4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 1896. ALL CH MKINLEY, Thousands of Voters Go to Canton to Greet the Major. GERMAN-AMERICANS IN THE LEAD. Their Devotion to the Country Shown in the Past and Present. COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS ALSO PAY THEIR RESPECTS. Visitors Liberally Applaud the Can- didate’s Views on Protection and Reciprocity. CANTON, Omro, Aug. 29.—Two Btate delegations which were expected to-day postponed their visits at the last moment, and instead of four Major McKinley made two speeches to-1ay. The second one was to 1000 representative German-American voters from Cleveland, who arrived on a special train at 4 o’clock and marched to thé McKinley residence with their own bands and glee clubs. Each man in the delegation carried a smail American flag, end several large ones were borne in the procession at different points. There were fully 2000 people clustered in densely packed groups abont Major MeKinley's home awaiting the arrival of the German- American delegation. Most of the Chicago Commercial Club was there. When Major McKinley appeared the 1000 Cleveland men waved their flags. The first speaker, Captain E. H. Bohm, was in- troduced by Colonel Louis Smithnight. The next spokesman for the German- Americans was ex-Representative Snyder. He made a stirring sddress, declaring that the German-Americans would stand by McKinley as a stone wall for sound monéy and protection. On election day, the speaker declared, they will speak for pros- perity, for honesty and National honor. When Major McKinley mounted the chair 1o speak the cheering was tumultous. He said: My fellow-citizens: Itiswith peculiar pleas- ure and satisfaction that I welcome this repre- sentative body of German-American citizens of Cleveland and of Northern Ohio to the city of Canton and my own home. I appreciate most heartily your call, which as a compliment to myseif 1 prize very hghly, but more than all and above all I value it as a significant ex- pression of your interest and zeal in the great political campaign npon which we have en- tered. [Applause.] The citizens of the United States have learned not only to respect, but to depend upon the Germans s a great and po- tent influence in our civilization—safe and steady in every emergency, and patriotic in every crisis. [Great applause.] Loving your mother country as you do so affectionately does not mean that you love your adopted country less, but that you have hearts big enough for the love of botk. [Applause and cries of *‘Good, good.”] Transplanted in the free soil of America, German characteristics have strengthened our institutions snd exer- ‘cised both a salutary and wiseinfluence in our progress as a Nation, - Love of Fatherland, that deep and noble sentiment which has ever distinguished you, ‘means to our German citizens always love of Americaand her fres institutions ana abso- lute and unqualified devotion to every true American interest. [Greatapplause.] Respect ¥or law and order and faithtul obedience to ,constituted authorities have been distinguish- “ing traits of the Germans on both sides ef the Atlantic, while hatred of wrong and oppres- wion has called him to arms as quickly from his farm on our Western prairies as from his ancestral vineyard on the Rhine. Historians have recorded in all its greatness the strength and service of that German army which rallied 1o the standard of liberty and union at the eall of Lincoln and enrolled in its splendid istory the imperishable names of thousands ‘who 50 nobly suffered and died for their im- periled country. [Great cheering.] But no guch sacrifice, honorable as it is, can do iJustice to the services of those brave men, nor can it estimate at its true value their firm sup- yort of the Union in its moral effect upon all our people. [Applause.] Proudly can the German-American soldiers point to their deeds of valor and suffering in that great war. Confidently can they claim that they brought no shame upon the German name and bore themselves upon the battle-fields of America ‘as did the soldiers of Frederick and Blucher ‘in the old wars and Von Moltke in the great- jest European wars of recent years. [Great cheering.] The Government appreciated their #plendid services. When the news of the fall of Richmond reached Washington the people assembled in large numbers at the residence .of the Secretary of State. Responding to their call for a speech, Mr. Stanton said: " “I will ‘now write my glowing daispatehes. = What shall I tell the King of Prussia? He an- swered his own question with this glowing tribute to our German citizens: “I will tell him that the Germans have beén fatthful -to the Union standard, as his excellent Minfster, Baron Gerolt, has been constant in his friend- ship to the United States.” [Tremendous ap- plause.] My fellow-citizens, better or more faithful soldiers never mustered under any flag, fight- ing for any cause, than those willing and stprdy German-American volunteers. [Great cheering.] The troops who - fought under ‘Willich and Siegel, Kautz and Austerhaulz, Scburz and Heintzelman, Hartranft and Weit- zel, were the equals of their trained kinsmen of.he imperial armies of Germany. [Renewed chs:ring.] You will remember that old Gen- erqe Willich used to boast laughingly: *‘Give megtwo brigades of my corn-fed Western Ger- s and I will land them on the north coast ani! take the empire.” [Tremendousapplause.] Geheral Bheridan, too, declared, after visiting Evtope, where he studied the movements of th¢ Pranco-Prussian War, that he saw no trdops that excelled pur own, either of the Egistern or Western armies, and Abrabam Lin- coin proclaimed over and over agaln that they wére true, patriotic and faithful to the flag of ovrcountry. [Greatcheering.] But, my fellow-citizens, it is of the German- American in peace that I would now speak, conservative, industrious, steady, semsible, hcnest, fond of home and family, a good citi- zea—and who could be fond of home and fam- ily and not be a good citizen? {Renewed ebeers and cries of “Hurrah for McKinley.”) Nat deluded by false theoriesof finance, nor misled by catch pbrases of the campaign. As in thecrisis of the Civil War he was faithful tathe country and sustained the flag, so in every crisis since he had stood for the honor and integrity of the Government of the United States, always standing opposed to inflation and repudiation, no matter what the form or nature of the guise in which the spurious policies were presented, [Appleuse.] More than once in the close States during the struggle tor the resumption of specie pay- scalein favor of honest financeand the Ns- not like either cheap men or cheap money. [Avplause and cries of, “You are right, they don’t.”] They typify sturdy manhood in their own lives and they insist upon sound money in their own business. [Great cheering.] It is gratifying to every lover of his country this year to feel that the German-Americans of the United States are standing unitediy to-day for protection to ‘American industries, for protec- tion to American Iabor, in favor of doing our work at home and by our American ecitizens. [Enthusiastic applause and cries of *‘Hurrah for McKinley.”] They are in fayor of dollars worth 100 cents each and for the National honor, breaking with their old party associations because that perty under its new leadership is committed to inflation and a disordered currency. [Great cheering.] We welcome them all, both for what they are and what they have done, and bid our German fellow-citizens godspeed in every new effort in the broad flelds of business and statesmanship, to all of which they have already contributed s6 much. [Applause.] Gentlemen, I highly appreciste the homor of this call and the significance of it more than I can find words to express, and it will give me sincere pleasure to meet and greet each one of you personally. [Great cheering and cries of “Hurrah for McKinley,”] e TALES TO THE TRAVELERS. MeKinley Tells Commercial Men of Pro- tection’s Importance. CANTON, O=mto, Aug. 29.—At 7 o'clock the Commercial Travelers’ McKinley Club of Chicago arrived on a special train. The Commercial Travelers’ Club of Canton and the Dueber Escort Club, 400 strong, met the Chicago men at the station. At 10 o’clock the Chicagodelegation marched to Major McKinley’s residence. There were 500 men in line and the escort num- pered 500 aiso. The spokesman was G. J. Corey, chairman of the National Execu- tive committee of the commercial men of the United States. When he and Major McKinley appeared on the porch there was an outburst of cheering which lasted several minutes. After Mr. Corey had spoken a few words Major McKinley said : Mr. Corey, gentlemen of the Commercial Travelers’ Association and my fellow-citizens: Iam honored, greatly honored by the call of this assemblage of commercial men, repre- senting great commercial interests and com- ing from every section of our common coun- try. [Applause.] Although you are accus- tomed to calling on people for what I believe is chiefly your business, let me assure you that you never made a call anywhere more agreeable to your host than this call is to me, and [cries of “Good! good!” and “Hurrah for McKinley!”] it would be pleasant to me per- sonally to meet you onany occasion, but it is peculiarly gratifying to meet you now, coming asa body to testify your unity and confident devotion to the Republican principles enunci- ated by the National Republican Convention of 1896. [Cheers.] 1 recognize your inflence as one of the most potent factors in political contests, and Iam glad to know that this year in a greater degree than ever before the commercial men of the country are united in the cause of the Repub- lican party. [Tremendous cheering.] You have not always been in such close agreement with each other politically as now, but then you have had experience for four years, or nearly so, you have been attending the schools in which all the rest of us have been pupils. [Great laughter.] It has been a free school; [renewed laughter] the tuition has been free [continued laughter and cries of “Pretty costly though”]; but the ultimate cost has been very great. [Applause and cries of “That’s right.”] No body of American citizens of €qual num- ber could properly have a deeper interes:in the success of Republican principle than y 1, and none, I am sure can do so much to secure their certain triumph as you. [Great cheering and cries, “We will do that all right, Major.”] There is no more cer- tain barometer of the business of the United States than the sentiment of the men of which this boay assembled here this morning is rep- resentative. You encouragé the despondent and quicken the lagging into fresh activity. You give new hope and stimulate new effort in that great body of business men upon whom s0 largely depends the revival of business in all parts of our country. [Applause.] What we want above sl else, my fellow-citizens, is confidence [cries of “‘good! good!”], and we can’t get confidence by threatening to revolu- tionize and repudiate obligations, both public and private. [Enthusiastic cheering.] You know the facts of business and can dispel the theories of the dreamer and the misstatements of the demagogue, and one thing I like sbout the commercial travelers 1is that every ome of them is for the United States of America [great applause and cries of ‘*And for McKinley, t00.”], and always stand up for America. [Cheers.] We are all members of the great American family, and those policies which are good for one of us are good tor all of us. [Cries of “That's right!”] Those policies that are good for the Eastern and Central States are good for the ‘West and the great Northwest. [Cheers.] We bave slways practiced the golden rule. The best policy is ““to live and let live,” and to buy and sell in a way that will best promote the good of all. [Applause.] It never pays to buy cheap goods from a rival whose object in sell- ing to you at & low price is to establish a busi- ness that will in time destroy your own. [Great applause and criesof “That's right!”] We want no cheap goods in this country at the expense of free and honest American labor. [Tremendous cheerihg and cries of “Hur- rah for McKinley!l”] We want no cheap goods whose production would require us to introduce in the TUnited BStates in- dustrial ana socjal degradation. [Cries of “You are right, we don’t!”] Your spokesman has eloquently enumerated several of the great esgentials to our welfare and prosperity. Protection, as he well said,is the true Na- tional policy, the foundation stone on which must be reared the great structure of Amer- can a scendency and progress, the system that is preservative of all business, that steadily advances this country to the proudest rank in manufacturing, mining, trading and farming, which it always should occupy—greater than any other nation in the world. [Great ap- plause.] You will agree, I am sure,in the proud claim of Benry Clay—for it is justas true to-day as ever before—*“The cause of protection isthe cause of the country and it mustand will prevail” It is founded in the interests and affections of the people. Reciprocity, too, the gift of Blaine [applause] and Harrison [re- newed applause] to the Nation, deferred by Garfield’s untimely death, was at last pro- claimed by that great President, statesman and patriot, Benjamin Harrison. ([Tremeu- dous applause and cries of “Hurrah for Mc- Kinley!”] Reciprodity, the twin of protection and the true handmaiden of prosperity, al- ready hasastrong hold on the affectionsof our people. Limited as her opportunities have been she has always shown that she can be & great factor in the trade of our country. What we want, gentlemen, is a reciprocity thatis fair, liberal and just to our own as well as to other countries. The policy of Harrison and Blaine means the supremacy of trade, not its injury. It pro- poses new and larger -markets to our surplus manufacturing and agricultural products— not injurious competition, nor lessened trade. A sound treasury, t00, is. demanded alike by every consideration of good government and good business, The Government must pro- vide revenue for all expenses or its credit will be in constant jeopardy. Honest money must always be the best money. [Cheers.] That is the character of the money we have in circulation {o-day—every dollar worth 100 cents [tremendous applause] in every country of the world, and we propose to keep it there. [Enthusiastic cheering and cries of “When you are elected, there s no doubtabout that!”] If there is one kind of money that is good in every civilized country of the world and other that passes in only some parts of the world, the people of the United States will never be content with anything shortof the best. [Greatepplause.] We have been doing business on that basis since January 1, 1879, We will continue that policy so long as we haves just regard for our honest obligations and high standing as a Nation. [Cheers.] Free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, or about halfl its frue bullion value, is not & full aollar. [Cries of *‘No, you bet it isn’t.”] Good money never made times hard, and poor money never made times good. [Tremendous applause and My fellow-citizens, our contest this year is ments the German-American vote turned lheJJ:nvuu of hats.] tion’s plighted faith, The Germsn citizens do. X the country’s honor and prosperity, The need of the hour is work for willing hands; work and wages for the unemployed [cries of “That's right, Major!”] and & chance to earn the good dollars which are now idle and are only waiting in their hiding places for a restoration of confidence. [Great cheer- ing.] Our contest is for the good faith of the Nation and welfare ot the people and we can proclaim with confidence the same su- preme faith in the people which upheld Lin- coln in every trial of the war. As h d: “In- telligence and patriotism and a firm reliance in him who has never yet forsaken this favored 1and are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulties.” [Cries of “That's right!”] In this faith we submit our contention to the great tribunal of the people. I thank you, my fellow-citizens, for the com- pliment and courtesy of this call. [Tremen- dous cheering and cries of “Hurrah for Mc- Kinley, the next President!”’] Major McKinley had a great many call- ers to-day apart from the delegations and received more than 400 letters congratu- lating him upon his letter of acceptance. Major Ben Butterworth arrived from Washington this evening. He is on his way West to take the stump for McKin- ley. CARNAGE IN CONSTANTINOPLE. British Troops Land to Suppress the Horrors—The Sultan Power/ess—Amer- icans Are Safe. CONSTANTINOPLE, TuRKEY, Aug. 29. Further details of the situation here show a horrible condition of affairs. Becretary Herbert of the British Embassy states that he saw one of the municipal scaven- ger’scarts heaped up with the bodies of Armenian porters. TUpon the top of the load was the body of a porter whose head was terribly bat- tered, but who was still alive. Mr. Her- bert noticed that the skulls of most of the victims were cleft or battered. The Italian Embassador who witnessed the killing of a number of Armenians by Turks, appealed to the officer of a passing patrol to interfereon behalf of the Armen ians. The appeal, however, was fruitless. The officer refused the Embassador’s request, saying: ““Itis the people,”’ and proceeded on his way. The Sultan, npon hearing that the guard- ships had landed bodies of men, begfi;sd Mr. Herbert to withdraw them, but this the latter declined to do until the riosing had ceased. Tne American College and bible-house were guarded by troops and the coll eze was visited by United States Minister Ter- rill, who wished to ascertain whether or not the occupants were safe. The Minister’s appearance had a good effect and he was assured by the Chiet of Police that everything would be done to preserve order. el N Armenians Will Fight to a Finish, CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Aug. 29.— The Armenian revolutionary committee have issued another manifesto, in which are embodied twelve demands, the chief of which is that autonomy be granted to the Armenians. After enumerating their demands the manifesto goes on to declare that the Armenians will fight tor their rights until the last of them have been killed. —_— Will Not Surrender Khalid. BERLIN, GeriaNy, Aug. 29.—A dis- patch to the Cologne Gazette from Zanzi- bar says that the German Consul there has refused to surrender to the British Said Khalid, the self-proclaimed Sultan, and those of his followers who took refuge at the consulate after being driven from the palace by the bombardment of the British warships. Italy’s Demand From Brasil. ROME, Itavy, Aug. 29.—The Italian Government has arranged tosend Senor De Martino, a former Minister, to Brazil, to demand satisfaction from the Brazilian Government of all the claims made by Italy. Bignor De Martino will eail for Rio on board the cruiser Piedmonte. RIS s S Gallagher Sails for New York. SOUTHAMPTON, Exa., Aug. 29.—Dr. Gallagher, the Irish-American dynamiter, released from Portland prison yesterday, sailed for New York on the steamer St. Paul to-day, accompanied by Dr. McBride, his physician. Gallagher 1ooks emaciated and seemed depressed. —— Both Shot to Death. LEAVENWORTH, Kaxs, Aug. 29— ‘When Proprietor Mills of the National Ho- tel this evening broke open a door in his hostelry to which ““John Hartig and lady’’ had been assigned Friday night he found both lying on the bed dead from bullet wounds in their heads. The couple regis- tered from Connors, Kans. Both were well dressed, and it is surmised that the tragedy was the result of interrupted love. e The Brooklyw’s Corrected Speed. WASHINGTON, D. O., Ang. 29.—Com- modore Dewey telegraphed the Secretary of the Navy from Boston as follows: “The Brooklyn’s speed, corrected for the tide, is 21.1917.”" The official figures thus show that the Brooklyn came within a fraction of win- ning a $400,000 premium by reaching a 22- knot speed. Asitls she secures $350,000 by exceeding her contract 13 knots. A s Treasury Gold Reserve. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 29.—Gold withdrawais to-day amounted to $67,500, leaving the reserve at the close of busi- ness at $101,093,075. Orders for gold comn imports to-day were $2,500,000. NAPOLECN'S QUEER WAYS. Mme, Ducrest’'s Treatment of Him in Her Anecdotal History of France. One of the most recent contributions to the -anecaotal history of France is the volume of memoirs written by Mme. Du- crest and translated into English. Napo- leon’s rudeness to men and women and his “hen hussyism” are treated bare- handed, and she 8ays that it was only on the field of battle and other great emerg- encies that Bonaparte became the very genius of self-prssession. B8till, even in the minor relations’of life, Napoleon was not invariably self-asserting and dog- matic. He had his tender and gracious moments. Mme. Ducrest tells a pretty anecdote of his kindness to a venerable lady who bolonsed to the old regime, and who was not disposed to ‘become a sup- pliant to the new.” As soon as Bonaparte was raised to the consulate he sent for her, rose to meet her as she appeared and assured her be should feel pleasure in granting her any boon she might think fit to solicit. It was all done in recognition of the fact that she had .once given him a prize at school.” “General,” she said, “I h.’g no right to look for anything irom you.” “You have then forgotten, madame, that it was from you I received my first crown? You came with the Duc d’Orleans, to distribute the prizes at Brienne, and when you placed on my brow the wreath of laurel, which was destined to be toe precursor of so many others, you said: ‘May it bring you happiness.” - Iam told that I am a fatalist, therefore it is not sur- prising that I should remember what you have forgotten. I shall be delighted to be serviceable to you.”” But the happiest portion of these Du- crest memoirs are those in which “Madame Sans Gene’ appears. The hui ble wife of the humble soldier who after: ward became Marshal Lefebvre an Duke of Dantzig, is here drawn to the life in her volgar nature, her magnificent devotion to her husband and her loyal friendship to those who were dear to her in early life. She never ceased to display the manners of & washerwoman, and she is, if possible, more delightfully vulgar in the Ducrest volume than in the Sardou- Morean play, WILLIAGH BRYAN BAOLY WORRIED. Not at All Pleased With the Prospect of a Third Ticket. PAPERS BOTHER HIM. Accuses the Sound Money Ad- vocates of Groping in Darkness. FARMERS FURTHER INFORMED Asked to Talk About Tariff, the Boy Orator Deftly Dodges the Issue. HORNELLSVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 29.— Before a gigantic gathering of farmers at Maple City Park, near Hornellsville, this afternoon William J. Bryan severely criti- cized the third-ticket movement and those who are taking part in it. Mr. Bryan was at his best and spoke with an earnestness approaching fervor. Fully 7000 people were present, and the manner in which they showed their appreciation of Mr. Bryan’s remarks gave them the title of being one of the most enthusiastic audi- ences the candidate has addressed since he started out from Chicago after his nom- ination. Mr. Bryan's voice was husky when he began, but it soon gained strength and came strong and clear before his dis- course was finished. He spoke as follows: Fellow-citizens, I have not time to enter into an elaborate discussion of the issues presented to the people in this campaign, but I desire to call attention to a few things which may assist you in deciding on which side you should cast your influence. There are certain things which you have a right to consider. Itisthe object—or, at least, it should be—of the public speakers to help their audiences to understand the merits of disputed questions, and 1t is one of the evidences of sincerity of purpose that the person discussing the public issues shall discuss them plainly, clearly, so that every one can understand just what is said and just what is meant. When ambiguous language is used, when obscure expressions are em- ployed, it 18 an assured fact thatthe person using them has something to conceal rather than to make plain. The good book speaks of certain persons who love darkness rather than light, and the good book gives a reason for that peculiar affection. Do you remember what it is? They love dark- ness rather than light because their deeds are evil. WheneverI find darkness employed in the discussion of a question or in the state- ment of a position I am irresistibly reminded of that Bible passage and conclude that the person who attempts to obscure does it be- cause he is not willing that other people shall know what he believes and what he desires to accomplish. When I hear & man talking about sound money without telling what he means by itI think he loves darkness rather than light because his deeds are evil [ap plauge] and when I find that our opponents are taking their arguments from people who have not names I am afraid there is a purpose in the obscurity. Let me call your attention to something which you will find at the top of the first column of the first page of the Buffalo Courier under great big headlines: “Ready to un- load.” ‘‘Indiana bankers hope that Bryan will win.” “Great hoards of silver; they are eager to dump it by the uhliflond on the United States mints and to double its present prices,” Under these headlines I find the special cablegram from that great city whence comes most of the arguments of our enemies, London, E sses.] In the course of an v & leading Indian merchant innre:urned from Calcutta said tome: “A eading merchant” (name unknown). [Laughter.] American politics is just now of absorbing interest to Hindoo and Parsee bankers and financiers as well a8 to native potentates. Yes, my triends; for our American politics is of absorbing interest to all the nations of the earth, because we are go- ingto decide to govern ourselves. [Cheers.] Therefore they are becoming interested. Con- tinuing the newspaper quotation: “Allof them ossessing enormous hoards of silver, eagerly lesire Bryan’s election and the chance thereby afforded them to dump shiploads of bullion into the United States mint at double the pres- ent price. Soeager are they that I have heard a well-founded rumor (an unknown person has heard a well-founded:rumol? that a friend has been found to aid the free-silver party by sup- plying campaign literature.” That is the end of the quotation from the unkaown Indian merchant, and the cable- ram adds: “My informant is & man of such igh commercial standard that I attach much importance to this information.” There is & correspondent who does not sign his name telling about & man of high commercial stand- ing, whose name he does not give, who quotes ‘what a leading merchant says, whose name is unknown, and who says that there 1s a “well- founded rumor” thQ: certain things are going to happen. [Laughfer.] That, my friends, is the sort of argument that is being spread before the American people. Why do not these men who lreglvlng opinions give their names so we can find out who the men are and what their opinion is worth? But Iam afraid that they love darkness rather than light, because their deed are evil and they dare not come out in the o;;en light. [Applause.] I call attention to this because We Can see bx it what an unsubstantial foun- dation {slaid for the fears which they attempt to excite in the breasts of American citizens. Letme give you another evidence of the lack of candor and directness that characterizes vur opponents. Ex-Secretary Fairchild is quoted in this same paper as saying: “Ido not seé how we can do anyhing else than put a third ticket in the Preridential arena. &a have practically com- mitted ourselves to such a course. We want to see the defeat of the Chicago ticket, and we shall try to draw away as many voters as we can from it. We feel that their defeat may be best accomplished by a third ticket. Of course we shall find no fault with those of our friends who cast a straight vote for McKinley. As to whom the nominees will be I have not the slightest idea.” Now, there, my friends, is a party that claims to bein favor of honest money, advo- cating the putting up of a ticket. not for the purpose of electing the tickat, not for the pur- pose of voting for the ticket, but for the pur- pose of electing another man whom they are not willing to indorse in a convention. "[Ap- plause.] I simply call your attention to the methods whicn we have 1o meet in this cam- paign. AndIask you whether these methods characterize a political party that is so aevoted o honesty in everything that it wants honest mx}zey and sound dollars. [Derisive laugh- Now, as against a party, without daring to advocate a gold standard, yet declaring in favor of its maintenance uniil other naticns come to our relief, and as against another so- called party that advocates the nomination of 8 ticket, not for the purpose of electing it, but for the purpose of electing another tickert, we present a‘straightforward, em; ¢ declara- tion which 1s 50 clear thatone who runs may read: ¢We demand the immediate.restora- tion of the free and unlimited coinage of. gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1, with- out waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.” "I believe you have a right to consider the frankness, the candor with which these positions are stated whén you come to decide which side is honestly striving to d? that which is best for the American people. Now if the gold standard is a good thing the Republicans ought to have aeclured in favor of ual maintainance. the gold stan- 00d thing, then the United States ave it, and if the gold standard is a thing, then 110 foreign nation should be permitted to force a gold standard upon the eople of the United States. [Cheers.] There l;e::'p- :;l.t -‘l‘:fg‘}ey plu}l%m of ".?: Rop.\:!: e Tay Of you isfied With your condition?

A&p]mle.']“ That, my friends, s the position in #hich We aze placed in this campaign, no party des s perpet; ard is a ought to pending on a gold standard, and yet & ,grut party willing to surrender t'he “:llht of self; overn, W ~to ves! 5 wanmrml:-}?l'nd let them legisla for the United States. [Hisses and shouts of “Never, never.”] I do not belleve that the American people will ever consent to receive their,mandates from over the ocean. [A volce with a strong Hibernian accent: “Johany Bull never do it.”] ‘For an hour Mr. Bryan lron on the subject of silver, repeating former argu- ments in new phrases, and then 4 man in the crowd asked Mr. Bryan to say some- thing about the tariff. “What is the use in discussing tbe tariff question,” Mr, Bryan_ responded, ‘“‘ontil we decide whether the United States hasa right. io legislate on anw}‘uemunr gAp- plause and laughter.] y_not submit the tariff question tc the international agreement along with the money ques- tion? The tariff question compared with the money question isabsolutely insignifi- cant, and you cannot force the tariff ques- tion into a campaign where the people are trying to decide their financial inde- Eéndence of every other nation on earth. heers.] It matlers not how we may iffer on other questions, this is going to determine the allegiance of peovle to party this year, and if the syndicates can leave the Democratic party in order to Prevent free silver I want to know why aboring men and the farmers cannot leave the Republican party in order to destroy the gold standard. [Shouts of ““We will.”] Ibelieve thatthe way to make {eopla love their Government is not to call hem abusive names when they make a just complaint, but to make the Govern- ment so good it shall deserve the love of every citizen. Instead of telling you that the Creator made a great many to toil and a few to ride on the back of those who toil, I come to renew your faith in the love of independence which declares that all men are created equal, and if all men are cre- ated equal, then no man, whatever his name or position or lot in life, has a right to injure another man, and that no Government should either enable one citi- zen to injure another or permit one citizen to injure another. “I1 bave not come here to beg your votes, but I say that when you have read my_plsuorm and understand what these policies mean to you, if you then believe that through the ticket nominated at Chi- cago you can best serve your country, serve your rights and protect your fam lies, then I am a bidder for your votes, I care not to what party you belong. But if, on the other hand, you believe that the election of anybody else is better for yourselves and vour country, then it wounld be criminal for you to cast your votes for me. That is my idea of politics. It is not the person, it is_the cause for which the person stands. It is not the indorsement, it is the princinles. I stand for certain principles, and if elected, I will carry them out to the best of my abilities. So help me. [Loud and pro- longed cheerirg. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were conveyed from the fair grounds to the railroad station, receiving a most enthusiastic ovation all along the route, and at once staried for Jamestown. OLEAN, N. Y., Aug. 39.—Mr. Bryan made the trip from Hornellsville to James- town in a special car furnished by the Jamestown committee, On the train was a committee of reception from Olean to Jamestown. There were few stops. A big crowd had gathered at Wellsville, but the train whirled past so rnnfdli that all the candidate heard was tue echo of the cheers and the faint strains of a bana. Cuba was the first stop. A big crowd was there and Mr. Biyan shook hands with many. The train reached Olean at 6:20 p. M. and Mr. Bryan was given a rous- ing reception. Mr. Bryan spoke from the rear platform of the car. Taree thousand people were in the crowd and tney cheered with vigor. JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 29.—Mr. Bryan arrived at the Jamestown station at 7:40 p. M., and was greeted with cheers b{ a thousand people gathered there and zlong an embankment overiooking the track. He and Mrs. Bryan were taken to the Sherman House, whence, after sup- per, they were conveyed to Celeron, on Chautauqua Lake, 1n a special trolley car. The convention hall at Celeron has a seating capacity of 3000, but fully 4000 were jammed,into itloni before the Bryan party came at 9 o’clock. Outside there were thousands struggling to get to the doors. police protection and had to fight hard to keep from being crushed by the curious men who swarmed around them. When Mr. Bryan stepped upon the plat- form he was greeted with a fierce, shrill cheer, which in its intensity suggested the Chicago convention. Every one stood on their chairs waving handkerchiefs, and the cheers kept up for several minutes. Adfter this began the trouble which came almost to being a panic, and under the conditions there a panic would surely have resulted in loss of life. Frank H. Mott introduced Mr. Bryan, who stepped forward ana stood waiting for quiet. The people ket crowding in at the door and pressing to the front. Mr. Bryan begged those in the aisles to get out lest a panic should result and by word and gestures implored them for order, but he could not get il. Members of the commit- tee tooks turns at exhorting the people to keep back, but they were not heeded. One excited-man in the gallery got a hearing and cried: ''‘Go out for heaven’s sake. There will be a panic and people will be killed.”’ Mr. Bryan declared that he would not speak under such dangerous conditions. Mr, Sibley, one of the committee, an- nounced that Mr. Bryan would leave the hall and talk in the open air 1f the people would go out. Finally the intelligence Wwas conveyed to the people that Mr. Bryan wou’ i talk outside aiter the inaocor meeting and Mr. Sibley would talk out- side immediately. Several hundred were induced to leave and then, after thirty minutes’ struggling against the determin- ation of more people than the hall would hold to hear him, Mr. Bryan wasable to begin his speech. The address delivered was largely on the lines of his speech at Hornellsville to- day, He puc the audience in good humor immediately by the statement that when 80 many people gathered together on such an occasion and_ put themselves to so much personal discomfort in a banner Republican county, he was afraid to go into any Democratic counties to speak. He devoted bimseif almost entirely to the issue of the campaign. At the out- side he predicted that there would be six- teen Republicans for every Democrat lost by the Chicago ticket. He accused his po- litical opponents of having brought about anic to secure the accomplishment of private ends. They forced issue after issue of bonds regardless of prices, and the tax- payers had to pay the prices. —_—— HURACE BOIES ON THE STUMP. Jowa’s Ewx-Governor Opens the Cam- paign for the Democrats.
