Aug. 21.-Cornelius Vanderbllt continues to Improve In health, and if ho shows no eign of relapse he will be taken abroad in September as soon as he ha3 witnessed the marriage of his daughter Miss Gertrude. It is possible Mr. Vanderbilt will be a truest on board the biff steam yacht Valiant, owned by his brother. William K. Vanderbilt, who every winter goes on a cruise to the Mediterranean. The objective point of next winter's trip will be southern Italy, where the Vanderbilts will probably take a vi'la. Mrs. Vanderbilt nd her younger" daughter, Gladys, will accompany her husband, the two sons, Al fred and Reginald, remaining In this coun try at college. If the climate and change agree with Mr. Vanderbilt he may remain abroad for a year or more. The preparations for the marriage of Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt and Harrv Payne vvnuney are being quietly carried on. Presents of great value are being received at the prospective bride's home. To-day a local express office received Dackatres of Jewels valued at $23.(n0, all marked for Miss Vanderbilt. Two carefully guarded trunks of silverware, consigned from a rsew lork silversmith, also arrived In Newport to-day and were delivered at "The Breakers." Miss Vanderbilt has re ceived a few Intimate girl friends at her home, and they were allowed to Inspect many of the handsome gifts. Bracelets are again coming in fashion, and already a half dozen of these ornaments have been sent to her, all set with costly stones. Miss Vanderbilt has also received a number of jeweled side combs for the hair. Many cf me weaning presents win come from abroad, as Miss Vanderbllt's aunt. Mrs. W. D.

Ilia Presence There the Baals of Un warranted Bond Issue Humors. NEW YORK. Aug. 21. The presence of Secretary Carlisle down town to-day and a conference he had with Mr. Bacon, of J. M. Morgan & Co., caused some talk about the posslbilty of another bond issue. Mr. Carlisle called at the subtreasury early In the day and saw Mr. Muhleman. who, In Mr. Jordan's absence, is acting as as sistant treasurer. Then he went down to the custom house. This afternoon he called again at the subtreasury and was In consultation for some time with Mr. Bacon and Mr. Muhleman. After Mr. Carlisle left the treasury this afternoon Mr. Muhleman said that the Secretary had merely called In there on his way to Washington and that his visit had no special significance: that he had not discussed anything or said anything that was a matter ror public interest.

GOSSIP ADOPT 3FKIXLEYS C03IING LETTER OF ACCEPTAXCE. He Will Muke It Public Xext Week, nnd There Will lie No Ambiguity In Any Part of Its Contents. FINANCE WILL BE A FEATURE AXD THE XOMIXEE WILL DECLARE V XK QL'IVOCALLY FOR GOLD. Facts Concerning the Much Adver tised Sliver Club Recently Organised at McKlnley Home. PITTSBURG, Aug. 21,-The Canton cor respondent of the Dispatch says: Major McKlnley to-day received from the printer the last proof sheets of his forthcoming letter of acceptance. This letter will prove a sur prise to those silver leaders who have been Insinuating all along that Major McKlnley is loath to speak out his convictions on the currency question. If his many front-porch speeches here, in which he has repeatedly declared himself In favor of the honest dol lar, are not enough, his letter of acceptance will put a stop forever to all further doubts as to Major McKlnley's position. The letter of acceptance will contain a complete and comprehensive discussion of the currency question. Major McKlnley will state therein just why he believes in the maintenance of the gold standard at the present time, and why he is convinced that the free, and unlimited coinage of sil ver at the ratio of 1$ to 1 would at this t:me result In untold disaster to the people of the United States. The letter will be clear, logical and filled with those pithy, cplgrammatlcal sentences for which Major McKlnley is rapidly becoming famous. Heavy figures of speech will be lacking. and the sometimes obscure vocabulary of finance will be avoided wherever it is pos sible to do so. Without sacrificing his splendid literary style. Major McKlnley will clothe his views in language that the lowliest citizen can readily understand. Placed beside Bryan's 'Madison-square Garden speech. Major McKlnley's letter will readily demonstrate the fallacy of the Boy Orator's" doctrines. The letter will speak unequivocally for gold and condemn In most emphatic terms the free coinage of silver as proposed to-day. It will be of absorbing interest for many reasons. As Major McKlnley has, as has been stated, definitely decided to remain In Canton during the campaign. It will be the only opportunity he will have to go before the country in a Ions and detailed discussion of the issues of the hour. Furthermore, it will be the first time Major McKlnley has discussed these issues at any great length since the St. Louis convention, or, in fact, since he was prominently mentioned as a candidate for President. In the face of some criticism Major Mc Klnley has preserved his dignity and has seen proper to wait a fittting time before placing himself before the people in a de tailed discussion of the Issues set forth in the St. Louis platform. Now that the proper time has arrived, no one, after reading what he has to say in his letter, can find room for doubt as to where Major McKlnley stands. His arguments In fa vor of the gold standard will prove the most exhaustive and convincing of any that "have sprung from the lips or ema nated from the pen of an American states man during the last thirty years. The rea soning In the document will be profound and It will not fall to Inspire the greatest confidence. Not only will the currency question be set forth in this most elaborate manner. but the tariff issue will be placed before the people as only Major McKlnley is able to present it. He will show In plainest terms the responsibility which the Wilson bill must assume for the hard times, and will clearly demonstrate the close connnectlon which the tariff holds to the welfare of tho working people as well as the business men. Not only will these two questions be widely discussed, but not a single plank In the St. Louis platform will be neglected. It will probably be the most complete and saUsfactory letter of acceptance that any presidential candidate has ever given to the people. It will be given to the public early next week. It will thus appear before Mr. Bryan s letter of acceptance, and in Its completeness in accepting and indorsing the entire &t. louis piatrorm will prove, while such may not be intended by Major McKlnley. a tacit challenge for Mr. Bryan to come out In his letter and with equal firmness make his position clear, not only on the currency question, but on the Populistlc. socialistic and anarchistic phases of the Chicago platform. In fact, it is scarcely probable that Mr. Bryan, after Major McKlnley's letter has been published, will be able to ignore, as he did In Nev York, these features of the platform on which he stands. GROSS EXAGGERATION. Facts IteKnrdiug the .Silver Club Or ganized at Canton. CANTON, O.. Aug. 21.-Sheriff Hiram Doll sent the following letter to-day to Captain Dick Walker, of Kansas, In reply to a letter published by a press association having been sent from Canton and giving reports about the political situation in Mc Klnley's home county; "Dear Sir-The silver club in Canton. about which you write, is composed of Pop ulists ana Democrats, ana the leading Democrats of the city are not in It. The exRcpubllcan mentioned ns president. Colonel Holloway. wa one of the most enthusiastic McKlnley men In the city, and during the great jollification meetings here after the St. Louis convention rode at the head of each procession, escorting the various dele gations to Governor McKlnley's house. He was an aspirant for chief marshal of the escort club, but failed of election. Immediately after that he turned over to the op position. "The sliver club, at Its organization, was only claimed to have a membership of 2(0 or 20 upon the statements of its officials to the reporters of the press associations. When it is rememlered that Stark county has a population of nearly 10o.0x and this city nearly 40,000. the magnitude of the club does not appear very great. Comparatively speaking, a sound-money nonpartisan railroad club in this city, composed largely of Democrats as well as Republicans, signed ."m) members the night of the organization. The same night the McKlnley marching club was organized with 1.000 members. A poll of the precinct that Major McKlnley has lived In since his return from Columbus, which has always been a Democratic precinct, out of ?A0 voters polled, shows McKlnley 1K. Bryan FA a Republican gain over the combined Bryan vote, including Populists and Democrats, of seventy-four in a single precinct. The precinct in which Major McKlnley lived before he went to Columbus is two to one for McKlnley. "The opinion prevails here and the circumstances Justify the assertion that the organization of the Bryan Silver Club here the week before Mr. Bryan was advertised to pass through this city, McKlnley's home, was a part and parcel of a premeditated programme on the part of tho national Bryan managers to make It appear that there was a lare iWectlon at McKlnley's home, it being an effort to counteract the polls of Lincoln. Neb., .Mr. Bryan's home. which have shown that Mr. Bryan will lose his precinct, ward, city and county by overwhelming pluralities. The Republican party of Canton and Stark county is enthusiastically for sound money as well as protection. The Bryan Silver Club organized with

less of a membership than Mr. Coxey's army started with on its march from Massillon to Washington. Canton being his first stopping place, Carl Browne. Coxey's lieutenant and son-in-law. belnc the most conspicuous Populist leader now." The following telegrams were received by ex-Governor McKlnley to-day: From Anderson, I nd.

Republican Are Posting Ihcinsclvc on the Pnnncl.il Question. WASHINGTON, Aug, 21. Chairman Babcock returned from Nsav York to-day. Ho had a conference with Chairman Hanna, of the national committee, yesterday and feels very well satlsfiejl with the result of the campaign thus far. He says that Mr. Hanna reports everything in good shape and the work of the campaign progressing very satisfactorily. Mr. Babcock says the congressional campaign committee is In daily receipt of information tending to show the successful work of the committee in sending out literature. He says tho reports show the people very anxious to read the documents which are having good effect in arming the Republicans so that tl.ey can meet all arguments of the Democrats. "Our object," said he, "is not so nuch to make proselytes in sending out tlis literature, but to arm our own people, so that they be informed and ready in arguments. One man writes me that he has distributed 300 doctiments we sent him and that these documents have won over sixty voters to the Republican cause." Chairman Babcock had a call to-day from a friend who had wheeled all the way from Chicago to New York and then to Washington. The young man is the son of a Republican leader in Chicago and he took an interest In the political situation in the various States through which he passed. He told Mr. Babcock that he found the Republicans united and solid In Indiana. The same condition existed in northern Ohio, but in the southern part of the State he found considerable silver sentiment among the Republicans. In Delaware and New Jersey the Republicans said they were sure to win. In western New York he found a good deal of silver talk even among Republicans. Upon the whole he reports the outlook very favorable. Chairman Hnnimn Visitors. NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Chairman Hanna's callers at Republican national headquarters to-day included ex-Congressman G. C. Hazelton, of Washington, Wm. II. Parry, city controller of Seattle, Wash., committeeman F. S. Gibbs, of this city, and Wilbur F. Wakeman. of the American Protective Tariff Association. Mr. Hazelton has Just made a tour of New England, where he found, as he told Mr. Hanna, that farmers and artisans were generally with the Republicans on the currency issue and will voto for McKlnley and llobart. The following among others have been assigned to take part in the Republican campaign in Maine: Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press; Senator Thurston, of Nebraska; General Grosvenor. of Ohio, and Congressman George E. Foss, cf Chicago. Lumber Interests Suffering. MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 21.-The directors of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's Association Issued to-day a circular to the members, showing that the cut this year has been curtailed more than 23 per cent.. and that the sawmills are idle, while the importation of Canadian lumber has doubled. The directors declare that this state of affairs is due to the reduction of the tariff on lumber and the fear of free silver. They advise members to impress these facts on their employes, and point out that the maintenance of a protective tariff nnd the existing gold standard Is a matter of business and not of politics. Hon. E. J. Phelps Is for McKlnley. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The Troy Times published to-day nn Interview with E.' J. Phelps, of Burlington. Vt.t United States minister to Great Britain In President Cleveland's first administration, who is at tending the session of the American Bar Association at Saratoga. Mr. Phelps says ".Of course I am for McKlnley and llobart and no one else during these crucial times It is my patriotic duty, nnd should be the duty of all loyal and patriotic citizens, to t'upport the sound-money candidates in this campaign. I am uteriy opposed to any thing that tends to repudiation and an archy." Another Victory for Platt. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The results of the Republican assembly, district conventions in this city to-night to select delegates to the Saratoga convention shows that the Platt faction has carried twenty-four dls tricts for a total of forty-four delegates; the anti-Platt faction has carried five dis tricts for a total of nineteen delegates, and there are contests in six districts for a total of twenty-two delegates. General Political Xews. W. V. Sullivan of Oxford, Miss., has been nominated bv the Democrats of the Second Mississippi congressional district, to succeed Hon. John Kyle, tho present Congressman. The Republicans of the Thirteenth dls trlct of Missouri have nominated Hon. George Steele, of Jefferson county, for Congress. Resolutions strongly indorsing the national and State platforms were inthuslastlcally adopted. The prosects for fusion between the Democrats and the Populists in Missouri are very slim. Instead of patterning after the Populkts of Kansas, the Missouri Populists seem to belong to the Texas wing of the party. No reasonable proposition has yet come from the Populist State central committee. A conference of gold-standard Democrats was held In Baltimore Thursday at the office of ex-Congressman Isidor Raynor, at which It was decided to issue a call for a mass meeting of the gold-standard Democrats of Maryland for the purpose of selecting sixteen delegates to the Indianapolis convention. The rumor is general throughout West Virginia that Gen. C. C. Watts, the nominee for Governor on the Democratic ticket, and Isaac C. Ralphsnyder, the. Democrat nominated by the Populist State convention, will both be pulled off and a fusion will be made on either Judge Wm. G. Bennett or Clarence L. Smith. The Democratic and Populist central committees of Oklahoma. In joint session, have agreed upon fusion on congressional Delegate, the Democrats to Indorse Rev. Callahan, the Populist nominee. The agreement Is bitterly opposed by all the leading Democrats here and a strong effort will be mad to defeat Its ratification at the territorial convention at El Reno Sept 3. MURDER AND SUICIDE. Cincinnati Saloon Keeper Shoots Ills AVIfe nnd Himself. CINCINNATI, Aug. 21. Fred Graef. a saloon keeper at 132 Central avenue, shot his wife this afternoon and then killed himself. Graef was preparing to attend the funeral of a man who formerly owned his saloon and a friend was working downstairs for him. Hearing shots on the Moor above the friend hurried up nnd found Mrs. Oraef shot in the abdomen ami Oruef unconscious from r. bullet wound in his head. The wife is probably fatally hurt.

IS HILL A POPOCRAT?

MR. DAXFORTII SAYS THE SENATOR WILL SUPPOR.T mtVAX. Latter I a Little Skentlcnl and In Waiting: for David Himself to Announce Ills Change of Faith. BRYAN TO ANSWER COCKRAfl HE WILL MAKE POLITICAL SPEECH AT TIVOLI TO-DAY, Democratic nnd Popnllst Managers Worried Over the Failure of Complete Fusion In Idaho. UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y., Aug. 21. Every indication here to-day has been towards what is a settled fact that Wm. J. Bryan expects and has been assured of Eastern support. Letters continued to pour in asking him to speak at Eastern points, and if the requests were heeded he could spend the entire time from now until election day In New York State. Nearly every city of any size between New York and Chicago has asked him to make a stop, and, without exception, the invitations have come from leaders of Democratic organization. Mr. Bryan showed no surprise this morning at the newspaper stories that the New York Democratic State organization had decided to support him. He did reflect a little bit upon the statement that Senator Hill had told Mr. Danforth that he would support and work for him (Mr. Bryan.) He said in relation to that question: "It is not Senator Hill's custom to speak through others, and I doubt if Mr. Danforth gave out a statement purporting to be made by Senator Hill. The Senator will probably make his own announcement." It was said here to-day on verygood authority that Senator Hill will take part in the demonstration in honor of Mr. Bryan at Albany on Tuesday night. The statement needs authentication, however. The receipt of a letter from leader Sheehan, of Tammany, asking Mr. Bryan to speak in New York added another chain to the circumstances leading up to proof of a thorough understanding between Mr. Bryan and the New York Democracy. Tho published statement that Richard Croker had approved Mr. Sheehan's and Tammany's course in indorsing Bryan caused the candidate a great deal of satisfaction, and he said that he had always believed that all the great leaders would fall into line, except, perhaps, those who had financial Interests with the gold side of the Issue. Intimating that the leaders in the gold Democratic movement had mercenary interests. Congressman Sulzer arrived here to-night and was closeted with Mr. Bryan. He brought with him Prof. Van Buren Densloe, formerly a professor In Chicago University, and now a writer of silver literature. When the conference was over Mr. Sulzer said that he coulo.' not divulge the reason for his visit, except that Professor Densloe desired to visit Mr. Bryan. Despite all pressure to-night Air. Sulzer Insisted that he had nothing to communicate. Mr. Bryan's speech at Tivoli to-morrow is expected to be delivered to five or six thousand people, and Mr. Bryan's prepara tions to-day would seem to indicate that it will be the greatest effort made since the Madlson-squaro Garden speech. It will be political in Its tone and will, perhaps, attempt to answer in part the speech of Mr. Cockran. This afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. Mr. and Mrs. K. C. Perrlne, the Misses Perrine. Col. C. M. Pepper and A. Maurice Low went to Spring lake on a fishing excursion To-morrow the party goes to Tivoli and Sunday they will attend church. On Mon day they go to the Wlnnlsook Club in the Catskiiis. DUBOIS'S FATE SEALED. The Republican Bolter Left Ont In the Cold by Dems nnd Pops. WASHINGTON. Aug. 21. Some of the silver leaders In Washington are not at all surprised at the course of events in Idaho, where the Populists and Democrats have fused, leaving the silver Republicans to flock by themselves. One who has recently returned from the West says that the result is largely due to the course Senator Dubois has pursued In Idaho. Instead of cutting loose from the Republican party Senator Dubois and his friends went into the Republican committee and carried it by one majority and. Instead of organizing as a silver party, or inviting fusion, maintalned their organization as Republicans The Populists and Democrats claimed that any Republican organization ought to be for McKlnley if it claimed the name and insisted that Dubois must leave the Re imbllcan party, as Teller and Pettigrew have done. There has been A great deal of hostility between Dubois and the other two parties and the Populists and Demo crats say that if they elect Dubois Senator they will not be sure that he will remain with them. Silver men here say they have Information that the Bryan electoral ticket will carry the State and that the antago nism is more persqial to Dubois than any. thing else. The situation, however, continues to wor ry the managers at both the Populist and Democratic headquarters. The fusion effected yesterday, which ignores the silver Republicans, they believe, will react throughout the West and greatly embarras and hamper their campaign. An adjustment of the matter, which will give proper recognition to the silver Republicans. Is regarded at both headquarters as or the. highest lm portance. Just what the managers are doing cannot be ascertained, but it i evident that they are actively engaged in tryintr to secure a reconsideration of the action of the committee which arranged the terms o the fusion. Some important developments are expected in a lew days. Senator Butler, chairman of the Populist committee, says that he has been receiving some .very favorable reports from different States where there have been disagree ments between the Populists nnd Demo crats as to fusion on electors. It Is now be lleved that the offer of the Populists in Texas to take seven of the fifteen delegates will be accepted, in west Virginia the com mittee have about agreed upon a division elvine the Democrats four and the Ponu lists two electors. It is also stated that the chances of fusion in North Carolina have improved. It was stated at l'opunst headquarters that they believed the Idaho fusion would be arranged so as to give the silver Republicans a share of the offices and an equal Interest In the campaign, the electors to be divided among the three parties. The national Populist committee. It was stated, will insist upon this and will be Joined in it by the Democratic national committee. Fusion In Idaho. BOISE. Ida.. Aug. 21. At 6 o'clock this evening the Democratic and Populist State conventions had not completed their work, the Populists having made very little progress during the day. The conference committee reported the division as given in last night's dispatches, also that the fused party be called the People's Democratic party. The arrangement respecting the United States Senator does not please the Populists and they have spent the. entire day trying to get It straightened out, the last demand being that the Democrats shall agree to supoort a man selected by the Populist legislative caucus. The Populists did nothing more than to adopt their platform. It is devoted entirely to State matters. The Democratic convention has gone ahead faster. It has adopted a platform

and nominated R. P. Quarles. of Salmon, for Supreme Judge and Frank Stuenenberg. of Caldwell, for Governor.

At the evenlne session th: Democrats notified the Populists that they would ac cede to the last demand. The Populists at once receded nnd fusion was closed up. II A COX MISTAKEN. A Good Cause, Xot ley, Enables Republicans to e Rest. WASHINGTON. Aug. 2 .nator Bacon. of Georgia, who has Just k irned from the Pacific coast, was at Democratic head quarters to-day. In an interview he said that as the sentiment now exists In the country iBryan would be elected, but that Republicans told him the sentiment of the people would change before election. The Senator said that he failed to see that the sentiment of the country through which he passed had changed, but was inclined to think that the money which the Repub licans were putting into the campaign will have its effect. He did not mean by this, he added, that voters would be bought, but that the Republicans will get their litera ture more largely circulated, will have more speakers and will have more and better Informed men at many places who will be able to defeat the Democrats in argument. He said he noticed at the sta tions and other places where there were groups of men talking, arguing the silver question, in every instance that, as a general thing, the Republican was better in formed and could array his argument v.nn more effect and when he cot the lest of his Democratic antagonist he was likely to carry the crowd with him. This he attributed to a large circulation of literature and special work of the Republicans, who were posting men everywhere to be able to argue the question. Senator Bacon thought this was the omy leature wr.crem the Renublicans were succeeding and said he had" no doubt that all this would be counteracted by the Democrats. Secretary Gardner, of the National Asso ciation of Democratic Clubs, to-day received applications of membership In the rational association from thirty four newclubs. Virginia heading the list. Each application, without exception. Is accompanied with the statement that the membership includes men who have heretofore been identified with the Republican party. Some of these letters also note slight disaffection from Dmocratic ranks, but say it is very much less than the accessions. There has been a notable increase in the demand on Democratic headquarters for literature, particularly for Mr. Bryan s New York and Chlcaco speeches. NewJersey, Mr. Gardner says, is actively en gaged In the preliminary steps or ciud organization, the showing in Hunterdon and Hudson counties being especially strong. UXDER THE SAME ROOF. Democrat and Republican Headquarters In the Auditorium Annex. CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Chairman Jones, of the national Democratic campaign com mittee, has changed his mind as to the lo cation of headquarters. On and after to day the Democratic national campaign will bo conducted from the Auditorium Annex. Senator Jones said there was too much noise from the street traffic on Randolph street in the suite of rooms which had been selected at the Sherman and Imme diately afterward the headquarters were changed to the Annex. The battle between the two great parties will, therefore, bo directed from the same location, practically" conducted under the same roof. The State central committee will continue its work at the old stand In the Sherman House. The State Democratic committee, like the State Republican, was anxious to conduct its campaign in Illinois In conjunction with the national campaign. Secretary Nelson and Chairman Hlnrlchsen had been in hopes that the headquarters of both committees would be located in the same hotel. Secretary Nelson arranged this morning to add two more rooms to the State headquarters at the Randolph-street hostelry and the Democratic campaign in Illinois will be t jnductc d on its own account from that point. This is prerircly what happened with the Republican State committee. The heads of that organization urged Mark Hanna to locate the national headquarters in the Great Northern Hotel, where it would be close to the State headquarters, but the man from Ohio refused. Among the callers at the Democratic headquarters to-day were Senator Roach, of North Dakota. L. A. Rossing, of St. Paul, chairman of the Minnesota State Democratic committee, and Thomas W. O'Brien, a member of the Minnesota committee. While it is understood that W. U. Adams will be the head of the local literary bureau of the national committee, the formal announcement of his appointment has not been made. The principal literary headquarters will be in Washington in charge of Congressmen Richardson and Benton McMlllln. of Tennessee. "There will be few appointments." said Major Townes. one of Senator Jones's assistants. "The bulk of the campaign work will be done in Washington. All the literature, rxept for a few States in this vicinity, will be mailed from our headquarters on Fifteenth street, in Washington. The force of hands is already at work there under direction of members of the congressional committee." SILVER DICK'S SCREED. Mr. Illand Trylnic to Outdo the Most Rabid Populist. ' LAUREL. Md., Aug. 21. The Democratic national campaign in this State was opened In this city, the home of Senator Gorman, to-night. ex-Congressman Bland, of Missouri, being the principal attraction. Mr. Bland . arrived from Washington soon after 4 o'clock in the afternoon and held a largely attended reception at the home of Mr. Ernest P. Baldwin. A torchlight procession followed, escorting Mr. Bland to Laurel Grove, where an Immense mass meeting was held. T. M. Baldwin, president of the local Democratic club called the meeting to order and Mayor Phelps, of Laurel, was made permanent chairman. Mr. Bland was received with great enthusiasm by the large crowd present and his speech, which was mainly devoted to replying to arguments against the free coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to 1, was loudly and frequently applauded. In the opening sentences of his address Mr. Bland asserted that "this is a campaign in which the creat masses of laborers and producers of the country are arrayed in organized conflict with cortorate -greed and insolence." The audience applauded this sentiment. The speaker asserted that such men as William C. Whitney were inconsistent in opposing Bryan If. as they say. 'it will make the rich richer and the poor poorer." The men who are opposing Bryan, the speaker said, "aro the heads of trusts and monopolies. The men who are leaving the Democratic party, who are putting up a third ticket." said he. "in order that they may help McKlnley to win. aro Identified with the trusts." Mr. Bland asserted that thl 's the first time within ft quarter of a century that thV lints have been sharply drawn between the beneficiaries of cla-ss legislation and the great masses of work rs and producer. It has cost the government $2i20M.o in three years to maintain the gold standard, and that amovnt will be doubled by the payment of Interest. "This Is more than a contest between the two parties." the speaker cried, and then he addd. "thank God the old Democratic party has broken loose from the Whitney and their associates." Whereupon the auA ion a rnl iidril. "The laborer anil tho I producers ought to take the government in their own nanus ana control it in their own Interests, he declared. atf r which went Into statistics to show what it would cost to maintain the gold standard. He rext asserted that if McKlnley were elected he would follow Cleveland's example and pay all coin obligations In gold, and asked. "Where Is he going to get the gold?" He asserted that there Is no law icqulrlng the payment f customs dues ami internal revenue? in gold. Where, th'n he asked, could McKlnley pet the pold except by borrowing It and issuing bonds to "the sharks of Wall and Lombard streets?" To cancel the greenbacks, he said, will con. tract th currency ri'XMiM.wjO. Tin- only solution of the problem, he claimed. Is to give the people both go'd and si.ver as a redemption fund. "The onlv probability of a change," said Mr. Bland. "Is Bryan's election. McKlnley s victory would be a barren one you might as well enact a de. cicc that Cleveland should be President fofour years more. It nuans to keep on stlST lng bonds." Mr. Bland asserted that the money question ls the overshadowing one In the campaign, but back of this is the grea ter one of when ure the pool le going to (Continued ou Second Pse.j)

The Indianapolis Sentinel of Aug. 20 said: "John R. Lewis, of Lebanon, made an eloquent plea for free silver last night, followed by Reed Halloman. Democratic candidate for prosecutor, und M. C. Cary, of New York." To-day, speaking of the meeting, a Democrat said: "X few more d fool speeches of the same kind will ruin the cause In thl locality." Others expressed like view. The object of the meeting was to organize a Bryan club, as the Sentinel said, but tho fact is they did not and have not yet organized, and Instead of "123 names enrolled." the Democratic chairman of the meeting said the next morning they got "about thirty-five names." There was not at any time during the evening 123 men, In the hall, and half of the number left before the meeting was half out. The Sentinel report says: "Many are joining tho club that have been lifelong Republicans, and three names are given to prove it. The fact is, these three are the only ones in the town who are even talking free silver. One of them. Mr. Barker, said this morning: "I shall vote the Republican State and county tickets and think I shall vote for Bryan. I am for free silver." Mr. lie Daniel, another, has said he would vote for McKlnley and also that he would vota for Bryan. He is a friend of Joe Cheadle nnd will do whatever Mr. Cheadle doe. Mr. Riley, the last one. has not committed himself cither way. He is for free silver, but not for free trade nor any other Popocratic doctrine. Mr. McDanlel cannot control another vote, as he has no following or influence. He was defeated for the nomlns-' tion for recorder two years ago and has been counted a "sorehead" ever since. Republicans were never more Interested and earnestly united than in this campaign. The Thomtown Republican Club, with C I. Curry president and George Perrln secretary. Is one of the largest ever organized here, having a membership of 173 at the last meeting and many yet who will enlist. It is propocd to increase the 1S3 Republican majority of 1S4 in this township to 200 in November. The KcntlncPs Liar at Flat rock. Fpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBY VI LLE, Ind.. Aur.21.The Sentinel this morning published a.' lilt of twenty-two "lifelong" Republicans of Flat Rock, this county, who. It Is claimed, would vote for Bryan and Sewall. The list is the same one referred to a few days ago as utterly false, with some more added for effect. The report is untrue, and since the expose of the Journal to-day In the Riflnj Sun case any more such claims on the part of the Sentinel will get the laugh in Shelby county. From the best information here theie is not a single Republican In the list of twenty-two names, most of whom are Democrats, who will vote for Bryan. Tho most of the others have always been Democrats or Prohibitionists. Mr. Johnson Is Xot for Bryan. To the Kilter of thW Inll&napnll Journal: In a late Issue of the Sentinel there Is ft statement that John F. Johnson, of Newton county, was going to take the stump for Bryan and Sewall. I am a Republican and In favor of protection to American Industry and sound money, and therefore In favor of McKlnley and Hobart, Mount and all the balance of the State ticket, and Crumpacker for Congress. I hope my Democratic brethren can understand my position. If the stories that are being told by the free-silver men are on a par with this one about myself they are hard up for campaign literature.

A SLAP AT CHEADLE. Delphi Democratic Paper Demands a Xevr Candidate. FrecHl to trie InHanapollt Journal. DELPHI. Ind., Aug. 21. The Delphi Times, tho recognizee! Democratic organ cf this city, came out In a double-leaded editorial this morning announcing thst It would not support Joseph B. Cheadle, the ex-Republican who has been nominated by the Populists and Democrats of thJs district for Congress. The Times calls attention to the fact that several weeks lieforo Cheadle was nominated by cither party for Congress a. number of the leading Democrats of this county met in this city, with William Johnson, the Democratic district chairman, of Craw f ordsvllle, to discuss the feasibility of Cheadle's nomination. In that meeting many Democrats announced openly that they would not supiort him If nominated and the understanding was that his nomination would not be further considered. The Times charges that his nomination was the result of a trick and a trade and that the Democrats of the dUtrtct are not bound to support him. The Times charges that Mr. Cheadle Is a tolltical adventurer, willing to accept any platform or nomination from any party, and that he has declared within the last few days that he did not stand with the Democratic party on the tariff question. It shows that he participated In the preliminary conventions of the Republican party at Frankfort this spring and became angered because his party would not send him as a delegate to one of the district crnv ntlons. It charges that while canvassing the eld Ninth district as a Republican candidate for Congress he frequently made the assertion th-it "four of the best years of hlj life, from 1V51 to were given up to shooting Democrats." The Times charges that Cheadle is not i. consistent sllvtr man; t"hat as a Republican Congressman he voted agnlnt the Bland bill and that every time he had a chance to vote for silver, he voted afTii-t it. In conclusion the Times says: "One of his (Cheadle) statements that for a negro to be i Democrat i A Sfclf -confessed Hbel on his pcocla tl"-1
