to deny and to prove that he did not for
personnl financial gain agree to cicn,and tho
Insertion of tho silver plank In the Rinnan
City platform for a consideration of $140,
000. Mr. Kingman, In his startling revelation,
says that he Is prepared to produce a wit
ness to prove that a few weeks before the
convention a delegation of hvu tnun Ironi
Colorado, representing the silver Interests
of that section, railed upon .Mr. Ilrynn at
hi homo and made his the distinct busi
ness proposition that if he would support
the silver plank in the platform, Injlst
upon having tho ratio of if) to I inserted
and refuse to run for the presidency on tha
democratic ticket or refuse to accept any
nomination on any other than a free sliver
platform, they would pay film personally
the sum of JtfiO.oOO, which .Mr. Uryan agreed
to do.
Mr. Kingman 13 thoroughly convinced
that ho has discovered the secret of Mr.

Here's an example. Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral is .a good cure
for a cough that comes from a

CHICAOO. Oct. 2 Senator Hanna, chair
man of the republican national committee,
today made his first address In Ciilc.igi
since his return from New York. He spoke
at a noon meeting of commercial men and
retail salesmen. The senator said the only
man he knew who approximated an em
peror was Itlrhard Croker. He charged Mr.
Croker with fostering tho Interests of th
Ice trust and then added that the Ice com
bination was a trust if there was such a
thing as a trust. He said little about Im
perialism, asserting that It was a false
Issue and a big bugaboo. Senator Hanna
said In part
Mr. Chairman und Fellow Citizens: It is
encouraging for mo to see that the bu.il.
nes Interests and tho worKitigmen of the

one Issue, onlv one-the Issue of prosperity

about trusts. The Ico trust of New York

fact that Mr. Uryan is to make two trips
through Indiana, taking in both the north
ern and southern parts immediately after
the clone of the convention, visiting and
making speeches In twenty-seven cities and
towns of tha stato will tend to prevent as
large an attendance from this state as would

BRYAN SPENDS BUSY DAY
Drmocrath! Lender Puts In Many Long
Honrs nt SpelUjludlnn lu '
Mlllliesotn.
LE SUEl'R, Minn., Oct. 2. Tho decora
tions which wcro placed upon tho Bryan
train at Duluth by tho Minnesota state
committee were almost entirely destroyed
by souvenir seekers while the train stood
In the yards at Minneapolis last night. Mr.
Bryan started out today with a schedule of
fifteen speeches before him and when he
reached this place he had already delivered
fWo of them, namely: At Shakopee, Jor
dan, Belle Plalne, St. Peter and Henderaon.
At each of these places except at St. Peter
he spoke ten mlnntes. At St. Peter he
spoke half an hour. Tho speeches wore all
condct.sed reviews of the general situation,
but especial attention wis given tho trusts
and Imperialism.
Shakopee, the first stop, was reached at S
o'clock. There Mr. Bryan said the repub
lican party "has allowed the trusts to grow
and It cannot Insist upon tho discussion of
the old question and the Ignoring of tho
trust with which everybody has become ac
quainted, because of the effect of the trusts
upou them. A speech can only put out the
philosophy of experience.
You have had your experiences, now we
want to show you that that experience
will not only continue, but it wi'.I grow
worse unless you remove the cause. We
believed In 1IM the republican party wns
giving too much attention to the dollars
and too little to the man. Wo felt sure
thit we were right; that 'f this was poison
In the blood that ft would continue to break
out. If there Is poslnn in the blood, on the
body will appear a boil and a wise man will
take something for the blood, but the fool
ish man will have more bolls. We tried
to show you what was going on, but you
would not listen. You have had the trust
boll, a military boll and a new Imperial
boll Is In sight. Why Is It that the re
publican party allows the trust to grow?
Ilecauso ths republican party Is more In
terested In those who possess the organized
wealth of tho country than those who aro
contributing to their dividends collected
by the trusts. Why does the ropubllean
party want a large army? They vnnt It
at homo to suppress the discontent which
shnti'd be cired by legislation nnd they
want It nbroad In order to exjlolt tho
Philippine islands and If you will look up
the record you will find that the republican
member of e-ongreHS who stands nt tha
hend of tho army committee Is president
of the Philippine Lumber and Development
company and they have already gobbled
up a lot of tho lumber land and taken con
trol of the Improvement In the Philippine
Islands and In their prospectus they say
that tho 'nbor question is easily solved.
There Is plenty of Chinese labor.'
ny reading tneir prospectus you can see
why It Is those people whant a large
army and ImperlaUHm. and while It Is n
good thing for those dolny. the developing,
it Is a bad thing for the people who furnish
the sons for the army and the people who
pay the taxes.
At Belle Plalne Mr. Bryan said that
trusts, militarism nnd Imperialism were
questions which bad been raised by the re
publican party, but, ho contended, that
party was not prepared to moct them. He
said that the republican party was not In a
position cither to condemn or defend Its
position on cither of these questions.
The people of Henderson were treated to
a disquisition on trusts. Speaking ot the
rise In the prlco of salt, Mr. Bryan said
that he had heard a republican say the In
crease was Inappreciable because ho could
not eat a barrel of, salt in a lifetime. Mr.
Bryan claimed this reasoning was falla
cious. One might as well say he could not
eat a suit of clothes. The objection was to
the principle and the great danger of trusts
lay In their Insldlousness. In many cases
the Increase In cost might not be a burden
to nny one article, but. taking all together,
thoy constituted a load too heavy for com
mon people to bear with equanimity.
MANKATO, Minn.. Oct. 2. Here Mr.
Bryan made the principal speech of the
forenoon, the stop at this place being forty
minutes In duration. He asserted that the
republicans were trying to fight the cam
paign on the lowest plane on which a cam
palgn waa ever pitched.
"In the cast," he said, "they tell us of n
prosperity In the west that we havo never
seen, ami In the west of big wages in the
cast which they do not dare to boast of In
the anthracite coal regions," Ho said the
republicans were more troubled In 1804
about maintaining the parity between the
white men in the United States and tbo
brown men of tho Philippines. He referred
to the closing of the cracker factory at this
place as an object lesson ot what might
be expected of the trusts. "Mr. Hanna
says there are no trusts," he said. "You
can tell him better here, can't you?"
"You bet." was tho general response.
Continuing, Mr. Uryan again referred to
the Ice trust, saying that It was the only
trust that republicans know about, not
withstanding Its operations were confined
to New York, while the other trusts reach
out all over the country. He again sug
gested that the republican governor of New
York should be at home looking after the
trusts In his state Instead of traveling
over the country campaigning.
Speaking of the Philippine question, Mr.
nryan repeated that he was willing to as
sume all the responsibility for the ratifica
tion of the treaty, but not for the treaty
itself.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. Tho War depart
ment has Just received from General Mac
Arthur, by mall, another batch of Insur
gent papers captured by the American
troops. Among thorn are letters from H.
Sandlco and E. Reglno, agents ut thu Junta
at Hong Kong, which express their views
with much freedom. In a letter addressed
by Saudtco to Lieutenant Cclonel Caslmlro
Tinlo, the, writer says In part:
Tho present campaign ntid some other
circumstance have created in Amerlc.i a
political situation that may perhaps pr
mice the downfall if McKlnley, which wlil
Mgnlfy the triumph of our ideas For tile
satno reison the disastrous war in the
Transvaal and especially the tierce rev i
lutlon In Chita, have created a political
atmosphere critical enoush to cause the
birth of a disturbance of the armed peae
ot tho great powers thnt may result favor
ably to our aspirations l ccnie Am -rloa
may prefer to sacrifice some of her plans
with respect to the Philippines tepcting
our independence, under her. protectonte.
rather than sustain two uurs and run the
risk of losing the whole archipelago. I
believe then that under the conditions o
favorably colored by the present clrciim
MatuvM it Is necessary we continue this
strugglo and only accept penio on a bas i
of Independence, although under an Amer
ican protectorate.
If the re-election of Mr. McKlnlev te
accomplished and the revolution In China
wiped out and the war In the Transvaal
take no new complications, then will I bt
the first to accept tile pence thnt 1 bell' ve
to be necitstiary. though It be ot the cot
of acknowledging the sovereignty of th"
I'nlted States, lnco I cctndrtcr thut our
forces are now Impotent to defend our

papers, says- "Possibly Sandlco Is as close
to Agulnaldo as any ot the leaders who
continue In open hostility "

AMtlonnl System.
NEW YORK. Oct 2 The meeting of
clearing house representatives held hero
today had under discussion the subject of
country check collections. Frederick W.
Hayes of Detroit, chairman of tho commit
tee, after the meeting said that as a result
of extended Inquiry on tho advisability of
adopting a national check collection sys
tem Baltimore, Boston, Denver, Detroit,
Kansas City. New- York, Omaha. Rochester,
St. Louis, Los Angeles and Leavenworth
were raoro or less governed by clearing
house agreements. While a uniform sys
tem affecting nllko all banking centers was
Impossible owing to modifying restrictions
Imposed by renditions of local trade, general
action along woll defined lines was feas
ible provided tho largest cities gave their
consent.
Chicago was the greatest obstacle lu the
way of a national agreement. In that city
ono or two banks held out on nccount ot a
dislike to collect charges from J60.000 ac
counts anil because of other objections baaed
on a fear that tho step might prove unpopu
lar and divert Chicago business to points
not governed by collection agreements. Mil
waukee would probably consent If Chicago
gave In. Buftalo, too, was considering the
subject and Louisville had taken action
after Its clearing house association had been
reorganized to provide for tho charges.
Henry P. Davidson, vice pre?sldent of the
Liberty national bank, was elected secretary
and William Sherer and William J. Ollpln
were re-ele-cted manager and assistant man
ager, respectively.
