Bryan la offering a 50-cent dollar to get a $60,000 Job. There are a great many nonconformist Democrats this year. p The free sllverites in some localities have yet to learn that stale eggs are not arguments. ' '' It is a poor kind of Kentucky chivalry that throws rotten eggs at such a Democrat as John G. Carlisle. Still,, the best work which can be done In the next few days ,1s privately with those who may yet be. in doubt, Bryan would not face the man who charged him with saying that workmen who desire protection are "public begcars." It is suggested, that a McKinley portrait be placed in the center of every flag used by Republicans on flag day, which will be Oct. SI. The Nebraska man says the free coinage Of silver might require the establishment of more mints. It would certainly cause the establishment of more soup houses. Kentucky Bryanltes who throw flowers at Senator "Joe"' Blackburn and stale eggs at Secretary Carlisle are themselves pretty far advanced in a state of decomposition. Bryan's habit of covering his personalities with a disguise of polite verbiage does not change their character. Blackguardism decorated is none the less blackguardism. The Sentinel rises to a personal explanation and assures its readers that its editors xeally"mean' what they say on the silver question. This is worse than any one had dreamed. It Is now well known that 90 per cent. of the alleged Republicans who are going to vote for Brvan have been m the habit of voting the Democratic or Populist tickets tor years. The Sentinel declares that its editors believe exactly what they have WTitten on the currency question. No doubt they do, but is it what they wrote before thy Chi cago convention alter an; There are no loan and building associations in silver countries because the people who have a sliver currency do not get enough money to invest in anything except the cheapest kind of food. The silver trust should curb the violent kntthods of the Bryanlies. Some voters who might , be for silver are opposed to that Intolerant spirit which has spread with the speaking of Bryan, Altgeld, Sovereign and Fred Williams.. lion. George W. Cooper, who was one of the ablest men from Indiana in the last Democratic House, is the last influential Democrat to declare against the Popocratic ticket. The "Hessians" who were leaders are already an army. A few months before the nomination Bryan said that a change to the free coinage of silver would probably cause a panic. John W. Kern said so on May 2S. Let us accept the warning of these Popocratic leaders and vote against Bryan. ' At the Democratic headquarters in Chicago are Senator Stewart, ex-Governor Ilauser, F. G. Newlands, ex-Representative Bedford and other millionaire mine owners and their attorneys. In short, the silver mine owners have charge of the Popocratic headquarters. Abraham Lincoln said: "Let not him who Is homeless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and build one for himself." Bryan makes no ppeech in which he does not attempt to arouse the evil passions of those whom he assumes have r.o hous?s, inciting them to pull down the houses of others. Sensible men of both parties who believe In law and order will avoid wordy disputes on the streets, which, in the present excited condition ot the public mind, may lead to blows and possibly to use of weapons. Such collisions will not change a vote, and they are not to the credit of the good sense of American citizens. So the Bryanltes are wearing gold and liver badges because some one has told them that a gold dollar worth 100 cents in the market of the world and asilver dollar worth 60 cents will circulate side by side. Such men may be expected to pay $15 for a 110 suit of clothes when a $15 suit might have been secured. There are people who take delight In making their idiocy conspicuous. W. II. Michael, of Lincoln. Neb. has been Inspecting the Congressional Record to see If Bryan was a friend of the soldiers when In Congress, and he writes the National Tribune that he was not. He quotes the case of a soldier's widow, aged seventy, who was helpless and penniless. He finds the facts In the Congressional Record of the Fifty-third Congress, Volume 2, Page 4430. Mr. Bryan had charge of the case, upon which there had been a favorable reHe had an hour's time, of which he uad five minutes and gave tha larger part

of the rest of his time to those opposed to the bill, refusing those who desired to favor the measure opportunity to speak. In the course of the debate Mr. Martin, of Indiana, and others pleaded eloquently for the helpless old woman, but Bryan said not a word in, her behalf. The course of Mr. Bryan provoked Mr. "Van Voorhis, of New York, to say: "If the gentleman from Nebraska had deliberately gone to workto prevent action here this evening he could not have done better."

THE INSILT TO SECRETARY LISLE. CAR. The outrage perpetrated upon Secretary Carlisle in his own city and State very naturally causes great indignation throughout Kentucky as well as all over the country. Some time since the Bryanltes declared that he would be insulted and his meetings would be disturbed. Some time since it was reported that ex-Senator Blackburn had declared that sound-money Democrats in Kentucky would not be permitted to speak In peace in that State. Secretary Carlisle has never made a pub lic speech which contained personalities His manner is never offensive, because he has the rare power of being effective with out being abusive. Kentucky has many able men, but since the days of Henry Clay it has not had a son who has displayed higher qualities of true leadership. He won his way to the speakership of the House and as a speaker stood in the front rank of able and impartial parliamentarians with Clay, Winthrop, Colfax, Blaine and Ran dall. In the judgment of the Journal he has been on the wrong side of most questions, but that does not prevent its being able to recognize his signal ability and his highminded treatment of public questions. No wonder the high spirit of Kentucky Is in dignant at the outrage upon Secretary Carlisle. The treatment which Mr. Carlisle received in Covington would not have been thought of three months ago. The men who are guilty of the outrage would not have dared disturb Mr. Carlisle before the advent of Bryanism, which has come to mean Altgeldism and Tillmanism. These leaders have invoked the spirit of violence. In fact every speech of Bryan is calculated to arouse a spirit of hatred and proscription which resents the expression of opinion hostile to that of the leaders who are fast earning the repute of being public disturbers, and who are the champions of those who hate law and order. It is a strange condition of public sent! ment when the Secretary of the Treasury is denied the privilege of making an ad dress to a public meeting upon the public finances, but it is a condition Incident to the exaltation of such men as Altgeld, Till man and Bryan. If the decent people of the country desire to rebuke this assault upon free speech they must help to defeat Bryanism. "WHO IS JONES f Who is tills man Jones who is sending out so many proclamations and warnings? He is a United States Senator from a State which is as little in touch with the civilization of the age as any in the Union Arka nsas. He has warned the country that there is danger of the mass of voters being coerced by employers, and another to the effect that fraud will be attempted at the poil3. Why should that come from Jones, of Arkansas? There has not been an honest election in Arkansas in fifteen years. Why should Jones be indignant over coercion when In his State, for years, Republicans were coerced not to vote by the shotguns of the Jones party? Why should Senator Jones, of Arkansas, be so deeply interested concerning the welfare of men employed in manufacturing establishments when it is well known that the present tariff law is more a Jones than a Gorman law? Indeed, it may fairly be said that the McKinley law would not have been repealed had not Senator Jones, whom his Democratic associates placed over Senator Voorhees, made a bill to take the place of the Wilson bill which could secure the support of a majority of the Senators. Is it because he, as much as any man, is responsible for the idleness of hundreds of thousands of men and reduced wages for others? A very proper man is Jones to appear as the champion of factory employes, to urge them to ask their employers to contract to pay the present wages In the event of tho election of McKinley. A very proper man is Jones, who represents a State which has no considerable manufacturing enterprises because of the narrow bourbonism of the Joneses of Arkansas, to meddle with the manufacturers and their employes in other States. The next thing one may look for from Jones is an appeal to veterans to vote for tho silver-mine owners candidate as a matter of patriotism, and to take his advice because he has always voted against pensions. Senator Jones, chairman, is a man of superb gall. -WHO ARE LEADERS t Who are leading what was the Democratic party at the present time? Who are the men at headquarters? Jones, of Arkansas, Shanklin, of Indiana, and a few Populists who have sold out their party. There is not a Democrat of national reputation connected with the national headquarters, unless it be Senator Gorman, of Maryland, whom the Democratic State convention in Indiana, in 1S91, desired to blacklist with' Senator Hill because he defeated the Wil son tariff bill. Such Democrats as Palm er, Morrison, Carlisle, Buckncr and Vilas, who havo been the party advisers for years, are not found there. What Democrats of national reputation are In the States which are regarded as the battlefields of the campaign? Not one. Instead of recognized leaders, there are such harlequins in politics as Williams, of Massachusetts, such mountebanks as Sovereign, such inciters of evil passions as Altgeld and Tillman. The only man of reputable character and na tional reputation outside of Indiana who has been sent here to make Democratic speeches is Senator Teller, who is now a I'opocrat because he holds an expiring seat in the Senate owned by the silver-mine trust. What Democratic doctrine is being pro claimed by these few exponents of the Chicago convention Democracy? The free coinage of silver upon an impossible ratio: since when did that become a time-honored Democratic principle? Certainly since the Democratic national convention of 1SD2. The latest Democratic declaration on the money question is contained in the bill repealing the Sherman purchase law, and that declares against the coin 130 of sil ver on any other terms than thn which will maintain a parity of all eU-W What other Democratic doctr".', " - .o fathers dlb these Bryans. Altg'M... ? ,jd Till mans jiold? Is that a D-tt.o- tic tx- ; trine which declares that -esldtflt shall Don enforce federal k; la a State 1

without the consent of its Governor? Was he not a Democrat of Democrats who declared "by the Eternal" that men who resisted the execution of federal laws should "be hanged as high as Haman"? Since when did it become a Democratic doctrine to threaten the independence of the Supreme Court? If before the advent of Altgeld, Bryan and Tillman, will some one give the date? What previous Democratic national convention declared that it is the mission of the Democratic party to array the wage earner against the wage payer, those who are called poor against those who are called rich? Will some one answer? " The leaders of the present so-called Democratic party are not Democrats, but revolutionists. For that reason the conscientious and patriotic men who have been Democrats all their days are leaving it. "PUSH THINGS."

April 3, 1SG3, when it was evident that General Grant had full victory, within his grasp, he issued the simple order, "Push things." If, when Lee had been forced out of Richmond and Petersburg, , General Grant and rested a few, days before pushing the pursuit Lee would have Joined Johnston and made a serious opposition. The skies were full of promise, but Gen. Grant wanted certainty. He pushed things and attained victory. In Indiana the Republican skies are radiant with the promise of victory. Never was the outlook so favorable. From the most reliable sources from every part of the State come assurances of victory. The State committee and its executive advisers went over the whole field, after a careful canvass made the present week. Its members carefully compared notes and then went to their homes confident of Republic an success. Victory on Nov. 3 is as much within our grasp as it was at Petersburg on Monday morning, April 3, 1SG3, when Grant ordered the army to pursue Lee day and night until he surrendered. Filled with the confidence of victory every man in the ranks was eager to obey the order "mish. thincs." So now. , during the last week of the campaign, every Republican and sound-money advocate, every man who would avoid panic and would have a re turn of prosperity should do all within his power to make the defeat of Bryanism in Indiana emphatic and overwhelming. Tho ranks of the Bryanltes are broken; thousands of men can be won to the Republican cause by judicious and persistent work. There are few men who will read this who may not win a voter during the next week if each pursues a judicious course. Never was there so favorable a sea son for judicious personal effort on the picket line. Do not waste time in babble with confirmed Bryanites or in idle dis putes on street corners, but seek out some man wh,o may be won by reason, and labor with him. Let those who have done arduous service the past three months redouble their efforts the remaining days of the campaign, not so much for party name as for the general welfare of the country. At the battle of Chantilly a colonel asked General Kearny where he should put his regiment into the fight. "Go in anywhere; there's splendid fighting all along the line," was the reply. So Republicans, business men, wage earners, all who see the curse which Bryanism involves, ehould not wait for order,-iut go in anywhere and help to roll up a majority in Indiana which will warn the silver mine owners that they must not again enter into a conspiracy to hold up and rob the American people. The Republican party, always right, is doubly right now. Have faith in its cause and its leaders and fight to win a victory as important as that which saved the Union. It is conceded by Illinois politicians of all parties that Col. W. R. Morrison's savage attack on Altgeld will cost the latter a great many votes a.nd contribute materially to his defeat. Altgeld comes back at Morrison in this fashion: Morrison has been of immense benefit to his partv in keeping out ot politics of late. The fact is, he wanted me to swing the Illinois delegation for him in the Chicago convention, and thought I ought to secure his nomination at the bead or tne ticKet. But the neonle of this State would not have it, and he had no chance whatever. Another thing: For years the Democratic party has been ridden by a class of debilitating iKliticians who have always been a burden rather than a benefit to it. These nisrht-riders have been thrown out. have landed hard, and are now rubbing their bruises and squealing. This is good enough as a personal re joinder, but it is no answer to colonel Morrison's charges of malfeasance in office. Those charges are of the most serious na ture, and Governor Altgeld cannot dispose of them by personal vituperation. The announcement of the death of Hon. C. F. Crisp, ex-Speaker of the House ot Representatives, will be a surprise and shock to the country. While it has been known that he was not in good health, there was no reason to expect that he would not recover. He was a man of more than ordinary ability, of unblemished private character, and with a considerable aptltttde for public life. He was only fiftyone years of age, and at the height of political popularity in his own State. The fact that the postal-card vote of Indiana, as collected by the Chicago Rec ord, showed, Thursday evening, 13,027 for McKinley to 5,278 for Bryan, leads one to suspect that the Democrats are holding back their votes because they hesitate to be Popocrats. While the Republicans are going to carry Indiana by a good round plurality, they do not count upon any such preponderance as the above vote shows a ratio of 2Ms for McKinley to 1 for Bryan. A prominent clergyman of this city, who has always voted the Democratic ticket, but who repudiates the Populist platform and candidates of the Chicago convention, said yesterday: "I should regard the election of Bryan as the failure of republican government." Inasmuch as it would show that the discontented, irresponsible and an archistic elements are a numerical majority in this country it would certainly foreshadow that ending. BUBBLES IX THE AIR.

A tientlemnn. "There are some things," said the orator, 'that a gentleman cannot afford to do." Gee:" murmured the stubby-whiskered man in the rear row; "I always thought a gentleman was a guy that could afford to do as he durn please." The Cheerful Idiot.

The foregoing remarks are not taken from our Arizona exchanges, but are among the Interesting personalities . induged in hy once efaifr,Phi adelpbia papers.

Journalism in IWe cultured East seems to be growing a trifle .woolly. A lady who stood near Mr. Bryin at one of his meetings and watched him go through the handshaking process soys he ciucched at the people with both his hands like a hungry vulture seizing prey. His vivid imagination probably led him to pic ture every hand seized 'as full of ballots. EX-PRESLDEXT HARRISON. . Uncle Harrison is getting in the finishing blows. Philadelphia North American.

With a, Modern Application. Ben Abdul, the Caliph of ancient Bagdad, Awoke one fine morning and found that he had By thoughtless extravagance, sad to relate. Completely exhausted the funds of the state. So he summoned his Vizier, El Hamud liey. "By the beard of the prophet! devise me a way To fill up my treasury, waxing so' low; My subjects will stand no more taxing, you knOW." So Hamud the Vizier begged' for a day To consult wun tne Mist)1 men ana decide on a way; "The task that you set will take much thought and prayer. But fear ngt, O Caliph!.,! ye wisdom to spare." Next day came El Hamuu, salaamed to the ground, , . . And said, "Mighty Abdul,., a. way has been found; - : ' After prayer ard much reading of the Koran TVe at last have evolved a1 most excellent plan. - - "Let a law enacted fry royal decree That a dog and a camel quite equal ehall be.

The camels diminished,-of dog there were more. Until one morning 'twas whispered around That in no place in Bagdad could a camel be found. 1 . W. M. E. WON'T CURE OUR ILLS. (Concluded from Flrat Pne.) wanted a change of policy. It is their right, it is their privilege, the proud privilege of the people of the United States to Inaugurate any public policv which they believe is best for them. They have tried this policy and they are called upon, or will be in the next ten days, to exnress their judgment upon that change. What will the vote of Armstrong county be' (Vociferous shouts of Pof McKinley. 3,000 majority!' followed by cheering lasting sev eral minutes.) "Your county presents within its own borders the best possible evidences of what a protective tariff will do. Twenty-six years ago we did not manufacture am plate glass in the United States. It was all manufactured in some oiher country. There wer people -who said we never could manufacture plate glass in the United States; that there was something about the atmosphere that prevented us from manufacturing plate glass. And yet in twenty-six years we have become almost the greatest, manufacturing nation of nite glass of any in the world. The price of piate glass has been constantly falling, so that it is within the reach of tho irrent mass of the people in this country a thing we never oeiieveu possioie twenty-six vears ago. We have demonstrated, and you have demonstrated in your own county, that we' can manufacture tin plate in the United States. They said we could not do thatwe said we could, and we did. The fact is, there is nothing that the people of the United States cannot do if vou trivp them half a chance. Now, what' we want to do is to restore the policy we abandoned i'oui years ago. Whether we can get back to that high-water mark or not 1 do not know. But the only way to approach it is to overturn the policy that led us away from it. "Some people seem to think that Ihe wav to return to prosperity is through the mintM of the United States. Some people eern to think that the way to keep up prices la to dilute the monpy of the country in which prices are paid. Some people seem to think that whenever the prices of a product ko down then the value of the money ought to go down, and that whenever the prices of wheat fall then the value or the dollairr.ust fall. They seem to think that when ever a change of price or the cost of production in this country lead to lower prieefi the standard of money must go down. We do not believe any such thing. If you lower the value of money as you have lowered the price of plate glass in the United States what would the value of your money be to day? What we want is an honest, unchang ing standard or value. e want an honest doilar for honest labor. All we ask in this country is an opportunity to earn honest dollars. - "My fellow-citizens, another delegation is oming.

I only want to express the great gratification I have had by the frequent calls from your great State of phe nomenal Kepubllcan majorities.

IN THE SUCKER STATE

MR, BR VAX IXVADES ILLINOIS AXD TALKS A GREAT DEAL. Wheeled About on n Platform nt Charlenton and (ilven it Ride on a Motocycle at Dccatnr. DEMONSTRATION AT PEORIA WHERE 2MMM REl'IDLICAXS HELPED TO SWELL THE THKOU. Streets at Mglit iv Mann of People, Many of AVliom Cheered for McIvlnley Mr. Bryan's Speeches. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PEORIA. 111., Oct. 23. Candidate Bryan ended the first day of his campaigning tour of Illinois here to-night. There was a big demonstration, and three speeches were made. In the crowd that thronged the city toj-night wore fully twenty thousand Re publicans, all wea Ing yellow badges. They shouted for McKinley when they wanted to, but did not disturb Mr. Bryan's meet ings. Mr. Bryan's first speech in the Sucker State was made in Danville, where he "jumped on" Representative "Joe" Cannon. He accused the Congressman of changing his views on the money question, because he had once made a speech in favor of the freer use of silver. At Paris, where a twenty-minute stop was made, Mr. Bryan blanked the "money changers" in his usual style, and told the farmers if they wanted bushels of money as well as bushels of wheat and corn they should vote for free silver. He neglected to say, however, that bushels of fiat money would not increase their prosperity. When Charleston was reached Mr. Bryan found a plattorm on wheels awaiting lnm He was invited to board it, and, when he had done so. the man who is said to have wheels in his head was wheeled to a vacant lot to deliver his speech. Mr. Bryan ele livered one of his nftecn-minute speeches to a crowd composed mostly of farmers. Dtcatuntes tried to outdo the Charleston people in the matter of wheels. Mr. Bry an was booked there for two speches at 150 per. When he arrived in Decatur he found the commit tet had provided a moto cycle for him. The horseless vehicle had four wheels, with rubber tires. Mr. Bryan got aboard and the thing started. It was a crush from start to finish, and. when thu platform at the courthouse square was reached, it was impossible for the nom inee to gain it. While the crowd was not so large as at many places, the crush was the worst experienced for many a day. The other carriages could not get within 100 feet ot that occupied by Mr. Bryan, and the crowd of shorthand men with the party and for the local papers could not ge t near enough to report the speech. At the second speech it was but a repetition. The candidate did not dare to leave the vehicle and the police were powerless. The press correspondents could hear one word in fifty perhaps, ana they were lucity it tney did that. AT SPRINGFIELD. Mr. Bryan made two speeches in Spring field, one at the courthouse and the other from the front of the Capitol. In his first speech he said: "My friends, we are reaching the close of a remarkable campaign, the most remarkable which has been waged in this country within the past generation. Great er issues are at stake to-day than have been presented -in recent con tes is. This election will determine whether the influ ence of this, the greatest Nation on earth, shall be cast upon the side of gold as the only standard money or upon the side of bimetallism. On your votes may depend that contest. Free silver may triumph without the vote of Illinois, but with tha vote of Illinois free silver is certain to succeed. We muy have enough electoral votes out"ide of Illinois, but we shall certainly have enough if we secure the vote of this great emiire State of the West, and the electoral vote of the State of Illinois may turn unon the vote ot a single citizen. 1 want you, therefore, when you come to cast your vote to remember what responsibilities rest upon the citizens this year." The main part of the speech was an in sidious appeal to workingrnen and farmers. Mr. Bryan closed with an appeal in txihalf of his dear friend. Governor Altgeld. The second speech was from tho Statehouse. Mr. Bryan said, among other things: "I am glad to come back to Il iiiOls, for while Nebraska is the State of my resielence, Illinois is the State of my birth. I became acquainted with many of the people of this capital city before I was acquainted much beyond the confines of my county. I am also glad to come to Springfield because it was here a year ago last June that tho Democrats assembled and gave notice to the Democrats of the Nation that Illinois was still a Democratic State. They gave notice to the Democrats of the Nation that no matter how other States might desert Democracy for plutocracy the Democracy of Illinois still prayed with the windows open and toward Monticello and the Hermitage. Your convention had much to do in giving hope and inspiration and your State played a most important part in bringing the Democratic partv to the indorsement of free and unlimited coinage at Pi to 1 without waiting for the aM or consent of any other nation. I am glad to come again into the city which was the theater of that great convention. I am gratified to see --every hand tho evidences that tho people of your State on election day are going to support the declartion made here at that June convention. And. my friends of Illinois, the greatest State in the Mississippi valley stands true to bimetallism, the historic policy of this Nation. Illinois will shine conspicuously among the instrumentalities which shall have credit for the restoration of bimetallism throughout the world." Thre was a stop of five minutes at Petersburg and one of fifteen mintes at Havana. The train arrived at l'eoria shortly after S o'clock, it being the first time during ihe week that it was not over three hours late. DEMONSTRATION AT PEORIA. The greatest demonstration of the day was In this city to-night. Thirty or forty thousand people were on the streets, fully half of whom wore yellow Republican badges. Mr. Bryan made three speeches, one in the Tabernacle, another in Rouse's Hail to an audience made up exclusively of trades union men, and a third in the open air on the courthouse square. It was near 11 o'clock before Mr. Bryan finished his work and he retired at once to his car. At the Tabernacle Mr. Bryan spoke in part as follows: "I want to say that I condemn the disturbance at Mr. Carlisle's meeting as much as any disturbance offered at any silver meeting. Bet each individual remember that no disgrace can be heaped by him upon any other person. A man cannot be disgraced by another. The man disgraces himself when disgrace comes and those who attempt to oiler indignity to another injure themselves far more than thev do the object of their attack. 1 know "that in, this campaign there has been resentment by many which in the past advocated one doctrine, but who now advocate another doctrine. I know that these changes have been made without sufficient reason or excuse being given to the public, but, my friends, leave these men to history because history Is just. If they have elone wrong they shall be punished. If they are right we should not punish them. "I want to call your attention to another thing before taking up any discussion of any particular phase of the money question. I want to recall what you read in this morning's paper, that the rate of interest had been raised 1 per cent, by the Bank of England. The rate of interest there now is 4 per cent. It has been raised 2 per cent, within six weeks. The bank of Germany has raised the interest to 5 per cent., and the bank of France has refused to sell gold. I call your attention to these facts because, my friends. I cannot understand how any one could fail to see the significance of these things. Our opponents tell us that goiei offers a safe foundation for an international mowy. They tell us that gold alone i good throughout the world. I want you to understand, business men of Peoria and Illinois, that this rise In the rate of interest in England nml in Germany and the action of the French bunk all these things Indicate, I think, cono.uslvely prove, that the stock of gold throughout the world is so small that the nations of the world are grabbing to get

their pftre. What has created (Ms epcM.il demand? It is hard to find the cause. Tho financiers dc-ciared that It vould not do to have another bond lsue in the United States dunvg this campaign. It has been decided that another Issue of bonds .vould be an object lesson which they could not afford to risk, and therefore the financiers of New ' York went to work to supply the treasury with gold to tide It over the camimign. and when they found it was difficult they appealed to foreign financiers who were interested in fastening the gold standard permanently upon the American people, and those financiers aid in the plan, and an geld left Europe, as gold came to us from F.ngland the people there began to feel the effect of its departure and the Bank of England raised the rate of interest and stopped the flow of gold to the United States, and Germany had to protect herself and France has to protect herself, and thus, my friends, this one little agttatlon proves to the people of the world that so long as gold was our money there must be constant agitation, constant peril to our commercial fabric as the gold goes from one nation to the other. Our gold goes abroad and then we become agitated and wei ,nUs;r cither issue bonds to bring that gold back or else we must lower prict-s to bring the gold back that way. These urn the only two ways In which our stock of gold can be replenished." In his two sueeehes which followed the tabernacle speech Mr. Bryan discussed the silver doctrine along the same general lines as pursued by him in other places. Bryan Will Waste Much Wind. CHICAGO, Oct. The greatest pic?o of personal campaigning ever done by a public man in a single city is what will be y attempted by Mr. Bryan in Chicago, Details of his programme of speech making here were finally settled this afternoon. Ho is to deliver five speeches the night of his arrival in the city Tuesde.y next, after speaking at probably a dozen points up the State on the road from Lincoln. JU. Next day, Wednesday, he delivers several speeches. Thursday eight, and Friday, probably more than on any one previous day, the exact limit having not yet been fixed. The record when Mr. Bryan finishes is expected to show over thirty different addresses in three days and one evening named, the aim of the candidate apparently being to place himself practically in personal contact to the extent of sight and hearing of the entire population of every corner of the 170 square miles of territory within the limits of Chicago. RELEASED BY CHINESE

KIDXAPPED DOCTOR SET AT LI UK IITY BY LOUD SALISBURY'S ORDER. Higlt-lliinded Proceeding on the Part of the Celestial Leunfioti In Loudou Other rorrlKii Xrws. LONDON, Oct.. 23. The Marquis of Salisbury to-day demanded the immedlute release of Sun-Yat-Scn. the Chinese physician, said to be a British subject, who wot, according to the statement of his friends, kidnaped while passing the Chinese legation here, and who is heid a prisoner in tho legation on the charge of having been engaged in a conspiracy to overthrow the Manchu dynasty. A complete cordon of cetectlves was formed around the Chinei'e legation, th3 officers being oidtred to sel.e Sun-Yat-Sen and releaso him if he should be brought out. The Marquis of Salisbury, after reading a number of affidavits. sent a strongly worded letter to the Chinese envoy pointing out that the method adopt ed by the legation in arresting Sun-Yat-Sen was distinctly not needed, as the courts were open to the Chinese officials to obtain any criminal, or for other legal process. The Premier also said that he could not fall to point out that it savored of unfriendliness as a violation of the right of asylum to which England was committed by every tradition and belief; and he asked the envoy to immediately release the imprisoned Chinaman and so avoid further unpleasantness. Later in the day Sir Halliday Macartney, the counsel .irV of the lenation. called at the Foreign Office and said that Sun-Yat-Sen. would be relased without prejudice to the lights of the legation which were Involved. An inspector of police anil Sun-Yat-Seh n friend, Dr. Cantlie-. who first raised the question of the Chinaman's Imprisonment, went to the Chinese legation at 5:au with a letter from the Foreign Office and not long afterwards they emerged from a side eloor with Sun-Yat-Sen, entered a cab ani drove to tho Foreign Office, where Sun-Yat-ben made a formal statement of his case, irils release was witnessed by a largo crowd of people. . A reporter was informed this afternoon that In official circles tha detention of Sun-Yat-Sen at the Chinese legation is re garded as a "monstrous abuse of the priv ileges or tne legation, which could not be tolerated for a moment." It appears that Sir Halliday Maorrtney, on receiving tho juarquis or aansimry s note, went to the bedside of the Chinese minister, who is in ill health, and explained to him that the Marquis of Salisbury insisted on the release of Sun-Yat-Sen. The Chinese minister thereupon cabled to Peking for tntruMnns and. on rreint of aa answer. Sun-Yat-Sen was released. After his release Sun-iat-Sen. in an in terview, denied that he entered the Chinese legation of his own accord, as claimed bv the Chinese officials. He said he was passing the legation, which at the time he did not know as the Chinese official headquarters in London, when he met a Chinaman, with whom he got into a conversation. Tho stranger, in the course of a chat with Sun-iat-ben. said that he also came from Canton, and. walking along, they soon met another Chinaman, who, It appears, emeyged from the legation, and was Introduced to Sun-Yat-Sen. by the first China man, who. It develops, was the Interpreter of the Chinese legation and who is named Tang. After talking a little the party was " joined by another Chinaman, and Tang thereupon left. Continuing, Sun-Yat-Sen said: "We tr-n returned, and, passing the legation, ' two remaining . Chinamen asked me w enter. Before 1 could reply thev pushed me Inside the door and slammed It behind me. Once Ins d th3 building I was forced upstairs to the fourth etory oy my companions, wno were rig men, and who locked me in a room. Almost immediately af terv a gentleman (described as being Sir H McCartney) entered and said 'You'' China now.' Ho asked me if my r was Sun Wen. and whe-n I acquiesced -a said he arrested me upon In formation received from the i:ninese min ister at Washington, who had cabled tho Chinese legation here that Sun Wen was on board the Majestic. The next day," continued Sun Wen (for that now appears to be his right name), "Tang appeared and said: "Everything is nettled; wo are gc-tng to gag und bind you and carry you out at night on board a ship we have chartered (probably a Glei! liner, as McCartney is a friend of the company). If wc can't muggie you away we can kill you, as this is China,' mc-aning the legation." Bun Wen tuther said, in repiy to questions on the subiect. that he was provided with food when ho awked for It, and it seems that his friends succeeded In communicating with him through the Eng ish servants of the legation by means of notes hidden among the coals. Situation Iu Turkey Is Grave. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 21 The lrade issued yesterday in connection with the recent purchases of arms havo resulted in a condition of affairs which is regarded as being very grave. The ministers are opposed to the poll tax Imposed on the Mussulmans, but the palace officials insisted that the measure was necessary for the defense of thi Mussulman religion on the ground that the Christians are preparing to attack Mussulmans and that tht European press is preaching a crusade against Islam. The British committee appointed to Investigate the cause of the recent disorders here computes that VMM Armenians In Constantinople and its suburbs have been rendered de-stltute as a result of the late massacres. The Fair Will Contest. SAN FRANCISCO.
