and to the fnrmc-ra the best home market
that c.in bo found anywhere In the world ,
( dront cheering ) Hut , my fellow citizens ,
this Is not my dny to make n jipe-ech. Them
nro orators who will speak to you anil I
only como now that I may malto it suitable
recognition of this frlemlly cull on the part
of my old friends nnd constituents who
linve for fa many years manifested their
devotion to the republican enuso and to me
rcrsonally. ( Applause. )
At noon the hustle and 'hurry of par do
organization began , tno parade moved In
four divisions of footmen , nnrl , with a large
contingent of wheelmen and horsemen.
Pennsylvania , West Virginia and other states
formed the. first division : Ohio , outside of
Stark county , the second ; Stnrk county ,
outside of Canton , the third , nnd Canton the
fourth. .Each of the delegations was as-
Rlgncil a position of honor. Major Mc-
Klnley , the visiting speakers , the otllccrs of
the day and gucnts of honor rode In open
carriages at the head of the parade. A
nhort line of march brought the parade tea
a monster tent with accommodations for 20-
000 people. Hero the flr t meeting was held ,
Governor llushncll presiding , nnd making a
short Introductory address. Among other
things ho said :
1IU8HNHLL ON THI3 OPKNINO.
My Fellow Citizens : The formal opening
of the rejillblleiiu eiilnpalKii In this great
nnd loyal republican state of Ohio oc
curred In tin' city of Columbus , Aimuwt 15.
The vaM crowd that assembled on thut dav
heard words of eloquence anil of Bound and
convincing arguments uttered by ouch men
HH John Hhcrmnn , Joseph I ! . Forakor and
Htwwnrt Woodford of New York , each ono
n master , and ns republicans the peer of
nny of that political faith. Thin splendid
meeting today , therefore , cnnnot be culled
n campaign opening. As a matter of fnct
that which was formally declared to be
Filch and which was held at Columbus was
Tiot mi opening. The campaign opened
months ago when It became a certainty
who the lender of the republicans would
lie. Kven beyond tbnt time It was opened ,
for In the depressing years of this demo
cratic administration there have been many
political events which might bn well desig
nated as openings of the presldontliil cam-
imlKti of 1XM. Slneo the St. LouH conven
tion the people of the country have not
waited for the arrangements of thulr man
agers , but have opened the campaign on
their own account ; each stump has been
the rostrum for clonupnce and around them
.have gathered crowds great ami small.
Hut this meeting today has lieiui Inspired
1 > y the Idea of Instituting a pllurlmage to
the republican rtirlnu. It Is really a ratifi
cation of the many triumphs that have
bcun achieved by the republican candidate
lnco ho begun receiving those who call to
congratulate him anil themselves upon the
"work of the republicans In their national
convention. I nin mire that all of u.i can
say that wo nro glad to be so near our
candidate and to contribute a little more to
tbo busy political llfo of this citizen of
Canton. I need not call your attention to
the seeming unanimity whleh hns met
this Idea of making tbo .pilgrimage to tills
city. Tim vast numbers of republicans
v.'ho have gathered hero today speak for
that point.
Before the parade dozens of delegations ,
headed by their hands , inarched to Major
JIcKinley'B residence. Among ihoso to
whom ho spoke were the Columbian. ! county ,
Ohio , delegation , the Plttsbui- , ? delegation ,
headed by the AmerlcuH nnd Tnrlff clubs
and the Columbus lluckeye club acting as
escort to Governor Hushncll and Supreme
Judge Shauck. Major McKlnlcy thanked
the members of the different delegations
most cordially for their visits.
Following the governor's speech there was
music by the combined bands and campaign
songs by the Plttsburg tariff league
< juartet and the Aeolian quartet. Ad
dresses were made by Senator Cullom of
Illinois and Thurston of Nebraska.
Senator Cullom , after a lengthy discussion
of the tariff question , took up the money
Issue , saying In part :
"Mr. Altgeld and other democratic lead-
crs say the present dollar Is n 200-cent
dollar , whllo the dollar of 1S73 was a 100-
cent dollar. In the first place , the state
ment la not correct , but If it were , which
would you rather lidve , n dollar worth 200
or a dollar worth 50 cents ? They say no
body ever saw a EO-cent dollar. Nobody
ever saw an American dollar tn coin that
would not circulate anywhere In this
country and in many foreign countries at
Its nominal value.
FORTY-FOUR PER CAPITA.
"Suppose It Is true that our dollars arc
200-ccnt.dollars. How many of these have
wo iu circulation ? According to the last
true statement , wo have more than $1,500-
000,000 , consisting of gold , silver and paper ,
one dollar just as good as another , a per
capita circulation of nearly $22. If Bryan ,
Altgcld nnd their nssoclatcs arc right , then
our money In circulation Is equal to $3,001)- )
000,000 , or about $14 per capita. As their
platform only calls for $50 per capita , they
ought to be satisfied with ? ! ! . Let us sec
-what would happen iu the event of the
success of the nominees of the Chicago con-
yentlon. Our gold would leave us , or be
hoarded that would mean a contraction
of $800,000,000. The remainder of our
money would shrink lu purchasing power
> qual to tbo difference between the par
value of the dollar and the bullion price of
silver. The difference Is now abuut 47
cents. So that our circulation would bi
oontraotcd to that extent , and we would have
less than $0 per capita In circulation o (
actual money , whcro we now have $22. BI- .
Bryan says we would , no doubt , have .a
panic at first ( after the adoption of free
coinage. ) Ho admits that much. Ho docs
not say whether It will bo Just a lltttu wuvt
which will wet the toes and Hcare the
timorous , or whether It will be a tidal wave
which will engulf the nation.
"Wo are not children In experience. We
had our lingers burned four years ago and
our fingers are still sore from the burns.
William J. Bryan told us that free trade
was just what wo needed ; that our troubles
were all due to the tariff. He now tells us
that wo must have free silver ; that It will
bo a crlnio against humanity to longer re
fuse It ; that all mankind has been suffering
untold misery since 1873 on account of the
demonetization of silver. You know better.
Will you tuko his advice again ? I do not
think you will.
"There Is no use deceiving ourselves In
dealing with this question. Wo have more
gold and moro silver than wo ever had
before , nnd altogether more circulating me
dium than wo over had before , and we have
no money that Is not at par with gold ,
which Is the recognized money of tbo com
mercial world. Let us not run off after
iiinonshluu theories pressed upon us by
Ilryan , Tlllnmn , Altgeld apd others who
nro urging the people of this country to
adopt this policy or try an experiment in
defiance of the facts nf history nnd oppo
sition to tbo judgment of the wishes ot the
friends of silver In the world.
"The republican party is for bimetallism.
It believes In the use of both gold and silver
as money. It believes In the admission of
both to the mints of tins United States on
equal terms as soim an It can be done with
safety and honor. Our party Is pli'driwd to
It In the St. Louis platform. '

and they tell the laborer nt the amo time
that ho will have more work 'and higher
wages. All history shows that the price
of labor Is the flrnt to gf > down and the/ last
to go tip. The democrats propose In some
mysterious way to suspend the law of sup
ply ami demand. There Is not thn slightest
doubt that the unlimited free coinage of
silver In this country would bring down
wagj.i. Atid that Is what many men who
favor free trade and free coinage want.
"One of the dangers of this country Is
the reduction of wages. It will be a sad
day when the wages of the laborer In the
United States shall be reduced to the level
of those of China. Japan and Mexico. When
the tlmo conies , we might control the mar
kets of the world , but it would be nt the
expense of our republican government aud
of our civilization. When the wage-earner
Is pauperized in this country the power nnd
glory of our government will have departed.
"Whenever hard times have roine upon
the country there have always been men.
calling themcelves by some party name , who
tried to ride Into power on the misery and
discontent of their countrymen. Hut. thank
God. they have always failed , and will fall
again.
"Four years ngo the democratic party was
successful on the tariff issue. What fol
lowed U familiar to you nil hard times ,
misery , and distress , such nst * never ex
perienced before by this generation. Two
years ago the country aga'n turned to liu
republican party for relief. The great
majority they sent to the house of repre
sentatives was powerless to afford rell.-f.
Why ? Hecause the silver trust , led by thu
senators from silver states , was strong
enough In the senate to bind that body
hand nnd foot , and absolutely refused to
permit any bill affording more revenue for
the support of the government to pass unless
It contained a free coinage amendment.
They were willing to allow the : ountry to go
to universal bankruptcy , and even revolu
tion Itself , to accomplish their ends. It la
but a repetition of what was attempted
ulnhteen years ago , under the Icatlerttilp
of some of the men who are now at the he.id
of the silver conspiracy. They thrcatentd
to "starve" the government to death unl s
they were allowed to repeal certain laws
which were obnoxious to them. Did the
country approve of their action ?
"The election returns answer the r.ue- :
tlou. 1 believe the Intention of the preset1 !
conspirators to starve the country Into
free and unlimited coinage will as signally
fall. They tell us that we need more money ;
that the Inflation of the currency , such
as would follow the free colnace of silver ,
vould result In higher prices for all tlie
products of the farm , etc.
"Such has always been the cry of men wlio
desired to obtain something for nothing. "
SENATOR THUHSTON SI'KAKS.
Senator Thurston , on being Introduced by
Governor Hushncll , said :
"My Fellow Citizens : I am glad to meet
you hero at the homo of that Illustrious
American , our nominee for president. Wil
liam McKlnley. Urave In war ; eminent In
statesmanship , the best living exponent of
those American policies which Insure na
tional and Individual prosperity , It yet re
mained for the crucible of a presidential
candidacy to test the fine gold of his grand
character. War proved his soldiery qual
ities ; a quarter of a century of legislative
anil political contention developed , strength
ened nnd disclosed his wisdom , patriotism
and leadership. Uut now for the first tlnio
his countrymen ran read and so understand
the swe < ? t , simple , sublime soul and char
acter of the man. And , fellow citizens ,
what a contrast Is there between the two
candidates now presented for your suffrage.
One nominated amid the excitement and
hysteria of emotional frenzy , a triumph of
prearranged spectacular and oratorical red
fire : a nomination not thought of an hour
before and regretted an hour after ; the
other nominated In obedience- the ripened
and deliberate demand of the people them
selves. whose spontaneous uprising in his
behalf attested and emphasized their belief
in the principles for which he stands , and
their sincere confidence in the ability. In
tegrity , patriotism and statesmanship of the
man. One notified in accordance
with his request , In that great show garden
of New York City , designed expressly for
circuses , menageries , horse fairs , dog shows
and chrysanthemum exhibitions , amid the
blare of trumpets , the glare of electric lights
and the incessant tramp of disappearing
hosts ; the other , at his own humble fireside
In an unostentatious manner , the simple
ceremonies witnessed only by his family and
Immediate friends. One now steeple-chasing
through the country In n mod scramble for
place and power , fearful that some elector
may escape the witchery of his silver-fluted
voice. The other dignified , as befits the ex
alted place to which ho worthily aspires ,
trustfully and calmly waits In his own home
while the nation comes to him. One has
selected for bin arena the sand lots his
appeals are to the passions and prejudices of
men. The forum of the other is an Ameri
can dnoryard , his rostrum is the porch of
an American cottage ; his words , simple and
forceful , are addressed to the Intelligence ,
the conscience , the patriotism and the com
mon sense of a brave , thoughtful , just and
hopeful people.
"My countrymen , these comparisons are
not unjust , nor nro they overdrawn. They
measure the Infinite distance between the
party and the platform of Altgeld , Tlllman ,
Pcnnoyor , Llewellyn , Wultc , Coxey and
Ilryan and the party and platform of Harrison
risen , Allison , Heed and McKlnley. "
Senator Thuruton said ho came today In
spired not only by the hope , but by the
knowledge , of certain republican victory , and
on this theme spoke of his visit to Vermont
and the Vermont elections , of the situation
as he had personally observed It In Maine
and other states , and of the reports that
ramo to him of the situation. On populism he
said It has had Its day ; that It had no higher
mission than that of exciting the envy ami
Jealousy and prejudice of those whoso lots
are humbly cast. Hut It could not live.
Ho then entered upon an exhaustive discus
sion of the currency question , considering at
length each of the issues raised in the pres
ent contest.
THimSTON AS SUBSTITUTE.
As the great , parade passed the McKinley
homo tonight .Major and Mrs. McKlnley.
Senator Thurston aud wife. Mrs. Marshal
Harbor , Mm. Ilelshstand , Mr. George H.
Freeazo and Miss Mary Uarber occupied an
Improvised reviewing stand In the front
yard. Ten thousand people crowded about.
and when thu long line of marchers passed
the crowd cried "MoKlnloy. " The major
said : "I will not undertake to make any
speech , but I will do what Is very much
better. I will pic'tent to you ono of the
most dlstlnguhdicd United States senators ,
whose voice has been hoard already In so
many nf the states of the union this year
and will be hoard In more. It Is my very
great pleasure to present to this audience
for a few inlnutt'R , Senator Thurston of Ne
braska. " ( Continued cheering. )
The Nebratka senator then addressed the
enthusiastic multitude .
After the Illuminated parade this even
ing , another meeting was held under the
big tent , which was filled lone before ell
who sought admission were accommodated.
The evening meeting was presided over by
Congressman It. W. Taylor. There were
vocal and Instrumental musical nelectlons
and two uddrcHgcg. Governor Hastings of
Pennsylvania was given a grand ovation.
Congressman J. T. McCleary of Minnesota
followed Governor Huntings. Ho addressed
himself particularly to the farmers , but
dealt with the campaign issues as they con
cern all classes. He spoke of the campaign
of the opposition as a campaign of abandon
ment ; they have practically abandoned
their pet theory of free trade. The popu
lists by declaring in their platform that
the currency question Is the only 0110 of Im
portance practically admit that the other
twenty planks of their Omaha platform arc
abandoned. Ho then considered at Rome
length the proposition of appreciation in
gold or decline In silver , and reviewed the
prices of farm products , comparing them
with money metal prices. He closed with a
discussion of the tariff proposition and an
earnest appeal for support of the republican
ticket.
CHICAOO. Sept. 18. Eleven trains , carry

UICHMOND. Vn. , Sept. 18. Mr. Hryan
passed the night In his private car on a
SlriTtrnck near ( Joldsborough , N. CV At 0
o'clock this morning he spoke to a largo
crowd , which had been In waiting for him
at that place for several hours. Ho was
escorted by the Ooldsbofough Hlflcs. In his
speech he said :
Ladles ami Gentlemen : In this campaign
wo are lighting together Instead uf llftht-
IIIK among ourselves. I remember a few
vears ago a populist In congress said that
down In South America there- ran wild
upon the | , ralrlos small burrow that n
time of danger , when attacked by wild
animals , would get together , putting their
beads together ami their feet on the out
side so they foimed a circle with their
heels and kicked the enemy , but he said
It was often the case that the advocates
of various leforms would put their beads
on the outside and kick each other.
( Laughter. ) It bus been often the case
that those who were fighting for reform
because they could not npree entirely
would Interfere with each other ami each
attempt to offset the other's work. In
this campaign those favoring the free coin
age of silver have Joined together regard-
lu s of opinions upon other subjectn.
Democrats who believe In turlft reform
and republicans who believe In protection
are able to get together when both recog
nize that the money question Is superior
to the simple support of the tariff ques
tion. ( Applause. ) A populist leader in this
state well expressed the Idea when ho said
that while he believed In populist doc
trines , yet hi- was willing to lay some of
them aside until he could pet otlurH. J or
Instance , be said while be believed In the
1-overnment ownership of railroads he did
not \\ant the government to own the rail
roads as long us the Uothsehllrts owned
the povertitnent. ( Orent npphuihc. ) H is
this willingness to lay aside minor illlTer-
enceB In hours of danger that character
izes our people and gives the surest proof
that they an- able to rise to the require
ments of any emergency.
NOT A SECTIONAL ISSt'IC.
Sometimes they license us of raising a
sertlonul Issue. One of the best evidences
that the platform adopted lit Chicago does
not raise a sectional Issue Is found lu the
langunge of the platform adopted yester
day In New York. Let me explnln to you.
After unreservedly endorsing the platform
and the candldaU-a of the Chicago conven
tion , the platform declares as Its di-llbcr-
ute judgment that never In the history
of the democratic party bus a platform
been written which embodies more com
pletely the Interests of the whole people
as distinguished from those who seek leg
islation for private benefits than that given
to the country by the national convention
of IMlfi. ( Applause. ) There within the
shiuloxr of Wall street , though against the
combined opposition of those once b-adhii ?
democrats of New York who have left
the democratic party and either gone over
to the icpiihllcnns or stopped for a moment
at the half-way house , the democracy of
New York declares the platform adopted
at Chicago is tin- most democratic plat
form ever put before the country by a
democratic convention. ( Applause. ) In the
state of Connecticut they have also en
dorsed our platform and likewise In Penn
sylvania nnd New Jersey. In these and
other eastern states the democracy Is begin
ning to realize that the Chicago platform
presents to the American people these
Br ° n.t Irenes around which the people
must cluster If they are going to retain
a government of , by and for the people.
The Chicago platform contained u plank
expressing- dcslro for an Income.tax , not
saylmr that we are going to Ignore the
decision of the supreme court , but that an
Income tax should be obtained and enforced
so far as * the decision of the court would
permit , nnd that we would abide by the
principles till a future court , exercising the
same right to reverse the decision recpntly
given that the present exercised in over
throwing the precedent of n hundred years
should KO. back to the doctrine we used to
hnve nnd declare that under the constitu
tion It Is possible to make those w.ho have
large Incomes pay their share ot the ex
penses of the government. ( Applause. ) In
my judgment the Income tax Is juat. It Is
not war noon property , but It Is a demand
that those who have property and who de
mand the protection of the property by
federal laws should be willingto support
the government to which they look for that
protection and not seek to use the Instru
mentalities of government for their own
benefit and then throw the burden of sup
porting thnt government on the backs of
those not able to tupport It. ( Applause. )
aiONKV QPKSTJON PARAMOUNT.
The three parties which have joined in
my nomination agree that while there are
other Issues before the people , aside from
the money question , yet the money question
rises paramount to them all and must be
settled first. Other questions can wait , the
money question cannot. It has been forced
upon public attention. It hns been broupht
before the people nnd we have to decide
whether we shall continue the present
financial system wherein a few men have
undertaken to run the government or shall
put the financial policy of the American
people In the hands of the American people
ple to be framed by them and for them
from now on. ( Applause. ) I never lose an
opportunity to Impress upon the people the
Importance of this question to every citi
zen. The republican platform decl.ares that
wo must maintain our present financial
policy , not until we get tired , but until
foreign nations get tired of It and consent
for us to abandon It. To my mind no more
infamous proposition was ever endorsed
by any party and I cannot believe as 1
look Into the faces of tens of thousands of
fteo Americans throughout nil these states
that they are willing to trust the destinies
of the people In the hands of foreigners
whom we can only reach by petition. ( Ap
plause. ) The republican party had a crrent
opportunity before It. Hern was a demo
cratic administration whleh was being op-
p&sed by a largo part of the democratic
party and it is a much more difficult thins
for a man to oppose wrong In his own
party than It his opponents. Hern were
democrats willing to array themselves In
opposition to the policy of the president ,
not because they loved the president less ,
but because they loved the people Infinitely
more. ( Applause. ) When the republicans
assembled In St. T-ouls If they had opnosed
tbo president's financial policy nnd de
clared thnt they would restore the money
of the constitution and the democratic
party had endorsed the administration. Mie
republican party would have Hwe.it the
democratic party out of existence. Hut
what did they do ? When they met they
were controlled In their deliberations by
the same people who hhd controlled the
financial policy of this administration nnd
they wrote a platform whleh would per
petuate the same financial policy from
which wo are suffering. These same in
fluences , after dominating the St. Louis
convention , attempted to dominate the Chicago
cage convention and write a platform so
much like the republican platform on the
money question that If the two had been
rend to you , you could not have picked
which was which. Hut at last wo got an
Issue. The democratic prtrty. by hcplnnlnx
at the ground nnd working up , Instead of
commencing nt the top nnd working down ,
by commencing with the voters , Inslnad of
commencing with tbo bossn's , secured n
platform which breathes the spirit of the
Declaration of Independence nnd gives In
spiration to the tolling millions of the
United State * .
HIS PLATFOHM IIRPUHLICAN.
It Is not strange that tens and hundreds
of thousand. ? have deserted the republican
party. Not a dny pusses but J meet repub
licans who tell mo they voted for Abra
ham Lincoln nnd voted the republican
ticket ever since , but that they find more
of the republicanism of early days In the
democratic platform than they can find
In the republican platform of this year
They nay there Is moro there to glvo them
hope of maintenance of free Institu
tions than they can find In the republican
platform. They are not willing to trust
foreign nations to do for tha American people
plewhat the republican party refuses to
do. ( Applause. )
We are sometimes accused of using ex
travagant language , but wo do not have
to use extravagant language. Whenever
wo want to bo very emphatic wo turn back
to the utterances of men like Carlisle , who
are now vtorshlpliiK the KOlden calf , und
use thulr language to show what emphasis
was before their hearts were turned from
the people to Wall street. ( Applause. )
If we hnve the universal kold stand
ard It mentis Unit thu annual supply of
money given to all the people of the world
must bo drawn from our gold minus each
year , and not all of that can go to the
mints , because of the great bulk of It used
In the urtu. The gold used in the arts is
Increasing every > rir and we shall reach
a time. In fact some InuUt thnt that time
Is already reached , when the total amount
of gold produced every year will be needed
for the arts and leave no annual product
to keep up with the demand for money.
Our opponents talk as If wo could get
along with I MB and less money ns the years
to by Now , if population und hutdnctoi
und prosperity Increase , don't you suppose
bunk tlilpo lt8 will Increase also. What ure

ON fUE ilDVB AGAIN.
After leaving aoldshorough Mr. Ilryan ad
dressed brlelly n large crowd assembled nt
Wilson , N. G. Arriving nt llocky Mount ,
N. C. . ho was met by n procession with
the ever-present country bnud at Its heail
and escorted to the fair grounds. There
ho addressid another largo crowd. At
Weldon the candidate made n three-minute
speech from the car platform.
Virginia was Invaded at Kmporla , where
the nominee told the people be was glad
lo meet the citizens of the state In which
his father was born. At Petersburg , Mr.
Bryan spoke five minutes to an enthusiastic
crowd filling the public square. A reception
committee from Hlchmond met the nominee
nnd his party at this point. At Manchester
another short stop was made nnd then the
train pulled across the river Into Hlchmond ,
whcro a great crowd had gathered at the
depot nnd gave the candidate an enthusiastic
reception. Mr. Hryan was driven at once
to the resldenco of the state chairman , Mr.
Ellison , where he dined and afterwards
ho was driven to the Auditorium , where he
spoke this evening.
William .1. Dryau's reception at the Audi
torium in Hlchmond tonight was one of the
most enthusiastic receptions of his cam
palgn. The Auditorium was packed to the
doors and from floor to gallery when the
democratic nominee arrived there at 8-Hi. :
Some other meetings have been greater In
point of attendance , but Richmond must
c given the banner for the amount of
enthusiasm expressed. Ten minutes elapsed
before the cheering that followed Mr.
Uryan's entrance ceased and there was an
other outburst when he was presented by
Senator Daniel. There was much disorder
during Mr. Uryan's delivery , but ho managed
to make himself heard to nearly everybody.
On the conclusion of the Auditorium speech
ho addressed a great throng from the bal
cony of the Jefferson house , where he Is
stopping. His speech here was short and
on iho general lines pursued by him In his
other speeches. The nominee began his
Auditorium speech by commenting upon the
enthusiasm shown -by the populace. Then
after paying eloquent tribute to the ability
and worth of Senator Daniel , he said :
HIS NOMINATION UEGULAU.
I am the nominee of three conventions ,
but I do not uppeal to the votes of any
man on the ground thnt I am nominated
by hi" party. 1 have a higher claim to
your suffrages than party ties can give
me. I appeal to you as the only candlJntc
to the presidency who believes that the
American people' can have a financial
policy of their own. ( Applause. ) If t'nerc
is a man who respects p'irty regularity be
cannot complain of the manner of my nomi
nation. The democratic convention whleh
met at Chicago represented the voters of
the democratic party more truly , more com
pletely than nny-bonvcntlon which has been
held In recent ynrs. Thnt convention V.MR
regularly callcdiby the legular authorities
and dclcRiiJes wore chosen lu every state
In the regular manner. Hut with all this
claim to regularity I do not ask a single
democrat to vote for my candidacy If he
believes In Ids- heart that my election
would Injure the country. To me a party
Is only a ; nenns to an end. Hut I shall
not feel unkindly toward any democrat
who honestly and conscientiously puts his
country above p'drty and votes against im-
If he believes our success would bring dis
aster to tnir common country. Hut , my
friends , I , want the man who leaves the
democratic party to find his reason in his
head or In his heart and not In his pocket-
book. ( Great applause. ) How c.in you tell
whether a hiuil Is honest when he tells you
the election of the Chicago ticket would
Injure his country ? I will give you a way
to tell. Any man .who thinks my election
.wpuld' Injure this country can prove H In
Just one way and that Is by voting for the
republican piitldldato to niake sure of my
defeat.1 ( Cheers. ) Don't toll us your con
science would not. permit yoif to vote the
democratic tiuUet rind then vote for a Ivolt-
lusr ticket. The bible tells us of the man
who hid his talent In the earth and who
was condemned because he neglected to
Improve his opportunity. I want to say to
you the ballot Is given to the citizen as : i
sacred trust to bo u-0'l according to his
judgment and his conscience and thnt no
man In the hour of peril hns a moral rlcht
to throw his vote away. ( Applause. ) Why
Is It that some democrats or some people
who used to be democrats spend the days In
telling how the election of the Chicago
ticket would ruin this country and then ie-
fuse to oust their votes for the only man
who can defeat the Chicago nornlm-p
( Applause. ) 1 will tell you why. It Is
because they have not the courage to bear
the odium of being republicans. ( Great
applause. ) We are engaged In a great
struggle , one of the greatest struggles In
which the people of this country were
over engaged In time of pence. It Is a
struirgje between democracy on the one
side nnd plutocracy on the other , nnd then-
Is no middle ground for any man to stand
upon. ( Great applause. ) They who are not
for us are nqnlnst us. Wo would have
moro respect for them If they were honest
enough to go where they belong. ( Ap
plause. ) Now. ns I have said , we appeal
to no man to net contrary to his Judg
ment , but I wnnt to warn you who are
contemplating desertion from the demo
cratic party that the man who in the face
of such an enemy either goes to the rear
or Is found In secret conference with
the enemy Is n traitor upon whom the
brand shall be placed and ho shall not
come back again. ( Great applause. )
These assistant republicans , whose hearts
are willing but whose flesh Is weak-
daughter ) , may us well understand now
that the contest In which wo are engaged
is not n contest for this year alone 1
believe we shall win now. lint whether
wo win now or not , we have begun a war
fare against the gold standard which shall
continue until the gold standard IH driven
from our shores back to England. ( Ap
plause ) We hnvo been opposed to the
Importation of criminals nnd paupers from
abroad nnd we- shall oppose the Importation
of a financial system which Is crimlnnl
and which makes paupers wherever it
goes.
niUNOS GOLD IN.
The nominee then entered into n compari
son of the republican and democratic plat
form on the.line of many of his previous
utterances. Ho insisted
that thu Issue was
clear cut nnd that the honest voter must
decide between the democratic und the re
publican ticket. The nominee added :
"They tell us that the election of the
Chicago ticket will drive gold from
this country. I want you to remember that
the more nomination of a candidate for
president on n frcri silver platform has been
bringing gobto ! ( his country for the past
few weeks. ( Orcat applause ) , My friends ,
If n nomination will start such a flow of
gold to the United States , what will bo
the enormous How when wo actually have n
president wlio ; Uifor free silver ? ( Applause ) .
" .My frlondj , qur enemies tell us that If
we have tfye , . Jffa coinage of silver that
foreign nations would get our gold. I want
to say to yon that the moment this nation
opens Its mlnrV to the free coinage of sil
ver , the creditor nations of Kurope will
have to Join us in the maintenance of the
value of silver 'rtt ' a parity with gold , In
stead of coiltplPltiK to force down that sil

Mr. Dryan had the following to nay today
about the action lof the Duffalo convention.
"I am very inucb gratified to learn that the

following matter public , In answer to
charges made by t < "rccinan Knowlcs :
"U. K. Hayward , Esq. . Garden City , Clark

"Dear Sir HeplytnR to yours of the IGth
In which you ask for Information as to a
statement made by Krecmon Knowlcs In a
speech , made In your city , In which ho
stated that at the time of the Issue of $300-

$75.000 In the banks of Dcadwood , and that
before the state received one solitary cent
of benefit from the above warrants ( $7S,000) )
1 had paid $2,000 Interest money.
"There Is not a word ot truth In the
statement. The facts of the matter arc as
follows : On February 9 , 1893 , this ofllco nego
tlated the sale of $2"i,000 of funding war
rants with the American National bank of
Dcadwooil , and the funds were placed to
my credit as state treasurer on February 11 ,
lS.ri. ! ) There were warrants registered and
not paid for want of funds at that time $4ii.-
835.78. On receipt of the above funds regis
tered warrants to the amount of $25,000
were Immediately called for payment , at
which tlnio interest ceased.
"On February 14 , 1895 , this office nego
tiated the sale of $ . " 0,000 of state funding
warrants with the First National bank of
Deadwood. The funds were placed to our
credit February 23 , 1S93. At thct time the
total amount of warrants registered and not
paid for want of funds wns $03,068.09. On
February 26 nil registered warrants were
called for payment.
"On March 11 , 1S95 , I negotiated the sale
of $225,000 of revenue warrants with Messrs.
Mason , Lewis < t Co. , ot Chicago , The funds
were placed to our credit March 16 , 18'JB ,
since which time the state has been on a
cash basis.
"On April 1 , 1S93 , $100,000 of funding war
rants were paid from the proceeds of the
last named sale , which were Issued and
outstanding at the time I became state treas
urer. The total amount of funding war
rants outstanding at the tlmu 1 assumed
the duties of this office was $220,000. And
the total amount of funding or revenue
warrants outstanding at the present time Is
$250.000 $ , which become due and payable on
December 31. 1S9G , and April 1 , 1S97 , for
the payment of which ample provision has
been made. This will leave the state with
out any floating debt whatever.

electors in nomination In behalf of Palmer

not made public the namca will bo kept from

for the secrecy lies In the fact that consent
to rim has not been secured from all of the
nominees. It Is understood the committee
will assume that It has the power to noin

the propriety of nominating a state ticket ,

SYRACUSE , Nob. . Sept. 17. To Hon.
Prank Hansom , Omaha : Dear Sir You were
kind enough to refer , in your recent speech
at this place , to your republicanism , mid
liolil enough to assert that you wore "still a
republican. "
It was not long , however , before we ills-
covered that you \vcro n "Kay deceiver" nnd
a popocrat of the first water. You had no
words to say In favor of the republican party
nor In defence of Its principles , none In com-
inondntlon of Its candidates , but you Immediate
diate- ! launched Into a tirade against that
party , although claiming to bu "still n re
publican. " One would have expected that
If you happened to differ with your party In
a minor nnd unimportant matter , you , being
"still a republican , " and presumably In the
ict of making a republican speech , would
liavo said something In favor of that part
of your party's platform with which you
did agree , nnd surely you would , had your
[ inrpose not been to deceive. You attempied
to establish yourself an the sole nurvlvl.ii ?
member of the 0. O. I1. , and you garbled
ind distorted the language ol Lincoln ,
Illalnc , Garflcld , Logan and others to stHtnln
that claim. Well , It It be true that you
are Its sole survivor , that party resembles
Mr. Uuckncr's old revolutionary gun. that
liail n new and modern lock , stock nnd bar
rel nothing left of cither the old gun or
the party except the toucbholo !
You Infcrmcil us that the "groit Lin
coln" had promised to confer some great , nl-
; hough mysterious benefits on the silver mine
owners , that were not to be granted to other
Industrial enterprises , nnd that If we did
not , after hearing your speech , bellave what
r'ou said wo should vote for. McKliiley.
Well , wo heard you , and have concluded
to take your advice , and If you will consult
the canvass sheet next November you will
believe that we did. You fooled no repub
licans , and Syracuse will give Its usual ma-
lorlty for McKlnlcy. If you were "still a
republican , " wherefore the necessity of your
labored defense of yourself against the
charge of anarchical tendencies , and your
party from that of a design against morality
nnd integrity of the country ? IJut you can
not successfully defend yourself and your
mrty against those charges by crying
your'ro another , " which Is all your quota
tion from Ex-M. C. Weaver amounted to In
such defense.
In commenting upon the garbled extracts
above referred to you Informed us that the
men quoted were competent to expound re
publican doctrine. You should have In
formed us It Altgcld , THlman , I'ennoycr ,
bo of the bloody bridles , and Mr. Bryan
were competent to expound popocratic doc-
rlno or otherwise. Don't forget these
.hlngs next time , for a careful attention to
ninute details Is very noccasary in an of-
'ort to deceive.
Your remark that "if the republicans pre
vail In the coming election , the mortgage
fiends will begin their hellish work. " was
'orclble ' and elegant , and no doubt had refer-
: nco to tbo return to Hrokcn Dow and to
its "hellish designs" of the soon-to be ex-
governor of this state , to give way for hon
est Jack MacColl. Such reference to his
'return to his hellish work" was not nice
lor pretty : neither was It fair to assert that
S. II. Elklns made a million In politics. You.
yourself , have "been In politics. " How much
of your generous fortune did you acquire In
that branch of industry ? You told us the
income tax "hit you n little , " ami since we
all voted and worked to elevate you to pollt-
cnl distinction , whllo you were n rtal rcpub-
Ican , we think we have a right to ask how
far you went Mr. Klklns' way ? At least tell
is If you "wrested tbo power from gold bugs
nnd wielded It over the people's heads" as
you told us Mr. Klklns did ?
The repetition of the old nnd long ago dls-
iroved slander about the telegram asking
low Mr. Morgan liked the platform , Is
strong testimony that your zeal has outrun
your discretion.
I pass such remarks ns "tho manhood of
\mcricanlsm" and Senator Hill "wrote a
cttcr to the democratic party , " nlthough
trongly tempted to criticise your grammar.
'on saw lit to assail the personnel of the
St. Louis convention , and denounced the ub-
sonco of old party leaders. Well , you and
no must give way for younger and stronger
non , Just as others gave way for us , and If
t bo true , ns you said , that there was
learth of "those who by their valor on fields
of carnage , saved the union of our fathom , "
I take pleasure in informing you that there
s no dearth of gallant soldiers lighting in
ho ranks for their gallant boy comrade- , and
against the "boy orator. " who was not their
comrade. General Dan Sickles , gallant Dan
of Gettysburg , without whom that crushing
Jlow to the rebellion had never been given ,

others , will speak in your city In the near

LONG nilANCII. N. J. , Sept. IS. United
States Senator James Smith , Jr. , of New
Jersey , chairman of the state democratic
committee , gave out today the following
statement regarding his attitude to the Chicago
cage platform : The lines upon which the
present political campaign is being con
ducted and the interpretation of the Chicago
platform by the New Jersey democratic con
vention held to select electors are In oppo
sition to views which I have expressed when
called upon to speak on financial questions
In the senate. My desire has been to find
a way to harmonize these views with the
platform declaration and to harmonize my
Individual opinion with the expression of
the party councils. With these objects In
mind I have given the < iucstlons at Issue
careful consideration. The result Is t find
my mind agreeing with the course I took
iu the senate as the only one consistent with
sound financial policy. This conclusion be
ing fixed. It then necessarily follows that I
should not participate In the direction of
the campaign as a member of either the
national or state committees. Justice to the
candidates demands that their cause he In
the hands of those who are without doubt
as to the correctness of the policy proposed
by every plank In the platform. I havo.
therefore , decided to resign from any lead
ing position In the political management ot
the campaign. In doing this , I am governed
by a .sense of propriety and not by an In
tention to set up my personal views against
the expressed policy of my party. Hut , as
a democrat , obedient to party , I must and
do bow to the will of the majority and un
hesitatingly express my belief that the people
ple may safely trust a democratic president
and congress for whatever legislation may
prove necessary for the welfare of the
country. JAMES SMITH , JH.
