His visitors to-day came from New England and Ohio. were composed wholly of women. The most elaborate speech of the day was the one addressed to the Sound Money League of New England, and it was received wita fervent demonstrations ' of avproval. Every delegation to-day brought great clusters of flowers for both Major and Mrs. McKinley. The first delegation to arrive was a large one from the mountain counties of West ja and Meryland. A delegation of seventy-five ladies from Martins rrived with the West Virginia and and people. They wecre presented Pratt. Major McKinley thanked them cordially for the compliment of their call and ad- dressed them with the larger delegation. t make a speech to the Martins ior the reason that it came in with another delegation and did sk for a separate address. he nex: delegation came irom Cleve- and was composed of about 1000 n the aggregate of the Ujson »any, the Lampson-Sessions and the Peck, Stow and Wilcox vas a hilarious Ma- Compan; and uncommonly enthusiastic one. . jor McKinley's appearance was greeted with thunders of applause and cheers that continued for several minutes. The spokesman said that a large num- * ber of the men in the delegation voted for “was rade four years ago and thatthey been sorry for it ever since and pro- to reverse the verdict they helped nder then. Major McKiniey took line.of thought ana discussed the or several minutes, Pressing closely behind the Cleveiand -delegations were the 500 workingmen from ;the Junction Iron and Steel Works of Mingo Junction, Ohio. Captain W. J. Urquhart introduced them to McKinley, swho addressed them standing in tront of | lawn. A special train of handsome Wagner sleeping and dining cars brought a fine deiegation from Boston and New England ciies at 2 o'clock. The excar:ion was under the auspices of the Boston Herald. The members of the New England Sound Money League, who composed the delegation, was met, at the station by the mounted Canton {roop and the widely known Grand Army band and a. commit- tee of prominent citizens, who escorted them to Major McKinley’s residence. spokesman for the New England visitors Hon.” Frank W. Rollins, who ad- dressed Major McKinley with great earn- estr nd eloguence. This delegation brought several gifts to Major McKinley. R. A. Soule of New Bedford presented him with a large cuiglass punch-bowl and some hand- somely polished whales’ teeth, 0. W. Holmes, on the part of the Salem Cogs- well Republican Club, with a golden witch spoon, and the women of Massa- chusetts, through Mrs. Emma Aimy, sent _Major McKinley a twig from a pear tree nted in Danvers in 1630 by Governor dicott. A letter was read from the Governor of Massachusetts wishing the delegation a pleasant journey, and one from Edward P. Shaw. Mr. McKinley addressed the New Eng- Jand delegation in part as follows: pla This is a year, my fellow-citizens, when par- tisanship counts for naught and patriotism for everything. Itismota question simplyas - to whether one party or another shall win, as in times past—that sinks into comparative in- | significance in a crisis like this—but it isa question whether now, in our great strength, we shall proclaim to the world whether or not we are a Nation of peoole that can bs trusted | or whether we shall allow it said that'we, the people of the United States, believe in paying our honest aebts in bits of metal stamped 1n the name and by the authority of the great Republic as worth a hundred cents for all duties, public and private, when in fact they are worth only 50 cents. Ithauk you from the bottom of my heart or thiscall—not as a tribute to me; far from that, but as & tribute to the holiest cause in which citizens of a iree republic ever were engaged—that of maintaining their honor and credit. A well organized and interesting delega- tion of women from Norwalk, Ohio, were the next callers. There were more than 300 in line when thay marched up the streets accompanied by a reception com- mittee of Canton ladies. Each woman in in the delegation carried a red, white and blue umbrella. They marched well and pad several bands. The ladies were greeted with cheers and applause along the line of march. .B. A Tloxom was marshal and L. C. Laylin made the address to r McKinley. It wasa ringing politi- cal sp-ech and she was freely anplauded. Mrs. George S. Titus presented Mrs. Mec- Kinley with flowers. The Norwalk ladies were introduced to Major McKinley by Mre. R. W. Day of Canton. After Major McKinley's remarks to the Norwalk ladies they sang *The Red, White and Blue.” The last delegation to-day was a sprightly one composed of about 300 mem- bers of the Underwriters’ Sound-money Club of Cleveland. Major McKinley made the most stirring speech of the day to the underwriters. R S5, FOr BROME AND COUNTEFY. [ Chairman Hanna Issues a Final Ap- peal to Voters, CHICAGO, Irn. Oct. 27.—On behalf of the Renublican National Committee Chair- wan Hanna issued to-day his last appeal, addressad “To Voters,” After impressing upon their minds the fact that the destiny . of the Nation is in their hands he advises them to calmly and carefully think before Lhey vote in the seclusion of their booths, Two delegations | - McKinley 1n a graceful speech by | The | with their conscience as their only guide. He urges them to look upon the flag as they go to the polls and reflect on the cost of its preservatio They are reminded of the cull to dis-' play the flag next Saturday and are asked to let the National colors remain until after the election as an inspiration to voters and & universal expression of pa- triotism. Finally patriotic voters are asked to *‘secure for these great principles —good money, good government. ana pro- tection to your home and your flac—at least one other vote by individual effort,” and the women of the country arees- .vecially appealed to for effective work in this direction. Special dispatches were received by Mr. Hanna from Iowa, giving the expected majority there for McKinley at 50,0005 from Minnesota, claiming the State by 30,000 to 40,000; from Michigan, putting the majority there at 30.000, and from | Kentucky, placing that State in the Me- Kinley column by 15,000 to 25000. The Tennessee State Committee also sent in- formation to Mr. Hanna thatit woun.d go Republican. 1he Bryvan demonstration under the walls of the headquarters building did not have any perceptible eifect on the spirits of the campeign chairman or on his suborainates. He: was as confident as ever, and said Bryan had come to Chicago 100 late to make any serious inroads upon the Republican ranks. Mr. Hanna said: “This Bryan noise does not send any cold shivers chasing upand down my spinal column. Nearly all the voters have got their minds made up on the main issue, so that any changes which Mr. Bryan may effect while here will not'show materially in the result.” CAN FOTE As THEY PLEASE. Chauncey M. Depew Says Railroad Men Are Not Coerced. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—There have been a number of charges made by the Democrats that the employers of rail- road men were attempting to coerce their ‘ emvnloyes and compel them to vote for McKinley. Channcey M. Depew, president of the New York Central Railroad, has been in- | censed greatly over these charges, because | be is at the head of a system which em- ploys a large number of men. He said to a reporter yesterday : “I went to Rochester last week to ap- pear before a meeting of thé railroad men for the specific purpose of informing them myself that the railroad of which 1 am president, or its board of directors, does notintend and will not do anything what- soever to require a man to vote in any way except as his conscience may dictate. As | the official head of this road I know that | the board of directors and stockholders wish the men to have absolute political independence. No man ever has been asked or requested in any way to vote for any one or anything. IfI learn that an official of this road attemptsin any way to coerce an employe, no matter how high or low, I shall discharge him immediately. Every railroad man has a right to vote a$ he pieases, and so has every one else to do 0.7 — IOWA SAFE FOR McKINLEY. Repulicans Will Have a Majorily in the State of 75,000. | DES MOINES, 10w4, Oct. 27.—Chairman | McMillan of the Republican State Com- mitiee to-day gave out a detailed state- ment claiming the State by 75,000 for Me- Kinley. - His figures are as follows: Me- Kinley 251,113, Bryan 175926, Palmer 8500, Prohibition (two tickets) 4500. Mr. McMillan says that in the Jast four years the widest variation ever made by the Republican poll from the resuit of the election in 1892, when the poll showed the State Republican by 30,000 and it went only 23,000. This year's is the best poll ever made. He givesthe figares on a large number of counties which the silver men have claimed by reason of great defections from Republican ranks, and shows that they are all safely Republican. Three per | cent of the Repubtican vote, or 7500, he | concedes for Bryan. He claims 30,000 Dem- ocratic votes. The tendency of the last two weeks has been for all sound-money Democrats to vote for McKinley. Ger- mans, railroad men and business men make up the Democratic vote for McKin- ley. Mr. McMillan claims all the Con- gressional districts for the Republicans. s s st = WEST VIEGINIA IN LINE, Voters Will Snow Under Bryan and Free Silver. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.-George Wise, chairman of the Republican ad- visory committee of West Virginia, writes to Assistant Secretary Perkins at Repub- “There is positively no question about West Virginia. We are to have a great sound-money demonstration here Novem- ber 2, when Republicans and sound- money Democrats will join hands against Bryanism. We shall give McKinley and Hobart a handsome plurality.” General Powell Clayton, who is in charge of the speakers’ bureau at Repub- lican headquarters, said this afternoon: “The letters I am receiving from our speakers in what may be called the doubt- ful Southern States are most encouraging in character. The reporis from Tennessee, ‘West Virginia, Maryland and North Caro- lina all indicate that these States will cast their electoral votes for McKinley.” BEWARE OF There Is Danger of the Disease Coming From Cuba. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 27.—The public health report, issued by the Marine Hospital Service, brings to the attention of the authorities the danger of importing vellow fever from Cuba through a new and hitherto unknown agency. Dr. D. M. Burgess, sanitary inspector from Havana, writes 10 Surgeon-General Wyman uncer | date of October 17: “I 2am informed that the Government here has appropriated and is already using { for hospital purposes the extensive alma- cenes or sugar store-houses «f Regla, which structures, it will be remembered, are situated contiguous to the wharf on the opposite side of the harbor from this city. This measure, ot course, will infect those buildings, and poseibly much sugar may be stored in them.'" Dr. Burgess says: “Yellow fever does not exist to any great extent among civilians in this city, owing to the fact that few of such persons have come here during the past year who are liable to have it. But that disease continues with ail its malignancy and perhaps increasing numbers among the Spanish soldiers. The statistics of the many military hospi- tals.in the neighborhood of Havana, that is to say within a radius of twenty-five miles or so, cannot at present be obtained if ever, % “Sixty-one of the sixty-five deaths from yellow fever during the week were among Spanish soldiers in the miluary hospitals, while the remaining four deatbs from that disease were amoug civilians in the city. "ySmnllpox here is now limited almost entirely to civilians, ard the Spanish troops are now supposed to be vaccinated either before leaving Spain or on their YELLOW JACK. ay here. “All the deaths from cmallpox were among civilians in poor circumstances.” lican National headquarters as follows: | !

Speakers Assist the Boy Orator of the P.atte in Shouting for Cheap Money. CHICAGO, ILv., Oct. 27.—A conquering hero returning home from victories galore could. not bave been.more royally wel- comed than was William J. Bryan on his arrival in Chicago this afternoon. The enthusiasm was remarkable. Crowds lined the entire route over which he passed, from the railway station to the scene his initial specch in his fight for Cook County, and maintained a continu- ous cheering. Many organizations pledged to support the Democratic nominee were in the escort procession, brass bands vlayed patriotie marching airs with a vicor born of the excitement along the way, and altogether from the time his train came to a standstill in the Union depot until he concluded his address at Battery Barmory he was lauded by thousands of enthusiasts with such heartiness of voice and action that he could not help feeling gratified and showing that gratification in his remarks. A wild shriek that continued to grow in { volume went up from the big crowds lining every approach to the Union depot when Bryan’s special pulled in at 3:30, exactly on time. The police had done very well in their endeavor to keep the people out of the inclosure whete the trains stand, buta couple of thousand men and boys eluded the blue-coats, and made a dash for the | private car in which Mr. Bryan has trav- | eled for the past three weeks. The police ‘[ were almost powerless in their attempt to { keep the shouting enthusiasts from over- | whelming the candidate and his wife, and | it was only by a hard struggle that they were pushed, pulled and wedged to a stair- way leading to the street. This proved an island of safety, for the police turned on the excited mob follow- ing Mr. ana Mrs. Bryan and kept them from going farther. Outside street and sidewalk were crowded. A great cheer went up as the candidate stepped intoa | carriage drawn by four white horses. After some delay the procession started, the car- | riage containing Mr. and Mrs. Bryan pass- ing through a double line of political or- ganizations, which fell into !ine and fol- | lowed after 1t. The central committee of the Cook County People’s party organ- ization, the central committee of the { Democratic party of Cook County, the {Silver Leagte of Cook County, the presi- dents and secretaries of Democratic and | silver clubs of Cook Couniy, the Carter Harrison Association, Cook County Dem- ocracy Marching Club, a Nebraska free- | Silver club, and Bryan clubs composed of Germans, Irish, French, Polish, Bohe- n, Hebrew and other foreign nation- ies were in the parade. The candidate had as his personal escort | & large body of men, composing the Chi- | cago reception committee, who marched | beside Lis carriage over the entire route. They proceeded up Canal street to Madi- | son, to Fifth avenue, to Washington street, to Clark, to Monroe and to Battery D, ar- riving at the intersection of Monroe with Micbigan avenue. All along the ground about the line of march the greatest en- thusiasm was manifested. Hisses were heard frequently. They came principally from people who swarmed in the windows of business houses and b-ought vigorous responses of an uncomplimentary charac- ter from those in the line. As the negro_silver club was hissed the loudest so was it the recipient of the great- est shouts of applause. The Cdok County | Democracy Marching Ciub also came in ! for much of the enthusiasm. Nearly everybody in the procession carried an American flag. It was just before Mr. Bryan reached the Armory building on the lake front that the only incident that marred the demon- stration occurred. A number of eggs were thrown in the direction of his carriage from the Metronolitan Business College, on the fourth floor of a building situated on the north side of Monroe street, near the corner of Michigan avenue. None of the missiles reached the candidate or | his wife, but several members of the re- ception committee marching beside them | suffered. Dauiel J. McMahon, a lawyer; Sol Van Praag, a well-known First Ward. politi- cian; James Traynor and J. R. Pyne were among those who exhivited yellow stains jon their clothing to a reporter of the United Associated Presses. The spacious Armory, capable of hold- ing 10,000 people standing, had be 'a kept clear by the police until the arrival of the principal actor. A wild rush of the peo- ple followed Mr. Bryan's entrance. So quick was the charge of those anxious to get inside that Mrs. Bryvan had not time to alight before a wild cheering mob sepa- rated her from her husband. She there- fore remained in her carriage and was driven to the Auditorium annex, where the nominee will make his headquarters while here. ‘When Mr. Bryan, cheered by the 2000 | or more who bad obtained entrance be- fore him and wno were seated in the gal- lery, reached the stage and had shaken hands with National Committeeman Fa- han ana other prominent Democrats who were seated there, the doors were opened and the outside crowd poured in. By that time, however, many thousands of those who had witnessed Mr. Bryan’s arrival ! had gone away, but those who remained were sufficient in number to crowd, with- | out too much discomfort to themselves, the entire floor space. Alex Jones, chairman of the Cook County Démocratic Campaign Commit:ee, made an eloquent address of welcome that was frequently cheered. He was fol- lowed by Joun Weinberg, who presented Mr. Bryan with a silver star in behalf of the Demccratic Hebrew Club. Then the candidate rose and a scene that he has witnessed so frequently in the past three months was repeated with vigorous en- thusiasm. Many people in the audience carried American flags, and these they waved in accompaniment to their cheers, Hats were waved and handkerchiefs flaunted, and for a minunte or two the building resounded with applause, A bugler 1n uniform blew a call and thus secured partial quie!, butybefore Mr, Bryan could speak there was much con- jusion cansed by hisses that seemed to proceed mainly from the gallery and shouts of di-approval from the more ardent of the Bryanit Finally things became still enough to let the candidate be heard and he began his speech in a voice somewhat. hoarse, but which could be heard distinetly over the hall. His speech follows: Mr. Chairman, Fellow-citizens: I came to 1 | Dot the candidate himself to.open this campaign and I return to your city to take ‘part in the closing exercises of this campaign. I have witnessed to-day a scenc which impresses me and leads me to be- lieve that this great city of the West, which resis upon the prosperity of the great mass of our people, which cannot prosper witnout they prosper—that this great eity will cast its iufluence one week from to-day on the side of an American financial policy for the Ameri- can people. [Applause.] 1 beg 1o express my deep gratitude to these organizations which participated in this wei- come to-day. My friends, I am not vain enough to belleve that auy part of the extra- ordinary enthusiasm which I have witnessed between the Missouri and the Atlantic Coast is intended as & personal tribute. , my iriends. I want you to believe me when I say that in this great contest it is tne principles for which the candidate stands and that has called forth these demonstrations. Applause.] There is only one thing for which I claim any credit. I believe that you and others who have exrressed themselves as you have ex- pressed yourselves have confidence that I will carry out the pledges which I have made in this campaien. [Applause.] Itissimply your confidence that I will do waat I promise io do and car ry out the ideas for which, in_this campeigu, I stand, and for this only that 1 can elaim any credit. But, my friends, what credit. is it to a man to be what he seems (o be? Why, if I were other than true to.the principles which I ad- voeate I would be,beneath the contempt of those whose suffrages I ask. [Applause.] 1 do believe that in this campaign a great ques- tion is to be determined, for the present, at least; [ do believe that the settlement of that question affects every man, woman and child in all this land, and when I see the people stirrcd as they bave been seidom stirred be- fore, | believe that they appreciate the respon- sibilities of citizenship and that they intend that their ballot shall be cast for that finan- cial policy they belleve to be best for them- selves, their neighbors and their country. [Applause.] T'appreciute, too, the kindly feeling that nas prompted this gift from the Hebrew Democ- racy. [Applause.] Ouropponents have some- times tilea to make it 8ppear that when we denounce the financial policy advocated by the Rothschilds we are attacking a race. We are not, my friends. We are equally oglposed to thefinuncial policy of J. Fierpont Morgan as we are to the financial policy of the Roth- gchilds. We are not attacking a race; we are auacking greed and avarice, which knows no race nor religion. [Applause.] . 1donot know of any class of our pevpie Who, by reason of their history, can better sympathize with the struggling masses in this_campaign than the Hebrew race. [Applause.] Whenever we have a greatcontest and when- ever right 1s arrayed agaiust might the exam- ple.of David and Goliah is always cited to give inspiration to those who fight for the trath. David conquered not beause he was strong— he conquered not because of his might; he conquered because he was on the right side of trutn, and in this contest if our Hebrew friends will liken me to David, let me say to them that as David trinmphed because he was on the rightside, so my only hope of victory is in the righteousness of our cause. [Greatap- plause.] My friends, I may be wrone. [Cries of *“No, no,” and cheers.] I have never ciaimed infal- 1ibility ; but when I examine a question and reach a conclusion which I b2lieve to be right, when I take & position which my judgment supports, | am willing 10 stand by what I be- Heve, I care not what may happen. And in this struggie for the restoration of bimetal- lism tnere was a time when I haa less com- pany than 1 have now. [Launghter.] Your papers call me a demagogue.

[Applause.] My friends, let me now get through with tuat sentence. '(Laugh- Iter aud a voice, “Ain’t he a peach?’ and cheers.] Now let me finish that sentence. A demagogue is & man who advocates a thing in order to conciliate those who aiffer from him. [Cheeérs.] A demagogue is & man who is willing to ad- vocate anything, whether he believes it or not, which will be of advantage to him and gain him populanty. [Gieatapplause.] Now, my friends, I have never sdvocated during my public life a single thing I did not myseli believe in. [Applause.] 1 have proven my willingness to go down in'defeat by advo- cating things when I was in & minority, and I have always been willing to accept defeat when 1 went down with my convictions rather than to rise by demagogueism. [Applause.] I say that here because in this cijy the papers are against us and we have to do our own talking for ourselves. [Cries of “How about the Dispatch ?” and cheering.] 1 do mot mean to slight the Dispatch, but you know that the great bulk of the press of ihis ity are agalnst us and that we must seek 1o reach the peopie directly, because we have not the advantage that our opponeuts have of 1eaching them through the daily press. 1f there is anybody in this city who believes that the free coinage of silver will be injurious to this country he has a right and a reason for voting against those who stand ior tree coin- age; but Ido not wantany person who is in {avor of the money of the constitution to be deterred from voting for those wuo stand for it Dby any abuse that any of our opponents may use against us between now and election day. | [Great cheering.] | “Ishaul be in this city for a few daysand shall see as many of your paople as it is pos- | sible for me to see 1n that time; and Isnall deiend the principle for which I stand before these people, and 1 am going to talk to thé people themselves and not zo to the employer | and bargain for the delivery of the votes of the peovle. [Great cheering.] I have been taught to believe thav the baliot was given to the individual for his own use and that the citizen who has the right to vote also has the ablity to determine how he ought to vote. Therelfor, in this campaign, I want to address | my argumentt to the individuai yoter und not to'the head of a firm or the president of a rail- road or a boss of a corporation. [Wild cheer- ing and a voice, “We'll be with you Tuesday. "] Three political parties have declared that the money question is the paramount issue and the bolung Democrats who are helping the Republican ticket without having the coursge to come out and say so have deciared that this money question is the paramount is- sue, and the leading Republicrns have admit- ted it. And yet, when our opponents are driven to the wall on the money question; ‘when they have failed in their attempt to de- fend themselves beiore the American people, they atterapt to turn the discussion of this campaign off from the money question and on to other issues. [Cheers.[ Butl give them notice that for one week more they have to march up to the money question and tackle it. [Great applause.] In the past the gold standard has gained every advantage which it has thus far gained unaer cover and in thedark.

[Great cheering.[ Mr. Bryan's first evening spcech was delivered at Arcade Hall, Sixry-fifth and ‘Wentworth sireets, at 7 o'clock. Long before the hour the large hali was crowded with enthusiastic supporters of the silver cause, and by 7 o’clock the number unable to obtain a glimpse of the leather-lunged elocutionist from the shallow river Platte when he left the ball, was fully as great as the crowd inside. Mr. Bryan spoke briefly, explaining the issue of the camphign and closed with the assurance that the advocates of free coin- age did not desire to coerce any one, but only wished each voter to study the ques- tion for himself and vote as his conscience should dictate. *‘I do not want your votes as a personal tribute,”” he declared, “if I have your heart I am satis fied that your votes will be cast as you believa is for the best’ interests of your country, and Iam content to abide the resuit.” % ;be Polish school hall,where Mr. Bryan delivered his third speech, will hold prob- ably 1000 people when filled as it was to- night, but early in the evening the doors were locked to prevent overcrowding, and another great mass of people gathered in the yard adjoining, and they were only appeased by the assurance that Mr. Bryan would show nimself there before goin his way. Inside the rafters were lined Cbicngo as I started on my way to New York | with clinging men and boys when Mr. | Bryan appesred, and the greeting was of the most enthusiastic kind. ¢ % A large majority of this audience was made up of Poles, and as Mr. Bryan con- -ciuded his remarks he was presented with a bouquet of sixteen white and one yellow chrysanthemum, attached to which was a ‘card inscribed: “16-1. To’' our next President, compliments of the Polish toilers.”” A band of sixteen young iadies in white and one in gold occupied the platform and greeted him with song. Mr. Bryan spoke against allowing for- eign influences to predominate, and said the peovle of Poland, many of whose sons were in the andience, know the effect of foreign domination. - [Cheers and cries of “Good.””] In conclusion Mr. Bryan warned his hearers against allowing em- ployers to influence their votes, saying the employer had no more right to dictate to them how they should vote than they had to dictate to the employer how he should vote. The fact that some employ- ers are resorting {o coercion shows that they have lost faith 1n the justice of their cause, and are'afraid to trust the wisdom of the people. Inside and around the mammoth tent at Twenty-ninth and Halstead streets about 15,000 people were massed when Mr. Bryan and his escort arrived, at 9:15. The nominee was cheered heartily. So great was the rush of the crowd in his di- rection as he leit the tent to go to Tatter- sall’s that several of the outer poles were carried away, and for a minute there seemed to be danger thatthe immense tented structure might collapse. Quick work on the part of the police kept the crowd back until the nominee had gone and the danger was averted. Tweniy-five thousand - people were packed in the pit_and gallery of Tatter- sall’s when Mr, Bryan emerged on the small platform after a brief but exciting struggle with a crowd outside the build- ing. This great audience was composed mainly of men who had physical endur- ance and party spint in sufficient quantity to contend for seat or standing space and then remained sweltering in_the half-suf- focating atmosphere until Mr. Bryan ar- rived. The great iron arches which spanned the seas of human faces were fringed with men who waited for tbe nomines in a perilous position. Enthusiasm upon the arrival of Mr. Bryan and at frequent intervals during his speech was intense but not of long duration. If McKinley wmen were there they did not show it by any counter aem- onstration. . Mr. Bryan was presented with a floral horseshoe by the Horseshoers’ Association of Milwaukee. Mr. Brvan talked about half an hour, his address being along the lines of those delivered earlierin-the even- ing. Fh ity THAT EGG INCIDENT. It Was Probably the Prank of a Mis- chievous Boy. CHICAGO, Irn., Oct. 27.—The egg- throwing incident of the Bryan parade this afternoon has aroused considerable indignaticn in Chicago, and Chief of Po- lice Badenoch took prompt action in the matter. After the Battery D meeting, Saul Van Praag and J. W. Murray of the Cook County Marching Club, who were hit by the eggs, made a complaint to the police. The organization of which they are members acted as escort to Mr. Bryan in the parade from the Union depot to Bat- tery D. While passing a building on Michigan avenue, between Madison and Monroe streets, three eggs were thrown from a window of the Metropolitan Busi- ness College. One of them bit Mr. Van Praag full in the buck, and those march- ing near him bad their clothes spattered. None of the eggs hit Mr. Bryan or came nearer his carriage than probably ten feet. The Chief on hearing the complaint, de- tailed fifteen men to investigate the mat- ter and offered a reward. of $300 for the apprehension of the throwers. No arrests have been made. It 1s stated that one of the tenants occu- pied by the business college saw a boy probably 18 years old climbing down the fire escape about tha time the incident occurred. This leads to the belief that the occurrence was the prank of an over enthusiastic youth. The coliege dismissed its pupils at 4 o'clock, and the place was deserted by the time Chief Badenoch’s men-arrived on the scene. The matter will be fully investi- gated to-morrow. The rumor was wide- spread during the afternoon that one of the eggs had fallen in Mrs. Bryan’s lap. This is without foundation, and was prob- ably started by some persons who saw a ball of paper fall into the seat beside the nominee at the time the eggs were being thrown, —_— LYNCH'S WILD PRATTLE, Says That Republican Agents Are In- timidating the Farmers. MINNEAPOLIS, Mix~, Oct. 27.—E. R. Lynch, secretary of the People’s party State Committee, makes the following statement: Within the past forty-eight hours I have re- cetved 500 letters from different sections of the State saying that loan agents are notifying mortgagers that in case Bryan is elected they will promptly foreclose every mortgage as fast as it becomes dueand that insurance agenis say they will cancel all policies in the same event. The letters state that in every township in the State where the farmers are heavily mort- gaged and where the silver sentiment is strong, one of these agents can be found. The Republicans have mede a careful poll of these townships and know who have mortgages, when they are due, how the mortgager in- tenas to vote, his nationality, whether he can bz influenced, ete. * This intormation is given to the agent so that he knows how to work each person. Some he tells that Bryan intends to demonetize gold, and that there will be no gold with which to pay gold mortgages. He tells others that if Bryan is elected gold wiligo to & premium and that it will take two silver dollars 10 get one gold dollar; and, therefore, it will take twice as many doliars lo pay his mortgage if Bryan is elécted. He pats the farmer on the back and tells him that nothing but pure love for the facmer induces these banks, loan companies and in- surance companies tocall on him and warn him against danger; that these companies are opposed to ary law that would compel the farmer to pay them twice as many doliars as he borrowed. Oh, you have no idea how those soulless corporations love the dear farmer! Taey are the greatest philanthropists in the world. 1fear that Jesus made a great mistake when he drove the money-changers from the temple. He did not know them as well as we do, you know. If Jesus shonid come on earth lc—dn{_‘ and eall for disciples to follow him, and reached his gospel of charity and brotherly ove, whata great rush there would be from the banks, corporations, and from Hanna’s committee to be his disciples. It will give the State to Bryan by a tremen- dous majority. It isthe last grand cffort of & corrupt and unscrupulous party to rescuwe it- self from overwhelming defeat. It isa desper- ate game and will react. We' will lose a few hundred votes by it, but will gnin thousands. It is the most appalling case of intimidation in the history of the human race. A party that will resort to such methods of campaign- ing should be swept from the face of the earth forever, and I believe that it will, -~ ARE PERMITIED 10 SPEAK. United States Attornens, However, Must Not Become Offenatve. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27.—It is learned by inquiry st the Department of Justice that no attempt has been made by the Attorney-General to prevent United States Attorneys from making political speeches during the present campaign, although a number of such officers have been making them on both sides of the the money question. While the Attorney- General would prefer that such officers should not make speeches, he resolved early in the campaign and advised vari- ous ones of them who inquired that no complaint would be made, providirg pub- lic business should not be neglected and speaking should be in the officer’s neigh- borhood where he would not be out of reach; that it should not be carried on to such an extent asto be thought to inter- fere with thedischarge of duty, and should also be confined to a decorous discussion of the questions at issue. The various complaints which bave been reckived irom sound-money men against officers making free-silver speeches indicate a misapprehension of the policy of the de- artment, which has been confined to for- giddia; its officers from becoming candi- dates for office or taking part as members of committees ororganizations in the man- agement or direction of the campaign. While the majorily of attorneys have not made such speeches, it is learned that several are doing 0 on behalf of the three Presidential tickets, but all, it is be- lieved, within the limits above mentioned. —_—— WAISON’S LETTER RECEIVED, But Senator Butler Is Not Anxious to Hare It Published. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27.—Senator Marion Butler, chairman of the Populist National Committee, to-night gave out the following: Mr. Watson’s letter was received Saturday night. It had been detained in the postoffice for want of sufficient postage, and I had not been notified by the postoffice authorities. Of course, 1 expected Mr. Watson to give his letter to the public in the usual way as soon as he had it raady. At a recent meeting of our Executive Com- mittee at Chicago Mr. Washburu was sent by our committee to Thomson, Ga., to confer with Mr. Watson. On last Monday, October 19, I re- ceived a telegram from Mr. Washburn, sent while he was at Mr. Watson’s home at Thom- son, asking me 10t to publish Mr. Watson’s letter until I heard rrom him; but that was be- fore I had received the letter. In the meantime Mr. Washburn went to Nashville, Tenn., on last Saturday foranother conference with Mr. Watson. 1 wired Mr. Washburn, who had just returned from Nash- ville, where he had had a second conference with Mr. Watson, that the letter had been re- ceived. Mr. Washburn wired me in reply, asking me not o publish the letter at presant. In the meantime I have wired to Mr, Wal urging the advisability of making at least one important change in his letter. 1f he author- izes this change 1 will give out the letter. Otherwise he must take the responsibility of publishing it himself. MARION BUTLEB. Cem i Watched at the Vatican. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 27.—The Pall Mall Gazette publishes a dispatch from its Rome correspondent, in which he says: The coming Presidential election in the United States is the absorbing topic at the Vatican, owing to the strides made by Catholicism in America, now one of the largest sources of income the church has. It has recognized that the standing dan- ger to Romanism in the United States is the independence of the American Bishops, notably since the death of Pius IX. The latter recognized that these Bishops enjoyed greater power than their prethren elsewhere, and he showed he ur- derstood this by his answer to some Eng- lish priests who asked for certain privi- leges. He said: *‘1am, as you say, Pope; yet I cannot grant your request. But I can show you a way to obtain your desire. Go to America, for there the Bishops are greater than the Pope.”” On the ascension of Pope Leo matters assumed a different aspect. He charged Mgr. Satolli with the d uty of intimating to the Bishops in un- mistakable language the limits of their powers and the resuit was something like a split, which it took Mgr. Satolli to heal. But his mission had good resuits. The correspondent adds that the Vati- can does not wish the clerzy in the United States to take part in the campaign, lest there should be a new division in the ranks and an outburst of intemperate political feeling on the part of the clergy.
