THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1896. LEGIONS JOURNEY ON TO CANTON' Thousands of Voters Cheer | at the Shrine of True Republicanism. From Kansas and Pennsylvania Come Those Who Battl= for Prosperity. | McKINLEY'S WISE WORDsS { Not a Scarcity of Money That ’.l‘rnn-| bles the Country, but a Lack of Empioyment. | CANTON, Omro, Oct. 23.—Damp, cool air and leaden skies greeted the pilgrims who came to Canton to-day, but neither | chill anutumn winds nor gray, threateningz clouds are pot-nt enough to check the flow of incoming delegations or repress when the delegation marched up to Major McKinley's with its band playing lively airs. The spokesman was Congressman H. D. Heiner. It was his opinion that Pennsylvania will rive a Republican plurality of nearly 400,000. Robert l\a.y— smith spoke for te plate-zlass workers in the delegation and presented Major Me- Kinley with a large mirror, made ata fac- tory in ¥ora City. i S LT EDITOR LLuYD'S VIEWS. Tells Why the Sober +oters Must Support MeKinley. CHICAGO, 11L., Oct. 25.—Thomas Lloyd, editor-in-chief of the London Statist, who is making a tour of the United States to study the political couditions, to-day cabled his paper as follows: “Several politicians from the South and West are now in Chicago, which at first Ktmzm rives the impression that {here is more difference of political opinion here than in New York, but in reality 1 find that the people of Chicago, at least all of them who have anything to lose, are sup- porters of McKinley. Mr. Hanna, who is the organizer of the Republican party, speaks very confidently. He says ne is certain of carrying Illinois, Micbigan and Indiana, and he has strong hopes of win- ping several Southern and Western States, “On the other hand, Mr. Bryan's com- mittee speaks equally confident. Itdoes rot expect as large a majority as Mr., Hanna says he is sure of, but 1t professes to be convinced that it will win. The main doubt of those who speak impar- tially is as to the farmers and the labor- ers. It is believed that the rise in whea and cotton, as well as the active cam- | paign that has been conducted for several months, have convinced a great number the ardor of Major McKinley’s visitors. The enthusiasm grows more intense as the day of election approaches, and the march to Canton will not ceass until November 8. Five delegations came to-day. The coming of a delegation of working railway men from Kansas was an event of | enough importance, even in a town so ac- | customed to the sight of delegations as Canton, to arouse deep interest and to | draw from the citizens warm expressions of appreciation, coupled with manife tions of cordial hospitality. The delega- | tions to-day were as versatile in character asever. Major McKinley was in excei- | lent spirits, and addressed his visitors with vigor and eloguence. Sixteen delegations are expected to- morrow and Major McKiniey will make not fewer than a dozen speeches. It was long after sunset last evening | when Major McKinley addressed a dele- gation of Indiana Republicans, They were the last callers of the day. Before | sunrise this morning there was another party of visitors from the Hoosier State who came to Canton to pay their respects | to the Republican candidate for President. | They were the first callers to-day. The delegation represented Logansport, New- Kokomo and Richmond. After | ast the party was escorted to Major McKinley’s residence by the Canton citi- zens’ committee. W. H. Eiliott of the Newcastle Courier acted as spokesman Meajor McKinley in responding spoke as follows: Nothing but a deep concern for the future of the country would have induced this body of my countrymen to travel all night that they | might bring assurances of support to the great | ublican cause this year, because they be- eved that enveloped in that cause arethe highest and best interests of our common country. I am glad to welcome you to my | home and am glad to have theassurance of | your spokesman that the fires of Republican- ism rre glowing so brighily in the State of Harrison, that splendid and patriotic states- man, and the home of that other great states- man and war Governor—Oiiver P. Morton. The cry is that we have not enough money. Now everybody knows that is not true. We never had such prosperous times as in 1892 and we have just as much money now as we d then. It isnotalack of money thatisat | ; 1t is the difficulty of putting men to and creating markets for our products. | | cast! You cannot make fifty-two cents a dollar and make & gold dollar wortn 100 cents circu- | late alongside of it. The gola dollar wiil go | outand every paper dollar based on gold will go out avd there will be less circulating me- dium, and instead ot the good money we have | now we shall have poor money. Can you tell me how the free coinage of silver is going 10 help business? It will not increase the de- mand for anything but silver. There will be | an increase in the production of silver, but | then down goes the price of silver, and then you will have to consuit your paper every | morning to see what silver is worth. [A | voice, “I have been in Mexico, snd know that | is 50.”] We do not want such money in the United Ststes. We want doilars worth 100 cents. ItIsthelostjob that is troubling us. It is not money, but the lost market that is troubling us. Major McKinley was greeted with a shout when he stepped out on his porch at noon to address 200 Santa Fe Railroad men from Emporia and Topeka, Kans. The delecation camee a thousand miles to | see Major McKinley, and the men had been on the cars for thirty-four hours, but their enthusiasm was unboundad. They cheered and shouted and applauded for several minutes. The committee with the delegation was W. H. Simpson, E. W. Cunningham and H. B. Morse, all of Emporia. Mr. Morse, who is president of the Railwaymen’s Sound- | money Club of Emporia, was se- i lected as spokesman, and A. M. Baird of | Topeka, & foreman in the raiiroad-shops, | introduced him. This delegation came a greater distance to visit McKinley than any of Lisother callers. Major McKinley said to the Kansas delegation: You have journeyed farther than any other delegation of the Unifed States that has honored me with & visit to my home, ana I sppreciate your visit more than I can find words to speak. It shows better than any words that could be uttered what is in your minds and hearts and what your purposes are in the election to be held on the 3d of Novem- ber. Youare interesied in the prosperity of your country. There was a time when some men were in the habit of saying it did not | make any difference 1o the railroad men of the country what kind of a financial policy we had or what kind of a tariff policy we pursued. 1 have hearc it & thousand times from the rostrum that while the tariff might nelp those engaged in the factories, it bad no influence upou the wages of the men who were engaged | upon the great transportation lines of the country. If any one of you believed. that statement four years ago you do not believe it now, because you know that upon the general prosperity of the country depeuds the prosperity of our great railroads and upon tneir prosperity depends your smployment and wages. You will have nothing to do if there s nothing to huul, and the more there is to haul the more and steadier empioyment you will have and the better wages you will get for your services and for your families. A delegation unique in character came next, It was composed of memuers of the State Association of Pennsylvania Direc- tors and Overseers of the Poor. The asso- ciation has been holding its annual ses- sion in Pittsburg and the membersdecided to call on Major McKiniey before depart- ing for their homes. J. D. Groff intro- duced the assembied directors ot the poor. The fourth delegation was a large one from several counties in Soutbwestern Obie. There were 1400 votess in tiie party. Frank M. Hoffman of Van Wert, Repub- lican candidate for member of the State Board of Public Works, was spokesman. The last delegation and the largest one of the day came from Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, There were 2500 in line | | Michigan by 50,000 plurality. of farmers; and great numbers of the working classes promise to vote for Mc- Kinley, but many with whom I have dis- cussed the subject fear that a large pro- portion of the workingmen promise their employers one thing and will vote quite differently when the day comes. +It is noteworthy that of all the news- papers published in Chicago only one supports Mr. Bryan, but I ought to add that a considerable number of individual | journalists with whom I have spoken are Lupporters of Mr: Bryan. It is very difi- | cult for a stranger to form a correct opin- ion in the clash of argument and asser- tion. but it seems certain that in Chicago, as in New York, those who have any:ihing to lose are for sound money, “Socralism, anarchy and the threat to peck the Supreme Court irightens the property class quite as much as free silver; but they are iwo-edged. They attracta large proportion of the laborers, while they unite capitalists. For instance, I hearof Southern planters whoshrink from supporting the Republicans, but wko will vote for Brran and jwho intend togivea holiday on election day to their colored voters so that they will vote for Mec- Kinley.” e IN THE REPUBLICAN COLUMN. Several Northern and Western States That Are Certain for McKinley. CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 23.—J. D. Elliott, chairman of the South Dakota Repablican committee, made Chief Hahn of the speakers’ bureau feel happy to-day by the receipt of a letter from him viving a re- sume of the work'done by the Republicans in that State, and summing up. the situa- tion thus: “I am absolutely confident we shall carry the State by at least 8000 majority, and we shail control at least ninety mem- bers out of che 126 in the Legislature. Not a man in-the State has a dollar to bet Bryan will carry South Dakots, and if there was one there would be 500 to take him ap. InMinnehaha County, the home of Senator Pettigrew, there are sixty speeches to be made this week and 120 assignments already for next week. I will bave a third poll of the State completed next Monday. Over 6500 Republican votes have been made in this State so far.” Commenting on the South Dakota sitn- ation Mr. Hahn said it was demonstrated that the Republicans of the State had de- cidea not to follow theleadership of Sena- tor Pettigrew. In July and August the Populist committee claimed the electorai vote of South Dakota sure for Bryan. Committeeman Payne recelved reports from the State executive committee of the Reputlican Leavue in California giving the McKiniey majority there at 15000; from Oregon, putting the Republican ma- jority at 2000 to 5000; and M:innesota say- ing the silver men had conceded that Clough, for Governor, wou!d not run more than 15,000 behind McKinley, while the Republicans claimed he would not be more than 10,000 votes in the rear. The National Committee now claims Epeakers from that State have come to headquar- ters within the last twenty-four hours and reported a radical change in sentiment on | the money question all over the State. H. G. McMilian, chairman of the lowa committee, came to beadquarters for more speakers and a conference with Mr. Hanna, accompanied by Senator Allison. Mr. McMillan reported every county in | the State had been polled anew and found to be satisfactory. CAMPAU TAKES IT BACK. Mark Hanna Promptly Brands the Democratic Leader as a Liar. CHICAGO, Irn., Oct. 23.—Chairman Hanna read at his desk in the Republican National headquarters thisafternoon what purported to be an interview with Cam- paign Chairman Campau, of the Demo- cratic National Committee, in which he makes the charge that Mr. Hanna had sent twenty men into Michigan to bribe voters to abstain from going to the polls; that Mr. Campu had the names of most of the agents who were under surveillance and that the man who sent them would be punished. Mr. Hanna rerlied: “My reply to thatis that Mr. Campan must produce the proof of the charge he makes against me or stand a self-convicted liir before the American people. Heis a liar if he said that.” Mr. Campau was interviewed ‘at Demo- cratic headquarters. He did not stand by the published interview in its specific parts, saying: *There are some cl: rical errors in that statement. What I want to say is that I have received reliable infor- mation that the Republicans have sent twenty-seven men into Michigan to do peculiar work. I have taken hold of the thing, and am following it up closety. We have notified our people in Michigan to do the same. The methods of that char- acter ‘are not confined to any particular State.” *‘Have you received definite information as to corrupt work in other States?" “No; but if they are doing it in Michi- gan they are very likely doing it in other places.” e McKinley Sure of Election. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23.—Hon, Loms D. Apsley, vice-chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, to- day gave out the following statement: *Ou October 7 I predicted that Major Mc- Kinley wouid have 302 electoral votes. After further careful study oi the canvass and irom intormation I now have, 1 feel confident that it will be increased to 325,” EX-SPEEKER CRISP PAST ALL PAIK Death of the Statesman After a Lingering Iliness. Paroxysms of the Heart Precede the Struggle Before Firal D.ssolution. GECRGIA WILLMOURN THE LOSS Distinguished Career of the S:uthern Leader as a Soldier, Jurist and Congressman. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 23.—Hon. Charles Frederick Crisp, Speaker of the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses, died at Holmes’ Sanitarium here at 1:45 o’clock this afternoon. A paroxysm of pain in the heart preceded death, the paroxysm probably resulting from a rupture of the heart as the result of fatty degeneration. Judge Crisp came to Atlanta six weeks ago for treatment. He was then suffering and Macon, Ga. When the war broke out he entered the Confederate army. He started in as a lieutenant in Company K, Tenth Virginia Infantry, and served with that regiment until May 12, 1864, whep he was captured and became a pris- oner of war. He was reléased from Fort Delaware in June, 1865. After the war he studied law in Ameri- cus, and after a few months of intense ap- plication he was admittea to the bar. In casting about for a place to practice law he settled in the little town of Ellaville, Ga. He soon tired of his limited country practice, however, and began to mix in politics, As the result of his efforts he managed to get the appointment of Solici- tor-General of the southwestern judicial circuit. This lasted for a year. In 1873 he was reappointed for four years. He then located in Americus, In June, 1877, he was ;appointed Judge of the Superior Court, and in 1878 he was elected by the General Assembiy to the same office, In 1880 he was nominated for Judge, and after a hot election was in- stalled in that office tor four years. In 1882 he resigned from the bench to accept the Democratic nomination for Congress. In April, 1883, he was made permanent president of the Democratic convention, which assembled in Atlanta. He was elected to theForty-eighth,Forty- ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first and Fifiy-second Congr-sses. He was Speaker of the House from 1893 to 1895. His present term would have finishea March 4, 1897, DENOUNCED 5¥ SEYMOUR. The Episcopal Bishop Has No Use for the Chicago Platform. CHICAGO, Ini., Oct. 23.—The Right Rev. George F. Seymour, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Spring- field, wrote an open letter as a citizen, such as Archbishop Ireland did, and the The Late CHARLES FREDERICK CRISP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives. from a case of malarial fever which had developed in his home at Americus. He spent June, July and a part of August in the mountains of North Carolina and Ten- nessee, His return to Middie Georgia during the very hottest period of the sum- mer developed the fever. After a week’s treatment by Doctors Holmes and Davis the fever disappeared and the Judgeim- proved slowly. Last week he was out driving several times and he was getting stronger, when Sunday night he was attacked with symp- toms of his old trouble, pneumonia. Dr. J. 8. Todd was called in, and on Tuesday congestion of the lungs disappeared, but the paticnt was so weak that Mrs. Crisp telegraphed for her children and ull came next day. % On Wednesday morning Judge Crisp’s condition 1mproved, but he received no callers. His family was hopeful until 10 o'clock’ last nieht, when he had a paroxysm of pain near the heart. At midnieht there was another paroxysm and they continued at intervals all through the night ana forenoon. He suffered intensely, but was conscious up to the very last. The last attack occurred at 1:40, Judge Crisp dying five minutes later surrounded by his family. Governor Atkinson was his last visitor, having called on Sunday, when he and the Judge chatted for an hour on current topics. Judge Crisp was keenly interested in politics to the very last. He opposed fusion with the Populists and charged Governor Atkinson to defeat it if possible | in Georzia. Judge Crisp was one of the leaders of the silver movement in Gecrgia, and on that issue the State overwhelmingly in- dorsed him for the Senate, to which he would have been elected by the Legisla- ture, which meets next Wednesday. There would have been practically no opvoosition to him for the Senate. - His death at this time complicates the situa- tion and will lead to a bitter fight for the senatorship. Perhaps other offices will be involved too. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but the body will lie in state at the Capitol to-morrow and addresses wili be delivered by Governor Atkinson and members of the Georgia Congressional delegation. Tne announcement of Judge Crisp’s death as telegrapied to BSpeaker Thomas B. Reed and to the sergeant-at- arms of the House this afternoon, it being customary to notify these officials of the death of any member of the House during recess in order that the proper Congressional escort may be appointed. Up to a late hour to-night no response had been received from either of these gentlemen. < Many telegrams of sympathy were re- ceived by Mrs. Crisp from prominent per- sons. Secretary Lamont was one of the first to send a message. At 10:30 o'clock to-morrow the Gov- ernor, city and county officers, members- elect of the General Assembly, members of the Atlanta bar and prominent eitizens and militia officers will escort the body from the sanitarium to the Capitol, in which the remains will be placed. Early Sunday morning the body with a large escort will leave for Americus, going by way of Macon. Upon arriving there the remains will be placed in the Metho- dist bhurch and lie in siate for two hours, when General Clement A, Evans will con- duct the last exercises. Charles ' Frederick Crisp of Americus, Ga., was born on the 29:h of January, 1845, in Suheffield, England, where his parents had gone on a visit. The child was brought to this country the year of his birta, Asa boy Crisp studied in Savannah | at 8 o'clock. National Democratic party’s committee made it public to-day. The Bishop de- nounces the free coinage of silver, declar- ing it “‘strikes at the National honor and our commercial integrity as a people and threatens with a prospect of serious injury and embarrassment all classes of the comn- maunity, involving the suffering poorana rich alike.” He denounces the Supreme Court plank of the Chicago platform as a “blow at the most precious creation of the constitu- tion,” adding: “This proposal is almost as bad as aiming a bullet at the flag of our country.” He also denounces the arraying of class against class and announces the same mo- tives, if conscience force him to vote, as moved him to vote during the Civil War. He has not voted since. Only Faulkner's Opinion. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23.—Chair- man Faulkner of the Democratic Congres- sional Committee to-day gave this as his positive opinion: *“William J. Bryan will be the next President of the United States, The information that has come to me dur- ing the last week shows that nothing can now stem the tide that has setin in his direction.” TURKLEY'S Mt W MINISTER. Presented to the President With Usual Formalities. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23.—Secre- tary Olney to-day presented to the Presi- dent Moustapha Tahsin Bey, the newly appointed Minister from ‘Turkey. The Minister’s speech on presentation con- tained only the customary good wishes from ‘‘his imperial Majesty, the Sultan, my august master,” whose ‘‘constant and ardent desire was for the maintenance and strengthening of the good relations of friendship so long established between the Governments.” To this end he asked the President’s co-operation. The Presi- dent replied: Mr. Minister: tinuance of the traditional friendship exist- ing between the Upited States and Turkey makes it yery agreeable to me to receive as the envoy extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- tiary of his imperial Maj-sty, the Sultan, one who by former residence in this country an association with our people for several yea: is so well qualified to estimate the sentiments of my countrymer and of their representative Government concerning all thai concerns their good relationship to the Ottoman empire and people.

THEN TOOK MONEY PACKAGES. Not a Passenger Molested and No Shots Fired During the Daring Robbery. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 23.—Chicago and Alion westbound train No. 48 due here at 6:50 P. M. was held up two miles east of Independence just before dark to-night by four masked men. They cut the engine loose, compelled the ex- press messenger to open the express car and secured three packages of jewelry and about $300. Tne rough safe was not opened. None of the passengers were mo- lested. The bandits drove the engine two miles and took to the wopds just before reaching Independence. The holdup occurred in Blue Cut, which has been the scene of two previous robberies by the James boys. The train was brought into Kansas City at 8:45». M. Not a shot was fired and no one was hurt. The train was in charge of Conductor A. J. Fell and Engineer James Welton. At the entrance to Blue Cut it was flagged. Welton reversed his engme and brought the train to a standstill in the middle of the cut, "1t was pich dark. He looked out from his cob to ascertain the trouble when a gruff yoice commanded him to get out of the cab and be quick about it. Welton looked into the muzzle of a shot- gun and obeyed. Fireman Post did like- wise. Two more men emerged from the darkness and mounted the engine. One of them picked up tue fireman’s coal pick. Engineer and fireman were marched to the express car. Messenger Andy Shields was commanded to open. He at first refused, but finally complied when con- vinced that Post’s life was in danger. The bandits entered the car, rifled the money packages and secured $300 and a quantity of jewelry. The holdup occupied altogether about five minutes. The passengers knew noth- ing of it until long after the engine had disappeared. Conductor Fell describes the men being shortaad heavy, witu dark hair. Their faces were masked. ‘They carried shotguns and revolvers. Inspector Flahive and eight picked men left Kansas City on a special train im- mediately after the report of the rocboery reached here. The robbers are supposed to be railroad men from the fact that they Enew how to handle the engine. WRECK OF THE MO0SS BROW. Six of the Crew Saved, but the Captain and Fourteen Others Are Yet Missing. HELSINGFORS, FiNLaND, Oct. 23.—The steamer that was wrecked off Kallbadan, mention of which was made in these dis- patches yesterday, was the Moss Brow.

Lot Jeie COOLIE RIO1S IN GUIANA. They Are of Greater Significance Than Genernily Supposed. KINGSTON, Jamarca, Oct. 15.—[Cor- spondence of the United Associated Presses.] —The news of ccolie riots 1n De- merara (British Guiana) is of far greater significance than appears on the face of it. Long ago the nativé or negro population became so reduced in numbers that to save the sugar industry from collapse a treaty was entered into with the [ndian Government for the immigration of coolie laborers from that distant but sister de- pendency of the British crown. The sys- tem worked so well that its peasantry is now almost wholly composed of East In- dians. ~ Only a year or two ago the military gar- rison was removed from Guiana, and the lice, 500 sirong, were armed and drilled. When the troops were withdrawn some of the local papers expressed the fear that it was an unwise move owing to the enor- mous 1nni|§0gopulnion-—nnwnd of from 80,000 to 90, When the sugar crisis came the Deme- rara pianters decided to reduce the labor- ers’ wages throughout the sugar belt, and a general strike was the immediate result. Rioting ensued all along the line of the plantations, and day before yesterday it culminated in an armed demonstration on the Nonpareil estate near Georgetown. — Irory Again .irraigned.

EMPORIA, Kaxns,, Oct. 23.—A masked man before daylight this morning held up the agent and robbed the Santa Fe depot at Saffordville, twelve miles west of here.. He suddenly appeared at the ticket window, shoved a revolver into the face of the ticket agent and ordered him to throw up his hands. He secured a small amount of money. He then ordered the agent to open the Wells Fargo express safe. This the agent convinced him could not be done, as neither key nor combina- tion was in his possession. The robber then disappeared and there is no clew. —_———— Lives Lost jn a Fire.
