10 . THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. IN THE OLD DOMINION Politics Being Discussed at All Times by All Classes of People. A Big Repablican Meeting at Front Royal—Free Silver Sentiment in Winchester. Zorrespondence of The Evening Star. FRONT ROYAL, Va., September 23, 1806. ‘This is one of the hustling towns of this section of the state and the political pot is at fever heat. Across the main street is stretched a Bryan and Sewall banner and every one on the streets and about the hotel lobbies is ready and anxious to discuss the financial situation. Even the colored boys who black boots talk politics, and the eyes of one of them sparkled when he told of how he was going to get $16— great big silver dollars—for one paper dol- lar when Bryan comes in. He had no Idea that Bryan represents the Gemocratic party and when told he must be a democrat he was really and truly insulted. His dignity had been insulted and he assured ‘The Star's corresponcent that he is s:ill a good republican, but “deed I does want ter git sixteen of dem big silver dollars at -nce.” This is decidedly a free silver town, al- though party politics seems to be a thing of the past, at leasi so far as iS cam- paign is concerned, for the words demo- erat aud republican are seldom heard. So enthu: ie are the silverites here that they look upon Sewall as a gold bug at- tachment and he will in all probability run far behind his ticket in this sectien, so many voters favoring Watson in his stead. The fact that Sewall is a man of wealth puts him in disfavor kere, as it does in other parts of the state, and sume of the enthusiastic democratic-populistic yoters even go so far as to deciare that Watson will carry the state with Bryan. Monday, when the fail term of the court convened, there was a big republican tally in the court house, R. J. Walker, republi- can candidate for Congre from this dis- trict, and William E. Craig of Siaunton delivering addresses. There was a big au- dience in the court hose to listen to these speakers, and Candidate Walker's explana- tion of the xt-cent dollar won him ccn- verts, as well as applause. Since hearing these speeches the freé silverites have been a hitle less enthusiastic and some of them are even in doubt as to how tl will cast their votes. The =peakers were anxious for a joint discussion of the issue, but could find none of the free silver men who were willing to appear and take part in such a discussion Colonel Dovell is not saying much since the tig meeting Monday, but still wears his “I'm a democrat” button, and such preminent citizens as Dr. Cline, Harvey Saffold and Heck Lake are continuing their efforts to hold together the friends of the free cause Mr. William T. Mooney, the clerk of the Shiekler House, who list- ens attentively to the free silver as well as the sound money celiberations, has heard so much of both sides that he Is really on the fences, and future developments will have te decide the issue for him.

Silver Feeling in Winchester. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WINCHESTER, Va., September 23, 1896. Singularly enough, the local newspapers have very little to say about politics, but this rule does not apply to the voters gen- erally, for there are free discussions of the Political issues on the street corners -as well as about the hotels and business houses. Free silver and sound money dis- cussions are participated in by most of the voters, but there is not the bitter feeling that is usually engendered during political campaigns. There is no such thing left as ter in the condition of the country. The free silver men, however, are largely in the majority here, although there are quite a number of sound money men among those engaged in business here. Political meet- ings are not so numerous here as they are in other parts of the state or across the Ine in West Virginia, where it is thought by the democrats that some hard work is needed. Judge Duling of White Post, who is an ardent supporter of the Bryan and Sewall ticket, says he is confident that Bryan will carry the state, and that his majority will be larger than that giver any presidential cand.date for many years. Speaking to The Star's correspondent, he said he was amused at statements of Virginia republi- cans claiming the state for McKinley. Such a thing, he says, is utterly impossible. ryan and Sewall will carry the state be- yond doubt, the only question being what the majority will be. In his district alone he sa’d he knew of nearly fifty republicans who have already expressed their intention of voting for Bryan and Sewall. This ts the result of their convictions on the silver question. The nomination of Palmer and Buckner, the judge thinks, renders it im- rosstble for McKinley to carry the state. While Palmer and Buckner may get a large vote in the state, the judge says, they have no earthly show of carrying it, and, if they had, the demccrats who are really demo- crats would vate for McKinley in such large numbers that he sould carry state. Mr. Michael Reardon, one of the county's Most promirent and shares In Judge Duling’s opinion. While he is a democrat and wi! vote for Bryan, he would change his vote if he thought the election of McKinley would be more bene- ficial to the country. In his argument he cites the steady decrease in the price of farm products. In this connection he says that most of the farmers are losing money row. This. he says, is evident, for if they could make the farms pay at the present prices paid for products, why should not all of them have become rich when they were getting such good prices? This steady decline in Prices, he says, has made the farmer believe that there Is necessity for a radical change, and he believes that Bryan will therefore not only carry the state of Virginia, but that he will be elected. eee GREAT CROWD HEARS 0’FERRALL. the influential citizens, Silver Men Hisxed the Governor at Richmond. The meeting in Richmond, Va., last night under the a ices of the gold democrats, and at which General Buckner, Col. John R. Fellows of New York and Governor O’Ferrall were announced to speak, was a success in point of numbers. The Academy of Music was crowded to its utmost capaci- ty, there being many ladtes in the audience, and hundreds of persons were turned away from the doors. But before the speaking Was over the mingling of hisses and cheers evidenced that in its fin audience was greatly divided. Bryan's name was cheered whenever mentioned. Colonel Fellows did not reach the city, but Gezeral Buckner arrived in the afternoon. He was met at Ashland by Messrs. Peyton Ware, M. T. Logan, Joseph Bryan, Archer Amderson, W. R. Meredith, Charles S. Springfellow, A. L. Boutware and A.M. Sed- dcn, who ‘ompan‘e 1 him to Richmond. Gov. O’Ferrall presided over the meeting lest night and was introduced by Gen. Pey- ten Wise. The governor's address was largely the event of the evening, as he had but recently given adherence to the Pat -suckner ticket, and the public were on tip-toe to hear what he would say. The governor repudiated the charge of be- ing a bolter. When delegates sent to a democratic convention adopted a platform not democratic, there is no rule to require a democrat to vote for that platform. Sup- Fose that he were technically a bolter from the party, the Chicago convention had done wo! for it had bolted democratic prin during the war a majority > confederate army had deserted to the enemy, would the minority who remained and stood by the flag have been bolters? Populism was as much an enemy of democ- racy as repr anism, and he shrank from the one and detested the other. When Bryan declared he would not vote the cry of “treason” was not heard. Why should the cry of “bolter’” be raised against democrats who would not support a silver nominee? The governor said that in taking his pres- ent course ne had done it with great regret at parting with valued party friends, but he hoped it would not be long before they would be together again, fighting, as in the past, for real democratic supremacy. The governor then introduced Gen. Buck- rer in high terms of eulogy, and closed with @ warm tribute to President Cleveland. During Governor O'Ferrall’s address there were frequent hisses by the Bryanites, and the gold men met these with defiant ap- plause. General Buckrer’s speech was largely de- voted to a discussion of the currency ques- tion. He spoke at some length on the ques- tion of coinage, going back to days of Jef- ferson, and asked what advantage the sil- ver dollar would be to the workingman if the government should take away its back- ing and cause it to be worth only 5% cents. The silver dollar, he declared. could only be for the mine owner. “What has the silver miner,” he asked, “to entitle him to any more than any other citizen of the nation?’ cial views the Gui Comes With a better understandifff of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant cfforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the onl. remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere cstcemed so highly by all who value health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debiliteting the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get 1ts bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable d-uggists. If in the ehiog ment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedics arc then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one mcy be commended to the must skillful physicians, but if in nced of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of est and is most lai ror Leet a@ party line. It is not c question of dem- ocrats and republicans, but one of gold and silver. And it ’s generally the voter says he wants the man elected who will do the most toward causing a change for the bet- | istence of the free silver ghost, which was about represent the judge's majority. silver republicans are daily deserting Towne, whilst the number of democrats who will vote for McKinley and Morris are two to one for every silver republican who will vote for Bryan and Towne. Towne begins to see the handwriting on the wall, BRYAN IN THE NORTHWEST Thinks His Oause a Lost A Washingtonian ie One. Impressions Received From a Trip to Minnesota—Estimates Made by Republicans. To the Editor of The Evening Star: DULUTH, Minr., September 19, 1806. As an old resident of Minnesota and one interested in its development I left Wash- irgton city a month ago to study the po- litical situation, especially in the sixth and seventh congressional districts, which are ncw the chief battle scenes of the state, and which are holding the attention or politicians everywhere. Before leavinj Weshingtcn I had heard much of the ex- alleged to be wandering around the prairies of the gopher siate, and which Was stated to be much in evidence in Min- neapolis, Duluth and the farming districts. The experiences of a month have convinced me that the same talk we hear in the east of the cyclonic wave of free silver, which threatens to engulf the west and sweep everything before it, 1s merely the echo of what is said in the west of the great stcrm center in the east, and that there is no real foundation in fact anywhere (ex- cept, perhaps, in the south and the mining states) of that gr2at Bryan storm that is to come and sweep everything before it. I have talked to many hundred people of all conditions and classes, and I can assure you that the people of this state are keeniy alive to their best interests, and know that the salvation of this country depends on the election of McKinley and Hobart and a republican Congress. A very con- servative estimate places the republican majority at 25,000, while Charles A. Pills- bury of Minnapolis, a very good authority, places the majority as hign as 35,000 and even 40,000, These estimates ure not made upon perscnal enthusiasm, but are based upon polls made by experienced canvassers. It is intended to take at least two polls of the entire state before election, so that all doubt as to how Minnesota will go will be elimirated. If a vote could be taken next week I have no doubt whatever that McKinley’s lowest majecrity would be 25,00), and just as certain for him as Pennsylvania will be or Maine has been. The truth is the silver people are losing ground every day. The republicans are becoming more aggressive, more thoroughly organized, and alive to the issues, and are fighting thelr opponents to the death, intending this time to bury the silver craze so deep that it will never be resurrected again as a polit- ical issue. I never before witnessed such enthusksm thrown into a campiign as this. Everywhere you find republican headquarters open day and night, with workers armed with literature and facts that are making a telling and convincing impression. In Congressman Eddy’s district I found a thorough canvass in progress. Mr. Eddy is making a strong fight, is an earnest worker and makes hosts of friends wher- ever he goes. If he cannot succeed in this districtgno other republican could. I be- Heve will be elected. In Barnesville, Minn., in his district, I found quite a veri- table boom in progress. Sixty thousand acres of fine agricultural lands have been purchased since spring by the farmers; good brick blocks are being built, one of them by a “silver republican,” who has joined the free coinage cause for the rea- son, as stated by him, that there is a lack of money in the country. = In this district, the sixth, all the signs point tu the defeat of Congressman Towne. He started out with the claim that he would be re-elected by 25,000 majority. To- day supporters have reduced the claim to 5,0) majority, whilst the friends of the republican standard bearer, Judge Page Morris, are confident that those figures will Free and is working day and night for success. His “republican cpponent is popular, a shrewd campaigner, a fine speaker and an untiring and zealous worker. He has the sympathies of all the men and organiza- tions that stand for the credit and good name of this city, whilst Towne is no longer greeted by the solid citizens, but is avoid- ed as he walks through the streets. Every day I have seen solid citizens leave their business and devote several hcurs to har«l political work for the success of McKinley and Morris, and they expect to keep this up until election. You can rest assured Du- luth understands fully where its interests He. Its people and the miners in the iron rapges north of this city are too familiar with the sight of gold to be insensible to its power. The wages of the miners are to this day being paid in gold, as has been the custom, ever since resumption, among the mines on Lake Superior, and he would be a daring innovator, indeed, who would try to make the miners believe that it were better for them to have their wages paid in a depreciated silver coin. From what I have seen and heard in six of the western states—claimed to be pivotal —I will go back to Washington with the conviction that Bryanism is dead, that Maj. McKinley is already the choice of the people, and will be elected by a majority so large that it will be phenomenal, and people will wonder how it was possible they ever could have made themselves believe it could have turned out otherwise. = BRYAN QUOTES LINCOLN. Federal Interference in State Affairs —The Supreme Court. A demonstration; under the auspices of men connected with labor organizations, was held last night at the Clermont Rink, Brooklyn, in honor of the democratic can- didate, Wm. J. Bryan. The capacity of the building is estimated at eight thousand, and every available foot of space was fill- ed with people, while thousands besieged the doors and were unable to gain admis- sion. A man stepped to the front of the pat ony a short time before 8 o'clock and said: “Will the persons in the audience please take from their seats the song that is there and join in singing it?” The crowd responded heartily and the re- frain “You Shall Not Press the Crown of Thorns Upon the Toiler’s Brow” rose in mighty volume. When James D. Bell, chairman of the Kings County Democracy, rapped for order Mr. Bryan had not yet arrived. Mr. Bell named as chairman of the meeting Judge Wm. J. Gaynor of the New York supreme court, whose rame was greeted with great applause. The judge stepped to the little table in the front of the stage and pounded the gavel. He made a speech, in which he said this was a time for moral courage. Distant shouts from the outside of the Wulldiig announced the arrival of the Bry- an party. The noise grew louder and near- er, gradually developing into a muffled roar, and eventuaily bursting into a torrent of sound, the volume of which shook the building to the center as the cand‘date walked down the stage. The noise continued unabated for <'x minutes, at the end of which time Mr. Bryan’s raised hands finally brought about order. He then stepped to the front of the stage and began his speech. Mr. Bryan’s Remark: “I esteem it a great privilege,’ said Mr. Bryan, “to be permitted to defend the cavre which has been espoused in this campaign, and I am glad to be permitted to present that cause to the people of Breoklyn. I only wish that the distin- guished divine whose name has added to the fame of your great city, Henry Ward Beecher (applause), were with us today, that he might again champion the cause of the people in their great fight. (A voi ‘No doubt he would.) Any man would whose sympathies were on the side of hvmanity, my friends. We have com- menced a warfare against the gold stand- ard, which will not cease until victory is won. “Before addressing myself to the money question I desire to say something ifn re- gard to planks of our platform which have been assailed by the enemy. I only speak of them tecause persone high in the re- publican party have called attention to them and sought to twist them into mean- ir.gs not intended to be given them and an interpretation which they will not bear. Let me read to you the plank of the Chi- cago platform against which so much abvee has been leveled. “ ‘We denounce arbitrary interference by federal authorities. in local affairs as a violation of the Constitution of the United States; as a crime jaqainst free institu- ticns.’ a Y “That is the part h they say is bad. When did that pecoue wad? “Let me read a pigak of another plat- form and see. how. thig plank which I-am about to read compares/with the one which I have read: 2 “‘That the maintendhce inviolate of the rights of the state, ani ectally the right of each state to: orde: control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment, exclusively, is essential to that balance of power uw ijfrhich the operation and endurance of our ‘political fabric de- pends, and we dendjijice the lawless in- vasion by: armed force;of the soil of any state or territory, ne,matter under what pretext, as among the'greatest of crimes.’ (Applause.) “Do you know. trom }¢hat platfarm. that plank is taken? (A_yoice: ‘From Abraham Lincoln’s,.’) Yes, from Abraham Lincoln's. (Applause, loud and long. That is a plank in the platform of the republican party of 1860, and when you compare our plank with that yon wil) find that ours is mild in language compared to this one. (Applause.) b “Abrahem Lincoln ran for President on that platform. He was elected President on that platform. (Cries of ‘S> will you.") And in his inaugural address ke quoted that plank in full and reiterated it with his approval. (Cries of ‘So will you.’) “Now, my friends, if our platform is wrong, I want these republicans to repu- diate Abraham Lincoln. (Applause.) Be- cause if you take Abraham Lincoln from the republican party, you have taken from it its most sacred memory, my friends. (Applause and cries of ‘There will be noth- ing left.’) f Criticising the Supreme Court. “Now let me call your attention to an- other thing which they complain of. They say. we criticise the Supreme Court. Let me read you-what we say on that subject.” Mr. Bryan then read the plank of the Chicago platform in regard to the income tax decision. “I read you from a state paper from the inaugural address of Abraham Lincoln: “I do not forget the position assured by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, ror do I deny that such decisions must be Lind- ing in any case upon the parties to the sult as to the object of that sul while they are also entitled to very nigh respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the government.’ “I quote again. “‘At the same time the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the gov- ernment upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by the decisions of the Sup-eme Court the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties in personal ac- tion, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into tie bande of that eminent ‘ribunal.’ (Ap- plause. “Let me rcad you the language of one’ whose name [ honor: “*Assiduous efforts are making to ter- rify the public mind with apprehension of social disorder, to represent the grea: meas- ure of reform which is now presented to you as disorganizing and to silxmatize its supporters as destry e and agrarian. We who now address you have been the organs of these imputations. We pause, thereforc, for a moment to repeat them. We entertain no sentiments adverse to social order, we seek not to destroy, but to preserve in their purity the institu! of our country.’ “That is the language of Samuel J. Til- den, used in an address to farmers, me- chanics and workingmen. Then they ac- cused the reformers.of being disturbers of the peace, and they, asseried then as we assert now that we have come io save the government which we love. (Great 2p- plause.) They had just such a coniest then as we have now. Resolutions Adopted. Resolutions were ,adop.ed commending the work of the Chizago convention and stating: “We believe the ‘present contest to be much more than a struggle between the democratic and so+#ailed republican par- ties—more than silyer.against gold. It is not a fight of the poor agains: the rch, nor of labor agadist capital, ncr of the farmers against the art}s.as or ‘mechanics, nor the creditors against the debior class, but when sifted-and analyzed and stripped from all sophistry isa, baitle, of the. peo- ple against the oligarchy of wealth, found- ed on special] privijeges, therefore, be it “Resolved, That we pleige our service unreservedly to the earnest and aclive support of the able young tribune of the people, Wm. Jennings Bryan, for Presi- dent. of these United States, Wl we ask the support and earnest co-operation of all the toilers.” ++ HOW TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE. McKinley Snys “Defent the Party That Destroyed It.” In his remarks to one of the delegations visiting him yesterday, at Canton, Ohio, Maj. McKinley sai “The complaint—the chief cause of com- plaint of our opponents—is, first, that we have not enough money, and second, that our money is too good. (Laughter.) To the first complaint I answer that the per capita of circulating medium in this country has been greater since the so-called crime of 1873 than it ever was before. (Applause.) And that it has been greater in the last five years than it ever was in all our history. (Cries of ‘That's right.') We have not only the hest money in the world, but we have more of it per capita than most of the na- tions of the world. (Applause.) “To the second complaint, that our money is too good, it would seem to be endugh to say that the money of any country cannot be too good, and that no nation ever suf- fers from having its medium of exchange of the highest and best quality. (Great ap- plause.) It has been poor money—not good money—that has been the cause of so much loss and ruin in the past, both to individ- uals and to nations. (Applause.) The older men of this audience will remember that before the war we did business with an un- certain and fluctuating currency known as state bank money. Many of these banks and their notes were absolutely sound, but for the most part they were subject to a discount. The total number of banks in 1860, exclusive of state bank branches, was 1,570, Of this number, the ‘counterfeit de- tector,’ then in constant use, reported 832 as ‘broken, closed, failed, fraudulent and worthless.’ Grentest Sufferers From Poor Money. “The notes of these banks were in cir- culation among the people, and had been received by them for their good labor and their good products. They were absolutely worthjess, and of no more value than the paper on which they were printed. Upon whom did this loss fall, my fellow citizens? There is scarcely an old gentleman in this audience who will not recall that it fell upon the laboring men and the farmers of the United States. (Cries of “That's right’ and applause.) I allude to this only to show that. those who suffer most from poor money are tiie least able to bear the loss. It is the history of. kind that the least valuable money whith Will pass current is the money that at:lagt finds its resting place among the pgoren people, and when the crash comes, tng lose must be borne by them. And I doubt.if there is a man in this audience who has not among the belong- ings of his family,, onzthe family of his father, some of that.old/bank paper as a re- minder of what they lost. (A voice: ‘I have $10 at home myself.’) “I cannot imagine’ any interest ‘that can be permanently subserved by having poor money. The bare» suggestion of such a roposition to a man 6f reason meets its Instant rejection. You Will remember that from 1862 to 1879 wé did business with pa- per mouey exclusively; we had neither gold nor silver. And you will remember that gold was constantly at @ premium, ranging from 40 to 100 per gent..."hen, when a man wanted to borrow money, he had to pay a higher rat2 of interést than he has had to pay since 187 on a gold basis. (Applause.) When we were doihg business with a de- preciated paper money, interest was very Much higher to the borrower and to the debtor than it is now. I can recall when here in Orio thé ruling rate of interest for that paper money was 10 per cent annually, and often 1 per cent a month, or 12 per ce a year. Do you remember that, men of Ind:ana? When in the days of the green- back currency you paid from. 10 to 12 per cent for your money? Fall in Rate of Interest. “The ruQng rate here in Ohio for what some peopic are pleased to call a ‘20-cent dollar’ is G or’7 per cent today. It may run as high as 8, and possibly that has. been the ruling rate. during the last. two or three years, but that is because dis- trust has fallen upon the country, and men who have money will not- part with it and take chances without a higher rate of ‘interest. (Applavse.). Money can be borrowed at « lower ‘rate ofinterest than it could have been borrowed at any time from the days of 1800 to the days of re- sumption. What more healthful sign than this fact that a dollar sound the world over can be borrowed at a less rate than ever before. “That money is hard to get is not be- cause it is scarce, but because those who have it- keep it, fearing to loan it because of the unsettled business condition of the country. Money today is idle because it cannot be profitably and safely invested by those who have it. It is neither a lack of volume of our money nor the quality of the money that is our trouble; but a lack of confidence in the steadiness and sta- bility of business. The threat of free sil- ver is driving our money into hiding to- day; the v.ay to bring it out is to restore confidence, and how will you restore con- fidence? There is only one way. (A voice, “Vote for McKinley,” and applause.). The way to restore confidence is to defeat, through the ballot, the party that de- stroyed confidence. (Cries of “Good” and “That's right.”) The way to restore pros- perity is to defeat, through the ballot, those-wha have destroyed prosperity. (Tre- mendpps applause.) We cannot restore the business ‘gf the country so long as we do sd much of our business abroad. (Cries of “That's righ! Let us bring it back home again for our own people and our own labor.” (Continuous cheering.) Opening the Mills. In his response to the Wood county del- egation Major McKinley said, among other things: “My fellow cit'zens: I ventured a few weeks ago to suggest ine public speech that I made that it would be better to open the mills than to open the mini (Great cheering and cries of ‘‘That’s right."") I see that some of our political adversar- jes criticise the statement, saying that it is ‘putting the cart before the horse.’ They seem to think that the way to open the woolen mills, for example, is to start a yardstick factory. (Great laughter ard ap- plause.) They forget that you must make cloth before you can measure it (renewed laughter), and that the weaver must be employ. before the yardstick is required. (Applause.) But they say the yardstick is tco long. I answer if you make a yardstick nineteen inches instead of thirty-six inch- €s, its present length, you will not increase the output of cloth or its value or give an additional day’s labor to an American weaver. (Great applause.) “Nor will a 52-cent dollar increase our industrial enterprises, add to the actual earnirgs of anybody, or enhance the real value cf anytning. (Great applause and cries of “That's right.”) It will wrong la- bor and wreck values, and has done so wherever it has been used. (Great applause and cries of “That's right."") More clota might require more yardsticks (laughter), but more yardsticks or shorier ones will not create a demand for more «loth. (Re- newed laughter and cries of ‘Good, good.)
