'Owosso Depot. Mich.. October 17.—After g night's rest, William J. Bryan awoke this morning refreshed and in gcod condition to continue hi* record-breaking trip through Michigan. He said he was completely rested, and In order to prove k'.s statement started In with his speechmaking at 8 o’clock at St. Johna His voice was in good condition and. as he expressed it, he was ready to do another day’s work such as yesterday and throw in a half dosen more' addreoaes for good mesure. At Lansing last night before the car In which Air. Bryan rode got out of town, six speeches had been made by the nominee. Newspaper correspondents could not keep <raok of him j» the great crowd, and not until he had at last got in the special car as It p’ lied out of the station was it kndwn by hem how many speeches he Shdrtty after Mr. Bryan had returned from the platform and while Justin Whiting was speaking, the speaker’s stand went down with tifty people on it, falling about six feet. Yesterday at Albion the platform from which the candidate was addressing the audience collapsed. Fortunately no cne was injured at either place, and the result was that this morning John W. Tomlinson wired the national committee to urge the local committees to use more care In the build-

ing of speakers' stands.

The first stop this jnornlng was at St. Johns, where for twenty-five minutes he spoke to a large crowd of enthusiastic admirers. At Ovid a three-minute talk was made from the car platform, and the few people gathered cheered the nominee

I received by special delivery a copy of th Owosso Press of October 14. From the fact that it bore no stamp except the spe clai delivery stamp, I assume that it was sent by the editor himself. The paper contains soma questions submitted to me. Aa this paper is not supporting me, I think 1 •m justified In asking some questions mytself.

Mj\ Bryan: I repeat the question. You have aoked me questions. You ought to be willing to answer questions. "Did you Indorse the minority plank at Chicago?”

Again there was no answer.

Mr. Bryan: "Well, my friends, I have spent so much time trying to find the editor of Ahlo paper, end to unmask a man who is seeking'to elect a Republican by pretending to support the Indianapolis* ticket, that I find I have no time left to talk to -you- I oak you to remember that the gold standard never fought an open fight.

the number of dollars. That principle is fundamental. That principle is simply the application of a general law to the money question. The law of supply and demand Is the best-known law of trade and commerce. We apply it every day. We know, for uwtance, that if there is a drought and short crop of anything that the price of that article will rise. Why? Because the demand remains the same and the supply Is diminished. Theretore, the value of It In the market must rise. We can apply that to everything. Now, that law tvhich you understand In every-day operation is true of the money question; also that the value of the dollar depends on the number of dollars. Then, how can you make money dear? By making money scarce. How can you reduce the value of dollars?

You talk lo a bimetallist and he will tell you that ne believes bemetal'jflism is good for him, because he beilleves it is also good for other people. But when you find a person who believes that a thing Is good for him, but not good for other people, he will not admit that thing is for him. (Applause.) “The advocates of the gold standard add the crime of hypocrisy to the sin of avarice. I do not mean that those who ignorantly advocate the gold standard without undorstanding its effects are guilty of this, but I mean that those who stand behind the gold crusade, those who are attempting, under the disguise of being International bimetallists, to fasten the gold standard upon this country never tell you their Interest.

The details of Ambassador Pauncefote’s instructions will, of course, not ba known until after his arrival here, but the State Department has information of the general nature of the new proposRions to be submitted by the British government, and It can be reliably stated that the President and Secretary Olney are satisfied from the Information they have that there will be absolutely no difficulty in adjusting whatever slight

Employes of Lake Shore Railroad, to, the number of several hundred, are now awaiting their turn to greet Major McKinley.

SPEECHES TO THE DELEGATIONS. Four Addresses By McKinley Before Noon To-Day. Associated Press Dispatch, Canton, O., October 17.—Major McKinley began speaking before breakfast today.

They xvere introduced as representative business men, farmers and other citizens of that territory by D. A. Curtis. While Major Mt-

facturers of this couhtlry to know just what their competition will be abroad, and

then prepare for it.

"Then, more than that, we want to have a currency In this country that is unchangeable in value and equal to the best money In the world. We want everybody In and out of this country to know that we are not a* nation of repudiators, and that we do not mean either to cheat ourselves by a short dollar or anybody else.. Our dollars hereafter, as now and ever since 1879, shall continue^ to be worth one hundred cents each in gold; gnd not only at home, but w r herever trade goes. (Hefe a man in the crowd held up one of the large imitation sliver dollars, and said: ’There’s the other kind!’ amid great laughter and applause.) I take It this other kind ts not what any of you want. What you want Is the dollar you have now, and the only trouble is that you are not getting enough of them, jand the reason you are not getting enough of them la because you have not work enough. “Now. whatever will put our people to work is the true, patriotic and American policy, and the onte which by your votes on the 3d day of jfovember you can determine upon, for nobody determines anything for the American people but the American people themselves. They are supreme, acknowledge no other earthly sovereign but ourselves, and will exercise that sovereignty two weeks from next Tuesday. Why, they say our money Is too good. Nothing Is too good for the American people. Money too good? Good money never made hard times, and poor money never brought good times. The old men in this audience will agree to that from their own experience. Money too good? Why, labor In 1892 was never so well paid in aii our history—labor was higher and interest

lower than ever before.

To West Virginians. To the delegations from Wqst Virginia,

Major McKinley said:

"Gentlemen of West Virginia, passion and prejudice have no place in such an examination. Party predilections should not influence our calm and sober judgment. Partisan or sectional bitterness can not properly enter tnto this consideration. Let the facts alone; let his own personal experience be hls guide; let him be governed by the truth and abide by it. and

West Virginia? Do you want a return of that prosperity which you so signally enjoyed from 1880 to 1890? (Cries of ’fou bet we do!’) Then, my fellow-citizens, the way to accomplish that ts to vote for that party—not for the individual—but to vote for that party that has always stood for a protective tariff and believes in protecting our own as against all the world. “This, my fellow-citizens, has been the principle of the republican party from the beginning. It is its principle now and our party believes now, as it always has believed, that the business of this country must be done with dollars that are worth 100 cents each in every State of the Union, and in every part of the civilized world. We do not want a cheap dollar any more than we want cheap men. We no more want free silver than we want free trade. We want sound money and a protective tariff, and then we want, by our votes on the 2d of November, to tell the whole world that this is a Government of lawend a Government of integrity and of

unsullied honor.’’

policy of protection to American farms, industry, enterprise and labor is a broad national policy. It has not a ttnge of sectionalism in it; it Is sound in truth and wholesome in practice. It is not narrow and provincial, but wide in ita blessings and Us benefits, always promoting industrial growth, serving national ends, rewarding individual effort and advancing just aspirations and hopes of the American people. It is the doctrine of true patriotism; the welfare of our country ana countrymen first: our home and our families first; and ardent, sincere and genuine Americanism that loves our flag bettetthan any other, and would rather suoser%e our own Interests than the interests

Washington* D. C., October 17.-Abra-ham Lincoln's tall black beaver hat, with wide, flat brim, so familiar to those who saw the martyred President, and Inseperable from the usual photographs of him, occupied a prominent place in Criminal Court No. 1 yesterday. Rusty and dusty, fast turning a whitish color, the ancient relic appeared in a controversy between Dr. James O. Adams and bis wife, administrators of the estate of the late Rev. Phineas D. Gurley, pastor of the New York-avenue Presbyterian church, which President Lincoln attended, and Osborn H. Oldroyd, the custodian of the Government Museum in the house in Tenth street, in which President Lincoln died. Op behglf of Dr. and Mrs. Adfims, their attorney explained that the case was appealed from a justice of the peace court several months ago by Mr. OldrOyd. Justice Church having awarded the hat to Dr. and Mrs. Ad-

ams.

The hat was once worn by President Lincoln, and some time after hls death it was presented by hls widow to Dr. Gurley. When Dr. Gurley died, his son, Melville, placed the hat in the Patent Office on exhibition. where it remained a number or years. When next seen by Dr. Gurleye family it was In the Government Museum in Tenth street. Their demand for it being refused by Custodian Oldroyd, they sought to regain possession of it by a sun of replevin. Justice Church gave judgment in favor of Dr. and Mrs. Adame, whereupon, the Government noted an ap-

peal.

District Attorney Birney said the hat was never in the possession of Dr. Gurley or his family. On the contrary, the hat was worn by President Lincoln when he was assassinated. A chair he occupied at the theater when shot and the hat were taken possession of by the Judge Advo-cate-General, and delivered to the War Department. After communicating with Mrs. Lincoln and her son Robert, the War Department transferred the hat to the Washington Memorial Association. Subrequently the association deposited the hat In the Smithsonian Institution, from

managers to enlist him in the campaign. James Murdoc’-'s sudden entrance into the fight was pleasant news to the silver Democratic leaders here. It came unexpectedly to the Republicane, but they think they have counteracted the effects of Mr. Murdock's sudden espousal of the silver cause In Indiana. Have Abandoned Illlnol*. The rational leaders have practically abandoned the fight to carry Illinois. There has been no enthusiasm In the campaign In Cook county since the great demonstration against silver on Chicago Day. Before that event the silver leaders had planned to make Chicago Day the signal for a great burst of free silver enthusiasm that was to sweep Chicago from her Republican moorings. Speakers of national reputation were to be brought here on 1 that day, and kept here until the eve of | election. One hundred meetings on an average were to be held every night. But the set-back sliver received in the home of Governor Altgeld on Chicago Day seems to have been lasting. There has been no life in the silver campaign since. Governor Altgeld will open hls campaign here next Tuesday night, at the Auditorium. W. J. Bryan will be here the week following, but it is all the effort or Altgeld's friends to save the Governor. The national ticket Is lost so far as Illinois Is concerned. While publicly claiming the State, Senator Jones admits In private that it Is lost to the Democrats, and says he looks to Indiana and Michigan to elect Bryan. To Fight In Indiana. Right at this point the importance of last night’s conference with the Indiana Democratic leaders comes in Every bit of political energy In the silver campaign will be directed on Indiana, commencing nexi week. It is learned on goad authority that a large slice of the money contributed by the silver mine-owners will be sent Into the State on the eve of election, the mine-owners having been holding back tnelr contributions to the last moment, allowing the national committee to struggle along with scarcely enough money to meet running expenses. Stevens, who has be«i .ielegatxd to collect thes-\ subscriptions, is here, ami there Is the veiy highest authority for stating that vaat sums will bo sent to Indiana to advance the silver cause there, because the Democratic national committee believes the State’s electoral vote is essential to their success.

Mr. Bryan. These elements have all united upon a single State and electoral ticket, and they are also on in nearly every congressional and legislative district in the State. Not all the Prohibitionist?, but five-sixths of them, nor all the Democrats, but 99 per cent, of them, with fhe solid Populist phalanx, are for the ticket. These .one, conditions being normal, would wui the State. But conditions are not normal On the contrary, the McKinley ranks are In a state of dissolution. Take the State over and not less than 10 per cent, of the heretofore reliable Republican voters have openly and defiantly left the party, and they are coming out of it in constantly increasing numbers as the realisms of gold are made clear.
