ri r i i r I III M- 111! TOPEKA, KANSAS, JULY 14, 1896. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. MAY DIVVY UP. If Populists and Democrats Are Going to Fuse On the National Electoral Tick et In This Campaign WHAT AlvE THE PLANS Tor the Division of the State Offices Peffer Says an Arrangement According to Tote Cast Might Be Looked On as Enough. Fair Considerable speculation is going on In regard to what kind of a. fusion or 'amalgamation" is likely to be made between the Populists and Democrats on the state ticket, since there are pros pects of fusion on the national ticket. That a fusion will occur was freely udmitted by leading men In both par ties prior to the Chicago convention and now since Bryan's nomination the same leaders still talk in favor of com bination but are exceedingly foxy as to terms and are evidently fencing for position. The Populist central committee set their state convention for a late date and recommended at the same time that the primaries be held on August 1. only a few days before the conven tion. This was evidently done with the idea that just such a situation as has come to pass might present itself; and with a hope that in case the national convention at St. Louis should .endorse or nominate a candidate that would be acceptable to the silver element every where that the silver men in Kansas, both Democrats and Republicans would then turn out to the Populist primaries and make such a showing that the Populist convention would be able to name the entire ticket. But since the Chicago convention and the return of the Kansas delegation many stories are being circulated as to the Democrats being desirous of hav ing some representation on the fusion ticket. Atwood is talked of for congress in the First district and it is whispered that Martin will be a candidate for the senate against Peffer, and David Overmyer is spoken of for several offi ces. Whether any credit can be given to any of these rumors or not is a mat ter of some doubt. One thing is cer tain, the leading Populists are giving the matter some thought. Senator Peffer said to a Journal re porter: "I do not know whether any ar rangement has been made between the leaders of the parties or not. I am not in a position where I would be likely to know. Others would probably know more than I do, but in case such a move were to be made and a union of forces made, I think an agreement as to offi ces based on the vote cast by the re spective parties would be fair." "Bob" Semple, secretary of the Popu list state central committee said: "Much depends on what our party does at St. Louis. Xothing has been done in regard to the matter as yet so far as I know. If the Populist conven tion should nominate or endorse Bryan we will be in a position to ask a great deal at the hands of the Democrats in this state. The sentiment in our party in this state, so far as I can learn is in favor of Bryan and I think we shall be able to all agree on electors for Bryan regardless of the action of the St. Louis convention. "As far as congressman in the First district is concerned our party sup ported a Democrat there once before and we might do it again, however, I don't think anything can be determined till later, when we see the action of our convention at St. Louis." RANKIN MASON SUITED. Not Alarmed at the Platform and Suited With, the Candidate. Rankin Mason, deputy United States district attorney, has returned home from the Chicago convention and seems to be well satisfied with the result. To a Journal reporter he said: "The nomination is a good one. Of course we cannot expect it to be re ceived as enthusiastically back east as it will in the west and south. I think that the eastern Democrats will sup port the ticket however: if they do not and there is a third ticket put in the field, there will be a good chance of carrying Xew York for Brvan. The convention was one of the most won derful ever held in this country. The enthusiasm displayed was remaVkable, the platform will be received by the people with favor and they will sweep the country carrying every state in the west and south. The financial question is bound to come to the front, the peo ple want it settled and they now have a chance to express their opinion on it squarely. Thij.- tariff question as it is understood both of the parties will not cut muca figure in this campaign. When the Republicans talk about tar iff for protection and the Democrats speak of tariff for revenue they both mean about the same thing. "Some of the people have spoken of Bryan as being too young to fill the po sition, but when you consider that Mr Carlisle had enough faith in Brvan to appoint him a member of the ways and means committee six years ago and the further fact that he served on that committee with honor to himself and credit to the party I don't think any one can doubt of his abilitv to fill the office of president when he'is elected." MOULDING"V7ESTERN OPINION A New York Drummer Meets the To peka Hayseeds and Falls Below. It has been many years since there has been so much political excitement on the streets of Topeka as there is now. The storm center is at Sixth street and Kansas avenue and almost every moment of the day little knots of men day be Been in animated discussion. The financial question has been settled over and over again but as soon as a new enthusiast approaches it is re opened. This morning a drummer wearing eye glasses on his large Roman nose got into one of these crowds in front o the Bank of Topeka. He was a gold bug of the deep dyed kind and he came up with an easy confident air as if he could annihilate any western "free sil ver hayseed" as they are affectionate ly called in New York, with a few words. An old man with a box under his arm and his hands black with grease happened to be in the way of the haughty drummer. "You silver people are all repudia tionists," said he. "You are sapping the country of its life blood. My firm has just written me to be careful about extending credit in the west." "Well what do you want?" meekly required the old man. "We don't want you to destroy our credit abroad." "We think out here that America is able to take care of herself without making any concessions to Great Brit ain," replied the workman. "But we owe them "Then let them take their pay in American money. If it is good enough for us and they don't like it let them refuse to make any debts here. We can get along without them." "You are all crazy, "replied the drum mer as he rushed out of the crowd fol lowed by the applause of the crowd which a policeman who came up just then dispersed with threats of arrest. Similar experiences are occurring every few minutes. THE PLUMBS BOLT. Relatives of the Late Senator Plumb Leave the Party. Emporia, July 14. The Gazette says: "A. U. Plumb, eldest son of Senator Plumb, made the first payment on his contribution to the Bryan campaign fund today. Mr. Plumb believes that the free silver sentiment will be as strong in the east as in the west. Geo. Plumb is frank in saying that if Senator Plumb were alive he would walk out with Teller. Probably if Senator Plumb were alive there would have been no reason for the walk out." BRYAN AT MIS OLD H03IE. Attends to Some Business and Goes to Centralia Tonight Salem, 111., July 14. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, like the inhabitants of this town, were weary this morning. They rested until after 9 o'clock and going up to breakfast they had spring chick en and potatoes and blackberries grown in the yard of his sister's home. With them at breakfast were J. W. Baird and his wife, Mr. Bryan's sister and Misses Nannie and Mamie Bryan, two attractive looking young women who have just finished their college education. After breakfast Mrs. Bry an remained at home while Mr. Bryan went to the court house to attend to some business of his mother's estate. At dinner time Mr. Bryan, his wife and two unmarried sisters went to the home of their aunt, Mrs. D. S. Marshall and in the afternoon he drove about the town and out to Vie old farm upon which his father .-".ved during the last years of his life. Mr. Bryan himself is a member of the Presbyterian church but his father was a Baptist and according to Col. Thomas E. Merritt, who in the early days stumped the the county with him, be lieved there was no salvation for a man unless he was baptized by immersion. But there were not enough Baptists in the town to support a preacher reg ularly and so it was that services were only held in the Baptist church twice a month and in that way it came to pass, that Wm. J. Bryan attended the Presbyterian services and finally became a member of that church. It has been arranged that Mr. Bryan shall drive over to Centralia, 12 miles southwest of here, where a demonstra tion will be given tonight. It was Mr. Bryan's wish to remain quiet today but the people of Centralia had made all the arrangements for a display in his honor and he finally consented to go. A big demonstration will be held tomor row night. Governor Altgeld has been advertised as one of the principal speakers. MILLS CLOSING DOWN. Over a Million Spindles in the South Will ba Stopped. Fall River, Mass., July 14. A circu lar letter received from T. H. Martin, secretary of the Southern Textile asso ciation, yesterday stated that of the 2, 500,000 spindles in the south 1,320,000 will be stopped for varying terms.

The silverites of the state met in convention at Flynn's hall. Thirty-five delegates will be selected to the St. Louis convention as bimet allists. They will all be for Bryan. The Bridge Bonds. The Shawnee county bridge bonds were taken to Chicago today by County Commissioner Scott Kelsev. He will turn them over to H. C. Speer, the pur chaser, and the money for them will be brought to Topeka as soon as the transfer is made. Ayefs Ague Cure is warranted spe cific for all malarial diseases and bil iary derangements. WILL THEY INDORSE? Dr. Mott of the Silver Forces, Is Non-Committal. Says, However, Many Promi nent Silver Men Like Bryan. DIVIDE THE TOTES. A Kentuckian Thinks Division of Electoral College Likely. Believes That the Populists May Nominate Teller. St. Louis, July 14. Dr. J. J. Mott, sec retary of the Bimetallic League of America, returned here from Chicago today and secured rooms at the Lin dell hotel during the coming conven tion for Senator Stewart of Nevada, Congressman Newlands, William P. St. John of New York and others. He was asked if the bimetallic national convention would indorse Bryan. He said: "As one of the officers of the Bi metallic league, I don't think it would be altogether proper for me to under take to forecast what it will do. I know, however, that Mr. Bryan is a great favorite with many men promi nent in the league." L. K. Taylor of Paducah, Ky., mem ber of the Populist national commit tee and editor of the Paducah Herald, was here to engage quarters for the Kentucky delegation and 300 visitors to the national convention. When questioned as to Kentucky Populists' choice for president he said: "I can't say further than that they did want Teller and hoped that the Chicago con vention would nominate hirm, so they could have indorsed him." "Will the Populists indorse Bryan when they meet here next week?" he was asked. "They may, but I doubt it, because we have to maintain our party organ isation. Wre may nominate Teller and agree to divide our electoral tickets on the basis that the strongest man win after the general result is known. This is feasible and. after all, it looks as if it would be but the indorsement of Bryan, as he would most likely be the beneficiary." SHOT ATM. FAURE. An Attempt Made to Assassinate the President of France. Paris, July 14. An attempt was made to assassinate President Faure today. The president had gone to Long Champs to review the troops. He had no sooner entered the field when a man in the crowd stepped forward and fired a revolver at him. The shot did not take effect. The would-be assass in was at once arrested. He declared that he had only fired a blank cart ridge and that he had no intention of killing the president. When it became known in the crowd at Long Champs that the president had riot been hurt by the pistol shot, the greatest enthusiasm was manifested. Cheer after cheer was sent up and the people could scarcely be restrained by the guards from crowding about the place where the president and his suite were standing. 3IR. INGALLS FOR M'KINLEY Is President of the Big Four Railroad and a Democrat. Cincinnati, July 14. President M. E. Ingalls, of the Big Four and Chesa peake Ohio railways, returned from the east yesterday and in an interview said: "Much as I regret it, I shall sup port McKinley. I believe in his elec tion lies the only hope of the future of this country." Mr. Ingalls is one of the leading Democrats of the state. He drew up the state platform at the' Democratic state convention last year when Sena tor Brice was chairman of the conven tion. Neither he nor Brice attended the state convention this year. Ingalls denounces the platform for reflecting on the supreme court and for violat ing contracts payable in gold in the fu ture as well as for its free coinage plank. TO TOTE FOR M'KINLEY. J. Edward Simmons of New York Leaves the Democratic Party. New York. July 14. J. Edward Sim mons, president of the Fourth National bank, a life long Democrat, has come out in opposition to the Chicago plat form and ticket. He said: "I nave no hesitation in saying that I intend to vote for McKinley and I believe it to be the duty of every sound money Democrat to do the same in order to concentrate the vote of honest men in both parties against the revolutionary platform and ticket adopted at Chicago. "I have been a Democrat all my life and never cast a Republican ballot be fore, but I place my country above my party, patriotism and partisanship, and although grieved beyond measure by the necessity of parting from the political organization to which I have always belonged, I cannot, now accept the anarchistic and revolution ary doctrines which have been pro claimed by the Chicago convention." GEN. ARTZ INCORPORATES. Organizes a Zinc Company and Files a Charter. The public has long been kept in suspense as to what "Gineral" Artz was doing out in that hole in the ground in western Kansas. Today the charter of the Smoky River Zinc Mining company was field. Its purpose is to buy and sell real es tate, mine for minerals and oil in Trego, Ellis. Gove, Scott, Logan. Ness and Wallace counties. The capital is $1,250, 000. The people who organize the com pany are F. J. Kellogg, Walter OaJtley, R. G. Martin. U. B. McCurdy, E. W. Poindexter, H. H. Artz, J. M. Baird, T. J. Gregory and J. H. Fordice. SAYS INDORSE BRYAN. J. H. Turner, Secretary of Populist Committee, Declares It's the Only Course. Washington, July 14. J. H. Turner, who for the last four years has been secretary of the national committee of the People's Party, in a signed state ment urges Populists to support Bry an for president. He writes: "The result of the late national Democratic convention is undoubtedly the triumph of Populism. A large por tion of the voters in the Poplist party in the south and west were originally Democrats, and left the old party be cause it was dominated in every na tional convention by fee eastern Dem ocrats who represented Wall street and the monopolists of New York and New England. "It became quite evident to every thinking man that as New York was al lowed to make the platform and name the candidate of the Democratic party that the great plain people would have no show and that iheir rights and wishes would always be ignored. Be lieving this the thinking men among the rank and file deternSined to quit the old party and organize a. new party. "The Democratic party at Chicago simply purged itself, reorganized itself and came out for true Democracy, and to all intents and purposes substituted the People's Party platform for the old platform that the party has been using for years and which was dic tated and foisted upon the people by the gold bugs of the east. Mr. Bryan, the nominee of the convention, is a man who fits the platform. I have personally watched his course for ft, number of years and know that his ev ery impulse has been against the op pressors of the people and in behalf of the great masses. "For more than two years he has acted with the Populists of his own state. It cannot be successfully de nied that the principles advocated by the Populist party have captured the Democratic party and have driven out of its ranks that element which has al ways been opposed to true Democracy and which from the beginning has been affiiliated with the Republican party at its natural home. All Populists in these United States should rejoice that their principles have taken such a hold upon the American people that one of the great political parties has been compelled to adopt those princi ples and nominate a ticket pledged to carry them into execution. "If the Populists think more of their principles than they do of mere party organizaaion, they will be compelled to unite with forces going in the same direction and thereby rescue our coun try from all the dire calamities which we have predicted would befall it, should the gold standard be perma nently fastened upon us." "As secretary of the national com mittee of the People's Party for the last four years, I have labored in sea son and out of season for the upbuild ing of our party. I love the associa tions which I have formed in its ranks, but while these are dear to me, the principles of the People's Party are much dearer. I ftfel that I would be one of the worst enemies of the Peo ple's Party and of its principles should I not take the step at this time that I believe will culminate in the complete triumph of every demand made by the party. "We have advocated a union of the south and west in order that we might bring about the necessary financial re forms. Now we have a chance of bringing all our hopes and desires to a grand consummation. "The truth of it is that the only point the Populists now have to decide is whether or not they will take Mr. Bryan, whom every gold bug in the country has denounced as a Populist, for our next president of the United States, or whether they will take Mr. McKinley. who represents everything that the Populists have denounced and just the opposite of everything they have advocated since they have been a party." BLOODTHIRSTY. E. Ellery Anderson Wants an Excuse to Shoot Free Silver Men. New York, July 14. Commenting on the result of the Chicago convention E. Ellery Anderson, ex-president of the Reform club, says in a communication to the New York Morning Journal: "Concerning the platform, it may be as well that a revolutionist like Bryan stands upon it. We want them with red flags, so that there will be provoca tion for shooting them down." Prcfiibition State Convention. The Prohibition state convention is called to meet in this city tomorrow. There was a meeting of the state cen tral committee called for 2 p. m. today at the Fifth Avenue hotel, but up to half past 2 none of the committee had appeared. F. M.

A Traveling Man Knocks Down a Preacher On a Union Pacific Train Near Topeka. A PANIC IN THE CAR. The Preacher Gets Mnch the Worst of the Fight. The Traveling Man Placed Un der Arrest at Topeka. There was a panic on the smoking car on the Union Pacific west bound train due here about noon today, when it pulled up at Perry, 15 miles east of Topeka. The panic was due to a fight, in which J. R. Elliott, a traveling sales man for the Deering Harvesting Co., knocked down and pummeled a colored preacher from Lawrence, named Green. Mr. Elliott was on his way to Clay Center. At Perry a number of people got on the train, and seats were scarce. One of the last ones to board the ear was Mr. Green, a colored preacher with a dignified air and lots of small bag gage. He stopped opposite the seat oc cupied by Mr. Elliott and demanded that the drummer give up a space to him to seat himself. Mr. Elliott did so, making room by putting his valises un der the seat. Then the Lawrence preacher said he guessed he would turn the seat over. "No you won't," said Mr. Elliott. "Well, we will see about that," put in the reverend man. "You will not turn that seat over. If the conductor says so, I'll do it, but not before." "Then someone across the aisle offer ed the Reverend Mr. Green a seat and the latter turned to Mr. Elliott and in his haughtiest tones, said: "I am glad to see that there is one gentleman in the car." By this time there was much excite ment in the car. Passengers began to crowd around the two men. "You are no gentleman; you are a cur," said the colored man, but he had not finished his threat when Mr. Elliott, who is a large muscular man, hit the preacher fairly between the eyes. Mr. Green staggered and Mr. Elliott hit him again. Then there was a clinch and the car shook with the fall of the two men. Mr. Elliott held his man down and punished him severely until the latter pleaded for mercy. Colored men rushed onto the train and carried out the bruised preacher, and the train started on its way west ward. The fight caused great excite ment in -the little town. The mayor telephoned to Topeka to arrest the traveling man at the depot when the train should arrive. The town mar shal of Perry, Henry James, was on board the train. Patrolmen McDowell and Lucas re ceived the telephone message and hur ried to the Santa Fe junction to board the train. They climbed on the smoker and ran through the cars. At one of the platforms they found Mr. Elliott and a friend, baggage in hand. Mr. Elliott did not make any resist ance to the officers, but chartered a hack and his friend, the Union Pacific depot agent, and Patrolman McDowell all rode to the police station. The friend who was with Mr. Elliott happened to be a lawyer, and when the station was reached he demanded that a warrant be produced or his friend re leased. "If you have a warrant we will put up a bond; if you desire it, I can put up $1,000 in cash right here now," said the lawyer friend. "Oh, I guess that won't be necessary," said Jailer Hopkins. While the officials were talking the colored town marshal of Perry, who had followed him all the way on the train, but had kept his identity hidden, appeared in the door way. He wore a large star on which read the words: "Town Marshal." He carried with him an immense club which looked more like a base ball bat than an officer's club. It was 28 inches in length. "Have you a warrant for this man?" asked the lawyer friend of the Perry town marshal. "No sah, I hasn't," said the latter. "Well, you can't take him without one, then," said the lawyer. Patrolman McDowell telephoned to Perry to know what should be done with the man. The mayor of Perry instructed him to turn Mr. Elliott over to Town Marshal Henry James. McDowell informed Mr. Elliott that he was now in the charge of the Perry town marshal, and the lawyer friend laughed heartily. Word came a little later that both a state and a city war rant had been issued at Perry for Mr. Elliott's arrest, and he was held by the Topeka authorities until the time for the eastbound Union Pacific this afternoon. Town Marshal Henry James took his prisoner back to the little town of Perry, there to answer to the charge of assault and disturbance of the peace. The lawyer friend went to Perry also. Mr. Elliott is a large handsome man and had the bearing of a gentleman. His lawyer friend took the whole affair as a huge joke. The Rev. Mr. Green is a well known colored preacher of Lawrence, and he is also well known here among the col ored brethren. A DISASTROUS KICK. Received Months Ago Now Makes Removal of Thigh Bone Necessary. James McMullen, a young man 19 years of age who is employed in the Santa Fe shops, underwent an opera tion for necrosis of the thigh at the Santa Fe hospital this morning. About six months ago McMullen was kicked in the thigh by a horse, but only slightly injured. Three weeks ago his thigh commenced to swell and give him pain, rendering him unable to work. Since that time the swelling and pain have increased and on Monday he was removed to the hspital and an opera tion decided upon. A portion of decay ed bone, two inches long and half the caliber of the thigh bone, was removed. Mrs. Maekay's Father Ill London. July 14. The Post an nounces that Mrs. John W.

The Rowley Brother's receivership matter will be brought to a close with in a day or two probably. The report of the receiver, F. A. Snow was made to Judge Hazen this morn ing and was accepted by the court as thoroughly satisfactory. The drug store having been sold and the property divided the receivership ceases. Judge Hazen said that he believed the receiver had been exactly fair to all parties concerned and that his judg ment was good. The receiver was al lowed $125 per month for his services. Emmett Rowley by his attorneys contested several of the claims of the receiver even to the allowance of a bill for the State Journal. It was said a newspaper was not essentially one of the expenses of running a drug store. "I found it so," said Mr. Snow, "it was the habit of many of our regular customers to drop in in the evening and read the State Journal and I no ticed that whenever the paper had been lost they immediately went across the street to some other store and did not come back." He was allowed the claim. HERR MOST FOR GOLD. Not to be Classed With Tillman, Alt geld Silver "Crank." New York, July 14. The gold men who have been calling the free silver men anarchists have gained an en couraging ally in Herr Most. He is the most rabid of the real anarchists of the east and said today: "Here I am represented by the Sun as a follower and supporter of Altgeld, Tillman and all other silver cranks, when I am. as all anarchists know, a better gold standard advocate than even the most rabid Wall street bank er. I am, moreover, in favor of a scarcer material than gold as the unit of value. I would have the karat of diamonds, if diamonds could be util ized, as the medium of exchange. As for silver money, why silver is so cheap and plentiful that shoe nails might as well be put in circulation as currency. Gold is the only correct standard of value." REASSURE M'KINLEY. A Nebraska Republican Club Assures Sim That Local Pride Makes No Difference. Canton, O., July 14. Major McKinley is receipt today of the following mes sage from one of the strongest Republi can organizations in the state of Ne braska. His mail too, contains many similar greetings from prominent men in all sections of the state: "Lincoln, Neb., July 13, 1896. "I am instructed to send you the fol lowing message: The Young Men's Republican club stronger in member ship and influence than ever before during its nine years of existence, in.' meeting assembled again send greet ing to William McKinley of Ohio, and assure him that in the coming contest the fact that our fellow townsman, William J. Bryan is the Democratic nominee, will only make our organiza tion more enthusiastic and determined than ever. This county will cast an im mense majority for McKinley. We have been in battle array in this state against Populism until fighting va garies such as the Chicago platform have become an accustomed thing. Sit uated as we are in this disputed ter ritory, we welcome the conflict and are firm in our conviction that victory will not come to Mr. Bryan in either this nation, state or county. Signed JOHN B. CUNNINGHAM, 4 President. HUBBARD'S RECEIVERSHIP Judge Hazen Severely Denounces His Appointee in Snow-Hamilton Case. The Snow-Hamilton controversy was before the district court again this morning. Mr. Hubbard, the receiver, whose ac counts appear to be under a cloud in the matter, is still very sick and his ex planations in regard to certain items in the referee's report of the condition of his accounts, have not been obtained. Application had been made for a con tinuance of time for the referee's re port. This was resisted by the attor neys for both the plaintiff and defend ant and the case was heard today. It appears that thereare charges against Mr. Hubbard of money and stock unaccounted for in the aggregate of about $8,000. This he says, he can explain, if allowed to do so. He has started on an explanation once or twice, but each time has relapsed into serious lilness that made procedure impossible. There is in the bank to the credit of the receiver $19,200. It is the desire of the Snow people that this money shall be divided at once, but the Hamilton people object until the receivership matter is settled. The court said he was inclined to or der the division of the $19,200 in the bank but that he wanted to hear more about it. "The great trouble with this case," said Judge Hazen, "is that the receiver in the matter is sick and unable to ap pear in court to explain what he says he can explain. It is a pure business matter and if the receiver can make any explanation he should be allowed to do it as soon as he is in a mental and physical condition to do so. Un fortunately we have in this case a re ceiver who is a defaulter. That is con ceded, I believe. The only question in it is the amount of the defalcation. Hubbard's bondsmen must be consid ered in the matter. Of course Hubbard is not entitled to any consideration at all at the hands of either this court or the public. He has not only betrayed this court but also the men whose bus iness he wa3 appointed to take care of. If he were well I could deal with him. He is not worthy of consideration but it would not be fair to his bondsmen if he were not allowed to come before this court and explain such of the de falcation as he says he can. The bondsmen are entitled to it." Mr. Vance for the Hamilton people gave notice of an argument for rehear ing of the controversy- and Judge Ha zen set it for tomorrow morning.

MOREBOHDSSURE Another Issue Is Likely to Be Made Soon. Providing Withdrawals of Gold From Treasury Continue. ARE HOARDING GOLD. Many People Are Withdrawing It to Put Away. Over a Million Has Been With drawn to Hoard. Chicago, July 14. A special to the Times-Herald from Washington, D. C, says: It is useless to conceal the fact that should the withdrawals of gold continue at the present rate, another bond issue will be necessary to sus tain the credit of the government. While the administration has not ex pected to be able to pull through until March 4 without another sale of bonds it did hope to defer the issue until late in the fall, or if possible, to the first of next year. The withdrawals Monday were for $675,300, of which $375,000 is for immediate transportation. The balance will probably be hoard ed. The disposition to hoard gold has been notably apparent for several days. Oh Saturday nearly $125,000 was with drawn for this purpose, and on the day before the withdrawals were nearly $1,000,000, a large part of which was to be kept in this country. The gold reserve yesterday was $98,- 420,635. BIG EVENT FOR SALEM. The Residents Talk of Nothing Elso Than Bryan the Nominee. Salem, 111., July 14. The inhabitant of this quiet town were rather slow in getting about today. The demonstra tion of last night appears to have been rather too much for them and every body, weary from the unaccustomed loss of sleep, reamained in bed until the sun was high in the heavens. Then they began to assemble in small groups about the court house square ant! to talk of the wonderful display that had been made in honor of the return of William J. Bryan, th" presidential nominee of the Democratic party. The oldest settlers, and the town is full of them, recounted stories and an ecdotes of Mr. Bryan when he was known as a barefooted boy in this re gion thirty years ago. Prophets among these old residents were numeroas. They said they always did kn.jw that "Billy" Bryan was going to be some body. They all knew his father, Judge Silas Bryan, who settled here in the early 40s. Incidents in the 'life, of .the judge were recounted, and from what the old settlers say he was in his time the best pleader and jury lawyer in tiii3 part of the state and he had the repu tation of being a remarkable cam paigner or stump speaker. This town was laid out by the early white settlers long before Illinois was admitted to the Union as a state. The main thoroughfare of the city, the one' on which Mr. Bryan's birthplace stands, was the old national road surveyed from Pittsburg to Cincinnati and Vin cennes and St. Louis. It was over this road that the United States mails were transported. At the age of 19 Silas Bryan settled in this section, comlnc from Culpepper Court House, Va., where he was born. His father was a soldier in the war of the re :iition. On settling here Bryan began the study of law. A year or so later he wa: ad mitted to practice before the courts of the state. A few months later he married Miss Jennings, daughter of a prominent farmer and one of the early settlors .'f the state. Being a thrifty man, Bryan prospered and was soon able to put up a palatial home. It was a little story and a half building with a poieh run ning the entire length along the front. It had four rooms down stairs and three up stairs, and a hallway through the center. It was painted while a-.d had green blinds. The house still stands and is now the center of attraction for all visitors to this place, for it was here that Wm. J. Bryan was born. It is not different from scores of oth er houses along the street, though dur ing the last 20 years or so several houses more pretentious in size have been erected. But Salem is an at tractive town. Every one of the streets is broad and every one has a row of gigantic maple trees upon each side so that the use of an umbrella in the hot, sultry weather that now prevails is necessary to protect one from the glare of the sun and the lawns about the houses are well kept. The old stone court house, where for twelve years Judge Silas Bryan sat upon the bench, still stands in the cen ter of the public square, which is th'j business center of the village. This court house was built, according to the early settlers, along in 1855 or isr,6, and the old trees that were planted around it at the time of its building still stand and furnish luxuriant shade for the cit izens who during the summer have much leisure time. DEMOCRATS FOR 3TKIXLEY. St. Louis Has a Number Who "Will Work and "Vote for Him. St. Louis, July 14.

TOPEXvA STATE JOTTRXAL, TUESDAY EVENING, JUEY 14, 1896. TRIP OFTRIUMPH Bryan Goes From Chicago to His Old Home. Crowds Assemble to See llim at Every Station. HE SPEAKS OFTEX. Farmers Build Bonfires Along' Railroads In the Country. Tell "Eryan and Free SilTer" as Train Passes. Salem, 111., July 14. Never before In Its history has this quiet little town of 2,000 people be-n so ablaze In glory as it was last night. Ordinarily the citi zens retire for the night by 9 o'clock. At 10 it is as quiet as a country church yard at midnight. But last night it was different. W. J. Eryan, the leader of the Democratic campaign, a native of the place, return ed here. The whole town was out to meet him. There were sky rockets and Roman candles, red fire was burning all along the route by which Mr. Eryan was conducted to the home of his sis ter. He will remain for the next two days. When the train pulled up to the Ealem depot there were many people on hand ready to welcome Mr. Bryan from all over Marion county. Air. and Mrs. Eryan were escorted to a carriage by the local reception committee and taken to the home of Mr. Bryan's sister, Mrs. James Baird. Awaiting them at the house were Mrs. Mary Van Antwerp, Mrs. Davenport, Mrs. Zadock Jennings, all relatives of the honored guest. and his sisters Misses Fannie and Mamie Bryan. It was not the wish of Mr. Bryan to have a cele bration here at this time. But two short weeks ago he was called here to attend the death bed of his mother. She was buried here by the side of Judge Bryan, who passed away sixteen years ago. But the people in their en thusiasm and desire to honor the man who went away from here, sdarcely a score of years ago. unknown to fame, gave vent to their feeilufes. When the carriage reached the home of his sister, his former fellow towns men were there by the hundreds. They cheered and shouted, whiie bands play ed and anvils boomed. They demanded a speech and Mr. Bryan acquiesced. As he stepped out upon the little vine covered porch in front of the house of his sister, in response to the calls of his friends he showed by the twitching of the muscles of his face and the husk iness of his voice that he was deeply affected. He needed no introduction. Everyone knew him as he came for ward and the noise and hubbub ceased. As scon as he could control his voice he spoke as follows: BRYAN SPEAKS. "Fellow citizens: I don't know what to say more than to thank you. There is no spot 1 think that can ever become so dear to a man as the spot about which cluster sacred memories of early childhood. I have come back to Salem every few months since I left here and no spot on earth will be so dear as Sa lem. (Applause.) "I asure you I appreciate the friend ly interest which you manifest and more so because in this there is no pr.rty and I see here friend3 in all par ties, persons of different faith, as well as those who agree with the principles which I have advocated and I am deep ly touched with this manifestation of your esteem and confidence. "I wish I could have with me tonight the gentleman who occupies the place with me on the national ticket. I wish you could see end become acquainted with Mr. Sewall, who is our candidate fi-r vice president. Although my ac quaintance with him is not long I think a great deal of him. I thing him a manly man and I wish he could come here and greet you ard become ac quainted with the enthusiasm that has been manifested tonight. 'If ejected my fullcpt hope will be gratified. I have but one desire and that s to br'i g back to our people our government as our fathers Intended it, a government which shall be conducted on principles of equality before the law which shall protect the rights of life and liberty. (Applause.) Which shall know no difference between the sim plest citizen and the greatest citizen in the land, a government which shall be iio respecter of persons but shr.U, like heaven, treat all alike. (Applause.) That is the ideal government which I learned from my father, and if I. as a man can administer government on the Democratic theory that my father taught me. I believe that my conduct will meet with the approval of a great mass of the people, who ask no privi 1 je but simply demand justice to all. (Applause.) "1 don't believe that a candidate for office has any right to ask people to vote for him as a personal favor, but he has a right to claim the vote of all who believe that through his election they can best protect their own inter ests and serve their country. (Ap plause.) That is the only theory upon which you can obtain support. Tour votes are your own to use according to your own judgment. I can simply ap peal to you to take the issues and study them as citizens upon whom rest grave responsibilities and when you have decided all I can ask of you is that you allow your vote to register your own wish. Let your ballots reg ister a free man's will, and then no matter who la elected we will be sat isfied. "I can only say here, over and over again that I am deeply gratified for this very cordial reception at the place of my birth and you will accept that until I can thank you personally for your consideration." When he had ended hia talk there was loud and enthusiastic applause. Then the assembled citizens formed in line along the walk in front of the liouse and beneath the huge trees and Mr. Bryan passed along in front of them and gave each a hearty liand ehake. There were no other speeches. CThe people retired to their homes and fir. Bryan and his wif went to rest. weary and worn from the excitement of the day. LEFT CHICAGO QUIETLY. There was no ostentation or display made by Mr. Bryan on his trip from Chicago to this, the town of his nativ ity. He bought tickets for himself and wife at the Illinois Central depot and there was no special car provided. The man upon whom the Democratic party thrust the greatest honor within its power rode in a Pullman coach on a. regular train, and every passenger on board the train had access to the car, and nearly every one of them came back and shook hands with Mr. Bryan and his wife and expressed to them their good wishes and congratulations. There was no .demonstration at the Park Row depot when Mr. Bryan and his wife left Chicago. Mr. ana Mrs. Bryan rode to the depot in a cab a few minutes before the time for the train to depart. A few people recognized Mr. Bryan and exercised the privilege of Americans toward candidates or publie officers by shaking hands with him. The first stop after leaving Chicago was at Kankakee. Fully 1,000 citizens had assembled around the depot and were eagerly waiting for a chance to catch a glimpse of the Democratic nominee. The state insane asylum band was present play ing "The Star Spangled Banner" when the train pulled into the depot. There was a general rush from all sides, as every one seemed determined to grasp the Democratic leader s hand. The train only stopped five minutes, but in that time Mr. Bryan was a decidedly busy man. Just before the train start ed there were cries of "Speech!" from all parts of the crowd and some en thusiastic individuals carried a huge dry goods box over the heads of the people up which they intended t place Mr. Bryan that he might talk to them all. But before they reached him the conductor called "All aboard" and the train pulled out, much to the dis appointment of the assembled citizens. Mrs. Bryan Was an interested spectator of the scenes on the depot platform. THE VETERAN KNEW "BILL." The little town of Paxton was the next stop and as Mr. Bryan alighted from the car a stalwart veteran with long gray hair and Mowing whiskers pressed his way to the front and grasped the presidential candidate by the hand. "I knew it would come to this some day. Bill," he said in a gruff voice. "I knew your father before you were born, and I have watched you from the time you used to kick up the dust in the streets of Salem with your bare feet. And I have always said that you would be a great man some day." The people at Rantoul were given but three minutes in which to shake hands with the new leader of the Democratic party. The town only boasts of a thousand inhabitants, and at least two thirds of them, men, women and chil dren, were at the depot to greet Mr. Bryan and he was enthusiastically cheered. As Mr. Bryan boarded the train he turned about on the platform in response to loud calls for a speech. He raised both hands and instantly all was siience. "If you will only vote next November as industriously as you shout now, I will be sure to be elected." The bell on the engine began to clang, the train move away and the assembled citizens roared with delight. Champaign gave the greatest dem onstration of the trip. The streets were blocked with vehicles and people in every direction. There was a mili tary band and nearly every one of the thousands of people who had come to do honor to the nominee carried a flag. A committee representing the citizens of Champaign county and city were at the depot to meet the distinguished man from Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were escorted to a temporary platform which had been erected on a fiat car which stood on a sidetrack. It was draped with bunting and flowers. There was an ovation of hand clap ping and cheers when Mr. Bryan step ped to the front of the platform. He was introduced to the throng of citi zens by Col. J. H. Wolfe, a venerable gentleman, bearing a strong resem blance to Gladstone. When quiet was restored Mr. Bryan said: "Fellow citizens, I believe I have not visited thi3 city since about 18T9. (Cries of 'Good boy Bryan,' and great applause.) In that year I was a stu dent at the Illinois college and we had a contest, I think an inter-collegiate contest was had in this city at your college and it was my good fortune to be present and meet some of your peo ple, and that is the last time and I be lieve the first time till now that I have been here or passed through here. "I am not going to make a political speech this afternoon. I have just been talking some at Chicago and I am kind of between speeches. I am glad to have an occasion to talk to you for awhile and I am gratified to see that so many people by their presence here have shown their interest in this cam paign. In my judgment it is the most important campaign through which this country has passed in time of peace during our existence as a na tion (Applause.) A campaign in which great issues are to be settled, issues which affect every man, woman and child in the nation. And I beg of you that you shall realize and appreciate the important part which you bear in this campaign. "This is the greatest nation on the earth. It is in advance in my humble judgment in all that makes a nation great; in advance of all nations that live, or have lived, in those great things, and the opportunities which people find here have their highest and best development. We have the best form of government and we have it because it is a government which can be just as good as the people desire it to be. No government can be better than the people deserve. If our gov ernment is good, if our laws are just, it is because we make them ourselves. I have confidence in the intelligence, in the patriotism of the great common people of this country (Applause.) "The only trouble that we have is that people are so often indifferent of their duties as citizens. Some have an idea that patriotism can only be manifested in time of war. I was too young to show my patriotism in time of war, but I glory that in this land every year gives a patriot an opportu nity to show his love for country, and there is no year better than this. (Ap plause.) Tou have the right to con sider and act upon every question which arises, and when you find a person who tells you that the masses and the people axe not competent to settle the greatest and most important questions that concern our nation,, you find a man that does not understand the conditions of our institutions. (Ap plause.) Great questions are simple questions. Every political question is an economic question, and every great economic question is at least a great moral question, and when you deter mine which is right and which is wrong, when you come to the settle ment of a question where justice is involved, it can be settled only by the great comon people of this nation. (Ap plause and cries of "that's right.') No question can ever be settled until the people sit In judgment en it. The politicians have tried to settle the money question. The financiers have tried to settle the money question, but it will not be settled until the great producing masses of this country ex press their opinion, and from that opin ion there is no appeal. (Applause.) You have the right not only to hold an election, but to express your opla- ion on the money question, and you have the same right by your ballot to protect your own interests and watch over the welfare of your family as that of any other person in this broad land. "And. more than that, each man must look after his own rights and protect his own interests. We have suffered more in this country from the people who have tried to care for every inter est except their own, and in the end have taken care of their interests only than from any other cause. The money question Is not a complicated question, and it is presented in this campaign in the simplest form it has ever taken before the people. When this campaign is on, before the election arrives, there will be just one great question in this country, and that is, is this nation great enough to attend to its own business? (Applause.) Is this nation great enough to legislate for it3 own people? If so. then the people will demand a financial policy based upon the American interest for the caring for American rights regardless of the aid and consent of any other nation on the earth. (Applause.) "If this nation is not great enough to attend to its own business, then to what nation can we go with the ex pectation of aid? Do you know of any nation that Is standing ready to help us? Is there any nation that sets up the plea that it cannot take care of its own people? Is it left for the United States to humbly bow before the for eign nations and beg them to do that for which this nation was instituted, to take care of the people of the United States? (Applause.) But I did not in tend to make a speech. I simply want ed to thank you and to come out here and express my gratitude to you and to those like you who have conferred upon me this distinguished honor. I appreciate the honor and appreciate the responsibility which that honor im poses. Whether I shall be elected or not, depends not upon me, but upon the people." But here the time was up for the train to leave, and Mr. Bryan was hus tled off through the crowd which was loth to give way to him. Hundreds of people shook him by the hand as he came through the assemblage and promised him their support. A short stop was made at Toona, where half the town was out, bent on seeing Air. Bryan. The people were gratified, though the stop was only momentary. MRS. BRYAN SCATTERS FLOWERS. Then came Tuscola, the county seat of Douglas county. At least 2,000 peo ple stood on the platform and around the depot. Colonel Wm. Brinyton, United States district marshal for the southern district of Illinois, was there and introduced Mr. Bryan and his wife to the crowd. As the crowd ceased to cheer Mrs. Bryan, who carried a bou quet of sweet peas, began to scatter them over the heads of the throng. There was a scramble from all direc tions and everybody wanted to get a souvenir. At Areola Mrs. Bryan re ceived the bulk of attention. As soon as they had been introduced Mr. Bryan said: "Whenever I come to Areola I travel on my wife's reputation, because she attended school with the daughter of your distinguished citizen, Maidon Jones." At Mattoon the crowd was almost as large as that which assembled at Champaign. The streets were block aded with vehicles and men and wo men, and all the buildings in the vicin ity were decorated with flags in honor of the passing of Mr. Bryan. He was introduced to the crowd from the rear platform of the train by Frank Spitler as the next president of the United States. In addressing the assemblage Mr. Bryan said: "We have hardly time, fellow citizens, to discuss the questions which are the issue in this great cam paign. I have bean taught that a pub lic servant was but a hired man. wlio was chosen for a certain length of time to do a certain work, and that those who select him are the only ones to judge whether or not he is competent for the place. "You can't always tell whether a man will make a good man or not by the way he looks, but we have a good plat form adopted at Chicago and believe that any person who will honestly, faithfully and courageously carry out the provisions of that platform will make a good hired man for the people of the United States. (Applause.) "This is a campaign in which there will be much of feeling more feeling than has ever been in any campaign in which you or I have been engaged since the war.' And the feeling arises on two sides. You find those who oelieVe the national policy which we advocate will be ruinous to the country and those who believe that the only salvation to this country lies in the immediate res toration of free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1 without the consent of any other nation on earth. (Great ap plause.) I believe in that platform. It expresses that policy which is neces sary to restore parity between money and property. "And in this campaign you will find that those men who are pecuniarly benefited in the rise in the value of a dollar will favor the policy which will raise the value of that dollar, but the poor people will not be in favor of such a policy. When these people tell you that they want good money, you tell them that money may be too good: it may be so good that you may pray for t and wish for it. but you can t gft hold of it. (Applause.) We want a dol lar that will be just and not a dollar which will only reward the men who own money. As the train proceeded south there were small bodies of citizens at unim portant stations who had assembled to see the train drawing the presidential nominee go through on the fly. The enthusiastic citizens at these places were gratified in their desire, for Mr. and Mis. Bryan at each place walked out upon the rear platform, where Mr. Bryan took off his hat and waved at the assembled people as the train ru3hed through. SPEAKS AT EFFINGHAM. At Effinsham, although it was quite dark, there was at least 1.000 people. many of whom were women, assem bled to see the Democratic presidential candidate. As the train came to a standstill, there were loud cries for "Bryan," "Free silver" and "Altgeld" and after the mention of each the crowd gave vent to enthusiastic cheers. When quiet was at lengtn restored, Mr. Bryan was introduced from the rear platform of the train and said: "Fellow Citizens I remember tnat less than a year ago, I stopped off here for a few hours and spoke at the court house. At that time we wished the Democratic party would adopt a plat form that was Democratic. Since that time a great struggle has been going on and the last week that struggle end ed in a national convention and that convention adopted a platform which in my humble judgment is Democratic in every line and every word and the Democratic party conies beiore the country now appealing to those who believe in that platform. At Effing ham, Mr. Bryan and his wife were met by L. Dwight of Centralia and T. S. Marshall of Salem, both cousins of Mr. Bryan, who boarded the train and ac companied them to the end of thc-ir journey. FARMERS BUILT BONFIRES. South of Effingham, about four miles a large number of farmers assembled along the edge of the railroad track and had built large bonfires. Aa the train shot by there was a fusillade of shotguns, old army muskets and fire crackers while the assembled country men shouted "Hurrah for free silver and Bryan." Mr. Bryan was taken to the Virginia hotel at Odin. After being in the hotel a few minutes Mr. Bryan was taken to the street and mounting a platform which had been hastily erected ad dressed the citizens of Odin for five minutes. He said: "I don't want to make a speech tonight because I have not been formally notified by the notification committee as to my nomination. It does me good to visit the country of my birth and meet and greet my old friends of my boyhood days. Odin is a familiar name to me and many of the faces here I recognize as those I knew years ago. I am deeply touched by these manifestation of good will. "I do not feel that the nomination that has been given is the result of any particular merit. Circumstances con trol our actions and largely mark out our course in life. That is responsible for the fact that just now I happen to be the standard bearer of one of the great parties. In selecting some one to stand upon the platform and carry out the doctrines promulgated therein, cir cumstances pointed to myself and I am but one of you chosen for a brief time to exercise a privileged authority if by your suffrages I am elected to the of fice. "I never think of this office without thinking of the simplicity of our gov ernment. We desire something to be done and we select some one, give him the power and the moment the people take that power away he takes his place among other men. We know no divine rights of kings. All power men exercise is simply for a purpose and for a time. He returns at last to the peo ple themselves. If by the devotion of my countrymen, I am elected to this office for four years I shall stand as chief executive of the greatest nation of the earth." (Great applause.) BLAND BE FUSES TO BUN. Wishes to Go to Congress and Not Run for Governor. Lebanon. Mo., July 14. "Silver Dick" Bland's defeat for the Democratic nom ination for the presidency of the United States at Chicago last Thursday was a keen disappointment to Missouri Dem ocrats, and in their disappointment over the defeat of the silver leader many Missouri Democrats have turned to Mr. Bland to lead the party in Mis souri this fall as the candidate for gov ernor. He has received many telegrams and letters the past few days u'ging mm to become a candidate. Lon V. Stephens, state treasurer and leading candidate for governor, arrived here last evening and visited Mr. Bland at his home. Mr. Stephens came here to see Mr. Bland and ascertain from him if he had any intention of making the race for governor. Mr. Bland said to Mr. Stephens that he was not a can didate for governor, and would not en ter the race, that he preferred to go to congress and was now a candidate for the congressional nomination in this (the Eighth) district. WILL BREAK SOLID EAST. President Merchant Marine Associa tion Says Silver "Will Make Inroads. Chicago, July 13. Among the tele grams of congratulation which have been received by Arthur Sewall, the Democratic vice presidential nominee is the following: New York. July 13. "I named you for vice president three weeks ago. Now that you are the nominee, the 3olid east will break for silver and the tick et is a winner. Hurrah for American ship and the peoples' ticket."

The Seattle Evening News, a staunch Republican organ, has declared in favor of the na tional Democratic ticket. Regarding Mr. Bryan, the News says: '"He fully represents the youth. vigor, independence and inspiration of the great west, toward which the star of empire has been moving for a cen tury. He is in touch with the indus trial masses and the producing classes and the platform on which he stands Is as signally lucid in its declaration of true Democratic and Republican prin ciples as the bill of rights and as strenuous for manhood and liberty as the emancipation proclamation. There can be no doubt as to the duty o every citizen." Four Paola Girls Become Nuns. Paola, July 14.

Haven't Got a Bit of Sense Says Clews. Wisdom and Honor Reside In Wall Street Alone. New York, July 14. The following is Henry Clews' weekly circular, issued from his Wall street office: Following the "bear" assaults of the first week of the month, Wall street has fallen into a state of virtual inert ness. The late speculative sellers seem to have exhausted their force; and, on the other hand, buying on London ac count has diminished. The market is thus left to drift, little affected by either bad influences or good. Out side of the disturbing political factors, there is the usual summer absence of operators, many of whom have closed up their accounts until the progress of the election canvass has thrown new light upon the prospect. The extraordinary excitement con nected with the Chicago convention has had less effect than might have been expected. It has been enough to sug gest some grave thoughts to reflecting men; but it has not been regarded as tending to complicate or endanger sound money prospects. Undoubtedly it is no small matter to see such a large mass of people given over to the wildest conceptions and most passion ate resolves upon questions about which they have no rational conception and which most of them are unable to understand. But it is felt that this exaggerated excitement must have its reaction, and that it will tend to swell the vote of the sober majority who have no sympathy with demagogic and com munistic vagaries. The Chicago con vention has given the country to un derstand that the Democratic party has now espoused Populism among its is sues. That was hardly expected to be the outcome: but the platform is noth ing if not Populistic. Sober, intelli gent, order-loving people can now un derstand what lies under the prevail ing discontent and the baseless section alism of the south and west; and the fact that one of the parties in the elec tion will be the open abettors of revo lutionary tendencies will only tend to swell the overwhelming majority that, in November, will show these malcon tent elements what is their real stand ing among the American people. The spirit of the Chicago convention is an affront to every conservative and patriotic sentiment in the hearts of our people. It is the sort of temper out of which comes lawlessness, conspiracy and revolution. The classes whom the planks are intended to inflame know nothing of the real ends of their lead ers. The more inflaming or revolution ary the partyprogrammeisthe better it suits the militant mood into which these unreflecting masses have been worked. There Is no mistaking the real tactics of the party leaders. Conscious of the danger that their selfish scheme of making a home market for silver may be overwhelmingly voted down at the election, they marshal a host of side issues out of which they may excite popular discontent and awaken the mob spirit and frighten the orderly support ers of sound money into surrender. Their game is transparent and well un derstood and excites no concern among the classes against whom it is direct ed. They stand unmoved upon the foundation of common sense and com mon honesty which has never failed to shield the country from the shock of civil discontents. The more open the temptations or the threats of dema gogic leaders, the more ready our peo ple have ever been to come to the res cue; and the spirit and the dictation of the Chicago convention were just the incentives needed to raliy the friends of American principles and in stituions for overwhelming defense. Hence the public perceives that the Democratic convention has made cer tain the election of the party of sound money and honest finance in Novem ber. In this sense the political situa tion is both clearer and safer today than it was a week ago, and confidence is more solid. The greenback craze twenty years ago had many features in common with the silver furor of the present day. It appealed to the weak spots in human nature, and its crafty managers played upon the feelings and prejudices of the working man, and the poor artisans, and the skilled laborers particularly, who are very easily persuaded that they are greatly underpaid for their serv ices. The promises of abundance of money and higher wages with em ployment for everybody willing to work were the alluring baits held out to every man who had a vote. How the fiat money was to be got into circula tion after it left the printing press was a part of the subject too remote for incuiry, or was regarded as an im pertinent question presumably put up by- a hard money crank. The idea of something for nothing always appeals forcibly to the imagination of those who have had to struggle for every dollar they have obtained. So far as the fiat money is concern ed, the enterprise of the old green backers had some points of superiority to that of the modern silverites. In the latter case, it is part flat and part intrinsic value; and the solons of the modern silverites propose to create an inverted pyramid, and expect the low er part to sustain the entire weight of the top heavy structure. The scheme or" the old greenbacker was more scien tific for he made the nation at large the immense base of his pyramid, leaving illimitable space for its height even to the moon and the stars. There are some Interesting points in the parallel between the financial managers, the men with the "boodle," who ran the greenback Utopia. and those who are now supplying the sin ews of war for the promised land of silver in prospect. Peter Cooper was easy of approach and had a ready ear for every tale of woe. Upon this weakness the crafty tricksters, the needy agents who at tended to his canvass, played with nev er failing success. It was pitiable to see, as an eye witness of some of those scenes during the greenback campaign has told me the grand old man be ing fleeced by those political harpies through the relation of some story of distress in the west, until the check was forthcoming to relieve it. Jones of Nevada. I am told, is very similar in his yielding propensities to Peter Cooper, and will "give up" quite as easily with this difference that he may become utterly oblivious after wards to where it has gone, or to whom he has given it. It is said that Silver King Stewart is almost of the same stripe as his royal brother Jones. I. allude to these facts in no unfriendly spirit, but simply to show the enticing field that is open to these modern adventurers in politics: these parasites of the silver kings whose great anxiety is to make use of the unlimited resources of the million aires for their selfish purposes. But seriously speaking, though the silver movement has cut a broader swath than the greenback adventure, yet when the wind gets out of it. after the convention, it will be found that it has very little more of the quality of durability in it than the older scheme of inflation. The solid educational campaign tried the old scheme and found it sadly wanting. The balloon collapsed long before November, 1S76, and the schem ing adventurers retired into private life, leaving their candidates in the consomme with the memory of a few months' excitement and sad wailing3 over departed cash. The historic analogy in finance and politics will, in all probability, pre serve its parallelism to the end of the chapter. McKiniey will undoubtedly be elected, in which event the gold standard will be maintained; our in ternational credit will be sustained, our securities will find strong holders; both at home and abroad, panic will be averted, and a boom will be in augurated, not only in Wall street, but throughout our broad land, with which no old time revival can compare in point of prosperity. HENRY CLEWS. TRIED TO SHAVE BRYAN. A Chicago Barber Gets Rattled on Hearing His Customer's Name. Chicago, July 14. Mr. Bryan received the second announcement of his nomi nation from his friends while he was being shaved in the hotel barber shop. As soon as the first news came he went down stairs for a shave and a mild shampoo. Big "Doc" Williams of Lincoln, who had gone about with him everywhere to shield him from the crowds, went with him to the barber shop and took a seat near by. Mr. Bryan sat down in the red stuffed chair and the barber whetted his knife. "Doc" Williams kept an anxious eye on the door and the barber. "Shave you close?" asked the barber of Mr. Bryan. "Not very," was the reply. Then the head barber began. He had gone carefully over the right side of the Bryan face and had removed the lather and several square inches of beard from off the presidential possi bilities when the faithful "Doc" heard loud tramping and cheers coming down the basement stairs. "Dec" started for the door to keep the crowd back, but it was no use. They swarmed all around the reclining candidate, got lather on their coat sleeves, and came near being cut by the barber's razor. "You're nominated! You're nominat ed!" the crowd yelled, thinking it was giving the first news of the final ballot. The head barber suddenly became nervous. He had shaved all classes of great men, from senators to the hold ers of world's bicycle records, but this was the first time he had ever spread lather; in a presidential nominee's eyes. His nerves became shaky. Mr. Bryan was pale, too where the lather had been scraped off. Schubiger tried to g-o on with the shave, but he was so nervous the crowd that was watching him began to hold its breath. Air. Bryan fidgeted around, as if he were afraid of being cut. Finally he said, with a smile that showed clear through the lather: "My dear fellow, hadn't you better let someone else finish for you?' Then Schubiger stepped back and the crowd began to breathe again. DEPEW ABUSES TILLMAN. Says in London that He is an Ignor ant Demagogue. London, July 14. The News prints a column interview with Mr. Depew on the currency question, in which he pre dicts that in the elections the silverites will be so overwhelmingly defeated that the free silver question will disappear forever from American politics. He scouted the idea that McKiniey is not sound on the currency question, and explains that the preference shown for McKiniey over Reed simply shows that a republic distrusts brilliancy and prefers moderate and safe men. He thinks the cleavage manifested at Chicago is more between the north and south than between the east and west. The small farmers of the south, led by Tillman, represent the real strength of the free silver movement. Tillman he considers an ignorant demagogue of no real culture and with no more know ledge of financial problems than an American Indian. Altgeld, he declares, is almost an anarchist, although a cultured man and very different from Tillman. "It appears to me," said Mr. Depew. "that Tillman it like a mediaeval mail armored knight, ready to fight for every craze. Altgeld is a wild-eyed revolu tionist, ready to destroy the common fabric in the hope that he will go in by the ruin. Assuredly Altgeld does not represent the great free silver section like Tillman does. The artisans and mechanics who are following Algeld are too intelligent to be led aside." JlRYAN A BANDANA.

The distinguished nominee is an honorary member of the Bandana Club which he has frequently addressed at its annual banquets, and his name is as familiar to the local Democracy as that of any local member. A plan is already on foot for the club to make a pilgrimage to the nominee's home at Lincoln as soon as he returns, and ex tend to him its heartiest congratula tions.

Gold Democrats of Illinois Ash Another Convention. Dou't Point With Pride to One Just Held. ISSUE AN ADDRESS. Inyite Gold Democrats of Other States to Join. And Hare a Gold Convention to Name Caiutidates. Chicago, July 14. The executive com mittee of the gold standard Democrats of Illinois met In a protracted session yesterday and prepared an address to the Democracy of the other states in the Union. It was the unanimous opin ion that a second Democratic national convention should be called to nomi nate candidates for president andvice president. The address is a3 fallows: To Our Fellow Democrats of Other States: A national convention under the con stituted authority of our party has just closed its session in the city of Chicago. It entered upon its work by violating all party precedents in the rejection of a distinguished Democrat as its tem porary presiding: officer. It deprived a sovereign state of a voice in its deliber ations by unseating without cause or legal justification delegates elected with all the regularity known to party or ganization. It refused to indorse the honesty and fidelity of the present Democratic na tional administration. It adopted a piati'orra which favored the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone at the ratio of 16 to 1 and thereby repudiated, a time honored Democratic principle which demands the strictest maintenance of a sound and stable national currency. Finally, to make it still plainer that, although in name it was not in fact a Demo cratic convention, it nominated for president one who is not in his political convictions and has not been even in his professions, a Democrat. This has made such a crisis, both for the nation and the Democratic party, .that sound money Democrats must at once decide what political ac tion they wil! take for the protection of the honor of the riaiion, the prosper ity of the people and the life of the party. The sound money Democrats of Illinois have fully made up their minds that a new Democratic national con vention should be called for the earliest feasible day to nominate Democratic candidates for president and vice presi dent and to adopt a platform of Demo cratic principles: and they desire to state to their fellow Democrats of the other states their reasons, as follows: First Sound money Democrats ewe it to the country to make it certain at o'ice that their revolt against free sil ver is determined and wiil be organized. It is unfair to oblige the credit of the nation and the business and industrial interests of the people to merely guess what the sound money Democrats will do in November and to wait until No vember to find out. Second The nomination of a new ticket is the logical course. Without it and a sound money Democratic cam paign the whole educational force of sound money Democratic sentiment would be paralyzed from the begin ning. Republicans cannot argue the sound money question to Democratic voters. Republican sincerity on that ques tion is doubted by the mass of Demo crats. The tariff question will be put to the front and insisted upon by He publican speakers and the Republican press as it has persistently been by Mr. McKiniey himseif. Democrats will not listen to lessons on finance when accompanied by abuse of the Democratic party. The most effective force at this time for a campaign is the force residing In the sound money Democrats, for they are profoundly in earnest and can get a hearing from Democrats that the Republicans can not possibly get. Third A new convention would also preserve for the future the opportuni ties of the Democratic party. Unless a clear cut separation is made between the genuine Democrats and Democrats who are drifting into Populism, or are already in Populism: and unless that clear cut separation is supported by organization and a reorganized Dem ocratic party is the result, the party has no chance of regaining public con fidence for years to come. The sound money Democrats in the different states must either make it clear that they have no associations with the Eryan party, or they must accept asso ciation and entanglement with it, and all state organizations will in the pub lic mind be for it that do not nuke- it absolutely clear that they are against it. The sound money Democrats are already sufficiently organized in this state to be able to meet their fellow Democrats in a new convention and are anxious to confer with representa tives of other states when a represen tative conference can be brought about.

Osgood, an ex pressman, dropped dead from fright this morning when he saw the herd of elephants belonging to Sells-Forepaugh circus. He was hauling a load of fur niture along Grant street between Nico lett avenue and Vine place Just as the elephants carne along. The horse did not see them until they were alongside of hirn and then turn ing his head he saw the giant animals towering above him. He took one look, bp?an to quiver and then dropped. His legs stiffened out and he never moved. It was undoubtedly a ca3e of heart failure.

The Journal says today that Speaker Thomas B. Reed, who is at Old Orchard, Ale., declined to be interviewed on the work of the Chicago convention, but added that he was practically of the opinion of Amos L. Allen, his private secretary. The latter then said: "I do not think Sewall will be able to carry his own city, much less the state. Apparently the only reason the Democrats nomi nated Sewall was this: He is the only wealthy Democrat in the east who fa vors the free coinage of silver and they think that by his nomination they will be able to draw eastern votes. "It is my opinion the nomination of Sewall will more than likely result in breaking up the organization of the Democratic party in Maine. Any at tempt to force Democratic voters in Maine to support silver will certainly be disastrous to the party of this state." FEARED FRENZIED CROWD. Engineer and Conductor of Wrecked Train Fled for Their Lives. Logan, July 14. Logan has been crowded with visitors from the sur rounding country to see the scene of Saturday night's disaster and discuss the details of the catastrophe. Engineer Montgomery and Conduc tor Reed of the excursion train walk ed to Missouri Valley after the wreck. The threats of the crowd they feared might be carried out, and they thought it best to be distant from the frenzied picnickers. Both were later taken to Boone from Missouri Valley in a car that was locked and sealed to guard against any possible attack that might be made on them in a moment of anger. WHISKY TRUST'S MOTE.

HOTTEST DAY YESTERDAY. In Chicago and Other Places it Took the Record. Chicago, July 14. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year, the mercury reaching 92 degrees in the office of the signal service, and being several de grees warmer than that in the streets. Despite the intense heat only two prostrations occurred, and neither of them will prove fatal. The hottest places outside of Chi cago yesterday as reported by the signal service, were: Havre, Mont., and Huron, S. D. At both these points 96 degrees was registered. Many towns in Iowa. Illinois, Wis consin, Michigan and Ohio reported the heat intense. Many cases of prostra tion are reported, but only two or three cases will prove fatal. In many places outdoor work was suspended. ENGLISH ARE DISGUSTED. Are Out of Sorts Because of Feeble ness Displayed by the Government London, July 14. The political situ ation has been only partially relieved by the yielding of Gerald Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, to the pressure directed by T. W. Russell, member of parliament for the south division of Tyrone, and Joseph Chamberlain, colo nial secretary, for modification of the amendments to the Irish land bill. There is a continuance today of the demands of Mr. Russell and others for further modification of the measure, while the press and people generally are giving expression to sentiments of extreme disgust at the feebleness dis played by the government. Many of the conservatives admit that if it were not for the hopeless differences that exist between the liberals and radicals, the government would be in a serious plight. Engineer Thomas There. Engineer James Thomas of this city appeared before a meeting of the Bro therhood of Locomotive Engineers in Arkansas City last night for the pur pose of instructing the lodge concern ing the work done at the national meet ing at Ottawa, and to exemplify the secret work of the order. The trip was made at the direction of Chief P. M. Arthur. GOLD MEN'S PLANS. New Yorkers Will Probably Hare a Conference Tomorrow. Tendency Now Is to Ignore the Chicago Ticket. TRY TO SATE NEW YORK Want to Preserve Democracy In the State. May Therefore Not Favor a Sec ond Democratic Ticket. New York, July 14. The Democratic gold standard leaders have not yet de cided on the date and place of the con ference at which it is expected a mani festo will be issued defining their at titude toward, the national ticket nomi nated at Chicago. William C. Whitney is still at his country home on Long Island and Senator Hill is at Albany, where he publicly declared he would not preside, as reported, at the Demo cratic notification meeting to be held here. One of the Tammany leaders said the conference would probably be held at Long Branch, on Wednesday and that it would be attended by Democratic leaders from New York and several other states. Another Tammanyite said the understanding was that the New York leaders would first confer, and then invite the gold men of other states to a general conference. According to a statement made by a friend of Mr. Whitney, the conference of the New York leaders is likely to re sult in a decision to ignore the national ticket as far as possible and to call on the gold standard Democrats to help to elect congressmen oppposed to free silver coinage and to join in an effort to carry New York for the Democratic state ticket. By refusing to bolt and put up a third ticket, it is said the state organization can maintain its regularity. Calvin S. Brioe. senator from Ohio, was seen and asked whether he would repudiate the Chicago ticket and platform. In reply Mr. Brice said: "I am not ready to be quoted on that sub ject and shall not until I have heard from my friends in Ohio and learn what they are going to do or recom mend." WILL VOTE FOR GOLD. Demoaratic Elector in Pennsylvania Resigns and Will Vote With Re publicans. Philadelphia, July 14. Samuel Dick son of this city, who was selected at the Democratic state convention as a presidential elector, has sent a letter to State Chairman Wright resigning the office. In his letter he says in part: "It is impossible for those who ap proved what was said and done at Al lentown to accept the platform or the candidates at Chicago. "It is impossible for any Democrat who believes in the principles and tra ditions of his party to support a pro posal to make inconvertible silver dol lars a legal tender for more than they are really worth. "Such being the condition of affair.-;, and as the Republican party now gives a reasonable assurance of maintaining the gold standard, it seems to me that all sound Democrats should, in this campaign, give it their support unless Democratic candidates should here after be nominated upon a satisfactory platform." FOSTER SEES M'KINLEY. The Ex-Secretary Calls on the Candi date and Dines With Him. Canton. O., July 14. Charles -Foster of Fostoria, formerly governor of Ohio, and secretary of the treasury in Harri son's cabinet, was one of the callers at the McKinley home yesterday and he remained over night. He is sanguine over the campaign prospects. He expects much of the active work of the opposition to be done in Chicago, but says the official headquarters will be in New York. The opposition, he says, will force the fighting in the west. Last evening Gov. and Mrs. McKinley and Mr. Foster were entertained at dinner by George B. Frase, editor of the Repository a paper established here in 1S15 by John Saxton, Mrs. McKin- ley's grandfather. The party also included ex-State Li brarian Joseph P. Smith and wife of Urbana, and Gov. McKinley's private secretary, James Boyle and wife. Many of the letters coming to Mc Kinley now contain words of warm in dorsement of his utterances Saturday evening. A large number of these are from men who formerly affiliated with the Democratic party. Among the callers today were: C. E. Markham, who rode a bicycle from Fredonia, N. Y., and will continue on the vehicle to Nashville. CANDIDATES FOR LANSING. Colored Wouldbe Murderers of W. S. Grover Arrested. Two of the murderous gang who at tacked W. S. Grover and cut him Sun day afternoon have been arrested and turned over to the state. Detective Zeller, armed with a warrant, went to the home of Will Brown about supper time yesterday. After a short time Brown came home by a back street and climbed over the back fence. He went into the house and the detective followed. Brown tried to run out of the front door of the house, but it was locked and the detective cornered him. Zel ler read the warrant to him and pre pared to take him to prison. Brown reached into a trunk which was near by, and drew a large knife. "You make a pass at me, and I'll shoot you dead," said Zeller, as he pulled down his revolver on Brown. Brown threw down the knife and went along with the detective. This morning Justice Furry fixed the bond at $500 and set the preliminary hear ing of the case for Tuesday, July 21. Will Davis, another of the gang, was also arrested last evening by Patrolman Ewing, and this morning his trial was jet for the same time as Brown's. The charge against each is "assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill." W. S. Grover, the man whom the col ored men cut, was in court this morn ing to swear to the complaint. He is still weak and nervous. ALL NIGHT AT PAULINE. Santa Fe Officials Had Their Train Sidetracked There. An Inspection tour over the branch lines of the Santa Fe in eastern Kan sas is being made by the officials of the road. The party left Kansas City yes terday, made an inspection of the Leavenworth branch and a portion of the L. T. S. W. road yesterday after noon, arriving in Topeka at 8:10 last night over that line. ..At 9:30 the spec ial train left Topeka for Pauline.where it was sidetracked during the night, enabling the officials to enjoy rest in the country. The train left Pauline early this morning, transferring to the Manhattan, Alma Burlingame line at Burlingame, and an, inspection of that branch was made today. From Manhattan the route is over the Union Pacific to Abilene, from Abilene over the Strong City branch to Manchester, and from that point over the Minneap olis branch to Barnard. The party ex pects to return to Topeka tomorrow evening. 1 The party "of officials consists of President Ripley, .Vice President Mor ton, General Manager. Frey, General Superintendent Mudge,' Superintendent of Machinery Player, Assistant Freight Traffic Manager Bissell, Assistant to the President Higginson, Assistant General Freight Agent Hudson, and D. E. Richardson, a prominent grain dea ler of Chicago. The division officials also accompanied the train. The To peka officials met the eastern officials in Kansas City. President Ripley stated to a Journal reporter last night that the trip was merely for the purpose of inspection, a thorough inspection having never been made of these branches, and that it had no reference whatever to the op eration of the branch lines. "Is there any intention of abolishing the office of first vice president," was asked Mr. Ripley. "No sir, none whatever," he replied. "The office will not be filled at present, but it will be at some future time. How soon, I am unable, to eay. Probably not for several months." "Will the office of second vice presi dent also be filled?" "Well, I think that when the board of directors elected first and third vice presidents, they also meant to fill the second vice presidency at some time. You see this is a new horse we are driving, and we must learn his paces before we attempt to do too much. The road is now on a solid footing, but we must have business to live.. At pres ent business is very discouraging." "Is it your opinion that the Santa Fe will acquire the Atlantic Pacific?" "I think that it will be found to the advantage of those concerned to amal gamate the roads. I don't anticipate a separation. However, if the A. P. should withdraw from the system, the Santa Fe would probably build." In reference to the position of gen eral manager of the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe, Mr. Ripley said that the matter had not yet been decided, but would probably be given out in the course of two weeks. He said that Mr. Yoakum's successor would probably be a man well acquainted with the country through which the roads run. The especial purpose for .which the traffic officials are -making the trip is to take a bird's eye view of the crop prospects. Vice President Morton said that so far the crop prospects were ex cellent." We expect to do a large grain business this fall," said Mr. Morton, but I do not anticipate that the earn ings will be great. Prices will be low, and as a consequence we will have to do the hauling at a low rate. I think, also, that there will be much competi tion for business. In Texa3 the cotton prospects are fine, and there is money in hauling cotton." Mr. Morton said the question of clos ing the Linion avenue ticket office has not yet been decided. He said that the closure of a number of offices at east ern points was under consideration, but that no further retrenchment in this line would be made, in Kansas. Vice President Morton, is well ac quainted with W. J. Bryan, the Demo cratic nominee for president, having known him for several years. He says that he is a man of very high charac ter, a good orator and an able lawyer. That if elected to -the presidency, he has the executive ability to fill that office with honor to his party. DETROITS 3 CENT RAILWAY A Report that It Has Been Sold to a New York Man. Detroit, Mich.,' July 14. According to what is considered reliable authority, a large and controlling interest in the De troit railway, the system operating un der 3 cent fare ordinance, has been sold by Henry A. Everett, general manager and promoter of the system, to R. T. Wilson of New York. Mr. Wilson now owns most of the stock of the Citizens' Street Railway company and the consolidation of the roads under one management is now anticipated. It is asserted .that the deal will be completed at Mr. Wilson's office in New York Wednesday. SENATOR Q LAY RESIGNS. Leaves Pennsylvania State Commit tee to Devote Himself to Na tional Campaign. Philadelphia, July 14. It is authori tatively stated among the Republican leaders that Senator Quay has resign ed the chairmanship of the state com mittee and that John P. Elkin; deputy attorney general would be chosen as his succesor. The significance of 'Senator Quay's resignation is that he intends to devote all his time and energies to the nation al campaign. M'KINLEY CLUB ORGANIZED. Herington Starts the Republican Campaign With Vigor.' Herington, July 14.---A McKinley club was organized in Herington Saturday night with 48 members. The- organi ation was effected with the election of John Wood president; A. L. Yost, vice president; R. S.T Oakford, secretary; and N. Cole, treasurer. Hon. S. S. Kirkpatrick, congressman from the Third Kansas district, will open the campaign at the opera house here tonight. t C. E. CONTENTION CLOSES. The Total Attendance was Over Twen ty Thousand People. Washington, July 14. After one of the most succesful and enthusiastic gatherings known in the history of the organization, the loth annual Interna tional Christian Endeavor convention which began last Thursday, came to a close last night." Referring to the song services on the capitol steps, the trustees said: "Who that heard can ever forget the won derful sound and scene." Although the registration of the delegates and visitors foots,-up only 20,062, yet there were a great many in the city who did not notify the regis tration committee of the fact, so that the actual attendance was considera bly beyond that number.

It is not only wicked but it is bad pol itics to try to deceive the people, there fore in all kindness we submit to the gold bug orators and newspapers the following list of don'ts: Don't tell the people thai there was but $S,000,000 of silver coined during a hundred years of free coinage. It is not true. Don't tell the people that the balance of trade is against the United States, as those who don't know better will soon find out that it is false. Don't tell the people that free coin age will make a 50 cent dollar and at the same time that it will double the value of the silver miner's product. They will readily see that It could not do both. Don't tell them that hard times and the low price of commodities are due to a Democratic tariff. They will not be lieve it unless you can prove it and you can't do that. Don't try to convince the people that what Wail street wants is best for them. It has an appearance of im probability on its face and will not be readily accepted. Don't say that gold is the money of the world. It is not true. Gold is not the money of any little bit of the world except when it is made so by govern ment, by law, by fiat. In international exchange it is measured by the scales and not by the stamp which is on it. Don't say that under free coinage, foreigners would pay us in silver while we would be compelled to pay them in gold. It is absurd. We do not owe any gold. We are not forced to buy from people who demand gold. Don't tell the people that the tariff is the main issue in this campaign. It is a waste of time. They will not have it that way. MORE BESIDES CXTRTIS. All the Republican candidates for congres in California are occupying the same position regarding the national platform as that of Congresman Cur tis of this district. The Los Angeles Express (Rep.) endorses their position in the following editorial: The state and district conventions were unanimously for silver and the California Republican candidates for congress stand on that platform. They are pledged to vote for silver an'i they did vote for silver every time they had a chance in the present congress of which they are members with a single exception. At that same time they voted for other Republican measures. If they are re-elected they will un doubtedly do the same thing again. If they do not they will be recreant to their trust and will deserve defeat. A congressman represents the district from which he comes, and it is his duty to obey the wishes of the majority of his constituents or resign. We are sat isfied that the Republicans from this state will take that course. Congressman Bowers, in an open let ter, has defined his position very clear ly. He says he is a Republican and a silver man. That he will vote with the party on everything but silver, but that on that point he will vote for silver, re gardless of how the rest of the Repub licans vote. That is the logical position to take. The eastern newspaper argument against the western people: "You are The gold men are the calamity howl ers this year. They see about nine kinds of ruin awaiting the country if the present gold standard, which has proved so disastrous, shall be dis turbed. The fact that Senator Hill had one vote for president through a number of ballots at Chicago gave rise to the sus picion that Colonel Tomlinson by some means had secured a seat in the con vention. McKinley took his mother to church Sunday. Unfortunately, Bryan's moth er is dead, and he has not this cam paign advantage. We shall hear regu larly every Monday that Major McKin ley took his old mother to church while poor Mr. Bryan must remain silent. As a campaign feature the venerable Mrs. McKinley will rank high. The Globe-Democrat has a preten tious headline on a Wall street article: "Queer Ideas of Inflation That Have Prevailed in Other Times and Coun tries." To be perfectly impartial there should be a companion article along side of it labeled "Scoundrelly Ideas of Contraction That Have Prevailed in Other Times and Countries." Nothing could be sillier than the yawp of gold bugs about the business depression resulting from the enact ment of a Democratic free trade meas ure. The Wilson bill waa so much along Republican lines that Mr. Cleve land refused to sign it and the aver age of duties under it is but a. trifle below that of the McKinley bill. A gold standard organ asserts that the crime of '73 was succeeded by 20 years of unparalleled prosperity. Yet the year before the passage of the Bland act the country witnessed one of the greatest labor strikes of its history. Corn sold at 15 cents a bushel and hogs at 2Mt cents a pound. If the country had been prosperous the Bland law would not have been passed. Few men appreciate the kindness of reporters. In the recent convention at Chicago a. United States senator was unable to fill the position he had been assigned by the party managers and the reporter said it was because he was "prostrated by the heat in the jam." The fact wu that the United States senator was vomiting, blind drunk. The chances are, that that senator will con tinue to abuse the newspapers Just the same as if his reputation had not been spared. Why should it have been spared? If a common drunkard is pre tending to serve the people in a public capacity, the peopie ought to know it. The silver product of this country is relatively of minor importance. Its real value in 1S95 was about $32,000,000. The copper product was worth $2S,0'J0, 000. pig iron $105,000,000 and soft coal $115,000,000. Why should these prod ucts be sold at commercial rates and silver be doubled in money value by act of congress? World (N. Y.) Perhaps for the same reason that gold has been doubled in value by act of parliament. A panic brought on because the American people decide that they want to manage their own finances, "will be fraught with disastrous consequences" shrieks Wall street. So it will for Wall street. A large number of Wall street gold gamblers may find them selves peeking through prison bars. There are more forms of treason than taking up arms against the govern ment. LINCOLN MAKING READY. Nebraska's State Capital Prepares to Receive Its foremost Citizen. Lincoln. Neb., July 13. Lincoln citi zens, without regard to sex or politics, are united in inviting every man and woman in Nebraska to join in giving William J. Bryan and wife a welcome home. Politics is laid aside by the peo ple of the home city of the Democratic candidate for president in their hearty tribute to the illustrious fellow citizen. The demonstration of Friday night which brought into the streets old men and children, women and girls, attest ed the warm personal attachment which the people of Lincoln have for Mr. Bryan. That was the spontaneous outburst of the first moments. It has been and is realized that upon his return home !ome formal expression Of their good will and appreciation of the honor which has been done them through him should be made. This feel ing brought together at the Lincoln ho tel tonight about 300 of the representa tive citizens of all political parties, to take such steps as are necessary to arrange for their reception. A committee on arrangement of de tails, composed of A. C. Rickett. T. S. Allen, J. H. MoMurtery, Captain A. E. Campbell, Judge C. L. Hall and Norris Humphrey, was appointed.

The formal reception will be held at the slate house. In the procession it is especially requested that no politi cal transparencies or emblems be dis played. State, county and city officials of all the state and all uniformed organiza tions are invited to send representa tives to take part. It is not yet known definitely what day or hour Mr. Bryan will arrive. TO HAVE "BIRD" DAY. Agricultural Department Wants it Made Companion to Arbor Day. Washington. July 14. An appeal for the observance o f a "Bird day" in the schools throughout the country has been made by the agricultural depart ment. The object is to devote the day to bo set apart once a year or to be combined with "Arbor day." to in structions in the value of our native birds and the means of protecting them from wanton destruction. The idea originated with Superin tendent of Schools Babcock of Oil City, Pa. It has been already adopted in two cities. Oil City and Fort Madison, Iowa, and Secretary Morton, the au thor of "Arbor day" indorsed the "Bird day" movement. The department in its published protests against the at tacks on birds, suggests that it is equally important to teach the best means of preserving the timber, game and fish as to teach students how to de velop the agricultural wealth of the state.

Bynum says in an in terview this morning: "I have already said that I could not support the Chi cago platform and ticket.

The Biggest Flambeau Parade With Fireworks Ever Made In the World Will Be Uiven at Topeka With 300 Men in Line on One of the Nights of the Fall Festival All the Flambeau Clubs Regard less of Politics Will Help. That the flambeau clubs of Shawnee county will do the right thing for the Fall Festival is an assured fact. And that Topeka will see during the festi val the very finest and largest flam bean display the world ever saw is a doubly assured one. With both the Republican and Dem ocratic Fambeau clubs, 100 strong each, the finest clubs of their kind in the United States, and the Mission town ship mounted flambeau club of the same number, Topeka will have a mammoth affair. The displays given in all the princi pal cities of the United States by both our Democratic and Republican clubs have been applauded loudly by the press and public. In none of these away from home displays have more than 60 or 70 men participated. What then will Topeka and Kansas see when 300 men are turned loose on Kansas avenue with fireworks? A flambeau parade five times as big as any city ever saw. In addition to this there will be sev eral hundred marching clubs uniform ed and on foot to follow. The Democratic flambeau club for mally offered its services sometime ago saying: The Democratic Flambeau club un animously tenders to the Committee of Fifteen its assistance in any way you may wish to use it in order to make the occasion a success." This communication was signed by R. C. Darnell, secretary, and John Schmidt, president. The Committee of Fifteen has just re ceived from the Republican club this offer signed by O. K. Swayze, secreta ry of the club: "Though I gave you verbal assurance that this club would give to the Fall Fall Festival its most cordial support and that you could depend upon us to do our level best to assist in entertain ing the guests of our city on that oc casion the matter had no been for mally passed 011 by the club. "At the last regular meeting of the club the members were unanimously in accord with the idea as expressed by me to you and you can count on this organization doing more than its share if such can be. to make a success of j this great undertaking. We are with you ana trust you will put us on your list of willing helpers. "We are well organized and have about 75 men in uniform but hope to have the remainder of the club uni formed by the time we are called upon for this work." PANIC FIRST, THEN WAR.

"The financial condition of Argentina and Greece is a paradise compared w ith what wouhl be the condition of the United States should the free silver party come into office.

The Washing ton Post in an interesting sketch of Bryan speaks of him as follows: "In many respects Bryan's career furnish es the highest commentary on the American system of self-government. If it is a government for the people and by the people. Bryan is its broadest ex ponent. He Is one of the people and he has nobody to point to but himself as the maker of his political fortune. While he never worked on a tow path like Garfield, split rails like Lincoln or tanned hides like Giant, he has neither family influence nor wealth to thank for his. prominence. He is distinctly a self-made man. Of the silver which he champions he has little. Of gold he probably has less. His nomination is a vindication of the sturdy Democracy which the party professes that nomina ted him." FROBMA-VS NEW THEATER. The Garden to Come Under His Di rection October 1. New York .July 14.

Refers to Governor Morrill as "That Character." She is a Quaker and an Interesting Talker Speaks at the Third Pres byterian Church. Mrs. Lydia A. Chase of Kansas City, Mo., came to Topeka yesterday to im prove the degree of good cizizenship here. She lectured last evening at the Third Presbyterian church upon the subject: "The Duties of Citizenship, from the Standpoint of the Bible." Mrs. Chase lives in Kansas City, Mo., and is the state organizer of the W. C. T. U. for Missouri. She is a sweet faced little Quaker lady, past middle age, and she has been a minister in the Quaker church for 30 years. Many years ago she lived in Kansas. A reporter asked her what she thought of Governor Morrill's attitude cn the temperance question. Her eyes snapped, and she said: "I think it was lamentable. A man whom we had thought would do so well, to do as he did, was a great disappointment to us. Some of the ladies at Kansas City wanted to have Governor Morrill come and speak for them, but I told them TP didn t want that character there. "I do not know Mr. Troutman very Tvell. but from all I can iearn I think he would do his duty." said Mrs.Chase. "He is a nice, clean man." Speaking of prohibition in Kansas, Mrs. Chase said: "I was away from Kansas for several years, and when I came back I could see a great im provement since prohibition had come into practice." In Mrs. Chase's lecture last evening at the Third Presbyterian church, she paid that she thought the thirteenth chapter of Romans sounded just as if it had been written in modem times It dealt with civil government in a way which seemed directly applicable to the present time. "That certainly reads Just like it was made right in Kansas City." she said. By way of introduction she said: "I am free to say that the government of the United States is the best of any known government. If it could be pure it would be a wonderful government. Our escutcheon is not clear and pure. That greatest of statesmen, Gladstone, says: 'The policy of government is to make it easy to do right, and hard to do wrong." Mrs. Chase said that the duties of citizenship demanded a firm stand for the abolition of the liquor traffic. "I can remember when the slave traffic was thought to be as hard to stamp out as it would be today to abol ish the liquor traffic within a verv few years." said she. "The liquor power dictates who shall sit in our legislative halls, and who shall go to congress: and vet we say we are a free government. If the tem perance people were as united as those of the liquor power, we wouldn't have any saloons in our country after this year." Mrs. Chase did not refer to local po litical conditions in her lecture, but chose her remarks from different ver ses of the thirteenth chapter of Ro mans. "Some one asked me a few days a"o what party I spoke for. and I told them I spoke for the Lord." she said Mrs. Chase left for her home in Kan sas City this afternoon. Z ABOVE K. CS DEPOT.

An alderman from Kansas City, Kan., was the spec tacular feature at the "chutes" in Troost park yesterday afternoon. He and" a party of friends who had been enjoying themselves elsewhere and were in high spirits amused themselves and the crowd of pleasure seekers by feigning fear when descending the chute, particulaly when the water sur face was reached. The alderman seemed to think at last that he had really convinced the crowd that he was af raid. so, to remove that false impression, he took his stand on the dock where all could see him, and at an opportune moment leaped far out into deep water. There were cries of horror from the women "chuters" and a hustling among the attendants and male visitors, and the alderman was dragged out. When asked why he had done such a trick, he said: I wanted to show- those laughing fools that I could swim." The management supplied him with other clothing. and the alderman, whose cold plunge had evidently done him good, resumed "ehuting" while his own apparel was drying. 1 B BS S A w VweVA SIXTH and QUiXCY.

Large IT umbers of Them Flocking to the McKinley Standard. Boston. July 14. Within the last twenty-four hours there has been a wholesale desertion in Boston and throughout the state from the Dem ocratic principles. Collector Winslow Warren of the port of Boston, an appointee of President Cleveland, announced today that he was no longer a Democrat and that he would vote for McKinley. Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of Har vard university said in an Interview that he has not been a Democrat, but an independent. Prof. Norton said he wrould vote for McKinley because the Republican platform stands for gold. although he would have preferred to vote for a Democrat on a gold platform. General Francis Peabody, a well known clubman, who ran as Demo cratic candidate for mayor of Boston in 1894, said: "At present I will say my intention is to vote for McKinley, but I want to know what the alterna tive is going to be. There may be none. It's a bad situation all around. The financial question is the paramount question of the day. No doubt, the sil ver party threatens the prosperity, yes, even the very existence of the nation as a first class power; so you may w-ager that I am not going to do any thing that will endanger the election of a sound money candidate. I will not have anything to do with a free silver man. There is George Fred Williams why, I haven't words to express my contempt for him." Prof. Nathaniel Haler, dean of the Lawrence Scientific school at Harvard, said: "I left the Democratic party yesterday, and much as I dislike Mr. McKinley I shall vote for him next November unless we have a sound money Democratic ticket." "I shall vote for McKinley," said Moses Williams, president of the Third National bank, "but I think it is hardly necessary to reaffirm my position on the money question, for every one knows how bitter I have always been against bimetallism. I believe that the fight against the silver faction of the Democratic party is sure to come, and we ought to stand up and have it out without further delay. For this rea son I shall cast my vote for McKinley as being the only candidate who can defeat the silver nominee of the Chica go convention." AMERICAN FLAG DEFILED. Gold Gamblers in the Stock Exchange Pollute It Wit'a Their Touch. New York, July 14. The gold specu lators on the stock exchange yesterday precipitated a noisy riot at one time. An American flag was procured and before the president knew what was being done, a mob formed after it and raced around the hall. Business was stopped while the members of the ex change watched the spectacle. The mob stationed itself in front of the chairman's rostrum and refused to cease in their demonstration.. Cries of "gold" were heard, and another pro cession was formed, and a shrewd Re publican sprang a sensation by Hing ing a lot of campaign buttons into the crowd. This stopped the mob, but not the noise and turmoil. The older mem bers of the exchange became impatient at this juncture, and after some effort order was finally restored. Sound money men claim the scene was'ja magnificent demonstration of their strength. A BIG FISH POND, That An Enterprising Farmer Has Made of the Shunganunga. C. E. Sadler, state fish commissioner, came to Topeka eysterday afternoon with a consignment of about 500 black bass and croppies to be used in stock ing A. A. Hurd's fish pond at his farm three miles southwest of the city. The Shunganunga creek runs through Mr. Hurd's farm, and this stream he has dammed, creating a pond about one half mile long and 50 feet wide. About a year ago Mr. Hurd stocked the pond with a consignment of black bass, and has already thousands of that fish. With the addition of the con signment brought to Topeka yesterday Mr. Hurd expects to have one of the finest fish ponds in the state. GOLD MEN PETITION. Some Kansas City Democrats "Who Do Not Favor the Chicago Platform. Kansas City. July 14. Some of the Kansas City Democrats who do not approve of the action of the Chicago convention are quietly circulating a petition among those of their faith, calling upon the eastern Democratic gold bugs to issue a call for another national convention to express the views of the sound money men of the party and nominate another presiden tial ticket. The petition sets forth that the sign ers are not in sympathy with the Chi cago platform. Attorney Jim Garner and A. L. O. Shueler are said to have the petitions in charge. Curfew at Columbus Ohio.

THE SILVER MOVEMENT Meeting of the Non-Partisan Silver Toters Last Night. Delegates Elected to Free Sil ver Convention. The Movement in Other Parts of the State Delegates to the State Convention Being Chosen. The meeting of the free silver men. Republicans, Democrats and Populists at the hall at 420 Kansas avenue last night was an enthusiastic one. Cheers greeted the word silver and the name Bryan whenever they were uttered. The meetng was called for the pur pose of selecting 16 delegates and their alternates to the Bimetallic league con vention that meets in Topeka Thursday to choose the Kansas delegates to the national convention at St. Louis on July 22. D. C. Tillotson presided and Col. Tom linson sat on the platform with him. Speeches were made by D. C. Tillot son, Col. Tomlinson, Charley Holliday, J. J. Miller, Fred Close and A. B. Hu lett. Mr. Tillotson said: "I am surprised that our friends, the Republicans should so suddenly denounce free sil ver. For years the Republicans adopt ed a free silver plankintheirevery plat form. The difference is that the Dem ocrats have now adopted the same plank. "I cannot act with the Republican party this year because: "They prefer the Wilson bill with gold to protection and both gold and silver. "They have eliminated the question of protection from this campaign by rendering it practically impossible for the Republicans to control the senate within the next four years. "They have made gold the single, practical issue in this campaign. "They have declared that, as a party, they are unable to legislate upon one of the most vital questions affecting the interests of this people except with the consent of foreign governments. "They admit that, for the American people, the gold standard is wrong and the free coinage of both gold and sil ver is right, but refuse to correct the wrong or do the right until permission is obtained from the British empire. "To such a platform Republicans trained to the principles and patriotism of Abraham Lincoln and James G. Blaine cannot subscribe, and those who acquiesce will do so against their bet ter judgment." Col. Tomlinson We want to be sure to send a good strong delegation to St. Louis, one that will do the very best thing for the silver cause. Let the delegation be composed of Republicans, Prohibitionists and Populists wTith a good scattering of Democrats to keep them straight. To expedite matters it was suggest ed that the chair appoint a nominat ing committee to select the delegates and alternates to the state meeting. J. II. Stevens, W. F. Rightmire, A. P. Shreve, A. M. Coville, and C. E. Pur viance were made the committee and while they were at Mr. Tillotson's office preparing the lists more speeches were made. Charley Holliday's speech was a graphic description of the Chicago con vention and the nomination of Bryan. His speech was frequently stopped by cheers. He said. "There probably never was such a convention. The only thing I prayed for while I was there was that my lungs might not give out. It was sim ply yell and new faces. From the time that David Overmyer of Kansas said that the star of empire had detached itself from the Alleghenies and settled in the Mississippi valley and when Bryan made that speech of his and the very rafters shook it was nothing but yell. Tou read of the cheers for gold there. I tell you, gentlemen, that dur ing the first two days of the convention the hall and galleries were packed with gold bugs. They were there to yell? But the delegates were there with the firm, unchangeable determination to do for silver or to die for silver. "On the first day of the convention Senator John Martin of this city went to Senator Hill and begged him not to allow the use of his name before the convention as a goldite in any way. 'For if you do," he said, 'the convention is full of silver men who will ride over you rough shod. And if they do,' said Senator Hill,' we will walk out of the convention.' 'Walk out," said Senator Martin, 'and 700 silver delegates, will jump to their chairs and cheer while you do it.' Tou all know the result. "The debate on the platform occu pied a good share of time. "Mr. Tillman was a disappointment to his silver friends. Hill, Russell and Vilas made speeches that few listened to and few cheered. But when Bryan arose and swept that magnetic glance of his about the hall people prepared to listen. And then he made a speech for silver that was so full of patriotism, truth, sense and kindness that when he sat down it seemed as though the cheers would burst the convention hall. The ovation lasted for perhaps half an hour, while state banner after state banner was torn up and carried over to the Nebraska delegation. I tell you it was a speech and an ovation the like of which has not been heard or seen in the world since the days of Christ. "After that the silverites had the convention and when on the fifth bal lot the stampede for Bryan with Ala bama in the lead took place the excite ment and joy in the convention was of the kind that has had but one pos sible equal in the history of the coun try and that the time of Lincoln's nom ination. It was the people's conven tion. The delegates were directly from the people.

It is the most sparkling, delicious and ap petizing beverage of the day. Md? mar fcr Th. Charle. K. Hire Co., Philadelphia. m L Millinery Dept.

York will be for Bryan and silver just as sure as Texas is. Tammany hall is not 2-oing to let go of New York, and even Mr. Hill will be out hustling and making votes for Mr. Bryan in the Empire state before the campaign is over." Applause.) Fred Close made a characteristic speech. J. J. Miller of North Topeka, a recent convert from Republicanism, said: "I was a Republican. Now they say I am a Popuiist. There is not much in a name. I had rather be a Populist than a Cleveland Republican." (Applause.) A. B. Hulett I was a Republican and I idic-ved in McKinley because I be lieved he was right, but when the news of that platform came from St. Louis I closed up my office and started to organize a Silver Republican club. I now have about 400 members. When we must be dictated to by people like Cy Leland I think it is time to get out of the party. When the roads send out blocks of passes to delegates to one convention and the delegates to the other convention pay their own fare. I think it is time to go with the crowd that paid its fare. When that plat form came out of Chicago last week 1 believe that Thomas Jefferson rose up in heaven and said, "The people are still true." At the close of the speeches and after the committee had reported and the list of delegates been adopted the delegates and alternates were made a committee of entertainment for Thursday. A. P. Shreve was made chief sergeant-at-arms of the state meeting, to choose his own assistants, and Charley Holli day was made a committee to secure delegate badges.

Many former Republicans were pres ent. L. R. Wright, candidate for the legis lature against I. E. Lambert, made a strong talk, urging voters to support only such men as were known to be heartily in favor of free coinage. Judge E. B. Peyton, Hon. J. fi. Horn barger and other prominent Populists and Democrats spoke for and pledged themselves to the Chicago platform and nominees.

CAN KEEP THEIR COWS. An Onslaught on City Cow Owners In the Interest of Town Milk men, Knocked Out By the City Coun cil Last Night. No Allowance for tho City Engineer's Horse Other Matters Before the. Covin ciL For more than an hour last night the city council talked about milkmen and dairies. The thermometer indicated 90 degrees but the sweltering heat only seemed to unloose the hinges of the ceity fathers' tongues. All the discussion was about a new milk inspection ordinance to provide for a small license fee for milkmen and for people in the city who keep more than two cows. The fee was placed at $1 per annum but the purpose of the or dinance was to serve as an aid for in spection of the milk by the food inspec tor. Councilman Drew opposed the ordi nance because it taxed the people living in the city $1 when they kept more than two cows. He thought they already paid tax enough. It has been the custom of many peo pie living in the city to engage in the dairy business," said CouncilmanSteph enson. "I have had much complaint lately on that account I think this or dinance should be amended by making it say how many cows should consti tute a dairy and then prohibit the keep ing of a dairy inside the city." "Do I understand that you would keep cows outside the city entirely?' asked Councilman Drew. Councilman Stephenson Only when there are more than three cows. For that matter the council may say what shall constitute a dairy and not allow a dairy to be kept inside the city. Councilman Pattison moved an amendment making only people who keep less than four cows amenable to the ordinance. Councilman Nettels said that was just why a new ordinance had been pre pared. The milkmen objected because it did not apply to people inside the city who kept three cows or more. Councilman Paulson's amendment was lost. Councilman Skinner objected to the new ordinance because of printing bills He said there was no use of a new or dinance. He inquired if there is not now a milk ordinance in force. Mayor Fellows said that there was but the food inspector had no way of finding the milkmen to make his tests of the milk. Councilman Burgess moved to strike out the fee of SI. Councilman Pattison said the fee was not excessive and the milkmen would not object to the tax. Councilman .Stephenson then offered his amendment making the keeping of three or more cows by one man, a dairy and prohibiting the keeping of dairies inside the city. Councilman Roundtree raised the point that the amendment could not legally go into the ordinance but City Attorney Bird said it would be legal. Councilman Nettels thought that the way to reach the dairymen inside the city was to compel them to keep their places clean. Councilman Skinner then moved to postpone the ordinance and ordinance, amendment and everything else went over without date. NO $10 ALLOWANCE. The City Engineer Must Pay for Keep ing His Horse. Councilman Nettels offered a resolu tion last night to allow City Engineer Barnes $10 per month for the use of his horse and buggy and he pulled down on his head such an overwhelm ing mass of protests that he had trou ble in extricating himseit. Councilman Burgess wanted the food inspector also allowed $10. He said that he gets up at 4 o'clock in the morning to look after shipments of meat and he should be allowed $10 to keep his horse. Councilman Skinner said he would ask to have the deputy street commis sioner paid $10 more and for a similar allowance for the sanitary officers. He would also ask that the pay of the deputy city clerk be raised. This was said in Councilman Skinner's most ironical tone. He said it was not bus iness to make the raise suggested. The city could hire men for $1 a day and there were many out of work and he. did not believe in squandering the peo ple's money. Councilman Drew I am glad the gentleman objects to this from a busi ness standpoint. You have to allow the engineer a horse or give him an assistant and which is the cheaper? I am just as anxious to economize as any one but I am also in favor of branch ing out a little. Councilmen Elliott, Stevens, Steph enson, and Warner opposed the reso lution. WThen it came to a vote Councilmen Nettels, Burgess, and Drew were the only members who voted for it. A LIGHT AT S HUNG ANTING A. The Dangerous Kansas Avenue Cross ing Will be Lighted. Councilman Roundtree introduced a resolution providing for a new electric light at the Kansas avenue crossing of Shungaunnga creek. Councilman Burgess objected to the purchase of new lights. Councilman Warner said he was ready to meet the objection. "The Fifth ward has not had its share of the lights." said he. "We have not ob jected but now we ask for a light in one of the most dangerous places In the city." Councilman Drew: The Fifth ward is not much larger than the Fourth. You were given 13 and we in the Fourth ward got only eleven. If new lights are to be distributed we want our share. Councilman Roundtree explained that part of the lights assigned to the Fifth ward were on the line of the Third ward. The resolution was finally adopted without division. AGAIN RESURRECTED. The Lower Dam Ordinance Introduc" ed but Not Acted Upon. The lower dam ordinance got Into the council last night. It was intro duced by Councilman Nettels (by re quest). Councilman Skinner suggested that action be deferred. Councilman Stevens thought the matter should be referred to some committee. It was accordingly referred to the committee on ways and means. A BICYCLE ORDINANCE. Glass, Nails and Tacks Must Not be Thrown Into the Street. The anti-puncture bicycle ordinance was called up by Councilman Nettels. The committee on judiciary reported the ordinance favorably. It was passed without opposition. It forbids people throwing glass, nails, tacks or any other substance likely to puncture bicycle tires into the streets. The penalty for the violation of the ordinance is made not less than $25. FREE LICENSES. Tne Usual List of People Given Per mission to Peddle.

Boon to sell mineral water. P. N. Hoard to sell cough and croup medicine. George Hungate's request to sell har ness dressing went to the committee on license with power to act. A BOAT LANDING WANTED. G. V. Barnes asked permission to build a boat landing in the city park. His request went to the committee on parks, which was given power to act. WILL BUILD NEW WALKS. "Walter Cox and twenty-five other cit izens living in the Second ward sub mitted a petition for new sidewalks on the west side of Lake street from Third to Fourth street. On motion of Coun cilman Stephenson the request was granted. PAVING ESTIMATE. City Engineer W. H. Barnes submit ted the final estimate in favor of H. K. Winans for paving Eleventh street. The total amount is $262.24. ASSESSMENT ORDINANCES. The regular annual assessment ordi nances were introduced and passed un der a suspension of the rules.

The city attorney was instructed to collect licenses from the scavengers. They are now working without licenses. A GLITTERING liMFE In the Hands of a Culprit in Justice Furry's Court While the trial of Simon Jones was being conducted in Justice Furry's court this morning. Constable Williams noticed a knife-blade glittering in Jones' hand, and he immediately ordered the colored man to give it up. Simon ob jected, but Justice Furry ordered him to do so, and told the constable to search him. Simon was being tried for disturbance of the peace. Frank Ellis, a colored man living in South Topeka, was the complaining witness. Simon Jones had disturbed the peace of Eliis' wife, and threatened to kill Ellis. He was found guilty this morn ing and fined $7r. The costs will amount in all the $32. So Simon Jones will have 107 days to work out on the county's stone pile. It is supposed that Simon had the open knife in his hand in order to stab Ellis or his wife. Simon is a high tempered fellow and has figured in sev eral disturbances. He served a long sentence in the city prison a few weeks ago. Attention Democrats!

This seems almost incredible, as every box has a positive guarantee accom panying it. All druggists sell it. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal.

Fifteen Thousand Visitors Are Expected. THE F0US DATS' rEOGHAMHE. Farpese of tke Ortraniamtlen It Does Not Antagonise the Christian Endeavor So ciety, but Seeks Denominational Edna tlon Some Bis Delectations Tho Next Conference. Milwaukee, July 10. Fifteen thou sand young people, members of the young people's societies of tho Baptist church will moot here in annual conference on Thurs day, July 16. This will be the sixth annual confer ence. The fifth was held at Baltimore last yetir and drew 10.000 visitors to the city. The seventh will be held ia Brook lyn In July, 1897, and already the officers of the union are estimating the Brooklyn crowd at 20,008. The Baptist Young People's Union of America is what this body of young churei workers ia celled. It embraces all the or ganizations formed by young people witi jorm n. chapma??, rp.EsiDEyrT b. t. p. tt. In tho Baptist church for the promotion of religious thought and religious work. It does not antagonize the Christian Endeav or society, yet it is in a sense inimical to that organization. Since it was formed it has taken from the strength of the Chris tian Endeavor society. Tho Methodist church has declared against the Christian Endeavor socisty be cause it teaches nothing of Methodism. The Presbyterian assembly has debated the question of following the lead of the Metho dists. The Baptists have not declared against tho Christian Endeavor society, but they have formed the B. Y. P. U., as it is known familiarly to its members, for the purpose of stimulating denominationalism among the young people of the church. The union takes in all local Christian En deavor societies which are attached to Bap tist churchaa. It includes in its member ship also tho young people's unions and young people's associations of the Baptist church. The Idea of tho union is to utilize the energy of the youn people of tho church along tlio lines of Baptist life and work. These young deoplo, it is argued, are to have charge of the church's interests some day. From the Christian Endeavor society they laarn nothing about the church. The organ of the Christian Endeavor society, Tho Golden Kule, publishes nothing de nominational. Therefore the young peo ple before tho establishment of the Baptist union had no moans of learning what the church was doing in mis sion work. Now tho Beptist young people have an organ of thoir own, The Baptist Union. It is a 16 piigo pappr, published in Chicago under the editorship of Frank L. Wilkins, D. D. Through this paper the educational work of the B. Y. P. U. is carried on. There are three educational courses tak en by young Baptists. These were estab lished within the B. Y. P. U. three or four years ago. The nrat is the Bible read ers' course, which includes a systematic reading of the Scriptures. The second is tho sacred literature course, and under this church history and t he distinct princi ples of the Baptist denomination are studied. The third is the missionary con quest courro. It dcils with mission work at home and abroad. Tho work iu these three courses Is con ducted through the Baptist union, which publishes every Saturday a signed lesson in each course. Profot-sor Ira M. Price of Chicago conducts ths Bible readers' course. The contributors to tho missionary con quest and sacred literature courses are se lected from time to timo from the list of church workers. Each course is conducted for eight months of each year and runs for four years. At the end of the four years examination paper3 are sent to the mem bers of the union. They aro returned to the hoadouarters of the union in Chicago for inspection, and to those members who have passed the examination certificates are sent. At 10 o'clock Thursday morning Presi dent John H. Chapman of Chicago will open tite convention in tho Exposition building. Rev. D. B. Cheney of Bicine, Wis., will lead devotional exereises, and then Rev. E. W. White of this city wiil de liver an address of welcome ou behalf of the churclies, and E. W. Drake, president of the Milwaukee B. Y. P. U. on behalf of the young people's societies. Rev. E. M. Poteat,, D. X)., of New Haven will re spond. Then the annual reports will be present ed by Frank L. nilikus. D. D.. general secretary, and Frank Moody, treasurer. Rev. Alux Blackburn, D. D., of Cam bridge, Mass., will speak on "The Pastor's Place acd Power In Our Work," and Rev. W. W. Landrum, D. D., of Richmond, on "The Young People's Movement and Revivals. At tho afternoon session of the first day there will bo a praise service, led by JU W. Budlong of Providence; three addresses on "The Young People's Society as a Train ing School," by Kev. Thomas J. "Villers of Syracuse, Rev. W. E. Witter of Bes Moines and aACter speaker, agd ,aJa5iLAi0lr, conducted by Rev. M. H Thomas, D. D., of Topeka. Then the general conference will ad journ, and the delegates will hold workers' conferences at four places of assembly. At the evening session of tho conference Rev. K. C. Mallory, D. D., of Aberdeen, S. D., will lead a praise service, and re ports from the workers' conferences will be made. Then the president will deliver his annual address. On Friday morning at 6:30 there will be praise meetings at four churches, and at 9:30 the workers' conferences will be re sumed. The general conference will not meet until 8 p. m. and after a praise serv ice, led by Rev. E. H. Shanks of St. Louis, Mich., there will be the impressive saluta tion of the flags, conducted by Secretary Wilkins. Theu the state and provincial unions, 34 in number, will report their work. From the Exposition building the dele gations will march to places appointed for holding state and provincial rallies. At the evening session Charles K. Mor gan of Omaha will lead the praise service. Reports from the workers conferences will bo received. The annual election will be held, addresfie3 on "Tho Young Christian and His Training, by Rev. Thomas S. Barbour, D. D., of Elizabethtown, N. J., and President B. L. Whitman, D. D., of Washington, will close the session. In almost all the states there are state organizations of these societies of Baptist young people, and in most of the associa tions into which the Btptist church is di vided in each state there are association organizations also. In the general union there are four groupings of tho societies under the colors red, green, gold and blue. The department of the red includes the Canadian provinces; the department of the gold, the northern states east of the Mis sissippi river; the department of the blue, the northern states west of the Mississippi river; tho department of tho green, the southern states. Each of these departments Is governed by a department committee of five of the older members of the church. Like the Christian Eudeavor society, the B. Y. P. U. has an auxiliary organiza tion for very young people, it is called the Junior union, and its interests are repre sented in two pages of the official organ. Tho delegates to the annual conference are chosen by the local societies. The rep resentation is one delegate for 25 members, and when the conference assembles an ap proximate idea of the membership of the union can be formed. There is no r3cord at headquarters of tho membership. The conference ia called for Thursday, July 16, but preparatory services are to be held in all the Baptist churches and mis sions of Milwaukee on the night of the 15th, and most of the delegates are expect ed to arrive on Weduesday. On Thursday morning prayer meetings will be held in four Baptist churches at 6:30 surrender meetings, they will be called. They are a now feature of the con ference. The city has been divided into four sections for the work of the confer ence, and the surrender meetings will be located so as to nccommodato the four sec tions. Rev. S. Hartwell Pratt of Spring field, Mass. Rev. E. H. Lovctt of Daven port, Ia. Rev. L. L. Henson of Fort Wayne, Ind. and Samuel G. Neil of Bris tol, Conn. will preside over the meetings. At 6:30 Saturday morning will be held four promise meetings. At 9:30 mass meetings will bo held by dalegations of the four divisions the blue, the green, the red and the gold. At 2 in the afternoon there will be a ral ly of the juniors, whii will be addressed by Rev. R. F. Y. Pierra of Philadelphia. At the evening session of the general conference "Christian Patriotism audits Foes" will be discussed. On Sunday there will be three sessions. The first will be held in the churches. The seooud will be held at the Espssi tion building and will be devoted to mis sion work. Representatives of seven or more races will be present to address the conference. In the evening the final ses sion will be held. Arthur Gaylord Slocum, LL. D. will deliver an address of thanks to the churches and citizens of Milwaukee; Rev. H. M. Wharton, D. of Baltimore will deliver a consecration address, and there will be a ennsvferation service with a poll call conducted by Secretary Wilkins. Milwaukea has made greut preparations for the entertainment of her Baptist guests, and every citizen is a member of the gen eral reception committee which will make tho welcome. The largest delegations will doubtless come from Illinois. Iowa, Indiana, Michi gan and Ohio, with Pennsylvania and Sew York represented by -several hundred each.

"-Detroit Free Press. A GHOSTLY RACE. "Do you have to carry a lamp to ride here nights?" I asked. '"Tisn't necessary," said the hotel keeper. Thanks, I called back as I dropped into the saddle. A few minutes later I was skimming past the isolated houses on the outskirts of the village. The night was an ideal one for a cyclist The breeze was cool and gentle, and as the moon climbed higher flickering black shadows ilanced to and fro on a road of milky whiteness. I passed a couple of merry wagon parties, and then as I sped along the winding pike the ?ign9 of civilization grew fewer until only the well kept thorough fare served as a reminder of the hand of man. Now, the woods on either side of the road became more frequent, and I shot along under long archways of trees. Soon I entered anot her avenues of trees. I hummed softly to myself a few snatches of song and was In the gayest of spirits. Then I became aware of a presence at my side. I swerved violently and missed by a hair's breadth a collision with a wheelman who had noiselessly overtaken me. So startled was I that I uttered an angry ex clamation as I recovered myself. The strange rider shot ahead a few feet and then dropped back at my side. A sharp rebuke was on my tongue, when I checked myself and sought a closer glimpse of my unbidden companion. He held his place at my side with no apparent exertion, al though our pace was rapid, and I soon be came aware that his conduct was, to say tho least, peculiar. Bent low over a pair of racing handle bars, his face was screened from view in the uncertain light. As accurately as I could discern, he was garbed In a suit ol black tights. On his head was a close fit ting cap. His figure was tall, slender and athletic. But what most attracted my at tention was his w heel, which seemed to be of such marvelously fine construction that it slipped along without the click of a chain link or the creak of a saddle nut. He rode so close to me that I could have touched him by putting out my hand, yet never once did he raise his head or by word or sign give indication that he was aware of my presence. Side by side we shot out Into an open stretch of read. That I was being used aa a pacemaker soon became evident. It net tled me when I found that e rery time I slackened speed he did likewise, and every time I pedaled more rapidly he held his position at my elbow. His conduct and his silence disturbed my peace of mind, and I decided to rid myself of his company. I in creased the pace slowly at first, and when we reached a slight incline I let out a few links more and shot up the grade at top speed. My emotion upon reaching the top of the hill was that of chagrin when I found him still at my side, his head bent low, his legs working with the ease and pre cision of piston rods. I held the pace until I panted for wind, but the black rider was apparently tireless. A dozen times I wa on the point of speaking, and finally I blurted: "Fine night." He made no answer, nor even turned his head. I was astonished beyond measure and felt my anger slowly rising. The pace did not slacken rather it increased yet never for an instant did our positions vary an inch. Through woods and over hills we flew. The perspiration rolled eff my forehead and into my eyes until they smarted, yet the stranger gave no signs of distress. A heart breaking hill loomed ahead, and I summoned energy for a su preme effort. My wheel swayed and shiv ered under the strain as I shot up tho in cline, but my companion never faltered. When we reached the sumaiit, Le was still gliding ut my side like a shadow. A steep descent followed, and we rushed down at unabated speed. I looked ahead and perceived several hundred yards in advance a small lake which the road encircled aftor an abrupt turn to tiie rieht. I also perceived that a narrow footbridge devoid of handrail crossed the pond where the highway curved. I glancpd at the strange rider. His gaze seemed bent npon the ground, as though he were oblivious of any impend ing danger. The situation was becoming critical. We could never make the turn at the speed at which we were traveling, yet the grade was so steep and the distance so short that to slow down was impossible. To cross the bridge was the only chance, yet there was room for but one abreast, and who would give way? Dogged and angry, I resolved that I would not. Fifty yards more and we would be upon It. I bent lower and rode like a domon. Twenty-five yards, and I had gained not an inch. "Give way!" I called hoarsely, and I gripped my handle bars nntil it seemed as if the steel must crumble in my fingers. Five yards more and then disaster must come. Suddenly the stranger shot out, and, with a clatter and never a check in our furious career, we were upon the narrow structure, my wheel lapping his by several Inches. Then, to my horror, the black rider sat erect and slackened speed. I yelled with terror and back pedaled until my chain screeched and groaned over the sprocket as though it would purt. The wheels now lapped by a foot, and the crash would be in an instant. I remember seeing the black rider turn and sway in his saddle like a drunken man. There was the flash of a ghastly white face, and I shut my eyes and waited for the shock. Loose boards rattled under my wheel. There was a jolt, aud I felt myself shoot out upon the road. I glanced back. Therein the cold, white moonlight was the marshy lake, the narrow footbridge, the nodding trees. Nothing more. The black rider had vanished. A wild terror seized me. How I reached the hotel I could cover afterward remem ber, for I went over the same road two days afterwartl, and it was utterly strange to me. All I recall is that I reeled into tho yard. Then there was a blank until I found myself lying on a bench with a cu rious crowd of men gathered around me. You fellers always ride fit ter kill yer selves," said a man. "What! You came over tiie little tridge? There was a city feller drowned in that pond ono night last Bummer. We found him and his wheel in three foot of water the next day. Brook lyn Eagle.

NEW YORK BANKERS ACT. They Will Go En Masse to the II c- Xinley Ticket New York, July 14. Within the past day or two expressions have been se cured from bankers and moneyed men which show that those who have been Democrats will vote for MciKnley this year. The poorer classes are, however, not so ready to leave the party with which they have been accustomed to act. The fact that the wealthy classes are going to McKinley has reacted to some extent on the Democratic work ingmen who regard their interests as separate from their employers. President John P. Townsend of the Bowery Savings bank says: "The issues of today in their import ance are hardly second to those which prevailed" in 1860. Then the northern delegates were cried down. Just as Mr. Whitney and his coadjutors have been in Chicago, and the result was three tickets, although Mr. Lincoln was elect ed in the end. To my mind we are fac ing a very grave crisis at this time. It is not a contest between gold and silver so much as it is between gold on one side and fence rails on the other side, backed up by a combination of elements and headed by the Populists who would foist upon the country the income tax." John Harsen Rhoades, president of the Greenwich Savings bank, at Six teenth street and Sixth avenue, was asked the same question as affecting the Democratic side of the question. "A very grave mistake in my judgment." he said at once and with emphasis, "and you cannot put my objection too strongly. There is not a new Issue be fore the convention in Chicago. There has been a covert advocacy of it cover ing the past ten years, and literature has been secretly Issued by the tun. poisoning the minds of the American people with false beliefs on the question of money. The time lias come to squarely draw the line, and it is not to be drawn, to my mind, between par ties. The time has come for us all to rise above party consideration, and to assume a patriotic attitude. As I wrote to a friend some time ago, it is not a party issue, but the moment has arrived when we should stand for pro tection, sound money and the honor of the flag Why, you know, that part of the secret literature on this subject which has gone abroad accused the bankers of the east of coming Into col lusion to precipitate the panic of 1S92. It has tainted the minds of men every where." Henry Clews said: "All that is known about Bryan is through his speech, which proved him to be a dealer in words, and which is evidently the only qualification that obtained for him the nomination. He is certainly too younir to have had any experience in states manship to equip him for the executive office. He is a good man to be easily beaten by his opponent. who has the ad vantage of having a platform to stand on that commends itself to Democrats and Republicans alike who feel an in terest in perpetuating the government and maintaining its high credit and the solvency of the nation. "We now have all there is to come from the Chicago convention, the worst anticipations of which have been more than realized. The long expected has come at last, and. as usual, it has been discounted in advance in the stock market. The only thing now left to do is to begin to discount the utter route and defeat of the political rebels at tho polls next November, which shuold be to every sagacious thinker a foregone conclusion." FOR POPULIST CONVENTION All Railroads Except Eastern Roads Give Reduced Rates. St. Louis, July 14. The following an nouncement was given out last night: "All railroad associations in the United States except the Trunk Line associa tions, with headquarters in New Yovk, and embracing the following lines: Baltimore Ohio, Central Railway of New Jersey, Chesapeake Ohio, Dela ware, Lackawanna Western, Erie railroad, Grand Trunk railroad, Lehigh Valley road, New York Cer ti al Hud son River, New York, Ontario West ern, Pennsylvania railroad, Philadel phia Reading and West Shore, and the New England association, with headquarters in Boston, have given a one fare for the round trip commencing July 19, for all delegates and visitors to the People's party convention and sil ver convention, both of which meet in St. Louis, July 22.

A Doctor Summoned Late at Night to Care for a Wounded Man. Several toughs of the North side had a round up last night which they were allowed to enjoy without molestation from the police. Their rendezvous was in a small frame house near the corner of Paramore and Jefferson streets, and with the aid of fluid refreshments the crowd settled down about 9 o'clock to make the remainder of the night hilar ious. This they succeeded in doing un til the game waV broken up by a run in which one of their members was badly cut and bruised. Late last night Dr. Mitchell was call ed to the corner of Paramore and Jt-f-ferson where it was said a man haV becu seriously injured. On arriving a', the house he found a young man ho v gave his name as Frank Wilson in a sorry condition. His head, face and wrists were badly cut. as thouph bv a knife, and his body severely bruised. He said that he worked at the com mission house of II. F. Nonken Co., 921 Kansas avenue, but refused to say how his injuries wire received. It is supposed that a fight occurred either in the house of the immediate neigh borhood, and that a knife was used on Wilson. The entire company, men and women, were in an intoxicated condi tion. It was stated at the commission house of Nonken Co. this morning that a young man who suited the description but not the name worked there, but he had not shown up as usual this morn- He is the same young man who took an overdose of murpliiue several jiveeks! ago. r f

The William Henry Harrison tomb at North Bend was visited last week by ex-President Harrison and Mrs. Harrison. General Harrison remained in the tomb for fully an hour, noting- carefully its location and condition. It is his intention to erect a marble tomb over the present one, which shall mark the resting place for the Harrisons. Without doubt no more appropriate or beautiful spot could be found in the United States. It is at the very pin nacle of a mound overlooking the Ohio. Just down the river is the old Harri son homestead, where Benjamin spent his boyhood days. SENATORS WON'T FUSE. 33 ol ting Silver Republicans Opposed to Bryan for President. New York, July 14. The Morning Journal publishes a communication from Senator R. F. Pettigrew of South Dakota, in which he says: I intend to join the Populists. I ex pect to be at the St. Louis convention. The Democrats here had a chance of nominating a certain winner, and they have neglected their opportunity. The Journal also has the following from Senator Lee Mantle of Montana, dated Chicago: "The nomination of Mr. Bryan will not unite the silver sentiment of the country. I have already predicted that, ahd see no reason to change my opinion. Mr. Bryan, as I read his rec ord, is an out and out free trader. "While many of our free coinage Repub licans sincerely believe that the finan cial question is the paramount issue, they will refuse to vote for a free trader. That is the weakness of Mr. Bryan. "It is extremely unfortunate that the Democrats have nominated an extreme free trader just at this time. Free trade is hostile to the American policy and the sentiment of the Amer ican people. For myself I shall wait for the decision of the two conventions in St. Louis before I determine what I shall do." Pass the good word along the line.

Thinks the Nomination of Bryan Sat isfactory to Laboring Men. Kansas City, July 14. General Mas ter Workman J. R. Sovereign of the Knights of Labor is at the Centropo lis hotel. The labor leader attended the Demo cratic convention In the interests of the working-men. He was in Chicago ten days before the opening of the first day's session, and was an eye witness to all the proceedings. "It was the greatest convention ever held in this country," said Mr. Sov ereign. "It was the most demonstra tive and enthusiastic ever witnessed by any citizen of the United States, and I tell you it was an ideal convention, no pre-arranged plans, no political pulling and chicanery. "I am confident that the People's party convention in St. Louis will not only endorse Bryan, but they will nom inate him and the nomination will be unanimous. "Are the Democratic nominations favored by the laboring masses in gen eral?" Mr. Sovereign was asked. "Should the convention have been composed exclusively of laboring men they could have made no choice that would have given more general satis faction. I expect the nominations to be endorsed by the Knights of Labor and all other labor organizations through out the United States." DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS. Senator Jones Will Announce the Democratic Executive Committee From Washington. Chicago, July 14. Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic national executive committee, left for Washington yesterday and will an nounce from there the executive com mittee of the national committee which will have charge of the cam paign. The place of the formal notification of the Democratic presidential and vice presidential candidates has not yet been determined, but will be in a few days. It is stated that personally Mr. Bryan prefers New York city, and it is probable that this place will be se lected, the time probably the second week in August. WALSH FOR SECRETARY. Manager of Boies' Campaign is Made Secretary of Democratic Com mittee. Chicago, July 14. C. A. Walsh of Iowa who has handled the campaign of Horace Boies in the convention just closed, has been selected temporary secretary of the national Democratic committee, and the understanding is that his appointment will be confirmed and made permanent when the com mittee meets again. Mr. Walsh's appointment was some what of a surprise to him. as he had not been an active candidate for the position. He was selected Saturday, and was notified that he could have the position if he wanted it. Mr. Walsh met Senator Jones, the new chairman, and told him he would accept.

TO WiOEflTHERQM3WM Perhaps the New Bridge Can Be Made Wider Than the Original Plans That Were Proposed. Edward Wilder and Others Moving for This Improvement Some thing About Bonds. There is a discussion going on which may lead to a change in the plans for the new bridge. Ever since the adop tion of the plans there has been com plaint that the roadway provided in the plans is too narrow. It is to be 27 feet and many people hoped that the bridge would be made as wide as Kansas ave nue. It was thought then that the cost of the bridge would almost reach $150,000, making provision for superintendents and inspection. The estimate for build ing the bridge according to the plans was $135,000 and this did not include the pay of the superintendent and oth er extras. When it came to awarding the con tract there was a spirited competition in the bidding and the contract was awarded for $125,000. Edward Wilder and several other prominent citizens are interested in the proposed change and will go before the board of county commissioners and advocate it. The board would have at least $15,000 to spend in adding to the bridge if the entire issue of the bonds is sold and though it is not known how much wider they would be able to make the bridge with that amount the change would greatly improve the roadway. The change would not necessitate awarding a new contract. The changes would be made under the present con tract and there would be no delay. The bridge bonds are still in the hands of the county commissioners. H. C. Speer, who purchased them was given five days from the time the su preme court gave a decision, to take the bonds. He is now in Chicago and reports that he will be ready to accept the bonds as soon as they can be de livered. Five days are allowed by law for the attorney general to file a mo tion for a rehearing in the supreme court. Attorney General Dawes says that no such motion will be made, but it is probable that Mr. Speer will wait until the expiration of the time before he pays for the bonds. The amount that will be received, according to the terms of the contract, for the $135,000 of bonds is $140,000. The commissioners have not formal ly discussed the bridge matter though the board is in session today. They say that they can only wait until the bonds are delivered when they will see to it that the construction of the new bridge is pushed rapidly. Trie first thing to be done will be to make provisions for taking care of the travel while the new bridge is being built. It is the intention of the con tractor to use the old bridge. It will be moved a short distance down the river and placed on piles. KANSAS PROSPEROUS WEEK X.ots of Wheat and Corn Still Prom ised Us. The weekly weather report issued by Weather Observer Jennings today says: The past week has been cool with oc casional showers in the .eastern and western counties, and abundant rains through the central counties. The tem perature during the week was from two to eight degrees below normal. In the eastern and central counties the weather has been very favorable to growing crops, although in the cen tral counties harvesting and haying have been greatly interfered with on account of the wet weather. In the eastern counties late corn is in tassel, and early corn is in roasting ears. In these counties it has been a good week for threshing and harvesting. In the western counties the weather has been very favorable for harvest ing, and this has been pushed vigor ously. It has been a good growing week, and all late fodder crops are in fine condition. Corn is tasseling. WON'T SUPPORT TICKET. Democratic Paper at Chattanooga, Tenn., Refuses to Indorse. Chattanooga, Tenn., July 14. The Chattanooga Daily Times, in its edi torial today says: "We will not stultify our record by advocating the election of the nominees. We are Democratic: this ticket is an archistic, socialistic, everything but Democratic. We cannot join a move ment in which Altgeld and Tillman, and their sort are set up as apostles. In the meantime we hold ourselves ready to co-operate with the true Dem ocrats of the country in such efforts as may be determined on as being best calculated to keep alive the principles of the party as laid down by Jeffer son, enforced by Jackson and vindicat ed by Grover Cleveland." MICHIGAN FOR BRYAN. A Republican Stampede to Him Has Begun in that State. Detroit, Mich., July 14. A stampede to the Democratic party has begun. It is altogether probable that the party organization will go to pieces and an alliance be formed with free silver Democrats. Signs of disintegration appeared just after the St. Louis con vention, and they reached their cli max when Mr. Bryan was nominated at Chicago. Last night clubs in Kent, Ing-lair and Minister counties telegraphed that they are all to secede to Bryan and free silver at their next meetings. Other telegrams marking the bolt to the Democratic cause came from Ins cola, Nucomb, Noidland, and Grand Traverse. In Jackson county a Repub lican leader permits himself to be quot ed as follows: "The party which nominated Bryan is not the Democratic party, but a new Democracy, called to the front by the demands of the times. There are thousands of Republicans in this coun ty and state who will vote for Bryan and free silver, and they come from the laboring and farming classes." The new alliance when formed will probably make Mayor Pingree their candidate for governor. Free Silver Convention At St. Louis, July 22d, the Santa Fe Route the home road will sell tickets July 19, 20 and 21, at one fare ($9.50) for round trip.

G. W. Stansfleld. The Kins of Fills i Beecham's BEECH AM'S WOULD HATE SHED BLOOD. Globe Democrat Prints an Improbable Story of the Convention. St. Louis, July 14. The Globe-Democrat today prints the following from Chicago: Several chapters of interesting politi cal secrets were written by the Demo cratic national convention of 1896, and some of them involve things which at one time threatened to make a dark j chapter in American history. It has escaped general attention that the committee on rules and order of business never did present a full re port, and behind this fact is concealed a queer story. But the election of Tem porary Chairman Daniel was attended by hidden circumstances, tinged with so sinister an aspect that men ac quainted with the details shuddered as they look back at the awful possibili ties that were once apparent. Six hundred men entered the Coli seum last Tuesday morning prepared to shed blood, were it necessary, to prevent Senator D. B. Hill from pre siding. The national committee had prom ised that both sides would be given a fair show, and the silverites conse quently hoped to gain their point by balloting. However, so bitter was the feeling at that time, it was feared that the gold standard national committee men might name and install Senator Hill as temporary chairman without submitting the matter to a vote. Preparations were made to either cir cumvent or block such a scheme if it were attempted. The steering commit tee took every precaution. Force would have been exercised had the occasion required. BOOTBLACKS' UNION. It Costs Kansas City Men 10 Cents Now for a Shine. Kansas City, July 14. A bootblacks' union has been organized in this city, and hereafter when anyone calls a bootblack to shine his shoes he can fig ure on the job costing him 10 cents, un less he happens to be wearing russet shoes, and in such event it will cost him 15 cents. For several months past the local shoe shiners have been trying to get to gether and fix a schedule of jpriees. This was accomplished Saturday at a meeting held in a hallway on Minne sota avenue. Every boy present agreed to main tain the schedule. The existence of a bootblacks' union was first discovered yesterday. The usual number of patrons were on the streets to get their regular Sunday shines. In several instances a nickel would be tendered the boy for his labor, but in every case he would look up and remark, "Come again, boss." This naturally caused the patrons who had heretofore paid 5 cents for the same work to inquire the occasion for the raise. The reply to this question was: "I belong to the union now." CARLISLE MAY WRITE. Will Urge Kentucky Democrats to Stand by Gold Standard. Washington, July 14. It is stated on good authority that Secretary Carlisle will soon write a letter to a prominent gentleman in Louisville, one of the leading Democrats in Kentucky, set ting forth his ideas as to the attitude the Kentucky Democrats should as sume in reference to the ticket nomi nated in Chicago. It is understood that the letter will be in the nature of an address to the people of the state, or at least it is in tended to be used in that way, and will reiterate Mr. Carlisle's well known sound money views, and will urge every member of the party to stand by the gold standard. Mr. Carlisle is daily receiving letters from all over the state assuring him that the Bryan-Se-wall Populistic ticket will have very few supporters there. DONNELLY AND HILL.

HARRISON TO CAMPAIGN. It is Said He Will Make Speeches for Gold Standard. Indianapolis, Ind., July 14. The statement was made last night by friends of ex-President Harrison that he will make a number of speeches for the gold standard in the coming campaign, and that he will enter upon his labors as soon as he returns from his eastern trip. According to these statements he will confine his speeches solely to the mon ey question, will avoid everything of a partisan character, and will permit no demonstrations whatever in his honor. Though he will be under the direction of the Republican national committee and will speak at places designated by that body, he will not speak as a Re publican, but as a gold standard man. and his appeals will be to that clas alone.

In an interview he says he is a candidate for congress, but that he will not at the present time say whether or not he in dorses the Chicago platform. He is a gold standard man. and made a speech before the state convention, which was composed largely of the free silver element. It is believed he will bolt the platform, running indepen dently.

When Bryan had finished, it is said Mr. Peck turned to a friend and said: "That was a most wonderful speech.
