St. Louis, July 25.—The national silver party convention opened its session Wednesday and Fruinds Newlantls, of j Nevada, was made temporary chairman. William 1\ St. John, of New York, was | •hose ii a: permanent chairmau and the I usual eemmittees were named. On ^ Thurstlay the day was passed in listen:i.^ to scxernl nddressosand to adopting the following jilatform: The rial form. “The national silver party of Amorlea, In convention assembled, hereby adopts the following declaration of principles: “First—The paramount issue at this time tn the United States is indisputably the money question. It is between the British gold standard, gold bonds and hank currency on the one side, and the bimetallic standard, no bonds, government currency (and an American policy) on the other. “On this Issue we declare ourselves to bo in favor of a distinctively American Jinan cial system. We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, and demand the Immediate return tu the constitutional standard of gold and silver, by the restoration by this government, independently ot any foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver, into standard money at the ratio of sixteen to cue, and upon terms of exact equality as they existed prior to 1*73; the silver coin to be of full le£al tender, equull) with gold, for all debts and dues, public and private, and we demand such legislation ns v. ill prevent for the future the destruction of the legal tender quality of any kind of money by private contract. “We hold that the power to control and regulate a paper currency Is inseparable from ihe power to coin money; and hence, that all currency intended to circulate us money should be issued and its volume controlled by the general government only, and should be a legal t€*nder. “We are unalterably opposed to the issue by the United States of Interest-bear-ing bonds In time of peace, and we denounce as a blunder, worse than a crime, the present treasury policy concurred In by a republican house, of plunging the country into debt by hundreds of millions in the vain attempt to maintain the gold standard by borrowing gold; and we demand the payment of all coin obligations of the United States, as provided by existing laws in either gold or silver coin, at the option of the government, and not at the option of the creditor. “Over and above all other questions of policy, we are in favor of rtstoring to the people of the United States the timehonored money of the constitution—gold and silver, not one but both—the money of Washington and Hamilton, and Jefferson and Monroe, and Jackson and Lincoln, to the end that the American people may receive honest pay for an honest pioduct; that the American debtor may pay his Just obligations in an honest standard and not in a dishonest and unsound standard appreciated loo per cent In purchasing power, and no appreciation In debt-paying power, and to the end. further, that silver standard countries may be deprived of the unlust advantage they now enjoy, in the difference in exchange between gold and silver—an ad vantage which tariif legislation cannot

overcome.

“We therefore confidently appeal to the people of the United States to hold in abeyance all other questions, however Important and even momentous they may appear, to sunder, if need be, all former pa’ty ties and adulations, and to unite in one supreme effort to free themselves and their cnlldren from the domination of money power—a power more destructive than any which has ever been fastened upon the civilized men of any race or in any age. And upon the consummation of our desires and efforts, we evoke the aid of all patriotic American citizens, and the gracious favor of Divine providence. Yesterday the report of the joint conference committee which recommends uniting the silver forces and leaves the details to each political party—silver and populists—was adopted. Candidates Chosen. Mr. I’ace, of Nebraska, moved that the convention proceed to the nomination of a candidate for president and vice

president.

Mr. Face's motion was adopted, and E. C. Little, of Abilene, Kan., was recognized to place William J. Bryan’s name before the convention. He did so in a peaceful, at times forceful, rpeech. Several seconds followed, and finally nominations were declared closed, and a motion to nominate Mr. Bryan by acclamation was adopted tTnanTinously by a rising' vote. Algjiyid^r Tj;? u P f 'i Connecticut, placed Arthur Sewall’s name before the convention for vice president and :be nomination of Mr. Sewall was made by acclamation. After the appointment of notification committees the convention adjourned

sine die.

Lee Protest*. Havana, July 28.—Strenuous efforts are being made by Gen. Lee on behalf of the government ag-ainst the order of Gen. Weyler prohibiting the export of fruit. This prohibition is causing an immense damage to American commerce and business. The principal reason for the prohibition of the export of fruit at certain seaport towns is that they are virtually under the control of the rebels. Place. Tariff Second. New York, July 20.—Marcus A Hnnna, the chairman of the republican national committee, does not consider a high protective tariff the overwhelming issue In this campaign. He considers the issue to be honest finances and a protective tariff. “That is the way I should define it,” said Chairman Hanna to a New York Herald representative at the Waldorf hotel Tuesday night. Sugar Kounty Claim*. Washington, July 28.—Auditor Baldwin has finished the compiling of the sugar bounty claims. They aggregate $'■,,<>85,150.00. There was appropriated $5,000,000 to pay the bounty on this aggregate. The money in hand will pay 82 per cent, of the claims filed and allowed. {ffi.-"!* An low» Trngeily. Iowa Falls, la., July 28.—Frank Pierson, in a fit of insanity, cut the throats ot his aged father and mother and then his own at their home in this place. Mrs. Pierson and her son will probably die. A Lover'* Crime, St. Paul, Minn., July 27.—Henry B. White, of Northfield, fatally shot Miss Tillie Strumpf in this city because sue refused to marry him and then fa aiiyi shot himself. - - I

\\ till.iiv. J. Bryan Nominated f*»r President ant! ThnmtiM L. Watffon for Vice President The Platform Adopted. St. Louis, July 25.—Tlie nntionr.l con ventiou of the populist party which met in this city on Wednesday selected Senator Butler, of North Carolina, as temporciry chairman and appointed the various committees. On Thur ilay Senator Allen, of Nebraska, was made permanent chairman and the day was passed in speech-making. Yesterday the convention remained In session until midnight. At the conclusion of many speeches naming candidates for the viee-presidem ini nomination the roll was called, and Thomas K. Watson, of Georgia, was nominated on the first ballot, the nomination being afterwards made ununi- j mous. This was the result of a strong fight against the nomination ofArtuur Sewall, of Maine, the democratic nominee for the same office. Contrary to all precedent, the report ol the committee on rules, which was adopted, placed *iie nomination of vice-president before that of president. The Platform. The report of the committee on resolutions, w hich was adopted, is as fol-

lows:

"4. We denounce the sale of bonds and tin Incr-ase of the public Inttivst-bcarinK debt made by the present administration

It. w

unnecessary and without authority of and deuiand that no more bonds be ts-ued except by specific act of congress. "5, We demand such legislation as will prevent the demonetization of the lawful money of the United States by private con-

tract

"6. We demand that the government. In payment ot Its obligations shall use Its option ai to tho kind of lawful money tn w hleh they are to he paid, and we denounce ' the present and preceding administration | for surrendering this option to the holders ot government obligations. "7 We demand a graduated Income tax to the end that aggregated wealtt. shall bear Us just proportion of luxation, and we regard the recent div ision of the supreme court relative to the Income tax law as a misinterpretation of the constitution and an invasion of the rightful powers of congress over the subject of taxation. •'it We deman I that postal savings hanks be established by the government for the safe deposit of the savings of the peoplr ond to tac'.lltate exchange.

Transportation.

"9. Transportation being a means of exchange and n public necessity, the government should own and operate the railroads In the Interest of the people and on a nonpartisan basis; to the end that all may be accorded the same treatment In transportation, and that the tyranny and political power now exercised by the great railroad corporations which result in the Impairment. If not the destruction, of the political rights and personal liberties ot the citizen may be destroyed. Such ownership is to be accomplished gradually In j ppinro-r consistent with sound public pol- ^ ! iti. The interest of the United States In the public highways built with public moneys and the proceeds of extensive giants of land to the I’aclfic railroads,

should never be alienated, sold, but guarded and

I lt p% d ote m e?e r » d -t& general wellfare as provided by the laws organizing such railroads. The foreclosure of existing Hens of the United States on these roads should at once follow default In the payment thereof by the debtor companies; and at the foreclosure sales of said roads the government shall purchase the same If It becomes necessary to protect Its Interests therein, or If they Can be purchased at a rt asonal le price; and the government shall operate said railroads as public highways for the benefit of the whole people and not In the Interest of the few, under suitable provisions for protection of life end property, giving to all transportation Interests equal privileges and equal rates for fares and freights. “U. We denounce the present Infamous s themes for refunding these debts and demand that the laws now applicable thereto be executed and administered according to

their interest and spirit.

12. The telegraph, like the post office system, being a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owned and operated by the government In the Interest of the

people. Land.

“13. True policy demands that the national and state legislation snail be such as will ultimately enable every prudent and Industrious citizen to secure a home, and therefore the land should not be monopolized lor specui, five purposes. All lands now held by railroads and other corporations In excess of their actual mods Should by lawful means be reclaimed by the government and held for natural settlers only, and private land monopoly, as well as alien ownership, should t c prohibited. "14. We condemn the frauds by which the land-grant I'aclflc railroad companies have, through the connivance of the In tvrlor department, robbed multitudes of actual. Bonn tide settlers of their homes and miners of their claims, and we demand legislation by congress which will enforce the exception of mineral land grants aft' r ns well as before patent. "15. We demand that bona tide settlers cm all put'lb lands be grunted free homes, as provided In the national homestead law, and that no exception be made In the ease of Indian reservations when opened for settlement, and that all lands not now patented come under this demand. Direct Legislation. •*16. We favor a system of direct legislation through the Initiative and referendum, under proper constitutional safeguards. General I'ropoHltlolis, "17. We demand the election of president, vice president and United States senators by a direct vote of the people. “IS. We tender to the patriotic people of Culm our deepest sympathy In their heroic Struggle for political freedom and Independence. and we believe the time has come when the United States, the great republic of the world, should recognize that Cuba Is and of right ought to be a free and Independent state. "19. We favor home rule In the territories and the District of Columbia, and

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "The week began with extreme depres»lon In stocks and speculative markets, owing to the heavy outgo of gold and the fall of the treasury reserve below the minimum. The populist and silver conventions caused some apprehension, and Lrge withdrawals of gold for hoarding were rather feared than seen. Then came a sharp recovery, with the union of banki tc turn J2<j,000,0u0 of gold Into the treasury and of International hankers to control foreign exchange. The produce markets have been seriously depressed, lard making the lowest quotations on record, corn sailing to 32 cents, wheat to CIH cents and cotton to 7.12 cents. Failures for the week have been 2S1 In the United States, against 202 last year, and 29 In Canada, cr - '.27 l-st year." i iaiisiieets snys: ‘'The Industrial situation Is somewhat more depressed, particularly In Iron and steel. Production Is materially curtailed among manufacturers of woolens and cottons as heretofore and In locomotive hardware, silver. Jewelry and lumber Industries. The principal activity In the dry goods trade appears to consist of preparations to show fall goods." WATERY GRAVES.
