And the valiant en who wore the blue and the no less iliant men who wore the gray naturally yme with us when we stand for the hon- ty of our people at home and against degradation of the flag abroad.” On the subject of Mr. Croker the Governor said: he an comes to this S r.

No. honest dollar; the party that stands for | keeping the flag hoisted in the Philip- | pines, as it shall be.” Governor Roosevelt then plunged into the issues of the campalgn, starting out with free silver and following the lines of his many addresses on this subject. He then touched the present prosper- ity of the country and how Mr. Bryan's prophecies regarding the gold stanaard had turned out to be wrong and con- demning him for raising a feeling of envy in the mihds of the working class against the capitalists. On this point he said: o greater evil, my fellow-countrymen, can be done in this nation of ours than to teach any group of Americans that their attitude should be one of sullen hatred and distrust to thelr fellows. That teach- ing means to nullify the work of a cen- tury and a quarter of statesmen who have b up their works here.

After appealing to the audience to sup- port the Republican policy, Governor Rocsevelt concluded by intrgducing ex- Senator Fa d in the following words: “It is not soldier alone mine that no man of Bryan's character or representing the disorder which he stands the for be President of nds of Democ United States. who believe in intenance of law and order, in hon- fin nd in the independence of the judic McKinley.

Only in that way will there ever be a chance of losipg the lib- erty that we have inherited from those who went before us.

Senator Bard said this evening to a Call representative: the indorsemient of a candidate for Collector of the Port of San Francisco has not been decided upon by Senator Perkins and myself; neither has it been mentioned in any manner for some time. I feel sure, however, that Senator Perkins will bring the matter up to-morrow, or next day at the furthest, when, 1 presume, a decision will be arrived at.” Indications are that some prominent business man of San Francisco who is not at the present time In the Federal service will be recommended to the President. n, demanding no more than his rights | | Spa B.

The day was a success- | ful one in that the crowds which he addressed were bolh attentive and of fair size, but the majority of them were neither so large nor as demonstrative as; {hose of New York. To-day was given up | {o a section of New Jersey which is pop-| ulated largely by pcople who do business in New York City. The tour was made over the Delaware aud Lackawanna Reilroad, the most dis- tant point touched ‘eting Dover, forty miles south of New York. 'The other towns at which speeclies were made were Hoboken, Harrison, Orange, Summit, Morristown, Boonetown, Paterson, Belle- | ville and Newark, three speeches being | made at the latter place, In reality Mr. | Bryan's Thursday work extended into the | | day, for he did not retire this morning | until about 2 o'clock #nd one of the most | pleasant occasions of last night was the | last of the serles.

Mr. | Bryan will make a brief run into Con- | necticut to-morrow, speaking at New | Haven and Bridgeport. and will return to participate in the meeting of the Demo- cratic clubs in New York City to-morrow | night. Mr. Bryan made the longest stop | of the day at Dover. He spoke at tha: | place for about an hour and addressed | a large crowd, which listened to him at. | tentively. He referred in this speech to criticisms of himself toithe effect that he | made charges for his campaign ‘speeches. On this subject he sail: | “According to the Republicans my farm | is not my only source of income. They | say that I am so avarcious that when I | am a candidate for President I will not | make @ speech unless 1 am pald several hundred dollars. They aiso say that I am so ambitious that I would spend ali [ have to be President. It is hard to recon- cile the two stories. If you are interested in knowing the facts I can tell you that T have been able to make a living under a Democratic administration and under Republican administrations and I think I shall be able to make a better living under a Republican administration’ than most of the Republicans who will be re- sponsible for the administration, but I want to tell you that every dollar that 1 have made in the last four years has been made out of the voluntary payment by ! people for what they bought and wanted. 1 published a book and nobody bought it unless he wanted to buy it. I have writ- ten articles for the 1ewspapers. Nobody read them unless he wanted to. I have! delivered lectures and nobody came un- | less he wanted to come. Every dollar | that 1 made has been made in that way. | But if 1 were the atlorney for a trust | and collected from a people who paid in- voluntarily I would be a good man in the eyes of the Repubiicans. I need not tell you that I recelve no money for cam- | paign specches. If the people of a commu- nity pay any money when I have a meet- | ing It is to meet expenses Of the meet- ing. In some cases people have paid the expenses of the train on which I travel as It goes from town to town. If any Re- publican complains of that you tell him that a man who rides on a train must either get a pass over the railroad or pay his fare and I would rather ‘the people would pay for the train and leave me in- dependent than to have the rallroad com- pany furnish it and then own me after the election.” Mr. Bryan dwelt at some length in his Dover speech on the trust question and in referring to the Standard Oil.Company sald that company is, through its power as a monopoly, extorting enough money from the people at large to pay annual divi- dends amounting to $50,00000 upon an original capital of $100,000,000.

Republicans come to the ‘soldier and tell him that the Republican party is the only protector of the soldler I want the soldier to remember that they do not pay big pensions whenever they get into a coun- try where they have a big standing army. Whenever this nation begins to rely upon a great standing army it will neglect the volunteers.

If a foreign nation should sena its fleet to attack us every one of you would be willing to take his gun and fight until the invader was driven out: but a foreign idea is invading us—an idea that will destroy the principles of government as we have understood those principles, an idea that will convert a republic into an empire.” Mr. Bryan spoke on general lines at Boonetown and his speech was well re- ceived.

He lives in London and the operat- | ing management of the road Is the fune- | tion of Mr. Hays, who lives in Montreal. Mr. Hays has handed in his resizna- tion from his position with the Grand Trunk, but will not assume his duties as president of the Southern Pacific until January 1. 1901 On May 16, 1556, Charles M. Hays was born in Rock Island, IIl. When only 17 years old he entered the service of the | Atlantic and Pacific Raliroad Company as a brakeman, it is sald. Four months after meeting this employment he was in- vested with a small clerkship In the office of the general superintendent of the road. Young Hays may have spent his spare moments in dreams of a glorfous career, but he certainly spent hls working hours in doing real work. He applied himself with all his energy to learning what he i could about the rallroad business.

There he It was an admirable post in which to get a thor- ough practical knowledge of railway man- agement. On April 1, 1584, he left the Missourt Pacific to become secretary to the gen- eral manager of the old Wabash, St Louis and Pacific road. Here his career of rapld advancement really seemed to set in. His application and grasp of rail- road problems won him golden opinion and a year and a half later, when only his way upward in the |in his thirtieth year, the clerk of com- paratively a brief time ago found him- self assistant general manager of the road. In this position his ability had of course a broader scope. The Wabash, St Louls and Pacific had been in the hands of a receiver since he had been in its service. In 1359 the system was split up. That part of it comprising lines west of the Mississippi became reorgan- ized Into the Wabash Western Railway Company, and the promoters of reorgani- zation had to choose a general manager. Young Mr. Hays had attracted atteation by the capacity shown in helping to man- age the old road, and the new place was given to him. He proved thoroughly ca- pable of it, and two years later, when the | 0ld system was reunited and the present Wabash Railroad Company came into existence, he became its general manager Chairman Charles H. Tweed of the Southern Pacific directorate said to-day that Mr. Hays would assume his new work at the beginning of the new year, with headquarters in San Francisco. e - . HAYS IS A HARD WORKER. With His Knowledge of Railroading He Will Improve the Service. The first information of Mmn Hays' se- | lection as president by the special com- mittee having the naming of Collis P. Huntington's successor was received in this city about 2 o’clock yesterday after- | noon. The word was quickly passed along the line and five minutes later it was the all-absorbing tople In the big yellow bullding on Montgomery street as well as in all the agency offices along Market street. ‘While the local officials of the Southern Pacific have not as yet.received any con- firmation of the report, still they take it for granted that the news is correct and Vice President Stubbs was frank to admit that' he had suspected that Xr. Hays would be the choice of the committee for several weeks past. “When Mr. Hays was first mentioned two or three weeks ago,” said Mr. Stubbs, *1 made up my mind that he could have the place if he wanted it. Notwithstand- ing all the speculation that has been rife since the death of Mr. Huntington, to- gother with the endless number of prob- able candidates who nave been mentioned. 1 think Mr. Hays Is the only man who has been offered the position.” The selection of Hays is a popular cholce with local railroad officlals. That the selection has been made purely on the strength of merit seems certain, as Hays was no one man’s candidate, nor was he | the chosen favorite >f any one or more directors or bondholders.in the company. It Is stated that the selection of Hays is unanimous with the directors, so that the confirmation of his name will be merely a matter of course. Mr. Hays' management of the Grand Trunk Rallway system has shown him to be a believer in a liberal policy for plac- ing a road upon the very highest plane of perfection. He would spare no expense to equip a road with every facility for quick transportation. The department of improvements, extensions, ete., of the Southern Pacific has always been oper- ated from the financial office of the com- pany in New York and the tendency has been to keep down the expenses of the department. Accordirg to an official of the company $1,000,000 or more could be advantageously expended in grading and extension work, and there is a strong feeling that one of the first moves of the new president will be to make some radi- cal changes in the present policy of this department.
