the senate becama so marked that the senate chamber itself for a few moments resembled the house in one ol its wilder moods and it was not until Senator Cockroll (Mo.) threatened to invoke the aid of the sergeant-' at arms to restore order that, the senate resumed its usual dignity. Senator Stewart's battle having at last been won, his Colleagueforgetting all differences of the past, crowded around him offering their congratulations.
