HAS STOPPED WORK The South Capitol Street Crematory Has Shut Down. ag Se ee TRIAL = PERIOD = HAS ~=—-EXPIRED Commissioners Have Rendered No Decision Regarding Sanitation. GARBAGE PUT IN BOATS The question of the disposal of the city's garbage has taken a new turn, and now the much-discussed matter seems about as far from a solution as it was early in the sum- mer. The crematory, which is located at the foot of South Capitol street, has shut down, and today all about the plant is as quiet as a country graveyard after dark. All the garbage which has been collected for a couple of days past is being taken down the river in scows. When the plant will start up again is a question that no one ap- pears to be able to answer. According to the head of the cremaiory company the reason Is a very simple one. The crematery has stopped because the time in which it was to run in order to satisfy the Commissioners and the garbage contractor that the Brown system Is a satisfactory one has expired. Time was up on the 22d, but Mr. Brown kept the fires burning in the hope that some definite con- clusion might be reached. ‘two days ago, however, they were allowed to-go out in order that the furnaces might cool down so as to enable the contractor, Mr. War- field, to make a personal inspection of the inside and see how well the plant has stood the wear and tear of the season's work. When the Brown crematory was built it was with the understanding that it should operate for a period of ninety days to sat- isfy the contractor that it was in every way satisfactory. Mr. Brown clasms that in point of fact it has been going for five s, and has proved a complete suc- At the end of the first sixty days, will Le remembered, there was some trouble with the grate bars-and the fires were allowed to go out while a change was made. Contractor Warfield thaught that there should be an unbroken test of ninety days, and to this Mr. Brown acceded. The ninety days were up last Tuesda: Mr. wn said today that if there was any ance of a decision being arrived at he would be willing to keep the crematory in operation, but as & saw no chance of it and as every day that it ran meant so much out of the treasury of his company he was unable to see why he should kee: it cp any longer. = Have Not Acted. According to the terms of the appro- priation act the Commissioners must select the sort of crematory that is to be adopted. In the present case it is said that the gar- bage contractor Is satistied with the Brown crematory, but, of course, is prevented frcm purchasing it until such time as the joners have expressed themselves ass fied that it is all right from a sani- tary posnt of view. On this question the Commissicners have so far made no de- cision one way or the other, and the mat- ter must rest where it is for the present, for the reason that Commissioner Trues- dell, who has been most actively identifi with the garbage problem, is out of town aunt is not expected to return for some days. In conversation with a Star reporter to- day Mr. Brown said: “So far as I know the contractor would he willing to accept the Brown crematory if the Commissioners would only agree to it, but there would be no sense in our keep- ing the plant in operation indefinitely. We bave gone through the worst season of the year successfully, and at no time have we disposed of less than two-thirds of the city’s garbage hh the one crematory. With two, of course, there would be no trouble at all. Lately we have been burning eighty tons a Gay, while the entire collecjion for the city bas been 100 tons. The statement that all through the summer by far the greater Portion of the garbage had to be taken down the river on scows Is not true, as the records of the health office will show. As to the question whether the crematory is a success from a sanitary point of view I am perfectly willing to abide by the reports of the inspectors whom the Commissioners and tke health officer have had stationed here. ‘The crematory can be started up again im- Mediately upon its acceptance by the Com- missioners and the garbage contractor.” ————_— SHOT THE WRONG PERSON. Hallet Intended for the Employer Struck the Man. NEW YORK, September 25.—Roger E. Ccstello is dying at a Jersey City hospital}, the result of a pisiol shot wound received, as he alleges, while he was asleep in the home of his employer, Dennis Reynolds, a produce dealer. Costello retired about 11 o’ciock last evening, and at 8 o'clock this morning, he says, he was awakened by the trickling of blood from a wound in his right breast. He professes not to know how or by whom the wound was in- flicted. Dennis Reynolds, his brother Frank and Peter Fox are in custody pend- ing an investigation of the affair. The police have formed a theory that the shot which struck Costello was in- tendel for Dennis Reynolds, his employer, wkese room had been given to Costello for the night. That the shot was fired at close range is shown by powder marks on Costello's shirt. The injured man is said to have never owned a pistol and to have had no cause to attempt suicide. Thomas Reynolds, son of Dennis Rey- noids, is missing, and the chief of the Jer- sey City police suspects him of having doe the shooting. Thomas was until recently employed by his father, but did not attend to business and was discharged. Then en- sued a quarrel, in the course of which, it is alleged, the son avowed he would wreak vengeance. The police believe that the son entered the house to kill his father. The son, according to this theory, took the sleeping Costello for his father and shot him. It is supposed that the son left the house thinking he had murdered his own father. a DEMOCRATS STIRRED UP. Senator Gorman Says That Registra- tion W: Be More Active. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., September 25. ator Gorman spent several hours here to- day in conference with the local democratic leaders on the registration of voters and other Yeatures of campaign routine. After some time spent at the state headquarters the Senator, in company with Chairmen Jones and Rusk, visited the city headquar- ters on East Baltimore street, where he met Mr. Rasin and the ward leaders. Here the situation was discussed at length, and as a result it was declared that systematic efforts would be made to get the party vote on the books during the remaining days cf registration. In speaking of the registration to The Star correspondent Senator Gorman said: “I don't think we will encounter further difficulty in getting our vote registered. I look for a decided contrast as far as the democrats are concerned between the com- ing registration days and those just past.” FUSION IN INDIANA Chairman Butler Thinks Will Soon Be Ef- fected in That State.” Sliver Managers Not Over Confident as to the Result — Don't Like McAleer’s Nomination. The Indiana situation, according to Chair- man Butler, will shortly be improved. The Senator said today he believed fusion in Indiana will be effected shortly. He has re- ceived several telegrams and letters from the populist managers in that state saying that everything will probably turn out right for the silver people. Senator Butler said that he had received information of attempts to bribe populist leaders to prevent fusion. He had letters from the two men who claim that bribes were offered them. Senator Butler does not believe that money has been accepted by any of the populist leaders of the state, and thinks they will remein true to their con- vietions. Fusion may be arranged, but it is not like- ly to give the silver managers overconti- dence as to that state. For some reason Indiana has come to be regarded lately by the silver people as one of the very doubtful states. The Bryanites do not claim any certain thing in Indiana as they do about some of the other western and middie west- ern staies. The democratic managers refuse to dis- cuss the Yale incident at New Haven yes- terday, merely saying that it will make votes for Bryan. Senator Stewart says he has a degree from Yale, but that he re- pudiates what was done there. He says that the conduct of the students was not the result of their own inclination, but the teachings of Sur.ner. P. L. Bone- Frank P. Helm; Lou- William Garrig; Maine, ‘dward Secretary Difenderfer of the silver party does not like the nomination of ex-Rep- resentative McAleer of Philadelphia by the democrats of that city. Mr. McAleer is a gold man, and Mr. Difenderfer threatens to see a silver candidate put in the field against him. Mr. Difenderfer tells a story to illustrate the growth of the silver sentiment in that state. He says a grocer in a small town began to put silver literature in the baskets of his customers. He did not know what the effect would be, but waited. In a short time he found his trade increasing. People who went to the store to buy asked for literature. It was given them. The grocer, Mr. Difenderter ness, and finds ture. ys, now has a big bus rouble in supplying Lte1 A. Wedderburn, the national commit- eman of the siiver party from Virginia, says that 200 clubs have been organized by his party in that state. The majority of the clubs, he says, are non-partisan. A suggestion has been made that a joint con- vention of the democratic and silver clubs be held in October. It is claimed by the silver people that a large percentage of the 35,14 negro votes of Missouri will be cast for Bryan. The editors of five papers devoted to the in- terest of the colored race in that state have called a convention of the negro advocates of free coinage, to be held in Kansas City on October 7. The convention is called for the purpose of organizing a campaign work. ——_____-e+_____ THE BANKERS’ jeague for CONVENTION. ce Presigents Chosen Representing the Different States. ST.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, September 25.—The delegates to the National Bankers’ Associa- tion arrived here from St. Louis this morning on a visit to Lincoin’s tomb and home. A special car containing. 100 dete- gates was met at the depot by an enter- tainment committee. The bankers and cit- izens were escorted to Oak Ridge cemetery, where Ccigressman Connelly delivered a welcoming address. It was responded to by E. H. Pullen of New York, president of the association; Jos. C. Hendrix of New York, chairman of the executive commit- tee; Lyman J. Gage of Chicego, Myron T. Herrick, Cleveland, Ohio; W. C.

CHICAGO, September 25.—The remark- able twenty-four-hour bicycle race on one of the finest tracks in the world is going on teday with the men in apparently good condition, after a race last night that es-+ tablished 50 and 100-mile records which may hold for years. The feature of this race has been the lowering of records by so many riders in a twenty-four-hour race. The record up to last night for 100 miles had been for trials and not in a race. The conditions of this race are that even the winner of the 50 and 100-mile records will not be paid unless he rides at least 400 miics during the twenty-four hours, and should he accomplish the feat of winning the twenty-four-hour race he stands to win a large number of prizes for time rec- ords on 50, 100 and other distances; also a prize for winning the twenty-four-hour Tace. At 11 o'clock this morning the score stood: Gimm, 309 miles; Schinn, 292 miles; Mil- ler, 289 miles; Waller, 283 miles, 3 laps; CORDS. Meyers, 276 miles, 1 lap; Harding, 26) miles; Schock, 262 miles; Hanson, 255 miles, 3 laps; Blakeslee, 237 miles, 3 laps. — MORE TROOPS REACH CUBA, Reinforcements for thé Spanish Army Arrive at Havana. HAVANA, September 25.—The local guer- rilla force of Lajas, province of Santa Clara, has captured the insurgent leader Aniceto Hernandez. : The steamship Santiago arrived here to- day from Spain, with 59 Officers and 2,050 soldiers to reinforce the Spanish arm here. There were several cages of smaii- pox on board the steamer, and she was fu- migated before the troops landed. ANOTHER CHARGE Democratic Managers Make Allega- tions Against the Railroads. NEWS RECEIVED FROM SEVERAL STATES Reports Encouraging to the Suc- cess of the Silver Movement. — REPUBLICANS FOR BRYAN The democratic managers here charge that the railroads of Maryland have adopt- ed a method which s far more effective than the alleged intim‘dation and per- suasion, which was charged some time ago. From democratic headquarters today was given out the following regarding the new method in Maryland: “At the beginning of the campaign tons of literature were distributed to employes gently reminding them that the interests of the roads would be injured by free coin- age, the plea being that their bonds were payable in goid, and they would have to buy it, and this would compel discharges. ‘The men were asked to join clubs, attend meetings and take part in parades. Fear- ing that the men could not be trusted to vote the companies’ tickets on election day, when the secrecy of the polling booth would protect them, the companies have changed their tactics, and are now en- deavoring to prevent their men from reg- istering. Word has been passed along the line that it would be to the interest of democratic empioyes to refrain from regis- tering, while McKinley men are urged to register.” Claims From New York. Letters from the interior of New York state claim great gains for Bryan and Sew- all, and urge the committee to continue the fight for New York, the false impres- sion having been created by newspaper reports that New York was not considered fighting ground. Frank E. Shearman of Jamestown writes: “I was chairman of cur county committee in 1890, "91 and '92. We are in good shape in this county, and with an efficient organization can ma- terially reduce the republican majority. We can reduce it below ‘92, which was then the lowest it ever was in a presi- dential campaign. We will Iose a few aemocratic votees in the cities, but even in those I believe we will more than offset them with secessions from the republicans, while in the country we will make extensive gains from’ the republicans, populists and prohibitionists, with prac- tically no ioss from our people.” John N. Carlisle, chairman of the democratic com- mittee of Jefferson county, and member cemocratic state committee of the thirty- fifth district, writes: “Our county is very strong for silver, and in addition to our own membe there are a large number of republicans who are for silver. From the present outlook we ought to make a gain in oe county of over 1,000 over the vote of S92.” . B. Thomas, general manager of the Knickerbocker Ice Company, Toledo, Uhic, writes: “We are a!l working together here for a common cause and propose to carry this district not only for Bryan, but back him up with a silver member of Congress. We have a r2publican majority of 2,500 to cvercome, but at present rate of gain we will wipe that out and help the state in giving a majority of 100,000 for Bryan. Our meetings are crowded nfghtly, while the other side cannot raise a corporal’s guard. This is not overdrawn. We'republicans are fighting under Bryan for a principle, while the other side are working for the spoils gevernment for Mark Hanna, of which Mc- Kinley would be but a sorry figurehead. The best campaign document you can send out in this state would be a compilation of McKinley's life record on the silver ques- tion. Thousands of honorable republicans will not vote for him on account of his sale of principle for office. They class him = a traitor, along with Sherman and Fos- er.”” John D. Worman, secretary of the demo- cratic committee on organization of the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania, has forwarded to headquarters a copy of a cir- cular which, he writes, “was received at the office of the Pennsylvania Ra‘lroad Company in this city (Philadelphia), Sep- tember 23, and distributed by heads of de- partments at once. The same thing was done by the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- road Company.” The circular purports to be a dialogue between a conductor and a brakeman, and claims that in the event of free coinage the railroads would have to cut down wages and make discharges. It is In contemplation by the clubs in Pennsyl- vania to ascertain whether the large sums expended by the railroad corporations in that state for political purposes are legiti- mate expenses, and if not, to take legal Ae to prevent such disbursements in the ure. Letters From Illinois. J. D. Fostes of Parkersburg, Ill., writes: “All of our farmers are for silver, and we must have some literature for them. The republicans have plenty, and are continu- ally placing their bolting brethren under the lash. Ordinarily this township ts 30 re- publican; we ought to carry it by 20 to 30 for silver. I know what I am talking about.” A. L. Hereford of Springfield, state super- intendent of public printing, says: ‘‘Every- thing is In the best condition tn Illinois, especially outside of Cook county, and w. know that Cook county is all right also. J. Ion Montgomery of Aurora writ “Great force, coercion, much money, many speakers and tons of literature are being used by the republicans in this congres- sional district (the eighth). They are scared, and they have good reason to be.” John Vall of Deland writes: “The silver sentiment is growing in this county, and we have many converts from the republi- can ranks.” N. J. Ludi, editor of Harlem County Democrat, writes: “The republi- cans are spending money like water, and the corporations are intimidating their em- ployes. But it won't succeed. Bryan is ab- solutely safe to carry Illinois. Our county will give Bryan over four hundred major- ity, and we are making many converts.” Mr. McKean on New Jersey. One of the best posted men in New Jer- sey is sald to be W. S. McKean, the organ- izer of the state democratic society of New Jersey, who conducted the anti-convention campaign for Cleveland in 1892, who has sirce visited every part of the state. Mr. McKean was shown today the lst of the electoral ticket of the gold democrats of New Jersey and asked what would be the effect of the third ticket in that state. “I know all of them by reputation and most of them personally,” said Mr. McKean. “There is but one active politician in the lot. It is a dress-parade ticket, and not a vote-getting ticket. It will not affect the result in New Jersey. I have looked over all the counties of the state and I cannot see where the ticket will get over 3,900 votgs, and that mears that there is a good hor@ of New Jersey remaining in the dem- cergtic column, where she has been for so fiany years. The electoral ticket is almost entirely composed of persons inter- ested in trusts and moneyed corporations. There 13 no particular state issue, except the bad record of the republican state ad- ministration, which has been conducted with extravagance and in the interestS-of the corporations, in many of which the re- publican candidate for the vice presidency is interested. On the national issues New Jersey is democratic. Our losses will principally co! ‘om Bergen, Essex and Union counties, and our gains will be throughout the state, nctable'im the soutn and northwestern portions of the state, among the farmers and (generally among the laboring men. | Of ‘course, the ne campaign method of coertion among ike railroad men especially has been initiated, but owing to an excellent ballot system coercion cannot successfully be practiccd. “What about the new chairman of the state committee? Well, of course, we re- gret that Senator Smith is not in full sym- pathy with the democratic platform, and therefcre he thought best to resign, but his successor, Col. I. L. Price of Newark, 1s qualified in every way to conduct an energetic and aggressive campaign. He is just the man for this campaign, popular among the masses, a thorough organizer and well acquainted with every section of the state. He has shown his capacity in mekirg winning fights, notably last spring, ee chairman of the Essex county commit- eee? ‘Of course I realize the fact that the republicans and their allies, the trusts and corporations, strain every nerve to win, and I realize that New Jersey may be classed as a doubtful state, but I sincerely believe, knowing the state as I do, that New Jersey will cast her electoral vote for Bryan and Sewall.” W._K. Corson, secretary of the Bryan and Sewall Club of Camden, N. J., writes: “We are doing a good work here. We will lose but few democratic votes and gain more republicans. In November next I think you will near that New Jersey will give her electoral vote for Bryan and Sewall.”” ‘To Invade West Virginia. West Virginia will be invaded next week by two separate traveling parties. Mr. Bryan, acompanied by Senator Faulkner, Stilson Hutchins, Mr. Bell, Jefferson Chandler and others, will make the tour of the northern part of the state along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. On October 1 at 2:20 p.m. Gov. Black, La rence Gardner and others of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, with Ar- thur Sewall, will leave Washington for St. Louis, via the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- roai. A short stop will be made by the club party at Huntington, where Mr. Bryan will speak, also, on October 2. At Cincin- nati Vice President Stevenson, who is to address the clubs October 3 at St. Louis, will join the party, which will be met by a torehlight parade at St. Louis. Mr. Bryans tour take: the northern part of the state of West Virginia, while at the same time the club associations will traverse the southern part of the state, A large dele- gation from the West Virginia Association of Clubs joins the latter party at Hunting- ton. Se Se: PROMISE TO DUBOIS. A Report That He May Go Into Bryan's Cabinet if Free Silver, Wins. A story emanating from the west is to the effect that if Senatar Dubois fails of re-election in his own state he has been promised a place in the eabinet ef Mr. Bry- an, provided free silver is. swecessful. The story is not denied qr confirmed in Bryan official circles here, githough it is said that it may be improbable because of Mr. Bryan’s well-known position that he will not promise a place to any* one before the election. It 1s. suggested that he may have made”an exception in this instance for the good such a promise:may do him in the west and among silver republicans throughout the country. It is said that the democrats may want to do scmething to atone for what appears to have been the. ungrateful treatment of Senator Dubois,by the giver: ferces of his own state. The turning “down of the Sen- ator there is said, to have lost yotes for the Bryan ticket among s#ivet’ republicans, The latest story, if true, may be for the pur-. pore of winning kack these votes. SECRETARY CARLISLE BACK. He Will Spenk During the Campaign in Kentucky. Secretary Carlisle has returned to the city after a prolonged absence at Buzzard's Bay, where ke was the guest of the Pres- Jdent, and other resorts. The Secretary was busy with his mail thig morning anc said that he had not yet had an opportu- nity to give any consideration to the large number of invitations he had received to deliver political addresses during the re- maining weeks of the canipaign. In’a gen- eral way, however, he hag concluded to speak three or four times in Kentucky, but the necessity of soon beginning the labor- ious task of writing his annual report would certainly prevent him: from speaking outside of his own state. ‘he places and dates for his Kentucky speeches have not been arranged. Mr. Carlisle left the Pres- ident and his family in excellent health. It is expected that they will not return to Washington before the middle of October. 2 AGAINST WOOD. FEELING He Introduced Jackson Into Pearl Bryan’s Home. INDIANAPOLIS, September 25.—Will Wood, who introduced Scott Jackson into the home of his cousin, Pearl Bryan, has been trying to enter one of the medical colleges of Indianapolis. Young Wood and his father, a highly respected man, called on Dr. Earp, the dean of the Central Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Earp denied admission to the yeung man. On Tuesday Wood applied to the Medical Col- lege of Indiana for admission, but he has not yet matriculated. Fred.

YALE STUDENTS’ CONDUCT a SPRINGFIELD, Mass., September 2h Greatly refreshed by a ten hours’ sleep, Mr. Bryan left Hartford at 11:10 thie morr ing to “invade the enemy’s country” still further. There was a small crowd 2t the depot to catch a parting glimpse of the nominee, and to these Mr. Bryan made 4 few rcmarks. He told them that the mon- ey changer was interested in having a dear Gollar, and that a dear dollar meant hard es to the producers of wealth. There was no demonstration, no cheering and nothing in the way of enthusiasm. On the train was a Springfield committee, headed by Col. John L. Rice. ‘The first stop was at Wi small crowd had gathe! banner, “McKinley and Prosperity. were a few cheers for him by part of the rowd and more cheers for his opponen’ At Windsor Locks, the next stop, the a: semblage was more enthusiastic for Mr. Bryan. There everybody wanted to shal hands with bim and called on him for a sreech. “I em glad to see you,” was the extent of his address, and even that was applauded. Thompsonville also gave him a cordial reception and he was cheered enthusia: cally by the few hundred persons gathere about the depot. Mr. Bryan Spenks in Massachanetts. Mr. Bryan arrived in Springfield at and was met at the station by Mayor Win- ter, members of the board of aldermen aid George Fred Williams. A great crowd fol- lowed him to fhe court square, where he spoke to a large audience that filled half the park. On the conclusion of the speech he went to the Hotel Worthy for dinner and at 1:15 left for Boston. In his speech at the court square Mr. Bryan sald: “Ladies and gentlemen: i3e- fore entering upon a discussion of the sreat paramount Issue of this campaign I desire in this city to pay tribute to independent journalism. (Applause.) | My friends, 1 have always respected an honest and earn- est and able opponent. I never criticised the right of any one to speak his senti- ments and expréss his ideas as clearly, a5 forcibly, as eloquently as he can. I believe with Jefferson that error is harmless where reason is left free to combat it. (Great applause.) And ff any man has an idea, 1 am willing for him to launch that idea and trust to the merits of that idea to make its way into the mind and inte the hearts of men, and I respect the Springfield Republi- can for the high (great applause) plane upon which it discusses political questions. I respect it for the tolerance which it shows to political opponents and without censuring those who substitute abuse for argument, 1 can commend those who use argument instead of abuse. (Great an plause.) I can commend also to every cit zen the words of that distinguished editor who was the founder of this paper. I am told that he is the author of the expression that a man who is not willing to die for a cause in which he believes is not worthy to live. (Great applause.) Enrvestness of the Silver Men. “My friends, it is willingness of people to stake their all upon the correciness of their convictions that has enabled truth to spread from person to person until at lasi it overcomes the opposition. And In this campaign we have as good an illustration as was ever given of the depth of convic- tion and the intensity of earnestness in the presentation of the cause. I challenge you to find among all the hosts who have defended a cause more earnest men than are found today among the advocates uf the right of this government to legislaic for itself without regard to other nations. (Great applause.) It will not do to say there is no cause for such a feeling as is manifested now. “Now you read the dispatch which ap- peared in yesterday morning's paper from London, you will find that a great meeting of agriculturists was held in Buda Pesth and in speaking of that meeting the ¢ patch said that practically all of tho: representing agricultural societies were in favor of the’ restoraticn of bimetallism. My friends, our opponents sometimes tell us that this movement in favor of free coinage is started by the mine owners and kept up by the mine owners. I want them to understand that they cannot explain this great uprising of the people on the theo that it fs instigated by men who own bul- lion, and who want to sell it at a higher price. This great uprising comes from the masses of the people who do not produce bullion, but they produce property, and they realize that the gold standard has been driving value out of the properiy which they produce. (Applause.) “The opposition press may well afford to peuse in their ridicule of the advocates of free coinage in their denunciation as law- less characters, to find out whether there is a well-founded reason for this advoca of bimetallism among the farmers of th= United States, of Ireland, of England, of Germany, of France and of every nation wich has been cursed by the gold stan- lard. indsor, where a Interests of the Farmer. “My friends, I assert here, and I chal- lenge any gold bvg paper to dispute it, that a financial policy which is injurious to the agricultural classes has nothing to com- mend it to the government in any nation on earth. (Great applause and cheers.) Tne gold standard has never commended itself to the agricultural classes of any country which has ever had it. What will you say then? Will you say that these farmers have no right to have their interests re- spected? No, you dare not say that, be- cause, my friends, they must first produce wealth before trere is wealth to be dis- tributed. What will you say then—that, having the right to have their interests re- spected, they have not the intelligence to know what is best for them? No, you dare not say, that, because you know that in public life and in business life ic is the best brains that you have come from the farms and the country. (Applause.) “What answer will you make to them? When they ask for bread, will you gi them a stone? When they ask for fish, w: yeu bestow serpents upon them? That has been the policy of the financiers of this countay, and dissembling their selfishness they have been attempting to force their ideas upon others. While others have fallen down beneath the weight of those ideas, the financiers themselves have risen to prosperity on the prostrate forms of the fallen. (Great applause and cheering.) “No person can accuse me of attempting to deny to the financiers or even to the money changers che right to their opinion, the right to their votes, the right to every legitimate influence. What I deny to them is this: The right to think for anybody but themselves; the right to act for anybody but themselves; the right to put themselves above other people and go through the werld crying, ‘I am hclier than thou; I am holier than thou.’ (Cheers and applause.) a Wreck of the Steamer Hugo.

W. E. Cook, a prominent grain and coal merchant of Cook, Fayette county, Ohio, writes the republican congressional com- mittee. “I am most happy to be able to report a very favorable outlook in this sec- tion. I only know of one republican who is off, and I can report ten democrats who wili vote the straight republican ticket and three who will vote for Palmer and Buck- ner.”” A. C. Larson of Eau Claire, Wis., the nominee of the democrats and populisis in the seventh congressional district of Wisconsin, to oppose Michael Griffin, repub- ican, for Congress, has filed his declination with the secretary of state. Larson was one of the five Wisconsin delegates to the Chicago convention who voted for Bryan. Cool Recep: to Senator Teller. A preminent citizen of Somerset, Ky., writing a personal letter to a member o! the republican congressional committee, un- der date of September 22, says: “Senator Teller of Colorado spoke here yesterday to a crowd not exceeding 700--more than half of whom were republicans,“ 100 sound money democrats and the balance Bryan- ites. His reception was cooler than the present cold wave, and no enthusiasm whatever was shown by the audience, who gave him close attention through respect for the distinguished man. That portion of his speech not devoted to the money question was a strong protection argu- ment, and really acted as a boomerang on the free silverites, for it made votes for McKinley. This county gave Bradley 1 majority last fall. We intend to edu the people up to 2,000 majority for Gov- rnor McKinley, with the aid of your edu- cational documents. i. Sunerior, G.

Mr. Babcock says ex- Congressmen La Follette is now in Wis- ccnsin, taking an active part in the cam- paign in that state. They are entirely separate and distinct persons.

There was nothing in the dispatch to warrant the inference that it was La Follette of Wisconsin, as the rames are not the same and the dispatch plainly states that the gas mau hails from Indiana. At the same time, in justice to the Wisconsin man, the error ought to be ccrrected.” 2 PALMER GOES TO BALTIMORE. Gold Standard Democrats to Ratify the Indianapolis Ticket.
