There were many bursts of enthusiasm | during the meeting, as when Cole Stoze | announced that from his advices he be-\ lieved 100,000 strangers would bein town | on Saturoay. It was determined that the finance com- mittee meet at room 7, second floor of the Mills building, this morning at 9 o’clock, to further arrange for money for the | parade.

The grand marshal last night 1ssued the following for the better understanding of the people: “The grand marshal would like a divis- jon of unemployed men in the line of the parade, and wil sign them a marshal, aide and a des e place in the line. If any such would like to parade with us, they are requested to call at headquarters, 24 Fourth street, and register their names, and in due time notice will be given through the daily press of their position in line and where the division will form. Our telephone is Main 1126, “‘The grand marshal suggests that all rades or industries that have not sent in names of members who are to constitute the sab-committee representing their busi- ness do so at once.” 8ix hundred commercial travelers will be in line.

Delegations From Surrounding Tcwns Are Coming. VALLEJO, CaL., Oct. 26 —Leading Re- publicans have postponed speakingAh_ere for Saturday night to enable all desiring to attend the parade and hear the Hon. Thomas B. Reed speak. Judge Carpenter, who was to speak, will address the voters of Vallejo on Monday night next at the last grand Republican rally of the campaign. NAPA, CAL., Oct. 26—A large Napa delegation will go to San Francisco Satur- day morning to witness and take partin the Republican parade to be held in San g 0 on that date.

CHICAGO, TrL., Oct. 26, —The final week of the Presidential campaign was entered upon by the campa staff at Republican National Headquarters with expressed confidence in an overwhelming victory for Major McKinley. Mr. Hanna counted thirty-three of the forty-five States for the Republicans. The chief will make a final and complete statement as to the probable result of the election Saturday night, just prior to his departure for his home. A report received by Colonel Hahn from Chairman Coe of the Wisconsin State Committee states there is rapid im- provement in the rural districts of that State since the middle of the month and the same was true of Milwaukee. Mr. Coe adds: ‘I estimate that Wisconsin is safely Re- publican by 60,000 to 80,000 plurality. Both branches of the Legislature will be strongly Republican, and all the ten Con- gressional districts will elect Republican members to Congress.” Dr. Edward Bedloe, ex-Consul to Amoy, China, who has been campaigning among the gold Democrats, was at headquarters. He showed a letter which le had received from Admiral Belknap, U. 8. N., partly as follows: “Iam combating the heresies of free- silver coinage and the abominations of the Chicago platform. I shall vote the Republican ticket this year for the first time in my life, A friend remonstrated with me the other day because I am golng to vote for McKinley.” Arrangements have been made with the five trunk lines which run west from St. Louis through Missouri to send a special | train on each of the roads Wednesday morning for a tour of the State, under the management o} the commercial travelers’ clubs of Bt. Louis, in the interest of M- Kinley. There will be twenty men and five sheakers on each train. Chairman Hanna directed the following telegram sent 1o chairmen of the Repub- lican State Central Committees through- out the country: *You will please direct county chair- men in your State to make a special effort for Flag day, Saturday, October 31, by calling on ail Republicans to assemble in the cities, villages and bamlets nearest | their homes and show their patriotism, devotion to country and the flag and their | intention to support the party which stands for protection, sound money and good government by having patriotic speeches and such exercises as will be ap- propriate for the occasion and tend to make the day a general holiday as far as possible. Itis to be hoped that Republi- cans everywhere will unite to dedicate this day to this patriotic service,” Mr. Hanna says he has received good reports to-day from California, Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan, all denoting a return movement of silver Republicans. —h DEGEADING TO THE COUNTIEYX. That Is BMr. Hobart’s Opinion of the Free Silver Fallacy. CAMDEN, N. J., Oct. 26.—Hon. Garret A. Hobart, the Republican Vice-Presi- dential candidate, made his first formal address of the campaign here to-night. He was enthusiastically received. Mr. Hobart and party, including Gov- ernor John W. Griggs, State Committee- man William Pettle and Hobart Tuttle, secretary to the Governor, arrived in Phila- delphia from Jersey City shortly after 2 o’clock this afternoon, and were driven to the Hotel Bellevue in that city, where luncheon was served. They were then escorted to this city and taken to the headquarters of the Camden Republican Club, where an informal re- ception was held by Mr. Hobart and thke Governor. The reception lasted from 4 o'ciock to 6 o’clock, and during this time a constant stresm of persons were greeted | by the distinguished guests. The party was then entertained at dinner by United States Senator Sewell at hisresidence, and at 8 o’clock they proceeded to the Temple Theater, where Mr. Hobart and Governor Grigzs made addresses. The city was gayly decorated in honor of the occasion, the displays of flags and bunting being elaborate. After opposing the Wilson bill the speaker turned his at- tention to the financial question and dis- sected the money plank of the Chicago platform, which convention he declareul was not a Democratic gathering. He made a lengthy explanation of 16 to 1, argued upon the fallacy of the movement and classed it as degrading to the country, Mr. Hobart declared that the only per- sons who would be benefited by the free and unlimited coinage of silver would be silver-mine ocwners and silver - bullion dealers, and he was emphatic in stating that it would make every other man's | dollar worth 50 cents. Mr. Hobart treated the money issue in a concise manner, and classed as persons “who would suffer the most by this de- bauching proposition” the savings fund depositors, those interested in buiding and insurance - policy holders and wage- earners, all of whom would receive just half of the face value of their claims. *I have but little patience with this silver business,” the nominee went on to say, “for it seems to me that a bare statement of what it is would damn it.” Mr. Hobart stated that reputable Demo- crats are not snpporting Bryan. He quoted the financial plank of the Republican platform and econclude: “Buch is the platform upon which 1 stand. I accept its oprinciples. I approve 1its policy. It needs no argument to sustain it. In addition to this formulation of its expressed pro- visions, I believe, as I stated in my letter of acceptance, that an honest dollar worth 100 cents cannot be coined out of committee shail hereafter be a quorum. The transportation committee will meet at the Palace Hotel at 10 4.

But the Young Nebraskan Cannot Refrain From Aliuding to Politics. SPEAKS FOR FREE COINAGE, Farmers Flock Into Jacksonviile to See the Talkative Candidate for President. JACKSONVILLE, Irv, Oct. 26.—This was not William J. Bryan’s busy day. He spent most of it in the environment of old college association and late in the after- noon left the old educational community of Jacksonville, where, surrounded by many of those who knew him as a student years ago, he enjoyed nearly two whole days of restful quiet, the pleasantest period since his hardworking campaign began. It is true that his Jacksonville visit included two long addresses and an- other brief one, but the robust young nominee, with his record of thirty speeches in a single day, did not consider sach slight effort as worthy of designation as labor. He became a boy again in the morning as he sat with the students of his alma mater in the college chapel. He sang with them, and then made some in- teresting remarks defensive of himself with reference to insinuations that his purposes in leading the present agitations were not the best. A thrust at Major McKinley was contained in the few words he addressed to a delegation of visi- tors from the porch of the house where he was a guest, when he said that a speech made from a porch could not be consid- ered undignified. In the afternoon a great Democratic rally was held in Jacksonville, and Mr. Bryan made two speeches to large crowds, concluding his second in time to leave for Alton on. the regular train, to which his special car had been attached. This Mis- sissippi River town had him for three hours to-night, and the silver people resi- dent and visiting heard two speeches. Shortly after 10 o’clock Mr. Bryan left Alton, in continuation of his journey. He is due to reach Chieago to-morrow. The streets of Jacksonville began to show evidences early this morning that some special event was about to take place in the vretty college town. Vehicles, in which people had driven many miles, lined up along the curbs of the principal streets, while the sidewalks were crowded with excursionists. The presence of Wil- liam J. Bryan and his wife in the com- munity where they were educated and spent the first years of their married life was the magnet that attracted so many visitors, all of whom bad come to see and hear the candidate deliver a speech on the public squarein the afternoon. Horsemen attired in red, white and blue sashes and decorations of shimmering sil- ver foil galloped about the thoroughfares of Jacksonville from an early hour, and the occasional arrival of brass bands and free silver clubs added to the excitement and interest that pervaded the little city. Mr. Bryan began his day in a very pleas- ant way. Surrounded by students of his alma mater he made an address in the chapel of the Illinois State College in the forenoon in which he denied insinuations that he was not actuated by earnest belief in advocating the free coinage oi silver, and maintained that he was anxious to do the greatest good to the greatest num- ber of people in the United States. The little chapel was crowded. No dis- vlay was attempted, the relizious exer- cises that were practiced in Mr. Bryan’s time and are still maintained being car- ried outin all their simplicity. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan joined the students in sing- ing ‘‘America,” and in the responses to the twenty-fifth psalm, which preceded the introduction of the candidate by Dr. J. E. Bradley, the president of the college. When Mr. Bryan concluded there was great cheering, and again the students broke forth when President Bradley an- nounced a holiday in honor of the Demo- cratic nominee. The members of the Sigma Phi Society escorted Mr. and Mrs. Bryan to their carriage, singing their fraternity song and sent another cheer after them as they were driven away. The crowd at the pubiic sctuare began to collect early, and at 2 o’clock, when Mr. and Mrs. Bryan arrived, about 12,000 people were congregated closely around the broad platform from which the candi- date spoke, while as many unable to hear pathered on the streets in that vicinity. Daring the hour and a quarter occupied by Mr. Bryan the enthusiasm wus fre- quent and occasionally prolonged. His audience was composed almost entirely of farmers, and was undoubtedly in sym. pathy with his expressed views. Mr. Bryan also spoke to an audience of women at the opera-house, where a recep- tion in honor of Mrs. Bryan was held. Ig the course of his speech Mr, Bryan said: It is always pleasing to meet a large numbe; of people in any parc of the country, but it i especially gratifying to find so many willing to turn out on this occasion when I come back to the city which was for many yeers my homz2. It is gratifying to meet again the friends whom I'used to finow and to learn by their presence and their words that the ac- quaintance then formed iscontinued and the £00a will that they so often manifested then is still evident. I come back as the representa- tive of a great principle, as the champion of & great cause, as the candidate of those who be- lieve that the American people are able to at- tend to their own business. [Great cheering.] After the exercises in the college chapel Mr. Bryan made a littie speech to the del- egation from the porch of the residence of his host, Dr. R, K. Jones, in which he said he had peen accused of being undig- nified in going around the country to see the people, but that certainly there would be no criticism of him in making that sveech, as it was made from the porch of a house, which seemed to be the proper thing. The thrust was understood and upgeclned by the crowd. aving Jacksonville at 4:15, Mr. Bryan reached Alton at 7 o'clock. He made short speeches on the trip at Roodhouse and at Jerseyviile and shook hands with anumber of people at Kane and Godirey. Au Alton two_ big open-air audiences both gathered about the City Hall, and were addressed by Mr. Bryan to-night. He spoke from two sides of the building. Each adaress was devoted largely ‘to the money question, grounds familiar to the readers of the nomince’s speeches beinz covered. At 10:15 o’clock Mr Bryan left Alton for an all-night ride to Lincoin, IiL. where he wili speak in the moruning. His itinerary for to-morrow calls for Bloomington, Pontiac, Dwight, Braid- wood, J#liet and Lamout, with Chicago scheduled for 3:30 P . s BRIBERY 1S ALLEGED. Populist Roselle Says He Was Offered Money by Republicans. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 26.—Chairman Roselle of the Populist State Committee is preparing ovhletcc to present to the e believes will prove several prominent Republicans guilty of ante-election bribery. Mr. Roselle says that as chairman of his party’s State com- mittee he was offered $10,000 s a cam paign fund if fusion with Democrats on tke electoral ticket in Missouri were pre- vented. He further states that Judge O. D. Jones, candidate for Governor,; who re- tired in favor of the Democratic nominee, was offered $1000 to remain in the race. -| Other instances are cited by Mr. Roselle. He says he will give names and dates to the Grand Jury. ~All the alieged offenses are punishable by five years’ imprison- ment under the provisions of a law passed by the last Leguintnre. IN SILENT DISGUST. That Is How Watson Will Spend the Re- mainder of the Campaign. CHICAGO, Iil., Oct. 26.—All negotia- tions which were being conaucted by Western Chairman Washburn of the Pop- ulist National Committee, representing Candidate Watson, and Chairman Jones of the Democratic National Committee, for the purpose of solidifying the middie- of-the-road Populist vote for Bryan, were officially declared at an end to-day by Mr. Washburn in an interview with a reporter for the United Associated Presses. Dem- ocratic State committees, pamcnl’nrly the silver Democracy of Georgia and Tennes- see, are blamed for the failure of the nego- tiations. Mr. Watson will spend the remamder of the campaign practically in silent disgust, and his interesting letter of acceptance will likewise not appear in public to hurt the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Wasbhburn said: The negotiations wkich were fpendmg be- tween Senator Jones and myself are all off now. There were s few Stites where fusion was pending, and we were trying to consum- mate arrangements. When I visited Georgia I saw that it was vitally essential that all com- plications should be adjusted at once so_that the solid vote of the middle-of-the-road Popu- lists might be secured for Bryan, Upon my return, while we were arranging these mai- ters, it was flasned over the wires that the Georgia and Tennessee Democrats Liad re- jected the overtures made by the Populists, and adjourned without making & counter proposition. This was most unfortunate, 8s it occurred at a time when it seemed apparent that all complications would be removed, our people satistiea and Bryan’s election made certain, As these two States were involyed in our-arrangements this action rendered it im- ossible to continue negotiations, They were roxen off, and a couference arranged with Mr. Watson and Mr. Reed at Nashville that [ might report to them the facis of the case. The responsibility for all this must rest squarely upon the shoulders of the Georgiaand Tennes- see Democracy. They seemed more anxious to beat the Populists than to elect Bryan, and, whatever the results, the odium of their une patriotic Action must rest upon them. In all justice to Senator Jones I must say that {rom the beginning he has been eager 1o remove all complications and effect an equit- able fusion in every State. He has always shown & much greater degree of patriotism in these arrangements than the State committee of nis party, who were more anxious to make sure of their State tickets than they were to meet Populist committees half way ip perfect- ing fusion. There will be no_ further negotia- tions and whether our people and candidate have been recognized to the extent or not our committee desires that every Populist shall prove his patriotism in helping at the polls to elect Bryan, just as they did in nominating him atSt. Louis. This s no time for the set- tlement of differences. Our duty is to secure the triumpn of silver end every Populist should do his share and settle party differ- ences after election. I do not see what good would be ac- complished at this late day by the publication of Mr. Watson's letter, as Mr. Watson has made plain the principai points of his letter in his pu%uc speecnes; therefore I do not favor its publication. LmD PG P WILL SUPPORT BRYAN, But General Doe Cannot Stomach the Chigago Platform. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—The letter of General Joseph B. Doe, Assistant Secretary of War, in which he announces his 1ntention of supporting Mr. Bryan, was made public to-day oy the Assistant Secretary, whose views on political mat- ters have thus come into sharp ccnflict with those of Colonel Daniel Lamont, the Secretary of War. Assistant Secretary Doe addresses hisletter to a friend in Wis- consin (from which State he was ap- pointed), and in the course of it says, as already reported, that be cannot accept the Chicago platform as a correct declara- tion of Democratic principles; that he does not favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by our Government alone; that he greatly de- plores the attituae of the convention to- ward the National administration; thathe can find no comfort in the St. Louis piat- form or its eandidates, and that he detests all that is implied by the term **McKinley- ism.” He continues: 1 do not believe an _honest or earnest effort will be made Ly the next adminisiration, should it be Republicen, to enact legislation in the interests of the masses of the people in reference to matters wherein those interests may be opposed 1o the interests of the favored classes. The need of the country is that some definite determination should be arrived at as to the character of our measure of value, and I do not believe the election of McKinley would permanently settle the financial ques- tion now before the people. Republican suc- cess would simply prolong the struggle and continue our financial polm{ The election of Bryan would definitely settle the financial question and at least enabie ine vestors to calculate as to the future. Some commercial disturbance may follow the adop- tion of a silver Lasis, but I 4o not believe tnat uriversal wreck and chaos would follow, as is predicted by those who advocate the election of Mr. McKinley. i s NO FURTHER INSULTS, John G. Carlisle Now Receives Respect in Kentucky. OWENSBORO, Ky., Oct. 26.—Secretary John G. Carlisle spoke in the Tabernacle here this afternoon to 7000 people. He was given the mos! respectful attention and there were no attempts at anything like disorder. There were a great many ladies in the audience and many of them sent flowers to the stage. There were peo-’ ple present from all over the western por- tion of the State and several hundred came over from Southern Indiana. _ Hon. R. H. Taylor introduced Mr. Car- lisle, who was greeted with tremendous applause. In opening his speech Mr. Carlisle referred to his former visit to Owensboro, which was the_occasion for a speech against Populism. He said he was here to-day for this same purpose, but some people now called Populism Democ- Tacy. Mr. Carlisle’s speech was similar to those delivered at Covington and Bowling Green. Previous to the speaking, Mr. Carlisle held a reception at the Rudd House and nearly 1000 people shook hands with him. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 26.—Secretary Carlisle arrived from Owensboro at 8:20 o'clock and spent the evening in the Courier-Journal oftice. Up to the time he lett he had not received a reply to a tele- eram sent by him to Covington inquiring ifhe was eligible to register, but a dis- patch from Covington, printed in an after- noon paper, says that Mr. Carlisle will be able to qualify as a yoter. If such is the case Mr. Carlisle will not retur to Wash- ington until after the election. Mr. Car- lisle will speak here Wednesday night at the Auditorium.

On the way from Sioux City to Council Bluifs they were greeted at each station by good audiences, making speeches at Onawa, Modale and Missouri Vailey, being pre- ceded briefly by General Buckner. There they were met'also by alarge delegation from this city, who acted as escort. On their arrival here they were received by members of the G.

Citizens to Proseoute 2hose Who Insulted Carlisle. COVINGTON, Ky., Oct. 26.—The law- abiding citizens of Covington, irrespective of party affiliations, crowded Oad Feltows' Hall to-night, the occasion being the meeting called to condemn the action of the rowdies who rotten-egged and other- wise insulted Secretary %onn G. Carlisle last week, p Resolutions were adopted condemning the outrage and insults offered the Secre- tary of the Treasury and demanding that the city authorities offer a reward and take steps to discover and punmish the offeaders. Hon. Henry Hall offered a substitute or the resolution which censured the Yalestudents for their discourtesy toward Mr. Bryan. This was unanimously voted down, on the ground that the meeting was not called for that purpose. —_—————— Zhe Vote in North Carolina.

WILL GET EETURNS, Major McKinley to Receive the Report of the United Associated Presses. CANTON, Onro, Oct. 26.—A force of linemen began to-day the work of string- ing additional wires from the office cf the Western Union Telegraph Company in this city to Major McKinley’s residence, and on the night of the election the large dining-room which connects with Major McKinley’s library will be converted into & veritable telegraph office. The candi- date was of the epinion that the returns furnished him over the special wire which at present connects his residence with the Republican headquartersin New Yorkand Chicago would be sufficient as conveying the result in a general way, but he has vielded to the suggestions of several of his personal friends and has permitted additional wires to be placed in his home for the reception of more complete and detailed reports of the election. In addi- tion to the private-wire returns, Major McKinley wiil receive the full election- night service of the United Associated Presses over its special wire, which has also been connected with the candidate’s home, together with the bulletins of the ‘Western Union Telegraph Company. —_— ALL THE Will Carry West Virginia. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 26.—Hon.

Mr. McDowell ex- presses the opinion that MecKinley will carry West Virginia by from 18,000 to 25,000. MINISTER BUCHANAN'S VIEWS. Makes a Report to the State Department on Money Prices in Foreign Countries. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—W. L Buchanan; United States Minister to the Argentine Republic, in a report to the State Department on money and prices in foreign countries says: A majority of those who have written to me from the Undted States regarding wages and prices have invariably asked me to give them the result of my observations with regard to the practical workings of the cheap-money system of this country as it haseffected and affects the farmer and wage-earner, On this point let me say that from an ex- tended and careful personal observation I am convinced that with possibly a fewexceptions, all classes of workmen are here to-day receiv- ing less wages, the purchasing power of their money being considered, than they were ten years ago. It is true and easily understood that as long as gold was rising the farmer, who was selling his products as he had always done and con- tinues to do, on a gold price, fixed outside of the country, was sieadily receiving higher paper prices for all that e had 1o sell, and was in consequence a direct gainer by high gold. It is equally true that he hus been the gainer in other ways; -he has paid but little more rent if any for his land than he paid five years ago. Strange as its seems, he has paid and is to-day paying but a trifle more to his leborers than when gold ®as on a par ten years ago, ana as he produces on his farm the meat, vegetRbles, etc., necessary for his fam- ily ho has had the lion’s share of the gain in the rise in gold. On the other hand, the workman found'it very difficult to get an increase in his wage: as gold advanced. It required four years for him to get an average increase of 20 per cent in his earnings, while the farmer has been re- ceiving the benefits of an increase in the gold premium averaging more than 50 per cent for the same period. In the mean- time the merchant found it easy and rofitable to increase the ° price of is goods, in_keeping with the rise of gold. Rents likewise increased, although more slowly, and as the prices of all commodi- ties rose the laborer found himself daily being made poorer. Agitate as he would, he could not get his salary increased in any reasonable roportion to the increased premium of gold. m{n were resorted to; all sorts of efforts made to bring about &n increase in his re- ceipts; until finally the last year reached what we ray call “wage high-water mark.” Since then gold has steadily fallen. The first person to feel the decline has been the farmer, who is complaining bitterly of the relatively low prices heis receiving for his products, while he finds himself obliged to ay the same prices for what he buys that he 814 when he received $2 50 more for every 100 kilos of wheat that he now receives. Low gold does not induce the merchant to “mark down’’ his goods with the same good- will he manifested whern he advanced their price. Notwithstanding the decline in the employer’s income as gold falls, the workman will not, in all probability, consent to a de- crease in his present wages without & bitter fight; nor can he do so unless there is a sharp decline in rents and in the cost of living. —_—— EDWIN WINTER I8 PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—If Sec- ond Lieutenant Joseph R. Binns, Com- pany D, First Infantry, calculated that his resignation would cause a stir in Washington he clearly reckoned without his host. Several weeks 'ago this officer published a two-column letter in a Chi- cago paper, expressing his opinion that a revolution will result in this country as a result of the pending political cam- paign, and -as he was convinced that the power of government would be exevcised against the people through the use of Federal troops he did not pro- pose to remain longer in the military ser- vice. He stated that he had accordingly forwarded his resignation to Washington, with a full statement of the reasons for his course. Although this lefter was pub- lished several weeks ago, his letter of resignation’ was not received at the War Department until this morning. There was no delay of action upen his resignation. Adjutant-General Ruggles handed it to Sccretary Lamont and the latter tock it over to the White House, with the result that it was accepted forth- with and Lieutenant Binns is no longer in the army. Although his action in publicly assailing the honor and integrity of his superior officers was clearly in violation of the ar- tictes of war and rendered him subject to trial by court martial with a possible dis- honorable dismissal the authorities con- cluded to overlook his unmilitary conduct and allow him to surrender his commis- sion without prejudice to his record. Lieutenant Binns, who is alternately referred to by his military associates as “an anarchist” snd ‘“‘a calamity howler,” is now in Chicago on leave of absence working in the interest of the election of Bryan. His company is stationed at Benicia Island, California. He entered the service as a private soldier in March, - 1890, and subseqguently became corporal, in which capacity he served until November, 1893, when he was appointed second lieutenant of the First infantry. He received his commission as a result of a competitive examination among enlisted men. Heis a man of good education, but is said to be far in advance of the times in his ideas of political and social economy. —— OF INTEREST 70O THE COA4ST.
