THE OMAHA. DAILY BEE : TUESDAY , SEPTEMBER 22 , 189
man w < u < mortally wounded by dynamite.
John Mnhoncy , a miner at the nig Four ,
who was near the Kmmctt , wna shot In the
itomseh. Ho died In the arms of lili com
panions. One of the men who brought
the report had his clothes nearly all torn
off , but was not seriously hurt.
At 3:30 : this morning an attack was made
nn the Emmelt. There were over 100 shots
fired , but a telephone message from the
mine states that the attack was repulsed
and that no lives arc known to bo lost and
no damage to property had resulted.
The strike began on the 19th of June , and
therefore entered upon Its fourth montn
today. It has paralyzed business and
caused hunger and suffering In hundrcdn of
families and has cut down the mineral out
put of the company more- than one-half
Tonight's bloody battle Is believed to be
the last desperate one of the radical cle
ment of the strikers to force the stoppage
of all mines that are not paying the In
creased nealt ) of wages demandrd by th
union. Many ot the strikers have assertea
nil along that they would "clean nut the
state" and oven the government troops I *
brought hero. Uather than ? r > e outside
labor come to the camp , the mine owners ,
who at first refused to rccognhze the union ,
finally offered a compromise , buf 'his wa
rejected , and all efforts by ritlrens ana
others to terminate the strike slncu then
have failed.
At 11 o'clock this morning all Is quiet ,
succeeding the terrible ovcnts ot the early
morning. No new outrages have been re
ported. Five lives at least were sacrificed
In the firing and the work of destruction
at the Coronado and Kmmctl mines.
DI5AD AND DYING.
Following is a list of dead and wounded.
Dead :
HURT 1.1 Kill.
JAMES HUNSON.
JOHN MAHON13V.
All were miners employed at the Coronado
nado and were killed by the explosion.
They were Identified only by means of pa
pers found on the bodies.
Dying-
WILLIAM O'KKKI-'B , foreman of hose
company No. 2 , shot through the stomach.
J. HIGQINS , miner , employed at the
Coronado , shot eight times In arms ami
stomach.
Injured :
Frank Tcllc.
Martin Scott.
IJoth were Coronado miners. Their Injuries
are not believed to be fatal. Mnhoncy ,
who was shot near the Kmmctt mine , clalmn
ho was there merely as a spectator.
At least thrco of the attacking party at
the Kmmell were seen to be hit by bullets ,
but they were carried away by their com
rades.
The Coronado people heard of the coming
trouble last night , but the supposition WAS
that the attack WHS to bo made at the I3in-
mctt. Soon aftci the destruction began
many of the citizens responded quickly ,
armed with rifles and shotguns , but they
could do little In fighting the lire and
dynamite near the oil tanks. The men
within the enclosure returned the attack ,
and a fuallado of bullets followed , but the
dynamlto did its work well.
U Is charged that the lawlessness of last
night was due to a mob of sttlkers. princi
pally from the Coeur d'Aleiie country , who
have long been breeding trouble in Lcad-
vllle , and who , seeing the strike was nearIng -
Ing an end , were determined to make a
final stroke. This assertion is largelj
made by the peaceable miners of the camp.
Early last night there was every evidence
that the strike was broken. Many miners
had announced their Intention of going to
work this morning. After being repulsed
at the Kmmett mine the mob , which num
bered not over fifty persons , fled and arc
now in hiding In the mountains. Friends
of the miners say they will go to work at
once. They bitterly denounce the ex
tremists and say their action has lost the
miners the strike.
The arrival of the mllltla Is anxtouslj
awaited , despite the apparent calm. The
local companies have been sent to the hills
and armed citizens are patrolling the
streets.
The city council met today and decided
to aid the state authorities In cffoits to
apprehend the offenders.
At a mass meeting of citizens this after
noon the lawlessness of the mob was de
nounced and It was demanded that the
troublesome men leave the camp.

CHICAGO. Sept. 21. Her. Father Malonc
of Denver , who Is in Chicago on a lecture
tour , speaking today of the Leadvllle riot.
said : "Tho results of the Lcudvllle strike
are deplorable In the extreme , but the
great body of miners should not. in my
opinion , be held responsible for the out
rages of last night. Thcv are duo to Ir-
icsponslblcs. It Is not yet too late to bring
peace to Leadvillo if cool heads were to
take the matter In hand. Arbitration would
settle It If such a man as Marcus Daly were
to act as arbitrator. He Is a tnino owner ,
but I am sure he would be acceptable to
the miners and he nuqhl also to be satis
factory to tbo mine owners. In the Inter
est of humanity Mr. Daly should be appealed
to at once , and 1 am euro ho would accede
to a request to art as arbitrator and thus
avoid further bloodshed. "

CHICAGO , Sept. 21. The loads In the
Western Passenger association have decided
to make a raid of one fare for the round
trip from all points in the eastern commit
tee territory of the association for parties
going to Canton , 0. Tile rates will bo good
only as far west as the western gateways
of the eastern committee territory , bat can
be used for basing purposes from points
beyond. The arrangements as to the time
limit aio the same as have been adopted
by the roads of the Central Passenger com
mittee. The latter organization has made
rates to Canton which are considerably
under one fare for the round trip. As their
territory extends to the Mississippi river ,
the lutes of the western roads are
higher from certain competitive points
on the river than are the rates
of the Western Passenger committee
roads. It Is likely that the Western
Passenger association lines will meet the
competition at such points. The transcon
tinental roads are all stirred up over the
discovery that since the resumption of busi
ness on .Is Sunset route the Southern Pa
cific has been paying $15 commission on
every passenger from New York to San Fran
cisco who is ticketed over the Sunset route.

Candidate llr > iiu.
The candor and ingenuousness ot child
hood were responsible for a decidedly awk
ward situation during Mr. Ilryan's recent
visit to Chicago , which disturbed even the
equanimity of the popocratlc candidate , and
brought unuttciablo confusion upon a' doting
mamma and aunt.
It occurred during one of those little In
formal leceptlons which Mr. Uryan occa
sionally gave In the parlor ot the Audlto-
lium annet , relates the Chicago Tribune.
On the occasion In question the wife of a
man fottncrly connected with several of the
big down-town hotels , together with her boy ,
a winsome little fellow of 5 or C years of
age , with an exceedingly well developed
bump of precocity , and her sister-in-law ,
were among those present when
Mr. bryan entered the room and
began his usual round of hand
shaking and exchange of compliments. Iloth
she and her sister-in-law were ardent ad
mirers of Mr. Dryan , and when their turn
came thev greeted him with much effusive
ness , telling him liow much Interested they
were In his campaign , nnd how they hoped
to bee him successful.
Ho iccelved these compliments In bin
usual benignant manner , and then chancing
to see the boy , who wag standing Just be
hind lilrt mother , and thinking , doubtless , to
further cement the friendship of mamma and
aunt , ho bent over toward the boy , and , as
suming ono of his 1C to 1 smiles , extended
his hunil and said In his blandest tone :
"Will you notslmko hands with me , my little -
tlo mnn7"
Tim mother was , of course , delighted with
this notice of her boy , but the "llttln man , "
for some reason , showed no disposition to
meet Mr. Bryan's advances , and It \\as
with anything but a friendly eye that ho
gared upon the former's smllng face. The
mother quickly noticed the child's evident
indisposition to gratp the hand that was
extended him , and thinking it was duo to
embarrassment , uakl encouragingly and per
suasively.
"Shako hands with Mr. Dryan , dear. Ho
will bo our next president. "
Little wan she prepared for the answer
which leaped Instantly to the child's lips :
"I won't shake hands with Mr. Ilryan ,
and ho ain't going to be our next president ,
neither. "
The mother was so overwhelmed with
astonishment that nho gazed at the child in
a state of utter and hopeless confusion. The
situation was rather trying for Mr , Dryan ,
but thinking to relieve the mother's em
barrassment , and perhaps Inspired with curi
osity as to the child's unwillingness to
uhake his hand , he asked pleasantly :
"Why won't you shako bands with me ? "
As quickly as before the answer came
from the child , and It left the mother and
aunt In a condition of hopeless paralysis ;
" 'Cause papa sayu you ain't no good. "
"Why , Tommy , you naughty boy , your
jmpn never Bald any such a thlug , " said tbe
mother , almost ready to cry , so great was
her embarrassment.
The sti'rcotwpod smllo on Mr , Hryan'i face
had faded to a large extent , and a painful
silence pervaded the room. Then he made
a heroic effort to pass tbe Incident over
pleasantly , and tald with a smile to the
mother as he turned io greet others In the
rooms
"The boy Is all right , madam , but I fear
you have neglected his political education , "
The mother wag unable to say a word , and
taking the child by tbo band left the room.

Rev. J. W. Vcnable of Hopkinsvlllc , Ky.
After the appointment ot the standing com-
millecs , the grand sire delivered his annual
communication.
The first session ot the grand lodge was
called loselher at 2 o'clock behind closed
doors. Grand Slro Stebblns' annual addrcs.- >
occupied the time up to 3 o'clock , at which
hour an adjournment was taken.
GRAND SHUTS RKPORT.
The report of Grand Slro C. E. W. Steb-
bins contained the 'oHowniR :
"Tho condition of tbe business Inter
ests and the prospective disturbances In
this and oliier countries have had their
effect upon tne orcier. Yci under the sur
rounding conditions nur growth has not
been seriously retarded. Our iusscs in mem
bership through Inability to meet Ihclr
obligations have been unusually large
Ihough when the stringency of the times
have passed many will return. The addi
tions to the order have been fairly gooa ,
and in all branches prosperity has prevailed
to an unlocked for extent. In the subor
dinate lodges the net gain has been 9,190.
In the nub-encampments there has been a
net loss of 1.G3G. In Iho Patriarch Militant
branch Itere has been a large Increase. In
the Rcbekah branch the growth has been
phenomenal , there being a net Increase In
membership of 27,834. This is In no lii-
consldprable degree allrlbutablo and trace
able to the opening of the doors to all un
married woii.on ot good moral character.
This branch Is rapidly outstripping all the
others , and the prediction that in the not
far future It will lead them all In membe :
ship , In labor and efficiency , seems probable
of reallzallon. It Is to bo hoped that the
things now most needed for Its greatcv
efliclency the opening wider the door
so as to admit all of good moral character
and benevo'ent Impulse whether married
or unmarried and the giving of a universal
password and sign , so that they may every
where seek a brother's aid when requirpd ,
will be provided before this session closes.
The forolgr Jurladlcllons are prosperous.
"In the departmcnls of homes for the
aged , the widow and orphan that grandest
field of our labors reports were received
of homes established , or In process of es
tablishment , in seventeen grand jurisdic
tions. Wten we recall Ihe brief period of
time since the tlrst effort was made In es
tablishing them , wo can but feel encouraged
nt their great success. Their growth and
increase year by year , both In number ana
residents , have been phenomenal.
GROWTH OF THE ORDER.
"I have gathered from unofficial sources
the following which , It not exact , as may
appear in the olllcial figures , will give
something of an idea of the progress : Las :
year there were reported seventeen grand
jurisdictions ; this year , twenty-six ; Increase ,
nine ; last year , acreage , 3,739.11 ; this year ,
acreage , 3,913.00 ; increase , 173.80 ; last year ,
value , $682,727.01 ; this year , value , SS18.000 ;
Increase , $15,272.0D.
"In addition to the foregoing , Washing
ton , Oregon , South Dakota , Nebraska ,
Georgia and North Dikota have the sub
ject of ho-mra under consideration and will
doubtless soon be added to the list. This
growlh In tills branch of our benevolent
work is most gratifying , for a large part
of which the order ia Indebted to the Re-
bekah branch that has given it its special
altenllon.
"Our financial condition , which has al
ways been of the best , cannot bo too care
fully guarded against encroachment. If
the question of supplies , the chief source
of our ro\enuo. shall be clearly denned ,
and the order Informed and other sugges
tions be carried out , no direct taxation to
sustain the Increasing expenses of our rapIdly -
Idly developing order need bo feared , The
increase of the Patriarch Militant branch
was : Cantons , 111 ; battalions , 33 ; regi
ments , 11 ; brigades , 4 ; divisions , I ; mem
bers , 2,226 ; funds , $2,728.83. And this does
not embrace reports from Delaware , Den
mark , Kansas , Louisiana , Maritime piov-
inces , Nevada , North Dakota , South Da
kota and Virginia. With no reports from
nine jurisdictions , the Increase In mem
bership Is more than double that of the
subordinate lodges and nearly equal to the
marvelous growth of tbo Rebekflh branch. "
In conclusion ho says ; "The past two
years , loaded as thc-y have been with the
Imperfections of the Uebekah and the Pa
triarch Militant codes , the Fargo dlfliculty ,
the new amendmenl to tbo constitution ,
the checking of the Inroads upon the "list
of supplies" and the new digest , have been
years of labor and responsibility. With
such counsel and advice as was at hand , to
the besl of my ability , I have endeavored
lo meet and dispose of them all , as to my
Judgment seemed most equitable and Just ,
at all times endeavoring to keep within
the spirit rather than the letter of the law
wherever ambiguity or doubt existed. "
Tomorrow there will bo a reunion of
grand past leprcsentatlves and many other
special features will mark Jho week. Two
thousand distinguished visitors from out-
fcldo the state ape liero and every , train
brings fresh arrivals.

NKW YORK , Sept. 21. The meeting of the
democratic state committee called for to
morrow night is causing much discussion
and speculation tonight. Chairman Dan-
forth said today Ihls meeting would simply
bo to elect a successor to W. F. Shechan
as national comraltteeman and to attend to
the details of the campaign. It Is rumored ,
however , that Senator Coffey of Kings
county will voice the sentiments of the sil
ver men on the ticket , and ask th'o commit
tee to use Iho power delegated It by the
state convention and name a new candidate
for governor. John n. Timelier has not yet
declined ojr accepted it , but It Is understood
ho will acl In the mailer as Iho cpmmittee
desires. It is because of this serious
situation lhat Senator Hill is expected In
the city tomorrow to take charge of affairs
and watch the meeting , It Is generally be
lieved the state organisation , represented by
Mr. Hill and Mr. Sheehan , hold a majority
of the committee In their grasp , and , there

OMAHAf sirt , 21. To the Editor of Th
Ilee : The ( silver headquarters next to the
postofflee aijc sending out a pamphlet which
' '
friend ga\e'\o \ the writer lately with the
' *
remark : "That'Js our now testament. " It la
headed "Hlni iaillsm" and wrltlen by A. J.
Utley. Thp"wilter dots not pretend to bo
equal to Iho , lak ot discussing the silver
question , .bq . 'in looking over this "free
silver blblo" n < st noticed some things thai , U
seems lo n > * iitne but tnosc blind , deluded
sllverllcs ojiftl lead and nol be puzzled to
understand libw they are to be reconciled
with the "truth" this "blblo" Is supposed to
ptcsont. First , a number of pages are di-
volo'l to proving , In the author's mind , that
because gold has at some lime fluctuated
slightly In value , therefore It Is not n
suitable standard and thai Ihe sound money
man's claims that gold has Intrinsic vilue
are false because , ho says , "If II had In
trinsic value It could not chance or fluctuate
uate- . " Let us admit this for argument , and
make a new slatcment , viz. : "Thai niotnl
has the nearest to intrinsic value thai is
subject lo Ihe least variation In its ratio
ot supply to demand. " That being the case
would not such a metal be preferable as u
standard ?
On pngo 4 , It Is undertaken to prove that
the United States can maintain the price of
silver at $1.29 per ounce by proper legisla
tion. regardless of the acllons ot oilier na-
llons , and that the sliver of Ihe world would
be worth Ibis price less Ihe cost of transpor
tation lo Ihe United Stoles. In fact , it Is
stated , as a self-evident Iruth. "Thoro can
bo no question about It , " ho says. Hut
just previous lo this paragraph he admits
that after the price of silver had advanced
to $1.20 per ounce , through our legislation ,
India caused It to drop again In less than
twenty-four hours. Supposing the United
States undertakes to keep the price tip , It
must bo prepared lo lake Ihe sliver of Ihe
world , and what will It do with It ? If it
docs not have to take It to keep the price
up , whey should it not proclaim a price
of $1 a bushel for wheal or SHO ner ton for
Iron , and llius help olher lhan Iho one class
of silver mine or bullion owners ? Then 'his
"blblo" quotes from Jevon's that "tho prin
cipal cause of the divergence In the rollc
between gold and silver was tb sus. ) * rcion
of the French law * * nnd Ihe demone
tization ot silver In Germany * * and
elsewhere. " So the legislation of othei
countries docs have some effect on the value
of silver.
Again , on page 8 : "It would be an aci
of imbecility producing as It does * t < -
allow Europe to fix the price of our sllvei
bullion. " Yet the price of other commodi-
lles is fixed there. And why ? Hecauso tlm
is the exchange market of the world. On
page 11 : "China and India use silver as
money and are heavy consumers , rivet >
ounrc of silver they have costs them fl.37. '
Then , why do not our mine owners tci.d
their product lo that market ?
After we have been practical ! v on a rold
basis for sl\ty yenrp , Iho closing peroration
of this new testament of the free sllverites
hceins rather Inconsistent. "It ! ho mon - >
kings can force gold monometallsm upon
the world , they will suc.'oo 1 In cstabllahlnr
the most Kltmntlc tnwn yi l nrlslonacj
among the jrieh , and the worst system ii'
peonage , serfdom and slavery among the
masses Iliaf has eve. ' eur.ied the human
race. " That is , it we continue a gold Uisl-
we shall bo brought to the Bvr.c condition
Ihnt cvcrv silver country Is In today , but
if we follow In tneir footsteps resjarditip
our monetary system , it will have the oppo
site effect on this country. As well might
ho say : "If , we produce more heat -we shall
freeze ; or If we , have a war our expenses
will be diminished. "
While I Hkq to hear both sides of a ques
tion I perfpr , lo get my Information from
reliable sources , and not depend on the curb
stone free sliver orator , who tells you one
mlnuto that by using the 53-cent dollar for
a standard lhat everything will advance 100
per cent In value ; that this will include
cold , but tliat cold will finally drop back
again to Its pivscnt standing. In what
way would * his benefit the people nt large
It seems toimo. tyiat It would only give the
speculalors achnice [ , nnd speculation is not
n very permanent thing. But one of these
orators remarked that 1C to 1 was the
proper thlug because now the production of
silver In the world Is about sixteen ounces

told mo lhat the government would not bus
Iho bullion , but would simply coin It for Ihe
owner , charging a mint fee and for that
fee undertake to maintain the dollar at

OMAHA , Sept. 21. To the Editor of The
nee : For many years I seem lo have been
laboring under the delusion that we live
under the freest , happiest , most prosperous
and glorious country on the face of the
earth. It ia true that It la not heaven ,
for we have some bad people ; some Indo
lent and extravaganl people ; some poor
managers and some unrortunato people
Nevertheless , n great many seem to hu *
comforts , luxuries , health , employment and
happiness. Uut , ah ! how rudely the veil
has been torn from my eyes.
The other day I stopped for nearly an
hour at thu silver headquarters and listened
to a speaker who had evidently talked
often and much in certain organizations ,
and who spoke with a strong brogue , In
forming us that ho was an Irish-American
and a native ot Ohio. From him I leained
that our apparent freedom nnd prosperity
have been a sham and delusion ; a gicat
mistake and a fraud. It seems that the
great mass of om- people are slaves ; that
wo are bound hand and foot by some horrible
rible creature called the "Money Power ; "
and we are trampled under foot by pluto
crats , goldhugs , bhylocks and other dread
fill beings , whoso dens seem to be some
where about Wall and Lombard streets ,
who ciush us down with a fearful and re
sistless machine called the "gold standard , "
which they fraudulently manufactured by
having "demonetized silver. "
Nov , having had my eyes opened , I see
BOIUO things which I could nol tee when
Ihoy remained closed. It is true that 1
realized before that overtrading , overin
vestment , too great extension of the credit
system and overproduction ot commodities
would necessarily bjing contraction and
stringency , and"that , the government's pur
chase in a few years of enough slv | r lo
provide all the llvcr coin our nation could
use In a century would slriko the confidence
of investors and govfernmenl creditors ami
lhat the great reductions in our tariff duties
would embarrass our government finances
and cripple very njany of our Industries.
Hut , Mr , IVJitoi , I could not foresee all
that has come to pass under the pressure of
.bla tcrrililo machine , under the control of
.hut horrid crelUlife , Hut , as I said bcfoic.
my eyes have lieWi opened rind I have read
.ho papers. I find lhat the destllutlon of
onr country hn iw > so great that we spent
only $70OOO.OW , Met year for chewing gum
and $150,000.000 for bicycles. Our bills for
Iquor and lobacco did not amounl lo ver )
much more than our national debt. I have
lot the statist cS nl hand to show to how
small a sum.ivVtave been obliged to con
fine ourselves "for confectionery , soda
water , jewelry , ribbons , laces , feathers , base
tall , Ihcalers , , conccrls , vacations , excur
sions , trips a'crob's1 the mountains and the
oceans and UWv.tr1ouB other little comforts ,
uxurles andbludu&cnces which Americans
mjoy.
Now. I have also learned from some of
ho friends of the speaker whom I heard ,
hat the way to escape from this great
lestilullon is lo lear down Ihls dread ma
chine , Iho "gold standard. " break up the
> ank * , Impoverish the rich , cut doxvn the
alue of the IHUe savings wo have put Into
he savings instllullons for limes of sick-
noes and misfortune , and to bring ourselves
up to the wonderful state of prosperity
enjoyed by the "people " of Mexico , where the
vorklngmen have the privilege of laborliiB
or 25 cenls per day , and their families can
ivo in ono room of a little hut. And , alati ,
hat our manufactures and commerce nhali
> e made lo prosper by giving silver WSRC
o our producers , in order that we may
ompeto with the cheap labor of prosper-
us Japan.
As I have learned so much from our silver
riends , I suppose , other people who have
> ecii deluded should also open their eyes
o behold the great glitter. In order that
ve may all join In the chorus of "Great U

WILMINGTON , Del. , Sept. 21. William J.
Bryan began Ihe week's campaign by rising
nt 5 o'clock nlitl Inking Ihe ( ! :25 : Iraln from
Unlllmoro for Dover. It was nearly 12
o'clock before ho retired last night , but
today he was greatly refreshed , onsldcrlng
the means in which he travels. There were
no great crowds at the stations after leav
ing llalllmoro and the few people who OB
scmblcd to see the train pass through did
not know Ihe candidate wi.3 aboard the
ordinary coach altachcd to the lear
end of the train. All the ixsMcius
of the towns which ho passed supposed
he would taka Iho train leaving Washington
this morning and these people were disap
pointed In not seeing the nominee.
Mr. Dtyan left the Carrolllon hotel In
Baltimore shortly before C o'clock. Ho was
accompanied by the Delaware escort com
mittee and Josephns Daniels of Raleigh , N.
C. , Mho will make the trip with Mr. liryan
Ihrough Now England. There were stops
at IJay View , whore a few railroad men
came Into Iho car and shook hands with
Mr. liryan. There were stops at Havre de
Urace and Perryvlllo. but no crowds were at
the stalloim. At Elkton the citizens had
been apprised of his coming by telegraph
and the first cheer of Iho day was glvcli
him by a crowd of n few dozen. II was Ibc
same nl Iron Hill , and al Newark , no one
knowing of the nominee's coming.
At Porter's station , Mr. Uryan was met by
a reception committee of twenty-six. A
delegation of the Young Men's Domocrnllc
club of Wilmington also came down to act
; > s escort for Mr. Uryan to lhal city. A few
hundred people al Mlddlelowu wore ap-
irlsod of Ihe coming of Ihe nominee and they
turned out at the depot , having with them
a brahs mam' and a good deal ot enthusiasm.
They cheered and clamored for a speech
Mr. Bryan told them thai every cotnmunllj
uhlch ho entered was solicitous and vcrj
anxious for him to speak In that town , bu'
not to cpcak anywhere else. He said he was
going to save his voice as much as possible
end keep It all through the campaign. He
delegated each of his hearers to make a
* poceh for silver at Iho polls on elecllon day
and apparently Ihe crowd accepted the com
mission. There was a short stop at Clayton
just long enough for the people to shake
hands with and cheer Mr. Uryan.
There was a largo crowd to welcome Mr
Bryan at Dover. The nominee was taken
to the Capitol hotel , and from there to the
lesidcncc of R. R. Kenney , where he resiled
an hour. Then he went lo the hotel foi
luncheon , and in informal rcrcptlon was held
until 1 o'clock , when the nominee was taken
to the fair grounds , where a large crowi
had assembled to hear him. Excursion
trains brought many people from other part.
of Delaware , and the eastern shore of Mary-
laud.
laud.Mr.
Mr. Bryan , In his speech , called atleiitlo : '
to a refertnce made by McKinley last Sat
urday to the thlrly years of prosperity un
der republican rule , and contrasted this
statement with remarks made by Mr. Mc
Klnley at the time he introduced his larlff
bill Into congress as lo the low price o :
farm products and the general depression
In agriculture In this and other countries
He also called attention to Prince Bis
marck's reccnl letter to Governor Culhcrsoii
of Texas , which ho considered as Indlcalinr
that Germany wished to get rid of the goli.
standard , and that the United Stales ohoulr"
lake Ihe lead by opening the mints to sil
vcr.
vcr.At the conclusion of his speech at Dover
Mr. Bryan was driven Immediately to the
train , and at 4:35 : starlcd for Wilmington
At Newcastle a half hour's stop was made
end he ppoko to the crowd assembled about
the depot platform for a few moments , isay-
Ing in part : "I am the nominee of three
parties. In fact I got so in the habit of
being nominated lhat when I stopped I
felt disappointed that there were no more
parlies. ( Applause. ) I was not nominated
at the republican convention , but If thai
had been heM after ours I think we might
have been able to bi Inij them over to free
coinage. " ( Laughter and applause. )
Tonight an audience that filled the nudl
torium In this city to Us ulmost capacily ,
sitting nnd standing , became wildly demon
strative over a hpeech by William J. Bryan
Bryan was- presented by L. Irving Handy ,
democratic candidate for cnnwrpra. In in
troducing the Nebraska orator , Mr. Handy
referred lo Major McKlnley , and theic was
nn outburst of cheering , Intemipted with
groans and hisses. More groans and hisses ,
but no cheers , followed his reference to the
Ihlnl llckot Iho decoy ticket , he called It.
Mr. Bryan's reception was flattering In its
enthusiasm. When ho finished his speech he
went on a platform on an open lot , near the
auditorium , and addressed n large crowd ,
composed of those unable to gain admission
to the principal speech.
Mr. Bryan will leave here at 10:05 : tomor

( study he has pul on Iho qilesllon since has
made him more firm In Ihis belief.
Continuing , Judge Clark-sin gave n very
clear exposition of the coinage laws from
1702 to Ihe present. He showed how the
government was obliged to bolster up silver
after the passage of the Bland-Allison net ,
nl Iho expense of Its credit , frightening pub
lic confidence so much ns lo resull In Ihe
panic ot 1SD3. lie Ihen refuted the nttempl
of the local silver organ to quota James

of silver by giving entire that part of

tion , proving conclusively by his own words
that If Blalno were flghling In this cam
paign , ho would bo unollcrably opposed lethe
the silver parly.
Mr. Clarkson closed by telling of n per
sonal poll he had made In Iho block in
which his residence is situated , wheie , oul
of twenty-one voters of nil classes , nineteen
will vote for McKlnley.
The thanks ot the club were then lendered

mnilo that "In view of the present political

to ha\o a ilny ot humiliation and prayer
throughout the \\holo nation. The SUKRCS-

To the Christian Citizens or the United

there bo the merciful Interposition of the
divine hand. We believe this to bo trtio
independently of any solllemetil of the
present presidential contest one way or an

factor known as "public confidence" Is do-
clInliiK , us Illustrated by the depression In
both ilnnticlal and Industrial circles , whllo
on the other , political , clnss and even sec

likely to become Intenser na the day of

that questions rcQUlilne the most careful
and dispassionate consideration , are. very
likely to be determined In many Instances
In tno beat of passion , but after their de
termination the results may prove baneful
over a wldo surface and for a lengthened
period.
We. would not view the situation , perplex

relation to the mind of C3od , We believe In
His presence nnd ngency unions us. Ho
Is tno governor among ; the nations nnd will
bo entreated of his people. Hut we bellevo
this to be u time for Christian patriots to
follow the example of onr forefathers In '
earlier crises which have confronted us and
pray unitedly to Him "that Iceepeth cove
nant and mercy for them that love Him
and keen his commandments ; " that Ho
would visit us with especial Rracn.
We. therefore , affectionately Invlto and

will forgive our iniquities as n nation and
grant us His salvation. We would further
respectfully recommend that In addition to
