2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1896. sor. Through him the nihilists and Fenians were brought together and it was due to his efforts that the alliance between them was entered into. € The police here in their investigations early learned that the magazine of the plotters was located at Berchiem, a suburb of Antwerp, and when the plans for the arrest were complete the authorities of that city were notified and an attempt was made to arrest the men in the houde where the explosives were stored. Tais, however, failed, but it is thought certain that Kearney and Hains, alias Wallsce, who were arrested at Rotterdam, are the Irishmen who lived in tbe house at Bercheim. Kearney sent Bell to Glas. gow for the purpose of sounding the physi- cal force party there as to their willingness to resort to the use of dynamite. Tt has been learned tbat while Tynan was in Paris he consorted with notorious anarchists and nibilists. He always had plenty of money, whicn he spent freely among his associates. He was voted a *good fellow,” but there were those among his companions who did not approve of this air of braggadocio and threats of vengeance against England. It was thought that he did altogether too much talking and he was several times warned that his tongue would get him in trouble with the police if he did not put a curb upon it. It is not expected that the man will be extradited untit the conclusion of the Czar’s visit to Franca. Great praise is awarded to Inspector Melville for his work in shadowing and arresting the conspirators. Itis believed that his work has puta quietus on a vlot that, had it been suc- cessful, would have been far reaching in its results and which would have made matters worse for Ircland, instead of bet- tering ber condition. The leading mem- bers of the Nationalist party emphatically deny any sympathy with the physical force party, whose ideas they characterize as chimerical and tending to undo what- ever progress Las been made in the Irish cause, - — SURPKISE 1IN NEW YORK. drish Leaders Do Not Credit the Stories ef the Police. LONDON, Exg., Sept. 14.—The Central News has interviewed T. B. Tynan, son of Patrick Tynan, the alleged dynamiter, now under arrest at Boulogne-aux-Mer. Young Tynan, who is an actor, said he left New York on July 4, and had not seen his father since then. He thougnt, how- ever, that he was still in Americ: knew nothing whatever of the charges against bis father, but believed he was in- nocent of any connection witha dynamite conspiracy. NEW YORK, Iv. Y., Sept. 14.—The cabie dispatch published this morning that P. J. Tynan, the so-called *No. 1” of the | Irish Invincible, whose conspiracy brought about the Pheenix Park tragedy in Dublin in 188 had been arrested at a hotel in the city of Boulogne, France, and that three other alleged Irish dynamiters had bsen arrested at Rotter- dam and Glasgow, caused the biggest kind of surprise in Irish circles here to-day. | There are few, however, who believe that the arrests will prove of much conse- quence, as it is the general opinion that dynamite crusades are things of the past. The surprise is mainly at the arrest of Tynan after being at liberty for fourteen years, One of the other men arrested, under the name of Patrick Kearney, is believed 10 be John F. Kearney, well known in New York as a political agitator, and who at every election starts a paper for political efiect. The others are, for the most part, unknown. Tynan is now about 63 years of age and Lis arrest is liable to bring about many complications. Tynan hkas not been seen in New York for the past seven weeks, neither has Kearney. It was stated in Irish circles that both had gone South and West to stump for McKinley, and the statement was accepted as the truth. Why Tynan should go to Krance or to England on any kind of a mission that re- quires secrecy none of his friends can im- agine. His picture had been published hundreds of times und he hasa counte- nance that once seen could never be for- gotten. Kearney was not known to be connected with any revolutionary movement in this country. William Lyman, the presiaent of the Irish National Alliance, in an interview to-day informed a reporter of the United Associated Presses that the arrest of Ty- nan came to him like a thunder-clap. “It seems not two weeks,”’ he added, “since I saw and talked with Tynan iu this city, but it may have been longer. I cabled to a friend in Paris to see that Tynan was properly represented and that his extradition to England was prevented, if possible. Ido not believe that Tynan went to Europe on any business connected with the cause. *I pelieve that he went to Europe to settle up the estate of a brother who died recently in South America, and the large sum of money found on him may have been a portion of his heritage. The man Bell, who was arrested in Glasgow, I do not know, and the suggestion that he was Tynan’s secretary is ridiculous. *“I know J. F. Kearney of New York well. BatIhad no idea that he was in Rotterdam, as I talked with him in this city but a few days ago. He may have gone to Europe since, but I do not think he went on business connected with the cause. I do not know the man named Haines, arrested with Kearney., If they really have Tynan and Kearney in cus- | tody nothing will be spared to secure their release. The members of Tynan’s family, with the exception of one son, who is now In London, are living on One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street. His daughter was seen at their home thismorning. Shesaid that her father, so far as she knew, was in Rochester. Her mother, sbe said, had received a let- ter from bim posted in Rochester a week ago. Miss Tynan could not say what she believed her father was doing in Rochester. “We are not at all worried,” she said, “because we do not think father can pos- sibly be the man under arrest in France. We feel sure that he was in Rochester a week ago.” Mrs. Tynan could not be seen. Miss Tynan said that her mother was not in. The last that Tynan’s neighbors saw of him was three weeks ago. He had always worn a beard, but at that time he had sbaved it off and then disappeared on the following day. Close friends of Tynan and Kearney de- clare to-day that they xnew nothing ofa new dynamite plot. Excuses for the presence of the men abroad were freely offered. —_——— EXCITEMENT IN PARIS, Arrangements for the Reception of the Czar Materially Changed. PARIS, Fraxce, Sept. 14.—There was considerable excitement on the boulevards and atthe clubs this evening in conse- quence of the arrest of the alleged dyna- miters at Rotterdam, Glasgow and Bou- logne-sur-Mer. The matter was discussed from all points of view. The consensus of opinion was that, al- He | thohgh the conspirators were fortunately arrested, the time of exposing their plans was inopportune, as it might result in a change being made in the arrangements for the reception of the Czar. It was planned that his Majesty should be driven through many of the principal streets of the city in order to give the pop- ulace a good view of him. It is now thought in view of the conspiracy that has | been unearthed that the route will be | much shortened. This will cause great | disappointment to the Parisians. The police have been keeping a close watch on all known anarchists and nihil- ists, and it is generally believed that many of them will be arrested as a meas- ure of precaution prior to the Czar’s visit. M. Henri Rochefort, the well-known editor of L'Iutransizeant, says e does not believe that the French Government will grant the extradition of Tynan. OXALIC ACID FOR SALTS. 4 Careless Druggist Kills a Prominent 5 German at Brooklyn. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Sept. .14 —Jacob Mebolt, recording secretary of the Schwae- bischen Saengerbund of Brookiyn and president of the Cannaster Sick Benefit Society, died yesterday morning of oxalic acid poisoning- He took & dose of the acid, believing it to be Carlsbad salts, and was dead in about an hour. Coroner Na- son has caused the arrest of Charles F. Timmerman, a druggist, at whose store the poison was obtained. Mcboldt was 43 years old and active in German affairs. Before he left his home on Saturday evening to attend a meeting of the Sick Benefit Society he sent his twelve-year-old ‘daughter Annie to Tim- | merman’s for five cents’ worth of salts. | Timmerman gave the girl a small pack- | age, whicu she took home. Meboldt about 110 o’clock yesterday morning took a dose of the supposed salts. In a few minutes he complained of cramps, got up, stag- gered around and sank to the floor. When a physician arrived he was unconscious and died forty minutes later. The police were notified and a detective went to the drugstore. Timmerman told him that Meboldt's daughter had plainly asked for oxalic acid, saying that her | mother wanted to polish metal. The sale had been duly recorded in the druggisi's poison book. On being questioned young Annie Me- boldat declared that she askea for Carlsbad salts. She was asked to pronounce the words oxalfc acid. She was urable to do | so and said she neyer heard those words before. Sherepeated herstatement to Cor- | oner Nason, who then issued a warrant against the druggist. Eot R | ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

The trouble has been caused by the fact that the people of this county voted last fall to make all the turnpikes free. The au- thorities cannot take final action until some steps be taken toward the purchase of the turnpikes, and as a consequence toll is still collected. This is the cause of the trouble. The people have torn down the toll gates. PR R Father and Four Sons Drowned.

S0FT SCAP FOR THE GEORGIAN. P.easant Words of the Chairman of the Notification Committee to the Candidate. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14.—Sena- tor Marion C. Butler, ¢hairman of the Populist National Committee, to-day mailed the following letter of notification 1o Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the nominee for Vice-President: WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14, 1896. Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thompson, Ga.—DEAR SIr: Such is our form of government that the citizens of the United States must shape its course for good or evil through the agency of political parties. When there I8 no political party that represents the principles of good government, no party that stanas for right and the interest of the laborer, wealth-pro- ducer and all who strive to make an honest living by fair and legitimate means, then itis 1mpossible for the majority of the voters to ex- press their will at the ballot-box. ‘When ail the political parties stand for the selfish interest and personal greed of money- changers, corporations, trusts, monopolies, as does the Republican party under the lesder- ship of John Sherman and the Democratic party under the leadership of Grover Cleve- land, then the producing masses are victims without an alternative. To withhold their votes will furmish them no relief, while to cast their votes for either party is to sanction their own spoliation and to sirengthen the power that oppresses them. This was the rolilicnl situation in 1892 when'stern necessity forced organized labor, the organized wealth producers, and others who believe in good government and were en- gaged in legitimate business interests, to meet and form a new political organization known as the People’s party. This new political party, representing the principles of true Re- publicanism as taught by Abraham Lincoln and of true Democracy as taught by Jefferson and Jackson, as if springing full-grown from the loins of the people, cast over & million votes, winning in five States within four months from the date of its birth. The Democratic and Republican parties no longer represented the principles upon which they were founded. They had long since de- seried the principles for which our ancestors left the Old World end which were made our inheritance through the blood and sacrifices of our fathers in the Revolutionary War, and had embraced the odious and oppressive meth- ods so long practiced under the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World. Theenemies of qood government, the enemies of the peo- Rle s prosperity and the enemies of slruflgl(ug umanity had dominated and controlled both of these parties for twenty years. Both of these parties had long since ceased to regard the interest of the masses and became the ‘agents through which corporations end trusts exploit the people; both of these parties have betrayed the peo and have legislated in the interest of the bankers, speculators, bondholders and monopolists, thus enabling the favored few to absorb the millions of prop- erty earned and created by the toiling masses. They have been the agencies for robbing the millions to make the few millionaires,and, ‘worse than this, they have placed the weifare and happiness of the whole Nation in the hands of and subject to the confederated money power of the world. The candidates of both of these parties for the past twenty years have been pledged to the iflld standard and have used the power of the Government on the side ofgold. No matter which party the people voted for their votes were cast for l.heYr ene- mies and 1o enslave themselves. No matter which party went into power times grew harder and the wealth of the many was con- centrated into the hands of the few. Another party, an American party, was wanted. There was need for such arty to keep alive the American spirit of 10 ad- vocate and enforce the principles of the De- claration of Independence, to advocate the rights of American labor and American man- hood, to restore prosperity to & suffering *wopfs and to rescue a great and rich Nation rom the quicksands of bankruptey and ruin. Thus the People’s party stands for the great principles of & republican form of govern- ment as represented by the forefathers, and came into existence to restore the Government to the people. The People’s party was the first political or- ganization in twenty-three years that made an honest demand tor the free and unrestricted coinage of silver. Uniil the present year both old parties put into their platforms & demand for the restoration of silver, but coupled with it gualifying and ambiguous phrases that neg- atived the demand, and then rallied the voters of the West and South for silver,and the North and East for the gold standard, on the same platiorm. 2 The People’s party was the first political or- ganization that decided againgy the surrender of the governmental functiohs of issuing aper money to National, State or private anks. The People's party was the first politi- cal organization to make definite and specific ‘what it meani by opposition to monopolies in- stead of induiging in glittering Teuunlmem The People’s party was the first political part; to nominate candidates for President an ‘Vice-President that were not goldbugs and did not receive goldbug support. It is the onl; party now in existence which, with an undi- vided membership and a solid front, is de. mending legislation for the suppression of monopolies and for the equal protection of all ecitizens against the en- croachment of individuel and corporate power. 8o successfully has it exposed the shortcomings of the two old parties, so vigor- ously arraigned them for the betrayal of the people, so vigorously has it taught the Erlncl- les of true Democracy and true Republican- sm, that one of these old parties has been forced to retrace its en-infi steps and cast off, for the time being at least, its base and treach- erous leaders. It was the People’s party that brought the al rtant and overshadowing question of financlal reform to the front. It was the People’s party that made it impossible for the 0id parties to longer keep in the back- fmnnd the real National issues while they -);Izhll -han: bat leu'lgveryzhe luru! and other minor local issues. The People’s G2 is the real force, the mainspring &hms“ great political révolution. It was the indomitable force that drove the Democratic party to make its patriotic declara- tion in the Chicago convention and is now the constant and strengthening force that holds them up to that declaration. If this patriotic and elevating influence as an organized force were removed then inevitably the evil and blighting influences that have dominated and corru; the Democratic party in the past would creep into its councils .Sd control it again. Besides there is a considerable mi- nority of the Democratic party, who for policy are supporting the action of the Chi con- vention, yet who are radicall opwmo Mr. Bryan and the principles which he represents, These are the natural ailies of the plutocrats of the Indianapolis convention snd will spare no e]floruaw defeat fll;a& {emliml o:nlch the people and every principle of go vern- ment demand. 5 Thus the Democratic party, so long de- bauched—a party beset from without and trom ‘within by the gold piutocrats trying to xnm control—cannot be relied on to carry out these Teforms of the th'n party and restore pros- perity to the American people. Therefore there was never greater need for the vigorous growth of our party than now. ‘Without it the Democratic pariy, if 1o power, could not redeem its pledges. Without it the next National convention of the Democratic party would repudiate the platform it has so Tecently adopted at Chicago, and Mr. Bryan would stand no more chance of becoming its nominee than would Thomas Jefferson & he wgn again or:h mgne. o 1 n e Democratic politicians de- nounced the principles ot the %eo le’s party. In 1896 ;heunmem.nwe?( to purge themselves of their modern false doetrines and return to the principles of Jefferson and Jack- son. That party in its National convention nominated for " the Presidency Wilham J. Brysn, s man who was ready 10 renounce the false gods of a corrupted Democracy as Henry M. Teller had renounced the false gods of & corrupted Republicanism. The People’s party, in its second Natlonal convention held a few weeks later, put coun- try above party and rose to her e of patriotism than has ever bee OWD DY any other party. It recognized in this youog pa- triot of the West a mean who stands in the broadest and truest sense for American insti- tution and American principles—a man as worthy and as true as any one within our own ranks, and besides one who had already sev- eral millions of votes pledged to nis support, and who, therefore, we couid be sure of elect- ing in the presentcontest. Thus was presented 10 US an opportunity to elect a man who would be the first friend io the people in the White House in twenty years—such a mau as the }’eoplla'l party nad searcely hoped 1o elect be- ore 3 If the Democratic party had been true to the people and its own platform in its selection of a candidate for Vice-Presfdent we would not now have the honor of addressing you—one of the worthiest and most beloved sons of the People’s party—in this official capacity, for in that event the People’s party would heve nominated the whols Lemocratic ticket by even & larger majority than it nominated Mz. Bryan, Butsuch was not the case. It seems that the ty was not able at one effort to purge itseli of its modern heresies, cast off its plutocratic leaders, and at the same time it nominated Mr. Bryan gave him a running- mate who had nos earned in the arena of action, contending against the foes of ihe people, the affection, the confidence and the trust of the masses of our country 8s had Mr. Bryan himseif. Had it nominated & man for the Vice-Presidency who was known to all Americans as a chieftain and a leader in defense of the toilers and producers of the land, one who by the use oy voice, pen and means had endeared himself to the American people; one with a t not obscured in a silence suggestive of either ignorance or indif- ierence to the struggle of the people with the money power—the oceasion of this communica- tion to your worthy seif would not have oc- curred. *The People's party, true to its princi- ples and true to its teachings, nominated for the high office of Vice-President a man worthy to have headed the ticket, 8 man who represents what Mr. Bryan represents, and therefore, presents to the people to-asy in the persons of Bryan and Watson the best silver ticket in the field; a ucket that is representa- tive of American ihterests; a tickes thatstands for just the opposite of that for which the Re- publican ticket stands. If the people win this fight_for financial re- form, it must be accomplished by the co-oper- ation of the silver forces of all political par- ties. To secure such co-operation of the differ- ent parties it is necessary to have & co-opera- tive ticket. Therefore Bryan and Watson is notonly the best silver ticket, but it is also the true co-operative ticket. e have the honor, representing the Second National Convention of the People’s party, to formally notify Jou of your nomination for Vice-President of the United States, and hope you will accept the high trust, and carry our banner of “Equal rights to all and s privileges to none” 1 victory agains: the com- ined minions cf spectal privileges, aggregated cavital and orgenized greed.

Now It Only Remains for th: Wan- dering Orator to Clasp the Ex- tended Glad Hand. MADISON, Ngpr., Sept. 14.—Senator William V. Allen, chairman of the Popu- list committee to notify William J. Bryan, to-night gave out his letter to the nomi- nee. The full text of the letter follows: MADISON, Nebr., Sept. 14, 1896. To Hon. William J. Bryan, Lincoln, Nebr.— DEAR SIR: At a convention ofi the People’s party, held at St. Louis July 22 to 25 of the current year, you were unanimously chosen for President of the United States, to be voted for af the approaching general election. It was known at the time that you had been nomi- nated by the Democratic party at its conven- tion, neld at Chicago a few days befoze that time and tbat you would in all probabitity accept the same in a formal manner. Your nomination by the People's party was not, therefore, made with any thought that you were a Populist or that you accepted all the doctrines declared by the St.Louis platform. It was dye, largely, to the fact that the money question is the overshadowing volitical issue of the age and because you have at all times been an unswerving, able and fearless advo- cate of the free and uulimited coinage of silver and gold on terms of equality at the mints of the United States at the ratio of 16 to 1. It was thought, also, that the observance of a patriotic duty required a union of all reform forces, and the tonvention took the liberty without soliciting orconsulting you of placin our name before the people as its standard- arer. The convention was in doing so uided by deep solicitude for the common wel- are and acting on its own motion, prompted alone by a desire to bring about the best at- tainable results. So much has 'n said re- specting the rehabilitation of silver by again acing it in our coinage acts in the Boumon t occupied when stealthily demonetized by the act of 1873 that it would be idle use for us to discuss the guestion. You will ob- serve by the closing language of the St. Louis platform that the convention recognized the money question &s the great issue of the day, and because Populists be- lieve that you are in accord with them on this question you will receive their ballots in No- vember. It has at no time been expected nor is it now that you will abandon your adhesion 10 the Chicago platform, nor that you will ac- cept all that is declared by the Peopie’s party platiorm, however gratifying the latter would be to all Populists, It must be understood that the party does not abate_one jot or tittle of loyalty toits principles. We have declared ourselves in favor of many important reforms and go further than you or your party have gone, These reforms are inour judgment es- sential to the liberation of the people from present unjust and iniquitous industrial bond- nge. In accordance with {pmedanl of our party ‘we take this method of notifying you of your nomination. We shall not send & committee according to old party custom. In send- ing this letter of motification of the great homor that has so justly been conferred on you by our party it is needless for us to assure you that you have the confidence and esteem of all. Your splendid abilities, known integrity, competency and eminent fitness for the position justly entitle you toa rank_among the great sistesmen of ibe Nation. We feel that in the event of your election, which now seems certain, “you will carry into execution the principles of monetary reform to the end that the people shall enjoy better industrial conditions. It is not anticipated that this can be done with un- due haste or so suddenly as to wrench or dis joint the business interests of the country, but that it will be done graduailyand in's way to infuse confidence and hope of better conditions for all. The People’s K‘n’ 'will exact of you no prom- ises further than those made in your public utterances and exemplified in a life devoted to the welfare of the race, nor will it.ask you to abandon the party of which you are an hon- ored member. - In your nomination our party has risen above mere partisan surroundings, adopting a high plane of patriotism, belieying that a division of forces would resultin the election of William McKinley, the foremost advocate of a deeply burdensome and un- natural taxation and the criminal policy of the single gold standard, resuiting ultimately, if not in some manner checked in the compiete destruction and_disintegration of our form of government.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. 14.— Mr. Bryan left St. Louis at 6:30 o’clock this morning in a special train, accompanied by Congressman Adlen and several mem- bers of the St. Louis local committee. Although the hour was very early wher Mr. Bryan’s train reached Bellville, 1ll., where the first stop was made, more tkan 1000 people were gatherca about a tem- porary platform near the tracks. Mr. Bryan was presented by Martin W. Shafer, chairman of the Democratic County Commirtee. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Bryan said: If the people of the United States deliber- ately throw their influence upon the side of the gold standard it simply means that they raise the value of an ounce of gold throughout the world. If we succumb to the influences which are opposed to us, the great money in- fluences, these same influences will be turned upon weaker nations and nation after nation will pe driven from the use of silver, as every new nation that joins in the crusade for gold will make our property cheaper and our money dearer and give unearned advantage o the men who own money and change mofiey and add continuing distress to the people who toil and_produce the wealth of the world. [Cheers.] We sre here in a great laboring community. 1 call your attention, men who toil, to the fact that not in a single instance in the history of re- corded time hes the gold standard ever re- ceived the voluntary indorsement of those who labor. [Cheers.] It has been supported, it has been defended and it has beeu propa- ed by those who instead of producing wealth, live upon the toil of others and b, holding and cornering the money of the world, charge what they will for it of those who must have it to do the business of the world. Take away the gold standard, the support of the money-owning classes and money-changing classes and it will not stana for a single day in any nation on earth. [Cheers.] I appesl to you tadod'our duty as you see it and let no threat and persuasion swerve you {rom mak- ing each vote register a free man’s will. [Loud cheering.] The arrival of Mr. Bryan at Mascoutah, Ill., had been advertised for 7:45, but the train reached there at 7:20, and Mr. Bryan made a few remarks to a small crowd of undemonstrative poo&}e. They ¢Leered as the train drew out. hen the Bryan spe- cial train reached ' Nashville, ., the Democratic candidate found several hun- dred ople there. They cheered him when he came on the car platform and applauded his remarks about the money question. Ashley, the next stop, had a large and enthusiastic crowd. Mr, Bryan again spoke. Mt. Vernon had sent a committee ahead to meet Mr. Bryan, and when he reached there at 9:20 the people formed in line afid escorted tbe candidate to a platiorm in front of the State Supreme Court build- ing, 100 yards from the station. It wasa very good-sized crowd, numbering several thousand people, and they were very en- enthusiastic. A brass band escorted Mr. Bryan to the stand, and following him came a number of men bearing campaign transparencies. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Judge Sample, State Appeliate Judge, and made a twelve-minute speech. He said: I appreciate the fact that this meeting is resided over by one who until this campaign as been a Republican [referring to Judge Sample]. Ialsoappreciate the fact that whiie our opponents may say of me that I am young Soa “Bboktug n” publlo experisnte, they cannot bring that charge against a member of e Supreme Court, whose judgment and heart has led him to espouse the cause of the people. [Cheers.] A few months ago 1 was in your miast, then as a private citizen simply Tepresenting & cause which was near to my heart, and when I told you here that the brand of my Democracy was different from the brand which was being presented by the ad- ministration, your city was advertised by those who tried to make It appear that I was not & Demoerat. My friends, those of you who were here know that I not only did not declare myself not a Democrat, but I have al- ways declared myself a better Democrat than any man who sought to undo what Jefferson and Jackson did for the American people. [Great cheering.] Fifteen hundred people were bunched together around a speaker’s platform at McLeansboro, Ill., when Candidate Bry- an’s train reached that place at 10:20 A. . A gangplank, one end resting on the train vlatform, enabled Mr. Bryan to reach the stand without being obliged to fight his way through the throng, as_he had fre- quently been obliged to do. He made a short speech and said: Since 18783 the le have been trying to restore the lnvr»:voxfinh existed. bet?;ie ”73. From the beginning of the Government down t0 '78 there never was a day when silver was discriminated against as a standard. Referring to the Chicago convention he said: A majority of the delegates in that conven- tion went there instructed to declare for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and obeyed their instructions and adopted a platform that breathes the srhll of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, which is now offered to the toilers of this country. [Applause.] The men who have been trying 1o read out of the Democratic party those who stood by its ancient doc- trines were the first to leave the Democratic party and find a congenial home somewhere else. We have no desire to drive Democrats out of the party unless they want to use it for the pur] unknown to the founders of the party. But when we had to choese between the eoms-ny of those who had been advocat- the dominion of syndicates and those who believed in the principles of our forefathers and the Interests of the people, we prefer to lose the company of some of our leaders and retain the confidence of the people. Carmi, Il turned out a big crowd to see and hear Mr. Bryan. When his special ar- rived there at 11 o’clock enough people were gathered at the station to fill an open space a hundred feet square. Uarmi hada stand erected for his accommodation. The x:lfnllflon brass band was on hand and the appurtenances of a political meet- ing were there. Mr. Bryan said: Our opponents tell us that if prices fall the ‘makes a8 much on what he buys cheap as he loses on what he sells cheap. They forget that some things do not fail. Your taxes are not falling. Iknow not how it may be in this country, but as a rule the taxes of a farmer are s t did then. Now, 0 g dollar a good thing are telling us thet we must maintain & gold standard. My friends, let them think so if they will; let them vote that way if they desire 10, but i want to impress upon your minds that you who are injured by a gold standard have t to secure that relief yourselyes through gn ballot box if you are going to seek relief. [Avplause.] Soon after leaving Carmi the Bryan special crossed the Wabash into Indian: and Mr. Bryan received a welcome to th; State from committees from Evansville Y-nd other places. The first place wherea ll(lr was made 1n Indiana by the Bryan train was at Mount Verrion at noon. Five thousand people greeted. Mr. Bryan there. Mr. Bryan reached nsville shortly before 1 o’clock. He was placed in a car- riage and taken to an open lot, 100 yards from where the train s'opped, at the cor- ner of Ohio street and First avenue. The lot was crowded to its outskirts with peo- ple. Two Bryan and Sewsll clubs arrived after Mr. Bryan reached the covered stand from which he made his speech, and in- creased the gathering. The candidate was very Leartily cheered by an audience of 8000 people, and when he was presented by Colonel Shanklin, Nationat committee- man of Indianapolis, the cheering was re- newed. £ g Mr. Bryan went over many of the points discussed by him before. He spoke in part as follows: As T came down the street here I noticed a picture showing the mints open in one place and the tactories in ahother, and the Republi- can party assures the people it is trying to open the factories while we are trying to open the mints. Our policy means the opening of both mints aud 1actories. The triumph of the Republican party means the closing oi both mints and factories. [Applause.] How can the manufacturer sell goods unless the people are able 10 buy them? As long as you drive down the price of farm products you make it impossible for the farmer to buy the products of the factories, and until he can buy you can- not open the factories. t Vantto open the factories first and then times will be good it is putting the cart beiore the horse. It is like saying s man has a good wagon and it runs weil if he could only make the horse go. [Laughter.] People need cloth- ing and other products of the factory. Why can’t they buy them? Because when the farmer sells his crops in gold prices and pays his debts and taxes he has nothing left to spend at the store. [Applause.] On the way to the station the spirited horses attached to Mr. Bryan’s carriage became frightehed and jumped into the] crowd. There was a momentary panic among thase near the carriage and a great scamp-r for safety. One of the horses plunged back and forward furiously, get- ting beyond the control of the driver. At this juncture Mr. Bryan and those with him jumped to the ground just as the horses were subdued by some policemen. The train left Evansville at 1:25 o’clock and crossed over the Ohio River into Ken- tucky. - Henderson, Ky., where the candidate was scheduled to stop for an hour, was reached at 2 o’clock. An escort, composed of the Cariisie Rifles, 500 mounted men from Union County, ¢ity and county officials in carriages, and others, conveyed Mr. Bryan to the courthouse, where he made a speech before a large and en- thusiastic audience. KEx - Congressman James ¥. Clay intsoduced Mr. Bryan, who was received with wild enthusiasm. He made a speech half an hour long and then went over to another stand at the edge of the park and addressed a second great as- semblage for twenty minutes. Mr. Bryan repeated his usual talk for silver. At the conclusion of his remarks the escort was re-formed and Mr. Bryan re- turned to his train cheered along the way. Thetrain left Henderson at 3:15. An extra car furnished to the Kentucky people accompanying Mr. Bryan by the uis- ville, Henderson and St. Louis road, over whose tracks the trip to Louisville was made, was attached to the special train at Henderson. A stop of ten minutes was made at Owensboro, the home of Urey Woodson, National committeeman from Kentucky, whose guest Mr. Bryan will be while wraveling through the State. At Hawesville, Cloverport and Irvington Mr. Bryan said a few words to several hundred people at each place. He also addressed quite a gathering at West Point, where flaming jets of natural gas formed the principal illumination in his honer. At Louisville many people turned out to see Bryan, and he made several speeches of the usual silvery hue. The Postoffice Cleris. DENVER, Covo., Sept. 14.—The Na- tional Association of Postoffice Clerks opened their annual meeting to-day.
