Clorkson and his body guard of comrades to
the Hoard of Trade building Mnny who had
attended tin- reception followed Iho handsome -
some rooms of the Commercial club wcie
occupied nud were no more than auHlclent
to hold the crowd which pouted Into them.
Some moments were spent In conversation ,
a feature of rampflros and then Master ol
Ceremonies Stone orico more called the gath-
crltiB to older and Introduced Major Clnrk-
Bon The major responded readily The
earlier prrt of his remarks were devoted to
the relation of various Incidents ho had ob
served during the national encampment Ho
described the encampment as a "scene of
patriotism " .
Continuing , ho said thnt he felt called
upon to acknowledge the treatment he had
received from his Nebraska comrades , who
had done everything they possibly could to
obtain the honor for 111 in and the state He
said that It was through their efforts and the
assistance of Ills personal friends from all
over the country that had brought the re
sult about Ho said It was i wonderful
thing to be selected by the delegates of o\er
300,000 Boldltrs , v.orn out In the service , as
their icprencntatlvo.
Colonel Stahl , the department commander
of New Jersey , was then Introduced by I > r
Stono. Ho said thnt he had Intended to
pass directly through the city on a trip
west , but hud concluded to remain In order
"to see how a good , honest soldier is re
ceived by the neighbors who Know him
best. " Ho spoke hi high praise of the
evidence of esteem that was shown the new
commandant In the big reception that had
been tendered him
Colonel Stahl remarked that ho knew of
no body of men In the XTnited States more
difficult to plcoso tlvan the representative
of the Grand Army of ! ! : o Republic Rach
and every one of them w < s a "kicker. "
They were most exacting in tt-elr demands
of the man who aspired to bo their chief.
First they Inquired what his record In the
war WOB If this \\as found to be satisfac
tory they then asked what he had done for
the Grand Army In the years since. If
this was to their liking thcj finally de
manded his reputation ns a cltben
KRI'T HACK 1JY MODESTY.
The speaker asserted that any man who
passed this examination satisfactorily was
certainly worthy to be clc\ated to the high
position. Ho congratulated the major in
having bo eminently satisfied all the require
ments. He said further , howe\er , that the
major was entitled to the olllce as much
by his modesty as his bravery and reputa
tion. "He might ha\o had the ollicc , " he
said , "two jcarn ago and then again a
ycarvago , but had withdrawti in favor of
others. "
Colonel Stnhl closed his remarks with
poisonal experiences of the many national
encampments he h.is attended
Adjutant General nurmelbter of the army
responded very briefly to call and the ic-
inarks of Judge Lee Kstello , who followed
him , were almost as shoit. The latter
maintained that Major Clarkion was a
worthy successor of the two great first
leaders of the army , Lincoln and Grant ,
and suld that ho would certainly rellcct
credit upon the men who had selected him.
Judge Strawn made a brief speech , In
which he urged that the letsons of patriotism
Bhould always bo presented to the children
& * > of the country , for although the present time
- Is one oVpeace , It la unknown how long It
will last. lie was particularly insistent that
no such loasoii could bo 'learned ' as by a visit
to the tomb of Grant.
The speaking was ended and the campflro
was closcjl with a little lunch , which had

CHICAGO , Sept. 7 The crowd gathered
at Sharpshooters park , the spot selected for
today's labor picnic , very slowly. At 1
o'clock there were probably not to exceed
1,000 people aiound the speaker's stand
Many of them were ladles After thnt time
there \\as n steady stream of people ( lowing
Into the grounds and the available places ,
wore boon occupied. At 2 30 a mighty shout
went up from the outskirts of the crowd , and
tliera was a great rush for the ear-
liago occupied b ) Mr. Bryan , which
had Just then arrived within the en
closure of the paik. Hundreds of
people pressed forward seeking to shake
Mr Bryan by the hand , and the passage
of tbe carriage through the crowd was
uomfwhat slow in consequence. He finally
reached the speakers stand , where ho was
received with piolonged applause. On the
stand were seated Judge McConnell , Judge
Prcutlhs and a largo number of representa
tive ? of the trades unions of Chicago. At
2-30 Mi. Bryan began bis speech , being In
troduced by 13dward Carroll , president of
the Building council , In n brief and appro
priate addiess.
Mr Bryan's topic was the Dignity of La
bor. " He began by extolling the value of or
ganizcd labor and showed how great had been
Us benefits to toilers His discourse soon
took on a political aspect ' "With Solomon , "
said Mr Bryan "I want neither richer 1101
poverty , and with Carlisle I want the rulers
to win n new wisdom in thc > conduct of af
fairs. " Ho told his hearers that he believes
In the principal of arbitration and though' '
that society had a right to demand that labor
disputes bo submitted to arbitration. He
also gloried in the freedom of American In
stitutions which enabled the woikingman
to express bis convictions at the ballot box
and in conclusion ho said

MORRISON ; 111 cpt. 7 Senator Henry
M. Teller delivered his first speech in this
place today The crowd that assembled was
variously estimated at from 2,000 to 3,0i > i
people. This Is the former homo of Sena
tor Teller. Ho came to Morrison from New
York In 1858 and formed a law partneishlp
with Mr. H. H. Jackson , which continued
until Anrll , IBfil , when ho went to Colo-
rado. IPs mother lives hero with four
Hlstcis and a brother These are the
reasoijR why the senator selected his old
homo as the place for his speech , IIo leaves
hoio tomorrow morning for Chicago , where
ho will gpend the day with the executive
committee of the democratic party IIo will
then go to Grand Rapids , Mich , where he
is announced to speak on Wednesday Sen
ator Teller was greeted with warm cheers
upon his appearance. He said1
I have been n student of financial ques
tions c\fi Blnro I huve been In public life
and that U almost within a few weeks of

the American people mo called upon now

any other question that has over been sub
mitted to Amei leans for their considera
tion and ilotc-rmlimlion. It Is u question not
to bo determined by pcisonal attacks upon
these who advocate It ; not by eluis , not
by Blander , not by abuse. Somebody-
some newspaper may tell you that I am nn
aiicnt of the gtcat sliver producing people
of this country ; that I am directly
and personally Interested In the
production of silver. Some of
you have boon my neighbors : many of you

been conneete > d with go'd mining for thirty'
live yeais nnd If I had any personal Inter

Senator Teller then told tils heaters thil
the country was In greater distress tcdav
than It had ever been In Its history , am1
that the same conditions existed In tvo
country that had attemptrd to maintain t
gold standard He tiuotcd fiom the repbrt ol
six members of the Biillsh rojal commission
of 1SSC , who reported that thu distress was
due to the gold standard. Ho continued.
I want to challenge the statement that l
being repeated from day to day , th it we
had prosperity In 1'H tnnt we had It In
isvi , ur that we had It In IMiO nnd IHfj. In
1ST ! the A met loin silver tlnllni was stricken
out of the llflt of American coins. I du
not togird It ns of the -OlglitcM. cone -
( tupiiee to the American people how It vvn.s
done The fact existed that It was done
and the evil vvlileh followed , in my Judg
ment , Is too nparent to be denied I Know
one thing In leforcnco to the demonetiza
tion of the American sllvc'r dollar. I know
that no newspipi'r editor t'levlous ' tl > 1S71
had ever written an nrtlrlo In defense ol
the single gold standard. 1 know that
no American newspaper had over advo
cated the demonetisation of silver.
I am well satisfied of atiothet fact , and
tlmt Is that tlio American ilolhr was
Htrlcketi out of llio list of American coins
by ttiroo concerted agencies Some power ,
some IIBOIICV , knowing what the effect
would he upon the commerce nnd trade ,
1-nowlng that the de'.siructlott of the siivei
dollar would double all the credit moneys ,
all the bonds and all the securities of that
klml In thN country , stood hack of It and
engine eied it and secured Its ptssagc.
Senator Teller then declared the gold
dollar had appreciated in vnJuc and main
tained that relief could bo had only In the
free coinage of silver. The senator closed his
addresi in the following words-
I want lo say to jou today thai I am ti

The Hlttner Theater company opened r
fortnight's engagement at Boyd's vcsterdaj
with two performance's , the matinee bll
being ' Uncle Dan'l" and the evening nttrac.
Hon Edwin Milton Royle's ' excellent plaj
"Friends " Mr. Blttnur's company has
started out with the stimulus ot heavy bust
ness , Ihe house at night having been espo
dally large. He has engaged some people
of fair ability , who should succeed on tin
whole In giving performances sallsfactoij
to the audiences which will hear thorn
although it must bo said that the entertain
incut provided yesterday was of a giade
betler suiled lo the demands of the iuia !
circuit than to those ot a city of Omaha'-
metropolitan pretensions.
Any company which corner plajlnj ;
"Friends" must challenge comparison wltl
the fine poiformances ot Mr. Rojlo and his
people , who first made llio piece known te
Omaha Ihcalcr-goers. That the pet formnnce
last night seemed lo give pleasuio may bt
accepted as evidence that thu audience has
not been familiar with that original produc
tion Conceive a diama In which music
plajs a nicdomlnant part , and which yet
piesents tbe spectacle of a pianist and lead
ing man who Is unfamiliar with the plane
and a leading woman who , In the character
of the grcalest soprano of her time , slnga
so badly lhat the crops are noticeably 10-
laided. Ono realizes that too much ought
not to be expected In the premises , but Miss
Choate , who has a very agreeable speaking
voice and an uncommonly clear enunciation ,
positively should not sing , or should faint
during the Hist bar of "Good-bj , " when her
deplorable lapses from the key would bo
less poignantly apparent.
Coitaln name" ? are included In the cast of
"Unclo Dan'l" vvliose owners were believed
to bo elsewhere , Mr. Humphrey not having
Leon known to have emitted "Northern
Lights , , " nor Mr. Ben Johnson to have relin
quished his engagement for this season w Ith
Mansfield ; and the introduction of the iinmc
of the former manager of "Friends" as a
character in * another play to be given later
in tbe week is , to say the least , in ques
tionable taste. As to the Interpolation of
specialties In a play like "Friends , " one
makes bold to express the hope that vvhen
Mr Blttner pioduces "Hamlet" he will uot
make a modern roof garden of the court at
LMslnore
The local management announces that the
free tickets having been exhausted at 7
o'clock last night the e oittslandlng will he
honoied at Ihe box office this evening until
the supply runs out which will necessitate
early application this morning. "Unclo

of which have enjoyed long luns In New

most attractive of ills many brilliant pro
ductions.
Tlio characters In its casl nio lyplcal vaga

of fact all tlio clmiaclers In this play had
their prototypes In real life , the hero for
Instance , being the author of the piece him
self , and the heroine Is composite of the
various women with whom ho bad fallen In
love In "Tho Benefit of the Doubt" the
Inevitable keen-edged satire of Plncro flashes
brilliantly. The play concerns a young
wife whom the Judge lias given tlio benefit
of tlio doubt In a suit for separation 'ilio
various ways the benefit affects her relatives
