BRYAN. BEGINS HIS CAMPAIGN, Opens the Political Talk in Earnest at Madelin. ASES FOR BIMETALLISM. Says the United States Can Act Independently of Other Nations. ALSO PLEADS FOR FREE SILVER The American P:ople, Declares the Orator, Have a Right to Legis- late for Themselves. BARRYTOWN, N.Y., Aug. 22.—William J. Bryan opened up the political cam- paign in earnest to-day at Madelin, a town in Dutchess County. He delivered the first actusl campaign speech since his nomination. He said, among other things: We entering upon a campaign which ise remarkable one in many respects. Heretofore, atleast in the last twenty-five or thirty years, each party has gone into the campaign prac- tically solid, presenting & united front against the opposing party; but in this campaign there has been practically & bolt from every convention which has been called. This means that the people are not so willing as they have been to allow the platform of & party to control their elections. Men are thinking this year with more sarnestness and intensity than they have been thinking in recent years,and the result of this thinking will be manifested when it tomes to register the will of this great Nation, ind between that time and this hour we ex- pect to present to those who must act upon the yuestions the issues of this campaign. I beg fou to consider whether the great toiling masses of this Nation have not a right to make 1 business out of politics for once and protect their homes and their families from disaster. (Applause.} I'have not beenin the State of New York (ong; 1 have notmet many of your people, wnd yot in theshort time that I have been tere I have met enough Republicans who said ithey were going to vote our ticket to make up or every Democrat that ever deserted us, and wve welcome the coming guests as we speed ihose who are parting. [Applause.] 1t is hollow mockery to grant to the people « right in your constitution and then deny m the privilege of exercising it Iassert at the people of the United States, those who produce wealth, as well as those who exchange t, have sufficient patriotism and sufficient in- leliigence to sit in judgment upon cvery ques- don which has arisen or will arisz, no matter 10w long our Government msy [Ap- slause.] My friends, I want you to remember that in he discussion of this money question there wre certain fundamental principles, and when rou understand these principles you under- itand the money question. Iwas out in a por- ion of the country where they irrigateona arge scale and I found enormous plants, and 1 investigating this the thought occurred to ne what principle underlles the subject of irri- ration? Ii 1s that water runs down hill? When you understand that water runs down \ll all you have to do is to dig a ditch with a lant and you can carry water wherever you vant it. Bo it is with the money question. fou have got to find out the principles which inderlie the subject, and when you under- tand them vou understand the money ques- lon. What is the principle that underlies it 11?7 It is the law of supply and demand, rhich applies to money as to everything else. fou know that if the world’s crop next year of certain article is verymuch greater than the rop this year that that article will fall in wice; if the cfop is much smaller than this ear that it will rise in price. You know that he law of supply and demand reachesand ontrols all sorts of property. It reaches and ontrols money as wellas other forms of prop- rty. The establishing of gold as a sole unitof alue throughout the world and the destruc- fon of silver as a standard money means that ou shall destroy the value of all property ex- ept money and investments that call for a xed amount in money. It means that you will give to these invest- 1ents and to this torm of property—money— n advantage over every other form of prop- rty. When you understand the effect of the olicy, aud then understand that the desire for ¢ 1s manifested most among those who hold he fixea investments or trade in money, I bink you will come to the conclusion that I ave come to—that the fact that the gold tandard is & good thing for them is the prin- Ipal reason why they are in favor of a gold tandard. [Applause.] Now, my friends, when you make up your 1inds that the gold standard is a baa thing, ben the only question you have to consider is, ow can you get rid of it? They can raise ob- sctions to the plan which we propose, but I rant to suggest that you are interested not so wuch in knowing the objections to our plan & in knowing what plans they have to relieve be condition. Why don’t they propose something? It is ecause they do not know what ought to be one. If so they are poor people to lead you ut of bondage. [Laughter.] Is it because aey know and will not tell? If so they have ot the candor that ought to be possessed by sose who would redeem the people from their affering and distress. [Applause.] My friends, continued Mr. Bryan, I want.you sstudy this money question for yoursel od I want you to understand if bimetallism 1.to be restored the United States must take be lead. [Applause.] We have waited for 1076 than twenty years to have the benerits £ bimetallism brought to us by those whose iterests are opposed to ours. I assert that the American people mot only ave the right but they have the ability to igislate for themselyes on every question, no wstter what other nations think about it. long applause.] If we need relieffrom the gold standard we 1ust secure it for ourselves. And if we must Jeare this relief for ourselves, rou can only tcare it through a party whith belleves in ke restoration of the free and unlimited coin- pe of gold and silver at the present legal ratio 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or con- mt of any other nation, [Prolonged applause od three cheers.] Other nations may protect reir people, as they should; but our Nation sthe only nation that can protect the Ameri. in people. [Applause. lOTr OPPOSEN BY CLEVELAND, Mititude of the Iresident Toward the Sound Money Convention. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Aug. 22.—Chair- 1an Bynum of the National Democratic gecutive committee this morning set at 18t the rumor that President Cleveland ad written him a letter in which he op- osed the idea of putting a National Dem- sratic ticket in the field and urged the tdorsement of McKinley. Mr. Bynum tids ‘‘Any 1umor to the effect that Mr. Cleve- md has written to me or basin any way dicated any indisposition toward the omination of a ticket is utterly without mndation, Furthermore, this conven- on will, without any manner of doubt, ominate a Democratic candidate for resident and Vice-President upon a Dem- sratic platform, The delegates have been elecied and are being elected under a call contemplating that purpose, and every scrap of information or communication that we have indicates that this will be Concerning the attitude of President Cleveland toward the movement, Secre- tary Wilson this afternoon made the fol- lowing statement of the view taken at headquarters: *Mr, Cleveland bas never given any ex- pression to an opinion as far as the leaders of the sound money movement know con- cerning the convention at Indianapolis. They don’t believe that any one is author- ized to speak for the President. But cer- tainly there has been no antagonism from Mr. Cleveland or his friends and any one observing the situation can plainly see that Senator Vilas, Senator Caffery, Sena- tor Palmer, Senator Gray and such gentle- men are, to put it mildly, not unfriendly to Mr. Cleveland. In fact, they are closely identified with him. They are all in favor of a third ticket. Why should not Mr. Cleveland be friendly toward the sound money movement? The Chicago platiorm seeks to impeach his personal integrity and repudiates his political administra- tion, and Governor Stone in his Madison- square Garden speech saw fit to denounce him as a traitor. The newspapers that are behind Mr. Bryan are steadily engaged in the same kind of work. Mr. Cleveland and his friends are not of the makeup that kisses the hand that smites them.”” The New York people to-day engaged quarters at the Bates House for a full dele- gation of seventy-two members and fifty extra people. The Maryland people also wired for quarters to-day. Their delega- tion will be headed by ex-Governor Wil- liam Pinckney Whyte and ex-Congress- man Isador Raynor. Telegrams were received from North Carolina, South Caro- lina and New Mexico stating that arrange- ments have been made for State conven- tions and the selection of full delegations. Applications for tickets tothe conven- tion are pouring in upon the executive committee in such numbers as to indicate a much larger attendance of spectators than was anticipated, and it now seems certain that the hotel capacity of the city will be fully tested. MAY BTART Silver Demoorats Anxious io Have an Organ in Chiocago. CHICAGO, Irin., Aug. 22.—The day at Democratic National headquarters was ! largely one of preparation for beginning the political work next week. Chairman Jones kept secluded in his room and saw only a few of the many callers while he was in the hotel. Among them werea delegation from Indiana consisting of Sterling R. Holt, chairman of the State committee; ex-Congreseman A. W. Lamb and Judge McNutt. To a reporter for the United Associated Press Mr. Holt said: “We will carry Indiana for Bryan by 40,000. The gold movement in our State is a great benefit to us. Itis putting our people in line, and for every Democrat we lose by it we gain ten Republican silver votes.” The aay the National committeemen arrived in Chicago Chairman Jones ap- pointed Thomas Gahan, on behalf of the committee, to act in conjunction with Chairman Cantrell of the State Board of Warehouse Commissioners, who had been named to represent the Illinois and Cook County committees, for the purpose of ascertaining the cost and other details in connection with the publication of a morn- | ing silver newspaper in Chicago during the campaign. The figures were submit- ted to Chairman Jones to-day and some time was spent with Committeemen Gahan and Johnson on this business, The busi- ness of starting such a paper will not be decided until a full meeting of the com- mittee, probably Monday morning. Sec- retary Walsh of the committee will arrive in town to-morrow. The plan is to start at once an eight-page general newspaper, the editor to be named by the National Cowamittee and the business end to be controlled by Chicago citizens, who will subscribe to the stock. The paper will be subsidized by the Na- tional and State committees and thou- sands of copies distributed by express throughout the West. It is proposed to make the price 1 cent everywhere. The necessity for such a paper in Chicago is admitted by the committee, but the cost of printing was found to be higher than expected. The publication will begin at once, if decided on, detailed arrangements having been made with that end in view. It is likely that a press burean will be established in connection with headquart- ers and a local newspaper man of ability placed in charge, to keep the silver press of the West thoroughly supplied with Democratic news. Dan McConville will be here M onday to start the speakers’ bureau in operation. g Bryan al Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22—John Boyle, chairman of the local committee on invitation, having in charge the ratifi- cation meeting to be held in this ecity, re- ceived a letter from Mr. Bryan this morn- ing in_ which, among other things, he says: “I will stop in Washington on my way from the South to New England. 1 cannot fix the date.” NEWSPAPER.

Oregon City was also unfortunate in this race, one of their couplings breaking while the hose was coming off the cart.

While Hugo Toland, the other heir, 1s endeavoring to have pro- bated what he claims is a will of Mrs. Toland, in the courts of S8an Francisco, it is understood that the probating of the will has been contested and that there is some doubt as to the validity of its pro- visions, even though it is proved to have been written by the late Mrs. Toland. It is also reported that this suit is brought on the t| MX that the provisions of the will are invalid. FRIENDLY FAMILY BUIT. Brought to Determine the Disposition of Certain Legaoies. SANTA BARBARA, Can, Aug. 22.— Suit was filed here to-day by Carter and Pierce, Los Angeles attorneys, against Mrs. Alice H. Wiiliams to force the pay- ment of $1000 td A. W. Ely and George Driscoll, sons of Maggie Driscoll, sister of the late John H. Williams of Naples, and Margaret Farrar, daughter and only child of another sister, Eliza W. Farrar. This is really an amicable suit, brought to de- termine the manner in which the sum of $5000 left tc Margaret Farrar, and two lega- cies of $2500 each left to Ely and Driscoll by Mr. Williams’ will, shall be paid. The attorneys of the widow claim that the reading of the will makes them payable in cash, while the attorneysof the heirs take the ground that they are to be paid from $48,000 worth of Government bonds which formed an itemin Mr. Williams’ estate. As these bonds are at 15 per cent premium, it will be readily seen that the difference involves a gain or loss of $1500 to the heirs. e SANTA BARBARA SLANDER SUIT. Outgrowth of RBitter Litigation Property Losses. SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Aug. 22— Gerard Grand has instituted suit for $10,000 damages against Louis G. Dreyfus on account of slanders alleged to have been uttered and published by the latter reflecting upon the plaintiff. The charges upon which the complaint is based are rather trivial in tone, but the suit is the onterowth of bitter litigation and property losses. Mr, Grand was a few years ago a considerable property-owner in this local- ity. He is a man of industrious and even frugal habits, but a poor financier, and having borrowed from time to time in considerable sums from Dreyfus, secured on his property, found himself a few months ago with scarce one of all his broad. acres left. In his extremity he bases this suit upon assertions made by the man in whom he formerly trusted. I G FELL THIRTY FEET, Joe Silk Strikos on a Conorete Floor and Ts Seill Ative.
