With a thorough ‘organization of sh® party Missouri will go 50,000 or 80,000 democratic. The New York Sun, supporting McKinley, considers the election in Alabama a bad omen for the single gold standard. St. Louis Chronicle:—The shal- lows may murmer while the deeps are dumb, but the shallows don’t de- liver speeches like Candidate Bryan's. EC Se _”? The trusts and manufactures are opposed to the circulation of ‘silver except as a convenience for change, they want a high priced hard-to-get dollar. The New York World a gold bug paper, says Bryan's reception at Madison Square garden was the big- gest thing of the kind ever witness. ed in that city. Cd Clinton Democrat—What has be- some of those Democratic papers who urged the elaim of Joe Shelby Yor Governor? They seem to have “taken to the woods” very suddenly. EE Secretary Hoke Smith has come gut squarely and unequivocally for Brayn and Sewall and the Chicago platform. He says while hesfavored the gold standard it is the duty of every democrat to submit to the ac- tion and will of the party. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 9.---Fer- dimand Wiater, for many years the Jaw partner of Gen. Harrison, an- mounces today that after careful study of the question he has decid- ed toespouse the cause of free ailver. He always has been a repub- lican, and one of the leaders in the state. The executive eommittee of the sound money bolting democrats, The on York World makes the| Senator Thurston's defease of| statement that Mark Hanna has offered Bourke Cockran five thousand speech. Why employ a gold bug democratic lawyer to undertake the task when the party has such able statesmen as McKinley, John Sher- man, Foraker and Thurston. Hanna ought to pit one of these men and save his five thousand to buy vetes. What's the matter with Hon. D. A. DeArmond as one of Missouri's representatives in the senate’? Intel- lectually he is the peer of any man in the state-—Lamar Democrat. There is nothing the matter with right goed and very grateful to his friends of the democratic party fora renomination for congress by accla- mation for the fourth term. St. Louis Chronicle:—The free coinage of silver might not become operative the first instant Bryan was installed, if he were elected, but it’s surer than death and taxes that the word “coin,” wherever it occurs in the United States Constitution and the laws framed in pursuance there of, would mean silver as well as gold promptly on the stroke of 12 noon, March 4, 1897, if Bryan were Presi- dent. Gov. Stone telegraphs chairman Cook of the state committee from New York, that Mr. Bryan will speak in St. Louis, between the 5th and 10th of September. The exact date could not be fixed. ‘This meeting said Mr. Cook, will be made the Opening of the campaign in this state. An effort will be made by the democratic clubs of Kansas City to have Mr. Bryan speak in that city. The manufacturing establishments of Pittsburg, which closed down about a month ago for the purpose of intimidating their men on the money question in an attempt to force them to vote for McKinley have started up again and are running on double time. Closing down the mills and throwing men out of employment had a contrary effect to that antici- pated by the manufacturers and it was learned that the employees could not be forced by that method into the support of McKinley und the gold standard. The Globe-Democrat and other re- publican payers, will learn later that their attempt to fool the people into the belief that silver sentiment is dying out and all republicans who went off with the silverites after the nominations at Chicago are going back to the republican ticket and gold standard,will not bear fruit. Es- pecially is this truein this part of the country where republicans who have left their party on the money ques- tiom are even more outspoken and positive than the democrats, if com- parison is to be made. There are very many good reasons why the young men of Missouri should be educated at the State University. The educational advan- tages offered are not excelled in the west, if in the United States. It gives the advantage of an ac- quaintance, and in many instances of strong friendship formed in every section of the state which in after life is of inestimable benefit.

Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 14.—Sena- tor John L. Mitchell, of Wisconsin, who has thus far been classed with the gold standard democrats, to day authorized the announcement that he would support Bryan and Sewall and the free silver platform. Mr. Mitchell is in Washington and his determination to stand by the Chi- cago nowinees was wired by him to friends here. Gail Hamilton Dead. | Hamilton, Mass., Aug. 18.—Abi-| gail Dodge, better known as Gail Hamilton, the writer, who has been | ill at her home here for some time, | died last night. Miss Dodge sus | j tained a stroke of paralysis while/| sitting at the breakfast table Sunday | dollars to answer Bryan’s New York | the Judge except that he is feeling! himself against the charge of pro- mulgating false accusations against Mr. Bryan will hardly serve the pur- pose. The charge was that Mr. Bryan had been for years in the em- ploy of and under pay of the bonan za silver mine owners as an ettorney to proselyte the public in favor of ithe free coinage of silver at the ratio | of 16 to 1. In an open letter to Sen- ator Stewart, Senator Thurston pro- tests that he only read, as part of his speech at Madison, Wis., an edi- torial in the Chicago Chronicle, which made the charge. But that was by implication an indorsement of the charge. Thurston was quite as blamabe as the newspaper. Be- sides the newspaper contradicted itself, and. asa keen reasoner and capable lawyer, the Nebraska Senator ought to have discredited it, er at least have given the accused the benefit of the doubt, which he didn't. The Chicago paper stated that the bonanza silver kings having wearied of congreesional services, ‘deputized attorneys and other employees to take their places and vote for pro- tective tariffs and free silver,” and added, ‘“‘among the many who have been thus employed and carried on the pay rolls of the big bonanzas for a number of years is William J. Bryan of Nebraska.” Now, as a matter of fact, Mr. Bryan never ad- vocated a protective tariff. While in Congress he was among the most eloquent, forceful and vigilant op- ponents of protective tariff, and no doubt Senator Thurston was perfect ly informed on the subject. Yet he gave currency to aslander which he knew to be half a falsehood and had every reason to think was entirely a fabrication. That was unbecoming a Senator and unworthy a statesman. and the more ke talks about it, the worse it seems. According to a pop- ular story, the parrot that lost its tail feathers knew what was the matter with it. Senator Thurston ought to be as wise as the bird.— Kaveas City Star. STONE MAY BE CHAIRMAN. Bryan Said te Have Selected Him to Manage his Campaign. New York, Aug. 17.—Unless every sign fails Gevernor William J. Stone of Missouri will be the oext chair- man of the Democratic national campaign comuittee. If this should preve to be true—and there appears to be no reason for doubting the statements to that effect made here today—it is a sad and overwhelming defeat of the schemes of the Mary- land and Arkansas statemen. Mr. Stone will cease to be Gov- ernor of Missouri in January. His ambition is to succeed George G. Vest in the United States Senate, although, should Mr. Bryan be elected, he may be secretary of the Interior. He isa fighter and a man opposed in politica to all kinds of compromises. Hence, the almost head of the campaign committee. One of the political leaders here, who recently talked with Governor Stone as to his being named as the active leader of the Bryan forces, said this afternoon that he kelieyed the Governer was seriously consid- ering the advisability of aecepting the honor. The gentleman added: “But the Governor said if he took the position he would have to resign the Governorship at once.” As his term will last but 4 months longer, this would not bea serious matter for his party in Missouri. The real significance of his selection would lie in the fact that Eastern Demecrats of the Gorman type, who have felt that it would yet prove profitable to deal with gold men, have been thrown everboard. They cat follow the Bryan band wagon if they wish to, but they will net be solicited to do se, nor will their aid be asked by the promise of political preferment. Of course the immediate personal and political friends of Mr. Bryan | are jubilant over his reported selec- tion of a Western and Southera man jcombined for the chairmanship of the campaign committee.

I asked Governor Bob—I am well aequainted with him—what it all meant, and he answered that the upheaval had but begun, and that before November there would be such a revolution in politics as was never known in the history of the country. I found not only democrats, but | republicans as well shouting for Brvan and Sewall and the name of McKinley rarely mentioned. This is the present status in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, and it will take mountains of argument to over- come it, if, indeed, it can be over- come at all. CHICAGO FINALLY SELECTED. Washington, D. C., Aug. 16.— Senator Jones yesterday afternoon made the following statement: “The headquarters of the national Demo ington City. A part of the campaign committee, and sufficient to conduct the business of the campaign for the present, has been appointed. The gentlemen selected so far are: John R McLean, Ohio; D. G. Campau, Michigan; J. D. Jebnson, Kansas; Clark Howell. Georgia; Bradley nois. Mr. J L. Morris has also been selected as assistant treasurer of the national committee at Washington. Other appointments will be made as occasion requires. The executive committee will be appointed later. Mr. Gorman was requested to accept a place on the campaign coramittee. He declined because of the selection of Chicago, as he could not very well go so far from his own State. He will be as a member of the national committee engaged actively in the meeting,” said Mr. Cook, ‘will be made the opening event of the cam- pa‘gn. Of course, meetings will be held in the meantime, but the campaign will be formally opened in Missouri by Mr. Bryan's speeeh. | SOUND MUNEY MAN’S ADMISSION The South Solid for Silver—Taylor’s Prophecy.

You can hear | nothing else throughout the entire south, and if an election should be |held to morrow there would bea |clean sweep for Bryan and Sewall jand free silver. “I was struck with |the very great change which has | been wrought by the people since jmy former trip among them last |fall.
