RUMORS OF QUARRELS SILENCED There is Some Minor Friction, but Things Are Working Smoothly. MR. HOBART IS ACTIVE Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 9, 1896. Now that Mr. Hanna has gone away from the national republican headquarters in this city, the general management of the campaign, so far as this end of the coun- try is concerned, seems to have been turned over to Senator Quay. Mr. Quay is in the city all the time, and spends more time at the national headquarters than any member of the committee. Mr. Manley is a good second. Mr. Quay goes to the headquarters every morning shortly after 8 o'clock, shuts him- self into a room not far from the one oc- cupied by Mr. Hobart, and remains, ex- cept for a little interval for luncheon, until early evening. His method of spending hit time, and the business which he attends to, lead to the conclusion that he, more nearly than any other man, is in charge of the really important work. If any of the big politicians from this state or other States go to headquarters, they see Mr. Quay. If Mr. Platt calls he is more likely to see Mr. Quay, Mr. Manley and Mr. Ho- bart than any of the other members of the committee, and the same Is true of Chair- man Charles W. Hackett of the republican state committee. Beyond the Reach of Spellbinders. ‘The army of “spellbinders” that con- stantly marches in and out of the head- quarters do not get at Mr. Quay. If they get past the outer guard they meet Gen. Powell Clayton or Mr. Scott of West Vir- ginia, and these two members of the com- mittee are charged with the duties of “standing off” all the strikers, book agents, applicants for office or positions under the committee, and the thousand and one in- ventors of campaign schemes who are con- stantly flocking to headquarters. Humors of Quarrels Silenced. ‘There have been stories from time to time of serious disagreements among mem- bers of the national committee as to the conduct of the eampaign in its larger uf- fairs. Mr. Quay and Mr. Hanna were said to have had almost a quarrel as to the Folicy to be pursued in the southern states. Stories have been circulated and published that Mr. Hanna was in favor of abandon- ing the campaign in all the couthern states, except Kentucky and West Virginia, while Mr. Quay thought there was fighting ground in Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, North Carolina and some others. Of course, Mr. Quay and Mr. Hanna would not admit that any differences of opinion they may have had amounted to anything. The ‘act that when Mr. Hanna went away Mr. Quay stepped into his place as the practi- cal eastern manager has pretty effectively silenced these stories, which had gotten into the newspapers and were making a gooa deal of talk. A Little Friction. ‘There is just a little friction on the inside of the committee rooms, however. The secretary of the executive committee is William M. Osborne of Massachusetts. He is a cousin of Mr. McKinley. His middle name is McKinley, and he is supposed to be the personal representative of Mr. Mc- Kinley at these headquarters. Of course, he is deep in the councils of Mr. Hanna. None of the committeemen have any objections to this; but it does grate a little on the sen- sibilities of some of the old-timers who have been connected with the committee work for the last three or four campaigns to have Mr. Osborne given too much promi- nence in the conduct of the business. Mr. Osborne’s Power. One story was that in Mr. Hanna's ab- sence all bills for expenses had to be “O. K.ed” by Mr. Osborne before any cash could go out, and this worried Mr. Quay and Mr. Manley, as well as some of the executive force of the committee. They thought it was making the campaign too much of a family affair. Some of the em- ployes about the committee rooms are mak- ing frequent references to “Cousin Os- borne,” and they say that Mr. Osborne's chief function is to keep close “tabs” on what's going on, for the benefit of Mr. Hanna and Mr. McKinley when the chair- man is not present. This, of course, is not a very serious matter so far as the htavy work of the campaign is concerned, but it makes a little show of trouble in the camp. Busy Mr. Hobart. Vice Presidential Candidate Hobart is do- ing as much work, probably, as he would if he were a member of the national execu- tive committee, as he had been for some years prior to his nomination at St. Louis. He is at the headquarters every day. His experience in national campaigning had been greater than Mr. Hanna's, and he was much more familiar with the eastern end of the country than Mr. Hanna was when the campaign began, and so, while Mr. Manley was down in Maine looking after his owr state, and while Mr. Quay was in Florida and had not entered on the active work of the campaign, Mr. Hobart was Mr. Hanna's chief adviser. He had a room adjoining that of the chairman and the two were in almost constant consulta- tion. He knew personally about every member of the national committee, and he was familiar with the conditions in the southern and eastern states, where there were delicate questions to be adjusted. Consequently Mr. Hobart shared with Mr. Hanna in the direction of the campaign. An Open Door. Mr. Hobart is easily accessible. Of course there is somebody outside his door to pre- vent all the tramps, peddlers, book agents, menufacturers of campaign buttons and people with chowder party tickets to sell from wearying him and absorbing all his time, but anybody who goes up to head- quarters with any serious proposition and wants to lay it before Mr. Hobart can get a hearing. He has a great mass of cor- respondence every day, which he attends to promptly, and, in addition to conferring with the members of the committee, list- ening to reports from state chairmen, con- sulting by long-distance telephone with the Chicago headquarters, and informaliy discussing the campaign with scores of prominent republicans, he keeps close track of the situation in all the states, and gives advice as to the best methods of con- ducting the fight. He is in frequent com- munication with Maj. McKinley. A Gental Candidate. With all this work, Mr. Hobart is by no means growing thin during the campaign. His face is as rosy as a school girl's, and he doesn’t look as if he had lost a pound of flesh since the St. Loufs convention. He doesn’t put on any more airs than are be- coming to a Jerseyman. Frequently he leaves his room and strolls out m the cor- ridor, shakes hands with the newspaper men, the spellbinders and the assistants of all degrees, and he is always good-natured. He goes to his home in Paterson, N. J. every night, about 5 or 6 o'clock; that is to say, when he goes home at all, for oc- casionally, when Mr. Hanna was in town and Mr. Hobart had an unusual pressure of business, he remained in town over night, going to the Waldorf Hotel, in Sth avenue, where Mr. Hanna stayed. Speakers and Literature. ‘The work which is done at the national headquarters, that is to say, the work of sending out speakers and campaign litera- ture, is far ahead of the average national campaign. Of course, much of it ts done at the Chicago headquarters; but as there is a long-distance telephone, with direct connection between the two headquarters, the two branches are very closely con-+ nected, and the work done at both was fully understood, if not managed, from the headquarters here while Mr. Hanna was here. It is estimated that three car loads of campaign literature are sent out every day for distribution by county com- raittees, and the number of campaign ora- tors who are under the jurisdiction of Gen. Clayton here number several hundred. ‘It keeps the general and a considerable force of clerks arranging their routes and giving directions by mail or wire, so that they may cover the most territory without in- cectertns: with. or duplicating each other's worl - HOOSIERDOM BADLY MIXED Republicans, However, Seem to Be More Confident of Success. Brya Visit Failed to Convert the Workingmen and His Managers Are Disappointed. Correspondence of The Evening Star. INDIANAPOLIS, October 9, 1896. Since 188) Ind‘ana has not been so thor- oughly worked up politically as it is just at this time. Even the preachers are talk- ing politics. Some of them are on the stump, while others discuss the situation in @ more orderly way. They are especially worked up over what they call the anar- chistic part of the Chicago platform. This activity on their part is having consider- able influence, especially in the cities. Both parties are not only confident, but are enthusiastically so. The democratic managers admit they will lose heavily in the cities, but claim they will make great gains in the country districts. At first they had hoped to make greit headway among the workingmen, especially by their pleas against capitalists, banks and monop- olies, but they admit that in this they have been disappointed. Bryan's Visit. They are also somewhat disapgointed over the results of Mr. Bryan's visit. Not in the crowds so much as in the show of gains. The crowd which received him in this city was large and fairly enthusiastic, but there was a very apparent absence of workingmen, and it was hoped he would captivate them by his oratory. They are not quite so sanguine as to a large plu- rality as they were a week or two ago, but still defiantly and confidently claim the state, but while this is true of the managers, the followers who are in the habit of risking their money on elections do not shew a disposition to accept the statements of victory so confidently made. They will not risk their mony, even when odds of two to one are offered. Money of- fered at two to one on 10,000 for McKin- ley still goes begging for takers. As to Congressional Seats. The democrats claim they will elect at least five of the thirteen Congressmen, with a prospect of making it seven. On the legislature they say they will have it by a safe majority on joint ballot. That they may succeed in accomplishing. The repub- licans, however, make the same claim. They are now claiming that they will have a majority of at least ten in the senate, and that the democrats cannot possibly get more than six majority in the house. This is rather an uncomfortably close margin in these times, and the complexion of the legislature may well be regarded as in doubt. The democrats and populists have fused in a number of the close legislative districts. The farming districts will de- termine the politics of the legislature, for all the manufacturing counties will send republican members, with the exception of jen. Gains and Losses. The republicans put their loss to Bryan in the state at 2,000, and say it cannot pos- sibly go over 5,000. They also say they will get that many of the populist votes for McKinley. They also claim that the gains McKinley will make in this and Allen ecunties will be greater than the loss they will expertence in the whole state. From all the indications the republicans will gain in this county from 3,000 to 4,000, and at least 2,000 in Allen county. The follow- ing are the figures of gains claimed by the republicans in the larger cities: Indian- 000; Evansville, 1,000; Fort Wayne , 500; Laporte. 200; South 300; Logansport, 300; Michigan City, 300; Anderson, 500; Terre Haute, 500, and New Albany, 300. While the democrats will not admit these claims in their entirety, they do admit the cities named will cast a largely increased repub- lican vote. Sound Money Democrats. ‘The sound money democrats have entered into the work this week more vigorously than ever, and are very much encouraged. ‘They are having speeches made in most of tke counties, and say that within the next two weeks their speakers will visit every ccunty in the state. The republicans will make no effort to get up a big demonstra- tion to offset that made for Bryan, saying that such demonstrations have lost all in- fluence on votes. They are making about seventy speeches a day in the state. CONFEDERATES AT CANTO) Most Enthusiastic Demonstration of the Campaign. Of all enthusiastic demonstrations since the St. Louis convention, Canton, Ohio, has never seen the like of yesterday. The “rebel yell” was heard for the first time on her streets. The visit of the old confeder- ate warriors from the Shenandoah valley brought thousands of persons to town. The 1,800 Virginians were expected early in the morning. Train delays kept them on the road until 4:30 o’clock. Then they were met by the Union veterans of Canton, sev- eral hundred strong. They came ‘with badges inscribed: “No north, no south, no east, no west; the Union forever.” Arm in arm with the old boys in blue, the veter- ans in gray were escorted to the Taber- nacle, where the G. A. R. and the Woman's Relief Corps served them dinner. They had a new version of an old song, and sang “We are coming, Father McKinley, two hundred thousand strong.” From the Tabernacle to the McKinley home the streets were lined with expectant people. Three hundred Cleveland veterans joined in the escort, The bands played “Dixie,” “America” and “Marching Through Georgia." The throngs of people on the way joined in the yells of the marchers as best they could. Maj. McKinley spoke from a small tem- porary reviewing stand covered with the national colors. 5 After Maj. McKinley had responded to the addresses, ex-Mayor R. A. Cassiday of Canton presented the visitors a magnificent banner by which to remember their visit here. Upon one side is represented clasped hands, indicating the union of all the sol- diers. Above these are the words, “Unit- ed,” with “McKinley Club” in large gold letters. On the reverse side is a large American eagle in gold nesting upon a large shield. This side bears the inscrip- tio resented to the ex-confederate vet- erans of the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, by the ex-Union veterans of Canton, Ohio, October 9, 1896. After the presentation, Capt. W. S. Lurty added the assurances of support in a few informal remarks. Maj. McKinley then personally greeted the visitors, standing on his porch while they filed past him. -ce- PLACES TO BE FILLED. Examinations Soon to Be Held by the Civil Service Commission. An examination will be held by the United States civil service commission on October 28, 29, 30 and 31 for the positions of junior architectural draftsman, architectural draftsman, structural iron draftsman, heat- ing and ventilating draftsman, computer and senior architectural draftsman, in the cffice of the supervising architect of the treasury. The examinations will be held et Washington, D. C., and at other points where the commission has competent boards of examiners. The commission will also hold an exam- ination at all cities where there are aa- plicants November 10, to establish a reg- ister of eligibles for the position of wheel- wright. The commission has a requisition from @ topographical draftsman, but has no eligibles. ‘ MR. EDGERTON TALKS The Populist Sgoretary Says Some- thing Ahbut Nebraska. THINKS THE STATE SURE FOR BRYAN How He Believés the Congressional Contest$,Will Result. of PEOPLE’S PARTY HISTORY When Nebraska politics are to be talked about there is no one more interesting on this line than Secretary J. A. Edgerton of the populist national committee, located here. Mr. Edgerton was for several years the populist state chairman of Nebraska. He krows the ins and outs of the politics of the state and the history of the men who are now making the State famous--not the history of Bryan alone, but of Morton, Thurston, Manderson, Allen, Bently and many others. Nebraska is furnishing some big men in this fight, and they are found on all sides of the question. It is not to be wondered that Nebraskans have a somewhat elevated opinion of their state at this juncture. Nebraska for Bryan. Mr. Edgerton talked over this wide and interesting field to a Star reporter, first prefacing his remarks by saying that Ne- braska was sure to go for Bryan, and giv- ing the figures upon which his opinion js based. “The voting strength of the state, in reund numbers,” said Mr. Edgerton, “‘is di- vided about as follows, according to the claims of the respective parties: Republi- cans, 90,000; populists, 70,000; democrats, 45,000; prohibitionists, 5,000. "Bryan will poll all the populist vote, 40,000 of the dem- ocratic vote and 3,000 of the prohib:tion vote and 10,000 silver republicans. ‘There is no doubt in my mind that he will get 10,000 republican votes. This would give him a total of 123,000. The republicans will poll 80,000 straight votes and will get 5,000 gold democrats, giving them a total of about $5,000. The straight prohibition vote will not be over 2,0#. I do not believe that over 0) democrats will vote for McKinley. The Congressional Fight. “As to the congressional fights, I belleve the silver men are sure of four out of the six Representatives. They stand a chance of getting five. In the first district fight is close. It is between Judge J. H. Broady, democrat and populist, and Repre- sentative Strode, republican. In the second district, Representative Mercer has for his opponent Judge Duffie, who has been agreed upon by all the silver elements. That dis- trict will also be close, but Mr. Mercer will probably be elected. In the third district the democrats and populists met in mass convention and nominated ex-Chlef Justice Maxwell to. ose Ross L. Hammond, re- publican. Juuge Maxwell is sure of elec- tion. The candidates -in the fourth district are Representatiye. Hainer, republican, and Judge W. L. Stark, fusion candidate. The chances favor Stark. The populists and democrats of the Mfth district held a mass convention and put.out E. R. Sutherland, a good campaigner, against Representative Andrews, republican. The district nominal- ly belongs to the pdpulists, even without democratic ald, and Sutherland will be elected. Judge W. Lb. Green will have a walkover in the sixth district. He will de- feat A. E. Cady} thé republican nominee, 2,000 or 3,000; possibly more. Judge Green is a fine speaker, and is popular. “The popullsts and democrats have close fusion. They ate ththuslastic and are working in perfect hatmony.” Origin of the Populist Party. Of the origin df the populist party Mr. Edgerton said that ex-Senator Van Wyck first began to talk kndependent in politics in 1889, in conjunctfon with the alliance agitation. The ‘party was organized in 18%), and its first ticket was put in the field that year. It polled 70,000 yotes the first year, and has not increased much in strength since that time. Mr. Edgerton said that the populists of Nebraska had supported Mr. Bryan in every race he had made in that state. “Mr. Bryan's efforts for free silver in the democratic party of Nebraska are inter- esting,” Mr. Edgerton said. ‘He made the first fight at the head of the silver demo- crats of the state in the state convention in 1893. He was turned down and the con- vention indorsed Cleveland and Morton. Between the date of that convention and the state convention in 1894 the silver democrats began to organize under Bryan’s leadership, and in 1804 the silver wing dominated the state convention. They de- cided to support Holcombe, the populist nominee for governor, who was elected in that year. The similarity of that campaign and this is that the gold bug democrats bolted and yoted the republican ticket, just as they will do this year. That was the bitterest fight in the history of the state. Majors, the republican nominee for gov- ernor, was beaten by about 3,000 votes, but this was done by Rosewater of the Omaha Bee and other leading republicans. Bryan's Defent for the Senate. “Senator Thurston, who beat Bryan for the Senate In 1804, and at the same time took the place of Senator Manderson, had been prominent in Nebraska politics for years. Senator Manderson’s friends made a fight for his re-election, but when they saw it could not be accomplished they gave up, and Thurston got the full republican support. Previous to 1894 the leaders of the two parties had been Senator Mander- son of the republicans and J. Sterling Mor- ton of the democrats. Each was put in the rear, and the new men—Bryan and Thurston—came to the front. Bryan's de- feat for the Senate two years ago can be compared to the history of Lincoln. He was defeated for the Senate in 1858 and elected President in 1860. Secretary Morton became the political enemy of Bryan in 1892, Bryan was an unknown man when he was elected to the House in 1800. Mor- ton became his enemy two years after- ward and has ever since been his bitter enemy. Mr. Morton never held a prominent office since the stite was admitted to the Union. In 18% Boyd, the democratic nom- inee, was elected governor, receiving 71,000 votes. Morton was the democratic candi- date in 1892, but received only 45,000 votes. Another interesting fact about the strength of Bryan and Morton in their state is that in 3886 Jchn A. McShane, democrat, was elected to Congress over his republican opporent in the district in which both Mor- ton and Bryan live. In 1888 Morton se- cured the romination.in place of McShane, and was defeated by, Connell, the republi- can nominee. Two;years afterward, or 1800, Bryan was ‘the. democratic nominee in the same distyct,,and it was supposed to be hopelessly republican. He defeated Conrell by 6,000;.votes. The district was redistricted in 1803 {} make It republican, bu Bryan won that Year. That shows the differerce betwee Morton and Bryan. Thurston-an@ Manderson. * “There 1s also ‘goifie interesting history about Thurston beating Manderson for the presidential nomimatian this year. The re- publican state comntiittee was known as a Manderson committee, Rather early in the year a meeting of thf state committee was called by Representative Hainer, the state chairman. The otject of the meeting was to put Manderson*in ‘the field for the pres- idential nominatidn. “Thurston got onto the scheme. Hainer left ‘the city for Nebraska on one train, Thurston took the next train for his home. The meeting of the com- mittee was held, but for some reason Man- derson was not indorsed. Then began the fight forthe delegates from the state. It was rea a fight between the Thurston and Manderson forces. It was about a stand-off in the preliminary fights, but in the state convention McKinley and Thurs- ton swept the day. “The democrats and repubilcans are not the only parties in Nebraska- which have men of national importance and of great intellect. Senator Allen would probably have been the populist presidential nom- inee had the Chicago convention not been denominated by silver men. Senator Al- Jen’s patriotism in this fight will become known some day. Two or three months be- fore the Chicago convention Senator Allen saw the drift of things. He wrote Gov- « the. ernor Holcombe a letter withdrawing his name from consideration as a presidential candidate, and saying that the Chicago convention would nominate a silver maz. In that event he thought the candidate ought to be indorsed by the populists. How far ahead Senator Allen saw and how de- voted he was to the cause is proven. “Rev. Charles E. Bently, the presidential nominee of the national prohibitionists, is @ resident of Lincoln, and a brainy man. “Governor Holeombe has made the best governor the state ever had, and will some aay come to the front tn national ‘politics, like all other Nebraska men.” CHICAGO'S RIVAL PARADES MARYLAND CLAIMS Mr. Wellington Confident of 20,000 Plorality for McKinley. DEMOCRATS ALSO CLAIM THE STATE What the Figures of the Registra- tion Show. - Magnitude of the Sound Money Demonstra- tion. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS ——_—-___ Nearly 100,000 Paraders—Some Con- spicuous Features — The Silver Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., October 10.—Both po- litical parties in Maryland profess a confi- dence in the result of the election. At both headquarters the claim is made that the election is a certainty. In the matter of claims, however, the republicans appear to have several shades the best of it, as they show an inclination to give figures, while Chairman Talbott and his assistants confine themselves to the statement that the tide is running for Bryan, and that he will carry the state. Both headquarters present a busy scene these days, and at the democratic headquarters at the Carroll- ton the contrast is marked between the present activity and the apathy which has existed up to the last week. Both head- quarters have sent out tons of literature during the campaign, and the work on this line is still progressing. Baltimore street itself is a political headquarters for many squares, and tne banners stretched across it, the announcements of lifferent head- quarters in flaming letters, and the crowds that stand on the corners and do notaing but talk politics, gives an idea of ‘he tre- mendous interest taken in this city in the present campaign. Many separate ond dis- tinct parties are represented by headquar- ters or committees in Baltimore. Many Hendquarters, Torch Light Procession. Nearly 100,000 men marched yesterday in the great parade in honor of sound money and McKinley at’Chicago, described in yes- terday’s dispatches to The Star. Never had 80 great a public demonstration been held in Chicago. The parade began to move at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the last detachment did not reach the end of the route until late in the afternoon. So immense was the body of marchers that some divisions did not form until 3 or 4 o'clock in the after- noon. The procession was twelve miles long and 150 bands furnished the music. The parade was reviewed at two points; from a stand in front of the Union League club house it was watched by the mem- bers of the national republican committee and other prominent republicans, among them Chauncey M. Pepew. Another stand in front of the Palmer House contaired General Palmer, General Buckner and other national democrats, who smiled as they were cheered by the marching hosts. One of the most notable floats in the procession was entitled “The Key to the White House,” which represents “Uncle Sam” offering Major McKinley the goldea key to the Executive Mansion. On either end of the float were representatives of the There is a republican headquarters, demo- cratic, national democratic, honest mon farmer, mechanic the plaboring man and | democratic committee, populist, prohibition the capitalist.

Senator Wellington, who is in absolute charge of the republican campaign in the state, express the most unbounded con- fidence in the result. A more satisfied man would be hard to find than the newly- elected United States Senator as he re- celves reports from the state at the head- quarters in the News building. Wellington in answer to inquiries from the national committee has told them in the last uay or so that if Ohio was as certain palettes, marched in front of it. Another notable float was furniture workers, representing “Colum- bia” holding up the gold standard, sur- rounded by all the rations who are upon the same financial basis. This required eight horses to move, while behind it fol- lowed a two-horse donkey cart, containing a Mexican driver and a Chinaman holding up the silver dollar. One of the most beautiful floats in the parade was the one of the steel and iron workers, representing labor upon a so3ad money basis. It evoked the greatest xp- plause all along the route. Te nthousand steel and iron workers marched in froz:t and behind their float. The paint, ofl and varnish trade had hundreds in line. Their float represented the globe, surrounded by a large band, cn which were the words, “Sound Money, the World Over.” On the float were sated typical figures of gold standard countries, while Columbia, carrying an immense American flag, was seated on top of the globe.

One division formed on Michigan avenue, and as soon as it had passed Washington street the sec- ond wheeled in behind. The west side column formed in Haymarket square, and it poured over Randolph street bridge, join- ing the maim procession at the corner of Randolph and Market streets. A high wind rose in the evening and made it a matter of some difliculty to keep torches lighted. The commanding officers of the parade had ce- cided against the presence of floats in the line, and consequently the parade was com- posed largely of men on foot. The parade, after being fully formed at Market and Randolph streets, marched scuth to Jackson street, and then turned south on Michigan avenue to Ith street, along which it marched to Tattersall's, where the silver meeting was in progress. At this point it disbanded. The cold wind and the fatigue of the early part of the day had its effect on the num- ber of spectators, and the night parade v.us rot witnessed by the large crowds of the morning and afternoon. However, the Bryan men in the parade and those on the sidewalk showed no deficiency of enthusi- asm during the march. The slowly de- creasing number of torch lights in the parade was fully compensated for by the great number of calcium lights carried. There were fully fifty of these, and they made the streets as light as day. The democratic campaign managers ex- pressed themselves as more than satisfied with tke parade, and were greatiy pleased over the showing made. No attempt was made to review the procession, and it was carried through in an energetic manner.

The prisoners were conduct- ed to the solicitor’s room in the prison for the interview. Mr. Roosevelt said afterward that he lefc the prison convinced that if any man is in- nocent Mr. Castle is. He added that he can only think that the wife is not in her right mind. Otherwise, he cannot explain why a plated toast rack, marked “Hotel Cecil, has been found in her effects. Police Inspector Arrow, who has been placed in charge of the case, says that numerous articles from the continent were found in the trunks of the Castles after their arrest. “When I first arrested Mr. and Mrs. Cas- tle,” Insp. r Arrow continued, “I did them an injustice by thinking I had caught two notorious thieves. Subsequent events have disproved this. I am sorry for the man, but I cannot account why he did noc know that there was so much plunder in his wife’s possession.

Secretary of Agriculture Sterling Mor- ton spoke at the Auditorium in Chicago last night, under the auspices of the Sound Money League. The hall was filled to the extent of its seating capacity, and when Secretary Morton appeared upon the plat- form he was greeted with loud and enthu- siastic cheers. He was introduced by David B. Jones of the Sound Money League, who paid a flattering tribute to the Secretary as a politician and a man. Before begin- ning his address, Secretary Morton an- nounced that an invitation had been sent to President Cleveland requesting his y ence at the meeting. Mr. Morton then read the President's let- ter of regret at his inability to be present which was as follows: “GRAY GABLES, BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass B. Smith, Esq., chairman, My Dear Sir; I am so much interested in the work which the American Honest Money League has undertaken that 1 would be glad to do anything I consistent- ly could to aid its efforts. I regret, therefore, that T must ine your invitation to address the league on seme date previous to the approaching election. Even if the pressure of cflicial uty did not prevent, I should hardly Jeem {t consistent with strict propriety to mingle actively in the pending campaign. While it is impossible that any of my fellow citizens should have the least doubt as to my sentiments on the vital question which at this time absorbs so largely the attention of our people, the work of ad- vancing sound financial ideas and the labor of enforcing the lessons of public and pri- vate honesty and morality I feel must be prosecuted without such participation on my part as you suggest. Wishing for the league the utmost suc- cess in its patriotic endeavor, 1 am, yours very sincerely, GROVER CLEVELAND. Secretary Morton then spoke at length on the money question. —+ee THE NORTHWEST. BRYA The Nominee Leaves lowa and Speeds Through South Dakota. William J. Bryan, the democratic nominee, arrived in @toux City, Iowa, from Marshall- town at 10:25 o'clock yesterday morning, one hour behind schedule time. The fact that the train was late was caused by the numerous demands of the people along the line to see che silver candidate. Mr. Bryan was given a great reception Not only the population of the town turned out in force, but their numbers were in- creased by big delegations from Nebraska, just across the river. They gave their fellow citizen a great greeting, and the car shed of the Union station, where Mr. Bryan spoke from a platform, was thick- ly packed with listeners. There was a dodge into South Dakota at Elk Point, and while there was nothing in sight but fields of corn, several hundred farmers were waiting for the arrival of the candidate, and to them he spoke for two minute: A jump was taken back into Iowa at Hawarden, and here the farmers surround- ing the car showed more enthusiasm than at any place on the western trip. Canton, S. D., was the next place, and in the five minut Bryan spoke briefly to a crowd of farmers, who heard him with attention and ap- plauded him with vigor. Sioux Falls gave Mr. Bryan his first real reception in South Daketa. It drew on three states for crowds, Minnesota, lowa and Dakota, and the crowds were’ there. It was the most enthusiastic meeting nominee has had at any place of its size in the United States, Better preparations had been made, and a procession of no mean proportion was drawn up at the depot when the special train carrying the Bryan party pulled in. It was raining, and the day was not one calculated to inspire en- thusiasm or to swell crowds. After lun) eon Mr. Bryan was taken to the bicycle track near the city. By this time the rain was pouring in torrents, but when he reach- ed the stand he found an enthusiastic crowd standing in the mud waiting to hear him. Mr. Bryan's speech was devoted mainly to exonerating Senator Pettigrew from the charge of disloyalty to the republicans. ‘The train was nearly two hours late when stopping s there Mr. Huron, 5S. D., was reached. Here Mr, Bryan spoke to a good-sized audience, and was frequently applauded and cheered, Aberdeen was not reached until late at night. A big reception had been planned, but on account of the lateness of the it was not carried out to its full ex There was a lerge crowd in waiting, and Mr. Bryan made a brief address. ‘After his Aberdeen speech Mr. Bryan re- turned to his car and retired for the night, sleeping his way through to Fargo, N.
