MANY PAGES OF TRUTHS | Some of the Important Issues| That Are Set Forth in Tell- ing Style. ’ CONVINCING ARGUMENTS GIVEN How Financial Integrity Must Be Maintained and the Nation’s Prosperity Renewed. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 8.—Vice- Chairman Apsley of the Republican Con- gresssional Committee, accompanied by Representative McCall of Massachusetts, expects to start West next Wednesday for a tour of observation. Mf. McCall will make sgme speeches, while Mr. Apsley seeks to get an insight into the true con- dition of affairs in the territory visited. The States to be visited are Nebraska, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, California and Colorado. They expect to be gone upward of two months. The campaign book was issued this after- noon from Republican headquarters. It makes a neat-looking volume of 410 pages. Chairman Apsley says its distribution will be largely in the hands of the National Committee. The first edition consisted of 20,000 copies. TUnder the caption of “‘Issues,” the following are among the most important set forth: Coin, whether gola or silver, must be equal to the best. Financial integrity and | money enough to pay all bills; gold and | silver, equal dollars for all business; home markets for American products; imports must always be kept below exports; judi- ary of the United States must not be tampered with; ownership of railroads by the Government is opposed by the Repub- lican party, Tariff to orotect American labor and encourage home industry; pen- sions for veterans of the war equal to the pledge of the Nation. subject matter of the book deals with a great variety of topics and is pre- sented 1n an attractive manner. The committee believes that the whole volume will be valuable as a reference book for speakers, and as a guide for those who are endeavoring to acquaint themselves with the current questions of the day. Among the matter presented under appropriate heads are strong quotations from ieading Democratic newspapers, giving the rea- sons why they do not support the Chicago ticket; an article on Anpierican advance- ment, with articles n;?inst a change in the financial system; quotations from | the message of President Harrison of nber 6, 1892, on the great prosperity of the country, with particular reference | to the farming communities and agricul- turists; Representative Cannon’s view of the appropriations of the last session of Congress; historical matter concerning the industries of the country, present and past; essays on special subjects, such as bimetallism, the bond 1ssues of the United States, the history of the Bland-Allison act, ect. b ol sy AN A¥YPEAL TO VETERANS. Asked to Preserve the Honor of the Nation by Electing MoKinley. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 8.—The Union Veterans’ Patriotic League, which | was organized recently to support Mc- Kinley, issued an address to-day which will be sent to every veteran in the United States. It is in part as follows: New YORK, August 8, 1896. To the Surviving Soldiers and Sailors who Served in the Union Army and Navy During the War of the Rebellion — COMBA Your country is again in peril. In the present Presidential c ign dangerous combinations again threaten the integrity of the Government. Misguided and unscrupulous men conspire to bring repudiation, dishonor and financial ruin upon the Nation once saved by your valor. Comrades, you believe in liberty under law; in public order; in the maintenance oi our courts of justice and in National honor and You are unaiterably opposed to g of anarchy and mob rule. We be- lieve that you resent with earnestnessall at- tacks upon the executive and judicial depart- ments of our Government, and commend all measures which vindicate the supremacy of the law and restore public order whenever en- a; ered. Many of our great leaders have been mus- tered out—Grant, Sherman, Shertdan, McClel- lan, Hancock, Burnside, Garfield, Logan, Dix and many others have gone to their reward. Were they living they would be united with us in this crisis as they were in the days of the war. 1t remains for us to guarantee the good work they upheld while living, and to preserve | the peace they all helped us to gain for our country. Should this dangerous and revolutionary conspiracy against the financial honor and in. tegrity of the Government succeed,.every pen- | sioner, every depositor in saving banks, every y holder in any company, co-operative and buiiding and 10an association and assess- ment society would lose one-half of what is due him by being paid fifty-ceft silver dollars, Feeling assured that in this crisis you, the Union veterans of the late war, are surely in favor of an honest Government, we appeai to you to lay aside all partisan differences ana Tally to the support of our galiant comrade, Major McKinley. We urge you to form your- sclves into an association to be known as *“The Union Veterans’ Patriotic League” and doall in your power to secure the triumph of right. | We invite all sons of veteran societies to unite ith us in this campaign against National dis- honor. The address has about seventy-five sig- natures of former major-generals and offi- cers in the United States army, at the present time. Among them are Daniel N. Sickles, Horace Porter, Franz Siegel, L. Edwin Dudley and Oliver O. Howard. Former President Harrison wrote that while he was not in this city to affix his signature to the address, he wasin sym- pathy with it. GEEETINGS FOR McKINLEZX. The Major Cheered by Callers and an Enthusiastic Telogram. CANTON, Onio, Aug. 8.—Major McKin- ley’s callers to-day included the members ¢i the Ohio Canal Commission, who are on 2 tour of inspection of canals in the State. Jimes R. Rowen of lowa, chief clerk of the Holise of Representatives, and Colonel fested. F. H. ALBBIGHT, President, GEORGE A. DELASHMUTT, Secretary. Many other telegrams and letters an- nouncing the formation of clubs, etc., came from Eastern States. S BN AT THE HEADQUARTERS, Zively Campaign Work to Begin With Hanna’s Arrival. CHITJAGO, Irn, Aug. 8.—There was little businessdone at Republican National headquarters to-day partly on account of the absence of all the committeemen ex- cept Mr. Dawes and because of the great heat. There will be a lively resumption of campaign work Monday morning, when Mr. Hanna and his Oleveland staff take possession of the headquarters. The speakers’ bureau to-day assigned Senator Thurston to speak at Ottumwa, Iowa, August 15, e R NATIUONAL DEMOCRATS. The New Party to Lose No Time in Pro- ceeding to Work. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Aug. 8.—The executive committee of the National Democratic party held its first meeting to- day. W.D. Bynum was chosen chairman and John R. Wilson of Indianapolis secretary. This committee on transpor- tation was appointed: Hopkins of Illinoi chairman; Falknerof Alabama and Hold- ing of Ohio. The committee on campaign literature is composed of Cutcheon of Minnesota and Usher of Wisconsin. Inasmuch as a demand for sound-money literature is simply tremendous the committee was ordered to at once go about getting docu- ments together. The demand, says Sec- retary Wilson, is particularly great in Indiana. Messrs. Bynum and Wilson were authorized to select headquarters in Indianapolis to be used until the National Convention at least. They have not deter- mined where permanent headquarters will be located. An address to the public is being prepared by the executive com- mittee. Secretary Wilson says that it will be ready for publication within a week. John J. Rooney, secretary of the Demo- cratic Honest Money League of America, with headquarters in New York, appeared before the committee to offer the sound money party all the aid that it can pos- sibly give. This league is a month old and was organized for the single purpose of defeating the Chicago ticket. Major John Byrne, formerly of Detroit, now of New York, is president and ex-Governor Flower of New York is treasurer. The league’s minor officers and its member- ship, Mr. Rooney says, are filled with men prominently identified in the New York business world. His offers of assist- ance to the committee were gladly ac- cepted and he was asked to forward all the literature at his command at once. He notified the committee that two days aiter | Bryan makes bis speech in New York | Bourke Cockran will make a reply. The committee has not yet chosen its commit- tee on finance. It will meet again in Chicago at the Paimer House August 17. e iy JONES IS NOT ALARMED. Views With Complucency the Action of Sound Money Democrats. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 8.—Chair- man Jones of the National Democratic Committee views with complacency the action of the Sound Money Democrats at Indienapolis yesterday 1n cailing a con- vention for the nomination of a ticket and the adoption of a platform in consonance with the views of that wing of the party. “This action,” said he, **will for obvious reasons have no effect on the general re- sult. In the middle Western States, where the battle is to pe fought, the Democrats are more independent of action than they are in the East, and the lines of battle have been sharply drawn. In that country every man has made up his mind, or will by the day of election, and the fight will be squarely between Bryan and free silver on one side and the Mc- Kinley and the gold standard on the ot her. The ticket to be nominatod by the Indianapolis contingent will not affect these men. In the East the case may be different, but the result will be the same.” Ratify Populistic Action. LARNED, Kans,, Aug. 8.—The Demo- cratic and Populist conventions of the Seventh Kansas Congressional District met here to-day. The Democrats ratified the action of the Populists,who nominated Jerry S8impson by acclamation. GENERAL MILES VIGILANT Does Not Forget the Pacific " Coast in Recommendations for Defenses. Various Improvements Are to Be Made at Many of the Navy- Yards. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 8.—In his recent recommendations to the Secretary of War in regard to coast defenses Major- | General Miles did not forget the Pacific Coast. Itis understood that he has recom- mended to Secretary Lamont that a new artillery station be established at Lime Point, near San Francisco. This is in ad- dition to other recommendations he has made urging the establishment of similar stations at Forts Hancock, Trumbull, Washington, and at Charleston, 8. C., and Savannah, Ga. All of these places are on the Atlantic coast. General Miles regards Lime Point as a most important point for defense, and in.his recommendations to Secretary La- mont points out the necessity of having men at these places to give proper atted- tion to the batteries there. Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn has recommended to the Navy Department, and his recommendation has been adopted, | that Mare Island, New York and Norfolk navy-yards be furnished with a su: ply of deck planks. Tne necessity of eeping such pianks at the yards has been more than once demonstrated. This is particu- larly true of Mare- Island, where a large number of ships have recently arrived whose decks needed repairing. " In order to keep the planks dry the Chief Con- structor recommended that houses for their accommodation be erected at the several yards where they are to be stored. Civil Engineer £ndicott, who is acting as Chief of the Bureau of Yardsand Docks, has sent communications to the com- mandants of the several yards directing tuem to draw uY plans for such houses, with estimates of cost, and to send them immediately to the War Department, The department has approved the plans for the new caisson to be constructed for the Mare Island dock, and orders have been sent to the Mare Island yard direct- ing the department of construction there to build it. The old caisson will be re- tained in the dock until the new one is completed, so that there will be no neces. sity of placing the structure out of com- mission. Guy V. Henry of the United States army alo called. All of «these callers simply desired to pay their respects to the major. BRYAN ENTERS CHICAGD TOWN. Thousands Turn Out to See the Candidate From Nebraska. LISTEN TO HIS SPEECH. Plenty of Platitudes Intended Particularly to Please the People. SOME INCIDENTS OF THE TRIP At One Town the Engineer Cut Short the Talk, While McKinley Was Cheered at Another. CHICAGO, Iy, Aug. 8.—Sweltering in the sultry heat of the night, half a hun- dred tbousand men and women crowded the streets of the downtown districts to show by their presence and vociferous demonstration their welcome of William J. Bryan on his arrival in Chicago. It was an Indiscriminate outpouring of the common people, without any semblance of an orderly processicn from the depot to the botel. A programme of arrangements had been made. but it was not carried out. Thousands of members of the Democratic party, Cook County Silver Club, People’s party organizations, Cook Conunty Demo- cratic Central Committee, Cook County Democratic Marching Club, trades unions and citizens generalLy participated in the remarkable demonstration. The arrival of the party was scheduled for 7:20 at the Van Buren-street depot of the Rock Island road, but the train was twenty minutes late, and when it arrived the streets adjoining and the interior of the station were jammed with people patiently waiting for the coming of the nominee. As best they could the procession of organizations, illuminated by a carriage containing calcium lights, followed through the principal streets of the down- town districts, the thousands of people not connected with organizations drop- | ping into line with a good-natured mass. The balconies of the hotels and the win- dows of buildings on tlie route of the pro- | cession were filled with the cheering popu- lace. Led by the band of the First Regiment, with banners and flags flying, the prozes- sion passed through solid lines of men and women, who raised their voices lustily with cries of “Bryan” predominating in the oppressive air. Between State street and Wabash avenue on Monroe street every inch of space was occupied by those who_ wanted to hear as well as see the Presidencial nominee. The Clifton Hopse, where Mr. Bryan stayed during the Chi- cago Convention, 1s situated on Monroe street between Wabash avenue and State street, and this hotel was chosen by Mr. Bryan for his stoppmng place while here. Ten thousand people were crowded in this space, and every window of the Palmer House opposite, every window 'of the ad- joining buildings, and even the uncom- plated elevated railroad loop were taken possession of by the welcoming host. Looking out from the balcony of the Clifton House nothing was to be seen but a sea of human faces eagerly waiting for the first sight of the man from Lincoln. It was nearly an hour and a half from the time of arrival until the Bryan party appeared upon a small balcony of the Clifton House. Mr. Bryan rested a littie | while before he showed himself to the people and when his face was seen there arose a mighty and long-continued roar of voices, lasting several minutes. They were waiting and surging to and fro and almost fighting for the best places, only to see and hear Mr. Bryan. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan stood alongside William J. Strong while_the latter made an address of welcome. When Mr. Bryan, with his wife by his side, preparea to | speak there was a repetition of the peaf- | ening tumnult, making it impossible for him to be heard until he appealed for silence. Then he said: Ladies and gentlemen: You can hear if you will only be still. I have no language that will express the emotions that have been ex- cited by the most remarkable demonstration 1 have ever witnessed. In no other country is such @ sceme possible. In 1o other country can the %-aople take up & private citizen and make him their instrument to accomplish their will. When I see this assemblage to- night, and when I remember what the news- apers in this city say [loud and continued issing] I am reminded of what one of our friends said to me: *Nobody is on our side ex- cept the people.” As I look into the faces of these people and remember that our enemies call them a menace to free %o\'exumem, Isay who shall save the people from themselves? Tam proud to have in this campaign the sup- port of those who are proud to call themselves the common people. 11 was behind the great trusts and combi- nations I know Iwould no sooner take my seat thgn they would demand that I should use my:-power to rob the people. [Great ap- plause.] But having rather the support of the great toiling masses, I know when they give The their ballot they will unite in saying, Do your duty and we have our reward, These and at Mitcheliville, a number of people assembled to see and cheer bim. General J. B. Weaver, who accompanied Mr. Bryan from Des Moines to Newton, sore- sented the nominee to the people ot Col- fax, his home. A large gathering assem- bled as Mr. Bryan began to address them. Unfortunately for the remarks which Mr. Bryan intended to deliver they were cut short by the engineer, who pulled the throttle and started the train according to schedule. This is what he managed to say: Ladies and gentlemen: I am very glad to greet the people who live at General Weaver's home. He was a pioneer in this work and was talking for free silver long before it had come 1o the attention of a great many of us. And I never think of one of these pioneers who blazes out the way, and think of the abuse generally heaped upon the pioneer, without thinking of what somebody said a year or so 2go, that when one saw & thing he was called a fanatic; when a great many saw it he be- came an enthusiast; when everybody saw it fe became & hero, [Laughter and great cheer- ng.] Another big crowd turned out at New- ton, where a Populist _conference is being held to-day. ’Y‘ha Newton people were very full of enthusiasm and succeeded in getiing a brief speech from Mr. Bryan. He said: Ladies and gentlemen: I mfhfl to see you, and I believe this is Newton. IfIam notmis- taken your town bears the name of a man who is given credit for stating the law of gravita- tion, Some of the laws of finance—I may say all the laws of finance—are a8 certain in their positions and ax irresistible in their forces as the law of gravitation. If you throw a stone in the air, you say it will come down. Why? Because it is drawn toward the center of the earth. The law upon which we base our fight is as sure as Phat. 1f we have a gold standard, prices will go down. [Great cheering.] Kellogg also turned out its quota of en- thusiasts. Grinnell gave Bryan a lively reception. The nominee’s train remained at the station fifteen minutes, and this gave Mr. Bryan a chance to respond to the demand for a speech without the ne- cessity for cutting it short to fit the schedule. 10WA CITY, Iowa, Aug.8.—The train bearing Candidate Bryan reached lowa Civy at 10:30 o’clock. Ti.e railway station was packed and Mr. Bryan received an en- thusiastic greeting. e made a brief ad- dress. Brooklyn had a large audienceand secured a speech. Mr. Bryan was pre- sented by Major J. H. Tucker, the Rock Island agent there. ‘WEST LIBERTY, Iowa, Aug. 8.—Most of the great crowd at Iowa City were gathered at a point on the platform socme distance from where Mr. Bryan’s car halted. When it was learned that he was in the rear coach a rush was made in that direction, and 1n a minute men, women and children were struggling and stream- ingina confused mass. So terrible was the crush that several children were nearly suffocated, and during the time Mr, Bryan was speaking there was a constant shriek- ing and shoutinil from the frightened spectators: Said Mr. Bryan: Ladies end gentlemen:' 1 have known of Towa City always 85 a college town, and as 1 have lived, ever since 1 entered college, in a .| college town, I appreciate the advantages which such towns offer. I have also known of your towa because very early in my residence in Nebraska it was my good fortune to speak from the same platform with your townsman, Judge Fairall, and we have meintained our acquaintance eversince. [Great cheering as the train started.] Between Iowa City and West Liberty a stop was made at Lowney, where Mr. Bryan received more cheers. Five hun- dred people received the nominee here when the train rolled in at 11:20 A. M. A stop of twenty minutes was made for din- ner and Mr. Bryan went immediately to the station dining-room. DAVENPORT, Iowa, Aug. 8.—During the time Mr. Bryan was at dinner at Low- ney he was serenaded by the band, and on his reapoearance he responded happily to cries for a speech. At Ailsa, where the train halted a min- ute, the hundred people there shouted for McKinley and Bryan with equal em- phasis. At Stockton and at Walcott the prepara- tions that had been made to receive the nominee properly were spoiled by the de- parture of the train before Bryan’s where- abouts were discovered. Davenport was reached at 1 o'clock. CHICAGO, IrL., Aug. 8.—Magnificent receptions were given Mr, Bryan at Daven- fort, Towa, Rock Island, ill., and Moline, 1l. These three cities, with their com- bined population of 70,00C, are situated so closely together as to be practically one, and the three speeches Mr. Bryan made in the trio of towns were delivered in such rapid succession that the nominee was almost exhausted when the Moline speech was finished. At the Davenport station fully 4000 people were gathered, pushing, jostling and crowding in an endeavor to get near the Bryan train. When Mr. Bryan ap- peared on the rear platform, accompanied by the members of a local reception com- mittee who had met him at Iowa Cuty, a mighty shout went up, a brass band played and the 200 members of the Bryan Club yelled with frantic vehemence. The train remained at Davenport five minutes only, but it was a lively five minutes for Mr. Bryan and his audieace. After the cheering had ceased he said: They say this is a town that believes in gold; if so I want you to tell the people that we will do even better, for we beiieve in both gold and silver. [Cheers.] I promised myself that I would not do any falking on ‘the road, but the presence of so many_enthusiastic per- sons is a temptation which I am not able to withstand. 1 don’t know whether I can come back or not, because it is a large country, and 1¢ is go- ing to take & good while to get over it, but if the shoutings that I hear there are an indica- tion of your feelings I do not think it will be necessary for me to come back here. [Cheers,] I have promised that I would not make any appointment until election is over, but I wiil break that promise and appoint each one of you a missionary to go and work until election day. [Cheers.] Followed by more speaking the train drew out from Davenport across the Mis- sissipi into Illinois, the nominee’s native State. Rock Island was ready for him with a band and a great collection of her Enpulntion, male and female. When Mr. ryan s speech was concluded the 2000 or more people in' the assemblage made a mad rush to shake Mr. Bryan’s hand, and those who could get near enough, but did not succeed, seemed just as happy to shake hands with Mrs. Bryan. are the people who want no favors from - the Government; who want equal rights and spe- cial privileges for none. [Applause. Iam glad to have the support of these peo- ple, for 1 know they would risk their lives to save their country and fellow-citizens. I am simply on my way from my Western home to the great metropolis of the Nation to accept the nomination given me in this citya few weeks ago. Iam glad to take to them your greetings. I can tell them you are their friends, and that you will help them to save themseives from the domination of European ilmmhge under which they have been suffer- ng. Mr. Bryan guoted from Emerson toillus- trate the enduring foundation of the Na- tion, and closed by saying: 1 gratefully accept your greetings, and in the words of Abraham zincoln say, “The peo- ple_of the South and North are ready te r:in with the people of the East in saying that this Government of the people b);l the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” I thank you for your attention. A whirte banner with a golden crown of thorns and a cross illustrative of Mr. Bryan’s famous epigram, and a blue ban- ner with the words ''Our_Next President, the Boy Orator of the Platte, William J. Bryan,” was presented to Mr. Bryan. A boy sang a Bryan campaign song from the palcony, and after calling in vain for *'Sil- ver Dick” Bland, who did not attend the demonstration, the thousands slowly dis- persed. [) P MAKES PLENTY OF SPEECHES. Bryan Talks to All Kinds of People During the Trip to Chicago. GRINNELL, Towa, Aug. 8.—Although the hour when Mr. Bryan departea from Des Moines was sufficiently early to quell interest and enthusiasm in most people quite a crowd had gathered at the railway station. They cheered as the train drew out. A large crowd gathered to see the Democratic candidate at Colfax, twenty- three miles from Des Moines, which was reached just before 8 o’clock. At Altoona, eleven miles from Des ll(oinu, where the first stop was made, A big bunch of roses had been thrust into Mrs. Bryan’s hand, and these she began to distribute to the pushing, strug- glgzg enthusiastic crowd. This caused the scramble to become wilder and it was in rogress when the train drew ont. When gfir. Bryan had a chance to speak he said : Ladles and gentlemen: It gives me a great deal of pleasure to find s0 many people here awaiting our return 1o the State in which we were both born. I would feel very badly, in- eed, if in Illinois there should be less cordial support than in_the State where we now live, 1t gratifies us, therefore, t0 mee: the citizens of our former State, and see them manifest the interest in the result of thiselection. The rinciples represented in the Chicago vlat- form will be presented from the stump in every State in this Union from Maine to California, [Alppllule.] 'here is not a State which we are willing to concede to the eneny, because we believe that in a great struggle for financial independence the citizens of all of the States will stand up for American institutions and American rights. l;e'l‘remndoul eheerlngi] A few days ago the Democratic candidate for Governor of this State passed through our city on his way to the mountains to take & much needed rest. 1If you will give to the electoral ticket of this State as large & vote as I know you will give to our candidate for Governor, John P. Altgeld fiond cheers], we shall be satisfied. [Cheers and applause.} At Moline the local reception committee conducted Mr. and Mrs. Bryan to a truck about fifty yards from the train, which they reached after a hard tussle with the bundreds of struggling people to get near to the big figurein the white hat, Witn perspiration streaming from his brow, his collar wilted and his black alpaca coat all awry, Mr. Bryan made a short speech in tones seemingly more earnest than he had employed elsewhere during the day. He said: 1 am very much gratified to find th 16 srenled (0w RaNTacturing toms o bos so large a proportion of the population are what are known as laboring men. If our cause does not benefit those who toil, then we have no right to ask for itsadoprion Iglth- American ople, because no ich does not in ge%ozinnlu benefit the producers of wealth, the men who bring permanent prosperity to the xoph of this country. Ibelieve with all my heart that the restora, licy whi tion of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio oi 16 to 1. without waiting for the aid or consent of m{ other nation on earth, will be of benefit to al. the common people of the United States. [Cheers.] And when our opponents come and speak 10 the laboring men and try to warn tnem against the restoration of silver, I want the laboring men to submit this guesticn to them that they let the laboring men them- selves tell what is good for them and not have others speak for them. [Cheers.] A petition was filed in Congress a little more than a year 2go signed by the leaders of all the labor organizations of prominence in the United States, and that petition, aiter describing the evil effects of demoneilzation, asked for the restoration-of goid and silver at 16 to 1. Iwould be willing to submit this guestion to the laboring men themselves, but I am not willing to submit to lhoss’})eople who say that iree coinage would be good for them, but that they are not willing to be benefited for fear the laboring man will suffer. [Applause and laughter.] AllIask of you is thatyou study this question, and*when you make up your minds what ought to be done, go and do it, remembering that in the United States the bal- lot is given to you for your own use, for your own protection, and that no man can tell you how you shall use it. [Applause.] There were people who cheered at East Moline, Carbon Cliff and Colona, and Genesee nfanaged to put 8 maximum of enthusiasm into the minimym of time allowed Mr. Bryan there by the train schedule. The crowd wanted a speech, and Mr. Bryan thanked them for the in- terest manifested, and advised them to keep it growing until November. At every small station where the train stopped crowds of from 50 to 200 were gathered, and every one wanted to geta glimpse of Mr. Bryan. Half a dozen old soldiers were foremost in the demonstra- tration at Bureaun, which was very cordial. The train reached the junction at 3:35 o’clock, and Mr. Bryan gratified his audi- ence by a few remarks. At Spring Valley an interesting feature of the reception was the presence of a number of begrimed coal-miners, with smoky lamps in their hats. Here one of ceived om his trip was given. 5 La Salle, a large manufacturing town, was hysterically enthusiastic in her greet- ing. Mr. Bryan said: Ladies and gentlemen: I pelieve this is one of the strong Democratic counties of the State. [Great applavse.] Will you go back on your record this fail?” [Loud cheering and cries of “No.”] 1 want to say to you that I do not believe that we have ever madein this country a more thoroughly Democratic platform than that which was adopted at Chicago at the Democratic convention. It sets forth the policies of the Democratic party and I believe these policies will commend themselves to the. judgment of the great common people. Gen- tlemen, if you in this county will give the electoral ticket as large a vote as I know you will give your candidate for Governor, John P, Aligeld [loud applause] we shall be satisfied. [Great cheeflng.f The home of Comptroller Eckels,Ottawa, was hearty in its welcome. More than 1000 people formed ti.e audience. Mr. Bryan said: We are entering upon a campaign in which it seems that all of the people are going to take part. Where old leaders have gone back upon their records and have deserted the cause in which the people believe new leaders have come to the front, and it illustrates, I think, as well as any experience we have had, the cnracl ty of our people for sell-government. In this campaign there is going to be one paramount issue, and that is the money ques- tion. The Repubiican platform declares in favor of the maintenance of the gold standard until foreign nations take pity upon our con- dition and come to our rescue. [Cheers.] The Democratic platform d res i1s un- ec alterable opposition to the gold standard and declares in favor of the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consentof any other nation. [Loud cheers.] It is not diffi- cult for you to cetermine on which to stand. Remember that the Repubiicans do not say that the gold standard is & good thing. The misery that has cursed every country where it has béen tried proclamms that it is not good and no partyin this country has everdefended it. The Republican party, without daring to sey that it is good, dares 10 say that the Amer- ican people must suffer from it until some other governments will help us to get rid of it. We appeal to & people capable ot governing themselves end ask them to say whether they wiil determine their own financial ‘mucy for their own benefit or submit to a policy which NEW TO-DAY—CLOTHING. THE BALL the heartiest welcomes Mr. Bryan has re- | other nations think we oughi to eudure. [Cheers.] [ am w}!\iug 10 rest the question there. ng continued cheering.] The demonstration at Joliet was one of the greatest given Bryan since he leit Lincoln. It is estimated that 5000 people were there, and they were wild to shake Bryan’s hand, recklessly taking chances on life in the suffocatin, {;m. he scene approached a Eamc, and Mr. Bryan finally refused to shake hands with more people. Mr. Bryan made a short address, saying in part: “Our opponents sometimes say that we do not know what 16 to 1 means; but I want you to let them understand that it has one meaning, and that is that every one silver man is to get sixteen others to vote with him in November. [Applause.] That is one meaningof 16to1 that they ‘will be interested in learning during the campaign.” The members of the Chicago reception committee met Mr. Bryan at Joliet and accompanied him to Chicago. The ran to Chicago, which was reached at 7:20, was made without further incident. THERE IS STRIFE AHEAD, Opposition to the Adoption of the Party Name by Gold Democrats. Steps Will Be Taken to Prevent In- dependent Candidates From Get- ting on the Ticket. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 8.—A fight will grow out of the adoption by the gold ! Democrats of the name of the old party organization. It the convention meeting in Indianapolis September 2 nominates an independent ticket, holding to the party name, as the call for the convention has done, the Democratic National Com- mittee will take steps to prevent the inde- pendent candidates from getting on the ticket. It is said at Democratic headquarters that the Indianapols conference had no right to adopt the name of the National Democratic party. The regularity of the primaries and of the National Democratic convention held in Chicago was never, they say, disputed in any way, and there is absolutely no warrant for a self- constituted committee to make use of the party name. Itis presamed that this is done to evade the law in certain States, which will not permit irregular nomina- tions to be placed on the State ticker. If an attempt is made to put in the field a set of independent electors, calling them Democratic electors, an injunction will e applied for to prevent the use of this party name and a hard fight in the courts of many States may follow. The idem of an independent nomination being made by the gold Democrats is generally gratifying .to the Bryan Demo- crats, but they do not intend to have the nomination made in the name of the old party. Their belief is that an independent party will help Bryan if it amounts to anything at all, inasmuch as some voters would probably have to vote for McKinley if there was no one but McKinley and Bryan to choose beiween.
