S The Stockton crew of the Gianis isin training now for the senior barge event, and hopes to secure the State champion- ship on the morning of the 9th of Septem- ber. The San Francisco crews are also in training for the race, and it wiil_be one of the closest ever seen in California. The Btockton men are determined to wrest the championship from the heretofore victe- rious South End crew of San Francisco, and are especially anxious to meet the crackajacks of that City, as the Soutb- enders and all others in the senior ciussl failed to come here on tue 4th of July to compete against them. There will be no lack of entries for this event, as all of the San Francisco crews have signified their intention of competing. 0 The senior single sculls are also exciting much interest. On July 4 Duplissea bested McCausland, who claimed the Pacific Coast championship. This year both will have a hard battle to defeat A. G. Brown of Stockton, who is in “active training for the sin_les.

There will be four principal floats in the water pageant, and they will be very elaborate. Besides thesethere will be seven smallerones. Most of the money at the disposal of the committee will be expendeu on light. McLeod’s Lake will be the principal scene of the water carnival. Itisan ideal spot for an affair of this kind and is situ- ated in the center of the city. On_ ene side is a fringe of willows, which will be filled with hundreds of Japanese lanterns. The effect will be as beautiful as fairy- land. Last year at the Fourth of July carnival seats were arranged on the northern bank of the lake and sold at a high premium. This year there will be nothing of the john Kertiek, Chairman of the Reception Committee at Stockton. kind, and all may freely see the display upon the water. Ou the southern bank of the lake a platform will be built and there the rockets and bombs will be sent into the clear nigbt air, for Stockton always has perfect nights ' m September. At Goodwater Grove on Beptember 8 and 10 there will be baseball games be- tween teams picked from the best players, in California. On the afternoon of Admis- sion day there will be a State champion- ship meet of cyclers. Already a number of the flyers are here to train for the races. Oscar Osen of San Jose was the first to ar- rive and will enter in all the professional events. The track will be put in the pink of condition and some records will prob- ably be lowered. Great pains has been taken by the sub- committee having charge of this branch of the work to provide accommodations for the visiting parlors ana for individuals who have requested that rooms’be secured for them. Following is a list of the locations secured as headquarters for the various visiting parlors: Stanford Parlor, No. 76, of San Francisco, and Oakland Parlor, No. 50, Masonic Music Hall; National Parlor, No. 118, of Ban Francisco, Jory's Hall; Piedmont Parlor, No. 120, of Oskland, twenty-six; Sacramento Parior No. 3 will bring the Militant band and Rincon Par- lor No. 72 of San Francisco a drum corps; South S8an Francisco Parlor No. 157 will also be on hand with a drum corps and has secured accommodations for twenty- five members.

Church, grand trustee; Henry Lunstedt, grand secretary; Belle W. Conrad, grand vice-president, an Carrie R. Durham, past grand presiden of the Native Daughters. The electrical display here will not equal that at Sacramento last year, but in the way of entertainment the visitors will be as well or even better pleased than they were with the hospitality of the Capital City Natives. A reception committee composed of representatives of the Native Daughters of Tracy and Stockton and of the Native Sons of Lodi, Tracy and Stock- ton has been appointed to look after their weliare. The Supervisors have allotted three large rooms on the third floor of the courthouse to the Native Sons to be used as headquarters during the celebration. These have been tastefully decorated by the Native Daughters, and here the re- ception committee will keep oren house during the three days’ celebration. The Native Daughters have provided for all the refreshments that are to_be served at headquarters. A number of sub-com- mittees have been appointed to work under the direction of the reception com- mittee. A citizens’ recevtion committee will as- sist the Native Sons and Daughters in en- tertaining the visiting Natives. It is composed of: Mayor H. N. Baggs, J. M. Welsh, A. W.

They car- ried out the idea of holding a moonlight picnic at Goodwater Grove last month and the affair was such a success, socially as well as financially, that the picnic will be repeated on the 20th instant. Among the chief workers in Joaquin Parlor are ifiss Ida %erry, Mrs. Lena Mills, Mrs. John W. Willy, Miss Ida Safferhill and Miss Zetta Kohlberg. The last named is one of Stockton’s famed beauties, and she has been untiring in her efforts to make the coming picnic a success. Last night an eppropriation was made to bring the militia companies here from Merced and Modesto. An entertainment in the lhlfi. of a minstrel show by local talent was being arranged to provide funds for this purpose, but now the proceeds wili be turned over to the carnival committee, “The minstrels will show at the Yosemite ‘fneater on September 2 and the pro- gramme as arranged is sure to draw a crowded house.

ASKED TO PUBLICLY RETRACT. Dust Thrown to Cover the Main Issues Relating to the Boy Orator’s Silver Speeches. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 17.—This afternoon Senator W. M. Stewart gave out for publication a reply to Senator Thurston’s letter to him, published in the papers this morning, regarding the charge that Mr. Bryan had been a paid lecturer in the employ of silver mine-owners. The letter quotes Thurston’s statement that he had not assailed Bryan’'s character in any instance or by any word, and Stewart asks Thurston how he can reconcile that statement with the following langdage used by him in the speech which gave rise to the contest: “The proprietors of the big bonanzas have fonnd it profitable to keep a large number of lecturers and other spokesmen on the road preaching to the people. Among the many who have thus been employed and carried on the payrolls of the big bonanzas for a number of years is William J. Bryan of Nebraska, a paid agent and spokesman of the free-silver letter.” The combine then says: “Your disclaimerin connection with the foregoing requires explanation, provided you consider your reputation for truth and veracity valuable. But your explana- tion that you ‘wounld be the last man to assail the character of Mr. Bryan’ reflects either upon your yeracity or vour knowl- edge of the law)of libel. If youarea lawyer, and the fact thac you have been retained by the Union Pacific Railroad for 80 many years, indicates that you are use- ful in some way to that institation,.you ought to know that repeating a siander or libel is equally as slanderous or libelous as the original matter. *“You assume that you are not assailing Mr. Bryan when you quote what irrespon- sible newspapers say of him and giving to such statements all the cradit your high official position can confer. You belittle your understanding when you say it is the duty of Mr. Bryan to enter into personal controversy with avery hireling newspaper scribbler who 1s employed to slander or defame him. *The people understand the aims of ‘partisan newspapers and make proper al- lowances for their assertions, but when you ciothe their slanders with your official robes it is a lame and cowardly defense on your part to protect yourself by skulking behind miserable newspaper scribblers. I called your attention to the injury of your charge, not the charge of newspapers, which I have again quoted for the purpose of calling your attention to the charge you made, supposiug your were an honor- able man and would retract the charges at once if you were unable to prove them. Instead of doing so you repeat other slan- ders against Mr. Bryan, myself, Senator Sharon, Governor Stanford and others, which, if true, do not prove your charge against Mr. Bryan. I shall not reiterate in kind and quote what venal newspapers or even respectable men eay of you, because it is not perti- nent to the issue. The issue is whether you have unjustly and without truth as- sailed the character of Mr. Bryan. You cannot avoid that issue by pretending that you only repeated a falsehood which somebody else originated. Do you fear the repealing of a falsehood Tepeated to irresponsible papers will impair your influence in that cause you are advocat- ing? You must remember, my dear Sena- tor, that there is a sense of public justice which is outraged by slander and livel which you cannot justify by claiming you have a right to repeat it because you had not the courage to originate it. If you have no case against Mr. Bryan, which you have already virtually admitted by citing incompetent hearsay evidence to prove your charges, your slanders will be barmless so far as he is concerned; but can yvou afford to be published to the world as a peddler of slanders which you cannot prove? If you have any friends who supposed that you were both honest and brave they will be sorely disappointed if you fail to frankly avow your error and retract your slanders, or prove the truth of your charges which I have quoted above. Yours vevV respectfully, TLLIAM M. STEWART.” WPELTONL THUE DEMOCAATS [ Continued from First Page.] circulation, injuring 1f not destroying do- mestic trade and foreign commerce. While professing to advocate a policy of bi- metallism, it censures the present Democratic administration for maintaining the parity of gold and silver. It proposes to reduce this country to acondition of silver monometal- lism, with f{ts vacillating and unreliable standard of values, and tends to bring the farmer, the wage-earner and the salaried man o the wretched condition of the same classes in countries in which the silver standard pre- vails, and where the rewards of agriculture and labor are lower than anywhere in the world. With what seems to be a deliberate attempt to gllllelfl the people, it asserts that by the coinage act of 1873 the United Btates aban- doned the use of silver as money, and that gold has appreciated and commodities fallen in price solety by reason of this legislation. It ignores the fact that the prices of commodities have fallen because of the enlarged use of labor-saving machinery, increased production and resulting competition. Itsuppresses the {fact that a potent reason for the decline in the price of silver has been the discovery of new and cheeply worked mines, resulting in an increase in its production. Instead of recog- nizing these facts, it appeals to the prejudice of the people. It demands the free coinage of silver at the arbitrary and fictitious ratio of 16 to 1, although the ratio in the world’s market is as 32 to 1, and as no other experience nor reason warrants the belief that the commercial ratio between the metals can be reduced by the action’ of this Government to any ratio ever approxi- mating that proposed ; threatensin certain con- tingencies to increase to an unlimited act the volume of legal-tenders issued by tbe Federal Government, the ultimate effect of which would be to force the withdrawal of all coln from circulation and to compel public and private business to be transacted in depre- ciated paper currency, constantly fluctuating in value, and to invite the ruin and confusion that have always followed the adoption of such a policy. Its declarations invite and have almost pro- duced a financial panic, and many of its pro- ponents announce to accomplish this purpose they are prepared to involve their country ins disaster comparable to mothing in its history save the calamity of civil war. It assailsthe independence of the judiciary by a covert threat to reorganize the courts whenever their decisions contrayene the decreesof the party caucus, It seeks to allure office-seekers and spoilsmen 1o its support by attacking the existing clvil-serviee laws whick good men of all parties have labored solong lo establish and to extena to all departments of the public service. The Chicago convention having thus de- parted from the recognized Democratic faith and promulgated doctrines new and strange to the Democracy, all Democrats are absolved from obligation to support its programme. More than this, as the doctrines announced are destructive to National honor and privatg obligation, and tend to create sect and class distinctions and engender discord and strife among the people, ail good citizens of the Re- public are bound to repuaiate them and exert every lawful means to insure the deieat of the candidates that represent these false doc- trines. Democrats are told that they must accept the platform enunciated and ticket nominated &t Chicago because submission to the will of the majority is a fundamental principle of Democracy. 1t is true that when a majority of the people have expressed thefr willdta legal election the will of such majority must be respected and obeyed. This is essential to the peace and existence of the Nation. Butit is a monstrous perversion of this doctrine o apuly it to a political party which exists only by virtue of a common voluntary assent to its principles. When & Democratic convention departstrom the principles of the party no Democrat re- mains under any moral obligation to support its action, nor is there any tradition of the party that requires him to do so. On the con- trary, it is evidence of moral weakness for any man to vote to enforce policies which, in his opinion, are inimical to the welfare of the peo- Ple or to the integrity of the Nation. The duty of the hour is to stand steadfast in the defense of our ancient faith. In this crisis there is at stake more than a possibility of tem- porary victory. The honor and perpetuity of the Democratic party are at stake. A political organization that is untrue to its principles, history and traditions is disgraced and dis- honored. The existence of our great historical party, that has withstood the assaults of every foe, is threatened by reason of the recreancy of many of its members. That this party, as we have known it, may not aie, let the faith- ful of years rally around its historic banner, reform its broken lines and with abiding faith in the triumph of its principles unite to re- store the name Democrat to its former mean- ing and proud distinction, - Tothis end we request all Democrats wWho are opposed to the platform adopted and can- didates nominated at Chicago to organize in their several States and to send representa- tives to the convention of the National Demo- cratic party, to be held at Indianapolis on Wednesday, September 2, 1896, in aceordance with the call heretofors issued by the National Commiitee.

C., Aug. 17.—An er- roneous impression exists that the Popu- list committee meeting called for to-mor- row is one of the National Committee’s, when it is simply & meeting of the execu- tive committee, consisting of nine mem- bers, as follows: Marion Butler of North Carolina, chairman; M. C. Rankin of In- diana, treasurer; J. A. Edgerton of Ne- braska, secretary; George F. Washburn of Massachusetts, H. E. Reed of Georgia, Dr. C. F. Taylor of Pennsylvania, J. R. Sovereign of Arkansas, John W. Breiden- thal of Kansas, John 8. Dore of California. Messrs. Edgerton, Reed and Washburn are already here. The principal business will be the selec- tion of National headquarters and the mapping out of a plan of campaign. It may be determined to call a meeting of the full National Committee for some future date to consider matters over which the executive commitiee has no jgrisdic- tion. The executive committee cali take no action looking to the removal of Mr. ‘Watson as a Vice-Presidential candidate and the substitution of Mr. Sewall, having no authority in the premises. The Na- tional Committee alone could take any deflnite action in the matter. No prediction can be made asto the selection of headquarters. The Eastern and Southern members of the executive committee are said to favor Washington, while the Western men are favorably ais- posed toward Chicago, the opinion in each instance being based on accessibility of the point. Five of the nine members live nearer Chicago than Washington. Committeeman Reed of Brunswick, Ga., says that his State is all right as far as the Populists are concerned. Thereis no danger of Mr. Watson being witbdrawn, as he is their candidate and will continue to be so. Mr. Reed expresses great satisfaction at the manner in which Mr. Watson replied to Chairman Jones, to the effect that the Populists should form a combination with the negroes, as they belonged together. ‘While not knowing whether the chairman had intended these sentiments for publi- cation, he felt inclined to the belief that they fairly representea his opinion. Mr. Butler is not expected to reach here before to-morrow, just in time to attend the committee meeting. The Republican committee is preparing extracts from all of Mr. Bryan’s free-trade speeches delivered while a member of the House, and will issue them as a campaign document. A large number of requests have already been made for the publica- tion, Several letters received state that the speeches will prevent many of those believing in free silver from voting for Bryan if it can be demonstrated that he favors absclute free trade. The Democratic headquarters were de- serted to-day, none of the officials having retarned from their Sunday outings. ARG, - Demoorats Who Favor Fusion.

LEVEE ON A STEAMBOAT Several Passengers Received by the Weary Orator of the Platte Region. \ ONE SPEECH AT A STATION. Interrupted by a Question That Was Rather Difficuit to Frankly Answer. TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 17.—Wil- liam Jennings Bryan laughed this morn- ing when some ope suggested that his title be changed to ‘‘the Boy Orator of th Hudson.” The remark was apropos o the fact that Mr, Bryan made part of bis northward journey by mears of the Hud- son River dayboat Albany. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, Mr. Sewall and the members of John Brisben Walker’s family had an early breakfast at the Walker residence at Irvington. There were some uncertain- ties as to whether the Albany would stop at Irvington, and when it wes learned from the steamboat company that the depth of water was not sufficient to permit the vessel to make alanding Mr. Bryan, Mr. Sewall and the others of the party took a train to Yonkers to catch the Al- bany there. As they drove past the Cos- mopelitan (magazine) building on their way to the Irvington station they were cheered by the employes, and there was more cheering as the train pulled out. The train reached Yonkers at 9:35, and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and their friends went immediately to the Albany’s landing. The vessel had arrived, and, after good- bys to Mr. Sewall and Mr. Walker, the Fresidential nominee and Mrs. Bryan started at 9:45 on their trip up the Hud- son. Several hundred persons were on the boat, and many of these pressed around Mr. and Mrs., Bryan with hands out- stretched until the boat had started up stream. A stateroom was placed at the disposal of the candidate and his wife by the steamboat officials, and in this they received a number of the passengers. It was 1:20 p. M. when the Albany reached Poughkeepsie. Four hundred peo- ple were gathered on the wharf and a cheer was given as Mr. Bryan walked over the gangplank. The crowd followed Mr. Bryan to the Central station, where he was surrounded in the waiting- room and finally forced out on the plat- form. Here, mounted on a truck, he made a little speech, the first since his appear- ance at Madison-square Garden. He said: 1 am coming up here into this section of the State for a rest and therefore am not going to make any speech here. Ido not expect to be able to see you again and I take this opportu- nity of thanking you for the interest you are taking in the campaign. From reading some of the New York papers it would seem that there is no silver sentiment in New York, but the great daily papers are not able to suppress the sentiment of the masses of the people. [Cheers.] Ibelieve that this campaign will be characterized by more intense feeling than any in which we younger men have been e gaged. In'this campaign the peopleare thini 1ng, and when the J)eople think they decide, and when they decide they act. The so-called financiers think they have the right to use the pallot to pertect their interests, Why have not the rest of the people the right to use the ballot to protect their own interest? Here Mr. Bryan stopped, but in response to cries of **more” he asked: ‘Howmany of you have been studying the silver ques- tion? Hold up your hands.” A rumber of hands were raised. “Now let me ask each of you to consider this question.” A voice, interrupting—How are you for the working classes? Mr. Bryan—You take what I have said and what I have done and let the thinking people decide. [Applause]. Itis not for a candidate to tell yon how to vote. I have too much respect for the rights of individuals to attempt to tell any one how to vote. I cansimply defend the policies for which I stand and let the people choose between my opponent and myself. ButI desire you to find out what your duty is and to have the courage to do it. Mr. Bryan held a short reception and took the New York Centzal train for Tar< rytown at 1:50 P. m. The ride from Poughkeepsie to Tarry- town was short and was made 1n an or- dinary day coach. At Tarrytown, reached at 2:30, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were met by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Perrine, and after some of the twoscore people at the little station had shaken hands with them they were driven off by the Perrines to their bome at Upper Red Hook, six miles dis- tant. 54 g ks BRYAN IN SECLUSION. Makes Another Speech Before Beginning His Letter of Acceptance. UPPER RED HOOK, DutcrEss Counyy, N. Y., Aug. 17.—Here in this little village, away from the busy whirl of pouitics, Wil- liam J. Bryan has established himself for a week or ten days of quiet to enable him to compose his letter of acceptance. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan are the guests of Mr. Per- rine. Mrs. Perrine was Mrs. Bryan’s teacher at the Female Academy in Jack- sonville, IIL, the town where the Demo: cratic candidate also resiaed the principal part of his youth. The candidate and his wife reached Tarrytown this afternoon by train from Poughkeepsie, and with Mr. and Mrs. Perrine and T. W. Cuthbright, Mr. Bryan’s secretary, drove six miles through a beautiful farming country to the home of Mr. Perrine. To-night there was an outpouring of citizens from this place and neighboring villages to give him proper welcome, Party lines were not drawn in the recep- tion given Mr. and Mrs. Bryan by Mr. and Mrs. Perrine, and there were many Republicans at the gathering. Jacob El- seffer, a lawyer, introduced Mr. Bryan, who spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Speaking for Mrs. Bryan as well as for myself, Idesire to thank the gentleman who hasso graciously extended the welcome, and the people who support his word by their pres. ence. Itugives us great pleasure tocome here upon this occasion and renew an old-time scquaintance with one of our esteemed tizens. In reaching this spot we have passed up the river of which we have so often heard, but which until this visit we knew nothing. We have been impressed with the fact that this river and its surroundings are not only pleasing to the eyes of those who love beauty of scenery but are also pleasing to those who are interested in the historic scenes of revolutionary days. We shall remember with great delight this our first acquaintance with them. We are glad to fina our restin this quiet place among the people who exem- Plify the truth spoken by the wise men so many hundreds of years ago. When Solomon said he desired neither riches nor poverty he gave expression to a thought that we may well consider. In such a community as this we find an equality and fraternity, end we find people bound together in a iriend- ship that stands for al that is good and uplifting in the buman race. We are glad to come among you. We are glad to rest here for a few days from the weariness of the campaign, and we are pleased to know that you who live among these mountains where you can take a brosder view of thess earthly scenes are also, as citizens, able {o rise and take a broad view of our present life; that you, Republicans as well as Democrats, can lay aside for the moment all political thought and gather without respect to party affilia- tions to do honor to the office to which at this time I aspire. [Voice, “And you'll get it.”] I bave always lived among those who differ from me, and at all times I have found some of my best friends among those who could not agree with me on publie ques- tions. I expecttofind it that way this year, and in all the years to come, but I am glad the friendship, affection and love are strong enough to cross all lines and bind together all congenial spirits. I am glad, too, that you recognize that higher plane of citizenship in which each citizen, while firmly standing by that in which he believes and courageously upholding the cause which he espouses as best for his country, can at the same time ex- tend to all others that charity which he asks for himself. Iam glad thatas we struggle on with intense earnestness in carrying forward those policies which we believe are of vital im- portance we can still, 1ike brethren, stand side by side without feeling tnat there is in these contests anything which should draw forth personal animosity.. I thank you for your greeting and for this opportunity of acknowl- edging your acquaintance. Hugh J. Brady, chairman of the St. Louis Central Committee, met Mr. Bryan by accident on the steamer to-day and had dinner with bim. Mr, Erady says that Mr, Bryan told him that he will speak in St Louis between the 10th and 15th of September. In answer to a ques- tion as to whether he would make any re- ply to the speech to be delivered to-mor- row night by Hon. Bourke Cockran, Mr. Bryan said: “Mr. Cockran and I dis- cussed both the silver question and the in- come tax while in Congress. If he ad- vances any new arguments they can go to the country along with my speech of last week. I shall not return to New Yorkun- til the latter part of September, when I expect to speak. briefly in Brooklyn on my way to New England, and in Yew York on my way from New England.” PR T b PLANNING THE CAMPAIGN, Chairman Jones Disousses the Subject of Ways and Means. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 17.—For three hours to-day Senator Jones, chair- man of the Democratic National Commit- tee,"was closeted in an upper room with several Democrats discussing the subjeet of ways and means and the best method of conducting the campaign. - Those present were Mr. Johnson of Kansas, the newly appointed member of the campaign committee from that'State; Senator Bacon of Georgia; C.

Messrs. Mec- Lean of Ohio, Smalley of Vermont and Howell of Georgia, will be stationed in ‘Washington and the other members at Chicago.” The executive committee has not yet been agreed upon. It has also been set- tled that there will be no headquarters of any kind in New York. If Treasurer St. John finds it impossible to go to Chicago he will remain in New York. ‘While the headquarters of the National committee are to be located im Chicago, the real headquarters, it is thought, will be in this city. The naming of Chicago was, as one member expressed it, merely catering to sentiment. The main work will be done from this city. Although no official programme has been arranged it is unofficially announced that after Mr, Bryan speaks at Buffalo and Erie on the 26th and 29th inst., he will go direct to Lincoin and remain until after the first week in September. He will then go to St. Louis between the 7th and 10th of that month, when he will speak, thence going to Louisville. From that point his tentative itinerary includes Atlanta, portions of North Carolina, Richmond and Baltimore. He will arrive in the latter city some time between the 15th and the 20th of September, where he will be formally notified of his nomina- tion by thesilver party. Between Rich- mond and Baltimore it is expected he will speak at a meeting to he held in this city. After October 1 he will confine himself to the Midaie Western States of Ohio, In- diana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota.
