FOR PKES]DEN'T—_ WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Oblo FOR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey Election November 3, 1896. Get into line for victory. There is & Republican wrangle. no longer The way to find harmony is to keep step with the party music. The appeal has been taken to the State Committee and settled. Has Buckley become a Populist, or have the Populists done the other thing? e e The only way to defeat both Buckley and Rainey is to elect Colonel Taylor. Which would you rather do, wrangle like Democrats or unite like loyal Republicans? San Francisco must be carried for Me- Kinley and Hobart, and no Republican shoulda forget it. Mr. Phelan—Dear Sir: Will you please explain yourassociation with Boss Rainey, and give details? All true Republicans will bow to the authority of the Btate Committee and support it loyally e Taylor ticket has won the first bat- tle, and with a united Republicanism it will win in November. There should pe no appeal to the courts in Republican disputes. 1t is a poor party that is not capable of self-govern- ment. All Republicans in the Fourth District will support Spear and O’Brien, and ail Republicans in the whole City should sup- vort Colonel Mr. Phelan may be satisfied with the lzyout Rainey gave him, but he will be far from satisfied with the way the people will lay him out on election day. Anyone who wishes to continue dis- sensions in the Republican party can count on the support of Buckley, Rainey and Willie Hearst. Germany has produced in one year over 1,213,000 tons of sugar, while the United States has produced only 22,000. Is it not worth while for us to develop that in- dustry ? In this campaign the bosses, for once, are divided, and now good citizens have only to unite on Colonel Taylor to make a clean sweep and establish a clean City government. What are we to think of a man who ap- veals his quarrel with the party organiza- tion to the State Central Committee, and then refuses to be bound by the decision of the committee? Nothing can be gsined for the party by attacking the Republican State Central Committee. On the other hand, every such attack weakens party loyalty and tends to demoralization. General Horace Porter describes the Chicago conventicn as “‘a great gathering of lost opportunities and eplendid impos- sibilines,” and very justly adds, “instead of erecting a platform it put up a scaffold.” The Eraminer cartoonist figures it out that the shadow of Rainey is on" the Dem- ocratic ticket, but to the observant citizen itis clearly evident that the whole body of the Boss is sitting on it and hatching it out. The proposal to have the Non-Partisan Convention nominate candidates for the Legislature is curious. If the election of a legislator who is to vote for a United States Senator is not a partisan question, what is it? FL A Republicans who are tempted to find fault with the decision of the State Central Committee should ask themselves what they would have done under the circum- stances. Would you have supported the party organization and harmony, or party bolters and discord ? The prospects of the municipal cam- paign are most excellent. With a united Republican party headed by such a man as Colonel Taylor and opposed by the divided factions of Buckley and Rainey there is sure to be a vote that will give not only a victory for the local ticket, but such a Republican majority as will assure California to McKinley and Hobart. The men who have been supporting the Republican committee of which Mr. Manwaring is chairman frankly con- sented to the withdrawal of their candi- dates for Elector and Congressman in the Fourth District, and are now cordially supporting Mr. Spear for Elector and Mr. O'Brien for Congress. The friends of these men can surely be counted on to re- spond to this action by giving a loyaisap- port to the ticket which has been declared regular by the State Committee. UNITY AND VICTORY. ‘The decision of the State Central Com- mittee will be accepted by all loyal Re- publicans as a final settlement of the dis- sensions in the ranks of the party in this City. These dissensions were unfortunate and should never have arisen. There has been at no time any good reason why the Republicans of San Francisco should not have been steadfast in support of the party organization here as the Republi- cans of other parts ¢f the State bave been of the orgunization in their localities. It is useless, however, to go back and dis- cuss these differences now. Tney existed, they have been appealed to the highest authority of the party in the State and they have been settied. The rest is clear. All Republicans must bow to that deci- sion. Those who differed before must unite now and move forward in the work of carrying San Francisco for Colonel Taylor and for McKinley and Hobart. The outlook for a united Republicanism in San Francisco is certainly cheering enough torouse the spirit of even the least sanguine. With the Democratic bosses and their “push” and “‘pull’” divided and wrangling among themselves, if the Republicans of the City unite in support of Colonel Taylor it will be possible to achieve the best vic- tory for good government known to our records for many a year. We may be able to establizh a complete Republican admin- istration in all deparuments of the City, elect legislators who will carry out Repub- lican measures for the State and send a stanch Republican to the United States Senate; and moreover, roll up such a Re- publican majority in 8an Francisco as will make the State sure for the Republican National ticket, protection and prosperity. Wiy shouid men permit petty differ- ences of opinion on small matters to pre- vent them from uniting for the accom- plishment of great results? Why should any Renublican carry these differences of opinion beyond the limits of the party and seek some tribunal 1o overthrow the high- set party authority? How long will the Republican party be a seif-governing body if the decisions of the State Committee are to have no weight and authority with the rank and file? Surely it is time to siop fighting. Elec- tion day draws near and work must be done against the common foe. If this City is not to be ruled by Boss Buckley or Boss Rainey the people must elect Charles L. Taylor to the office of Mayor. That is the issue before the Republicans of San Francisco. All Republicans in the Fourth District are loyally supporting Mr. Spear and Mr. O’Brien. Why should not the Republicans of the whole City follow the decision of the State Central Committee and give a loyal support to Colonel Taylor and the whole municipal and legis- | lative ticket? Who in this whole land would appeal to | Congress, after once ezercising the power to fiz weights and measures, to cut.down the length of a yardstick or the cubic contenls of a bushel and make that reduction apply to all existing contracts? Is there any man, how- ever filled with enthusiasm; is there any Chicago crusader who would ask that the cubic conten!s of a bushel should be reduced and that every contract existing for the pur- chase of grain should be fu!filled by delivering at the smaller standard?—Benjamin Har- rison. THE SENATORSHIP, The duty of electing a United States Senator will devolve upon the next Legis- lature, and it is of vital importance that he be a true and tried Republican. Economic questions of great consequence to the whole country will come before the Fifty- sixth Congress, and it will be greatly to the interests of Caifornia, as well as to the interests of the whoie country, to have a safe-working majority of Republicans in both houses. It will notavail the in- dustries and the commerce of the country very much if Major McKinley, when he 1s inaugurated, finds himself confronted by a hostile Congress, and this fact should stimulate the party evervwhere to see to it that the next Congress is in sympathy with the policy of the administration. 1t is admitted on all sides that proper tariff legislation isneeded. The industries of the country are in a crippled condition, and workingmen are idie. Better condi- tions for both are demanded, and they look to the Republican party to see that justice is done them. Itis true that the Republican silver Senators have opposed tariff legislation of late because they be- lieved that the money question should be settled first, but now Senator Teller says that if Major McKinley is elected he shall take it as meaning that the people demand the settlement of the tariff question first, and that he will offer no objection to Con- gress taking such a course. It is safe to say,-in view of Benator Teller's position, that all the silver Senators will agree to susyend silver legislation unmiil the mills and factories are again in full operation. The Democracy everywhere is willing to trade Bryan for Congressmen and Sen- ators. The plan appears to be to control one if mot both branches of Congress, so as to prevent the repeal of the Wilson- Gorman act. What Democrats want is still further reductions in tariff duties, and they know very well that if a thoroughly protective tariff law is enacted the ad- vantages accruing from it would so strengthen the Republican party that the people would not for many years make a change in the administration, It is of the utmost importance, therefore, that the Congressional and legislative tickets be looked after. The party cannot afford to bave a Republican.President’s hands tied by a Democratic Congress. Their convention was an exiibition of polit- ioal hysteria and parliamentary delirium tre- mens. They didn't construct a platform; they ran up a scaffold. Josh Billings once said that the thing that did the most harm in the world was ‘‘not ignorance, but knowing so much that ain't so.” For a dollar they want usto take 4121-2 grains of silver, the rest in grains of allowance. They want the Govern~ ment to stamp 50 cents as a dollar and then not charge for the lie.—General Horace Porter. THE STATE OOMMITTEE. ‘We regret to note that yesteraay some Republicans permitted their disappoint- ment over the decision of the party con- troversy in this City to lead them into hasty and ill-advised criticisms of the State Central Committee. Such criticisms were uncalled for and unjust. The com- mittee did no more than a due regard for the facts and the law of Republican regu- larity required it to do. A calmer con- sideration of the subject will, we believe, lead all Republicans to give a cordial ap- proval to the committee’s decision. The State Committee is made up of im- partial men chosen from all parts of the State. It includes such well-known and honored Republicans as A. B. Lemmon of Santa Rosa, 8. N. Androus of Los Angeles, F. L. Coombs of Napa and L B. Dudley of Ban Diego. The reputation of these men and of their colleagues for honesty and party loyalty is beyond question. Why should any Republican assert the con- trary ? 1t must be borne in mind that the mem- bers of the State Committee dia not seek THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER -2, 1896. the office, nor did they of their own mo- tion interfere to arbitrate the dissensions of the party in S8an Francisco. They were cnosen for the ofiice by the authorized representatives of the party and were called to dectde the San Francisco con- troversy by members of all elements of the local party, and especially by the fac- tion of the men who are.now finding fault with their decision. It is under the management and leader- ship of the State Committee that the Republicans of California are to make the fight for McKinley and protection. All who desire the success of the National ticket and the triumph of Republican vrinciples at the polls must give an active, earnest and sincere support to the State Committee. Disloyalty to party leaders at this juncture is disloyalty to the party itself. We must have unity of action if we expect to have victory. There can be no question that a great majority of the Republicans of this City will cordially acquiesce in the decision of the committee. Certainly no fair man will countenance attacks made upon men who, to say the least of it, acted according to their judgment for the right and the best interest of the party. Criticism fails to be effective when it assails men of such standing on such flimsy grounds and from motives which are so elearly the result of personal disappointment. The committee may rest assured that the great majority of Republicans not of San Francisco only but of the whole State will commend their action and cordially support them in that and in all else they do to promote har- mony, unite the party and make Califor- nia a Republican State. Uphold the Committee; recognize its authority; acquiesce in its decision, and under one flag go forward to victory. Who is there in this land that would ask Congress to cut the yardstick and declare that the new yard should apply to all existing con- tracts? Is there even a Chicago crusader who will demand that the bushel measure be decreased? Yet this is not a whit different Jrom their principle when they propose to coin a dollar from silver at a ratio one-half as great as when the contract involving the doi- lar was made. I belicve that personal and National honor makes that thing absolutely impossible.— Ex-President Harrison. AN " INDEPENDENT" ABSURDITY The proposition to nominate an inde- pendent legislative ticket is what might be called the u'timate of absurdity. Itis within the scope of non-partisan action to place an independent ticket in the field for purely local offices where there is not much patronage, but even then the ticket would necessarily have to be made up of men who entertain pronounced political views, for a man who was milk'and water enough to have no well-fixed political opinions would be too weak to fill any oflice with safety to the public. A legislator has to be a partisan, es- pecially when there is a United States Senntor to be elected. For whom would en independent member vote? The fact is he could not vote atall. Candidates for the United States Senate are party lead- ers. They have to e leaders. Who ever heard of a non-partisan leader of a politi- cal party? If the so-called independent member bappened to have been & Repub- lican or a Democrat before he became an “independent” he would vote exactly as though he were elected as a partisan. The office of United States Senator is a politi- cal one. [t is a Senator’s business to help put the principles of his party into practical operation. He is a partisan and must work for the good of his party. How then could be be elected by a non-partisan vote? A non-partisan legislator would be in a worse fix than tbe dove of Noah that found ne place for the sole of-its foot. But this project to run “independents’ for the Legislature is a Democratic trick to get control of the Legislature and send a Democrat to the United Biates Senate, and there are those so blind that they do not see what it all means. It is an old Democratic trick, too, and has been played with success at times. Whenever that party wes not quite sure of victory under its own flag it dresses up a few stalwarts as “independents,”’ or it takes those of some other faith who can be “convinced” at the proper time so as to vote for a Democrat. Let no Republican permit this Democratic trick to be played upon him. The Republican party has legisla- tive timber plenty and to spare. Let the legislative ticket be composed of men who have convictions and are willing to ex- hibit them whenever occasion requires. THE YEAR 1873. The Bryanites are crying for the “condi- tions of 1873” before the bill suspending the coinage of silver dollars was passed. Either they do not know what they are talking about or they are trying to mis- lead the people. In 1873 our circulating money medium consisted of $25,000,000 in coin and nearly $750,000,000 in paper money, which was less than $19 per capita, the population then being less than 42,000,000. To-day we have $1,226- 000,000 in coin and over $1,120,000,000 in various kinds of paper money, making the per capita over $34, with a population of nearly if not quite 72,500,000, The industries and the farm interests of the country have grown more in impor- tance and in wealth since 1873 than in the preceding half century. The percentage of working people who have acquired homes since 1873 has been greater thau in all the preceding years. Since 1873 more “wild” land has been converted into farms' than in the forty years ended in 1873, The percentage of increass in sav- ings bank deposits has been greater since 1873 than from the Declaration of Inde- pendence down to that period. Not until after 1873 did the United States begin to take high rank as an exporting and im- porting nation. Not until after 1873 did the silver-mining industry become a great business enterprise. Not until after 1873 were capital combinations formed to con- struct great systems of railways. In short, it was not until 1873 that the United States assumed the position of a nation spelled with a big “N.” The material and nu- merical strength of the United States has widened and deepened as was never be- fore seen in any. nation since the world began., America turned a new leaf in 1873, and the Republican party caused it to be turned. THE BEET-SUGAR INDUSTRY. The most notable industrial growth of the iast decade in California has been that of the beet-sugar industry. Beginning with an experimental output of capital in the production of sugar-beets and the erection of a small factory for the ex- traction of sugar, it has grown to propor- tions which even few of our own people realize and become one of the greatest in- dustries in the State. 5 The honor and credit of having devel- oped this great industry belong by com- mon consent to Claus Spreckels, It was his faith in the responsive qualities of California’s soil and climate, which first called the beet-sugar industry int> being. It was his liberality in aiding and encour- aging the farmers of the Pajaro and Sa- linas valleys which has made beets the |- most extensive and valuable product of their fertile fields. it was his carefnl and intelligent selection of the best machinery and methods for the extraction of sugar which has caused the Watsonville factory . to grow to its present ‘proportions and achieve its present success. Itis to-day the splendid faith and liberal aid which Claus Spreckels devotes to the sugar in- dustry that gives it reasonable assurance of becoming the largest enterprise for pro- duction and profit the Pacific Coast will possess, The people of California are not blind to the greatness of this industry nor un- mindful of the men who hzve made it successful, nor regardless of their own in- terest in its further growth. In various portions of the State the owners of lands and the promoters of industry are plan- ning and preparing to engnge in the rais- ing. of beets and the extraction of their sugar. The Watsonville plant is certain soon to become the nucleus of other factories for the utilization of thous sands of acres newly devoted to beet cul- ture. When it is remembered that last year the total output of American sugar was only adequate to supply 10 per cent of the demand of the United States and that more than $125,000,000 went away to Germany, Cuba, Hawaii and other foreign lands for sugar alone, it will readily be seen how mighty are the possibidties of this great industry and how important it is to Californians that it should be pro- tected and encouraged. The Republican party is expressly pled_ged to the ample and adequate pro- tection of the beet-sugar industry. Every Catifornian, therefore, who believes in the upbuilding of such enterprises in his own State, and even in his own neighborhood, should see to it that his vote in the com- ing election shall be cast for the Republi- can party, which guarantees protection to the California beet-sugar industry.

Some time ago the Bryanites reported that “‘Colonel Cody, sn old-time Republican, will take the stump for Bryan and free silver.” Now comes s different version from a Western r: “Colonel W. F.

All the same he feels it is his duty to vote for McKinley and honest money, and he ;‘Vp, as a result of his wide observation in the West, that his fellow- Nebraskau is going (o get whipped.™ - THE SILVER ~ TRUST Most Rapacious Com- bination of Wealth in This Country. Why Mr. Hearst and His Multi-Millionaire Associates Are Such Earnest Sup- porters of Bryan. The political combination of the silver- mine owners forms the richest, the most powerful and the most rapacious trust in the United States, says the New York ‘World. Other combines are content to control the market and fix their own prices. The silver trust demands that Congress and the President shall by law raise and main- tain the price of their product. The yield of their mines 1s about 60,000,- 000 ounces per year. It can easily be in- creased. The present price is 66 cents an ounce. The Ontario mine in Utah has vaid over $13,000,000 in dividends. the Horn Silver $5,030,000, the Daly $2,887,500, the Bullion Beck $2,105,000 and the Cen- tennial-Eureka $1,800,000. These are small compared with the Comstock and other of the great mines in Colorado and Montana. The Government of the United States— meaning its taxpayers—sapplied a forced market for the entire product of all these mines not needed for export or for the arts, from 1878 to 1893 — fifteen years. Under the Bland act they bought and coined 291,272,918 ounces, at a cost of $308,- 279,260, un average of $1 05 per ounce. Under the Sherman act they bought and stored 168,674,682 ounces at a cost of $155,- 931,000, an average of 92 cents. It the Government were obliged to sell thia sil- ver at current prices' instead of coining it and holding up its money value by a gold reserve, it would lose $115,000,000 on the first transaction and $44,000,000 on the ouvher. Not content with what the Government has already done for them, the members of the silver trust now ask that they be permitted to take 66 cents’ worth of their bullion direct to the mint and have it stamped free of expense as §1, on their individual account. This would make 1t possible for the trust to control the money sufply as no gold syndicate has ever been ble to control it, and, if they succeeded in sustaining the price, to make a profit of nearly 100 per cent on their prodact. In furtherance of this conspiracy they have secured control of the Senate, they have nominated a candidate for President by three parties, they have subsidized or bought newspapers, and are making false, misleading and demagogic appeals to the voters. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribuune in a dispatch to his paper August 6 gave a list of the names of over a score of leading silver mine-owners in the West, together with their total wealth, who either in person or through their agents bhave been active in shaping the 16 to 1 plank in the Democratic, Populist and silver conventions held in St. Louis and Chicago.

State, county and National nominations have now been made, and to the intelligent voter is presented the obportunity to decide for whom he will cast his ballot at the elec- tion this fall. The list of county nominees on both tickets 1s, we believe, made up of good, couscien tious, God-fearing men.

Hobart. AUDITORIUM TICKET REG- ULAR. San Francisco Post. The Republican State Central Committee, having had under consideration the question s to which of the two alleged regular Repub- lican organizations of this City was genuine, has-decided in favor of the Auditorium con- vention, popularly known as the “Spreckels convention.”” It hasdeclared that the Audi- torium conyention represents the county or- ganizaton of the Republican party forthe City and County of San Francisco. The ticket headed by C. L. Taylor for Mayor becomes, therefore, the regular Reputlican ticket of this City, and the central committee formed ortobe formed by the Auditorium conven- tion will be the legally authorized executive body of the Republican party of the City and County of San Francisco. Individual voters may do as they please, but Republicans should act with the party and are bound by the decisions of the supreme bead, just as citizens are bound by the de- cisions of the Supreme Court. There is, there- fore, the same party reason for supporting the tickeét headed by Colonel Taylor that there is for supporting the electoral ticket, which will cast the electoral vote of the State of Califor- nia for McKinley. From a party standpoint these things have the same siatus. McKinley is the regular nominee of the Republican party for President and Taylor is the regular nominee of the Republican party for Mayor. Opposition to the ticket on the partoi any oue will be treason to the party. The politi- cians who have engineered the ticket headed by Mr. Sonntag mey declare that the Taylor ticket is a boss ticket; but the same was irue of the Sonntag ticket. The defeated party may declare that they will not submit to the de- cision of ihe State Central Committee. There isnothing obliging them to do so. As indi- viduals they are au liberty to vote for whom they please and to control their own action in their own way; that is one of the privileges guaranteed by the constitution and is the essence of a republican form of government. But they cannot do so and_at the same time claim to be Republicans and represent Repub- licanism or the Republican organization, Na- tional, State or County. They may, however, do so as dissenters, protestants, boiters or in any other guise they may choose. They may remain Repubticans in faith, but they will not be Republican partisans in any sense. As already siated, from a purely partisan standpoint, therefore, the Auditorium ticket headed by C. L. Taylor for Mayor is the regular Republican ticket of the City and County of San Francisco. That question being settled, dissensions concerning the matter should at once cease. In.a Presidential campaign the leading ques- tion is the election of the Repablican candi- date for President. Next and equally impor- tant is the election of Republican members of Congress; and of approximately equal impor- tance is the election of a Legislature which will make choice of & United States Senator. From the standpoint of independent eciti- zenship, each member of the party, however, may vote as he pleases upon municipal questions. Let him exercise this right. t any Republican who is dissatisfied with what it is known as the Spreckels ticket betake himself to any local camp he may see fit, but in doing so he will have no right to claim that he is a Repubiican, or that he re resents any Republican organization. This is the sum of the whole matter. Unless dissen- sions cease the decision of the committee will possess no partisan value. Every true parti- san will abide by and enforce by his voice, his influence and his vote the decision of the State Central Committee. HIS IDEA OF IT.

[Editor Call—DEAR Sir: Will you please pub- 1lish in the columns of your valuable patriotic American journal the following from the pen of an American laborer, which I earnestly hope shall receive the attention of all those who have been for the past four years strug- gling for existence under the banner of free trade and oppression. The day is not far distant when the Ameri- can people will be called upon to seiect, by the aid of the bollot-box, a President who shall be none other than a true friend of the American people. In making this selection great care should be taken by all those who are dependent npon labor for the support of themselves and tneir families. They should recall to their memory the causes which have been 8o disastrous to our American industries and which have been the means of bringing poverty and ruin to the homes of our working people throughout the length and breadth of this gloricus land of freedom and liberty. Y During the past four years under & Demo- cratic free-trade form of dgovcrnmuull nhave witnessed more poverty and des:itution in the homes of the mechanic and laborer than was ever known to exist in any of the downtrod- den countries of Europe. Homes have bee broken up, and people wbo were once comfor able and nappy under & republican form o iovernmunt are to-day scattered, God only nows where,perhaps never again 10 be united. Hundreds oi horny-handed sons of labor can every day be seen traveling along the county roads with blankets on their backs, going they know not where in search of employment, which they fina almost impossible to procure, for the reason that the pauper labor of Europe, which is supported by a free-trade Govern- ment of alled Americans, is more prefer- able to all those who are to-day endeavoring 10 the best of their ability to create, if possible, such an ill feeling between eapital and labor that will eventually be the means of causing apanic and revolution such as has never be- fore been seen by the American peopie. This is how the Democratic party, under their banner of free trade and free coinage, intend to repay the laboring people should they be so foolish as to be guided by the faise doctrine of free coinage which the Hon. Mr. Bryan and the many soreneads and office- seekers are endeavoring to misguide the work- ing people into believing. I most respectiully call the attention of Mr. Bryan to the follow- ing words spoken by Daniel Webster, ‘‘He who tampers with the currency robs labor of its bread.” But American people must not forget that four years ago next November they allowed themselves to be led by the eer into the Demo- cratic free-trade trap, through the promise of an abundance of labor aud prosperity which the Democratic mouth- Organs guAran- teed would surely follow the election ot Grover Cleveland and his all- Eng- lish party, but who have /since their election 10 office as representatives of the American people done all in their power to promote the welfare of England and the downfall of our American manuiacturing iu- dustries and the many other avenues of labor, which, under a republican form of govern- ment, gave employment to the thousand who are to-day making appeals for bread, whiie the pauper laborers oi Europe sre permitied to steal millions annuaily from the treasury of our Government in payment for foreign meanufactured articles, which, under & protec- tive \ariff, wouid be in circulation among the Americaus to whom it justly belongs. The Hon.Willlam McKinley, who is recog- nized by the working. people of the country us the father of protection and the true Ameri- can friend of labor, very truthfully remarked before thousands oi workingmen who traveled hundreds of mliles to his home in Canton, Ohio, for the purpose of showing their loyaity to a true American statesman : “You ecanuot Create confidence among the people if you have no confidence in the public treasury. Our dollars now are all full and sound, and all we want is an opportunity to earn them.” How can this.be secured ? It can only be so through the election of the Hon. William McKinley, the standara-bearer of the Republi- can party, whose every action has and always will be for the advancement of the American people. Should_the American people permit them- selves to be caught once more in the same old trap simply because it is baited with & little free silver, they will be held responsible befora God and man for the terrible results which are sure to follow the election of Mr. Bryan, whom I term a stumbling - block in the way of ‘American prosperity and an oppressor of the ‘American working people who are depending upon the welfare and prosperity of American capital invested in the different enterprises of labor throughout the United States for their daily bread. » J. B. HAGGERTY. BRYAN’S CEASELESS FLOW. Nebraska State Journal The newspaper correspondents who accom- ‘panied Mr, Bryan do not want to hurt the young man’s feelings, so they have kept back a number of stories that would make mighty interesting reading. They are all aware of Bryan’s fondness for speechmaking, and have had several good things to laugh over quietly among themselves since they left Chicago. One of them was telling last night about the number of speeches made during the day. “Isn’t it axhluuinfi ‘work for him to speak at every station ?” asked a listener. “Not for Mr. Bryan,” was the answer. “I tell you he isdead stuck on the game. He is always willing to talk. You know we have been traveling on _siow trains that stop at every cross-roads. He never failed to be ready for a talk. One day when the train was ambling along through the countiry, one of the boys dropped his hat out of the car win- dow. A boy picked it up and began chasing the train 10 restore it to its owner. It wasn’ 5o absurd a thing to do considering the speed of the train. A dozen of us began velling to encourage him. I suppose we made & tremen- dous racket, for in a minute Mr. Bryan came rushing into the car. ‘Where are they? he asked, eagerly. He was ready 10 make & speeeh.” TOWNSEND'S famous broken candy, 21bs 23c.* — e e——— Waiter—Soup, sir ? Thespian—No; confound your impudence!
