These are th days of rumors and lies 'which no sensible and earnest man should teed a moment. . Bryanlsm alone would be bad enough, but Bryanlsm with Altgeldism, Gocbellsra and ' Crokerism attached ugh! The pelting of Governor Roosevelt with eggs and vegetables In a city of his own ßtate discloses the true animus of Bryanlsm and Crokerlsm. The behavior of Elmlra's populace toward Governor Roosevelt shows that its "toughs" are not all inside the reformatory there by any means. Mr. Bryan will be counted out if he Is voted out, and not otherwise, but the chances are the voting out will be so overwhelming that even the Crokers will be silenced. Figures issued by the Treasury Department show an astonishing gain in the value of American manufactures shipped abroad, but Mr. Bryan could easily turn them Into an argument in favor of his election. President Schurman, of- Cornell University, spoke at Lincoln, Neb., on Monday night. He characterized the Issue of imperialism as "a tissue of etherialism" and Mr. Bryan as the biggest boomer of bogies In the United States. On the same day that Governor Roosevelt was pelted with eggs and vegetable? at Elmlra, N. Y., Senator Depew was hissed and howled down by a gang of rowdies at Coblesklll. He did not leave the platform, however, until he had given them some hot shot. It turns out that the American who, in command of a force of Filipino insurgent?, recently attacked an American barge loaded with merchandise, is a deserter from the Twenty-fourth Infantry. Ills name is DavM Fagln, and he now holds the rank of general in the Filipino army. There Would be no risk In wagering that he Is a Bryan man. The New York State prison at Elmlra was the first prison in the country to undertake the reformation of the morals and manners of its Inmates. It has been engaged in the work for a good many years, but the ruffianly treatment of Governor Roosevelt by residents of the town shows that the reform influences have not extended outside of the institution's walls. A decl5lcn by Chancellor Ungcr, of New Jersey, sets aside a voting agreement by which the affairs of the whisky trust were to be managed for five years from last June 1 by tlve trustees. The agreement was entered into by the holders of J3i.W0.W0 of the J73.000.000 of the entire stock. Of the live "stockholders, who were to be made managing trustees two, August Belmont and William F, Harrity, r.e Democrats. A paragraph in yesterday'i Issue in vertently used the word "square" at the head of the ticket. It is a circle at the head of the ticket. In which the voter must make a cross to vote the whole party ticket. The squares are at the left of the names on the ballot. If the voter does not propose tovoie a straight ticket he must put a cress in the square opjosIte the r.ames. of the candidates for whom he desires to vote, but not in the circle at the head of the ticket. A year or so ago when the people of the United States were rejoicing over the victories at Manila and Santiago, and later, over the return of naval and military heroes, London papers had a good many caeerlng remarks to make about the "emotionalism" of Americans. We did all grow excited, certainly, but Just at this time it Is worth while to remember that not even in the crowded centers did we our heads and tear eacJa aiat i

pieces in frenzy. When the London populace cannot welcome its returning troops without a greater number of casualties than the regiments suffered in the field even the English press must acknowledge that British "emotionalism" goes several degrees beyond anything of the kind on this side of the water.

A SHOUT-LIVED LIE. Democratic managers had a few hours of Joy yesterday, caused by the alleged interview of a reporter of the Philadelphia Times with ex-President Cleveland, in which he was declared to have predicted the election of Mr. Bryan. It is so long since the chaps about Bryan headquarters were carried away with a paroxysm of delirious Joy that they could not stop to examine the fraudulent dispatch, which bears the earmarks of a stupid forgery by an amateur reporter, but went forth with their heads in the air to declare that Bryan is already elected. But their Joy has been turned to deepest gloom. ExPresident Cleveland was assailed by an avalanche of dispatches, and was evidently very angry when he gave out the following relating to the interview of the Philadelphia Times: The whole thing from beginning to end la an absolute lie, without the least foundation or shadow of truth. 1 have never uttered a word to any human being that affords the least pretext for such a mendacious statement. I have already telegraphed the Philadelphia Times to this effect. Thus one Bryan fake has met with sudden and emphatic exposure. There will be others, Inspired and uninspired, during the next week, which no sensible man who does not believe In Bryanlsm should believe for a moment. 3111. Bit VAN OX GOLD. In 1S0G, when the money question was, by Mr. Bryan's own statement, the paramount issue, he took frequent occasion to denounce gold and the gold standard as a prolific source of danger and disaster. In a speech at Newark, N. J., he said: The gold standard makes the rich richer and the poor poorer; it decreases the number of those who are happy and Increases the number of those who are in distress. When you can prove to me that the Creator intended civilization to 1 ipse again into the dark ages, when you can prove to me that the few should ride upon the backs of those who toil, then, and not until then, can you convince me that the gold standard will prevail. The great Increase In savings bank deposits and in the payments to building and loan associations show that the poor have not been growing poorer under the gold standard during the last three years. In one of his speeches in this City in October, 1896, Mr. Bryn said: Gold is arrogant and tyrannical in time of peace, and it deserts any nation in time of war, and never is a friend when a friend is needed. We have commenced a warfare against the gold standard, and we expect to continue that warfare until there will not be a man in this country who will dare to raise his voice in favor of the gold standard. The statement that 'gold deserts any nation in time of war" Is a flourish of rhetoric that any schoolboy could disprove. England has fought all her modern wars on a gold basis. The Franco-German war was fought on a gold basis, and so was our recent war with Spain. At Minneapolis Mr. Bryan said: The gold standard simply means that commerce will always be agitated, and the few who hold the money of the world will be able to loan it first to one nation and then to another, and thus gather in all the fruits of those who toll, while the masses of the people will be hewers of wood and drawers of water, receiving each year less consideration and enjoying less of comfort than they did the year before. The only agitation of commerce since the establishment of the gold standard in this country by law has been the enormous extension of our foreign trade, while we have become a creditor instead of a debtor Nation. These quotations might be in definitely multiplied, and Mr. Bryan declares that on the money question he staridsjwhere he did in 1S06. He wants it understood that he has neither forgotten anything nor learned anything. THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. The Journal would emphasize the importance of the election of the Republican State and legislative ticket. This is done because It is said that quite a number of voters will vote for the McKinley electors and the Democratic State ticket. It is given out that the Gold Democrats are likely to so vote, but upon what authority no one has stated. It is fair to assume that the Gold Democrats are men who desire a businesslike management of State affairs, and that the principle of nonpartisanship be main-, talned as it now exists in all the State benevolent, reformatory and penal institutions. Durinf; the past few years there have been no scandals about public institutions. Employes hold their positions upon the basis of efficient and faithful service. Under the operation of this policy the per capita cost of maintaining the State's wards and criminals was reduced from $203.53 in 1S30 to $169.03 in 1S99 a decrease of $34.43 per capita. In 1S33 the State's Institutions contained S.171 persons, so that the State paid S2Sl.490.fto less than it would have paid in 1S90. This is the result of the business methods which came with Bepublican supremacy. Do the voters who read the Journal desire that this policy shall continue, or are some of them weary of it and desire to return to the old and irresponsible method? If they are anxious to have such a change they can be very certain of securing it by voting for the Democratic ticket which so surely represents Taggartism as exemplified by the extravagance and corrupt rule of the recent regime In Indianapolis. On the other hand voters who believe in clean and competent management of State affairs will vote the entire Republican State ticket. "sssssssssssssbssssbbss THE COLD STANDARD AND CRI3IE. The following is from Mr. Bryan's book, published nearly four years ago, entitled "The First Battle:" The gold standard means dearer money; dearer money means cheaper property cheaper property means harder times; harder times means more people out of work; more people out of work means more people destitute; more people destitute means more people desperate; more people desperate means more crime. This Is from a speech delivered by Mr. Bryan at Minneapolis, and which he thought worthy of insertion in his catchpenny book. It is a sort of "The House that Jack Built" argument to prove that the gold standard causes crime. Observe the statements It contains which have been disproved by experience. "The gold standard means dearer money;" money is cheaper l.ow, that is the rate of Interest is lower, than was ever known before. Property, instead of being cheaper, is higher than it was four years ago; times are better instead of harder; fewer people are out of work Instead of more, and, of course, fewer people are destitute. These misstatements and false predictions are UU hundreds of others which Mr. Bryan

made In 1S06 and has repeated during the present campaign. It is true there is some connection between hard times, destitution and crime, but there is none whatever between these and the gold standard. If the gold standard is productive of or conducive to poverty and crime, then crime should have been increasing in this country in a greater ratio than population for many years past, and especially since the gold standard was established by law. The reverse is true. In an address delivered in this city last Sunday night, J. W. Comfort, chaplain of the Indiana Reformatory, said that the number of prisoners In the Indiana Reformatory is decreasing, and assigned as one of the reasons "the splendid business activity that has .been omnipresent throughout , the length and breadth of our whole country during the last three years." Ha added: "I don't say anything about the full dinner pail, because I am not a politician, but thlä I do know, that the employment of idle hands leaves no time for thoughts of crime, and that honest employment knocks a hole in the record of crime." The same is true of the State prison, or the old Northern prison, where the number of inmates. Instead of increasing, from year to year with the population, decreased fiom 8SS in 1S03 to 763 in 1S33. In the Massachusetts prison there were only eleven more convicts in 1SS3 than there were in 1S37, while the number in the Reformatory decreased from 093 in 1S97 to SCO in 1SD9. No doubt the penal statistics of every Northern State would show a marked diminution of crime In proportion to population between the hard times period of 1S33 to 1S06 and the prosperity period of 1S37 to 1M0. It is hardly worth while, however, to expose Mr. Bryan's fallacies and misstatements. His ignorance of facts and of the principles of finance and political economy is only equaled by the wildness of his predictions and the recklessness with which he draws on his imagination for facts.

Richard Croker, the Tammany boss, has sent out a warning to Democrats that attempts will bo made to count out .Mr. Bryan on election day. He says: Every man who votes for Bryan should see that his vote is counted, and there Is only one way to do that safely. My advice to Democratic voters the country over is to congregate about the polling places on the evening of election day, count noses, and then, if the election returns for Bryan don't tally with their count, to go into the polling places and throw those fellows in charge of the returns into the street. This is notice to tho Tammany gang in New York and to. Democrats generally to resort to violence if necessary to carry the election. It shows the desperation of the Bryan crowd. It is the same spirit that led to assaults on Governor Roosevelt at several places and finally in his own State, at Elmira, the home of the Democratic candidate for Governor. Croker is playing a desperate game for a big stake, and will stop at nothing to carry his point, and the spirit of Crokerlsm is the spirit of Bryanlsm everywhere. The honor of the Nation and the safety of the government require the overwhelming defeat of the "combine." October 30, 1S96, Bourke Cockran said: The platform of Bryan and the crowd of lunatics and ruffians who follow him stands for anarchy and riot. Wretches like Tillman, who misrepresent the South, are among his foremost adherents. October CO, 1S96, Altgeld, then Governor of Illinois, made the following prediction: The enthusiasm for. our cause in this State (Illinois) to-day amounts to almost a religious fervor. I am satisfied we are going to carry this State by from 65,000 to 85,000 majority. I am satisfied wehere going to -carry every Southern State and overy State west of the Missouri, including Minnesota. These alone will elect Bryan, but in addition we are going to carry Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. To-day 1 received information about conditions in Ohio which indicate that we are going to carry that State by nearly 40,000 majority. This prediction was made four days before the election. Illinois was Republican by 142,500, Iowa by 65,30", Indiana by 17.542, Michigan by 56,000 and Ohio by 43,434. Altgeld's friends made similar predictions In 1S96 and they are doing so now. A dispatch from Omaha says that crop reports from every county in Nebraska, except nine, which are devoted to grazing, show that the four staple crops of the State will net the farmeru the largest sum in its history, a comparison is made between present prices and those of 1S96, as follows: The total estimated yield of corn Is 211,W3.527 bushels, bringing in, at 30 cents a bushel. $72,5S0,C58. The same amount in 1S96, at 14 cents a bushel, would have brought 533,870.973.78. The wheat yield is 39,701.633 bushels, at 58 cents, while the price was 35 cents in 1&96. The farmers will market 4S,7S5,422 bushels of oats, at 18 cents, as against 10 cents four years ago, and 3,520,877 bushels of rye at 33 cents, which brought 16 cents in 1S3G. The same crop of the four staples would have been worth In the Democratic times of IS9Ö $32,533 695 less than to-day. ' On the day after Mr. Bryan's first speech at Louisville, in 1S06, the CourierJournal of that city said: Mr. William J. Bryan has come to Kentucky, and Kentucklans have taken his measure. He is a boy orator. He Is a dishonest dodger. He is a daring adventurer. He is a political fakir, He is not of the material of which the people of the United States have ever made a President, nor is he even of the material of which any party has ever before made a candidate. At that time the Courier-Journal was expressing Its honest convictions. Now it is supporting Mr. Bryan for business reasonsfor revenue only. The party managers who try to frighten voters by a bogus military enrollment in German sections of the State, and whose henchmen go about advising colored men to put a cross at the bottom of their ballots if they are opposed to negro disfranchisement in North Carolina are a choice lot of political knaves. It is reported that Mark Twain is to have for his neighbor at Hartford Mr. Ernest Seton-Thompson. and that the humorist is looking forward with interest to making the acquaintance of the various wild animals which are to be a feature of tho Thompson establishment. The information that Thompson keeps a menagerie cn his premises will, to many of his admirers, seem not quite in keeping with his sympathetic attitude toward them in the wild state. The one Idea above all others impressed upon the readers of Thompson's animal studies Is that the creatures have the jlght to live their lives in their own way, and that way Is certainly not captivity. Can it be that Mr. Thompson studies the wild animals from the outside of a cage and draws on his Imagination for the nature setting? Insuring: Acalnst Bryan. Nebraska State Journal. The Lloyd insurance people of London to quiet the nerves of business people who fear a collapse In case of the election of Bryan have begun to Issue policies of in

surance against Bryan's election at ID per cent, premium. The conditions of the policy are that in case of Bryan's election the Insured will be considered as having met with a total loss and the whole amount of the policy will be paid. This is in effect a bet of nine to one on the election of McKinley. BUBBLES IN THE AIR.

Says His Statements, on Which the Conviction Largely Rest, Were Without Foundation in Fuct. PAID TOR BY G0EBEL BROTHERS AT THE INSTIGATION OF ATTORNEY T03I CAMPBELL. Anderson Sayn He Received $300 for So Testifying Confeanes to Pat His Conscience at Rest. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 30. The EvenPost to-day prints an affidavit of Finley B. Anderson, a telegraph operator, who testified against Caleb Towers, who wras convicted of complicity in the murder of William Goebel, in which Anderson denies certain important statements that he made on the witness stand in the Powers trial. Anderson tells of meeting Attorney Campbell in Cincinnati, and continues in his affidavit; "Colonel Campbell then told me that Joe Owens had told him that I had said that Caleb Powers, at the hotel in Barboursville. prior to the 2öth of January, had used these words, speaking of Willlam Goebel: 'If we cannot get him killed, and it is necessary. I will kill him myself.' I said to Mr. Campbell that I had never told any one any such thing and that" Powers had not made such a statement to me nor any statement resembling it in any way. Campbell and Owens insisted I nad made such a statement, and I afterward, upon Campbell's suggestion, sat down and wrote out a statement, in which I included the foregoing statement of Powers, which was untrue in every particular, and upon the trial of Caleb Powers 1 swore to it as a fact, when in truth it was not a fact. "I remained in Cincinnati after this conversation with Campbell, and some time after that Mr. Arthur Goebel, in his store, upstairs on the fourth floor, where I had gone at his request, asked me if Powers had not, in my presence at Barboursville, In January, said to me In substance these words, referring to William Goebel: They say he wears a coat of mall, but It won't do him any good,' or something similar to that. I told Arthur Goebel that Powers had never said anything of that sort in my presence to the best of my knowledge. He told me to think and see if I could not remember it. I could not remember such a remark, and I know that Powers never did make such a remark or anything resembling it in my presence, but, being urged by Arthur Goebel, I finally concluded to state that he did make such a statement, and so swore on the stand In the trial, which testimony was false. "Before making my satement to Campbell, Goebel told me to make it as strong as possible, as they (referring to Campbell and Goebel) would take care of me and protect me. I desire now to say that I never had but one conversation with Caleb Powers, and that was In relation to my going to Frankfort with the men on the 2oth of January, and at no place was the name of William Goebel mentioned or referred to in any way or in any connection by Caleb Powers. "I desire, furthermore, to state that either upon the occasion of the first conversation with Campbell or the day after I received from him $10 in cash, and since that conversation I have received from him, both before and after I was a witness at Georgetown in the Powers case, various sums of money, and I have, since such conversation with Campbell and Arthur Goebel, received from Arthur Goebel various sums, aggregating about $300. and on one occasion $10 from Justus Goebel. The last sum I received was on Tuesday, Oct. 23. IDoO, which was $T, given to me by Colonel Campbell at his ofilco in Cincinnati. Just prior to giving me this $5 Campbell had tele phoned to Arthur Goebel to come to his office, which Goebel did, and when he arrived at Campbell's office he went into a private oßce with Campbell and Campbell came out and handed me $3." Anderson gives further alleged dates and names and concludes his affidavit thus: "I believe my testimony in the trial of Caleb Powers aided in his conviction, and I am unwilling to suffer longer in silence, by reason of the thought that the falsity of my statements have aided in convicting Caleb Powers." PORTO RICAN CANNOT VOTE. Natives of the Island Not Citizens of the United States Proper. NEW YORK, Oct. W.-The application of Frank Juarbe. a Porto Rican, for a per emptory writ of mandamus directing the board of registry to register him as u voter, on the ground that he became an American citizen by virtue of the cession of Porto Itlco by Spain to the United States, has been denied by Justice, Freedrran. In the Supreme Court. ' Justice Freedman. in his opinion, cites Article i of the Constitution of the United States! stating that all persons born or naturalized in tho United States and snhifrt tn th jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the unueu ciitirs auu vi me snaie wnere they reside. Tho papers, he says, show that Juarbe was not born in the United States and do not shew that he was naturalized. Justice Freedman. in his decision, says that the treaty taking over the inland of Porto Bico did not make the Inhabitants of the Territory citizens of the United States, but, on the contrary, left the determination of their civil rights and of their political status to the future action of Congress, and. he says. Congress hau not yet acted. He. therefore, denied the motion to compel the board of registry to i&roll Juarbe.

HE'S A TRUST KILLER

nilVAN AGAIN TELLS WHAT HE WILL DO IF I!E IS ELECTED. Says He Will Kun the Nation on the Same Narrow Populist Policy that Prevails In Nebraska WILL MASSACRE INDUSTRIES IN A GENERAL CRUSADE AGAINST ALL BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. Last Day of the Nebrnskan's Cunvas ol Nevr York State Questions Dodged at Alfred. DUNKIRK. N. Y., Oct. S0.-W. J. Bryan concluded the final day of his last 'campaign tour in this city to-night. He began the day at the town of Addison, and spoke at the following other places: Horiiellsville, Almond, Alfred, Andover, Wellsvllle, Belmont, Friendship, Cuba, Hinsdale, Olean, Salamanca, Randolph. Jamestown and Dunkirk. All these towns are in the southwestern xart of the State and all havd been strongly Republican in politics. The meetings of the day were generally well attended and some, of them quite enthusiastic. Mr. Bryan left late to-night on the Lake Shore Railroad for Ohio, expecting to begin a one-day tour of that State with a speech at Toledo to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. All told he has made about 110 speeches In this State. Soon after daylight this morning Mr. Bryan's train passed through Elmlra, where Governor Roosevelt's train was tied up preparatory to beginning his day's work. Mr. Bryan was sound asleep at the time, and there was no exchange of courtesies between the rival candidates. By the time Addison was reached the rain, which had set in a few miles further east, began a pronounced downpour, but the crowd was large and enthusiastic and Mr. Bryan appeared in excellent condition. In beginning his speech Mr. Bryan said: "You show a great deal of interest to come out here early in the morning in the rain to hear a speech of five minutes. The very fact that you are here shows that you do not need a speech even of five minutes. It shows that you have already made up your minds how to vote and are anxious for next Tuesday to come in order that you may register a protest against the trusts, against a large army and against the imperial policy of the administration." Mr. Bryan then dwelt briefly on what he conceived to be the evil of trusts, militarism, territorial expansion and the colonial policy of the Republican party. "I need, not tell you." he said, "that if our carpet-baggers steal In Cuba, within 200 miles of us, they will steal still more when they get across the Pacific. All that I need to tell you is that the Democratic party believes - In liberty here and believes in liberty in the Philippines also; that it wants self-government here and Is willing to give it to the people who live in the Philippine islands. All that I need to tell you is that we want to make that declaration now and not after the Filipinos are dead. If you are going to give freedom to the Filipinos you want to give it to live people and not to dead ones." WHAT BRYAN WILL DO. The rain, which had been falling ac Addison, had diminished somewhat by the time Mr. Bryan's train reached Hornellsville. He spoke there for about half an hour, and had another large crowd, which was closely attentive. At that point he elaborated on the theory advanced by him yesterday that the Republicans had already abandoned their principal campaign argument, which was the full dinner pail. In discussing the trust question he said that if the New York officials were disposed to do so they could get rid of the ice trust. Just as the Democrats and Populists got rid of a trust in Nebraska. "We'll have a President from Nebraska, too," some one shouted. To this Mr. Bryan responded: "If you do have a President from Nebraska you will have the same kind of trust policy in tho United States that we have in Nebraska. We prosecute them out there." Mr. Bryan addressed a small body of people at Almond for five minutes. He told them how Important it was to have the government administered on the principle oi equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and said if this principle was applied it would remedy all the evils of trusts and Imperialism. Mr. Bryan did not have a large crowd at Alfred, the seat of Alfred University, but he had an interesting meeting. He said: "I am told that Senater Teller was once a student here. That would be enough to distinguish your Institution if you produce no other great man, for I regard Senator Teller as not only one of the ablest men of our country, but he has shown strength of conviction and a. willfnsmp) tn fniinnr his convictions that ought to be an ex ample to every ydUng men in this country, for a young man can afford to be in a minority, but he cannot afford to be wrong. You will find, as Jefferson said, that a firm adherence to a great principle is the best handmaid even unto ambition." BRYAN INTERRUPTED. Continuing his remarks to the students Mr. Bryan admonished them to form high ideals and to hold fast to them, even after they enter upon their respective careers in the business world. A mldle-aged man in the crowd -with a large colored picture of President McKinley's face on his chest. advanced to a position In front of Mr. Bryan, and said, in a loud, shrill voice: "You can talk about free silver without any paper." To this Mr. Bryan responded: "Yes, sir; if T had no regard for hnmnn richte t would talk about dollars, but I am talking io your neaus auu not to your pocketbooks." To the audience Mr. Bryan said: 'For the benefit of that poor, sordid soul that wants to talk about money I want to ask him whv it is that he is SO lvnrrldil nhnnt &0-cent dollars and not worried about an 85 per cent, citizenship In Porto Rico." apparenuy ine jurenoner in tne crowd was not dismayed, for he hrrv- intn Bryan's remarks with a question, wanting io Know j iow iv imjjpencu mat you can go to Mexico with a dollar of American money and get two dollars of the money ol that country with it?" Mr. Hrvan's retlv was as follows- "Vn.i try that and you will find that they knowenough in Mexico not to let you have hom Whf-n Lincoln was hum ha iii.i about human rights, but now Republicans cannot taiK aooui anyinmg hut dollars. and wnen we wameu io raiK about dollars in 18S6 they wanted to talk about the tariff, and before this pamnirn i over they will go bac to the civil war. and their only argument will be who put down the rebellion, anyhow?" fr Hrvan's 9UdienCt at fllhfi u-aa orwrviposed largely of men. and, notwithstanding mat rain irw uunus me enure time he was speaking, he held to the end. There was close attention and frequent though not general applause. He again discussed the trusts and the army question, but took occasion to give his usual explanation of why the subject of the finances was not receiving more attention at his hand. Mr. Bryan was introduced to. the large audience which assembled at the railroad station to welcome mm to wellsville by Mr Arnnfnn M.irble Wlvell 'Mr Is a 'resident of Wellsville. but a student Of Cornell university. nne .Mr. Bryan was speaking two boys, one of them much larger than the other, got Into a quarrel and the large o-e struck the smaller one with his flat.

The boy seemed to forget his aiillction in the handshaking, and when Mr. Bryan handed him a rose from a bunch held in Mrs. Bryan's hands his cup of joy eetmed quite complete. In his speech at Olean Mr. Bryan again talked to an audience composed almost exclusively of men, and anions thera was a

great many laborers. Here again he referred to the charges that he was evading the old issues, and spoke at some lensth in explanation of his course and that of his party in the campaign. AT SALAMANCA. Mr. Bryan spoke for about forty minutes at Salamanca, and whl!e he was spenklng Mrs. Bryan was entertained by a committee cf women. The crowd at this place was large and a fair degree of enthusiasm was manifested. Introducing hi speech Mr. Bryan made an appeal for Republican votes. He said: "No one makes a greater mistake than the man who assumes that any large number of the people desire bad government, and no one makes a greater mistake than the man who assumes that any large number of the people lack patriotism. You remember the campaign of 189 and you remember how deeply the people were stirred, and you remember that those who were with me in the campaign were called all sorts of names, and I myself did not escape; and yet within two years after that campaign a war broke out. and the President asked for volunteers, and the people responded, and I think it is safe to say that more men responded who voted for me than responded who voted for the President himself. There you found political differences forgotten, and I think it is safe to say that in every campaign and in every regiment we found men differing in politics, but loving their country. I know that in my own regiment a majority of my own officers were Republican and a majority of the privates were with me, and so it was throughout the various regiments, and then people found that the men whom the Republicans called Anarchists in lSDo were the Nation's protection in l$üi I believe that If I were elected and war broke out and I called for volunteers, that Republicans would respond just like Democrats. Our people are patriots, and these differences from time to time on political questions ouht not to blind people to the fact that back of all political questions there is the purpose of the citizen to do the best with the light that he has for his country and for posterity, and, therefore, when I talk to you, when I talK to Republicans, I talk to them, not as Republicans, but as citizens; not as people who love a party, but as people who leve the country better than any party. It I cannot show a Republican a better way to serve his country than by voting the Republiean ticket I do not expect him to change his politics, but If I can show him that the Democratic party offers him a better opportunity to voice his own sentiment, protect his own rights and advance his moral welfare than the Republican party does, I have a right tobelieve that I can appeal to his judgment and his conscience and draw him out of the Republican party." IN A CHAUTAUQUA HALL. Mr. Bryan arrived at Jamestown at 4:40 p. m. and a stop of about two hours was made. He made only a brief speech, but his principal address was made at Celeron, three miles distant, on Lake Chautauqua. Ho was escorted to that resort by a local committee. The mode of conveyance was a trolley car. While the trolley trip was in progress a heavy rainstorm came up. When Mr. Bryan alighted from the car he found himself in a very wet atmosphere. He was soon, however, under shelter in a large building called the Auditorium, where he made his speech. This building holds several thousand, and every available bit of space was occupied. Mr. Bryan began his speech with a discussion of the question of prosperity, denying that there is as general prosperity as has been claimed. On the subject he said in part: "Go to your sweat shops if you will and talk of prosperity to those who work In the sweat shops. Go If you will and talk prosperity to a laboring man who has to send his boys and girls away from home to work when they ought to be in school. Talk to him about prosperity. You want to keep conditions Just as they are. Why conditions to-day are such that the men who produce wealth are getting each year a less percentage of the wealth they produce, while the speculator is getting a larger and larger per centage of the country's wealth." Giving his remedy for trusts Mr. Bryan said that he would take the tariff off of every trust-manufactured article as one means of preventing the formation of trust combinations. "But here," he said, "you have been in favor of protection. Your votes show that , your country has been largely devoted to a protective tariff. But how can any man defend a protective tariff, when a trust hides behind it and plunders the American citizen and then treats foreign nations more kindly than the home country. In closing Mr. Bryan said: "I believe from what I have seen in this State that the Democracy of this State is united for victory. You have had up here In this section your distinguished ex-senator and it is not necesary for me to make a speech in this part of the State where Mr. Hill has discussed the issues of this campaign. You find down In New York our people are united there. In New York city, in Brooklyn, all over this State, they are fighting, and they are determined that In this contest between an American idea and & European idea New York shall be on the side of the United States and not on the side of Europe." ALV0RD ARRAIGNED.

State and Federal Officials Both Anxious to Try the Embezzler. NEW YORK, Oct. SO.-Cornellus L. Alvord, jr., the embezzling note teller of the First National Bank, who was arrested yesterday In Boston, was arraigned in Police Court here to-day and remanded to police headquarters till 3 o'clock this afternoon In order to give the legal authorities time to decide whether he shall be tried before the United States or State courts. Alvord was accompanied by his counsel. A conference had been arranged between United States District Attorney Burnett and Asa Bird Gardner, district attorney for New York county, to decide upon the disposition of Alvord's case. When Alvord was rearralgned in Police Court this afternoon, Fisher A. Baker, counsel for the First National Bank, said that he had secured a warrant from the United States District Court for Alvord's arrest under the laws regulating embezzlement and making false entries. lie said he would much prefer that the prisoner go before the United States courts for trial. This was opposed by District Attorney Gardiner. Alvord's attorney apparently tcok little interest in this part of the proceedings. After some discussion the whole matter went over until to-morrow. Alvord was committed to the Tombs. It appears probable there may be a long contest as to Jurisdiction, District Attorney Gardiner apparently being determined that the prisoner shall be tried in a State court. Shonld Be Consistent.
