GOLD DELEGRATES APPOINTED.
New Haven, August S. A meeting
of the prominent gold standard Dem
ocrats of Connecticut, each congres
slonal district being represented, was
held In this city today for the pur
pose of appointing delegates to the
gold stantdard Democratic meeting at
Indianapolis August 7, and to discuss
the advisability of holding holding a
gold standard convention.
MR. COCHRAN
EXPLAINS IT
His View a Kenard to a Third
Tlekct, Should One be
Named.
PREFERS A DIRECT METHOD
Costemplatcd .Merely the Asseabliag of
Cosvestiua to Adopt t Gessisely
Dcnocrstic riattora aad .Vrni
sate .IcKinle Electors.
New York. August 3. Hon. Bourke
Cochran was asked today If he would
support a third ticket If one was nam
ed, notwithstanding the views express
ed In his Interview published yester
day. He said:
"It a convention be held at which
all Democrats can be represented, who
believing that the party was betrayed
at Chicago are determined that It
shall not perish for the lack .of effi
cient organization, and If a free Inter
change of opinion be had among Its
members, I should be strongly Inclin
ed to accept Its decision.
"I think It more Important that the
Democratic opponents of Bryan should
be united In one movement than that
any particular form of co-operation
should be adopted. It Is assumed
that the plan suggested by me contem
plated merely the assembling of a
convention which shall adopt a gen
uinely Democratic platform, nominate
McKlnley electors and stop there.
When I said that the Democrats meet
ing In such a convention as I suggest
ed, while nominating McKlnley elect
ors, would provide for a really Dem
ocratic opposition to the McKlnley ad
ministration during the period of Its
existence. I thought It would be clear
that I meant a substantial and effect
ive opposition. Every Democrat who
refuses to support the Chicago plat
form regards the defeat of the absurd
propositions which Bryan stands as
the paramount Issue of the campaign,
and since the simplest and most ef
fective method of accomplishing that
result is to nominate McKlnley elect
ors, I believe In following that course.
In a contest of this character I be
lieve the people would prefer a direct
to an indirect method of expressing
their abhorrence of communistic pop
ulism and anarchy. With Bryan and
his socialistic program disposed of the
opposition to McKlnley and McKlnley
Ism would become the duty of the
Democratic party."
AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
What Politicians In Washington Have
to Say.
Washington, August S. Chairman
Jones, of the Democratic national
committee, was busy at spare mo
ments with a mass of mall. One of
the members connected with the com
mittee says the correspondence is un
precedented. One veteran said that
In a service of twenty-four years he
had never seen such a rush and he
claimed that the letters show consid
erable defection due to silver.
At Republican headquarters a large
working force Is busy. It Is stated that
public Interest In politics as Indicated
by the extent of the mall Is unpre
cedented. The most varied suggestions
are offered. Many campaign poems
and songs with music are offered. A
letter received from Louisiana assures
the committee there are strong hopes
of carrying that state for McKlnley.
At the silver headquarters a number
of interesting letters were received
today. One from the mayor of La
crosse asked for a supply of German
and Scandinavian literature and add
ed that the silver movement was mak
ing rapid progress In that locality.
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, today
said: "In the present campaign I will
aid Senator Jones In every way pos
sible, but under no circumstances
would I assume the duties of chairman
CAPTAIN HARRIS DEAD.
At Ilwaco Sunday afternoon Cap
tain A. T. Harris, formerly of the Fort
Canby Life Saving Crew, died of In
flammation of the . bowels, after an
illness of only tour days. His death

this coast. His life was one of useful
ness and while stationed at Fort Can
by he was the means of saving many
lives. The funeral will take place
at Fort Canby today.

war material and many great corpora
tion and firms were represented at
the war and navy department this
afternoon when bids were opened for
supplying a large quantity of gun car
riages, mortars, shot and shell of va
rious sizes and kinds. Probably not
since the late war has the ordnance
bureau of the war department been
able to lay out so extensive a pro
gram for one .year's work as Is nosr
made possible by .the liberal appro
priations made by congress for de
fense of the sea coasts. Consequently
there were many bidders for supplying
the large quantity of material, raw
and complete. Included In the first call
for proposals and It was a noticeable
fact that In the list of bidders were
nam"i of firms, mainly from the West,
that have never before had business
relations with the war department

The Chinese statesman considers, the

therefor reproaches) England with
waning friendship and contends that
China waa taken by surprise when

cede to China the right to make a
substantial addition to the duties)
charged under the treaty between
them upon goods entering Chinese

that this increasee In China's revenues)
