of operating a still. In the basement
of a house he formerly lived in was

the officers , who claim to have evidence
showing how and where he sold his
product.

Canton , Ohio , | Aug. 21. Two thou
sand farmers , mechanics and other cit
izens of Newcastle , Elwood and other
parts of Lawrence county , Pennsylva
nia , came here in special trains to-day
to call on Major McKinley. When
they had paraded to the McKinley
home , 6,000 people crowded over the
bare lawn and surged into the streets
around about Then it rained , but
bands played , thousands cheered , can
nons boomed and steam calliopes-
added their noises. The people stood
through the rain for an hour , waved
their banners and beat their tin hel
mets. They carried inscriptions : "Wo
want back the good old McKinley
times ; " "We want the furnaces , and
factories started , not the rich men's
silver mines ; " Honest money and a
chance to earn it" The presentation
was made by ex-Congressman Oscar
L. Jackson.
When Major McKinley mounted a
chair on his stoop to respond to the
sentiments of Colonel Jackson , cali-
opes , cannon , bauds and myraids of
"
human voices repeated their first ova
tion. He said : "I note with great
satisfaction the message which your
eloquent spokesman brings to me , that
the people of 1'ennsylvania have lost
none of their devotion to the great
principles of the Republican party and
that this year they will give to
the Republican national ticket
an unrivaled Republican majority.
( Cries of "We will do that all right ' " )
Nor am I surprised , my fellow citi
zens , that this is so. We have had
three years of bitter experience under
a policy which the Republican party
has always opposed and there has been
nothing in that experience to win us
to that policy , but everything to in
crease our devotion to the old policy
of protection which stands opposed
to .t
' My fellow citizens , the earnest
thought of the people this year is di
rected to the present condition of the
country and how best to improve it.
This is the thought of every mind and
is the prayer of every soul. Nobody
is satisfied with our unfortunate bus
iness condition and the great body of
the people want and mean to have a
change. What shall be the change ?
Shall it be the continuance of the pres
ent Democratic party uuder another
leadership a leadership advocating
all the policies of the Democratic
party which have been injurious to
the Amez-ican people and rejecting all
which are good , wholesome and pa
triotic , and which have received the
approval of the people of the country5 ?
The wing of the Democratic party
which controlled the Chicago conven
tion is just as much in favor of free
trade as the wing of the Democratic
party in control of the national ad
ministration. Most of those prominent
in that convention were conspicuous
leaders in the assault upon our indus
tries and labor made by the Fifty-third
Congress. They are devoted to this
un-American and destructive policy
and were chiefly instrumental in put
ting on the statute books tariff legis
lation which has destroyed American
manufacturing , checked our foreign
trade and reduced the demand for the
labor of American workingmen. It
stands opposgd to reciprocity , too , the
splendid results of which were so sig
nally manifest during the adminis
tration of President Harrison.
"The people of this country have
condemned the policies of this party
in these particulars in every election
since 189C. They are only waiting
now for a chance to register again ,
and all along the line , unitedly their
opposition to this free trade heresy in
the general election next November.
If there was , therefore , but one
question that of protection against
free trade we have it just
as sharply drawn and as distinct
ively presented through the Chicago
convention wing of the Democratic
partj * as we had it through the united
party in 1892 , and a triumph this year
for the Chicago platform would be a
signal victory for free trade and for
the continuance of free trade legisla
tion , which has already resulted so
disastrously to the American people
and entailed upon the government de
ficient revenues , upon the people
diminished trade abroad and starva
tion wages at home.
"This wing of the Democratic party
believes not only in free trade , but it
believes in free silver at a ratio of 16
to 1. ( Cries of 'Down with free sil
ver. ' ) Having diminished our busi
ness they now seek to diminish the
value of our money. Having cut
wages in two , they want to cut the
money in which wages are paid in
two , and we will not have either the
one or the other. The other wing of
the Democratic party is patriotically
striving for the public honor and is
opposed to free silver because it be
lieves that such a policy would disturb
existing values , contract the currency
of the country by depriving us of the
use of the gold and putting us on a
silver basis , thus creating widespread
panic and bringing to every American
interest serious injury. "

BRYAN MAKES DENIAL

lic League Association Ills Salary ai
Editor of ; he Omaha World-IIeratd.
Not Employed by SHvor Men.
Uppkb Red Hook , N. Y. , Aug. 2d.
Vf. J. Bryan last night gave out the
following statement regarding the
charge that he was in the employ of
the silver mine owners :
"I have already denied this charge
On several occasions , but the reitera
tion of it by Senator Thurston , a dis
tinguished resident of ray own state ,
justifies me in answering it again. I
have never at any time , or under any
circumstances , been in the employ of
any mine owners , individually or col
lectively , directly 05 indirectly , nor
have I ever been in the employ of , or
paid , by any Bimetallic League asso
ciation.
"Aside from my editorial salary of
about § 150 per month paid by the
Omaha World-Herald , and a small
amount derived from the legal pro
fession , my income since my retire
ment from Congress has been derived
entirely from lectures before Chatau-
qua.lyceum and lecture bureaus , which
have usually paid me a fixed sum , and
from contributions made by the people
ple of the localities where I have
spoken. In some instances I have re
ceived nothing at all. In most cases
I have received more than enough to
pay traveling expenses. In only two
instances , I think , has my compensa
tion exceeded S100 , and In these in
stances it wa about 200 at one place
and about S300 at the other.
"Having made this answer to Mr.
Thurston's letter , I shall hereafter
take no notice of individual or news
paper comment on the subject If
the Republican national committee
will say officially that I have ever
been employed to deliver speeches by
any mine owner , a group of mine
owners or by any association sup
ported by mine owners , I am ready to
make a statement showing in detail
all money received by me for speech-
making. "

, Washington , Aug. 20. The Popu
list committee had another long meet
ing last night , at which it was de
cided to locate the Populist head
quarters in this city. Senator Butler
and Secretary Edgerton will be in
charge. Mr. Butler is chairman of the
notification committee. He said he
had not called a meeting of the com
mittee. "It has not been the practice
of the People's party , " said he , "to
notifiy the candidates. Neither
Weaver nor Field were notified in
1892. " This is taken to mean that it
has been decided not to f < _ yilly
notify Bryafn or Waisca

MR. . COCKRAN REPLIES. 1
the Tammany Orator Scores Mr. Bryan' * ; " B
Speech. fH
New York , Aug. SO. The second no *
table demonstration in the political
campaign in New York city was held
last night under the auspices of the H
Democratic Honest Money League of
America , in Madison Square garden ,
where Hon. W. Bouruo Cockran addressed -
dressed an immense audience with a <
speech entitled , "In Opposition to jm
Repudiation. " !
Mr. Cockran had been selected to S
answer Candidate Bryan's speech bo * ,
cause of his opposition to the Chicago ' %
platform , ' and because of the reputation -
tion as an orator which ho had earned
by his participation in the tariff debates -
bates of two congresses , and by his Jfl
famous protest against the nomination % H
of Mr. Cleveland , delivered at day- MM
break in the convention of four years | M
Eighteen thousand seats had been lH
placed in the garden , and all of them | H
were filled when Mr. Cockran advanced - }
vanced to the front of the platform $
and was greeted by a tremendous | H
cheers.men climbing upon tbeir chairs | l
and waving little American Hags / .4BJ
which had been strewn through the !
hall. Three hearty cheers were given | H
for McKinley , and theie were hisses | H
when a gallery god yelled , "What's JH
the matter with Bryan ? " | H
Mr. Cockran arraigned the Chicago 1H
convention , the platform and Mr. & fl
Bryan's speech in unmeasured Ian * fl
guage. He declared that the DemoJfl
cratic party had been led into tha f fl
Populist camp and that it was the /II
/
duty of true Democrats to balk. He jJH
scored the income tax plank of the il
Chicago platform and called the II
supreme court criticism treason. Con- ifl
eluding he said : if H
"Stripped of all verbal disguise , it ?
is an issue of common honesty , an ' H
issue between the honest discharge H
and the dishonest repudiation of pub- . ] H
lie and private obligations. jBI
"This is a conspiracy between pro- < 3B _ <
Sessional farmers , who want to pay f - , H
low wages , and the unreconciled H
slaveholder , who would like to pay H
no wages at all. Here is the real root 'wj
of this conspiracy. Mr. Bryan did B
not create it. No man can create a M
movement like this. The forces that H
have created it are active and have . jH
betm worknng in a thousand different H
directions. Mr. Bryan , representing H
this theory , is but like a drop of H
water on the crest of the wave , more M
conspicuous , but no more important H
than the millions of drops that forms H
its base. The Populistic movement is M
the attempt of these professional H
farmers , of these men who are un'H
willing to share with the laborer , to H
appeal to their greed. They are an , H
enemy to public order ; they are an obstacle - | H
stacle to progress ; they are conspira- 'Ll
tors against the peace and prosperity ( H
of the industrial masses of the ' ' 'I
'
'
country. H
