2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1896. s Democrat had been elected by the corrupt wuse of money ~Aaron Bretz was seconded and supvortéd by Charles A. Barlow; for, on the evening of the same day on which the false accusa- tion in the joint assembly was made Mr. Barlow was the first Populist to sign, out of alphabetical order, cer- tain unwarranted resolutions denouncing the means by which said Democrat was elected to the United States Senate as “false and treason- able and an outrage, humiliating and dis- graceful, and an infamous wrong to overa ~million voters of the Nation now struggling to enect measures which alone can save the Nation from terrible evils.” 1t further appears that on August 15, 1896, said Charles A. Barlow was nominated as the candidate of the People’s party in the Sixth Congressional district, and that & certain jolnt committee in San Franeisco, claiming to Tepresent the Democracy of said district, have indorsed or nominated said Charles A. Baflow as the Democratic candidate for Congress in said Congressional district. Wherefore, and in view of the facts herein set forth, I respectfuly submit that said Charles A. Barlow bhas not only forfeitea the confidence of the Democratic electors of said district, but he has proved himself unworthy the support of any citizen, be he Democrat, Kepublican or Populist, and I hereby protest against his nomination and election.

Lienau, editor and proprietor of the Volks Zeitung, at St. Paui, the greatest German daily of the Northwest, isin the city. For thirteen years Mr. Lienau was in the Minnesota Legislature, as Repre- sentative and Senator, and he has, per- haps, the greatest influence of any Ger- man in Mionesota. At present he is re- siding at Redlands, in this State, leaving the management of the paper to his son. “I have been a Democrat all my life,”” paid Mr. Lienau to-day. ‘I was a Presi- dential elector for Fremont, in 1856, and have been a Democrat ever since. But I am npot for Bryan. My paper will never support any man who advocates a repudi- ation of the National debt or anything that hints of National dishonorin finances orin anything else. Iam an out-and-out McKinley man, and my paper is an out* and-out McKinley paper. Naturally it has considerable influence as the only German daily in Minnesota. “‘Minnesota,”’ continued Mr. Lienau, *“is safe for McKinley. That State bas a large proportion of naturalized citizens in it and they perceive more clearly scme- how than the native Americans what great need there is for a high protective tariff and sound money in this country. Men who were born and raised in the Oid World know what low wages mean, and they know a good thing in the United States when they see it. 'I'ney are op- posed to anything that will reduce wages to the standard they know so weil in Eu- | rope, They are in favor of a dollar that is | a dollar, and when they work hard for their oney they want it to be worth something. That is the reason why Min- nesota is safe for McKinley.” *‘What is your opinion of California?” “Well,” replied Mr. Lienau, *‘when I first came out to the coast 1 perceived a rabid silver sentiment. Everybody seemed to be inoculated. But the in- formation that has come during the cam- paign has taught voters more about the money question, and the more they study it the iess they are for silver. Iseea rapid reduction in the number of silver- ites and & decided abatement in the ultra views of those who still espouse that cause. 1i the campaign would oniy continue six months you woula not find as many sil- verites as there are prohibitionists now. The campaizn of education is bringing them around to McKinley and sound money. They are seeing plainer every day that prosperity cannot be attained by ‘monkeying’ with the stability of the money of the country. They were crazy for a change, and when silver was sprung they went for it open-mouthed; but now they are seeing their error. By Novem- / ber I expect to see an 1immense falling off in the adherents of the silvercraze and the defeat of those who still cling to that fallacy.” BE et NEWARKE’'S REPUBLICAN RALLY. Auspicious Upening of the Campaign in the Alameda County Village. NEWARK, CaL., Sept. 7.—The Repub- lican campaign opened here with the or- ganization of a McKinley and Hobart Clab, seventy-five strong, and a rousing meeting at Watkins Hall, which was crowded to suffocation. Old-line Demo- crats figured conspicuously in the aud:- dience. County Central Committeeman C. M. C. Peters of Niles called the meeting to or- d After stating its object to be the or- ganization of a McKinley and Hobart Ciub, and that a similar club would be organized at Niles on Saturday evening, when Hon, J. T. Dare and Hon. Louis Titus, of S8an Francisco, would address the citizens of Niles and vicinity, he intro- duced the chairman of the evening, J. B. Terrill. Chairman Terrill named the following vice-presidents: John Dugan, F. C. Jar- vis. W. F. Pike, James W. Clark, W. H. rd, Senator J. L. Beard, James Black, . E. Osgood., Joseph Mowry, J. M. Brewer. F. B. Granger, Edward Whipple, F. M. Smith, Howard Emerson, 8. Sand- holdt, J. C. Mattos, Jr., E. F. Brandon. Short addresses were delivered by Sena- tor J. L. Beard and F. E. Smith, Hon. 8. J. Duckworth of Monterey spoke for an hour and a half devoting his attention to the money and tariff issues, His address was a masterpiece and won much applause: Every reference to Mc- Kinley and protection was loudly cheered. To-night’s meeting marks the inaugura- tion of an aggressive campaign in this part of Alameda County, from which great re- sults are expecte Tt U MAGUIRE MEETS A FROST. Adaresses Not Over a Score of People at the State Fair. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 7.—If the reception accorded to Congressman James G. Maguire at the Agricultural Pavilion this morning, when he appeared to advo- cate free coinage, is to be taken as a cri- terion of the interest displayed in that subject by the people of SBacramento cits and county, then Brvan, the champion of that theory, will have to look to other vortions of the State for the alarming ma- jority which the Democrats are boasting he will obtain. Maguire’s reception was frosty in the extreme. There were scarcely more than a score of people present, ana these seemingly preferred to stroll around among the exhibits and admire the agri- cultural Rroduc!s, the glittering array of stone and tin ware, or the floral beauty of the conservatories to sitting and absorb- ing the utterances of this polished master of the Baxon language, as he explained to them the dire necessity of extending for another four yearsthe rule of the party of closed faciories and products unsalable. The respect which Maguire has inspired even among his political enemies in this city is too well known to permit the belief that the lack of interest and the paucity of audience could be attributed to the speaker’s unpopularity. It was the policy he advocated that induced the frost. His failure to obtain the audience of the people of Sacramento County but proves that the people of this section are flocking to the standard of McKinley and protection. SR “BRYAN CAN'T BE ELECTED.” Congressman Apsley Predicts an Ovey- whelming Majority for MeKinley, SEATTLE, Wask., Sept. 7.—Congress- men W, McCall and L. D. Apsley of Mas. sachusetts, who have been campaizning on the Pacific Coast, under the suspices of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, passed through Seattle yester- day from Tacoma, in which city they spoke Saturday night, en route to Spokane, where they were to address a meete ing to-night. Both spoke enthusiastic- ally of the outlook, Apsley predicting Mc- Kinley’s election by a greater majority than General Grant obtained over Greeley. “Why, nobody knows better than Chair- man Jones that Bryan can’t be elected,” Apsley observed. Of the situation in California McCall id: *The people of that Btats appear to regard protection as the issue of para- mount importance in this campaign, and I feel certain that Major McKinley will carry both California and Oregon.” e e e LABOR'S VOICE 18 HEARD.

Sttt WALLING AT OROVILLE. Issues of the Day Disoussed From a Republican Standpoint. OROVILLE, Car., Sept. 7.—The first Republican rally of the campaign was held this evening in front of the Union Hotes. Bonfires lighted up the town, salutes were fired and there was a grand display of fire- works. A thousand people listened to the speakers. The meeting was called. to order by Colonel Babcock of Oakland, who spoke briefly on the Republican platform and the value of protection. Judge Walling of Nevada City, the speaker of the evening, was then introduced. He confined his speech principnllg to the money guestion, declaring that the Legislature could rot fix the value of silver, any more than 1t could that of wheat, and that the free coinage movement was only a scheme of silver-mine owners to increase the value of silver bullion.

Will Marry One of His Flock Before Leaving for His New Fiela of Labor. BOSTON, Mass.,, September 5.— Rev. Cherles R. Brown, for the last four years pastor of the Winthrop Congregational Church of Charlestown, surprised his con- gregation to-day by resigning the pastor- ate and announcing that he had sccepted a call to the First Congregational Church of Oakland, Cal. He will marry a Charles- town lady just before he leaves. The fol- lowing is Mr. Brown’s letter in part: 1 now desire to tell you that I have recently been called to the pastorate of the First Con- gregational Church of Oakland, Cal This offer has come to me entirely unsought. I have never even visited the field or met a single member of that church, It stands among the larger churches of our denomina- tion in & position of wide influence on the Pa~ cific Cosst and affords the greatest oppor- tunities for active service. It is my feeling end the feeling of my friends who are acquainted with the facts that I ought to enter this opening. For many weeks I have made the question a subject ot prayer, and I am now firmly persuaded that my pres- ent duty lies in this field in the far West. I therefore hereby resign mi' office as pastor of the Winthrop Church, to take effect Septem- ber 22, 1896. I msk you to consider this resignation at an early date, to join with me in calling an ecelesiast; uneil for my dismissal. I trustno effort will be made look- ing towerd any reconsideration of this ste for no further action on your part could m;:( to the deep appreciation I already have of the generosity and kindness you are so ready to show your minister. Mr. Brown came to Charlestown from Cincinnati and this is his second pastor- ate. Heis a graduate of the university of Iowa and Boston University. Mr. Brown will close his connection with the Win- throp Church September 22, and go direct to Oakland, beginning kis work there Oc- tober1. Before he leaves Charlestown he isto be married to Miss Alice Tuits, 21 Oak street, the daughter of George ¥. Tufts, treasurer of the Warren Institute of Bavings. He is to labor in his new field through the fall and winter, and the middie of February will start upon his wedding journey, visiting Egypt, Pales- tine and Europe. AEbn o RACING IN THE EAST.

LEADVILLE, Covo., Sept. 7.—Efforts to start up the Bohn Shaft to-day were re- peatedly frustrated by the intimidation tactics of the miners. As fast as one set of employes were put to work the miners began to use threats, and the workmen weakened., The operators say they will continue for a week longer to try to start up work, and, if the union miners do not that time stop their intimidation work, the mines will be finally closed for the winter. No effort to use force to put men at work nor the aid of militia will be brought to bear. ————— Visiine cards and invitations printed and mv’:d in stationery department at Bnlo.m BILL'S JAW WORKS ON LABOR DAY Workingmen of Chicago Turn Out to Hear ° Bryan Talk. BIG CRUSH IN A PARK. Thousands Journey tothe Wooded Pleasure Resort to Listen to a Speech. TAFFY FOR WAGE-EARNERS. Wili ie,” *“Rilly, Old Boy,” and “‘Hon- orable Bili” Are Terms Applied to Bryan by the Crowd. CHICAGO, Irn, Sept. 7.—The celebra- tion of Labor day by Chicago workingmen centered mainly in the meeting addressed by William J. Bryan at Sharpshooters Park, a wooded pleasure ground situated at an inconvenient distance from the city. The street railway service was not of the best, and many people were unable to reach the park. Every car that ran to the grounds was packed from noon untit after 2 o'clock, and those who went by that means suffered much discomfort. The day was all that could be desired in point of weather, a little too warm for tne close contact of human beings, but practically perfect for outdoor assembly. Mr. Bryan spoke from a permanent plat- form, with a shell-shaped canopy, and long before the meeting bezan this was crowded by prominent labor unionists, many with their families. The crowd began to gather about noon, and those who came early sought positions close to the front of the stand. Many men and boys climbed trees overlooking the platform and were able to see and hear the better from their exalted positions. Occasionally the limb of a tree broke and added to the fun and excitement of the occarion. Other men climbed to the roof of the stand, and lying flat“on their stomachs peered over the edge on those beiow like so many human squirrels. The crowd was not as great as had been expected. Before Mr. Bryan entered the park about 6000 pecple were clustered around the central point of interest, but after the appearance of the nominee 3000 or 4000 more entered the grounds and walted to catch a glimpse of the Demo- cratic nominee or stood on the outskirts of the audience endeavoring to hear what he said. The charge of 25 cents for ad- mission unjustly served to decrease the attendance, The ceiebration at the park was the annual picnic of the Building Trades Council, a representative organization of men employed in building trades. The crowd which gathered was essentially one of workingmen and their families. The; enjoyed the address of the nominee whz unconstrained freedom ana made frequent comments of an amusing character that several times had the effect of making Mr. Bryan break into a laugh which spoiled a rounded period. The crowd was exceed- ingly disorderly in a good-natured way. Frequent appeils were necessary to ob- tain'quiet. Two or three times the jam near the stand became so great that sev- eral women fainted and were trodden before being rescued and revived. Mr. Bryan once appealed to the people to stop crushing and stopped another time to hand a glass of water to be passed to a fainting woman. Mr. Bryan was received with long-con- tinued applause, and throughout his ad- dress of an hour’s duration he was treated with the utmost good-natured familiarity. The crowd called him ‘Willie,” *Billy, old boy,” and “Honorable Bill,” and toid him to “Hit ’em again’’ and _to “Give them another’” whenever he caught the fancy of his audience. It was a few minutes after 2o’clock when Mr. Bryan’s carriage reachea the Fsrk. followed by several others carrying abor leaders and their wives, Seated with Mr. Bryan were Edward P, Carro! resident of the Building Trades Counci . D. McKinley, presideut of the Carpen- ters’ District Council, and J. J. Ryan, a local labor leader. In another carriage was Dr. Theodore Barth of Berlin, a mem- ber of the German Reichstag, who ar- rived in this country four days ago to study the politics of a Presidential cam- paign. He met Mr. Bryan at the Audi- ;grinm Hotel, and was invited by him to tend the meeting. Mr. Bryan's carriage was followed from the roadway through the grounds to the platform by a cheering ranning crowd of men and boys. There were no police offi- cers to restrain them and they almost felled Mr. Bryan in their eagerness to grasp his hand and say something com- &limcmnry. By dint of muscular work r. Bryan was able to reach the platform and smiled his thanks when the thousands cheered him lustily. At the conclusion of Mr. Bryan’s speech, which wasthe only one made, there was a repetition of the unrestrasined crush on a larger scale in the rear of the platform, where the agenkor tried to get away in his carriage. Hundreds pushed on in front of him and grasped his hand whether he liked it or not, and there fifteen minutes before a passageway could be cleared. Hundreds rushed on the plat- form in their mad eagerness to get near the nominee, and there was imminent danger of a collapse. The police finally gotaround and into Mr. Bryan’s carriage and drove off the people who clung to the vehicle until the rouiP was reached. President Carroll, who acted as chair- man, quickly saw thé crowd was in no mood to hear a speech from him and merely presented Mr.. Bryan, who said: Ladies and Gentlemen: I desire to thank the Buiiding and Trades Council for this oppor- tunity which they have extended me of speak- ing to_the peopie assembled on Labor dey. Labor day has become & fixed event among our institutions, and it is well that it is so, be- cause on thisday ail over this Nation those Wwho are engaged in the production of wealth meet in order that they may commune with each other, discuss those questions in which they are especially interesied and emphasize before the world that there is nothing dishonor- able in the fact that one earns his breaa in the sweat of his face. Iam glad to stand on this day in the pres- ence of those to whom this Nation is so largely indebted for all that it has had, for all that it has now and for all that it can hope to have. Iam notinduiging in idie flattery when I sa; to you that no part of the people of the worlz are 0 important to the welfare of mankind as those whose labor and brains convert the nat. ural resources of the world into material wealth. I might quote 16 you what Mr. Car- lisle said to the ffi” in 1878, when he de- scribed them as the struggling masses who proauced the wealth and who paid the taxes Of the country. Hedid not praise them too highly. The struggling- masses not onl pro- duce the wealth and pay the taxes in time of ace, but the struggling masses have ever ‘0 and must ever be the Nation's surest pro- tection in time of peril. The speaker then took from his pocket the c?y of an address by Abrabam Lin- coln, delivered in Congress, from which he quoted certain ragraphs, one of called attention to an effort made to place capital on an equality with if not above labor in the structure of Govern- ment, and following with the assertion that capitalis only the fruit of labor and could have never existed withoutit. * La- bor,” gaid Lincoln, * is superior to capital and deserves much higher consideration.” Mr. Bryan followed with a quotation from Solowon and continued : Solomon favored neither poverty nor riches. He regarded that condition best which is not at either extreme, but lies betwesn the ex- tremes. Neither great riches nor abject pov- erty furnish us the soil iz which grows the t civilization. Those who are pressed by pov- erty lose the ambition, the inspiration, the lofty purpose that are necessary to lead one on tothe'greatest achievements, and those who SSess 100 great wealth lose the necessity for abor—that labor which is absolutely essential 10 the development oi that which is best in human nature, Solomon was right therefore when he Praised this intermediate condition, for the great middle classes are the bulwark of soclety, and from the middle classes have come almost all the good that has come to bless the human race. Letme call your attention to the fact that when the meekand lowly Nazarene came among men and preached peace on earth and 200dwill toward men he was not welcomed by those who are described as people who devour widows' houses and under pretenses made long prayers; but when he gave thatgreat commandment, ‘“Love thy neighbor as thy- self,” who listened to him? The Scripture tells us it was the common people who listened to his commeandments and who welcomed him. Itis the greatest compliment ever paid to the Master. The Scriptures say the common people heard him gladly—and the common people are theonly people who have ever heard gladly any man who preached humanity and equal rights. [Prolonged cheers.] _Idon’t mean to say that ihere are no excep- tions to the general rule. There have always been found among the richer classes those Who are filled with the spirit of philanthropy. There have always veen found among them those who were willing to spend their lives in the u}:lilung of their jellows, butIam spesk- ing of the rule that reforms do not come which are not supported by those who consider them- selyes lfltegflubove the common people. Not do 1 mean that you have never found emong the common people those who would betray their fellows. You have found everywhere in every stg%e of society the character of Judas. Yet still in spite of this the common people have been the great and telling force that has lifted civilization 1o _a higher gbround. There are three forms ot Government best known among men. There is the monarchy, where the king Tules by right divine; there is the aristocracy, where a few control, and there is the democ- nlcy which means the rule of the people them- selves. =Why is it that the strength of democracy—I don’t use the term in a party sense, but in the broader sense—why isit that the strength of democracy has always been found among the common people? It is simple enough. If a man has high position or great wealth he may be able to stand and keep on the good side of the king; if he has great influence he may be one of tne rulifg classes in the aristocracy. Butyou are not willing to leave any form of government to your children except a de- mocracy in which each citizen is protected in the enjo;i_\nem of life and the pursuits of ha piness. The great common people believe in & democratic form of government because it is ouly in the democratic form of government that they are able to protect their rights and defend their interests so far as government can defend & man’s interest. Let me dwell for & moment upou the object of government in this land. Our Government derives its powers from the consent of the governed. What kind of gov- ernment will the people consent to? Only that kind of government that protects all and which knows no favoritism—a government in which every citizen stands on the plane with- out regard io position in society and without regard to wealth. [Cheers.] A government which knows equal rights to all and confers special privileges on none—that is the kind ot government that appeals to the affections of the common people. There ara two things to be considered in government. The first is that in the enact- ment of legislation you should be careful to give no advantage to one person over another person if that advantage can be prevented. It is the duty of the Government to protect all if possible, without injustice to any one. Again, government must restrain men from injuring one another; that is one of the important duties of government—to prevent men from injuring one another—and the government that to restrain the strongest from injur- ing the weakest is a government which fails to do its whole duty, I was passing through Iowa some months atg: and I got an idea from s hogs. [Laughter.] "An idea is the most important thing thata person can get into his head and we eather ideas from every source. Riding umnrg in the cars I noticed a number of hogs rooting in a fiéld and tearing up the ground. The first thought that came to me was that they were destroying a good deal of property, and that carried me back to the time when [ lived on the farm and I remembered that we had ringsin the noses of our hogs. And why 2\ Not to keep the hogs from getting fat, for we were more interested in thelr getting fatter than they were. [Laughter] The soomer they got iat the sooner we killed them and the longer they were in getting fat the longer they lived. But why were rings put in the noses of these hogs? So that while they were getting fat they would not destroy more property than they were worth. And when I thought of that this thought came to me—that one of the duties of the Government, one of the important duties of the Government, is to put rings in the noses of hoj Now, my friends, den’t consider this a refléction on your neighbor. It is possible under our form of government to b Justice and to govern as the people deserve. Ours is the best form of government, but it is possible for the people to make it so, built or the best lmelllfem:e, the highest virtue and patriotism of all the people. - But let me warn you sgainst confusing govern- ment with the abuses of government. Andrew Jackson said that there were no necessary evils in government; that evils existed only ‘in its abuses. He wasright, my friends. [Cheers.] There are 10 necessary evils in government and no man who understands the advantages of government will raise his voice against it, Itistheabuses of governmentof which we have & right to complain. There are those who ‘would denounce one critic seeing such abuses and call him a disturber. A disturber is one ‘who breeds discontent. I wantto say to you that ontent lies at the foundation of "all progress. /So long as you are satisfied you never go forward, it is only when you are dis- satisfied with your condiiions that you try two improve them. There is this difference between our form of Government and the monarchical form. If you are discontented under & monarchy you un‘retmon for relief, but your petition. ma; be disregarded. Discontent under a monarg may end in despair or it may end in revol: tion. Discontent under our form of gover: ment exds in reformation through the peace- {ful means of the ballot. Iam not going to violate the proprieties of this occasion by entering into the discussion of partisan queéstions; but I desire to call your atlention to certain broad questions which cannot be confined by Trzil nes. The ballot is the means by which the people of this country must right every wrong. And if the anmu have not the independence, if they ave not the intelligence to right their wrongs at the ballot-box they have not the courage to secure their rights in any other way. [Cheers.] But, my friends, conditions arose in this country which made it impossible for the peo- ple to use the ballot which they had. Through certain things so strong, so powerful, men were afrald to exercise freely and upon their own conscience the political rights given them underour institutions. What did they do? 1 honor the laboring man of this country and orgenized labor standing st the head of the laboring man because they secured for the ple of this country an Australian ballot. Great applause and cries of “You're all right, illie.”] That ballot did not come down to you from above; thut ballot is a result of your own demand. It is the result of your own in. fluence. The laboring man of to-day enjoys the advantage of the Australian ballot® be- cause the laboring men of this country com. r&l:ed nl:e adoption of the Australian baliot, eers. Now, my friends, among all the agencies which for the past few years have been at work im&rovh:‘ the condition and protecting the rights of this country, I believe that labor organizations d first. They have brought the laboring men together where they could compare their views, where they could unite strength, where they couid combine their in- fluences as an orgunization, and we have the laboring organizations to thank for man: blessings they have secured for you. [Prolon applause.] Now, my friends, some have crit- icized labor organizations. There are some Wwho believe that banks should join an associa- tion, that razilroads should join associations, that all wealthy corporations should join associations, but not the laboring men. Yet the laboring man’s association has M the means by which he has rotected himself in his warfare against ese other associations. The laboring organ- ization has done as much good for society as any of the other organizations have done or willdo. [Applause.] I want to speak here of the yrlnulmn of arbitration of ditficulties between employers and their employes. That principle has been forced upon the attention of American people and 1 believe In it. - Arbitration is simply an extension ot the idea of the court of justice. Ii is an fmpartial institution; an impartial tribunal before which men may come to settle their differences instead of resorting to vio- lence to settle them. Now, my.iriends, when you come to use the ballot, I want rou to re- member that that ballot was not given to you by any man who employs you. [Loud cheer- ing and cries of “We'll give it to you, ough; that's no dream.”] That ballot Was’ given 10 you by law; you nad it before he pl you. It yours aiter your employment ceases. You don’t tell him that if he does not vote according to your opinion you will quit working for him. " [Cheers and hu‘hur.i ut you have a right, as much right to tell him that as he has to tell you that you will have to quit g for him if you don't vote as he Wants you to. When Isay tbis I am not afraid of offending anybody, because if there is an employer in mh’ m.iu, who believes that he has a right by paying wages to controi the vote to whom the wages go, he is a man who can- not be offended. I have known men who thought that because they loaned a mdn money therefore as long as they heid his note he must vote as they wanted him to or risk foreclosure. 1 N0t afraid of offending any man who has that opinion, because a man who will use & loan to intimidate a citizen has not learned the genius of the institutions under which we live. I eannot impress upon you any more im- portant truth thau this: That your ballot is your own, 10 4o with it what you please, and that there is nobody that must be satisfied with your vote except your judgment and your conscience. [Cries of +*You'll be satisfied with it, Bryan.”] At this point the limb of a tree upon which a listener was sitting fell with its hu_gmn burden to the ground. Mr. Bryan said: At least the man who fell did notmake the mistake thet some men are making; he did not saw off the limb he sat on like some men who are trying to destroy the production of labor.

[Great cheering.] e HEADLED WESTWARD. the BEYAN Curious Crowds Assemble to See Nebraska Elocutionist. BURLINGTON, Iowa, Sept. 7.— Mr. Bryan, who drove quickly to the Burling- ton station from Sharpshooters’ Park by way of the Auditorium Annex, lett Chi- cago by tha 5:30 local train. It was his intention to leave by the 5:50 night express, but he learned at the sta- tion that arrangements had been made to give him a reception at Aurora, and for that reason decided to go by the earlier train and remain there until the 5:50 train came in. There were no demonstrations along the line of Mr. Bryan’s drive from Sharp- shooters’ Park to the Auditorium Annex, although he was escorted the entire dis- tance by a corps of bicyclists. The drive from the annex to the Burlington station was equally without incident. At the station Mr. Bryan became the center of a Jarge crowd, which escorted him to the train. Mr. Bryan was accom- panied from Chicago to Aurora by delega- tions of the Hickory Club and the Aurora Republican Free™ Silver Club. S. N. Hover, candidate for Congress on th Democratic and Free Silver Republican ticket, was with the Aurora contingent. Aurora was reached at6:30 and Mr. Bryan, under escort of the Hickory and Republican clubs’ delegations, walked to & stand erected near the station, where a large crowd was gathered. Mr. Bryan was cheered as he ascended the stand and made a short speech. Although the crowd that greeted Mr. Bryan at Earlville during the brief stop of his train there numbered 500 only it was very enthusiastic. Mr. Bryan spent the time sbaking hands with those who suc- ceeded in reaching the rear platform. A brass band was playing when the train reached Mendota and the cnrons that crowded the station platiorm cheere with vigor. In response to demands for a speech Mr. Bryan said there were two questions sometimes asked by his op- onents: First, If we had more money ow could we get 1t unless we had some- thing to sell. Continuning he said : The answer is that no matter how much money there is vou cannot get any of it unless Jou have something to sell. Butevery person as something tosell, and the price will de- pend on the amount of money you have to buy the goods. The only way 1o restore prosperity is to restore the power of the people to buy and consume what people have to sell. Another question is how are you going to get this money into circulation? When gold 1s taken to the mint and coined it becomes the property of the men who brought it there, and he uses it and it becomes part of the money of the country. So itis with silver. When converted into money it will be used in buying the things which are for sale, and if the sum of money is replenished so the supply is sufficlent to keep pace with the demand then the level of prices is maintained. [Ap- plause.] The crowd at Princeton was absolutely fierce in its endeavors to shake hands with the Democratic ‘candidate. Men fought wildly to reach bim, shoutine all the time. Anothershort speech was made by Mr. Bryad there, Through the fact that Mr. Bryan’s car stopped at s point saveral hundred feet distant from where the crowd had gath- cred at Kewanee station the 2000 people there became a howling mob as they rushed down the tracks toreach tbe vicin- ity of the Democratic candidate. Men, women and boys engaged in a dis- orderly race to be first on the spot. Greek fire was burned, and, as it lighted up the darkness of the night and brought into relief the mass of humanity sprinting from front to rear of the train, the scene presented was widely picturesque. An- other address was made by the nominee, which he concluded as the train drew out. Galesburg’s reception to Mr. Bryan was exceedingly enthusiastic. The crowd was large and had some good shouters. Mr. Bryan was conveyed to a flatcar beside the train, and after being intreduced by L. M. Thompson, president of the Trades Assem- bly, he made a short speech. Galesburg furnished the biggest crowd that gathered to see Mr. Bryan during his night’s journey, fully 6000 people being present. It was only after a severe atrug- gle that the candidate succeeded in reacg- ing the truck, and even a greater effort was required to get back again. Monmouth, reached at 10:45 o'clock, was the last place where Mr. Bryan spoke to-night. The crowd was large and cheered without stint. It was 11:40 when the train reached Burlington, but the throng there was large and gave the nominee a cordial greeting, R NEGRO DEMOCRATS CALL. 2Members of the National League Assure Bryan of Support. CHICAOG, I, Sept. 7.—A delegation representing the National Negro Demo- cratic League called on William J. Bryan at the Auditorium annex this morning, W. T. Scott, president of the league, headed the delezation and addressing Mr. Bryan assured him of the colored man’s support and his sympathy with s revenue tariff and free silver. Mr. Bryan responded briefly, remarking that it was a healthy sign to see the negro breaking away from his old-time relations with the Republicans and acting independently., vernor Altgeld spent a coupie of hours at National Democratic headquar- ters conferring with Senator Jones and Mr. Bryan and members of the Nation al Committee. A. M. Hereford, secretary of the Iilinois Democratic Editoral Association, wrote to headquarters saying he had received letters from all the newspaper editors of the State, and without exception they stated the cause of silver was in the best condition and recruits were coming rapid- ly from the Republican ranks. g WATSON LAMPOONS SEWALL. Declares ;That His Maine Rival is a Goldbug, DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 7.—Hon. Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, Populist candidate for Vice-President, to-day addressed about 4000 persons at the State Fair grounds. The occasion was a Labor-day celebra- tion, but Mr. Watson seemed to have for- gotten this, as he said nothing concerning labor, but devoted his speech to Populist political doctrines almost exclusively. Mr. Watson was especially severe in his denunciation of the Democratic party, but said practically nothing ageainst the Re- publicans. He lampooned the Hon. Arthur Sewall, Democratic nominee for Vice-Presiaent, character:zing him as the incarnation of all that is venal in politics andy as the prominent Republican repre- sentative of monopolies and the money power, - - He declared that Sewall went to the Chicago convention not only as a national ban ker but as a goldbug at heart, and was at that time personally supporiing a gold- standard Democrat for the governorship of Maine. 3 4 Mr. Watson declared that he was in this fizht to a finish and that he will not retire from the race for Vice-President in Mr. Sewall’s favor; that if Bryan is defeated Sewall will be to blame, and that if Bryan wins it raust be because Watson wins also. “8o0 long as Tom Watson lives the Peo- le’s party shall not die,” was one of Mr. E’Vnson’a emphatic declarations. The speaker reviewed the course of political events since the Democratic pnr:{y came into Nationdl power and could discover nothing good in the record. He lashed the railroads for attempting to coerce em- ployes into joining sound-money clubs. He spoke in complimentary terms of Mr. Bryan, saying that no railroads or other monopoly or corporation had ever controlled or can control him, and that the same could be said of Tom Watson. Before the meeting a parade of labor or- ganizations was held throughout the city. prins Rt Stevenson May Talk. CHICAGO, Irn, Sept. T.—Vice-Presi- dent Stevenson arrived in the city to-day from Mackinae, with his fam\fly. He called at Democratic National headquar- ters and spent more than two hours in conference with Chairman Jones. He also conferred with Charles 8. Thomas, National C ommitteeman from Colorado. It was officially stated that it is thought Mr. Stevenson will make several speeches for Bryan 1n Illinois and other States. The Vice-President made many inquiries regarding the situation in Illinois, In- aiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and the Pacific States, and was pleased to hear good reports from all of them. He said he would remain in Chicago several days. e~ Bynum Ready for Business. CHICAGO, Irr., Sept. 7.—8. W. D. By- num, chairman of the National Demo- cratic Committee, arrived in Chicago to- night from’ Indianapolis and registered at the Palmer House. The special pur- pose of his visit is to select headquarters for the campaign committee which has the Paimer and” Buckner ticket in charge. He said he had been detained at Indi- anapolis, arranging for the dual notifica- tion meeting to be held in Louisville next Saturday. Headquarters will be chosen in a day or two, and the Palmer House will probably be the place. * DARING MARINERS WRECKED. The Twenty-Foot Craft of the Charlsen Brothers Is Seen Bottom Up Off the Irish Coast. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 7.—Two more venturesome sailors have come to grief in an effort to beat the record on a hazardous sailing across . the Atlantic. Their boat, a twenty-foot craft with a leg- o’-mutton sail and two small jibs, was sighted about two weeks ago rocking in the waves, bottom up, about 350 miles off the Irish coast, and it is simply a guess as to what became of the two sailors who ‘were aboard her, The daring sailors were Captain Frank Charisen, forinerly a_mate on John Jacob Astor’s yacht, the Nourmahal, and his brother John. They were Norwegians by birth, but became American citizens about a yesr ago. They hailed from Nyack, whence they sailed away in the little craft that few men would cross the sound in. Their boat was just 20 feet over all, with 6 feet 8 inches beam and drew 26 inches of water. She was double-joinied and sup- plied with an air-chamber at each end, supposed to make ber unsinkable, She bad a heavy lead keelto keep her right side up in.any kind of weather, and for propelling power she had two pairs of oars carried a small mainsail, jib and fly- ing-jib. E‘ge Charlgens left this port in their lit- tle craft Sunday, June 21, ennouncing that they would make Queenstown as the first port, and that then the course would be tbhe Isle of Wight, Southampton, London, Hamburg, Bremen, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Bergen, Hull, Leith, by canal to Edinburgh, then Glasgow, Newport- in ‘Wales, Cork. Belfast, Londonderry and back to New York, where they expected to arrive and be greeted as heroes in the sumuner of 1897. EAST RIVER WALL COLLAPSES. Caves In With a Crash That Startles People for Blocks Around and Causes a Panic. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 7.—The un- dermining of the rear wall at the East River end of Fifty-second street caused about twenty feet of the street and about 1000 cubic feet of the wall to cave in and to topple over into the river, with a crash that startled the neighborhood for several blocks around, last evening at 7:150’clock. At the veryedge of the enormous pit made by the cave-in stands the towering wall of a cigarette factory. The roar of the landslide brought hun- dreds of peoplie to the scene, and it was with great difficulty that the police kept the crowd from blindly rushing in upon dangerous ground to view the wreckage. Excitement was intensified by the rumor that some persons were buried beneath the mass of earth and stone. In thecrowd were over 100 girls who work in the cigar- ette factory and had rushed to the scene, believing that the factory building had fallen down. =The wall which broke away was about 0 feet from the river brink to the level of the street. Its entire face, with the ex- ception of a narrow strip near the south sidewalk was washed away, and what did not slip into the river was piled in a con- fused mass at the river edge. Tons of earth and cobblestones fell upon & boathouse and two skiffs belonging to a boatman, crushing them like eggshells, The cave-in on the north side of the street extended clear up to the walls of the cigarette factory and almost its entire length. Nothing but the stout walls and :nmive masonry of the foundation saved t. An investigation showed that the rain: of yesterday and the day before lm;l soaked and bulged out the old wall, which had been insecure for several years. Sev- e{-l persons had just stepped away from the seawall and ‘were but 200 feet away when the crash came. g HOT FIGHITING IN CUBA., Both dides Suffer Surprises and Defeats. Arrests at Bavana.
