George Urafts of Bakersfield was in the City yesterday and makes a good report of the political feeling in the lower end of the great San Joaquin Valley. The Populists, who seem to be as hun- gry for offices, irrespective of principle, as are the Democrats, had fused on every- thing in sight, but they were making such | a pell-mell rush for the spoils that there Wwas no organization at all among them, and that they were more like a disorgan- ized mob than anythine else. i Boss Cator of the Populists has been down in that vicinity fusing, so that he and Stephen M, White ougat to get con- trol of the Legislature. In Kern County Cator has given the Democrats the Supe- rior Judge in return for the members of the Assembly. Mr, Crafts bas failed to find any Re- publicans in Kern County who are going 10 vote for Bryan, while, on the other hand, there are many Democrats who liave come out into the open and declared tneir intention to support McKinley and Hobart, Kern County used to be a great wool- raising county, there being a arge num- ber of Mexicans, Basques, Italians and Portuguese enguged in that industry. They were all NDemocrats until the Wilson act ruined their business and converted them from wool-sellers to mutton-sellers, They are working earnestly for McKinley and protection. A Jarge number of alfalia farmers, who had made the greater par: of their income by renting aliaifa pasture to the sheep mien, have been injured by the rain of their patrons, and they are sharp- ening their sheepshears and mowers for the scalp of William Bryan and free trade. e LONG ON LOYALTY. Judge Short of Fresno Reviews the Polltical Situation. Judge Frank H. Short of Fresno was in this City yesterday, ard had a good re- port to make concerning the steady growth of Republican vrinciples in the raisin and wool center of the State, When Judge Bhort settled in that country there was nobody living there but Missouri Democrats. The Judge is from Missouri bimseli, but he was one of the few Repub- licans who were allowed to live in that State at the time he Jeft it, Fresno County in those days was hot politically, as well as it is, and always has been, climatically, and the few Republicans who existed there were on the same social and politi- cal scale as the horned toad of commerce— tolerated and often trodden upon. But the Republicans steadily grew in numbers. A whole lot of them came from the East, and despite the blight of Democ- racy saw that Fresno was a air land when irrigat on “water supplanted, the -light- ning-bug sheep-dip sold in that city under the name of whisky, Judge Short, Dr.'C ester A, Rowell and a few other stalwarts kept the lamp burn- ing at the shrine of Republicanism, so that to-dny all the important eity and county offices are filled with Rspubflcnns. The dried fruit and raisin and wool growers, whose business was well nigh ruined by the Wilson bill, are enlisting every day under the banner of McKinley and protection and forsaking the Democ- racy, which has taken tue roof from over their heads. . ““You may safely put down Fresno as solid for McKinley and protection,” said Judge Short. it FOR UNION, The Continenta! Club Makes an Appeal for Harmony. At a meeting of the Continental Club last evening the following resolutions were adopted : WHEREAS, To elect Willilam McKinley and Garret A, Hobart, Republican nomme’u for Fresident and Vice-President, requires the uuited and individual effort of every Repub- lican voter, and the unitea support of aii Republican conventions; and wiereas, there #re now in session in this City two Repubiican muuicipal conventions, which divided, cannot expect to elect a single nomiuee of either con- vention; thereiore be it - Resolved, That we, the executive committee of the Continental League, hereby request the two conventions to immediately cease their contentions, urite their forces and nominate such a municipal ticket as the rank and file of the Bepublican perty and all good citizens can support and triumphantly elect on the third duy of November next, with Wililam McKinley #ud Garrel A.

Y No Nominations Made at Martin Kelly’s Convention Last Night. Chairman Sonntag Lost His Cue and Caused Consternation for a Few Minutes. Charles Sonntag presided over the meet- ing of delegates of the Kelly-Mahoney faction last evening at B'nai B'rith Hall. Previous to assembling one of the lieu- tenants announced that the ‘‘boss” had decided simply 10 have the meeting called to order and then adjourn and go 10 the Auditorium in a boay. The first part was carried out all right, as the volicall of delegates and reading of the minutes of the previous meeting were dispensed with. Chairman Sonntag declined to recornize the first to move an adjournment, saying that he wanted to present Henry 8. Martin, who had been nominated at the previous meeting for the position of Treasurer of the Citv and County of San Francisco. Mr. Martin responded, thanked the con- vention for the nomination, and nrom- ised, if elected, to discharge his duties with credit to himself and the Republican partv. A second motion to adjourn wascut short by A. Ruef r-porting that the com- mittee on rules and regulations was not ready to present a report. The third motion 10 adiourn was not Leard by the presiding officer. Chairman Sonntag was leaning forwarda trying to at- tract the attention of ex-Senator Ma- honey, who occupied a front seat. When he succeeded in so doing, he said, sotto voce: “Mr. Mahoney, are you ready for nominations?” *“Naw,” answered tbe ex-Senator as he kicked the sawdust on the floor impa- tiently. Those who heard the question and answer snickered. Chairman Sonntag 1ooked confused, but straightened out b; calling for an address from ex-Judge E. B, Sawyer, who was nominated at the last meeting for Superior Judge. The latter expressed his thanks for the honors con- ferred and promised ifelected to deal justly with all without fear or favoritism. Chairman Sonntag caused a little con- fusion after the Judge had finished speak- ing by statiug that those who had any friends to put in nomination could do so, but that the nominations must be accom- nied by $10 for eact nomination. The delegates looked the astonishment they evidently, all felt, wuile the ex-Sen- ator kicked the sawdust savagely and turned red in the face. “I will read the list of places to be filled,” resumed the chairman apparently ancunsmous of the surprise of the conven- on. “The first nomination will be for the position of Tax Collector, the”— “Move we adjourn,” shouted the first delegate to recover his breath. The chair- man stopped and listened to a friend who whispered in bisear. The motion to aa- journ was put aud carried without further ado, and the delegales went inimediately to the Auditoriul ———— More Charter Delegates.

FLOWER FIRST TO TALK Palmer and Buckner Represent the Men Who Are Not Revolutionists, BYNUM SCORES BRYANITES, Declares the Statement That Free Coinage Will Advance Silver a Faliacy. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 22.—Madison- square Garden was crowded to overflowing to-night when the candidates of the Na- tional Democracy faced a metropolitan audience and opened thecampaign for the sound-money Democracy in the Empire State. An hour before the meeting opened the best seats were taken, and at 7 o'clock 1000 were standing in the hall. The au- dience was one of the best appearing that has been drawn together by political meetings in this city. A large number of ladies were present. The audience recog- nized Roswell P. Flower, William D, By- num, Colonel Fellows and others, and cheered them asthey made their way to their seats. Among those on the plat- form were: Rey. Theodore Cuyler, Wil- liam B. Hornblower of New Jersey, C. A. Henriques, Captain Hugh Gordon, Peter B. Olney, Theodore Sutro, Colonel Thomas Hurley of Texas, Colonel J. M. Faulkner of Florida; Charles C. Canda, Everett P. Whetter and Dr. Willlam Everett of Massachusetts. Promptly at 8 o'clock Robert A. Wynd- mann, chairman of the National Demo- cratic Committee of New York, stepped to the front of the plafform and opened the proceedings. He said that the good old ship Democracy was going on the rocks when the Indianapolis convention took ber in charge and placed able men at her helm who were now manning her for the fight which would bury Bryanism, Watsonism and Sewallism so deep that Gabriel’s trumpst would have difficulty in resurrecting them. He then introduced ex-Governor Flower, the chairman of the evening, who said: Fellow Democrats, we are met to ratify the | nomination end platform of ihe National Democratio Convention held at Indianapolis. We are Democrats and not Populists. We are in favor of likerty, reguiated by law. We are not reyolutionists. We believe in maintain- ing our form of governmeut in its full vigor; the legislative department to make the laws, the judicial to expound them and the execu- tive to enforce them. We believe in law and order, not in riot and disorder. We believe fn dollars of fuil international value, measured by the marketsof the world. We are not 50-cent Democrats, We favor a tariff forrevenue only, We declare that the Government should not engage in the banking business. We are op- posed to fiat money. We favor the merit sy tem—the fewer spoils the less corruption in public affairs. We belleve In economy in every department of the Government. We {ndorse the administration of President Cleveland. Our principles point the way to stability in government, not to doubtful experiments; to confidence in business, not to unvertainty; to prosperity, not panics. Fellow Democrats, let us take no step back- ward, but march in solid phalanx for the pres- ervation of our glorious republic snd with it the grand old Democratic party. Itsark of the covenant for 1896 is safe 1n the hands of our standard-besrers, nominated by the Indisvap- olis convention, Palmer and Bnckner. And I now take pleasure in introducing the tall hickory of the Wabash, my old colleague in Congress, William D, Bynum. Mr. Bynum was received with cheers. He started in by saying that aiter thirty years in political life as a Democrat he 'ound himself unable to support the ticket nominated at Chicago, for he did not be- lieve the candidates to be Democrats. Con- gressman Bynum went on as follows: 1If there is any principle that 14 eardinal with the Democratic party it is the belief of that party, from the very foundation of its organi- zation down 10 the present time, in the main- tenance of sound money. The question is the all-absorbing question in this campaign. Our volume of money consists to-day o - 000 gola coin, of more than $500, 000 of silver coin, of §346,000,000 of aud about $210, ,000 or more ol 1 bank currency, of $120,000,000 ftreasury notes issued under the Sherman wot, and sbout $31,000,000 of currency- ceriifieates issucd under the sct of 1872. All this money circu- lates not only throughout the United States, but ail over the world on a parity with gold, and what the national Democratic pariy which assembled at Indianapolisand promulated a platform and nominated a ticket insigts that .lil ;hln lz:,mney shall be mpintained at & parity with gold. Our silver dollar to-day is worth notonly 100 cents in the United States, but worth 100 cents all over the world, and what we Demo- crats that oppose the free and unlimited coin- age of silver intend is that it shall be main. tained at a parity with gald all over the world. While the monetary value of our silver dollar is 100 cents, the bullion value or the value of the silver contained in that dollar, not only in the United States, but everywhere, is ouly 53 cents, If the policy of the platiorm at Chicago is carried ont and our mints should be opened to the free and unlimited coinage of silver the effect would be to bring the monetary value and bullion value of the silver dollar together. Either the monetary value of that dollar woula change from 100 cents to 50 cents, or the bul- lion value of silver in that dollar woula rise from 50 cents to 100 cents, or one would come down aund the other wi 20 up until the two meet at some point between the bullion and the monetary value, Mr. Bynum went on in an exhaustive argument of the question. He = since the Chicago convention craze had aba He declared that tae statement of the Bryan supporters that free coinage would advance silver is a fallacy. As Mr. Bynum was closing his remarks the two candidates appe: on the plat- form. General Paimer was nconmr by Charles 8. Fairchild, who was Secretary of the Treasury during President Cleveland’s firsg term, General Buckner was escorted by State Commitreeman John De Witt arner. The candidates were greeted with hearty applause and cheers. Three cheers for General Palmer were given with 4 will, and the band played “'Hail to the Chief,” General Palmer placed himself on a good footing with his sudience by a few happy off-hand remarks, These were vigorously applauded. Then he took his manuscript and read the speech. General Palmer said: 1am here this evening in the attitude ofa didate for the hu‘fbauy of the Uniged tes. Less than & month ago I expectea appearance as little asany one of my alence. Omthe 8d of December the conve tion of National Democrats, rognunu I forty-ome States, assembled in In |mpon.| and honored me presenting my name for the consideration of the people of the United Btates as a candidate for the chief '“5""”’ of the Republic. Ido not know, nor do I be- lieve, that & single delegate to that conven. ton ex) that I could be or would be elected to the Presidency. In h‘?.h the grdmulh- doclamqflx Morruu:lp s made y the convention it not assert such an expectation. The convention was cow posed of stern, ute men. They were the Demo- erats of who contributed their efforts to the ion of that honest, mauly Democrat of whom the convention said: “The fidelity, gnnom- and courage with which Pfl et Cleveland has fuifilled his Bret pu sk the Ligh o bis administration; {ts wisdom and energy in the maiutenance o1 civil order and the éniorce- ment of 1aw; its equal regard for the righis of every class and every section ; its firm and d;, nified conduet of foreign affairs and its stu. persistence in upholaiug ne credit aud honor Ot the Nation are fully recoguized by the Democratic party and will secure to him s Pplace in history Llldl the fathers of the public. We also commend the adminisiration ior the great progress made in the reform of the public service, and we demand thatno backward step be u‘hn, bul that the reiorm be supported nad sdvanced uatil the un-Demo- g’:‘i” stem of appointments shall be - Alter paying this just and well-deserved tribute 1o nn‘Clauhjnd the convention fur- ther said in its asseriion of party priuciples: “The Democratic pariy js pledged to equal and exact justice toall nfen of every creed and condition; 1o the largest frecaom of the indi- vidual cousistent with goud government; to the preservation of the Federal Government in 1ts constitutionsl vigor, sud to the support Of the States in all their just rights; t0 €CONO~ mic pubiic expenditures; to the meinten- ance of the public eredit and sound money snd 1iis opposed to pateroalism and all class legisiation.” This declaration embodies the Democracy of Jeflerson and Jackson and Cleveland. The delegates to the Indiana) tion, as 1 have said, were DemoC publicans or Populfsts. Beiore the assemblage of the Chicago convention tuey and hoped for. the unity of tnis great and historic party, aud they would have made any ordi- nary sacrifice to maintsin that unity. But when they saw the work of that convention they had 10 further hope and felt constrained to announce to the country that tie declara- tions of the Chicago convention aitacked in- dividual freedom, the right of private con- tract, the indepenaeuce of the judiciary and the authority ol the Presideut to eulorce ihe Federal iaws. They advocated a reckiess at- iempt to increase wue price of silver by iegis- lation 10 the debasement Of our monetary stundard and threatened uniimited issues of paper money by the Government. They uban- aoned for Republican allies the Democrutic cause of tariff reform to court the iavor of protectionists, 1a view of their fiscal heresy and other grave departures irom Democmucfrlnuple- Wwe can- not support the candiaates of thatconvention nor be bound by its acts. The Democratic party has survived many defeats, but it could Dot survive a victory won in behalf of the doc- trine aud policy procisimed in ils name at Chicago. 1t will be seen that the convention was not composed of Democrats who wouid first voie the ticket and thei read ine piaiform, nor was it composed of that particular type of Democrat, who seemed to flourisn_with so much vigor in the noble State of New York. It would not be possibie for any delegate to that conveution to vote for the canaidates nominsted in Chicago and reject the platiorm #s uusound and dangerous. it thereiore spoke in no uucertain terms ju condemnat:on or the piatiorm sdopted by the comveations in Chi- cago and St. Louis. The Chicagoconvention wasregularly called, and if it haa adhered to the faith the organiza- tion which I represent would have been en- tirely unnecessary. Indeed, ihousands of Democrats to-duy havesuch respect for orderiy a0d regulur organization that they feel almost constrained to submit to authority. That some Dewnocrats should doubt the policy of resistance o the action of the Chicago conven- tion is but natural. Thut conveution ase sembled claiming to be a regular Democratic conveution, and thousauds ot us who resist its action do so only because it was periectly false to Democratic priuciples. No Democrat ean objeot to the condemnation of the Chicago platform of arbitrary interierence by Federal suthorities in local affaire, 50 much is the weil- understood Democratic theory of the proper relations existing between the States and the General Government. But thereal meaaing is well understool to bave been iutended as an indorsement of the Governor of Illinois [hisses] and a condemna- tion of the President for acts which were unanimously approved by the Senate of the United States and were sirictly in conformity with his duty as the chief magistrate of the Repubiie. ‘hat part of the mouey question a of popuiar atientio ?hunrm which refers (o the ‘racts the largest measure nd it is to that clause of the Cnicago platiorm and the corresponding clauses of the glnlnrm adopted by the Indian- apolis convention that I provosé to direct at- tention. I repeat the siatement that the Indianapolis convention in general terms as- serted the true relation of the Democratic pariy to the interests of this great country. The Chicago platiorm declares und recognizes that the money question is ount to all others at this iime. The free coinage of silver, as julerpreted by Mr. Bryan, means the ad- vance in commereial value of ail the siiver, bullion and coin, and indeed all commercial nlllvae-r, to equality in commercial value with 0] . The real qun.flen then is, Can the American people by a | autborizing the unlimited coinage of silver dollars on private account at the ratio of 16 ounces of silver to 1 of goid, with full legal tender, make the silver coinage of the worid of equal acceptability and value and of equel power In the markets and in the payment of debts with all the gold coined in ilie worid? This statement of the question is made in usual form, but neither its truth norits exuctness will be questioned b: any thoughtful man after he has fully eonnn! ged the rapid methods of modern intercom. unication and the actiyities of commercial life. [Applause). In my judgment such results as I have de- scribed are impossible of accomplishment by the measure proposed. I admit that silyer bullion may be advanced in commereial value by its increased usefuiness, but no advance to a parity with gold is possible, and the whole result of the measure will be the depreciation of the value of colnage, the ruin of publicand rivate credit, the disturbance of business, the isturbance of values and the overthrowing of all American industries. The Democratic party. true to its principles and traditions, is compelled to oppose it. [Appllune.] 1t in- vokes the teachings and policies of its reyvered sages to arrest the destruction of that great party and save the country jrom humiliation and dishonor. [Applause., The United States must continue to enforce its own laws by its own methods. In the States and elsewhere the courts must be sus- tained in the exercise of their largest author- ity. Iflegislation is necessary to eniarge, ex- pand, limit or define their jurisdiction thnt proper legislation must be made by law mak- ing departments of the United States and of the respective States. [Applause.] The credit of the United States and the geveral States and the munigipaiities of the States must be mainiained. The people must not be invited to repudiate. To thwart these disastrous consequences tue National Democ- m‘{ invites the co-operation of their brethren and of all the people. When General Palmer finished and had been cheered to the satisfaction of the crowd Mr. Flower introduced the candi- date for Vice-President. General Buckner was received with great cheers, and bowed his thanks, Some one shouted, “Three cheers for the Southern eneral,” which were given. General uckner referred to the cordial reception Boutherners received at the hands of New York audiences, and then branched into 2 review of the issue of 1861-64 and its rela- tiou to the present issu: s, General Buckner L?en dissected the Chi- cago platform, and’told- his story of the old musket handed down from former generations wiich had none of the origi- nal parts remaining except the touchhale. He said that is all that is left of the Chi- cago platform. —_— ——— BANKERS IN CONVENTION. Every Section Represented at the Meeting in St. Lowis. 8T.

TRYING TO SAVE THE COUNTRY Peculiar but Oft-Repeated Pleas of the Nebraska Orator tor Cheap Money. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sevt. 22.—Wil- liam J. Bryan left Wilmington, Del., at 10:05 o'clock this morning and reached Chester, Pa.,at 10:23. He made the trip 1n a special car attached to a regular train, provided by the Chester reception com- mittee. Senator Gray of Delaware, one of Mr. Clevelanda’s main supporters in the State, was on the train and came into Mr. Bryan's car. The candidate and Senator talked together until Chester was reached. A large crowd received Mr. Bryan at the station. At Turner and Woodrows Park Mr. Bryan was cheered by a good-sized audience, and made a brief speech. From the stand Mr. Bryan went to the Colon- nade Hotel, where he held a reception, leaving there in ti: to take the il:43 train for Philadelphia. A crowd of about 500 people were awaits ing Mr. Bryan's arrival at the Broad- street station of the Pennsylyania road, which he reached at 11:45 o’clock. The candidate left the platform and the crowd cheerea heartily, and Mr. Bryan bowed his thanks as he hurried toward his car- riage. Mr. Bryan was driven to the La- fayette Hotel, which wiil be his headquar- ters while here. Awaiting in front of the hotel was a small crowd of people, who cheered Mr, 8ryan as he drove up. At the hotel was a delegation of about thirty New Jersey Ftate committeemen. Mr, Bryan was introduced to the delegation and then went to luncheon. At 1:30 o’clock Mr. Bryan was taken by boat to Washington Park, a summer re- sort on the New Jersey side of the Dela- ware River, where he spoke this aiternoon. Hon. T. J. Wrigbt introduced Mr, Bryan, who said in part: Imet a prominent man yesterday who said that until the Chicago conyention acted on the subject he had never investigated the money question and supposed that there was nounn{ in {t; that the papers did notseem to consider it worth thiuking about. They re- garded it s a craze, ard ne did not have time, &8s a business man, 1o pay auy attention to crages, But when a great National party sdopted & platform making the money ques- tion the paramount issue he began to think about it. That was only a few weeks ago. He got 1o be & crank. He said to me: “If we don’t win this fight it Is going on until we do, and we don’t cere how msny years it takes.” Ican appreciate the feeling of that man. I went through the same experience myself, Until six years ago I thought any man who talked about money was & harmless crank. I did not listen to his arguments. They had no weight with me. I led the question. I read books on both sides and compared themn, and the more I read the deeper became my couviction, until I became so firmly of the ‘opinion that there could not be prosperity in this countr; until free silver was restored that I was will- ing to risk 11 T on the correctness of that conelusion. [Great Ap%hun.] We haye gone through in Nebraska the same process that we have gone through inm other States. We began the fight in Nebraska. It is the pioneer, The platiorm adopted st Chicago on ihe siver questlon was first adopted In Nebraska by the silver Democrats there. When we di it we had bolters, 100, as they bave had since. We had men who claimed to be Democrats who would not agree to our plat- form. They called themselves better Demo- crats thau we were and voted the Republican ticket to prove it. [Laughter,] We belfeve the Demoeratic party, which owed 11s success 1o the toiling masses, must still stand by them 1o their fight against the few if it deserves to continue iis existence, We urged in Nebraska s free-silver league. The members of that league made an open fight. They did not go around in the dark wearing a mask. The said to the Democratic party of the State: “We are going to take possession of the machiner; of the party if we can; we are going to submit this question to the voters.” We wentout and presented the questions. When our State Convention met we had three ta one and we made that platform which hes been re-adopted by the National Demo- cratic Convention. There was a fierce contest, then we organized a bimetallic league, which went out to do with the Nation what the free- .-sflver Democrats of Nebraska had done in that tate. When they got to the National Convention, some peopie came from New York to instruct the delegates. A distinguished man who usea to cail himself a Democrat [a voice, **Hill"" no, Mr. Whiiney, went down and said as soon a8 the yeople of the West found out how the peovle of the East felt about this subject he did not think there wouid be any trouble car- rying the convention against silver. He came back home and found he did not know how the people of the East felt about it. The Demo- cratic party in his own State has declared that it unreservedly indorses the free silver plank of the Natioual platform, and that it is the ‘best Democratic platform ever adopted in this country. [Applause.] We never had a con- vention in this couniry which more correctly "P!Ilgn the sentiment of the people who fent the delegates to that eonven}:mn which met at Chicago. 1t is honor enough to be a nominee of a con- Yention for the President, butit isa higher honor yet to be the nomineo of the most Dem- ocratic convention ever heid in this country. 1t {s suflicient houor to be nominated by the Mmachinery of a party, but it is a higher honor still to be nominated by the people of & party regardless of the machinery. [Appisuse] Since that platform was adopted the people have continued to study the money question. What do they find? They find that the people of the West'and South, wno bave been legis- lating for the regtoration of pimetalifsm, in- stead of trying to ruin the country are irying tosave it. [Applause.] Your peopie are producing manufactured products here largely. Where do you get your consumers? Wipe out the farming popunlatidn and where will you sell the goods you pro- duce? How myouxolng to 'increase your markets? By inereasing ihe number of people abie to buy what you produce. Will you do that by making doliars dearer? No, doilars do not'eat. Tnéy devour l{rell deal, but they dou’t eat. - How are you going to creale mar. kets? By increasing dollars in the hands oy thejew? No, you haye got 1o restore pros- perity by stopping the fall of prices for men who seli what they produce 10 get money to ‘buy what you produce. [Applause.] - Mr. Bryan then gave quotations from John Sherman, James G. Blaine and John G Carlisle, showing them to have for- merly been in favor of the free coinage of silyer. LSRR A TALKED IJN PHILADELPHIA, Orowds Turned Uut to Hear the Orator of the Shallow Platte. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 22.—Five thousand people packed closely in the Academy of Music, with a seating capac- ity of 3200, heard William J. Bryan de- liver the first of three addresses made to Philadelphia aundiences to-night. Many thousands more swarmed in the streets outside the building, and the address was warmly applauded. An enormous crowd remained for hours outside the Lafayette Hotel to see Bryan. Equally great was the assemblage that thronged Broad and Wharton streets in front of the Southwestern Democratic Clab to hear the third and last address of the evening. In all Mr. Bryan's cam- paigning he never drew crowds of greater magnitude and the Academy of Music ‘was entirely inadequate for the principal Bryan demonstration. It was packed from floor to gallery. Thedoors had to be closed early in the evening, for the building would bold no _more, and those inside were pressed together as tightly as could be. But the crowd inside was as nothing in point of numbers compared to the packed masses in the streets. On Broad street, outside the Hotel Lafayette, u great crowd choked progress for more than an hour before Mr. Bryan left the hotel jor the academy. Passage 1 vehicles was impos- sible, and even the exira squad of poiice~ men who were sent to clear a way for Mr. Bryan at the entrance found much diffi- cuity in foreing their way through. When Mr. Bryan left his rooms t6 enter his carriage several hundred men who nad been held in check in the lobby and cor- ridors of the hotel broke through the line of guards and rushed aiter him pell- mell. ith Mr. Bryap were Chairman Curley of the city executive committee; ex-Congressman Kerr of Pennsylvania, Congressman Sulzer of New York and members of the local committees. Sev- eral of these were caught in the rush and failed to keep up with the candidate. Pieces of turniture were overturned and a crashing of glass bore witness to the great rush that marked Mr. Bryan's pass- age through the hotel. Mr. Bryan was sent flying along tbe corridors, pusied through narrow doorway and raced to his carriage by way of the Sansom-street entrance, thuseluding the crowd on Broad street. There was a crush at the Academy, pbut Mr, Bryan was fifll“? landed on the stage looking very much like the center rush in a football 8une after attempting the flying wedge. Ouiside the Academy was another mass of humanity packed deep in Broad street and loppini over into the adjoining thoroughfares. It was a good-natured crowd and seemed willing enough to be entertained by campaign orators who spoke from trucks and other conspicuons places. It was 8:45 when Mr. Bryan reached the Academy of Music. A wave of enthusi. asm swept through the overcrowded audi- torium as he came on the stage. Jokn W. Gorman, chairman of the State Committee, introduced Mr. Bryan, who recerved another ovation as he stepped forward to speak. Almost every sentence he uttered was followed by loud cheers. Mr, Bryan repeated his usual argumeat for iree coinage. will remain one hour. The trip from Parkersburz to Wheeling will be riade by -roci-l train, reaching ‘Wheeling at-7:30 for a night ‘meecting.

The party will then take a sp2cial train to Hanting- ton, arriving there at 1 o'clock, giving an hour and a half tothe peovle at that point. At Huntington Mr. Bryan will Iaro- well to West Virginia and take the regn- lar Chesapeake and Ohio train, the fasf- flving Virginian, for St. Louis 1o attend the meeting of the National Demoeratic clubs, He will be accompaniea throngh west Virginia by & specisl escort com- mittee. —_— TREACHERY 18 SUSPEOTED. at 2:80- tbe pa: Thacher’s Letter Settles AU Doubt Abous Bryan Losing New Xork, WASHINGTON, D. C., 8ept. 22.—What- ever pretense there has been at Demo- cratic headquarters of a hope that Mr, Bryan had any chance to carry New York has been abandoned. The letter of Mr. Thacher adhering to bis sound-money views, but avowing loyalty to the Chicago platform’s candidates, was regarded by Democratic msnagers as equivalent to S e BRYAN’'S BUNT FOE FOTES, The Silver Candidate to Be Hurried Through West Virginia. WASBINGTON, D.

Considering the nature of the Hungarian Bitter Water Springs, it must obviously be desirable for the medical profession and the public to be assured authori- tatively that the working of these Springs is carried on in a scientific manner, and not merely on commercial lines, and with this view the Uj Hunyadi Springs, from which “ Apenta” Water is drawn, are placed under the absolute control of the Royal Hungarian Chemical Institute (Ministry of Agriculture), Buda Pest.

Ex-Governor Campbell tried the experiment of running a sound-money man on a free-silver platiorm in Obio two yaers ago, and the result was a plurality of nearly 100,000 for Governor Bashnell. The Democratic managers admit that Mr. Thacher’s course has placed the party in his State in & most absurd position. Some of them believe that the party owes it to Mr. Bryan to saerifice the State to principles and to repudiate Mr. Thacher by the nomination ior the Governorship a straight-out silver man, and in thiy con- nection the young understudy of Henry Qlay, to wit,"Congressman Suizer, 1s men- tioned. Mr. Suizer has been bubbling over with free silver sentiment and went to Buffalo prepared to accept the nomina- tion for the governorship. 1t were better, they say, to go down with Suizer and prin- ciples than to win with Thacher and dis- loyalty. There is no grave danger, how- ever, of either contingency. Senator Tillman is here and discusses the situalion in characteristic style. He sees in Thacher’s nomination the cloven hoof and the forked tail of his aneient euemy, David Bennett Hill, *1 is a deal between Hill and Oleveland to exchange the State ticket and the Leg- islature for the National ticket,” said Mr. Tillman. *“The silver men ought to put out a ticket of their own for the governor- ship, either a Democrat or an independ- ent.” Mr. Tillman added that there was alto- gether too much treachery to the National ticket in various places; therefore, he had small hopes for Democratic success in the East. Mr. Faulkner arrived this afternoon, put he refused to make any comment on Mr, Thacher’s letter. NEW TO-DAY. AT ROOS BROS.
