2 inasmuch as Los Angeles had appeared before the board with a raise of 30 per cent, San Francisco should do as much. It had increased its roll about 5 per cent, and if his motion was cerried he thought it would equalize matters between the two counties. Chesebrough remarked that the roll of Los Angeles County had been increased because its Assessor had promised the board to do so lastyear. He thought the raise was pretty big, and did not think it fair to aliow Los Angeles to set the pace for San Francisco. There was no second to Arnold’s mo- tion, and Beamer moved to raise San Francisco 20 per cent. This was seconded by Morekeuse and the motion was carried. Ayes—Arnold, Beamer, Morehouse. Noes—Chesebrough, Colgan. Beamer then moved to raise Alameda County 10 per cent, but there was no sec- ond, and Arnold moved to raise it 5 per cent, saying that this, he thought, would bring it on a par with Los Angeles. More- house seconded the motion and it was ear- ried. Arnold, Beamer and Morehouse voted aye, Colgan voted no, and Chese- brough refused to vote. Arnold moved to decrease Monterey 5 ver cent. Colgan raised the point that 5 per cent amounted to so little that it was scarcely worth the time and trouble of figuring the rolls. Morehouse seconded Arnold’s motion. Ayes—Arnold, Beamer, Morehouse, Col- gan. Noes—Chesebrough. Beamer next moved to raise Sacramento 10 per cent. Morehouse said that Sacra- mento’s total was $33,000,000. Of this about $3,000,000 was for business property along J and K streets. With the excep- tion of the business praperty Sacramento was well assessed and he thought it would be bard to raise the whoie county 10 per cent in order to get the business property up to nearer its true value. As there was no second to Beamer’s motion Arnold moved to raise Sacramento 5 per cent. This was seconded by Morehouse. Ayes—Arnold, Beamer, Chesebrough, Meorehouse. Noes—Colgan. By the same vote San Bernardino County was raised 5 per cent. Chesebrough then successively moved to raise Buite and Solano counties, but could get no seconds. He then moved to raise Santa Clara 10 per cent, which was amended by Arnold to 5 per cent -and the amendment carried, Arnold, Beamer and Morehouse voting aye and Chesebrough and Colgar voting no. San Diego County was decreased 5 per cent by unanimous vote of the board. A motion to reconsider Alameda was carried, but resulted in no change of the raise of 5 per cent. A motionto reconsider San Diego was carried, and on final action its assessment was reduced 10 per cent, Morehouse, Col- gan and Arnold voting aye and Beamer and Chesebrough no. Chesebrough moved to increase Ban Mateo 16 per cent. The couaty had been cited before the board, and there was no second to the motion. The board adjourned to give the secre- tary time to fizure up the rate of the tax levy, and half an hour iater this was an- nounced as 42.9. Without increases by the board the tevy would have been 2cents higher than this. The board’s action has increased the total assessed property of the State $74,- 113,818, . WHAT IT MEANS. San Francisco Must Pay Tawes on $64,- 481,478 of Increased Valuation. The raising of the total valuation of 8an Francisco property 20 per cent means that the citizens of this City must pay taxes on $64,481,476 more than Assessor Siebe found to assess. According to the figures as they were es- tablished by the Board of Bupervisors after the Assessor was through with them the total valuation of taxable property in this City for City and State purposes was $357,586,126, but as it now stands the City must pay on $422,067,604. The real-estate roll of $275,854,295 is raised 10 §330,401,154, and the personal property roli ot $47,073,- 097 to $56,487,716. There is $35,178,734 in personal property and real estate exempt from the raise, By these figures, if the State rate is the same as last year, San Francisco must bear an additional burden of about $350,- 000 to assist in paying State expenses. Assessor Siebe was a pretty angry man when seen last evening in regard to the raise and expressed himself freely on the subject. ‘It looks to me as though this was a move on the part of the railroad com- pany, through its friends Morehouse and Beamer,” he said, “for the railroad will benefit most by this unwarranted raise. “This is an injustice that it is d to speak too strongly about. In spite of hard times and depression in values we raised valuations about $30,000,000 over last year, and even leaving out the amount assessed to the banks and claimed by them to be exempt the increase amounts to $24.000,000, yet we are raised over $64,000,000 more simply because if 8an Francisco is given a big raise the Btate rate will be lower. The larger por- tion of the railroad property is outside of 8Ban Francisco. We assessed this Oity with more than usual care this year and I do not think the valuation shounld be rased one dollar, much less $64,000,000.” Auditor Broderick was also indignant when he heard through a telegram from Sacramento that the valuation of San Francisco property had been given such a heavy raise. “Well, the job went through this time where it failed at others,’” he said, “and those who expect to made capital by saddling a big slice of the State expenses on 8an Francisco have had their way. “It looks to me as though some of those ople at Sacramento were afraid that the tate would not get all of its money out of Ben Francisco, in spite of the fact that, leaving out all doubtful assessments, our total valuation was over $20,000,000 more than last year. It appears as though the whole thin, rested with Arnold of Los Angeles, an that he was not there when wanted. “This will work a big hardship on many oor people in this City, whose pmper?’ day is not worth a dollar more than it is assessed for, and who will be badly crowded to pay 20 per cent more than they are already assessed.’” am simply astonished,” said Super- vieor Taylor, chairman of the Finance Committee, “that the State Board of Equalization should have dared to put this outrage on San Francisco. Valua- tions, except in a few instances where the Assessor’s figures were very materially al- tered, were fully as much as they should bave been, and "the State’s poriion at the rate that was established last year would have been $150,000 greater than last year, “I suppose there is no way out of it now, and we will have to pay a good por- tion of the State’s expenses.” ki Dl o sl 08 Becomes Bishop of Washingfon. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 8.—Rignt Rev. Edward J. O’Dea was to-day consecrated Bishop of Washington, at Vancouver, Wash.

SEATTLE, WasH., Sept. 8.—Apropos of the establishment of a Japanese steamship line between Seattle and the Orient Alex- ander Craw of San Francisco, entomologist and quarantine officer, has written to J. k. Cass, secretary of the Washington Btate Board of Horticulture, that the steamship Miike Mara, which arrived in port from Yokohama a few days ago, had as part of its careo two Japanese plants “badly in- fested with the destruciive scale Diaspis lanatus,” said to be most destructive to fruit and horticultural interests. Craw concludes: ““The arrival of those steamers in your State is a source of danger and you should have a good quarantine officer stationed there to examine all plante and trees.” g Affray Near Benicia, BENICIA, CaL., Sept. 8.—The steamer Dauntiess, en route to Stockton from San Francisco, carrying about 500 passengers, was in possession of a few hoodlums to-nignt.” Between San Francisco and Benicia a row occurred between seven white men and a number of Chinamen, resulting in the serious if not fatal injury of a Chinese foreman and the fatal injury of William Lennox, an emplove of the 8.

Temperance Rally Followed by a *Camp Fire” of Army Veterans. PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Sept. 8.—The Calitornia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will begin its annual session here at § o’clock to-morrow morn- ing. Mapy clergymen and their families are here, andjat present the number of people attracted by the conference bids fair to exceed tnat of last year. Bishop C. D. Foss of Philadelphia, who will preside over and direct the conference, is here. He has presided at over 120 con- ferences. To-night the conference temperance an- niversary was held, The Methodist Church was crowded to the gallery, and very fervent were the amens that respond- ed to the points and periods of the speak- ers. The principal address was deiivered by Rev. 8. J. Carroll, D.D., of East Qak- land. He expressed great confidence that the church would ultimately triumph in the fight against the saloon. Another address was delivered by Rev. F. D. Bovard, D.D,, of Alameda on *“The Anti- Saloon League.” This is a new temper- ance organization which was indorsed by the last general conference of the church. After the temperance rally there was a “camp" fire in the church, at which most of the large audience remained. The Army Veterans’ Club of the conference holds a reunion at each annual session. The membership of the club is comroaed of ministers and laymen who were soldiers in the late Civil War. About thirty veterans sat on the pulpit. The following was the Opening address, Comrade E. president; “The Solidier in His Teens,” Comrade Eli McClish; “The Martial Bpirit of Methodism,” Comrade E. D. Mec- Creary; “The Loyal Women During the Late War,” Mrs. Comrade G. D. Kellogg. The active committee in connection with the camp fire was Comrades A. T. Need- ham, W. F. Warren and Jan.es Williams. The camp fire was followed by a collation to invited guests only. R. Dille, e COACHING PARTY DISASTER. Si® Persons Killed and Four Badly Hurt by an Upset.

WORDS, WORDS BY | WILLIAM BRYAN Busy Day of the Nebraskan After His Return to Lincoln, NOTIFIED BY SILVERITES" Accepts the Nomination on Be- half of Himself and Sewall. NEW ARGUMENTS ADVANCED. Peculiar Attempt to Justify Republi- cans in Bolting the St. Louis Convention. LINCOLN, NeBR., Sept. 8.—The National silver party, through its regularly ap- pointed committee to-night, formally notified William J. Bryan of his nomina- tion by its convention at St. Loms.” The ceremonies attending the notification were in strong contrast to those with the meet- ing at Madison-square Garden last month, when Mr. Bryan and Sewall were officially informed that tbey were the choice of the Chicagzo convention. Instead of the spacious auditorium with its boxes and galleries, to-night’s function took place in the open air on the plaza and lawn in front of Nebraska’s State Capitol building. With the exception of those seated in a few score of chairs on the speaker’s plat- form and directly in front of it, all the audience was standing. The only thing in common with the Madison-square meet- ing was the heat, which while not nearly of tbe intensity of thatin New York on the night of August 12, coming aftera cool spell was sufficient to be uncomfort- able. The big electric light above the stand developed u plague ol pestiferous bugs, much to the discomfort of the members of the notification committee and the others gathered on the stand. But the most marked difference between to-night’s cere- monies and those in New York wasthe fact that Mr. Bryan did not read his speech in answer to the information for- mally given by the committee of the Sil- ver party. He made a speech neither long nor short, without the aid of notes, and was frequently applauded. Lincoln’s appreciation of Mr. Bryan’s second visit home since his nomination was shown by indefatigable parading of free-silver clubs. The display of fireworks ana frequent exercise of lung power through tin horns and the good old-fash- ioned yell. A bigcrowd received the can- didate on his arrival from Chicago this morning, and he was escorted to his home bv brass bands and campaign organiza- tions. There wers more brass bands and a larger number of marching clubs in a parade that accompanied Mr. Fryan later in the day tothe State Honse, where a good-gized audience assembled to hear him deliver a political address. To-night a tiird parade occurred, and flambeau clubs and organizations of mounted men bearing transparencies and torches and firing skyrockets and Roman candles gave vent to their political enthu- siasm in a way that borderea on delirium. It was 9 o'clock before the first of the flaring flambeaus heading the candidate’s escort were spied by those at the Capitol as their bearers turned into Fifteenth street, the thoroughfare leading to the stand, Twenty minutes later Mr. Bryan ap- peared on the platform and the crowd in- creased with great rapidity after the pro- cession was under way, and cheered him repeatedly as his well-known figure was recognized. The space in front of the stand and for several hundred feet was black with people. Norris Humphrey of Lincoln called the assemblage to order, and in a few words presented George A. Groot of Ohio, chairman of the committee appointed by the National Silver Conven- tion to notify Mr. Bryan of his nomina- tion by that body. The other mem- bers of the notification committee and their alternates, a number of whom were present, are: R. H. Walker, Alabama; F. J. Moflitt, W. Pardy, California; J. H. Brown, C. G. Litzer, Colorado; A. Troup, Connecticut; H. B. Hedson, Delaware; C. Strong, 8. 8. Biddison, Illinois; M. A. Costello, W. Grexg, Indiana; C. C. Cole, H. White, Towa; J. W.

Ralfshyder, B. Butcher, West Virgini % Hoard, R. E. Douglass, Wisconsin;, H. J. White, Arizona; J. E. Gibbons, Indian Territory; H. Kilburn, J. D. Rhodes, District of Columbia. After talking for an hour in support of iree coinage Mr. Groot concluded as follows: 5 The Silver party in convention essembled adopted & platform which presents the issues involved in this umplign more clearly and definitely and cogently than any other plat- form that has been presented to the P‘ople. The platforms of these different parties and the aiscussions, public and private, that are now going on in this couniry upon the money question, 1he only one that is involved in this campaign, clearly indicate that the people are beginning to understand that question and that they propose this year to assert their political independence of all political organi- zations and political bosses and vote in their own interest and in the interest of good gov- ernment, and stamp out the “British gold standard” in this country, root and branch. Turning to Bryan Mr. Groot said: Hon. William Jennings Bryan: The National Silver Convention witn a uuanimity unex- Amglad in the history ot National conventions in this country, numinated you as the candi- date of the National Silver party for the dis- tinguished office of President of the United States. You are now the candidate for the great office of President of three great political mu. of which the Silver party is not the The convention selected a committee to formally notify you of its action, and thatcom- mittee confarrfllA upon me the distinguished honor of advising you of your nomination as the candidate of the National Sliver party for nited States. We are met, therefore, at this time and for the pnr;on of performing the pleasant duty i upon us by the convention. I there- fore, in obedience to the wishes of the com- mitiee of that convention, hereby formally notify you that you have been nominated by the National Silver party as its candidate for P“m"“' 03 and request that you accept that n tion in the same spirit in which it has been tenaered you. Yfl are now the n:'ogn eommsr:fl:rm of & grand army com posed Tee gran ons which is now mobilizing for the purpose of fighting in behalf of humanity on November 3, , the most important political battle of this or of any other age; a batile which is to determine whether this Nation shall be a Province of Great Britain and be governed and controlled as that nation is by the meney barons of Europe or whether it shall be as the futbers intended it to be, a iree and independ- ent and Sovereign nation. The peopie Who constitute that grand army, inspired as they are by the noblest sentiments ©of patriotism, under your leadership will, there can bemno dourbl,yon that d_nyurv. high their banners in triumph over tue ted allfed hosts of plutoeracy. It was 10:20 o’clock when Mr. Groot con- clnde{ldnnd Mr. Bryan began his speech. e said: Mr. Chairman, chairman ofgthe notification pariy and members of that committee: I beg toreply at this time without the formality of a letter. The platform adopted by the silyer convention contains but one plank, and that plank, the plank upon the money question or upon tne silver question, is identical in sub- stance with thesilver plank of the Chicago latform. As 1 have aiready discussed at iength that plank and it will notbe necessary to enter into any extended discussion at this time, I beg to assure the committee that I ac- Cept the nomination so generously tendered by them on behalf of the Silver party in the SDirit in which that nomination was tpre- sented. [Cheers.] Ican appreciate the feel. ing which animated those who assembled in that convention, 1can appreciate the hesita- tion in which they assembled there and turned their backs upon the party with which they had been associated. I know something of the strength of the l)lltlel, because I was in & position where laoked forward to a possibility of Jike action on my own part. I can appreciate the depths of a conviction that led them to place the fn- terests of their country above the weifare of their party. [Long cheering and shouts of “Good.”"] Klore than & year ago, when we Were engaged in a struggle (o bring the Demo- cratic party to an indorsement of free coinage, the question was put to me whether, in case of fallure, I would support the Democratic nominee if he were on & gold standard plat- form. I never believed that such action was probable in the Democratic party, but when ihose who guestioned me were not content with probabilities, but asked again whether in the case of that event I wouid suppori the nominee I'said, as you will remember, that under no circumstances would my vote be @iven to the man who would in the executive office use his influence to fasten the gold stand- ard upon the American people. [Great cheer- ing.] {convlet(onl upon this subject are not shallow convictions. 1 may be in_error, my iriends; none of us can claim infallibility. But we haye experience of history {0 guide us and our judgment and our consciences, and I stand where the members of the silver conven- tion stood. I would rather have the approv- &l of my conscience than the spplause of the entire earth. I may be in error, but I believe that the gold standard is a conspiracy against the human race. [Cheers.] Iwould no sooner join the ranksof those whose purpose is to fasten that upon the people ‘than to enlist in an army that was marching to attack my home and kill my family. '[Rencwed cheering] 1 can say, therefore, that 1 can appreciate the spirit which animated those who have just tendered me this second nominetion, and "I can there- fore accept it in the spirit in which they pre- sent it. And I pledge them that if elected they s never have cause to accuse me of being false to that trust. [More cheering.] My friends, when I declared that I would not support a gold standard candidate I was standing upon the history of the Democratic party. I was defending its principles as well as the interests of the country ar large. And when these Republicans who assembled in the silver convention at St Louis refused to worship the golden image which their party had set up they were defending the history of the Republican party. [Applause] The Re- Buhllcln platform of 1888 denounces the emocratic administration for having at- tempted to degrade silver. Aud in 1891 on the 11th day of February in Memorial Hall at Toledo, Ohio, on the Lincoln day bauguet, the present candidate for Presidentupon the Re- publican ticket used the words which I shall now read to you. I have found these words g:l:lllhed in a Toledo paper, and they have en published so long without correction that we may safely assume that he was cor- rectly reported. If he shall deny the correct- ness of this report Ishall hasten 10 do him justice by retracting these words. These are the words which he is said to have used: “During all of Grover Cleveland’s years at the head of the Government he was dishonor- ing one of our precious metals, one of our own greaz products—discrediting silver and en-| ancing the price of geld. He endeavored even Beiore his inauguration to office to stop the coinage of silver dollars, and afterward and to the end of his administration persist- ently used his power to that end. He was de- termined to contract the circulating medium and demovetize one of the coius of commerce, limit the volume of money among the people, meake money scarce and therefore dear. He would have increased the value of money and diminished the value of everything else— money’ the masier, everything else the sei- | vant” [Great cheering.] Following these same lines the Republican Convention in 15892 declared at Minneapolis that the American people, from tradition and interest, were in favor of bimetallism. [A voice, “That’s so.] That is the language in 1892 that the American people, from tradition ana interest, are in favor of bimetallism. Have traditions changed in four years? [A voice, “No.”] Have iuterests changed in four years? [A voice, “No.””] No, my friends, and yet, forgetting the platiorm of 1880, forgeiting the denunciation uttered by their distin- guished leader in 1891, forgetting tne plat- torm of 1892, the Republican party in conven- tion assembled declared that the Amer.can people must forego the advantages of the bi- metallic system to which tradition and inter- est indorsed them until foreign nations should bring these advantages to them. [Applause.] | Iuis not’strange that men who had looked ior bimetallism in the Repubiican pariy should h.l\"elmven up hope and turned elsewhere for relief, z These Republicans cannot be criticized for leaving the Republicen party. They havedone what every American citizen has a Tight to do. They have done better than our Demoecratic advocates of the gold standard have done, be- cause these Republicans when they left the party joined with those who had & chance to succeed, while our Democraticadvocates of the gold standard sought to secure the election of & Republican, McKinley, by nominating a Democratic candidate. [Cries of “That’s s0.”] To show you that the action of these Republi- cans is défended by experience and by exam- ple, let me carry you back to the period just preceding the war.” If you will turi: to & book recently published, eniitied “John Sherman’s Recoilections” [laugnter], you wiil ind on page 112 of the first volume s portion of a speech which he delivered in Congress in 1856. Let me read this extract: “T am willing to stand by the compromises of 1820 and 1850; hut when our Whig brethren | of the South allow this administration to lead them off from their principles, when they abandon the position which Henry Clay would have taken, forget hLis mname and achievements and decline any longer to carry his banuer, they lose all their claims on me. And I'say now that until this wrong is righted, until Kansas is aamitted as a free State, I cannot act in party association with them.” There was the distinguished Senator from Onio asserting to the people of this country upon the floor of Congress that he was willing 1o accept compromise after compromise, but that the time had at last come when he could g0 with them no longer; that until certain things were accomplished he could not act with thew. The gituation to-day is but a repe- tition of history. Compromise #fter compro- mise has been lubmllws to by these silver Re- publicans in the hope that the party of their choice and love would a: last bring to the people the relief which they desired. But the Republicen party, as in 1856, has been led off by another administration, until it has deserted its tradidous and its platform, and these Republicans have a right to say to their Republican associaies, “‘We will 0 with you no longer until this Nation is re- eemed.” [Applause.] ‘We do not ask those who present this nomi- nation to pledge their future services to the Democratic party. The same intelligence which directs them to-day in the discharge of this duty wili be with them four years from nOwW to direct them then in the discharge of the duties that will then arise. The same patriotism that leads them to-day in what they do will be with them four years from now to guide and direct them. We trust them now, we shall trust them then. The Democratic gmy has proven itself worthy of their contl. lence to-day and it receives their support. If four years from now it proves unworthy of their Confidence it should not then have their support. [Applause and cries of “That’s right; that's the way to talk.”] The chairman of the notification committee has told you that we have to meet to-day a frut money trust. Heis right. We are con- ronted to-day by the most gigantic trust that has ever been formed among men. Talk about trust in various articles which we produce! My friends, all these trusts together 1all into insignificance when eompared with the money trusts which has its bands upon our country. A voice: “That's so.”] Place the controi of the standard money of the world in the hanas of a few E““ financiers and times will be good for them, no matiter what distress may overtake the rest of mankind. I believe that John G. Carlisle did not exaggerate the truth Wwhen he said: ‘“The consummstion of this scheme means more of misery to the human’ race than all the wars, pestilences and famines that ever occurred inthe history of the world.” Who does not stand appalled before misery like that ? Who among you is willing to be a psrtner in a conspirs t Las for 1ts object Lhe consummation of that scheme? [A voice— me 5o uentiy and so fore described that the mver Republicans b-v{ arisen in protest. I res t the convictions which have led them. Ithank you for the support which they have tendered and all that I can promise is that I shall, to the best of mv ability, endeavor to prove worthv of their con- fidence. [Applnule.]P After Mr. Bryan concluded Mr. Harrine- ton of the notification committee notified bim of Mr, Sewall’s nomination and’ the Presidential candidate made a brief re- sponse, accepting in behalf of his running mate. et AN AFTERNOON ORATION. Bryan Talks About the Rule of Trusts and Syndicates. LINCOLN, Nesg., Sept. 8.—In the after- noon a mass-meeting was held in front of the State Capitol building. A parade composed of Bryan flambeau clubs, free silver clubs, some in uniform and some in plain dress, and floats bearing free silver devices were in attendance. The parade formed at City Hall square and escorted Mr. Bryan to the State House. He rode with Mrs. Bryan, Lawrence Humphrey, chairman of the local reception commit- tee, and George A. Groat, chairman of the National Silver Notification Committee. As the head of the procession neared the Capitol grounds a salute was fired by a volunteer battery. The stand from which Mr. Bryan spoke had been erected on the north front of the State House. It was covered with bunting, and the walls of the building were also decorated. A large photograph of the Democratic nominee above the platform was rivaled by many little photographs of McKinley and Hobart, which some of the Repab- lican State officeholders had placed in the windows of their offices and then gone away after locking the aoors, Among those who had seats on the stage were John A. Creighton of Omaha, John I Martin of Missouri, who was sergeant-at- arms of the Democratic National Conven- tion, Governor Holcomb of Nebraska, Ignatius Donnelly, Chairman George A. Groat and a numberof the members of the Bilver party notification committee. Five thousand people crowded the grounds, in the hot sun, about the stand, and cheered repeatedly as Mr. Bryan appeared. He was introduced by E. E. Brown, a former Republican and president of the First National Bank of Lincoln. Mr. Bryan said: Laaies and gentlemen: Iam only going ot talk to you a little while. There are others here who are prepared to discuss the issues of the campaign in your presence, and 1 8m_try- ing to do as little work as possible. I think I have been doing my share so far as time is con- cerned. [Cries of ““You are right.”] It is now just about one month since I left Nebraska and turned eastward. esting trip. I want to assure you that the sentiment in favor of the free coinage of silver is & growing sentiment. EAppltule.] It far surpassed my expectations in the East, and I found among those people the producers of wealth, the farmers and the laborers, who are joining with you to free themselves from the domination of those financial institutions which have controlied our legisiation and our financial policies. [Applllue.} You will find 1n the very shadow of Wall street as bitter hatred to the influences from which you have suffered as you will find among the farmers of Nebraska [applause], and all through the East I found farmers who had been Republicans who were openly sup- porting the iree coinage of silver and were as- serting that they had as much right toattend to their business as the New York banker had to attend to his business. [Applause.] As against the maintenance of a gold standard, either for one dey or forever, the Democratic party has declared for the immediate restora- tion of the money of the constitution. [Ap- plause.] The Silver party and the Populist varty have joined with the Lemocratic party in moking this the paramount issue of the campaign. Our opponents began the cam- paign by asserting that the American people were not able 10 esiablish bimetallism, and when they found a revolt among the Ameri- can people against such a policy they Com- menced a system of coercion and terrorizing, insisting that the masses of the people even have not the right to determine what kind of policy they want. [Applause.] This terrorism and coercion is manifested in two ways. In the first place the heads of many great corporations are undertaking to compel their employes to support the goid standard. My friends. if the heads of those corporations as- sert the right o control the votes of those who work for them we have presented to the American people even a greater question than the siiver question. [Applause.] 1f a corpora- tion has the right to control the vote of an employe on one question, it has the right to coutrol it on every other question. [Criesof “Right you are!” and applause.] My friends, do you tnink you are undera government of the people? I want to ask you what will be the resultif we get to be a gov- ernment by banks. [Applause.] If we could trust our affairs to a New York banker we might endure it for a time, but when you re- member that the New York banker is under the contro! of the London banker I ask yon to reflect before you submit the destinies of a free peobie to a few financiers. [Applause.] It has been an inter- ‘We had a failure in this city faflure which, 10 my ‘gudzmenl, was largely due to the sale of bonds and to the fact tnat the Eastern bank was drawing in money from circulation, from business, from the channels ot trade toinvest in Government bonds. If, my friends, you have a financial policy which permits a few financiers to close your banks at will and swallow up your deposits and impov- erish your people I want to ask you if it is not time for you to consider whether this cannot be stopped. [Cheers.] We have been told that we cannot borrow money from abroad unless we have a financial system that is satisfactory to the reopis abroad. My iriends, you let them control your finanetal system and you will never see & time when you can get out of the clutches of those who are dominating your financial policy. [Greatcheering.] Talk about arraying one class against an- other! Iwant to ask you why it is that every Democrat who is interested in a syndicate or & trust or has a salary from a railroad cor- rornnon that is more than his other property want to ask you why they are all arrayed against the Democratic party? [Cheers.] Why is it? Itis because the Democratic party has declared against the issue of bonds in time of peace and the trafficking with syndicates. [“Thav’s right.” from the crowd.] It’is because the Democratic party is opposed to the trusts and the prices which the trusts have insti- tuted. It is because the Democratic party be- lieves in the control, the regulation and the restriction of all corporations so that they will serve the purpose for which they were allowed to exist. [Great cheeriug.] If those connected witn trusts are flocking together in the Republican party may we not appeal 10 all the smaller business men who have felt the iron heel of the trust and who have been driven out of business by its unlaw- ful competition? [Cheers.] If we are to lose all the attorneys of these great trusts [A cry of “Let them go'’] may we not appeal with confiderce to the support of the people who have been plundered by these trusis while their attorneys have received a part of the plunder? [Cheers and shouts of “Yes,”] We are not responsible for the arraying of one class against another. These people have Ge- fined the business class to be a few of notthe pro- ducers of wealth but the exchangers of wealth, or those who try to corner our wealth, an they are (rylng to array them against the rest of the Heople. epublican platform in the State of New ast winter; a The York said that we ought to have a business administration conducted by business men in behalf of the business interests of the country. What do they mean by that? Do they call farmers business men? [Cheers and cries of “No.”] Oh, no; simply producers of wealth. But if a man goes on the Board of Trade and makes more in an hour betting on the price of What you raise than you make in a year he be- comes & business man. These people who have attempted to array a few of the people against the rest of the people and who have insisted that the affairs of this Government should be put in the hands of a few men—when we have complained what euphonious names they have given touel They have been caliing us dis- turbers of the public peace and they have ;fll::' ’m anarchists, my friends. [Greatap- My friends. these terms sumply express th contempt which they have for the great mass of the people of this country, [Cries +They’ve been doing it for twenty-five years.” ‘Thesé names n:ey call us simply prove that they are not willing to trust zl‘:a destinies of this Republic in the hands of the people who have created its wealth in times olp peace and Whohave fought its battles in times of war. [Cheers.] Show me these people wio now call us anerchists and I will show you & class of people who, if we had war, would never go to the front, but they are tie very people who lllndet;t}lole who would fight the h“tl“‘: save their own property. [Applause an o < property. [App! Mr. Bryan said that when he was called a distarber of the public peace it was grati- iying to meet the t r’epr: of hisown city Who indorse him as one they were willing to trust. He said he expected a majority of this—Lancaster—county, and a ma- ority of not less than 25,000 in Nebraska. “He thought even this majority was not large enough. Continuin -, he said: My friends, gentlemen down in New York called attention to the fact that sentiment was &ll on our side In this campaign, and one man said that a man could now write a poem in favor of syndicates runaing the business of 4 this country. [Applause.] Do you know what word rhymes vsngpsyndia]ne‘l tis hate, and you cannot write a poem and you cannot sing asong in favor of the syndicates controlling the financial policies of this Nation because while their policy applies to hate, the man who thinks and the heart of the man who feels the force of the financial policy that has been forced upon this country which they want to continue until foreign 1ations come to our aid and assistance. It is a sentiment that appesls to the pocket-book. and overshadows the ap- al to the best feeling of man. [Applause.] 'ow I must stop or I will makea speech. [Cries of “Go on, we haven’t half enough.”] You know that I would haie awfully to have the New York paperssay that I had driven an auafence away in my own town. Prolonged cheering followed t'e con- clusion of Mr. Bryan’s speech, He was followed by Mr. Groat, and the assemblage dispersed. e e THOUSANDS OF VOTES LOUST. Republicans Badly Cheated in Arkansas by the Democrats. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 8.—Returns received at Republican headquarters from ‘Washington, Woodruff, Carroll, Lonoke, Crawford, Jackson, Pulaski, Ouachita, Se- bastian, White and Desha counties show a net Republican gain of 4201 over the vote of two years ago. These figures in main- tained throughout the State will increase the Republican vote over 1894 by 20.009 and place the entire vote for the Republi- can ticket at 46,000, an increase of 23 per cent. Returns from Prairte, Drew, Ashley, Washington, Crawford, Greene, Desha, Independence, Cleveland, Ouachita, Brad- ley, Juckson and Johnson received at Democratic headquarters show a loss to the Democracy of 3385. On this basis this will give Jones a plu- rality of 52,000, estimating that 140,000 votes were cast. Chairman Cooper of the Republican State Committee made the following statement for the press to-nighi: “T.e election law plainly directs that the judges of election shail not all be of the same_political party, and when the Democratic Election ~Commissioners, against the earnest protest of Republi- cans, appointed Democratic election judges exclusively in over twenty coun- ties of this State in violation of the law, 1t was perfectly well understood that fraud was intended. I do not hesitate to say that the appointment of these Democratic juages and the refusal to appoint one Re- publican cost the Republican ticket thou- sands of votes and added to the Demo- cratic votes. **Clark admits that in & number of coun- ties a number of Democratic committees appointed none but Democratic judges, and he is at a loss to know why they did this, especially in his home county of Phillips. That will be the question asked by every honest man. Notwithstanding all these frauds he estimatéd the vote of Remmsel, the Republican candidate for Governor, has increasea 50 per cent over his vote in 1894. The silver quesiion has not increased the Democratic vote or decreased the Republican vote in this State.” Sl 4 Strong Gold Sentiment. CHICAGO, ILg, Sept. 8.—Chairman Bynum of the National Democratic Com- mittee secured headquarters at the Palmer House for the campaign committee. He expects to open the headquarters a week from next Monday. Congressman Sperry of Connecticut, a Democrat who has been making an exten- sive tour of the West, called at the Palmer House headquarters. He said he was sur- prised to find a strong gold sentiment in | Iowa, where he had been informed Bryan bad thousands of Republican followers. He predicted that Connecticut would give McKinley a good majority. S S South Carolina’s Primary. CHARLESTON, 8. C., Sept. 8.—There isintense excitement throughout South Carolina to-day over the primary election. At the Democratic primary eléction held a few weeks ago the people voted for the first time directly for a United States Senator. Three candidates were in the field and none of them received a majority of the votes cast, so that_the race is made over again to-day by Judge Joseph H. Earle and Governor John Gary Evaus. Out of 55,000 votes reported Earle is 12,000 ahead. Indications are that Earle w1l be elected by 8000 to 10,000 majority. e Colorado’s Convenisons. DENVER, Coto., Sept. 8.—Three State conventions are to be held to-morrow, the Silver party and Republicans in Denver and the Populists in Pueblo. The former will indorse Bryan and Sewall electors, acting under the authority of the regu- larly constructed State committee of the Republican party, of which R. W. Broad is chairman, vice Irving Holbert resigned. The McKinleyites, who controlled the State committee and elected J. W.Hodges chairman, lay clalm to the eagle emblem, and their convention takes ?lnca later in the month. While each of to-morrow’s conventions will strive for fusion on a State ticket, as weil as for Bryan and BSewall electors, their action cannot be safely predicted in advance. s ks Fusion With Populists. S8T. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 8.—The Demo- cratic State Central Committee of Missoury met here to-day and fixed a basis for fusion with the People’s party on_ the electoral ticket. It was decided to withdraw three district electors and one elector at large. The vacancies wiil be filled by Populists. Swift Time on a Tandem.
