' i THE SUN, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1890. ' Jjt Bfc& train to get a look at Presidential candidate. Hi, I have been ther myelf. Most people want to H know bow a man look.

We bellere Hg; it la a platform that la for the good of the peo- - H pie. We believe that to carry out the provls- - fA torn of thla platform la to benefit the producing ra ol asses. All legislation to be Just must benefit H the producers. f&T "About a year aso Prince Bismarck, In an f address, said that the farmers most stand to- - gather to protect themselves against the drones Hjg of society, who anfortunately make most nf the Kf laws. This Is true, t believe, largely In this HLH country, as well as In Germany. But If I talk ' longer I will be drawn Into a speech." H- - ' While her husban'd was talking Mrs. Bryan ri watched htm Intently from her open car win- - R ' dow, and he frequently flashed a glance at her. BK! This speech was applauded, and the orator got P back Into his car andresumed hts seat beside & his wife. There was no'doubt that he enjoyed K the reception that he cot, nnd that he want- - Kk ed another. Tho evidence of that came In a Br few minutes after the train left tho spot where HL - It had been standing In tip East St. Louis B yard. The hat of one of the passengers K blew off. The conductor was on hand at f the time, and ho signalled to the en. h ' glneer to slack up. There, was a small r)f . boy beside the track nnd lie ran and got the bat. B)t He saw the man who had lost It hold up a quar- - & ter and he sprinted after the train, which was B'f going on slowly toward the Eads bridge, itla K effort waa applauded. The crowd on the train RjT yelled like good fellows to encourage him In his BMteJ' ran. They had been yelling for about a minute Hr.ij when Mr. I)r an heard them, grabbed his hat, BIK and dashed back to the rear end of the train BFfy- - where the veiling was being done. He was en- - V tliuslastlc nnd expectant and ho held his hat In ' h his hand when he pushed hie wny through tho ; S crowd to make his bow. Some one said: ? "No. Mr. President, they are only jelling at I K the boy with the hat." ; v Tlie color came Into tho face of the candidate, y- - and ho put on his own hot and mado his way i pjv back to hts seat In tho forward car. ; ?! The train was still forty minutes late when 1 m Bt, Louis was reached. There was a crowd i "JT of about :100 at tho Union Station. As i Sft the train en mo to a stop there was ft a rush for the car In which the party j .'I' were sitting, nnd as Mr. Bryan stepped out, fl. followed by Mr. Bryan and tho children, there , wasashout. Mr.Bnunsmlled. The crowd yelled , m "Speech." He shook his head. He was led up 3' tbe platform by the police to tho door of the ,3,-- ' restaurant. There the crowd checked him. A Jt box was brought and he waa forced to stand ;?' upon It. He bowed and shook hands with those , K, around him. and said. "I did not come here to Tf- - make a speech." I" Hats off," yelled those be- - 1$. hind to those in front, and oft went the hats.1 & "If this enthusiasm continues," the orator went on, "until next November, I have no fears as to Jfe the result. I am afraid yon all think I do noth- - fi Ing but talk, but I assure yoa I occasionally aT eat." JS Then he stopped and began looking around. Finally his eyes fell on Mrs. Bryan, who was jf standing close by. "Although I think a great & ileal of you all, he continued, "I see some ono ft Vero to whom I am more closely bound, and I j 'hlnk we had better go and eat." fr With this he stepped down from his chair and 'ffi, epped through the doors, every one cheering 3 is he disappeared. Once inside, Mr. and Mrs. ' iiryan hnrrled up to the dining room. They or- - Hered a light breakfast. There was only ten r minutes left before the time for the departure if the Missouri Pacific train for Kansas City. fS kqt the officials of that road said they would ffl sold the train In order that the party might Jr iave a chance to get breakfast. Tbe train waa held for twenty minutes. Silver Dick Bland Adn't appeared. The Boy Orator bad been ri luformed that ho was to take the train and ride 'ir with him as tar as Jefferson City, and ho was r- leryrouch disappointed when It left the main Silver Dick waa not aboard. filtpound was at another station and he boarded the train when It M reached there. The Boy Orator saw aim on tho ja platform before the train had come to a stop. and he rnahed out and greeted him with "Well, 'M well: I'm glad to see you." The train only stopped a moment at the station. When it left jjj? the two statesmen were sitting In a seat to- - J gather Just as If ono hadn't talked the other out M of a nomination thiu he had been looking for-- pt ward to for twenty years. $to fiv tht unitul Prt. f .

Bland arrived here this niorn- - Ing from hts home In Lebanon. After taking ft ' breakfast he Joined the Hrvan party. Tho W raeottng between the two distinguished leaders S3 waa cordial, and the defeated and successful Mr candidate for tbe nomination fraternized In the most hearty manner. Mr. Bland accompanied K the Bryan party to Jefferson City. ' S JrrrrnM Citt, Me, July 10. Mr. Bryan S arrived here at 12:40 P.M. Just as the train K was drawing out of the station at St. Louts, tbe - mo5t lntercatlng incident of the trip ocenrred. j!; Klchard P. Bland bad boarded the train, bnt i he kept himrelf In a forward car until the train K had started. He entered the narlor car In 6 .which the Bryan party had seats, and made his 'S way to where Mr. Bryan was standing. Mr. II Bland wore a long linen duster over a suit of gi ' black clothes. He stretched out his hand to- - C ward the Presidential candidate as he reached vS the latter, and there was the warmest hand 1? grasp between tbe victor and the defeated. a "How are yon, Mr. Bryan? I congratulate C& you." said Mr. Bland. S " How are you. Mr. Bland t Thank yon," cried , Mr. Bryan warmly. t v "Your nomination took a big load off my , R mind," said Mr. Bland narmly. Sf Mrs. Brrnn was presented to the veteran of freo silver, and after somo general conversation ' the two men withdrew and talked earnestly to- - j ft gether for some time. The train stopped at a , iff little place cnlled Washington, whore a knot of , jff people had gathered to seo the nominee. Stand- - if ' Initon the platform of the parlor car with Mr. I Bryan bolde him, Mr. Bland said to the crowd: J y "I want to Introduce to you the next President (B of tbe United Slate I served four years with Im him In the House of representatives, and I jfe. know he Is as true n friend of free silver as I Jft am, and I want to say that If I had had the selection of the silver c ai, dictate for President M, of the United States this gentleman wonld have SB; been my choice." 'ftJ Mr. Bryan shnncd tome feeling as he re- - vJk sponded, "If this nomination hod gone by z$i merit," he raid, "It would have cone to the man XL' i whofortwtnty years, in the face of great op- - jjr poslllnn, has kept nitre the sliver cause, and In M the hour of victory he will bomore tntltled to K the credit thnn any other man In the nation," fee Mr. Bryan told the audience that clrcam- - lMp stances, not merit, had been the cntise of bis K- - ' helectlon, and he closed with the statement fflf that, "had Mr, Bland secured the nomination, ST he would have had no more loyal supporter In Jk, tliol'nlted States than I," j This Incident was repeated at Chamois, where L Mr. Bland presented Mr. Bryan to about a hun. jK dred people In the same language he had used mi at Washington. Mr. Bryan In his turn said: " If my loyalty to the cause of the people Is ever iX questioned there Is no man on whose certificate 9 I would sooner rely than upon the certificate of W Richard Parks Bland." K Mr. Bryan and Mr. Bland Indulged In some fc pleasantries with the crowd, and when some- - ' t, body proposed three cheers for Bland, Mr, Ti Bryan led the hurrah, waving his white hat p' above his head. Mr. Bland left the party at I Jefferson City, where he will make a speech to- - ). nlghu I A ronalng reception was given to Mr. Bryan , here by a crowd of more than a thousand peuple who were assembled about the railroad station. I Gor, btone. Mayor Silver, John ( J, O'Neill, and other promluent men, met Bryan and Bland at the train, where the crowd bad I gathered. Mr. Bryan was greeted with loud I cheer. He waa presented to the audience by Mr. Bland and Got. Stone as the next President of the United States, and Mr. Bland again took occasion to express his satisfaction at the cholco of the Chicago Convention, and predicted that Missouri would roll up for him a majority nf 80,000 In November. After the hand had finished playlnr, Mr. Bryan madeallttle speech. He said: " Ladies asd Oestlemf.";: t have Just been thinking where could I find In all the country a combination of circumstances which would make a apeeoh so pleasant as In a city named after tho greatest Democrat that ever lived. In the Congress district of ono of the crestest leaders tho Democratic party has ever known, Richard P. Bland cheers, and presided over by one of the greatest fighters. Gov. Stone, and to leave nothing undone they have Just elected as I Mayor of the town a man named Silver, Laugh- ter and cheers. Thomas Jefferson. Dick Bland, Bll IStone, and Mayor Silver? I'm t home here.' Referring to Mr. Bland, Sir. Bryan said that tho silver leader was Reeded In Congress. "It It will not be his prlvllego to sign n bill giving silver a placo with gold," said Mr. Bryan, "it may be his honor to Introduco a hill which will place gold and silver on tho same footing at the legal ratio of 10 to 1. If I can't say anything about the ticket nominated at Chicago, I can say that tho platform breathes tho spirit of tho Declaration of Independence" When .Mr. Bryan concluded he was again cheered. Gov. Stone presented Mrs. Bryan as tho next mistress of tho White House, and the Bryan party then withdrew to tho train, which left Jefferson City at 1:18 P. M. Sr.rAMA, Mo., July 10. An enthnstatlo crowd was gathered at the little town nf Cali- fornia. In the conrse of a minute speech there Mr. Bryan said: "I'm very glad of the chance to see that the name of your town Is taken from the State where silver Is strong. Bnt I am hopeful that not only In California but from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast the silver sentlmont Is going to sweep the country. Reports from the old Bay State Indicate that wben the silver question Is as well discussed there as It has been here the silver sentiment will be as strong there as It Is In California and Missouri." Heard of Missouri and Charles Van Antwerp, a cousin of Mr. Bryan's, Joined the party at California. At Tipton, where a couple of hundred people cheered tho nominee, Mr. Bryan availed himself of the opportunity afforded by the presence of an enterprising young man with a kodak to de- liver a sentiment on that Instrument. "Next to the Democratic form of Govern- ment." he said, "the kodak Is the thins we most love." Of course tho crowd laughed. Mr. Bryan made no remarks at Tipton, but shook hands with the people. The station at Sedallawas packed with peo- ple when tho Bryan train arrived there at S:5S P. M. Cheer followed cheer as Mr. Bryan was recognized. Heard, standing beside Mr, Bryan on the rear platform. Intro- duced the nominee. Then there was more cheering. Mr. Bryan said: " In no other country are w e able to see such a sight as Is witnessed here. In no other civilized country can It be so truly said that the Government so Justly derive their powers from the consent of the people. Here tbe people govern. " All power rests with them. It Is the greatest rorm of government conceived In tho mind of man. and when I see this assemblage on such an occasion. ! can not but feel the gratification we all should have. " Parties," continued Mr. Bryan. " are but the Instruments by which we carry out those poli- cies which we believe In." Mr. Bryan again complimented Mr. Bland. He begged his auditors to make their ballots express exactly what they wished, and con- cluded with this remark: " I don't want anj body to think that by vot- ing for me ther are going to get their hands in somebody else's pockets, I will be satisfied If I keep tho hands of other people out of their pockets." Cheers and cries of "That's It." Mrs. Bryan appeared on tbe platform Just then and the crowd cheered her. Then a mad rush waa made for the platform on which Mr. Bryan was standing, and the handshaking waa In progress when the train drew out of the station at 3:03 P.M. Kansah Citt. July 10. At stations all along tho ron to people were assembled to see the Democrnttc candidate. At Dresden. Lamont. Knob, Noster. Montserrett, Centre View. Hol-de- n, Klngsvllle, Pleasant Hill, Greenwood, Leo Summltt. he was cheered, and at a few of them he spoke briefly. A large crowd was waiting at Warrensbnrg and In response to their importunities for a speech Mr. Bryan asked If they were going to be at tho po'la on election day. There was a chorus of " Yes." " All doubt has passed away." said Mr, Bryan. Cheers and laughter greeted this remark. He made a few general remarks nnd ended with the statement that If some one elso was elected he would support the Government until he could help cbangu It, The Third Regiment of tbe National Guard was In camp at Wnrrensburg and a battery fired a salute. He madv another speech to the people gathered at Holden. telling them that ho took their presence there as an Indication of a realization of the Importance of tbe campaign, and he believed It would be one of the greatest campaigns through which we had ever passed. A crowd of about 300 people greeted Mr. Bryan at Pleasant Hills, a large number of them wearing on their hats pictures of Mr. Brian, with tbe Inscription. "No Crown of Thorns, No Cross of Gold." To Mrs. Bryan was presented a large bouquet of roses. Mr. Brynn said he hoped nil of them would go Into politics this year. He considered the money question the most Important Issue of tho campaign. A number of people thought It could be settled by a few oxoerts, but he thought It should be decided by the whole people. ain. nitYAy ix kaiba3 citt. n nsi Koaalac Iteerptloa aad Addreasca tbe Multllade. Kansas Citt, July 10. -- After a long Journey through Illinois and Missouri Mr. Bryan reached Kansas City at 0:30 o'clock this evening. At Warrensburc henntor Cockrell and two recep- tion committees boarded Mr. Brian's train. A great cheer went up from tho crowd at tho Union when the train arrived. The party went to tho CoateH House, where they had dinner. At 0 o'clock Mr. Bryan ap- peared on the balcony of the hotel, and after an Introduction by Senator Cockrull, addressed the multitude. The entering when he appeared was vigorous and loug continued. When quiet had been re- stored Mr. Bryan spoke. The multitude In front of the Custom House crowded the street and sidewalks and overflowed Into side streets. Their number cannot be given with any ac- curacy, but there wero many thousands. It was the most enthusiastic and best attended meeting addressed by Mr, Bryan since his nomi- nation, and he went further Into political dis- cission than he hail done In any previous speech. Ho said In part: " I said to tho commltteo that I would not make a political speech, but In the presence of so many Interested people I am afraid that I shall be compelled to break my promise for Just a tew moments. Applause. "Wo aro coming upon a memorable cam- paign. The platform has been adopted, the great parties have placed their candidates In the field, and In a little while ou, as citizens, will be called upon todlscuss the Issues Involved, "The platform adopted at Chicago Is In my humble Judgment one of the most splendid presentations of party politics ever adopted by a national Convention In the United States. Applause. It presents those Issues which. In the Judgement of the delegates, aro paramount In this campaign. "It is a Democrattn platform In every sen- tence, word, and syllable, Applause. A Dem- ocratic platform that carries us back to the days of Its Illustrious founder, Thomas Jeffer- son, and to Its most courageous defender, An- drew Jackson. " It la pervaded with the spirit of the Decla- ration of Independenre;ltpreents tbosefunda- - mental doctrines upon which all true govern, ment mnst rest. " From time to time new questions arise, bnt the principles of the Democrats are true In all times. We simply apply to the new conditions the principles which are as eternal as tho hilts. "And In this line our platform has deolared that the paramount public qnestlon Is tbe res- toration of tho gold and sliver coinage of the Constitution, Great applause. "All other questions must stand back till this great question is solved. Thero are times, such as tho time to which we are now passing, when (he action of this nation upon Its financial policy may determine tho welfare of tha people not only of this nation, but of the world. Not only now, but for years to come. " We have reached a crisis In our monetary legislation. There arc those who would bind this nation to tho gold standard, but while there are those who would fasten a European yoke upon the neck of American freemen there aro others whoi ray that this nation shall govern Itself and make Its own laws, "In speaking with emphasis upon this sub- ject, I beg yon not to think that we who believe in frco coinage of silver at 10 to 1 lack charity for those who differ. " It Is not a campaign In which we should use bitter words. I have every respect for tho opin- ion nf those who differ from us. " Thero are men, there are great men, ther are good men, who do not agrco to the restora- tion of silver. Let us not speak of them in terms of denunciation." Mr. Bryan then spoke In terms of regret of the death of Russell, whose character he eulogized. He said: " I believe from the bottom of my heart I believe, and the belief touches every fibre In my being, that until we restore sliver to Its equal place by tho side of gold, to the placo that It occupied for so many years, so many centuries, and so many ages, there can be no lasting prosperity brought back to the homes of thoso who toll. "Tncy tell us that they want confidence re- stored. Wo tell them that confidence must have a substantial basis upon which to rest, and that so long as you legislate valuo out of prop- erty there Is nothing substantial on which con- fidence can rest. " If thev tell us they want an honest dollar, we tell them that we have every desire for an honest dollar, but when they attempt to define an honest dollar w o beg them to gtvo us a dollar which Is as kind to the man who producos wealth as It Is to tho man who holds It la In- vestment. "A dollar which Increases In value Is not an honest dollar. I want you to study this ques- tion for yourselves, and want to suggest two things for you to think about. "They tell you that the gold standard Is the standard of civilization. That Is their argu- ment. If they tell you that, let me suggest an nnswer that Is complete. If the gold standnrd Is the standard of civilization, w hy Is it that tho United States, the leader In tho civilization of tbe world, has never declared for a gold stan- dard? (Applause). "If the gold standard Is the standard of clvll-batlo- whv Is It that no national party In the history of the United States has ever declared that Inn mld MtatiHnnl ft imtil thlnrv And If the Republicans attempt to admit that a doublo stadard Is better than a single standard and tell us that this nation Is Impotent to secure it without the aid of other nations we hutl back defiance and tell them that this nation Is great enongh to legislate for lis own people without waiting for tho aid or consent of any other nation on earth. Ap- plause. Which course will thty take ? They dare not take either course. They dare not meet the Issue on the money question, because there Is no ground upon which they can stand. 'If they had declared f r the gold standard they might have advocated It. but having de- clared against the gold standard thny dare not ask the verdict of their countrymen upon thla proposition." Mr. Bryan. In closing, referred to his com- panion on the national ticket, saying: "There are sections In this country where It baa re- quired more heroism to stand out for the rights of the masses of the poople than In the West. "And I nsk ou not to forget that brave man who stands upon the ticket with me. and who away off near tho Atlantic shore has been fighting the battles of tbe common people as courageously as Bland has fought for It In Mis- souri.

No provision has been made for a speech by Bryan, but It Is hardly possible that he will fall to avail himself of the opportunity, particularly as there will be delegations here from all parts of Nebraska, Iown, Colorado, Kansas, and other States, The following organlratlons are as- signed toplaces In the prmesslcn: Itnroln Ll(ht Infantry, d Iledraent; Company r, Mbrnskiv National duard.

It Is the present Intention of tbo leading Missouri Democrats to run Silver Dick Bland for Governor of the State whether he wishes or not. When the Intention wns an- nounced several days ago Bland came out In a letter declaring that he would rather go to Con- gress and saying thnt ho did not want to be Governor. Stephens, the man who hns been slated for the Gubernatorial nomination, is re- garded by tho leaders as the weakest candidate that could be put up. nnd thoy are not at all certain that he can carry the State. Bland wants to go lo Congress an that he can fight for free coinage of silver. Hnlsliound up In silver. Tho argument thnt Is to he used to In- duce him lo take the nomination la that If he runs for C ngress ho can only carry one distrlrt and win one free-hilv- vote In Congress, white If he runs for Governor he will help ihe general ticket and can pull four or live doubtful dis- tricts over to the r oldo. .Mr. Bland, when he was In the city reiterated bis statement that he wanted to go In Congress.

The Maine delega- tion to the Chicago Circus has returned; the gold contingent weather-beate- storm-tosse- nnd sore: tho silver contingent exultant; the third element, the men elected as gold men by gold Conventions, but who could not withstand the seductive music ot the silver-tongue- d or- chestras and flopped, and now are tho loudest and wildest in tholr proclamations of tho vir- tues of tho salv atlon. Tho entire delegation save )oung Plalsted has returned. This gentleman Is going to stay and help tell Mr. Bryan ho Is nominated. Incident- ally h will doubtless remind him that his fathor. Gen. Harris M. Plnlstutl. was tho man who was once elected as a Greonback-Democr- to the Governorship of Maine. Young Plalsted wns sent ns a gold man by the gold men. but It did not take the silver band long to find a responsivo chord lu the Plalsted heart, and ho flopped. When ho gets home ho will not be serenaded by his constituents. The Maine delegation will be kept busy for some time explaining. Malno has not begun to recover frum tho shock of surprise occasioned by Sewall's nomination. Time for reflection doos not decrease tho wonder. Tho delegation wlllbensked to explain why It allowed tho nomination without protest of a man whom It had been elected to dethrone from the Natlonnl Committee, and whoso defeat waa promptlvexe-cutet- l almost as soon as Chicago was reached. The man who apparently Is responsible for Maine's acquiescence nnd assistance In Sewall's nomlnntlon Is Seth C. Gordon, tho gold Chair- man of tho delegation, and the man who him- self succeeded Sewall on tho National Commit- tee. Dr. Gordon says that he did It as a mntter of Stnte pride, though It Is difficult to see how this Is figured out, asStato prldcdid not prevent the ousting of Sewall from the committee. Dr. Gordon says that onlv five membersnf the delegation were present when the ballot for was taken. Three of these men, silver men, would have votej for Sewall any wsy. He consulted with his colleague E. I). Wlnslow, Democratic candidate for Gov-erno- r, and then, addressing tho Chair, said In effect that only part of tho Maine delegates was present, nnd that a majority of tbe delegation wns for gold nnd opposed to the views of Sewall, but as a matter of State prldo ho would cast the entire vote of tbo delegation, as a purely complimentary vote, for Mr Sewall, This he continued todo until he was nominated. Tbe Doctor goes further, and says that of the candidates named Mr. Sewall was unquestion- ably the best. Several of tho delegation did not attend the Convention, among thorn Capi. L. S. Sherman. a firm gold man. who tnys he told Gordon In the morning ho wonld not attend the Convention because ho would under no condition vote for Vlco President. Imagine his snrprlso when, with C. Vey Holman, he saw posted a bulletin saying: "Maine's entlrovotc of li! thrown for Sewall." Holman was talking to Comptroller Eckels al the time. He was Incensed, and said: "Eckels, I call you to witness that I am not Incapacitated, and perfectly able to attend the Convention If I wanted to. I will never goon record s voting for -- civ all." Rushing to the telegraph office he penned the depMch of protest to Chn'rmtn hlte, which ' has been tmbll-ht- d lie was joined In signing It by Caot. Sherman nnd T. Ooldthwaite. L. H. Deasy also approved It, but did not get a chance tO'-ig- II. It was sent nwny, but before It could be de- livered the had teen done, and the deposed committeeman from Malno wns the nominee for 1hc men nre mad clear through. As one of them expressed himself: "This nctlnn on the part of Maine exerted a tremerdous influence toward nominating Sewall.

"What do you think of Sewall' scheme for new Stnte Convention nnd silver platform 1" "Personally I consider snch a movement ab- solutely condemnnble. It would not only stultify ourselves as Individuals hut as a party, nnd entirely ilestrov the availability of the Hon. E. B. Wlnslow's candidacy for Gov- ernor. Mr. Wlnslow y occupies a most em lablo position In the esteem of nil citizens of the State for his sotmd conservatism. This renutatlon. deserved and honored, would be un- dermined completely bv a demonstration of the fnul that he could be swerved from his convic- tions to suit the shifting parly managers. "On the other hand, the Idea of his with- drawal, as suggested bv the Popultstlo leader Baleman, ought to bo met with a prompt storm of rrprobitlnn and disapproval. A Stnte Demoo-rnc- y which so forcibly expounds Its opinion nf Mr, Sewall's unsoundness In finance by the choice nf tho delegation to Chicago, nnd bv its repeated condemnation of him In the publlo prints In the recent pnst.

If the Democracy of Maine swallows Mr. Sewall at all, he should bo profoundly grateful nnd not ask them to make the mouth- ful still more unsavory." These nre but straws which show the bent of the feeling tn Maine. Here Is a situation nf a man repudiated by his party In the Stale and fired from tho National Commltteo, named for tho office of t, a President of a number nf banks bo Is pledged to destroy, director of numerous highly pro- tected Indnstrles. ex. railroad magnnto. aristo- crat, the verv antithesis of a man of the people, called to boa leader lu what Is promised by Its anarchistic godfathers to be a great "uprising of the tieople." In plain English the Convention has been fooled. Mr. Sewall Is a very respectable and exclusive member of society. He will tap no "har'ls." Ho will create no Maine enthusiasm, he will not head any uprising. If nny Malno gold Democrats am going to vote for him tbey nro not making tbemnelv es conspicuous. Ott.V, MICHAEL ItTAX ItOI.TS. AasUlnnt United Htalr Trenanrer at Cin- cinnati Can't Ml nnd the Plntrorra. ClMCiv.vATt, O.. July 10.- - Gen. Michael Ryan. Assistant United Stats Treasurer, glv es over his signature his reasons for bolting the Chicago nlatform and ticket as follows: "I do not desire to acquire any undue promi- nence by putting forward my opinions at this time. M) views on the money question aro so well known that what I will say now Is only re- iteration. I do not desire to nbuso those who differ from me by calling them Anarchists or revolutionists. I know that a great many hon- est, sincere, patriotic men believe that the free coinage of sliver will help the country. "The Convention at Chicago was a conven- tion of tho people, not controlled by cliques, rings, or bosses, and not In the least Influenced by official patronage. The majority of that Convention, which controlled Its proceedings, was composed of sturdy, honest, earnest men. whose desire was to do what they thought best for the country. A few firebrands wero on hand, but Iho great mass of the people there were conscientious In their belief. Denuncia- tion nnd vituperation, therefore, will do no good, "This Is going to be a campaign nf education. The great question Is finance, and it will be discussed and expounded ably by both sides. Ono thing is most fortunate, and that is that the great issue Is sharply defined. There Is no attempt on either side to cloud or obscure In any way. The most intelligent and patrlotlo peoplo can be depended upon to do the right thing at the right time. There is no politics in the campaign this) ear. It Is a question of what Is best for the country. We all want a restora- tion of We want to get out of the rut we have been in for three years. " Let us pass on this question, not as partisans, but ns men who love their country, whosedeslre is to see It at and prosperous once more, and . when that ts accomplished we can again divide on party llne. It is not more money that Is required. The mnne) centres of Europe aro glutted with Idle capital that has been scared away from this country by thla silver agitation. The banks of this country have any amount of money, but everybody Is afraid to Invest It In business. " It Is not from a lack of money we are suffer- - , Ing, but from a lack of confidence. Our first duty Is to restore confidence, to call back the money we have driven aw ay, even if It Is foreign capital. Let us show tho-- e foreigners that wo are honest, that we Intend to pay our debt In honest mone j. Let us gel tbe money ont of the banks and into business. Let us get tho wheels of commerce once more in motion. All this Is what wo want to accomplish, and whoever wolldnot nvvke a sacrifice of partisan feeling lo bring about such a state of affairs Is un worthy to tte called an American citizen. "Bryan Is an admirable personage and a eplen-- i did candidate, but I cannot vote for him or sup- port his platform. I will still remain a Demo. crat and hope to live to see the day when the . grand old party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Grover Clevelond, cured of running after false gods, will return to first principles and enter on a new career of prosperity and greatness." HEX. tTAIE IIA3IPTOX'S VIEWS. Ie I Ashamed of Tillman and of the Per- formance at Chleaeo. DE"tvr.n. July 10. Gen. Wado Hampton of South Carolina, United States Commissioner of Railroads, has arrived in the city on a toor of inspection of the Union Pacific system. "In the political situation." he said. " things could not be worse. This man Tillman has suc- ceeded In securing a following which enabled him to represent South Carolina at the Conven- tion, and he really thought when be went there that he would be the choice of the party as the Presidential nominee. He stands on the plat- form adopted by tho Southern Populists at Ocala, F'a., which favors the scheme. " It Is a great misfortune for South Carolina to bo represented by such a man. I suppose they will carry the State for Bryan, because they have control of the election machinery and havo in force laws which give them arbitrary power to disfranchise the negro vote, I am greatly distressed at the turn of political af- fairs, and 1 am afraid it will be productive of great suffering. "The Chicago Convention declared against the issue of more bonds while the gold reserve Is gradually being depleted. The Admlnistra. tlnn may take the ground that It will not Issue more bonds for tbe purpose of keeping up the reserve on account of this declaration of the Chicago Convention. If It should and tho drain upon tbe guld In the Treasury should con- tinue, the result would be that th country would he placed upon a silver basis before the election." (ieu. Hampton rays a gold Democratlo ticket would mean the election of McKlnley. Nearly alltho newspapers of the South favor another ticket and strongly oppose the radical measures set forth In the I hlcago plutfortn. He strongly condemns tho violent abuse of the President In the Western press, and predicts a financial cri- sis as a result of this campaign.

The Reform Clnb In That City Bolt th llrj-a- TUket, Bowow, July 10. Nearly 100 member of th Massachusetts Reform Clnb dined at tbe Parker House thla afternoon. The main object of tho gathering waa to consider tho present polltlral situation. Col. E. B. Haskell ot the Boston lltrabl presided. Among thoso present were Edward Atkinson, Collector Warren. Henry W. Lamb, President of the New England Free Trade League: Archibald Howe, R- - H. Dana, Robert Treat Paine. Representative J. J. Myers, Jabez Fox. Gamaliel Bradford, Dana Estes, and Andrew Flsk. Col. Haskell opened the apeak-In- and said 1n his .speech, speaking of th money Issue: "To prevent national disaster and dishonor I am willing to aet aside all tbo other questions In this campaign, Applause. As firmly as I believe in free trade, and tbe nearest attainable approach to free trade. I am willing to hold this question in abeyance. Foolish and unjust as I believe protection to be, I recognize th fact that this country can adjnst Itself to almost any tariff. But It cannot adjust itself to a de- based and fluctuating currency. A protective tariff only places an unnecessary burden on tho back of labor. A debased currency poisons It life blood and destroys Its strength, Loud ap- plause. "I only speak my own sentiments. It Is for this club to decide what it will do in this crisis. I do not exactly know what are the require- ments of membership of the Reform Clnb. I shall be astonished If any man can remain a member In good standing while he counsels na- tional dishonor. Prolonged applause. We may have charity for men with fads, even tor cranks who mean well, bnt we shonld draw the line at theft, and repudiation of honest debts." Great applause. Henry W. Lamb gave his experiences at the Chicago Convention, wblther be went as th representative of tbe club to act In conjunction with a committee of of the Reform Clnb of New York. Ho recommended tbatthe club take such n:tlon as would ntlllze all Its Influence , for the defeat of the Democratlo ticket as representing repudiation. dishonor. and ' rnln, but that such action should accord with any that might be taken by th sound- - X. money Democratsof thecentral Western States. yB Upon his advice the Executive Committee was authorized to increase its number and act as a campaign committee. In harmony with the Re- form club of New York and the Democratlo sound-mone- y movement In Illinois. One thou- - sand dollars was appropriated as a nucleus of a campaign fund. Dana Eestes gave notice of an amendment to tbe constitution by which memb-r- s of the club, wbo, by their political action or other- wise, have betrayed its principles, may be ex- pelled. This notice was understood tn be due to the action of the Hon. George Fred Williams. a member of the clnb. Archibald Howe presented the following resolution, which waa unanimously adopted with cheers: "That the Massachusetts Reform Clnb ha always sympathized with the financial policy of Grover Cleveltena and will not support a candi- date or a platform which repudiates it and him, but recommends all Independent voters to take an active part In the national campaign against the free coinage of silver by supporting ssch B candidates for Preslcent and national represent- - i atlves as are pledged to maintain the gold stand- - a ard." H Edward Atkinson congratulated the clnb I on tbe assurance of the triumph of the I cause of good government and sound finance. I Tho meeting closed with an address by Col- - ft lector Warren. In wblch be declared that If tho IE platform of the late Chicago Convention was Democracy h waa not a Democrat. The Executive Committee of the Young Men's Democratic Club of Massachusetts mat and took action with regard to the Chicago platform, practically calling for a bolt of the ticket. The general feeling or tbe member of the committee was that a third ticket should be placed in the field. The following resolutions were passed by the committee: "As Ihe declarations of the Convention re- cently held In Chicago are in direct violation of I principles declared and often reaffirmed by the H Young Men's Democratic Club of Maasachn. nVL setts, therefore be it Cj " Rewired, That we adhere to the principles T heretofore asserted by this Young Men's Demo, cratlo Clnb of Massachusetts as essentially thoae of tho Democratic party."

IMayor of the town a man named Silver, Laugh-ter and cheers. Thomas Jefferson. Dick Bland,Bll IStone, and Mayor Silver? I'm t home here.'

Referring to Mr. Bland, Sir. Bryan said thattho silver leader was Reeded In Congress. "ItIt will not be his prlvllego to sign n bill givingsilver a placo with gold," said Mr. Bryan, "itmay be his honor to Introduco a hill which willplace gold and silver on tho same footing at thelegal ratio of 10 to 1. If I can't say anythingabout the ticket nominated at Chicago, I cansay that tho platform breathes tho spirit of thoDeclaration of Independence"

"I'm very glad of the chance to see that thename of your town Is taken from the Statewhere silver Is strong. Bnt I am hopeful thatnot only In California but from the Atlantic tothe Pacific coast the silver sentlmont Is going tosweep the country. Reports from the old BayState Indicate that wben the silver question Isas well discussed there as It has been here thesilver sentiment will be as strong there as It IsIn California and Missouri."

Heard of Missouri andCharles Van Antwerp, a cousin of Mr. Bryan's,Joined the party at California.

At Tipton, where a couple of hundred peoplecheered tho nominee, Mr. Bryan availed himselfof the opportunity afforded by the presence ofan enterprising young man with a kodak to de-

liver a sentiment on that Instrument."Next to the Democratic form of Govern-

ment." he said, "the kodak Is the thins wemost love." Of course tho crowd laughed. Mr.Bryan made no remarks at Tipton, but shookhands with the people.

" In no other country are w e able to see sucha sight as Is witnessed here. In no othercivilized country can It be so truly said that theGovernment so Justly derive their powers fromthe consent of the people. Here tbe peoplegovern.

" All power rests with them. It Is the greatestrorm of government conceived In tho mind ofman. and when I see this assemblage on suchan occasion. ! can not but feel the gratificationwe all should have.

" Parties," continued Mr. Bryan. " are but theInstruments by which we carry out those poli-cies which we believe In."

Mr. Bryan again complimented Mr. Bland.He begged his auditors to make their ballotsexpress exactly what they wished, and con-cluded with this remark:

" I don't want anj body to think that by vot-ing for me ther are going to get their hands insomebody else's pockets, I will be satisfied If Ikeep tho hands of other people out of theirpockets."

Cheers and cries of "That's It."Mrs. Bryan appeared on tbe platform Just

tbe Multllade.Kansas Citt, July 10. --After a long Journey

through Illinois and Missouri Mr. Bryan reachedKansas City at 0:30 o'clock this evening. AtWarrensburc henntor Cockrell and two recep-tion committees boarded Mr. Brian's train.

A great cheer went up from tho crowd at thoUnion when the train arrived.

The party went to tho CoateH House, wherethey had dinner. At 0 o'clock Mr. Bryan ap-

peared on the balcony of the hotel, and after anIntroduction by Senator Cockrull, addressedthe multitude.

The entering when he appeared was vigorousand loug continued. When quiet had been re-

stored Mr. Bryan spoke. The multitude In frontof the Custom House crowded the street andsidewalks and overflowed Into side streets.

Their number cannot be given with any ac-

curacy, but there wero many thousands. Itwas the most enthusiastic and best attendedmeeting addressed by Mr, Bryan since his nomi-nation, and he went further Into political dis-cission than he hail done In any previousspeech. Ho said In part:

" I said to tho commltteo that I would notmake a political speech, but In the presence ofso many Interested people I am afraid that Ishall be compelled to break my promise for Justa tew moments. Applause.

"Wo aro coming upon a memorable cam-paign. The platform has been adopted, thegreat parties have placed their candidates Inthe field, and In a little while ou, as citizens,will be called upon todlscuss the Issues Involved,

"The platform adopted at Chicago Is In myhumble Judgment one of the most splendidpresentations of party politics ever adopted bya national Convention In the United States.Applause. It presents those Issues which. In

the Judgement of the delegates, aro paramountIn this campaign.

"It is a Democrattn platform In every sen-tence, word, and syllable, Applause. A Dem-ocratic platform that carries us back to thedays of Its Illustrious founder, Thomas Jeffer-son, and to Its most courageous defender, An-drew Jackson.

" It la pervaded with the spirit of the Decla-ration of Independenre;ltpreents tbosefunda- -

mental doctrines upon which all true govern,ment mnst rest.

" From time to time new questions arise, bntthe principles of the Democrats are true In alltimes. We simply apply to the new conditionsthe principles which are as eternal as tho hilts.

"And In this line our platform has deolaredthat the paramount public qnestlon Is tbe res-

toration of tho gold and sliver coinage of theConstitution, Great applause.

"All other questions must stand back till thisgreat question is solved. Thero are times, suchas tho time to which we are now passing, when(he action of this nation upon Its financialpolicy may determine tho welfare of tha peoplenot only of this nation, but of the world. Notonly now, but for years to come.

" We have reached a crisis In our monetarylegislation. There arc those who would bindthis nation to tho gold standard, but whilethere are those who would fasten aEuropean yoke upon the neck of Americanfreemen there aro others whoi ray that thisnation shall govern Itself and make Its ownlaws,

"In speaking with emphasis upon this sub-ject, I beg yon not to think that we who believein frco coinage of silver at 10 to 1 lack charityfor those who differ.

" It Is not a campaign In which we should usebitter words. I have every respect for tho opin-ion nf those who differ from us.

" Thero are men, there are great men, therare good men, who do not agrco to the restora-tion of silver. Let us not speak of them interms of denunciation."

Mr. Bryan then spoke In terms of regret ofthe death of Russell, whose characterhe eulogized. He said:

" I believe from the bottom of my heart Ibelieve, and the belief touches every fibre Inmy being, that until we restore sliverto Its equal place by tho side of gold, tothe placo that It occupied for so many years, somany centuries, and so many ages, there can beno lasting prosperity brought back to the homesof thoso who toll.

"Tncy tell us that they want confidence re-

stored. Wo tell them that confidence musthave a substantial basis upon which to rest, andthat so long as you legislate valuo out of prop-erty there Is nothing substantial on which con-fidence can rest.

" If thev tell us they want an honest dollar,we tell them that we have every desire for anhonest dollar, but when they attempt to definean honest dollar w o beg them to gtvo us a dollarwhich Is as kind to the man who producoswealth as It Is to tho man who holds It la In-

vestment."A dollar which Increases In value Is not an

honest dollar. I want you to study this ques-tion for yourselves, and want to suggest twothings for you to think about.

"They tell you that the gold standard Is thestandard of civilization. That Is their argu-ment. If they tell you that, let me suggest annnswer that Is complete. If the gold standnrdIs the standard of civilization, w hy Is it that thoUnited States, the leader In tho civilization oftbe world, has never declared for a gold stan-dard? (Applause).

"If the gold standard Is the standard of clvll-batlo-

whv Is It that no national party In thehistory of the United States has ever declaredthat Inn mld MtatiHnnl ft imtil thlnrv

And If the Republicans attempt to admit thata doublo stadard Is better than a single standardand tell us that this nation Is Impotent tosecure it without the aid of othernations we hutl back defiance and tell themthat this nation Is great enongh to legislate forlis own people without waiting for tho aid orconsent of any other nation on earth. Ap-plause.

Which course will thty take ? They darenot take either course. They dare not meetthe Issue on the money question, because thereIs no ground upon which they can stand.

'If they had declared f r the gold standardthey might have advocated It. but having de-clared against the gold standard thny dare notask the verdict of their countrymen upon thlaproposition."

Mr. Bryan. In closing, referred to his com-panion on the national ticket, saying: "Thereare sections In this country where It baa re-quired more heroism to stand out for the rightsof the masses of the poople than In the West.

"And I nsk ou not to forget that brave manwho stands upon the ticket with me. and whoaway off near tho Atlantic shore has beenfighting the battles of tbe common people ascourageously as Bland has fought for It In Mis-souri. Great applause

When Mr. Bryan hid finished he retired tothe lobby of the hotel, where a nubile receptionwas held lasting until a lato hour, thousands ofpeople paielDg beforo hlui.

PonTI-AX- Me., July 10. The Maine delega-tion to the Chicago Circus has returned; thegold contingent weather-beate- storm-tosse-

nnd sore: tho silver contingent exultant; thethird element, the men elected as gold men bygold Conventions, but who could not withstandthe seductive music ot the silver-tongue- d or-

chestras and flopped, and now are tho loudestand wildest in tholr proclamations of tho vir-tues of tho

salv atlon.Tho entire delegation save )oung Plalsted has

returned. This gentleman Is going to stay andhelp tell Mr. Bryan ho Is nominated. Incident-ally h will doubtless remind him that hisfathor. Gen. Harris M. Plnlstutl. was tho manwho was once elected as a Greonback-Democr-

to the Governorship of Maine.Young Plalsted wns sent ns a gold man by the

gold men. but It did not take the silver bandlong to find a responsivo chord lu the Plalstedheart, and ho flopped. When ho gets home howill not be serenaded by his constituents.

The Maine delegation will be kept busy forsome time explaining. Malno has not begun torecover frum tho shock of surprise occasionedby Sewall's nomination. Time for reflectiondoos not decrease tho wonder. Tho delegationwlllbensked to explain why It allowed thonomination without protest of a man whom Ithad been elected to dethrone from the NatlonnlCommittee, and whoso defeat waa promptlvexe-cutet- l

almost as soon as Chicago was reached.The man who apparently Is responsible for

Maine's acquiescence nnd assistance In Sewall'snomlnntlon Is Seth C. Gordon, tho gold Chair-man of tho delegation, and the man who him-self succeeded Sewall on tho National Commit-tee. Dr. Gordon says that he did It as a mntterof Stnte pride, though It Is difficult to see howthis Is figured out, asStato prldcdid not preventthe ousting of Sewall from the committee.

Dr. Gordon says that onlv five membersnf thedelegation were present when the ballot for

was taken. Three of these men,silver men, would have votej for Sewall anywsy. He consulted with his colleague E.I). Wlnslow, Democratic candidate for Gov-erno- r,

and then, addressing tho Chair, saidIn effect that only part of tho Mainedelegates was present, nnd that a majority oftbe delegation wns for gold nnd opposed to theviews of Sewall, but as a matter of State prldoho would cast the entire vote of tbo delegation,as a purely complimentary vote, for Mr Sewall,This he continued todo until he was nominated.Tbe Doctor goes further, and says that of thecandidates named Mr. Sewall was unquestion-ably the best.

Several of tho delegation did not attend theConvention, among thorn Capi. L. S. Sherman.a firm gold man. who tnys he told Gordon In themorning ho wonld not attend the Conventionbecause ho would under no condition vote forVlco President. Imagine his snrprlso when,with C. Vey Holman, he saw posted a bulletinsaying: "Maine's entlrovotc of li! thrown forSewall." Holman was talking to ComptrollerEckels al the time. He was Incensed, and said:

"Eckels, I call you to witness that I am notIncapacitated, and perfectly able to attend theConvention If I wanted to. I will never goonrecord s voting for -- civ all."

Rushing to the telegraph office he penned thedepMch of protest to Chn'rmtn hlte, which '

has been tmbll-ht- d lie was joined In signingIt by Caot. Sherman nnd T. Ooldthwaite. L. H.Deasy also approved It, but did not get a chancetO'-ig- II.

It was sent nwny, but before It could be de-livered the had teen done, and thedeposed committeeman from Malno wns thenominee for 1hc men nremad clear through. As one of them expressedhimself:

"This nctlnn on the part of Maine exerteda tremerdous influence toward nominatingSewall. The Convention did not under-stand Dr. Gordons so.cnlled 'complimentaryvote' at all.

" In regard lo the National Convtntinn whichhas Just blown itself out I utn proud nf inyreccmi In standing with the representa-tives of ever) At antic senhoiid -- tate northof the Potomac In united protest againstthe revolutionary declaration of tirim Iplcsformulated by 'llllman.

"Tillman realized the truth In all itsnakedness when he declared th Issue

a sectloual one, and no one conversant with thsituation at Chicago will be daclvd for a

moment Into thinking otherwise by tha entirelyaccidental selection of candidates representingIn residence the East and Weal."

"What do you think of Sewall' scheme fornew Stnte Convention nnd silver platform 1"

"Personally I consider snch a movement ab-solutely condemnnble. It would not onlystultify ourselves as Individuals hut as aparty, nnd entirely ilestrov the availability ofthe Hon. E. B. Wlnslow's candidacy for Gov-ernor. Mr. Wlnslow y occupies a mostem lablo position In the esteem of nil citizens ofthe State for his sotmd conservatism. Thisrenutatlon. deserved and honored, would be un-dermined completely bv a demonstration of thefnul that he could be swerved from his convic-tions to suit the shifting parly managers.

"On the other hand, the Idea of his with-drawal, as suggested bv the Popultstlo leaderBaleman, ought to bo met with a prompt stormof rrprobitlnn and disapproval. A Stnte Demoo-rnc- y

which so forcibly expounds Its opinion nfMr, Sewall's unsoundness In finance by thechoice nf tho delegation to Chicago, nnd bv itsrepeated condemnation of him In the publloprints In the recent pnst. Is hardly In aframe of mind to credibly receive nn Invita-tion to meet again In Slate Convention torepudlnto Its settled views already expressed,to aid tho future polltlHal fortunes of ArthurSewall. If the Democracy of Maine swallowsMr. Sewall at all, he should bo profoundlygrateful nnd not ask them to make the mouth-ful still more unsavory."

These nre but straws which show the bent ofthe feeling tn Maine. Here Is a situation nf aman repudiated by his party In the Staleand fired from tho National Commltteo,named for tho office of t,

a President of a number nf banks bo Is pledgedto destroy, director of numerous highly pro-tected Indnstrles. ex. railroad magnnto. aristo-crat, the verv antithesis of a man of the people,called to boa leader lu what Is promised by Itsanarchistic godfathers to be a great "uprisingof the tieople."

In plain English the Convention has beenfooled. Mr. Sewall Is a very respectable andexclusive member of society. He will tap no"har'ls." Ho will create no Maine enthusiasm,he will not head any uprising. If nny Malnogold Democrats am going to vote for him tbeynro not making tbemnelv es conspicuous.

Ott.V, MICHAEL ItTAX ItOI.TS.

AasUlnnt United Htalr Trenanrer at Cin-cinnati Can't Ml nnd the Plntrorra.

ClMCiv.vATt, O.. July 10.- - Gen. Michael Ryan.Assistant United Stats Treasurer,glv es over his signature his reasons for boltingthe Chicago nlatform and ticket as follows:

"I do not desire to acquire any undue promi-nence by putting forward my opinions at thistime. M) views on the money question aro sowell known that what I will say now Is only re-

iteration. I do not desire to nbuso those whodiffer from me by calling them Anarchists orrevolutionists. I know that a great many hon-est, sincere, patriotic men believe that the freecoinage of sliver will help the country.

"The Convention at Chicago was a conven-tion of tho people, not controlled by cliques,rings, or bosses, and not In the least Influencedby official patronage. The majority of thatConvention, which controlled Its proceedings,was composed of sturdy, honest, earnest men.whose desire was to do what they thought bestfor the country. A few firebrands wero onhand, but Iho great mass of the people therewere conscientious In their belief. Denuncia-tion nnd vituperation, therefore, will do no good,

"This Is going to be a campaign nf education.The great question Is finance, and it will bediscussed and expounded ably by both sides.Ono thing is most fortunate, and that is thatthe great issue Is sharply defined. There Is noattempt on either side to cloud or obscure Inany way. The most intelligent and patrlotlopeoplo can be depended upon to do the rightthing at the right time. There is no politics inthe campaign this) ear. It Is a question of whatIs best for the country. We all want a restora-tion of We want to get out of the rutwe have been in for three years.

" Let us pass on this question, not as partisans,but ns men who love their country, whosedeslreis to see It at and prosperous once more, and .when that ts accomplished we can again divideon party llne. It is not more money that Isrequired. The mnne) centres of Europe aroglutted with Idle capital that has been scaredaway from this country by thla silver agitation.The banks of this country have any amount ofmoney, but everybody Is afraid to Invest It Inbusiness.

" It Is not from a lack of money we are suffer- - ,

Ing, but from a lack of confidence. Our firstduty Is to restore confidence, to call back themoney we have driven aw ay, even if It Is foreigncapital. Let us show tho-- e foreigners that woare honest, that we Intend to pay our debt Inhonest mone j . Let us gel tbe money ont of thebanks and into business. Let us get tho wheelsof commerce once more in motion. All this Iswhat wo want to accomplish, and whoeverwolldnot nvvke a sacrifice of partisan feelinglo bring about such a state of affairs Is unworthy to tte called an American citizen."Bryan Is an admirable personage and a eplen-- idid candidate, but I cannot vote for him or sup-port his platform. I will still remain a Demo.crat and hope to live to see the day when the

. grand old party of Jefferson, Jackson, andGrover Clevelond, cured of running after falsegods, will return to first principles and enter ona new career of prosperity and greatness."

HEX. tTAIE IIA3IPTOX'S VIEWS.

Ie I Ashamed of Tillman and of the Per-formance at Chleaeo.

DE"tvr.n. July 10. Gen. Wado Hampton ofSouth Carolina, United States Commissioner ofRailroads, has arrived in the city on a toorof inspection of the Union Pacific system.

"In the political situation." he said. " thingscould not be worse. This man Tillman has suc-ceeded In securing a following which enabledhim to represent South Carolina at the Conven-tion, and he really thought when be went therethat he would be the choice of the party as thePresidential nominee. He stands on the plat-form adopted by tho Southern Populists atOcala, F'a., which favors thescheme.

" It Is a great misfortune for South Carolina tobo represented by such a man. I suppose theywill carry the State for Bryan, because theyhave control of the election machinery andhavo in force laws which give them arbitrarypower to disfranchise the negro vote, I amgreatly distressed at the turn of political af-fairs, and 1 am afraid it will be productive ofgreat suffering.

"The Chicago Convention declared againstthe issue of more bonds while the gold reserveIs gradually being depleted. The Admlnistra.tlnn may take the ground that It will not Issuemore bonds for tbe purpose of keeping up thereserve on account of this declaration of theChicago Convention. If It should and thodrain upon tbe guld In the Treasury should con-tinue, the result would be that th countrywould he placed upon a silver basis before theelection."

(ieu. Hampton rays a gold Democratlo ticketwould mean the election of McKlnley. Nearlyalltho newspapers of the South favor anotherticket and strongly oppose the radical measuresset forth In the I hlcago plutfortn. He stronglycondemns tho violent abuse of the President Inthe Western press, and predicts a financial cri-sis as a result of this campaign.

The Reform Clnb In That City Bolt thllrj-a- TUket,

Bowow, July 10. Nearly 100 member of thMassachusetts Reform Clnb dined at tbe ParkerHouse thla afternoon. The main object of thogathering waa to consider tho present polltlralsituation. Col. E. B. Haskell ot the Bostonlltrabl presided. Among thoso present wereEdward Atkinson, Collector Warren. Henry W.Lamb, President of the New England FreeTrade League: Archibald Howe, R- - H. Dana,Robert Treat Paine. Representative J. J. Myers,Jabez Fox. Gamaliel Bradford, Dana Estes, andAndrew Flsk. Col. Haskell opened the apeak-In-

and said 1n his .speech, speaking of thmoney Issue:

"To prevent national disaster and dishonor Iam willing to aet aside all tbo other questionsIn this campaign, Applause. As firmly as I

believe in free trade, and tbe nearest attainableapproach to free trade. I am willing to holdthis question in abeyance. Foolish and unjustas I believe protection to be, I recognize thfact that this country can adjnst Itself to almostany tariff. But It cannot adjust itself to a de-

based and fluctuating currency. A protectivetariff only places an unnecessary burden on thoback of labor. A debased currency poisons It

life blood and destroys Its strength, Loud ap-

plause."I only speak my own sentiments. It Is for

this club to decide what it will do in this crisis.I do not exactly know what are the require-ments of membership of the Reform Clnb. I

shall be astonished If any man can remain amember In good standing while he counsels na-

tional dishonor. Prolonged applause. Wemay have charity for men with fads, even torcranks who mean well, bnt we shonld draw theline at theft, and repudiation of honest debts."Great applause.Henry W. Lamb gave his experiences at the

Chicago Convention, wblther be went as threpresentative of tbe club to act In conjunctionwith a committee of of the Reform Clnb of NewYork. Ho recommended tbatthe club take suchn:tlon as would ntlllze all Its Influence

, for the defeat of the Democratlo ticket asrepresenting repudiation. dishonor. and

' rnln, but that such action should accordwith any that might be taken by th sound- - X.money Democratsof thecentral Western States. yBUpon his advice the Executive Committee wasauthorized to increase its number and act as acampaign committee. In harmony with the Re-form club of New York and the Democratlosound-mone- y movement In Illinois. One thou- -sand dollars was appropriated as a nucleus of acampaign fund.

Dana Eestes gave notice of an amendmentto tbe constitution by which memb-r- s of theclub, wbo, by their political action or other-wise, have betrayed its principles, may be ex-pelled. This notice was understood tn be dueto the action of the Hon. George Fred Williams.a member of the clnb.

Archibald Howe presented the followingresolution, which waa unanimously adoptedwith cheers:

"That the Massachusetts Reform Clnb haalways sympathized with the financial policy ofGrover Cleveltena and will not support a candi-date or a platform which repudiates it and him,but recommends all Independent voters to takean active part In the national campaign againstthe free coinage of silver by supporting ssch Bcandidates for Preslcent and national represent- - iatlves as are pledged to maintain the gold stand- - aard." H

Edward Atkinson congratulated the clnb Ion tbe assurance of the triumph of the Icause of good government and sound finance. ITho meeting closed with an address by Col- - ftlector Warren. In wblch be declared that If tho IEplatform of the late Chicago Convention wasDemocracy h waa not a Democrat.

The Executive Committee of the Young Men'sDemocratic Club of Massachusetts matand took action with regard to the Chicagoplatform, practically calling for a bolt of theticket. The general feeling or tbe member ofthe committee was that a third ticket shouldbe placed in the field. The following resolutionswere passed by the committee:

"As Ihe declarations of the Convention re-cently held In Chicago are in direct violation of I

principles declared and often reaffirmed by the HYoung Men's Democratic Club of Maasachn. nVLsetts, therefore be it Cj" Rewired, That we adhere to the principles Theretofore asserted by this Young Men's Demo,cratlo Clnb of Massachusetts as essentiallythoae of tho Democratic party."
