Never did the republican cause have such mighty support from the newspapers of the United States as it has today. This help is not confined to the republican press alone, but includes many of the greatest newspapers which have hitherto advocated the democratic cause. (Great applause.) “All this is an evidence that the people appreciate that a great crisis is upon them, ard that the way to avoid that crisis is for patriotic men of every section of the coun- try to unite and act together in the com- mon cause ef country. (Great applause.) “It is the selfish concern, therefore, that prompts me to express the hope that’ West Virginia may become permanently a repub- lican state. (Cheers and cries of ‘It will go republican this fall, all right.’) “And that what she gained so gloriously In 184 will not be lost in 186. (Great ap- plause.) The republican party aims higher than that—it is not merely the success of individuals or party, but the good of the country it seeks; and it ie in that spirit, animated only by patriotic sentiment, that I wish always to constantly speak and act. (Applause.) There is, in my judg- ment, no state whose prosperity is linked more closely to republican policies than West Virginia. You have extensive river commerce, both on the Ohio and the Ka- nawha; and this is never so prosperous and active as when your great steel and fron interests, your mines, your mills, your fac- to- for vor nt, | tories are busily employed.

BRYAN SPEAKS AT COLUMBUS. The Democratic Nominee at Ohio's Capital, There was another demonstration p. the Bryan party when they left Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday for Columbus. About the hotel and depot large crowds had gathered in order to catch a parting glance of the nomine». The Columbus reception com- mittee took charge of the party ial car had been provided, and it was deco- rated inside and out with bunting, while on each side of the car was a great banner bearing the inscripti “W. J. Bryan, Our Next President.” About two hundred laborers employed in the shops about the depot came over to grasp the hand of the nominee and assure him of their support. As Mr. Br ‘yan stood on the rear platform of the train the crowd cheered him time and time again. One of them called out, “They can drive a horse to water, but they can't make him érink,” and the others cheered and indorsed the statement. Detective C. H. Kettles of Cleveland was in charge of the train and acted as Mr. Bryan’s body guard. At every village through which the train passed hundreds were gathered at the depot in order to catch a glance of the nominee as he passed through. There were but three stops made, and at these places Mr. Bryan shook hends with those assembled. He spoke a few words to the crowd at Grafton, Crestline, Shelby and Delaware, and at each of these places was cheered and ap- plauded. : He arrived in Columbus nearly an hour late. The first stop after the train left Cleve- lard was at the little town of Shelby junc- tion. Here 700 laboring men had gathered to see the nominee, and a hearty cheer went up as the train pulled in. There were loud cries for a speech from Mr. Bryan, but he excused himself on the plea that he was too hoarse and that he wanted to save his voice for the Columbus mect- ing. This would not satisfy the crowd, however, and they still demanded that the candidate should talk. Mr. Bryan re- plied that if he had time he would like to give them a silver speech, but owing to the fact that he was unable to do so he would furnish a substitute. . “I will appoint each one of you a sub- stitute to make a silver speech on election day when you go to vote,” he said. “You might forget what I wotld say today, but you will not forget what you will’ say when you come to make your specch.”” Then the crowd howled, and Mr. ond Mrs. Bryan shook hands with those near them. Four young men in the outskirts of the gathering attempted to start a Mc- Kirley yell, but the admirers of the demo- cratic nominee would not have it and drowned the effcrts of the McKinleyites with a hearty’ cheer for Bryan. Spoke in the Capitol Grounds. Mr. Bryan had the capitol grounds at Columbus for his forum, and the memory of lucal politicians contains no such dem- onstrations. Inhabitants say that no other attraction has ever drawn so strongly in Columbus except a display of fireworks in connection with the state fair on the same grounds two years ago, when 50 per cent more people were gathered. A roofed and flag-draped platform faced the eastern front of the capitol building, and as Mr. Bryan looked down from its height, twenty feet above the plain of faces, he saw the steps and terraces packed in solid rows, with the gloomy stone wall for the background, while about the other three sides of the stage across the lawn of several acres to the street beyond stood regiments, of which an accurate estimate was an impossibility and which a careful guess would place at 30,000, Looking down from the roof of the cap- itol building an hour before the candidate's arrival, one saw the whole place about its four sides swarming with men, women and children, a large part of the city’s popula- tion, reinforced by visitors to the state fair. ‘They josiled and pushed about the grounds and poured through the corridors of the building in kaleidoscopic currents, cheering the sky rockets which pcpped in the air and the brass bands stationed on the steps for their entertainment. On account of the size of his audience, Mr. Bryan “adopted a novel method of speaking, talking to sections of the crowd alternately fidin cach pf the four sides of the platform. ‘Even then not more than a tenth of the people could hear him. He was introduced by Allen W. Thurman, who has been fighting for free silver in Ohio for several years, and after the candidate's speech the democratic nominee for Con- gress in the-Columbus district, John J. Lentz, addressed the remainder of the crowd. Mr. Bryan said: “This is the largest audience to which I ever tried to speak. I have had occasion to talk where the audience filled the house, but I never had the ocgasion to talk where the audience filed all out of doors. If you all vote you now shcut I don’t see how there can be any question about the tri- umph of free silver in the state of Ohio. We have entered upon a campaign which means much to the American people. If your opponents speak truly when they de- scribe what will in their judgment be the effect of free coinage, then the success of the Chicago ticket would certainly be a calamity to the countr; hand, If, on the other speak the truth when we de you the effects of a gold stand- ard continued, then the maintenance of the gold standard’ until foreign nations come to our relief is an evil which cannot be con- templated by those who love their coun- try. We have hegun an unceasing warfare against the gold standard. The republican we party without declaring the gold standard is a good thing has declared that the gold standard must be maintained. I call your attention to the fact that no party in the history of this country has ever in a na- tional convention commended the gold standard Its effects are so bad that no party has dared to uphold it.” An Interrupted Speec! Here Mr, Bryan went from the front of the platform to the side, first excusing himself to the audience in front as follows: “Excuse me for one moment and perhaps by making them hear me on the other le I will b+ able to bring order out of con- fusion. 1f you peopie here will be as still as you are now for a little while, 1 will come back to you.” Mr. Bryan the platform, saying I desire to impress upon your minds the fact that the encmy we are fighting in this campaign 1s an enemy which has never gone into an open battle. The advocates of the gold standard have never dared to submit the gold standard to the arbitra- ment of a ballot. E tep that has been taken has been taken by stealth and with- out the approval of the American people. When sliver was demonetized in 1873. the people had not discussed it, and persons who were members of Congress and voted on the measure testified that they did not understand that the bill demonetized sil- ver. When the crime was discovered and the American people attempted to restore sil- ver to tts ancient place by the side of gold poke from the side of the opponents of free coinage forced the Bland act upon Congress as a compromise, #nd as soon as the Bland act went into force the enemies of free silver proceeded to repeal the Bland act and left nothing in its place. But the silver sentiment grew until 18), and in that year the opponents of free coinage, being afraid of the passing of a free comage bill, secured another com- promize, w hich was known as the Sherman. LW. rman Law. support t measure Senator Sherman made a speech, and in that speech he said that we required more than $42,- 000,000 new money every year to keep pace with population and industry, and he ad- vocated that measure on the ground that it gave to the people more money, and yet in his Recollections, published only a few n of months ago, you will find that Senator Sherman there says that he was in favor of the Sherman law simply to prevent free coin we, and that he was for {ts repeal the day after tt was enacted if he could pre- vent the substitution of free coinage. “There you will find the chief supporter of Bold standard policy in the United State Upporting a Dill because it gave money to. the American people and then declaring that he would have voted for the repeal of it the very next day.” MR. QUAY SIN CONTROL. The Py yIvanin Senator Relieves Chairman Hanna. Senator Matthew S. Quay is to be the leading director of the republican campaign from now on. Senator Quay arrived in New York yes- terday and tock up his quarters at the Waldorf. He appeared at headquarters at 22 o'clock and was warmly greeted by hairman Hanna. He was not commani- cative to the reporters, and said, “J don't know,” in answer to nearly all questions. To the inquiry whether any southern states would go republican he answered that he had not visited the south, and knew nothing about the situation there except that fish Was good. About ihe west he also had nothing to say. except to fish, Be Nominated for Congress. ic F.

What Is believed to be the largest thing ever moved on wheels was started by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at Locust Point, in Baltimore, yesterday. The enterprise consists in moving one of the company’s warehouses, which is 440 feet long, 120 feet wide and two stories high, a distance of 120 feet. Mcre than a month ago a force of nearly one hundred men began the work of plac- ing 1,000 rollers under the building, and so niccly have the plans been worked out and so much confidence have those in charge that no.mishap will occur, that one hun- dred tons of glassware and crockery that are in the second story have been allowed to remain there. In moving the building forty Jack-screws will be used, and about ninety men will afford the power. The preparatory work of removing the huge structure consisted in putting down, almost 6,000 timbers, each averaging 30 feet In length and 5 by 12 and 12 by in thickness. These form the un- derground foundation of the present site and the new site adjoining. On top of these there were laid and securely fastened timbers measuring 6 by 12 inches, to make the ways or tracks over which the shed will run. Next the 1,000 rollers, consisting of 5-inch pipe two feet in length, were placed on top of the tracks, one to every five feet throughout the entire area, Be- tween the rollers and the floor beams of the shed were placed more of the timbers 6 by 12 inches. The number of 6 by 12 timbers used is 6,600, each 40 feet in length, making a total of nearly 12,600 large pieces of tim- ber. The next step taken was to saw the old foundation timbers away, when the struct- ure rested upon the tracks. On the east side of the building forty jack-screws were braced against a railroad track. The work was begun at the time fixed upon, and at a given signal thirty men simultaneously gave thirty screws one en- tire turn each. This raised the building the slightest fraction of an inch. The work then proceeded according to details ar- ranged by those in charge. ‘The progress made was necessarily slow, and it is expected that from two to five days will be required to move the building the 120 feet. Then the jack-screws will be used to raise the big structure to the height desired, to take the rollers out, after which the screws will be used to gradually lower the building to its new foundation. The cost of the structure when it was erected ten years ago was $30,000, and the cost of moving it will be, it is expected, about $15,000. It 1s stated that the ground on which the building stands was made up from. soil brought from all quarters of the world. Many years ago sailing ships reached Bal- timore in fleets to load grain, and dumped their earth ballast on the location men- tioned,-and in this way a large part of Lo- cust Point was built up of international soil: The site from which the big building is being moved will be dredged out for a length of 410 feet and a width of about 130 fect, to give additicnal accommodations for the Baltimore and Ohio's line of steam- ships between Baltimore and Liverpool. SUBURBAN NEWS The furnivhings for the new addition to the Tirook- lund school, which was completed in June, ar tived yesterday. This school has been particularly favored, as both cooking and manual training will be taught during the coming tern. Preparations are now being nude to get the building in rendi- ness for the opening, Septe 21.
