Xewlands, of Nevada, was introduced by Dr. Mott as temporary chairman and proceeded to make his address. In opening he referred to the republican declaration for virtual gold monometallism and to the democrat ic expression in favor of free silver coinage. Then he lauded Mr. ryan in strong words, after which he dwelt on President Cleveland's financial policy, which the democratic convention had repudiated, and expressed especial pleasure at the democratic declaration against further tariff agitation, lie referred briefly to the other issues in the democratic platform as nonessentials, lie then denied that it was iutended to pay debts with 50-cent dollars or to debase the currency, but declared that it was the purpose to raise value and diminish the strain on gold and restore the old bimetallic unit of value.

Kansas City, Mo, July 2o More than 2.000.000 bushels of corn have been sold by Kansas City grain men since Monday morning for delivery within the next fortnight The business has gone to the front with such a bound that even old grain men are surprised. The free movement was caused by the marked reduction in freight rates and the fact that an enormous new crop is now assured. It is thought there is in Kansas 000 bushels in cribs along the railroad lines and many times that number in the interior part of the country that will be kept and fed. That portion of the surplus along the railroad lines if sold at prevailing prices will bring over 1,000,000 to be put out among the farmers of the state. A PARDON GRANTED BY GOV.
KEXFROW. Guthrie, July 23. Gov. Hen-frow yesterday granted a pardon to William D. Halfill, a well known attorney of Xewkirk, formerly of Win-field, who was sent to the penitentiary for five years for issuing a check on a bank in which he had no account.

About this time, some shrewd middle-of-the-roader thought he discovered that the refusal to turn on the lights was part of a scheme of the Bryan people to prevent the straight-out element from controlling. This suspicion that the lights were out in the interest of a faction, as they were turned out at the Cincinnati convention in 1876 ly the opponents of Mr.
Blaine, aroused a storm of protests, and the middle-of-the-roaders were charging about in the dark to discover the cause of the unprecedented situation. "It's a scheme of the Bryan men," the Texas delegation shouted. Bv this time the aisles were choked with delegates, pushing and their way about in the dark. There began to be some apprehension of some sudden alarm which might stampede the delegates and cause a disaster, and the leaders began discussing the advisability of ail jiHirning the convention until this morning. The band, under instructions, kept up a constant fusillade of MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

The accumulated stock is in the shape of coin, bearing the stamp of various governments, and it is absurd to assume that the owners of such coin will send it here simply to receive the American stamp. Silver coin it is and silver coin it would remain. There is no surplus anywhere in the shape of bullion for the bullion in the treasury vaults is constructively coined, and is rerrescntcd by silver cerlilicates and treasury notes now in circulation.
The current product of the mines is now all absorbed in current uses in the arts, in coinage, and for other purposes. Any demand that we create would be a new demand and would have a tenderu-y to increase the value of the current product. Mr. Xewlands combatted the claim that free coinage would unduly increase silver production and suggested royalties as a means of checking too great outputs. He declared that the manufacturers of the country now opposed to free silver would soon see that bimetallism was to their interest, and closed: They will realize that their prosperity is based upon the general prosperity of the entire country and that the prosperity of this country cannot continue so long as debtor and producing nations recognize gold as the only money metal and by their action build up its value and increase its control over the products of labor.
This campaign is to open up au era of education and in this work the silver party enters, animated by no sectional spirit, controlled by no feciiug of envy against the more prosperous, but inspired bv the desire to maint lin a bro.id. American policy which shall protect the interests of American production, whether in the mining camps of the mountains, the wheat fields of the west, the cotton fields of the south or the factories of New England. Hut let us remember always in this contest that union is strength, and that the motto of our opponents is now, as it has always been: 'Divide and Conquer."

This is mere conjecture, however. At all events the practically joint action of the New York banks and of the gold exporting houses is regarded as of the first importance and is expected to cause a decided change for the better in the situation.
By September the first grain and cotton bills will be in the market to a sufficient extent to exert an important favorable influence on the market.

He la bong to roko afternoon a Bryan caucus was held at which it was claimed delegates out of 1,303 registered. While this may be an exaggeration, it is conceded eve by the middle-of-the-road men that Bryan will receive the indorsem*nt of the convention, with votes to spare. Yesterday the great fight was in the direction of saving Sewall. The revolt against him took Chairman Jones, of the democratic national committee, by surprise. All day the Bryan leaders were scurrying in and out of his room at the l'lanters' hotel to secure votes enough to carry the democratic nominee for vice president over the danger mark.
Having virtually conceded the nomination of Bryan, the middle-of-the-road fellows are directing all their batteries at Sewall. But in spite of their assaults, Sewall has. been gaining ground. If the had been taken yesterday morning he would have been snowed under by 300 majority. If it is taken to-day he may be nominated.

Despite the heavy movement of corn from Kansas points now in progress the railroad men are not as yet apprehensive of a car famine. There may be a scarcity for a few days, but the lines are hard at work getting in shape to meet all demands. Many of the transportation lines are in a position to lease their cars for emergency use in case such a step should be necessary. The western lines are all in good condition so far as equipment is concerned, and the managers feel that they can render prompt service on all urgent shipments. The cities of Wichita, Clay Center, Morganville, Peabody, Salina and a dozen others are doing a land office business in corn.

The south and the west had joined hands. He described the various campaigns through which the party had passed in various states, the hardships endured, the flings and ridicule to which they had been subjected, and declared it had triumphed, had at last torn the mask from the old parties. Some weeks ago the republican party had been forced to align itself with the moneyed kings of Wall street and Europe.
The democratic party athicago was driven to the alternative of siding with gold or the people. They were so frightened that, in their desperation, they finally committed grand and petty larceny, stealing the populist platform and trying to steal into the populist party. This statement set the convention wild. Mr. Butler pleaded for the maintenance of the organization of the people's party.
