BRTAYS TRAVELS IV NEW EIRLAD Delivers' Many. Speeches to Inquisitive Crowds of 1% _Natives. SOME QUESTIONS ASKED “People ’.Who"Do. ‘Not ‘Swallow ‘“the- -Silver Argument - Very Readily. PLEA FOR THE YALE STUDENTS The fioy Orator Asks That the Young Collegians Be Not Juiged Harshly. NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 28.=Candi- date’ Bryan’s journey from New London to New York was interesting chiefly by his reception at New Haven and his pub- lic comment while there on the trouble the Yale studeats gave him the other day. As if to show Mr. Bryan how many peo- ple inthe o!d collegze town disapproved of “the annoyances which he suffered at the hands of the students, New Haven people “gathered in force at the railroad station to see fhe Presidential candidate. Several thousand were present as the train came to a stapdstill. The cheering was very hearty as he appeared and the few re- :marks he made were roundly applauded. “Mr. Bryan said: Ientered New England when 1 entered Con- necticut, and I will leave New England when’ I leave Connecticut to-night. My visit has | een-a yvery pleasant one and 1 shall carry awey with me only agreedble recollections. “There’ are_no Yale students here to- day, Mr. Bryan,” called Gut somebody in the crowd. . S +“Do not griticise the boys so harshly,” “said | Mr. Bryan; “I'am not inclined to criticise them as.severely as some others have, I have:been a college’ boy myself, | and 1am inclined to attribute their inter- | | ription more to youthful exuberance than | to any’ deliberate. intention . to “interfere with- free speecht. [Cheers.] I shall always | be glad to return to New Haven when cir- cumstances .will permit, and I am sure | that whatever miay be my.subject I will | be able to find persons .here who are willing to listen even if they do not agree. - [Great applause.] I am glad. to notice the.growih of the silver sentiment ip New Engiand.” | The tra*n remained st New Haven five | ‘minutes only, and as it drew out of the | station an enthusiastic yell went up Irom the assemirage.

I have always believed that any one who contributed 10 a nation’s prosperity, who added 10 a na- tion’s wealth or to a nation’s greatness, a business man. [Applause.] Sometimes bur opponents try o array the wage.earning class—they who work in factories or by the day for an employer—against the farming 1t 1 want to show you that you cannot ate the interests of the wage-esrning from the interests of the farming You don’'t produce shoes for orna- ut for wear. People cannot wear shoes until they are able to buy shoes and they cannot buy shoes unless they have the money to buy with,and they cannot get money to buy shoes with until they sell something they haye and get that money. Now, you sell shoes to people West and South. 1f you drive down the price of all those things which the farmers produce so that when they sell their erops they cannot more than pay their debts and interest and taxes, whatmoney will they have to buy shoes with? Are you go- ing to add to the prosperity of Lynn by mak- ingmore people go barefoot? [Cries of ‘No, never.”] The wage-earners of Lynn will be idle until there is a demend for the products of the factories of Lynn, and there can be no demand for that product as long as you drive money up and property down. Falling prices—hard times, and hard times | have never been advocated in a platform by any party, although the Republican platform this year, without directly saying so, promises 1o continue times hard and make them harder. [Applause.] Do you deny that propo- sition? I want you to ook at that platform, It declares agold standard is not desirable be. cause the party pledges itself to get rid of it. 1f the doubie standard is not more desirable than ths gold why does the Refivubli- can party want to make any change? If the gold standard is good we ought to keep it, but when the Republican party attempts to get rid of it it admits it 1s not as good as bimerallism, But they promise you, notwithstanding their desire 10 get rid of the gold standard, that they will keep it until other nations help us to get rid of it. Until then they say we must maintain the gold standsrd [A voice: “Yes, but we won’t.” [No, Iaon’t think we will myself. If we maintain the gold standard we must maintain those things which are necessarily attached to it. We mnst maintain this system of issuing bonds to buy gold whenever we wantgold. When we issue bonds and buy gold we create a demand for gold and raise its purchasing power throughout the world, but We are contracting our cusrency by pillig it up In the vaulits at Washington whien it ought to be out doing business among the people, [Applause.] You manufacturers and merchants go to the banks for money. The banks tell you they are very sorry they cannot loan any more just now. There cin be no more in this country than the people permit. If you make your laws 80 you draw a part of the money. out of circulation and lock it up you cannot use itin your business and have it in the vaults at | Washington at the same time. That looks plain enough. Yet there are finarciers who go on the theory that the mora money you také out of circulation the more you have left in it. [Applause.] There are financiers who actualiy rejoiced at the issue of bonds, and said it would restore confidence, They are trying to run business in this coun- iy with 8 larger and larger percen tage of con- fidence to the smount of money on hand [laughter], and if they go on the people wiil have all the confidence and uo momey. ndard There is only one place where they think the confidence game won't work. You go toone | of these men who is all the time talking about confidence and ask hiin to loan money. He uys, “Whet security have you?” You sa He will tell you he is not loaning on confi- dence this year. [Langhter.) \ Why is it the financiers are so anxious for you to haye confidence in them when they dont’ have any confidence in you? They want security and tell you to geta good name on your note or put something up that is sala. ble. The troubie isthat thiugs that used to Security thut | used to be good 1s not good security any more. | They are driving down the value of your se. | curity by drivicg up the vaiue of money. | There is only ome way to restore confidence | aud that is to give confidence a basis to rest on, | Mr. Bryan returued with Mr, Sewalland ’ the other members of the party to the| repeatedly.

My iriénds, our opponents think that they can dw.ro* agitation by com- mauding it to keep still. They might as well iry to sweep back the waves of the ocean. [A piause.] The have interjected into the body politic ‘a foreign financial lgl m, and there is agitation aud there will be egitation until you remove it. [Aggllune -1 say a foreign &ystem, bacausé we borrowed it from apother country [applause], not only borrowed it, but, my friends, we are anxious to refurn it to the land from which we borrowed it. [Greatap- Dlx.r‘"y:l doubt it Tet me cail your attention to this fact, that until this campaign no political party in'the United States ever declared the gold standard a good thing. The ublican arty declares that bimeiallism is desirable, Pat antii the leading nations of y desire bimetallism, we must go without it am uawilling to admit that foreign natipns shall determine what kind of financial s tem we shall have in thiscountry. [Applause. We advocate an independent financial polic we advocate the adoption of & system by the American pecple ‘or the American people and, my friends, one of the evidences that we are right is that our opponents are not willing to openly declare that which thev are secretly seeking to secure. [Anplause.] No Republi- can is willing to write upon a card and wear upon his breast that while he is an American citizen he does not think this Nation is big enough to attend to its own business [ap- lause], and that is what the Republican plat- orm means. A voice—Where will we be when we get free silver? Mr. Bryan—Are you in favor of a gold standard ? The yoice—I am. “Teil me why.” 2 The voice—Because I believe it is the best for the *country. Every nation will accept a gold dollar for a dollar, Mr. Bryan—Why? I will tell you. Be- cause of its value. The reason why our gold dollar and gold bnllion are worth the same is because the law says you can con- vert bullion into a dollar at th- mint. The voice—Well, how about silver? Mr. Bryan—Wher the laws are so under the free coinage of silver that the holder of silver bullion can convert his silver bullion into dollars at the mint that will fix a mint price for silver then, as we have a mint price for gold now, and silver dol- lars will be worth as much abroad as our gold dollars. [Great applause and cheer- ing.] Now, my friends, I do not object to have questions asked, because 1f I am wrong on this question there is nobody more anxious to find it outthan 1 am. Batif 1 am right and my iriend is wrong Inhope he will be anxious to getrightas I am. [Greatapplause.] Questionsdonot hurt, my friends. We are glad to answer questions, because there is not a question tuat can be answered by an advocate of the gold standard that cannot be answered by advocaies of free coinage. [Applause and cries of “Why don’t McKinley come out and answer some of them?"’] A voice—People here have the impres- sion that when the free coinage of silver is brought into effect they can take their silver pots ana coin them into money. Mr. Bryan—The gentleman says the people have tne impression that under free coinage the peopie can iake silver tea- pots and silverware and have it coined into money. It is true that under free coinage any man can melt up a dol- lar and a haif’s worth of spoons and have the silver coined into one dollar and twenty-nine cents, if you have a man who is fool enough todo it. [Great applause.] Now, why will people refuse to melt up their silverware? Because it wili be worth more as silverware than it will be worth in silver dollars under free coinage [ap- plause], and, my friends, you can depend upon it that people will' not do things which are going to hurt if they know it. That is one the | Boston and Maine Raiiroad station, fol- | things that you. base your reasoning | lowed by a big crowd, which cheered him | upon and in tbat connection I frequently huve people ask me, “Wo sible for a man to buy s cents’and have it coined into a dollar and make the difference?’ |[Lauchter and a voice, “Who is going to sell11?"'] The gentleman asks the question, which shows he understands it. He savs who weuld sellit. Now, when you cannot coin silver you can buy for fifty-three cents the silver idn’t it oe pos- er for fiity-three . “Btamford, where guite a thron h- 5 e L O0& Was gath- | paliroad, which left at 9 o'clock for Provi- Mr. Bryan arrived at the Hotel Bar.|dence. . ol - tholdi in this city at5 o’clock this even- | George Fred Williams met Mr. Bryan ing.

J., Sept. 28.—=William | *J. Bryan was received by a crowd of 20,000 peopie in this city to-night. It was one of the. noisiest and hardest crowds to control that Mr. Bryan has faced thus far in the campaign. The candidate arrived from New. York at 6:53-and was met- at the | " depotby a committee and escortea in a carriage to the speaker’s stand on Coates Hill, about which an immense throng gathered. Justas the carriage ‘appeared the horses became {rightened at bursting bombs and. plunged forward. The crowd became almost panic-stricken. They conld not fall’ back owing to the solid wali of < human beings behind. Two policemen Lumped forward and grasped the bridles, olding thp borses in check before any dumn;: was done. 1e. With much difficulty Mr. . an was' pushed upon the plat- form. The crowd was very noisy and it * Wwas impossible to secure silence for over fifteen minutes. ‘When quiet was restored Mr. Bryan was introduced by Munson Force, chairman of the Democratic County Committee. Mr. Bryan discussed the money question at gredt length. pe 5 TALRS MUCH AS HE TRAVELs. Bryan .Pleads for Free BSilrer to New - England Audiences. LYNN,” Mass., Sept. 28— William J. ‘Bryan-reached Lynn from Bath at 5:30 =o'clock this morning. Five hours of sléep had been his preparation for to-day’'s hard work. He reached Newburyport at 4:45, « where a reception committee from Lynn - boarded the train, and other local dele- ° gations met him and led the cheering for a knot of sleepy - looking people who awaited his coming. With" Mr. Bryan ¢ Arthur Sewall, who will accompany - his running mate to New York; Josephus “Daniels of North Cidrolina, Fred W. Plaisted of Augusta and 8. 8. and M. W. ..-Bewsll, nephews of the Vice-Presidential *candidate. The party-was taken to the Hotel Sey- mour, and while breakfast was being pre- pared Mr. Bryan tried to get a little more sleep. At 7:30 o'clock Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall left the Hotel Seymour for Highland square, where the Presidential candidate spoke. Despite the early hour .a‘great crowd had gathered there. Mr. Bryan was introduced by John Driscoll and mede & half-hour speech. Mr. Bryan said in part: « Our ments are all the time asserting thet bu g:u men ought to take an interest in this campaign in orcer to protect their busi- pess interests. It has always made me indig- nant that & few ple in each community should assume to be the only business peo in it and should always insist upon thrusting their business interests forward 1n preference | by that distinguisbhed educator wno lives in | lism and calls attention to the injustice of the | and left with them on the tran. PROVIDENCE, R. 1, Sept. 28—Mr. Bryan’s inp from Boston to Providence was without special incident., No stops were made en toute, and Providence was | reacned at 10:0L. Fifteen thousand neople greeted Mr. Bryan in this city. A plat- form had been erected near the soldieis’ and ssilors’ monument on Exchange place, and here ex-Governor Davis intro- duced the Democratic candidate. After warning the crowd against pickpockets Mr. Bryan said: When I define an honest dollar as an honest dollar which does noichange in its purchas- g power, it may give to you & defiuition | which has been a sound definition among ail | writers on_political economy. When I give | | you that definition Ism simply giving you a definition which has been given to the world this city aud who is an honor, not only to the city and to this State, but to the Nation. [Ap- | plause.] President Ardrews in a receit work eutitled ““An Honest Dollar,” commences the | first chepter with the words which I shail quote: “Itis aiways assumed or admitted that the ideal sort of money wouid be money with a unit, having a steadiast general purchasivg power.” When-President Andrews describes | ihe ideal mouey as & money whose unit is the | steadiast or general vower, he plinted himself upon the solid roc and il the financiers of this or other coun- | tries cannot preva:l ageinst the cnaracter of | this definirion. [Appiause.] | The poet has told us that “An honest man | is the nobiest work of God.” We may suppie- | ment this statement by adding that an houest | dollar, wherever it is found or e, will be | the noblest work of man. - But, my iriends, the goid dollar which is praised to-day as’ the onest doilar, is not the honest doilar, and | those who love it most, love it because of ils own dishouesty as a dollar. [Applause.] An honest dollar is one which preserves its gen- eral purchasing power from day to day and from vear (o year. Then the dollar which rises in purchasing power is just as dishonest as | the doliar which {ails in purchasing power, If one of our Western men edvocites bimetal- gold standard, they say that he lacks educa- tion, and when a léarned man like Professor Andrewsadvocates b/metallism and denounces the gold stendard wiin empnasis which can- not be surpassed, what do ihey say of hLim?— “Much learning hath made him mad.” We sav that anybody who has a plece of gold sufficient to make one dollar can have thatdoliar coined into & dollar. Aud the fact that sny holder of gold bullion can at any time convert that builion into money enables him to charge for that gola buliion the mint rice. The mint price for silver would be es- tablished the same as the mint price for gold has been estabiished. Under iree coinage at 16 to 1 a man who owns silver bullion knows that he can take it 10 the mint and have it converted into dollars of 100 cents of United States money. Some of our opponenis have beeu calculating as t0 how much money they could make under iree coinage in buying silver for 50 cents and having it coined intc 100 cents. I1f anyof you held silver bullion ‘would you sell it to anybody for half the mar- ke:,a p,rlce and let the purchaser make the profit? . NEW LONDON, Coxw., Sept. 28.—Mr. Bryan reached New London from Provi- denca at 12:17 P. M. A siand had been erected at the soldiers’ and sailors’ monu- ment ad jacent to the railway station and from this Mr. Bryan made an address an bour long to an audience of 3000 peaple. He was cheered frequentiy and asked sev- eral questions by people in the crowd. After reference to the fact that this was the county in which Lyman Trumbull was born, Mr. Bryan P.ld a warm tribute to the late Senator's memory. Continuing, he said: To-day I leave Conmecticut. I have been through the several New England States, and ouly one I haye not been able to visit. Icame to New England to preach the cause and 1o de- fend the principles for which I stand this time. [Applause.] Icame because there is no m of ihe country where those who advocate coinage are unwilling to present their cause. There is no part of this country which is excluded from the benefits of bimelallism; there is no part of this country which we are willing to concede to the gold standard. [Ap- plause and cheers]. Some of the Republican platforms of tne Eastern States have not only declared against silver, but have declared against agitation. When I flod & man who is oyl)oud 1o & aiscus- sion of a public question | find a man who would feel more st home under a monarch than he would under a republic. [Avplause.] Agiation 15 nothing but discussion [appiause and cries of “That's 8o’ d discussion ?l the oniy means by which mcsopu can find out what is best, and_remedy the wrong. [Ap- plause.]\ A man who denounces agitation;a man who oppos:s public discussion of public, questions would have you suffer and not per that is in a dollar, but when you can bave | that silver coined for a dollar then you | canniot find anybody who will sell you that silver for fifiy-three cents. Now, my friends, if the farmer cannot get money for what he proauces how is nie going to have the money to buy what other people have 1o seil? [A voice, “Start up the mills.”] Continuing Mr. Bryan said: Suppose you start up the mills; how are you going to dfspose of the things which the mill produce anless people can buy tbe produce of your mills? While the Republicans are accus- ing us of arraying class egainst class they are dolug more in this campaign 10 appeal to class distinctions and class interests than was ever done by any party in the bistory of the United St Applause.] Out in my State the Re- mmittee tried toarray the school- rers against the people who pry the taxes. You will see every day letters sent out trying to array the wege-carner against the farmer. Chey tell the man who is drawiug asalery that the free coinage of silver will hurt him and that heanust 100k out for his salary. They have not appealed to the people in this cou try and asked them to Consider the interests of the country. Look at the applications which are furnished to railcoad men. [Afp.ause.] They are ear- nestly requested 10 ouserve their own inter- esis by joining & club, and in the application you wiil find a statement like this: “Iam- opposed to free coinage because it would in- jure me &s & wage-earner.” They want those who join sound-money ciubs 1o assertthat they have an individual personal reason for antagonizing free silver, and yet the great dvocates of the gold standard” want you to elieve that they have no personal interest for favoring & gold standard. [Applause.] Do the members of the syndicates wuich have been bleeding the country assert that they bave a pecuniary interest in bleeding tne Government, and therefore they don’t want that right taken away from them? Do the heads of the raiiroads say thai they have any interest in this campaign in trying to prevent arbitration? No. Do they assert that they are in this campaign for biood, be- canse they want 10 comtinue government by injunction? Not at all. [Applause.] They want you to belicve that they are patriotic | people who lie awake et night wondering how they can do something for roliing humanity. [Laughter and applause.] They are notoniy irying to array lne wuge-earner against the farmer, but thes make a special appeal to the depositors in the savings banks, aid tell you they don’t want free coinage of siiver because it will enable them to pay Lheir depositors in cheap dollars, and taey ere afraid thatif they are euabied to do so that they won't have the moral courage to do so, but will pay you in go'd doliars. 1 know a little ahout the banking business, T will know more as soon as I get my tax divi- dend on the amount I had deposited when the bank 1ailed. [Laughter.] We had a cashier of that bank who was afraid of silver and wanted honest money, and was afraid that the people wotld get 50-cent dollate They would neve been glad loset paid o 50-cent dollars. [Great cheering and laughter.] Mr. Blaine in 1878 said that the dest uction of silver as money and the establishmentof the gola dollar as the sole unit of value must have s ruinous effect on all forms of property except those investments which yield a fixed return in money, and these would be enormously enhanced in yalue and gain a disproportionate and unfair ad- vantage over every oiner species of property. [Cheers.] *Would it not be as hard to change the standard of money in the world as it would to change the standard of weights and measures in the world?” asked a voice. Iwill answer your question by saying that in the first piace the world has no standard of weights and measures, and we have been un- able to bring the nations of the world to agree 10 & standard of weights and measures. [Great Ipfllnl!.] In the second El-oe why did you not give that advice in 1873 you are giving now? Tn? changed our standard of money then and for twenty years they have tried to keep us from uundo! what they did then. [Cheers.] Those who denied the right of the people 10 use the law 1o restore silver to its rightful place are the very ones who helped to alaw twenty-three years ago to destroy he free coinage of silver and substitute & new standard after the nationsof the world had tried bimetallism and after this Nation had tried it from the beginningof the Nation down to that time. They cannot decide what other nations shall do, but I insist that we shall de- c'fi: what this Nation shall do. [Great ap- ® Di Austria ask our consent when she re- sumed specie payments on a gold basis ? Did Italy ask our consent when she resumed specie payments on a gold basis ? Did ‘the’ other na- tions of the world ssk our consent when they chenged their standards ? No, sir. What man, what man who wants to be an American wants to get down on his knees and ask other .l““-;’ consent w:‘:n we wa-t to do )'u;l; we esse?

My (riend wants toknow how that would change the standard of the world.

[Great applause and cheers.] George Fred Williams also spoke. — PORTER IN THACHER’S PLACE. ElePated to the Head of the Ticket by the Silver Democrats. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 28.—The regu- lar Democratic ticket of the State of New York, revised by the State Commiitee this evening, For Governor—Wilbur F. Porter of Watertown. For Lieutenant-Governor — Fred C. Schraub of Lowville. ¥or Associate Justice Court 6f Appeals— Robert C. Titus of Buffalo. It was supposed to be settled that Elliott Danforth, chairman of the State Commit- tee, would be placed at tue head of the ticket to fill the vacancy caused by the declination of John Boyd Thacher. At the eleventh hour Mr. Danforth, who had been in telephonic communication with Senator Hill, dec.ded that he would not vermit his name to be used. He told tne committee so, and the managers of the Democratic campaign got together and decided to push Judge Porter up from second place to firstand to nominate Fred C. Shraub Lieutenant-Governor. No change was made in third place on the ticket. The committee was called to order by Chairman, Danforth at 9:15 P. M. After rolicall Bernard F. Yoke reportied for the committee appointed to notify candidates that Mr. Thac.er had declined, but had stated that he intended to support the Chicago ticket and tue State ticket of the party. Chairman Danforth called Thomas F. Grady to the chair and presented the name of Wilbur F. Porter as a candiaate for Governor. There were no more nomina- tions. Before the vote was taken Mr. Purroy inquired where Mr. Porter stood in regard to the platform. Mr. Danforth stated tbat Mr. Porter would stand squarely upon the platform of the commitiee and fully in- dorses the Chicago platform. The vote Wwas unanimous. 5 Charles N. Bulger of Oswego presented the name of Frederick C. Schrgnb for Lieutenant-Governor. He statef that Mr. Schraub was one of the delegates to the Chicago convention and was one of the first to declare himself for the Chi- cago ticket and platform. Mr. Schraub was nominated unanimously, A committee was appointed and Candi- date Schraub was brought into the room. Mr. Schraub made a short speech, in which he expressed his gratification at having received the honor of a unanimous nomination. All the members of the committee were present or represented by proxies. Frederick C. Schraub, the nominee for Licutenant-Governor, is a native of this Stats, of German parentage. He was three terms District Attorney of Lewis County. When .the Dairy Commission was done away with and a Commisfioner of Agricuiture created, Mr, Schraub was appointed by Governor Morwn as one of the Directors of the State Agricul- tural Staiion at Geneva. He now holds that place. FOR BRYAN ND WATSON, Aotion Taken by Nebraska Middle-of-the- Ioad Populists. LINCOLN, NEsR., Sept. 28.—The out- come of the middle-of-the-road Populist convention to-day does not change in any way the status of the party in Nebraska. The conventisn was much of a farce at best, with no regularly elected delegates, and not more than a dozen men outside this -county in attendance. Populists favorable to Bryan and fusion with Demo- crats captured the convention and despite the passionate protest of C. McKay, the prime mover in the meeting, put the con- vention on record as favoring the plan outlined by the regular State convention in the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That we, the representatives of the mjdale-of-the-road Populists of Nebraska in convention assembled, hereby indorse W.J. Bryan and T. E. Watson as candidates for Presidenc and Vice-President of the United States; also the Presidential electors and all nominees uf the Populist party in the State, and pledge them our bearty suppoft, and it is the semse of this convention that any one failing to support such nominees is not & true Populist. This leaves the whole matter just where it was, with four Bryan and Watson and four Bryan and Sewall electors. Mr. Clark’s protest is due to the charge that there is a secret understanding between the Democrats and half-hearted Pppulists that Sewall is to have the entire eight votes. No effort was made to nominate a Btate ticket. CIGARMAKERS IN SESSION Progress Made During the Year by the International Union. Billions of Smokes Turned Out and Millions Earned by the M:n Employe: DETROIT, Micn., Sept, 28,—Nearly 300 delegates were present in Turner Hall this morning when President G. W. Perkins calied the twenty-firsi session of the Cigarmakers' International Union of America to order. Thomas Dolan, repre- senting the local unions, made an address of welcome, which was responded to by President Perkins. A committee on cre- dentials was appointed, and the commit- tee adjourned until the afternoon. At the afternoon session President Per- kins read his report, v hich was an ex- haustive one. The report shows that the cigar trade has not materially improved, although there has been a slight increase in the output. The total product for con- sumption in the United States alone for the fiscal year ending June 30, 189, was 4,237,755,943 cigars. The total number of factories of all kinds is 14,070, of which number 7147 are strictly union and 6923 are mixed and non-union. The union factories give employment to 12,278 union hand workmen and 15247 union mold workmen. The open shops employ 10,675 union and non-union persons.

M APPEAL O CATHOLIC CLERGY Tammany Gives Out What It Thinks Will Be a Boomerang,. AID IN THE CAMPAIGN Alleged to Be Asked by McKin- ley Managers of the Church Leaders. ANARCHY MUST NOT CONTROL. Archbishop Hughes’ Example in a Former Crisis of the Nation Is Alluded To. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 28.—The fol- lowing letter addressed to the Catholic clergy of the United States by, it is said, the McKinley and Hobart Business Men’s National Campaign Committee, was given out to-day at Tammany Hall: TENTH STREET, ABOVE CHESTNUT. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19, 1896. Reverend and Dear Sir: We are all aware that the dignity of your sacred office forbids the ex- ercise of your influence in any political mat- ter involving mere questions of executive or legislative policy. Nevertheless, we are fully persuaded that the questions before the country in the pend- ing Presidential campaign are of an especially serious character, because they involve funda- mental moral issues. A decision in the selec- tion of President that will commit the execu- tive to a policy that in its application will foreibly compromise private financial obliga- tions and wiil repudiate a portion of the National debts will be & violation of the basic Christian princivle that commands honesty between man and man. Such a decision, we believe, would be thoroughly immoral, and would precipitate an ethical and material calamity of incalculable magnitude. ‘We are aiso of the opinion that the attack now being made upen the regularly counsti- tuted legal authorities of the National Gov- ernment 1is pernicious and dangerous to an extreme degree, for it contains rebellion against those safeguards of law upon which society, the individ ual, the several States of the Nation must depend for security and pro- tection. If successful the vital principles of our Government wiil be undermined. Recalling with gratitude the patriotism and eminent public services of the late Most Reverend Archbishop Hughes and many others of the Roman Catholic clergy when the integrity of the Government was threatened on a former occasion, w8 take the liberty to suggest that the present is a period of equal danger. The Government is not threatened by physical force, but insidiousand false ideas that inspire incipient anarehy and contempt for proper authority are industriously propa- gated throughout our country. It is not our putpose to argue the foregoing suggestions, We merely desire to respectfully express the opinion that present political issues involve vital moral questions that pow- erfully appeal to the religious instructors ot the people. Our committee is not partisan. It includes neither office-holders nor offices seekers. We have no personal political inter- ests to serve, being private citizens associated tor patriotic purpgses. Very respectfully, $ ROBERT C. OGDEN, Chairman Republican Committee. The Tammany chieftains are very much incensed at this appeal to tbe Catholic clergy to support McKiniey and Hobart, which, they think, wiil prove a boom- erang. General Osborne, when shown a copy of the letter at Republican headquarters, said he knew nothing about it. Arthur Sewall, the Democrattc canai- date for Vice-President, arrived at the Fifth-avenue Hotel this afternoon. Mr. Sewall said Mr. Bryan ‘got a magnificent reception in Maine, and gave it as his belief that the candidate of the Demo- cratic party in that State would be im- proving every day up to the election time. The Vice-Presidential candidate expects to remain in this city untii Wednesday next. At the headquarters of the gold Demo- cratic party word was received from Chi- cago this morning that the farmers of the Northwest are becoming distrustful of the free-silver theories and requesting the im- mediate shipment of 25,000 copies of Sec- retary Carlisle’s speech. > PEISON REFORM WORK, Some Interesting Topics Before the Na- tional Conrention. MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 28.—The most important meeiing of the National Prisons convention took place here this morning, when that brgnch known as the Wardens' Association met to listen to papers and for mutual exchange of views.

This address contained a brief history of the association of wardens, which was formed ten yearsago,anda number of valuable suggestions, devoting considerable space to child labor.

He was followed by Warden J. W. French of the United States Penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., on “The Rel the Federal Pen: ary to the ious State Institutions.” This was followed by a general discussion on various subjects, the most interesting being whether pris- oners should be allowed to use tobacco. The affirmative side seemed to have the best of the argument. The afternoon session was devoted to the Chaplaius’ Association meeting. Rev. G. H. Hickok, chaplain of the Michigan State Prison, president of the association, read his annual report and was followed by Chaplain Thom of Huntsville, Tex., ‘who delivered an address on “The Spirit and Action of the Pri-on Chaplain.” g e Trinity’s Chimes Recorded.
