Republican Nation Several He Says, Stand Between Dishonor and Honor. hundred republican editors of Ohio were welcomed by Mayor McKinley at his home at Canton, Ohfo, yesterday. John Hopley, the venerable editor of the Bucyrus Journal, was spckesman for the editors. Hopley’s remarks, Major McKinley spoke as follows: “It gives me great pleasure, gentlemen, to welcome you, one and all, to my home.

It is the good for- tune of the republican party to stand in this contest for what is best in govern- ment. for what is patriotic in citizenship, for what tends to the support of the finan- clal integrity of the government, its credit and its currency. “This is a year of political contention without bitterness. Inielliger:ce and in- vestigation are taking the places of pas- sion and partyism. Party prejudice cuts little figure in a crisis like this. We must not indulge in aspersion or crimination against those who may have differed from us in the-past, but who are now with us in patriotic effort to preserve the good faith of the country and enforce public and private honesty. (Applause.) We mvst net drive anybody out of camp, but welcome everybody in. “The Force of Reason.” “You doubtless have grown weary of beirg told of the greatness and power and value of the press, so many times styled the ‘preserver of our liberties and the hepe of mankind.” It was Bulwer, I fie- lieve, who commanded, ‘Take away the swerd. States can be saved without it. Brirg the pen.’ This is a year for press and pen. The sword nas been sheathed. The only force now needed 1s the force | of reason, and the oniy power to be invoked fs that of intelligence and patriotism. (Great applause.) “Our people have always extended to the press the most generous patronage and acccrded it the greatest deference, so that the press has grown with our growth and advanced with our advancement. There are nearly as many newsp>" ers and pe- riodicals published in the .uited States as in all the rest of the world besides. To ™me the modern newspaper is so vast and comprehensive that I can never contem- plate its possibilities without becoming both interested and enthusiastic on the subject. The Honorable Journalist's Position, “Why, to be a really capable and worthy journalist, wise, honorable and efficient, is to attain the highest plane of human |opportunity and usefulness. To love and preclaim truth for truth'’s sake; to dissem- inate knowledge and useful information; to correct misimpressions; to enlighten ‘tie misinformed; to feed an expectant and anxious people with the occurrences of the world daily, indeed, almost hourly; tc discover and correct abuses; to fairly ‘ad- vocate a great cause—in short, to mold and direct public opinion, which is always the mission of journalism, fs surely the noblest of professions. (Great applause.) Poor it may be in some parts of the world, despised it may be by the intolerant and ignorant everywhere, but degraded it never can be so long as its aim is for the good of the people. “Ohio has always been prominent in the field of jourralism. You know well the slcrious history of the state and its contri- bution to the country in every field of statesmanship. The press- of Ohio has proudly held its own in the march of jcurnalism. The younger men—and there are many of them before me today—have high models before them. Their predeces- sors were honest in conviction, powerful in argument and contributed much to make our glorious state what it is and our civ- ae and citizenship the best in the world.” oo.

He was driving a team down. the street, when the animals became frightened and started to dash awa. The suddenness of the event was sufficient to throw the driver out of the wagon on the asphalt surface. He tumbled out in front of the wagon, and before he could get out cf the way the vehicle ran over him. He was badly bruised about the body, and was carried to the Emergency Hospital in tne patrol wagon, where it was found that a rib had been broken, in ad- dition to a number of minor bruises.

The Dogs ‘Tarned on Him, John Davis, a colored man, while walking across the P street bridge yesterday after- noon, saw two dogs fighting. He attempted to play the part of a peacemaker, and suf- fered the usual fate of such an individual. The fighting dogs turned on him, and chew- ed his lower extremities in a number of piaces. The negro was frightened over the turn of affairs, and hastened to the placg of Dr. Shaw, who cauterized the wounds.

Corresponitence of Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 8, 1896. Rockville people are in a ferment of pleesurable ex¢itement tonight over the successful test_of the artesian well whieh has been cunk east of the town near Hor- ner’s lane, on the spot designated by En- gircer George Callogan Morgan of Chica- go. Mr. Morgan was employed by the town council of Rockville, which is com- posed of Mayor Joseph Reading, Mr. James F. Allen, Mr. Lee Offutt, Mr, 8. B, Hege and Mr. W. R. Pumphrey, under authority of an act of the last legislature, which provided that the town of Rockville might issue bonds to the extent of $20,000 in order to secure water works. He was appointed ergineer and came here to examine the configuration of the country and determine where water might probably be found in the most abundant quantities. He se- jected the locality east of the town, and considerable criticism was caused because a higher point of land had not been ce- lected. Mr. Morgan would not agree to changing the site of the well, however, and the boring was proceeded with by the D. G. Miller Artesian Well Company of Bal- Umore, to whom the contract war awarded. A Splendidly Successful Test. ‘The wisdom of Mr. Morgan's sélection Was abundantly proven today when a pro- tracted test of the well, which has been bored 182 feet in depth, was made. Water Was struck several days ago, and rose to within two feet of the top of the well, where it remained stationary. A pump vas put to work on it, and no substantial dimi- nution was shown in the amount of water in the well. Today at acon the pump was put to work in earnest, and began throw- ing out water at the rate of gallons a minute. This was kept up constantly for six hours, and an examination of the well then showed that the wat=r in the well was still within thirty feet of the top, The re- sult showed 2,550 gallons an hour, or 61,- 220 gallons per day, a more than sufficient amount to assure Reckville of an abund- ant supply of water, the number of in- habitants being 1,250. The well is now but 6 1-4 inches in diameter, but the contract requirements rrovide for its increase to 8 inches, so that a still larger volume of water will be Lrought up from the subterranean recesses when the well is finally completed. It 1s elso believed that a yet more abundant sup- piy will be secured by boring to a depth of 200 feet, and this will probably be done. Building of the Water Works. Owing to the advanced state of the sea- son the work cf building the water works, erecting the brick tower and reservoir tank, laying water mains and putting in the electric plant will probably be post- poned until the spring. It is pointed out with excellent judgment that work of such magnitude coula not be contracted for after necessary advertisement and other preliminaries and any headway be made with it until cold weather would come and stop operations, leaving che work already commenced at the mercy of the elements to their serious injury. It was intended at the outset, when the work of boring the Well was commenced, to complete the works and have in addition an_ electric light plant in operation befor> the snow flew this year, but the del Well will prevent this intention from being carried oui. A majerity of the citizens bere who have been heartily in favor of the enterprise ever since its inception are in favor of waiting until next March be- fore beginaing further operations, because the excavation of the streets would leave them in a horrible condition when winter came, and very few people would be will- ing to put water connections in their re dences in cold weather. So it is almast e tain that the town council will take th course thus indicated, arranging preliminaries and awarding the so that the new improvements that mean so mueh to Rockville can be ously pushed to completion as so spring opens. The Water Soft and Cold. ‘The pumps will be kept at work all night, and probably all day tomorrow, and the water, which is soft and almost as cold as ice water, will then be analyzed and its character’ ascertained. The well will then be reamed out to its full diameter of eight inches, and a furtker and more severe test of its capacity will be made. There was a large crowd of visitors to the site of the well this evening and tonight, and general congratulations were indulged in, Editer and Postmaster Albert Almoney’ voicing the sentiment of the throng in an epigram- matic way by remarking, “The future of Rockville is in that water.” It is estimated that the water works and the accompanying electric light plant, which now seem to be absolutely assured to Rockville, will be entirely self-support- ing, besides earning a surplus to be de- voted to the sinking fund for the redemp- tion of the bonds. This will be in addition to providing the town with twenty-tive water plugs, to afford protection in case of fire, and a@ complete system of electric lighting of the streets without expense to the corporation. in boring the all the coniract _ will ee T STATISTICS, Twice as Many Issued Last Year as PATE) A total of 24,585 patents granted and trade-marks, labels and prints registered by the government during the year is shown in the fiscal year report of the com- missioner of patents, submitted to Secre- tary of the Interior Francis today.

Mr. Bryan Receives Formal Notifica- tion at Lincoln, Neb. Mr. W. J. Bryan was notified at Lincoln, Neb., yesterday afternoon, by representa- tives of the silver party of his nomination for the presidency. All the members of tne notification committee who went to Lin coln to attend the ceremonies were seate on the platform erected in the north front of the capitol building when Mr. Bryan ar- rived. With the arrival of the torchlight proces- sion the crowd gathered about the capitol was increased tenfold. Mr. Humphrey presided at the meeting and introduced Chairman Groot, whv made the address of notification. Mr. Bryan's Reply. Mr. Bryan's reply to the speech of notifi- cation was as follow he platform adopted by the silver party contains but one plank, and that plank, the piank upon the silver question, is identical m substance with the silver plank of the Chicago platform. As I have already dis- cussed that plank at length, it will not be Pecessary to enter into any extended dis- cussion at this time. “I beg to answer the committee that I an- cept the nomination tendered by them on behalf of the silver party. In the spirit in which that nomination was presented I can appreciate the feeling which animated those who assembled in that convention. 1 can appreciate the hesitation with which those assembled there turned their backs upon the party with which they had been asso- ted. “Strength of Party Ties.” “I know something of the strength of party tles, and because I was in a position where I looked forward to a possibility of like action on my part I can appreciate the depths of a conviction that Jed them to place the interests of their country above the welfare of their party. “More than a year ago, when we wera engaged in a struggle to bring the demo- cratic party to an indorsement of free coinage, the question was put to me wheth- er, in case of failure, I would support the democratic nominee if he were a gold standard advocate, runfiing upon a gold standard platform. “I never believed that such action was probable in the democratic party thea, but when those who questioned me were not content with probabilities and asked again whether, in that event, I would support the nominee, I said, as you wili remember, that under no circumstances would my yoie be given to a man who would, in the executive office, use his influence to fasten the gold standard upon the American p-orle. A Conspiracy Against Humanity.” I stood where the members of the silver convention stood, and like them I would rather have the appreval of my conscience than the approval of all the world. My c: victions upon this subject are not shallow convictions. I may be in error—none of us can claim infallibility—but 1 believe that the gold standard 1s a conspiracy against the human race. “I would join the ranks of thos whcse purpose it is to fasten it upon the American people no sooner than enlist in an army that was marching to attack my home and destroy my family. I say, therefore, that I can appreciate the spirit which animated these who have just tendered me this sec- ond nomir I pledge them that if elected they shail never have cause to ac- cuse me of being false to that platform. Republican Party Record. “When I declared that I would not sup- port a gold standard candidate 1 was Standing upon the record of the democratic party. I was defending its principles as well as the interests of the country at large. And when the republicans who as- sembled in the silver convention at St. Louis refused to worship the gold image which their party had set up, they were defending the history of the repw a party. The republican platform of 1Ss8 de- nounced the democratic administration for having attempted to degrade silver. McKinley Quoted. “And in 1891, on the 12th day of Febru- ary, in Memorial Hail, at Toledo, Ohio, at the Lincoln day banquet, the present can- didate for President upon the republican ticket used the words which I shall now read to you. I have found these words published in a Toledo paper, and they have been published so long without correction that we may safely assume that he was correctly reported. If he hereafter denies the correctness of this report I shall hast- en to dv him justice by retracting these words. ‘These are the words which he is said to heve use ‘During all of Grover Cleve- land’s years at the head of the government he was dishonoring cne of our precious metals, one of our great producers, dis- crediting silver and enhancing the price of gold. He endeavored even before his in- auguration to office to stop the coinage of silver dollars, and afterward, and to the end of his adminstration, persistently used his power to that end. He was determined to contract the circulating medium and de- monetize one of the coins of commerce, limit the volume of money among the peo- pie, make money scarce and therefore dear. He would have increased the value of money and diminished the value of every- thing else—money the master, everything else the servant.” ‘our Years Ago and Now.” “Following these same lines the republi- can convention in 1892 declared at Minne- apolis that the American people from tra- dition and interest were in favor of bi- metallism. That is the language of 1892— that the American people from tradition and interest are in favor of bimetallism. Have traditions changed in four years? Have interests changed in four years? No, my friends, and yet, forgetting the plat- form of 1888, forgetting the denunciation uttered by their distinguished leader in 1891, forgetting the platform of 1892, the republican party in convention assembled declared that the American people must forego the advantages of the bimetallic system to which tradition and interest en- deared them until foreign nations should bring those advantages to them. It is not strange that men who have looked for bi- metallism in the republican party should have given up hope and turned elsewhere for relief.” on He Said Guilty. A colored man named William Scott went to the circus grounds last night, and whea he caused a disturbance and got arrested it transpired that he had a razor on him. There was no excuse he could give, and 80 when arraigned in the Police Court today he said guilty and went to jail for sixty lays. gees AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c Today.
