Kansas came .smil ingly Into Cnnton several hundred strong. Employes of the Santa Fo railroad and others made ono of the most enthusiastic delegations 'that ha yet visited Canton. Some of the party wcro two days on the road. They were headed by President H. D. Morris of the Emporla Railway Men's Sound Money club. Tbo singular crowd of the day was the party of poor supervisors of Pennsylvania , who came to Canton from 1'lttsburg , where they were In convention. Armstrong county , Pennsylvania , was rep resented by several thousand people. From 10 o'clock this morning until this evening the streets wcro again crowded wth | vis itors. Major McKlnlcy was visited by five delegations , and to every one ho spoke. j They were from four states Pennsylvania n rent two Indiana ono Ohio onii and Kansa * the other. The first lot of callers was the Indiana company that arrived hero before daylight. They waited at hotels until 0:30 : o'clock , when a formal call was made nt the McKlnley residence. The second was the party of railroad men from Kansas. The third party of the day was about 100 from Plttsburg. They wcro residents of Pennsylvania who bad been In the Iron City as delegates to the annual meeting of the poor and charities. Ohio then had Its Inning , and sent a large party from Von Wcrt nnd contiguous territory. The noxl . delegation was Ibo largest of the IRV It came from Armstrnnp r < vtnt P "in ' " nt . and wag made up largely of Iron , tin and glass employe ! . This delegation prummiuil w .uajur . . .uivinloy n hamjsumo mirror , ins , product of a glass factory of Armstrong county. Major MeKlnloy was In good health and , eplrlts this morning , and Mrs. MeKlnloy -was at the breakfast tabla after a slight Indisposition yesterday. The major's first response today was to Mr. W. II.

They went to Major McKlnley's home nnd the major jnado a magnificent address in response to the presentation talk of II. I ) . Morris , president of the Emporla , Kan. , Railway Men's Sound Money club , under whoso auspices the excursion was given. Archlo M. Balrd also spoke for the TopeKa railway men. Major McKlnley said in re ply : I Imvo bcnrd It said a thousand times from the public rostrum that whllo the tariff mlRht help the men engaged In the fac tories , it hnd no Inlluencv upon the wages of men who were engaged upon the great transportation lines of the country. " - miy of you bellovod that statement four yoarfl ngo , you do not bcllovo It now , be- COUHO you know thut upon the gcnorul prosperity of the country depends the pros perity of our great railroads , nnd upon their prosperity depends your employment nnd wages. You will have nothing to do If there la nothing to haul. And the moro there Is to haul the more nnd steadier em ployment yon will have , nnd the better Ti\Kca you will tfct for yourselves nnd TnmllloB. In the lost tllroo yearri nnd a hnlf no character of property has suffered mare than the rnllroads. Many ot them hiivo boon compelled to go Into bankruptcy. Into thot'lmnds ot receivers. .Many ofthem huvo been tumble to > pny either their bonds or the Interest on them : nnd that la only because the change of ItsS. ! settled paralysis , . upon tha business of the United State * , Now , what wo want to do Is to- got , back our prosperity. Whatever will do thnt la what nil of UH ought to bo In favor of , no matter whnt mny bo our several occupa tions nnd employments. A number of rea sons i\rn \ offered for this congested condi tion of business ; nnd n number of uretcrlp- tlons arc offered for Us cure. The most prominent ono Is that wo can nil bo mndo prosperous nnd happy , If wo only open up our minis to the coinage of all the silver 111 the world. WHERE IS TUB 11I3NEFIT ? Cnn nny worklngman or employe of the Snntii Fo system tell mn how the frco coin- nco of tbo silver of the world will benclll him ? Will It Increase your trnlllo or trnns- " "porlfttlon ? Will It Increase consumers In tbo cnst or tin ) products of thu west ? Will It Incrcnso the domaiul for a slnKlo day's labor nnywhcro ? Will It Increase the wages ' of nny worklngman to hnvo this govern ment declare thnl pieces of silver you can . buy nny where In the woild for C3 cents . stinll be coined us dollars by the govern ment without expense nnd wo fool ourselves by calling them dollars ? Will that help anybody ? Will that help any American Interest anywhere. All It will do will IMI to Increase the production of the silver of the world and with the Increased produc tion of sllvor will rome Its certain di ro- clatlon , nnd with tbo depreciation of.sllvor -will bo the Btlll further depreciation bf the silver coins of the United States. * Surely no ninn wants that. It Is not the mints we want to start ; It Is the great In- ( Uisliliil enterprises of the United States that you must start. You are prosperous when every factory In thu country Is busy , and every worlclngman at work , making products In the cast thut art * shipped to the west nnd Brewing products In the west that , nro shipped to the east. And what wo want Is , first , n tnnrUct for tncse productu of tbo nrcat west ; so you can haul those . products from the west to the eastern flhoro nnd not have products sent them from tha other sldo of the Atlantic. You want that ns Inlereslcxl railroad men , but you do not \vnnt a cheap dollar anyhow. This Is not a cheap country ( A voice : "And this Is not n cheap crowd"and ) an my friend rays , this Is not n cheap crowd. A ' crowd that will Journey morn than 1,000 miles , giving up moro than twenty-four hours of time to male the trip. Is a ciowd thut Is Interested In the future prosperity of our common country , which nil of us love no well. I do not know ot any patriotic citizen who wants us to aaopt the llnanclal system ot cither Mexico or China. Wo have tottnv the best money In the wofld the * goltl doll.tr , the sliver dollar , and the paper dollar cucliorth 100 cents , because each baa Ilia government of tha United States behind it. Such jr.oncy Is good enough of Itcolf. but tha trouble Is It docs not circulate. Everybody that has $100 li hoarding It today , for ho does not know what tha future Is fiolng to bring. There Is not u man In I ho ntidlcnco who liavlns $100 is willing to loan It out unless ho In certain he will get U buck , principal and Interest. Is not that 30 ? There Is not n railroad man who has laid aside J100 thnt will not hold on to It until ho knows what the future currency of the United States l.i to be.

So All the years of my public mo I have bopn advocating nn Industrial policy thnt will protect the American producer against the cheaper products of other countries nmt other lanili.

What wo want to do today Is to got thorn buck again. How can wo got Uiein back. You can get them bad : by steadily and firmly setting your facts ngalnst the doctrine of repudiating the public or private dcbtH of the country nnd ngnlnst the debasement of Its currency , and voting for the rnntorntlon of a policy that will not only protect every American citizen nnd Investment , but will put enough mom-y Into the public treasury every twenty- four hours to pay every debt of the united States.

The greatest ro- eptlon ot < the day waa accorded Mr. Dryan vhen ho arrived in Pcorla this evening. 'ho streets wcro crowded and ho was given continual ovation from tbo tlmo he left the opot until ho started to speak. Three meetings were held hero , ono In tho. Tabcr- aclo , another In historic House's hall to an audlcnco made up exclusively ot trades union men , and a third In the open air on ho court house square. Thousands were unable to gain edmlttanco to the hall and housands moro wcro unable to get within ound of the speaker's voice at the open air meeting. It was near 11 o'clock before Mr. Dryan finished his work and ho retired at once to his car. At the tabernacle Mr. Dryan said : "I want o say that I condemn the disturbance at lr. Carlisle's meeting as much as any dls- urbanco offered at any silver meeting , .id each Individual remember that no dis grace can bo heaped by him upon any other torson.

I want to recall .what . you road In : hls morning's paper that the rate of In terest had been raised 1 per cent by the Hank of England. The rate of Interest there now Is 4 per cent. U has been raUcd 2 per cent within six weeks. The Dank of Germany has raised the Interest rate to i per cent and the Dank ot Franco has rc- ruscd to scIT gold. I call your attention to these facts because , my friends , I can not understand how any one could fall to eco the significance of tbeso things. Our opponents toll us that gold offers a safe foundation for an International monetary system. They tell us that gold alone Is good throughout the world. I want you to understand , business men ot Pcorla nnd Illinois , that this rlso In the rate of Inter est In England nnd In Germany and the action of the French bank , all tbcso things Indicate , I think conclusively prove , that the stock of gold throughout the world Is so small that the nations of the world are grabbing to gel their share. What has created this specla demand. It would not do to have another bond Issue In the United States during this campaign. It has been decided that another Issue of bonds would bo an object lesson which they could not afford to risk , am therefore the financiers of Now York wen to work to supply the treasury with ioh to tldo It over the campaign , and when they found It was difficult they appealed to for olgn financiers , who were Interested In fas tcning the gold standard permanently upon the American people , and these financiers aided in the plan , and as gold left Europe and gold came to us from England the pco pie there began to feel the effect ot Its departure , the Dank of England raised th prlco and stopped the flow of gold to the United States and Germany had to protcc herself , and Franco had to protect herself And thus , my friends , this ono llttlo aglta lion proved to the pcoplo ot the world tha BO Jong as gold was our money thcro mus bo constant agitation , constant peril to on commercial fabric , as tbo gold comes fron ono to another. " In two speeches which followed the taber naco | speech Mr. Dryan discussed tbo silver doctrine along the same general lines as pursued by him In other places. LEADERS SWELL THE HOSTS. SPRINGFIELD , 111. , Oct. 23. What I considered the battle ground of the cam palgn by that portion of tbo democracy a present aboard the private car "Idler" wa entered by the nominee this morning. 1111 nols has been looked forward to and It bos been understood that Mr. Dryan would pu up the best fight ho had about htm when the prairie state was reached. Eighteen places were put down on the Itinerary fo today. The Illinois democratic politicians me Mr. Dryan last night at Tcrro Haute am today conducted him through Illinois. In the party were Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner W. 8. Cantrcll. who took charge ot the train ; Theodore Nelson , Judge William Prentlss of Chicago , Judge John A Mahoney. Judge Charles Shacklcford , Fred II. Morris of Wntseka , L. O. Whitney and J M. Graham of Springfield and Senator Davit Evans. Danville was the first stop of the morning and from a otaud near the court house Mr Dryan spoke to an assemblage which num bcrcd up In the thousands. A twenty minute stop was made nt Paris and hero Mr Dryan condemned tlio money changers to the great delight of a few thousand pcoplo among whom wcro mauy farmers. Jt remained for the llttlo town of Charles ton to originate a conveyance different from any found anywhere to take Mr. Dryan to the grounds where ho was to speak. A grjl ; decorated platform was provided and plnccc on wheels and after Mr. Dryan and his part ; had ascended It 200 strong and willing hands wheeled It to a vacant lot , where the- nom Inee addressed a largo crowd ot demonstra tlvo farmers. Ho upoko for a quarter of at hour and his utterances were cheered am applauded repeatedly. At Sullivan thousands of people cbeerei Mr. Dryan and when ho mentioned tbo name of John P. Altgold they took occasion to cheer that an they .did nt Mattoon. A howling , shouting , cheering crowd wel coined the triple nominee to Decatur , where ho was down for two speeches and an hour's stop. When the train pulled Into the dcpo a great crowd surrounded the car , and I was with difficulty that Mr. Dryan reached the conveyance which was to take him to the place of speaking. Hero the enter prising committee wont the Charleston com inltteo ono better , and Instead of having tha ordinary vehicle a motocyclo wai brought Into use , and the candidate was conveyed in this horseless carriage. The crowd was the feature. It was a crush from the start to the finish , and when the platform at the court house' square waa reached It was Impossible for the nominee to gain it. While tbo crowd was not BO largo as at many places , the crush was the worst experienced for many a day. The other carriages could not get within 101 feet ot that occupied by Air , Dryan , am the crowd of short-hand men with the party and for the local papers could no get near enough to report the speech. At the second speech It was but a repe tition. The candldato did not dare to leave the vehicle and the few policemen wcro po'.vtrlcss. The return tt > the depot was a continuous ovation , and It was hard ( o keep the excited admirers of the nominee from doing bodily harm in their dcslro to show tbolr affection. Sullivan was ono ot tbo places not down on the list and waa thrown In Just for goCi measure , There was a large crowd of re- 'ptiblleans and democrats tlioro , owing to 'tho fact that excursion trains wcro about the depot on which had arrived many who were to hear cx-Pmldcnt Harrison in tbo afternoon. IMPORTANCE OF ILLINOIS. Springfield , the capital city ot the atato of Illinois , welcomed the democratic nomi nee with a magnificent reception. Opwda that numbered Into the tons ot thouiands listened to him , and noisily demonstrated their affection for him and their bullet In tha principles that ho advocated. Mr. Ilryan delivered two speaochos ot Spring field , ono from the court house and the other at the front ot the statu capltol. 'rom the i lnltorm erected near the court house Mr.wDrynn spoke ns follows : Frca sllVor-"inay triumph without tbo oto of Illinois , but with the vote of Till- nolo frco silver , I * certain to succeed.

I want to warn the wage earners against the policy of our enemy. Mr. Dryan closed his first speech with ho following reference to Governor Altgcld : I feel thnt In this state when our candl date for governor U so nblv presenting nnd lefondlng the principles Involved In thin campaign , and so convincingly presenting ho paramount Issue of tbo money question. t Is scarcely necessary that nnyono else shall say a word.

Cullx Ilnnl Xniiien n < Fremont niul ISvoUrn n Uctmlcc. FREMONT , Nob. . Oct. 22. To the Editor of Tha Dee : Probably the most disgraceful harangue cVer delivered before n Fremont nudlcnco was that by W. D. Oldham , a lopocrntlc orator ft Kearney , at the opera house on Tuesday night , October 20. After discussing the sliver Issue for a tlmo in i very excited and slangy manner , ho turned : is attention to these democrats who have repudiated the Chicago platform ot anarchy and revolution nnd flcclaroJ their Inten tion to support MeKlnloy , applying to them ill the vllo epithets listed In his vocabu lary , and ended by characterizing them all as "political bastards. " This brutal and filthy epithet , hurled at reputable demo crats ot the nation by this coarao buffoon , was cbecrel to the echo by his popocratlc ticarcrs and admirers. Occupying the stage with the tpcnker was Governor Holcomb , endorsing by his nllcnco this dastardly at tack upon gentlemen who had given him loyal support two years ago. ' What do the democrats of Nebraska think of this vllo. Indecent attack upon the wheel- horses of the democratic party In this state ? How do they enjoy having this foulmouthed - mouthed damagoguo charge every democrat who cannot follow the tortuous , dangerous and' dishonest route marked out by the leader ot the popocratlc forces with being "political bastards ? " Are Dr. George L. Miller , Judge Wakcley , John A. McShane , J. Sterling Morton , Judge Crawford , N. C. Harwood "political bastards ? " Are W. II. Mungcr , Pred Vaughan , Oswald Mueller , M. Welch , Julius Deckman , Carl Halm and John Humrlch "political bastards ? " Thcso , with thousands ot others whom space will not permit to name , have been Iho leaders and workers In the democratic party In Nebraska. They are democrats from prin ciple and have stood by the party for a quar ter of a century when thcro was not the remotest cbanco ot obtaining a victory. And now , because they refuse to desert their principles , because they refuse to bo led Into the camp ot repudiation and anarchy presided over by Altgcld , Tlllman & Co. , they are branded as "political bastards. ' " Does Governor | lolcomb expect to make votes by endorsing such disgraceful attacks upon respectable citizens ? If ho did not endorse this sentiment , why did ho ny. de nounce It then and there ? Is this tjo man ner in whlcn ibis great party c ) reform , which claims' , a monopoly of all ( ho virtue nnd honcntyj' Is ' going to reform the world ? Is the npplitftUto'ii of an odious and disgust ing epithet tb'respectable clth/ns In a pub lic gathering , tlio lilghcst Ideaof these self- styled pavlofs , 'oi the liuu-f.n race ? Who Is this man Oldham , anyway , that ho pre sumes to pdsrf'ln judgment on the loyalty of those gentlemen ? Where Is this mud boasted cnmpj I'nt of education gene when the ndhnrciits bf'tho parly that was golnj to oaucole aridreform" a degenerating worli willhowl , themselves hoarse when promlncn and' ' rbpfctaVKitlllzeris are vilely traduced by a characlefiess Jester ? No public speech ever delivered In Fremont has caused such a feeling ot disgust and disapprobation , nnd It will cost the popocratlc party of this county many votes. C. D. MARR. UAXGHIl IN' THE TOWEL. Some of tin' 1Vornt IHNOIIHPH Ciinvcycil ! > One In Common HMO. Too many people In hotels , restaurants one bualncs ; offices use the name towel. It hangs up In the common lavatory ; seems a great convenience , yet may bo a source every very sprloUs disease. A writer In the Chris tlon Sccrctcry thoughtfuly reviews the mat ter , and what ho says Is worthy a wldo dla tributlon : "A case of Infectious disease for which the physicians could not In any way ac count recently gave a. start to an investi gation that ought to interest all persons who find It necessary to use toilet appli ances outsldo of their own dwellings. Do ing of an Inquiring turn of mind , and hav ing known the family In all of Its branches the doctor was a llttlo curious as to tin source of the Infection. IIo finally learncc that In the same office where his patient was employed was a Janitor who was suf fering from this disease. From this point it was not difficult to trace the cause of the trouble. The doctor dropped In at the of fice ono day Just before closing hours ant secured the soiled towels. These ho sub'- jccted to a thorough examination , ant found a flourishing colony of disease baclll of the sort ho was seeking , This was an Incentive- further research , and the clean towels wcro examined , Thcso wcro fur nished by a company that supplied thou sands of towels all over the city. Half a down wcro examined , with no results be yond a few harmless microbes , but later a very Innocent looking , clean , white ono was found to bo a veritable hotbed of dis ease germs of the most horrible description. Then the Inquiry proceeded as to why .this should be , when it was found that very many towels are turned In at the laundry with scarcely an appearance of soil about them. "To make work easy they are sometimes merely run through a suds , rinsed , dried and mangled.

Thurston as the speaker if the evening. A largexjnumbcr of rcpub- Icnns met the senator and bis party nt the wam and headed by a band marched to ho hall. On the stage with the dlstln- Kiilslied speaker sat Mrs. Thurston , Miss lartnet , a cousin of Mrs. Thurston ; Joseph Crowe , A. H. Murdock , John C. Wharton and chairman of the meeting , Mr. Horrack. A. H. Munlock. candldoto for reprcscnta- ; lvo on the republican ticket , was the first speaker. In openingMr. . Murdock oald that ho recognized many present who were vorkors In the front ranks of the republican party nnd then spoke of his own candidacy , to said jt was not a particularly high cluce. but one ln which the common pcoplo were ntorcatod , Inasmuch as the legislature made : ho laws and all good citizens were Inter ested In seeing good laws placed on the statute books. Ho assured the voters that ho was not In favor of changing the present awa In relation to fraternal Insurance , iclthor did ho favor any change In the valued policy law. If elected ho said ho ivould do all In his power for the Trans- mUslsslppl Exposition , which ho was satis- fled would bo a grand success. Joseph Crowo next spoke a few words and predicted the success of republican candl- latos from William MeKlnloy down and stated that If sent back to the legislature 10 would do all ho could to protect the In dustries of South Omaha. John 0. Wharton , when Introduced , as sorted that on November 3 victory would bo perched on the republican banners. Ho then spoke for a moment on the silver question and aald that since 1873 this government had coined 1C.OOO tons of silver bullion Into money and placed It In circulation. After telling a story which greatly amused the audience ho gave way for Mr. Thurstou. IN A MOOD FOR OHEEIUNO. As the senator arose ho was greeted with rousing cheers , then seine one proposed three cheers and a tiger for the senator , and It was some moments before quiet was restored and ho was allowed to proceed. He was very hoarse , but managed to malio himself heard In all parts of the hall. In his preliminary remarks Senator Thurston said that ho al ways appreciated the hearty support ho had been given by Douglas county , Omaha and South Omaha. "I have come hero , " ho said , "oftcr cam paigning through nineteen states , and speak ing to vast audiences In every city from North Dakota to Maine , and south as far as Virginia. Now I have come homo to tell you that William McKlnlcy will bo elected by the largest Viiajorlty over given n presidential candidate. There Is no moro question about ! t than that tbo sun will rise tomorrow morning. " This statement wag greeted with rounds of applause. Ho then told the audience how lonesome It looked In thp popocratlc headquarters In Chicago and compared It with a summer hotel after the guests had all departed. The senator , continuing , said that tlio only question for the voters of Nebraska to determine was purely a business one. On November f wo are to commence again under an American policy and capital will como forth from Us hiding place and seek Investment. This will give employment to men and add comfort to the lives of women and children. The speaker Impressed his hearers with the Idea that this was not a sectional or class question , but purely a business proposition In which every Ameri can family was Interested. "Two days 'ago Mr. Bryan said , " continued 4ho speaker , "that every man In the country who was opposed to arbitration between cap ital and labor was opposed to him. Now I want you to tead the platform of the re publican party. That plank In the plat form was Jlrst written and adopted by the republican party In convention assembled at St. Louis. " Senator Thurston then pro ceeded to tell how , when ho reached St. LouJs to attend the convention , ho found several letters from prominent officials In labor organizations asking that a plank providing for the arbitration of differences between employer and employe be Inserted , and at his suggestion the comntltteo In serted the plank. It was afterwards copied by the Chicago convention. PERFORMS ITS PROMISES. "Tho republican party , " ho said , "was the only party that always did what It promised to do In Its platform. " Sorao llttlo tlmo was then taken up by the senator In explain ing to the pcoplo how the United States scnato came to pass the contempt of court law -and what part ho took In preparing and urging the passage of the -bill. The repub lican party , ho asserted , has never failed to look after the Interests of the working- man. He declared that the free coinage of silver proposition of the democrats was the moat deadly blow over -aimed at the laboring classes. ! . The republicans , bo said , had al ways favored , silver money , and told , how much had been coined of late years. Ho declared that ono would always find some men standing on a street corner asserting that gold was the money of the rich and silver the poor man's money. That has not como true yet , as $1 in silver will buy today as much as a gold dollar. Proceeding , ho said that until the Chicago platform was adopted , a person could take n silver dollar Into a bank and could get a gold ono In exchange. Now that could not bo done , because the men who bad gold were holding It as until the election was settled they did not know whether their gold would bo worth twice as much or not. After MeKlnloy Is elected , bo assorted , a man can got as much gold in exchange for silver as ho , wonts. Ho wanted the dollars of the United States to go around the world , as the ( lag of our country docs , honored and respected everywhere. "Mr. Bryan , " ho stated , "had claimed In the cast that frco silver would dotfhlo the value of the Mexican dollar and In the west ho had stated It would divide the value of our dollar , but In his debate with Mr. Rosewater - water Bryan bad admitted that ho did not know which would happen. " Tbo speaker closed by Illustrating the value of our money in Tilexlco. Some time ago , ho said , whllo traveling In Mexico ho happened In a bazaar and spying a piece of pottery that took'hls fancy purchased It. The price was marked CO cents , and ho laid down a half dollar and started out with bis purchase. The merchant called him back and after figuring some time banded Mm back hla lawful change , which amounted to 45 cents In Mexican money. All through the evenIng - Ing the closest attention was paid to the senator and ho was frequently Interrupted by epplauso. GIVKS GEORGIA ALL IT WANTS.

Senator Jones wired his representative hero In substance as follows : "Wo must accede to the demands of the' populists for fusion in Georgia. " The reply In substance was : "The populists - lists of Georgia do not want fusion , Tho/ demand a surrender. " To this Senator Jones responded : "If oHo arc the facts use your own judg ment.

Senator William M. Stewart of Nevada spoke at the tloyd theater last night. The house was fairly writ filled below and the galleries wcro partUlly occupied. Many re publicans were noticeable , who wcro at tracted by curiosity to hear the speaker and [ hero was an exceptionally liberal proper tion of women both In the parquet and on the slasc. A couple of young men entertained the crowd by singing campaign uongs for the first fifteen minutes and their efforts were well received. Governor Holcomb presided ami consumed over a half hour In Intro ducing the speaker. Whllo doing this ho took occasion to criticise the notion of Secretary - rotary of State Piper relative to the ballot controversy. As the governor gave no Indi cation of stopping , Senator Stewart bccamo plainly nervous. Ho changed his scat sev eral times And kept consulting his watch as though ho feared ho wns to bo only a sort of aftcrplcco In the show , When the senator was finally given an opening ho was received with flattering en thusiasm. which was not so marked as ho proceeded. The speech was not what the Aiullcnco expected from a United States icnator. It was much after the pattern of : ho curbstone debaters and logic was neg- ccted for radical statements for which no Icflnlto authority was given. Some of the tssertlons of the speaker wcro so radical that they were received In chilly stlcnco ) y an audience that was- presumed to bo In sympathy with his views. Senator Stewart begun by remarking that he was not surprised that the republicans were trying to win the election by unfair means. They had from the first waged a campaign of fraud and Intimidation. Ho de clared that In the present campaign the American people were on ono side and the onomlca of our free Institutions on the other. The country was In grave danger. Merit was no longer considered In making appoint ments at Washington , but the man who could bring the most Influence to bear for something the Rothschilds wanted Invari ably won. Ho dwelt on the Rothschilds at great length nnd held them directly re sponsible for everything that had happened In America since the "crlrao of 1873" down to the recent rlso In wheat. Ho bitterly at tacked Major McKlnley end Mark Hanna and asserted that the trusts and corporations had raised $100,000,000 to defeat tbo will of the . people. _ _ MA.VV COMB TO IU3AII GUENTIIKR. Full * in Comp mill Dr. Miller Til Urn Itix IMncc. A largo audience , composed exclusively of Germans , gathered last night In Fritz Muel ler's hall , at Seventeenth nnd Vlnton streets , In expectation of listening to an exposition of the financial issue by ex-Congressman Richard Guenthcr of Wisconsin , who was advertised for that tlmo , but for some rea son unknown to the members of the Ger man Republican club , under whoso auspices the meeting was to have been hold , that .speaker failed to reach the city. In his plsco Dr. Gcorgo L. Miller addressed the assemblage In English , and for two houra , during which ho was listened to with close attention , ho poured volley after volley Into the free silver camp. Ho said that for forty- two years ho had been a disciple of democ racy and for that length of tlmo ho had labored for that party In this community without hope or reward. "Tho principal free silver apostle , now endeavoring to engender the feeling of hatred among pcoplo of a common country for the purpose of furthering his own ambition and hoisting himself Into the presidential chair" was the way In which Dr. Miller substantially paid his respects to Candidate Bryan. The hfstory and prosperous growth of Omaha was cited by the speaker as on In- stnnco where the crlmo of 1873 had done such Incalculable damage ao that from village of a few thousand people It had grown Into n city of national reputation. Dr. Miller addressed at times very earnest words to his hearers , going back to the early days , of Qmaja | and Illustrating .how many of the poor men of that tlmo hart grown prosperous and even wealthy though "tho crlmo" had been committed In 1873. Dr. Miller gave Illustrations from actual expcrlcnco to show that free coinage of sil ver could not bo of benefit to any country. Ho concluded by assuring tbo audience that his ballot this fall would bo cast for Wil liam McKlnlcy , and from that down to con stable the ontlro republican ticket would receive bis support In order to servo his country , his state and city.

The insult to Secretory Carlisle at Covlngton" has created a profound sensation In Louisville , and It has assumed the form of a determined movement which will effectually prevent the repetition of the outrage at any other point in Kentucky. Mr. Carlisle speaks hero next Wednesday , and this morning the following telegram was sent to him : "You will have such complete protection against Insult and so grand an ovation when you come to Louisville as will for- Over wlpo out the attempt of last night to destroy free speech , dishonor the fair name of Kentucky and to discredit her foremost citizen. " The telegram is signed by Chairman Davlo and Secretary Carlisle of the gold standard democratic state committee and forty at tbo city's leading men. In adJJ- tlon , Mayor Todd sent a telegram o ! sim ilar Imnort. Tomorrow afternoon Mr. Carlisle speaks at Bowling Green , and Hon. John S. Rca , silver candidate for congress , will demand a division of time , .which will , of course , bo refused. In this event the silver men propose to hold a meeting at the door of the opera house , where the secretary speaks. This , It Is feared , will cause se rious trouble , as the gold standard in on are determined that the secretary shall not bo Insulted again. Any sarsaparllla Is sarsapa- rilla. True.

Standing room was scnrco before the conclusion ot the speeches , ns many people plo dropped In during the evening nnd the store room In the Young Men's Christian ns- soclatlon building , which has been extem porized Into a headquarters of the league , bore an animated appearance. Chairman Drogan thanked these present , most of whom were business men , for their Interest taken in sound money and laid otrcss upon the fact that with so many sub stantial merchants of the city enrolled upon the roster ot the club that much good might bo accomplished In the short tlmo yet re maining before election. Ho then Invited suggestions as to methods to bo employed for reaching people In order to convert them to sound financial principles. Henry W. Yatcs responded and suggested that every man present constitute himself oa a committee of ono to speak to his neighbor and Induce him to avoid tbo calamity which the adoption ot frco silver would bring upon this country. It the fair-minded man had thoroughly studied the subject ho could not help but admit thnt the frco coinage theory did not have a single argument which could bo sustained. This fact , It placed before the undecided voter In the proper manner , could not help but make votes for the republican candidate. Mr. Yatcs then showed that It was not the lack ot money , but lack ot credit which caused the present hard times ; that 95 per cent of the business of the United States wns transacted upon a credit basis and when credit waa once restored good times were bound to ensue. R. W. Richardson gave a short history of the various financial panics of the country and drew a number ot deductions showing the fallacy ot the silver argument.

It is a crime because it is wholly within her power to make the baby strong nnd healthy. She can do it by the proper preparation by taking proper care of her self during ; the period of gestation. Many babies die early , or at birth , or arc sickly all their lives because of their mothers' ignor ance or neglect. Neither is excusable. " Kvcry woman may be ctrongnnd well , nnd so insure the health of her baby. If she will take Dr. Picrce's Favorite Prescrip tion during the period of gestation , she will find that she will have none of the discom forts incident to this condition , and that parturition will be free from danger , and comparatively free from suffering. This medicine is the greatest remedy in the world for nil the forms of weakness or dis ease peculiar to women. It is the only medicine of its kind prepared by a regu larly graduated , experienced and skilled specialist in the treatment of diseases of women. It is the only medicine in the world that will make the coming- baby safe and easy. You can get it at the drug stores. If you want to know nil about it , address Dr. R. V.
