BUTLER IS SATISFIED
>Popnlist National Chairman is Pleased
With the Outlook
*«AIS INDIANA IS SAFE FOR BRYAN
Tnere Prosp&ct Fair For the
Democratic Party
‘ A GREAT VICTOR/ IN NOVEMBER
While Onio, IHlaoia, Michigan, Minnesota
and lowa, With the Fusion Arranged, Can
Be Classed as Doubtful—Has Not Ro
ceived Watson’s Letter of Acceptance.
The Sitnation lu Georgia.
Washington, Oct. 16.-—Senator But
ler, chairman of the Populist national
committee, has returned from Chicago.
He expressed himself as satisfied with
the result of the meeting of the Popu
list executive committee and also with
* the general outlook.
“There are only four states," said he,
"in which fusion has not been arranged
—Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and
Tennessee. An adjustment will be
reached in Florida and Tennessee with
out doubt. So far as Georgia is con
cerned, the state will go either for
Bryan and Watson or Bryan and Sew
all. An adjustment in North Carolina
is difficult, because the Democrats re
jected several very fair propositions
which were made.
“Regarding the middle western states,
Ohio can be classed as doubtful, In
diana, with the fusion arranged, is safe
for Bryan and Illinois, Michigan, Min
nesota and lowa are in the balance. I
regard it as safe to Assume that the
chances are even in these states; that
two and the four will go for Bryan and
Sewall. Kentucky is safe.
“West Virginia and Maryland are
doubtful with • the chances, I think,
strongly in favor of Bryan in the former.
In Maryland, the result will depend
upon the Republican farmers. If there
is enough disaffection among them to
offset the gold Democratic defection iu
Baltimore, Bryan will carry the state.
For the population there is a greater
gold Democratic defection in Baltimore,
I think, than any city west of New
York.”
Has Not Received Watson’s Letter.
« Senator Butler stated at noon that he
had not received Mr. Watson’s letter of
acceptance, which the latter is quoted
as saying he had mailed to the senator
on Wednesday. Mr. Butler declined to
vdiscuss the probable character of the
' letter or to say whether he would give
out the letter when received, but his
friends say that it is probable that he
will not consider it his province to make
it public in case it should be received by
him before it should be given to the
press. They argue that it is customary
for the candidates themselve to make
public such documents and that there is
no question of etiquette involved.
Senator Butler and the national com
mittee are represented by a subcommit
tee consisting of Vice Chairman Wash
burn and Mr. Reed, the Georgia mem
ber, who are now on their way to Geor
gia, and they will be joined by other
members of the general committee in
case there is any call for their presence
for a conference.
The purpose of the visit is understood
to be to prevail upon Mr. Watson to ac
cept with good grace the general com
mittee’s address issued from Chicago
as the proper policy for the party, to
leave the detail of the party manage
ment to the committee and to cease his
public criticisms of the committee’s
course. -
Annoyed by Watson’s Attack.
Senator Butler does not admit that
there are differences between Mr. Wat
son and the party managers, but it is
no secret that the committee has felt
considerably annoyed by Mr. Watson’s
attack upon its fusion policy.
It is stated to be a mistake to con
clude, as appears to have been done in
some quarters, that the visiting com
mittee will make an effort to secure Mr.
Watson’s withdrawal from the contest
> or that the national committee is desir
ous of accomplishing this result. On the
contrary, it is their desire to keep Mr.
Watson’s name on the ticket as being
|| iu the best interest of Mr. Bryan and
• the Populist party.
There is some apprehension on the
part of some of the members, though
apparently it has not been shared by
Chairman But.er, that Mr. Watson
might carry his resenement against the
fusion policy to the extent of declining
the nomination or of putting his accept
ance on the condition that fusion iu
such states as Kansas and Colorado
should be arranged so as to include a
Watson representation, and apparently
this feeling still exists to a degree.
Senator Butler denies the story which
originated in Chicago that there has
been a personal difference between him
self and Vice Chairman Washburn, and
states that on the contrary the best pos
sible feeling exists between them.
* EUROPEAN CROP REPORT.
Wheat Practically Rained In Great llrlt
alii —Italy’s Excellent Showiiijj.
Washington, Oct. 16.—The European
reports of the agricultural department
issued by the chief statistician shows
that the crops of Great Britain have
been somewhat reduced in the north
and in Scotland by the wet weather of
September, which practically ruined
most of the wheat. In the southern
•counties harvesting operations were
completed before bad weather set in
and the wheat is of a finer milling
, ouality than has beeu known for yean.
THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
fifty million bushels would be a noerai
estimate for the product of Great Brit
ain.
France—There is no material loss in
wheat from bad harvest weather. The
barley crop is, however, somewhat
affected. The estimate as to the wheat
crop of the National Association of
French millers, issued last week, is
higher than the official estimate.
Germany—The wheat crop is a poor
average, except in Prussia, where it is
officially reported below the average.
The annual production of this cereal,
however, is small in comparison with
that of rye and potatoes. The estimate
of the rye crop, 316,000,000 bushels, is
considerably over the average and is be
lieved to be excessive. Potatoes are ex
pect dto give only half a crop. It may
be expected that the wheat import of
1996-07 will exceed the average, and
that a larger proportion than usual will
come from the United ’States. This
would, of cotirse, be nullified by any
considerable advance in the price of
wheat, a not unlikely contingency.
Denmark—Wheat is a good average.
The sowings of winter wheat are now
well along.
Spain—The estimate by the Hun
garian minister of agriculture of the
wheat crops of the world, he considered
that Spain would harvest 72,336,000
bushels. The deficit of the year is esti
mated by him to exceed 34,000,01)0 bush
els, more than double that of last year.
Austria-Hungary--Wheat average and
reports as to corn crop are now opti
mistic.
Italy—An average crop all around. ~
Roumanitf—The estimate is 69,600,000
bushels of wheat. The corn crop is ex
tremely disappointing, and the same
statement is made about all the Danu
bian countries. During the harvest
year ended July, 1895, these countries
shipped more corn to England than did
the United States, while during the
year just ended they cut a small figure.
Russia —There is a big deficiency in
the Russian wheat crop. The highest
estimate of the crop is 374,000,000 bush
els, the lowest under 300,000,000. The
general opinion is inclined toward the
lower.
GOLD MEN IN' BIRMINGHAM.
Generate Balmer aud Buckner Address a
Large aud Enthusiastic Audieuce.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct 16. Gen
erals Palmer and Buckner, the candi
dates for the presidency and vice presi
dency of the national Democratic party,
reached here at 4:30 a. m., being escorted
from Pulaski, Tenn., by a committee of
gold Democrats from this city, after be
ing met by a number of local gold lead
ers at the depot. A public reception
was held in the parlors of the hotel by
the candidates and their wives from 11
to 12 o’clock. It was largely attended.
Many old soldiers called to. pay their
respects.
At noon the candidates were escorted
to the opera house, where they spoke.
The building has a capacity of about
2,000. Every seat in it and every inch
of available standing room was taken.
Ladies occupied the boxes. The crowd
was very demonstrative and enthusias
tic. General F. S. Ferguson, com
mander of the Alabama Division of the
United Confederate veterans, presided
and introduced the speakers.
General Palmer opened by refuting
the charges that he had been cruel to
southern people while commanding at
Athens, Ga. He said he had never been
there. He denied the statement that
he voted for a force bill. He was not
iu congress at the time, and one of his
first votes when he got to the senate
was to vote for the repeal of the law.
He then launched into a discussion of
the campaign. General Buckner fol
lowed him. Both speakers were given
much applause.
A Negro Lynched Near Griffin.
Atlanta, Oct. 16. Miss Blanche
Gray, a young lady of fine family,
was going from a friend’s house to her
sister’s, in the northern part of Spald
ing county, late in the afternoon, when
a negro slipped up behind her and as
saulted her in a horrible manner. About
1 o’clock in the morning the negro,
Henry Miller, was caught and taken to
Griffin after being shot at and wounded.
While he was iu the hands of a phy
sician, a crowd took him to a grove,
where he was hung aud then shot to
death. The following placard was at
tached to his dead body: “Thus we de
fend our women from outrage.”
Pops Reject the Democratic Proposition.
Raleigh, Oct. 16.—The Populist state
committee has rejected the Democratic
proposition to fuse on state, congres
sional snd legislative tickets. The reas
ons given are, first, that owing to the
nearness of the election arrangements
could not be made on the other side and
therefore would not receive loyal sup
port: second, the Democrats iu August
ignored the proposition for a complete
fusion. Therefore the Populists sug
gests the voluntary withdrawal of the
Democratic nominee for governor with
the concentration of the forces on the
Populist nominee. The fusion contin
ues on the electoral ticket.
Policeman Roberts Is Dead.
Columbus, Ga., Oct. 16.—Policeman
Roberts, who was mortally wounded in
the tragedy in which James White and
two policemen were killed, has just died.
Henry White, young sou of James
White, who escaped while his father
was barricaded in his home, was cap
tured and secretly removed from the
county to prevent lynching.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, ROME, GA., SATURDAY OCTOBER 17, 1896.
BANK FAILS TO OPEN
A False Rumor Caused the Merchants
Bank to Close
DUE DEPOSITORS $275,000
Os Assignment Made to Ogles
by Winship and. Scott
TAX COLLECTOR’S BIG CHECKS
Say the Auets Will Pay All Deposltota.
Assignment Attributed to Rumor, to the
Effect That the State Tax Collector In
tended Withdrawing a Large Sum —Not
Likely to Affect Other Bank*.
Atlanta, Oct 16. —The Merchants’
bank of Atlanta failed to open its doors
Friday morning. The doors did not
swiug apart at 9 o'clock, aud at about
ten minutes thereafter the already gath
ered crowd read the following notice,
pasted upon the doors:
This bank has made an assignment to
J. G. Oglesby. George W. Scotland George
Winship. We believe the assets will pay
the depositors. The directors and officers
of the Merchants’ bank of Atlanta: An
drew J. Hansell. J. H. Porter. James R.
Wylie, George Winship, A. D. Adair, G.
B. Adair, T. L. Langston. R. M. Farrar.
Captain James R. Wylie, vice presi
dent, made the following statement:
“On account of withdrawals in the
past week and not having sufficient
quick assets to meet the demands that
have been made upon us, aud that we
expected that would be made upon us,
we deemed it to the interest of the de
positors, the stockholders aud all con
cerned to make an assignment. We
believe the assets of the bank will pay
all depositors. We have assigned to
Messrs. Oglesby, G. W. Scott and
George Winship. These gentlemen are
now in charge of the bank. A state
ment will be furnished to the public
just as soon as the assignees can have it
made up.”
Captain Wylie stated that the bank
owed depositors approximately 1275,000.
The failure of the bauk is attributed
to rumors which have been afloat all the
present week, to the effect that County
and State Tax Collector Andrew Stew
art, who had a large amount of money
on deposit with the bank, had sought to
check it out and had beeu importuned
by officers of the bank to let it remain
longer. Stories to this effe-t had been
published in out-of-town papers.
The rumor had no foundation in fact.
According to the statement, both of the
officers of the bank and Mr. Stewart,
all checks of Mr. Stewart’s hud been
promptly paid.
The failure of the Merchants’ bank
will not affect any other bank in At
lanta. Mr. J. G. Oglesdy, one of the
assignees, said:
“The Merchants’ bank does not owe
a cent to any other city bauk. There
ought not to be any trouble with any
other bank resulting from the assign
ment of the Merchants’ bank."
AMERICA AT BRUSSELS.
Our Exhibit to Be In Every Way Worthy
of the Country.
Washington, Oct. 16.—Secretary Ol
ney has appointed Dr. James Howard
Gore of the Columbian university, and
Mr. Thomas Wilson, curator of the na
tional Museum, United States Commis
sioners to the International exposition
to be opened in Brussels on April 24,
1897. The commissioners are empow
ered to send an exhibit in every way
worthy of this country and on the lines
followed in the specimens sent to the
Paris exposition.
An effort will be made to have the de
partment of agriculture furnish a com
plete bureau of animal industry and of
forestry. In the cause of emigration a
unique advertisement of the merits of
the country will be a chemical analysis
of the soil of each state and the par
ticular form of industry adapted to its
climate. The iron manufacturers will
also occupy a conspicuous and import
ant position in-the exhibit.
Dr. Gore was the 'representative of
this government at the expositions at
Antwerp and Amsterdam and a mem
ber of the jury of awards at the World’s
Fair and the Atlanta exposition. Mr.
Wilson is one of the most eminent sci
entists of America and was formerly
consul at Ghent and at Nantes.
MICHIGANDERS HEAR HIM.
Candidate Bryan Speak, at Muekegon, Hol
land and Other Small i’laoe*.
Holland, Mich., Oct. 16.—William
J. Bryan, the nominee of three political
parties for the presidency, began work
ing comparatively late. Through some
oversight the schedule did not have a
stop before 8 o’clock, when the train ar
rived in Holland but f aring that this
would give the candidate too much rest
it was arranged that ho speak at Mus
kegon at 8 o’clock.
At Muskegon a goodly crowd had
gathered, although the meeting could
not be arranged for until late Thursday.
The citizens of the place, however, dur
ing the night had erected a stand near
the depot from which Mr. Bryan was
to speak.
They cheered him heartily when,
with Mrs. Bryan, he emerged from the
car and during his discussion of the
manner in which bimetallism would
regulate values, he was liberally ap
plauded. He said that the mint privi
lege for silver would appreciate the price
of siLvcr.and referred; to the fact »>at
beTore 1873, when •silver was delnoae
tized, the bullion in a silver dollar was
worth 51.03.
When t ’e nominee arrived here, there
, was a large crowd who gave demon
i strative prdof of their approval of the
few words that he said in the short
stop. They cheered him repeatedly and
assured him that he was all right in a
- manner that must have been convinc-
I ing. He said to them that the Demo
cratic party did not in its platform in
dorse the gold idea, but said that bi
metallism was better.
They were apparently all of one mind
here, for not a dissenting voice was
raised to his propositions and when at
1 the beginning of his few remarks he
said in his five minutes’ stop he did not
know what he would say that would
changertheir minds on the money ques
tion, they assured him they did not
want their minds changed, as they were
on the right side and on election day
would*be supporting him.
He told them if he knew what they
wanted him to talk about, he would ad
i dress them on that subject, and one man
said:
"Some tell us that we would have a
' 53-cent dollar.”
Mr. Bryan told them that no one ac
cused the silver dollar of being a 53-cent
dollar until after silver was demonetized
and a monopoly of mint privileges given
1 to gold.

TALKS OF BIS MISSION TO EUROPE
The Is No Question Now of ■
Expulsion
BY THE AUTHORITIES OF FRANCE
I
Says It Has Been More Succeesful Than (
He Anticipated—Never Had Any Idea of
Doing the Queen or Cxar Any Harm —Pre- <
diets the Early Downfall of the British (
Empire—For Independent Republic.
New York, Oct. 16.—A special to The
Heralad from Boulogne-Sur-Mor says:
P. J. Tynan is a free man. His release i
was unconditional. There is no ques
tion of expulsion from French territory
or surveillance. He will go to Paris at
once aud will sail for New York or
Cherbourg by the next steamer. He
is apparently none the worse for his 33
days detention. In fact, he says that
he has had a fairly good time, the offi- <
cials having treated him with every
consideration. Tynan sent two cable
grams, one to his wife at Audubon
Park, telling of his release; the other to
William Lynan, treasurer of the Irish
National League of America. In an in
terview he said:
“Whatever the nature of my mission
to Europe was, it has been more suc
cessful than I anticipated. I look for
ward to the establishment in the near
future of an independent Irish republic.
The object of. my visit was not what
was attributed to it by the press. There
was never any idea or a plot against the
czar, aud there was never an idea x>f
doing any injury to the queen of Great
Britain, poor old lady! That’s an ab
surdity. We Irishmen have nothing to
do with things of that sort. We are
honorable in our warfare. As for the
czar, I would myself stand between him
and danger, as I would danger and my
own son. Exactly what the nature of
my mission was I cannot say, but I may
tell you this: lam no believer in the
anarchistic ideas of the general destruc
tion of persons and property. If you
are the father of a family, as I am, yon
would rest assured that no harm can
come to any of your children from an
act of mine. I would not hurt a hair
of a dog in the stnaet.
“I believe in dynamite as a weapon
of war, and we Irish Nationalists are at
war with Great Britain. The Irish peo
ple proved their union at Chicago last
October, when I was a delegate to the
convention there, by establishing a na
tional alliaqce, a public organization for
the establishment of an Irish republic.
The object of the alliance is pl i inly
stated, and it means to attain that ob
ject, it is equally plainly stated, by
force. I include dynamite and every
other method of warfare in force just
as the Unitea States includes-the Zalin
i ski gun.
"Talking of dynamite, the first .use of
it known in history was the blowing up
by the English of the the Bassuto chief
Soecichinis, in a cave, when 1,000 men,
women and babies were blown to atoms.
“I will say that I visited Gibraltar
and probably other places, where, after
the British government knew anything
of my movements, I should not be at
liberty now. That shows how.absard
is the statement that I was shadowed
by British detectives ever since I left
New York. The night before my arrfest
I saw that my valise had been tampered
with.
“1 think one of the most important
matters for the canse of Ireland is a
proner propaganda to let the European
nations know that while the British
flag covers one inch of Irish soil, Irish
men will never cease latent or active
hostility against the rule of the alien
government which is cunningly and
maliciously depopulating Ireland. I
think my arrest has done some good by
way of making people of France take
an interest in the seven centuries of the
struggle of the Irish race for freedom.”
Then Tynan spoke for a considerable
time on the subject of the hour. A
25-mile ditch, he said, alone was be
tween England and an invasion by a
French army, and 100,000 men could
sweep through. The British army, he
asserted, is composed of the riffraff of
the cities, while its inefficiency is the
laughing stock of the experts of conti
nental Europe. Russia, he said, is mov
ing on India and the downfall of the
British Empire, with Macaulay’s proph
ecy of the New Zealander on the ruins
of London bridge, would undoubtedly
be realized by the present generation.
Regarding Bell, Kearnev and Haines,
Tynan would say nothing one way or
the other.
A GREAT CIGARETTE DEAL.

PUNCH BOWL FOR CRUISER.
Testimonials For the Raleigh From the
Citizens of North Carolina.
Wilmington, N. C., Oct. 16 —Pilots
report that there was over 23 feet of
water on the bar at the mouth of the
Cape Fear river when the United States
cruiser Raleigh crossed, drawing 19 feet
■8 inches, on her way to Southport to re
ceive the testimonials given the ship by
citizens of North Carolina.
The presentation took place on board
the cruiser. Governor Carr and mem

ladies and gentlemen from Wilmington,
including representatives of the cham
ber of commerce and board of aider

The presentation speech was made by
Captain S. A. Ashe, and responded to
by Captain Miller, commander of the
Raleigh. The visitors were then shown
through the ship and partook of a lun
cheon, at which the silver punch bowl
was a prominent feature.
AFTER AUGUSTA’S STREETS.
Railroads Agree to Pay a Large Sum of
Money to Use Thoroughfares.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 16 —The several
railroads entering Augusta were repre
sented at a conference between the city
council, merchants and manufacturers
in reference to a contract between the
city and railroads for the nse of certain
streets.
The Southern, the Augusta aud Port
Royal and the Port Royal and Western
Carolina and the Central of Georgia
agreed to pay the city a Lonus of SIOO,-
000 for the use of certain streets for 30
years, and not to charge merchants and
manufacturers more than $2 per car for
the transfer of freight from one road to
another, and to make free deliveries to

London, Oct. 16.—Edward J. Ivory,
alias Bell, the alleged Irish dynamiter,
was again brought up on remand at the

mand, which was opposed by counsel

the prisoner had already damaged his
business in New York, and that there
was no evidence against him. The
magistrate, however, remanded the
prisoner, remarking in so doing that
there was considerable evidence against
him.
