BRYAN AT HIS HOME* Hearty Reception of the Mew Leader hy Hla Old Neighbor*—Impromptu Speech In a Main Storm—Should the Voice of the People Call Him Temporarily to a Higher Station, He WUl Ketara to the Home of HU Choice. Lincoln, Neb.. July 17.—To-night Lincoln is delirious. The delirium be- ; gnu when the train bearing the nominee was sighted' by the thoi^ands gathered in and about the railway sta-j '■ tion. How many thousands were there it would be difficult to estimate. Men, women and children with tin horns which they blew lustily; steam : cal topes, steam whistles, caunon. fire- | crackers and everything else that could be conveniently handled, helped turn the vicinity of the statiou into a pandemonium. As Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, with the Lincoln contingent that had gone to meet them, stepped from the train, a mighty shout weut up from the crowd, und then began the uproar of artificial noise, shrieks, grunts, whistles and howls, continued with a persistence that showed a keen enjoyment on the part of those handling the instruments of torture. In some way Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, their children and the others with them managed to get through the assembled masses and. were placed in carriages. Mayor Graham and a reception committee had charge of the arrangements, and uuder tlieir direction the' nominee's party were conveyed to the Gryau residence, 1623 D street, where neighbors and friends were wajting to give them hearty welcome. At 8:30 o’clock Mr. Bryan went tc the Lincoln hotel in a-carriage to take his place in the parade. It had begun to raia by this time, but the ardor ol the people was not. diminished’, and when Mr. Bryan drove up to the hotel he was greeted with a repetition of the wild en thus.asm, expressed by lung power and by the instruments of torture, that had been given him on his arrival St the railway station. Then the procession was started for the suite house. A platoon of police led the parade. First came F. A. Miller, chief marshal, and his staff, including a number of army and national guard officers, followed by the Second regiment band and the Lincoln Light lufantry. Mr. Bryan came next, aud after him Company I),of the First regiment, N. N. ti. State, county and city officials followed in turn, aud the rest of the procession was made up of civic organisations of every character, including traveling m -n and relief societies. The liryam home guards bore fiautbeaus and discharged rockets, while many of thwother paraders also indulge*,! in pyrotechnic displays. A brass band headed nearly every

organize turn, aim there was uo lack, of musical effect. Racked iu the ram outside the state house we re people by the thousands. They eared uothiug lor the wet under fool ami the wet overhead, but stood in the mud as patiently as if it had been the most profutiohs weather. And their enthusiasm was somethin^ wonderful. Nearly .every young man and young womau was provided with a tin horn and they spared not their lungs, j'ltut the cheers drowued out all other noises. When .Mr. Bryan was introduced the shout that went up was a mighty one, aud was repeated over aud over again. A temporary platform had been created at the north exterior of the building aud ffom this Mr. Bryan spoke. Mr. llryan said: Fslxoh Citizens: I am proud to-night u be able to shy of those who are assembled here. "Tfyess are my friends." iApplause.} J beg to) express to republicans, democrats. ;■ , pr h uiomsts aud ail parlies the g:,ii;u.,it| which we” feel for this maguiUc« ;it Ueajioastrauou.

NEW YORK BANKERS, Assembled In Convention at Niagara Falls, Fass Gold Standard Revolution* And OMi*M that Freo Silver Would Haro a Crnthla; Effect I'pou Business and Demoralise Eubllc Morals and Honor Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 20.— The following resolutions were adopted Saturday by the New York State Bankers’ convention: “We declare that the bankers of this state have no selfish or class in* terest in the establishment of any particular kind of money as currency, nor are we benefited as a class by th* maintenance of one metal as the standard to the exclusion of others. The chartered banking institutions of the state of New York are indebted to the public at large in the form of deposits subject to check, in the sum of 51,S»4,300,000, while the public tere indebted to us in the form of loans and discounts in the sum of $1,261,000,000. Being debtors iu this very large j imouut, with our payables largely ex- j ceeding our receivables, we believe ! the part of wisdom and the part of honor for the United States is to maintain the preseut gold standard of value. j “We believe it would be criminal folly to break away from the most advanced and civilized nations to join China and Mexico upon the silver basis. In all countries where the gold standard prevails both gold and silver circulate as money. In all the countries where the silver standard prevails there is no gold in circulation as money. The free coinage of silver means the repudiation of SOpereent. of indebtedness. This would be true only of existiug debts. The sagacious instinct of trade would correct this wrong as to future contracts by doubling the price of commodities. Hence the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 'to 1 means a great inflation of prices without any increase of values. *Just in proportion to this inflation would the purchasing power/^f a dollar be decreased. It means a silver basis aud silver monometallism. It means that the $60,000,000 of gold now in circulation won id go to a premium, would cease to circulate as money ami become a commodity simply, whether coined or uncoined. It would produce a violent contraction of the currency to the extent to w hich gold-now in circulation ceased to circulate as money. It would not only unsettle,- but would thoroughly demoralize business. All classes “would sutler. Those would suffer most who are leas! able to take care of themselves, that is, the laboring classes. The crushing effect upon business would be equalled only by the demoralizing effect upon public morals and the public sense of hon

or, lowered aud humiliated as they would he by such au act of repudiation. Wo believe it to bo the duty of all good and patriotic citizens to uuite their efforts iu preventing such a calamity. We believe it to be the duty of the government to maintain the gold standard aud preserve the {ferity of all forms of currency which it ai* j lows to circulate as money. “We believe this to be indispensable : In order to protect and foster the interests of our citizens and preserve to the United States the paramount position which she occupies in the sisterhood of nations. “The large number of urgent letters and telegrams received from democrats; all over the country emphasizes to us tiie necessity and wisdom of a third ticket. Except in a few instances these are fre m individuals. This sentiment must be erystaiized into some kind of state orgaMzatiou before any effective steps can be taken towards deciding upon or calling another convention. The sound money leaders of the other states should call together for a conference the representative sound money demo- j eruts of their states, as has been done ' iu Illinois and Minnesota. /The question of a'third tieket should be considered from a national and not a local standpoint. The question is, not what is best for Illinois democrats, for. they have no interest in it that Is not common to the honest money iiern >erats of all the other states. The real question is, how. in the pivotal states of the southland west, j the cause of sound money can be best promoted with the least injury to the democratic party. We Wlieve there is no one connected with the Illiuois organization who would not be glad to escape the responsibility and work a new ticket would impose. The seutiment of the country toward a third ticket has not yet had time to find effective- expression. It. will in due tkue. and Illinois will cheerfully ao* •sept the conclusion.” «j LI HUNG CHANG. HU Coniine Visit to England »• the Queti of the foreign Office. Loxpox, July 19.—Li Hung Chang,; the Chinese viceroy who is to spend three or four weeks in England as tbt guest of the nation, is expected to arrive shortly.

A CRUSHING DEFEAT. BvanUh Troop* Entrapped Into U Amp bosh and Slaughtered Like Sheep In t Fen—Fourteen Officers Among the Three H undred Spaniards Killed and Wounded —Hen. Inclaa Captured and to lie Held as a Hostage. New York, July 20.—A Herald special from Key' West, Fla., says: The Spaniards, under Gen. Suarez Inclan, have sustained a crushing defeat at the hands of the insurgents under Ajhtonio Maceo, according to advices received by the Cuban revolutionary leaders in this city. Not only was Inclan’scolumn defeated with heavy loss, but the Cuban leaders are informed that it is currently reported in Havana that the Spanish general himseft was captured and is now held as a prisouer by Maceo. The battle is said to have occurred on July 15, near Maceo’s stronghold in the ! province of Pina? del llio. For the last two weeks the insur- | gents have been very aggressive, and i small parties have repeatedly attacked the trocha, causing the Spaniards much annoyance. Gen. Incian was ordered to drive back these detached bhnds of insurgents, and for this purpose took with him 2,000 men. « Maceo seems have expected such a move.and arranged to ambush the Spaniards. The Spaniards fallowed the insurgent skrimishers incautiously an d fell into the ambush. Then the Cubans opened fire from all sides, which threw the Spaniards into confusion. While the Spaniardst were thus disordered, the Cubans charged, completely routing their foes. Geu. Inclan made a desperate effort to rally his demoralized forces, but was surrounded by Cubans and compelled to surrender. It is stated in Havaua, according to the*revolutionists here, that the Spaniards were pursued almost to tlie trocha, and lost more than three hundred men killed and wounded. There were 14 officers among the killed. Cuba us here also say Maceo will hold luchiu $s a hostage to save the lives of prominent insurgent 'officers who have been captured by the Spaniards, and who are beiug held at Havana and other points momentarily, expectiug death.

MALVERN, ARK., | >’ei»rly Wiped Out by a l ire o( Incendiary Origin. <j Little- Rock, Ark., July 19.—The towa of Malvern, Ark , at the junction of the llot Springs railway, was almost entirely wiped out by tire at au early hour this morniug. Malvern was a little city of about rt,0<J0 inhabitants, the business portion of the place being clustered around the railroad station. All this section \va3 destroyed, only three business,l\ouses remaining. The total loss is variously estimated at from SluO.OOO to §400,000. only a small portion of which is covered by insurance. The burned buildings include the railroad depot, two hotels the bank and all the principal business houses of the place. "The tire is without doubt the result bf a plot to destroy the town. The blaze broke out about midnight in three different places, and as there was no apparatus, the fire burned itself put. Four men are uudeV arrest, charged with starting the fire, and the people of the town are in such a state of excitement that there is a strong probability that the incendiaries wii* be summarily dealt with. PREVENTED A LYNCHING , _ t Hy l ocking llts rrUonerai, I'p in the State lV<uilrnti»rj.^Litti.e Rock. Ark.. July 19.—Sheriff c itzhugh, of Malvern, and posse arrived here last night with the three men who burned the business portion of Malvern. Their names are Case Williams, colored; K. A. Miller and Eugene Ingram, white. Sheriff Fitzhugh says the trio would have been lynched last evening by the infuriated, citizens of Malvern if he hadlibt removed them to Little Rock. A dispatch received Here last evening stated that one of the gang had been lynched, but the sheriff says the report is not true. Williams says he came from St. Louis, while tfie others claim Little Rock as their home. Miller had made a confession implicating himself, Ingram and Williams. Theft was probably their object. j

CAR BARNS BURNED. A TUree Uuutlrrtl TtiuuMUd Dollar Fire with Ample Insurance. . - Chicago, July 19.—The ear barns of the Chicago City Street Railway Co. at Thirty-ninth street aud Cottage throve avenue were completely destroyed by fire last night. One hundred open cars, 180 closed ears and 50 grip cars were burned, besides 50 horses, a large amount of feed and other supplies. The loss will-reach $300,000; fully cot* ered by insurance. The fire broke out at 7:30 o'clock in the hay loft in the rear of Che barns. In a few minutes it spread over the entire building, which covers the greater* part of a block. * Engine No. - was demolished by a falling wall and Engineer Sullivan, in charge, was badly injured by the failing bricks. Transportation on the Cottage Cruve avenue line was completely blocked for several hours. The power and cable, however, were not interfered with, as none o* the machinery was located in the barn burned.

SOME PRESS OPINIONS. Varying Views of Democratic Journals on tho Free Silver Ticket. Its free silver plauk is a child stolen from the republican household. In other respects it challenges law, order, decency, honesty, good government.— Utica Observer, Bryan has been unanimously chosen champion of the silver hosts and will lead them on to victory. Around him the entire army of bimetallists will rally, for in him they all have confidence.—Columbia (£>, C.) Register. In nominating William J. Bryan, ol Nebraska, for the presidency the democratic national convention at Chicago has decided wisely and well. A better man for the position could not have been selected. His name will be # a tower of strength in.the west and south. —Roanoke (Va.) Times. * Altgeld, Tillman arid the other sages of the sixteen to’ one philosophy have solemnly resolved that the very fact that gold and silver have certain market values relatively to each other in other countries is a good reason in it: self why this is “anti-American,” and. therefore, be ignored and resisted for the sake of our “indomitable spirit and love of liberty.” This is not democracy, but midsummer madness.—Baltimore Sun. It will take more than the dictum of a convention, chosen and managed as this has been, to make free silver, leading to immediate silver monometallism, a principle of the democratic faith. The democratic party is greater than any man within it. and has5 survived more than one mistake. It will outlive this one j and triumph in spite of it, because il j ministers to the eternal needs of the re- i publiennd stands as the only representa- | live and bulwark of the rights of a free | people.—-St. Paul Globe. By declaring for a debasement of our : currency and the semirepudiatkm ot j public and private*debts the convention ] made this the only real issue of the c«m- J paign. Nothing else will be seriouslyj considered. It will dominate the canvass5. It will decide the election. It is , a blunder that would be inconceivable | if it had not actually been made. It pushes democracy out ar.d brings populism to the front. It will render support of the ticket impossible by hundreds of

thousands of democrats.—N. x. worm. In its mcnac'es of bankruptcy, repudiation and'anarchy the platform exceeds the worst that was conceived of the brazen and reckless demagogues who ' have temporarily usurped control of the democratic party.- No sound-money democrat can stand upon the platform. No patriotic citizen can consult his selfrespect and vote for a man willing to commit himself to. such a destructive and dishonorable purpose by accepting a nomination for the presidency-at the hands of the silver-populist fathering in Chicago.—Philadelphia Record. The Chicago platform should be openly and formally repudiated, and independent democratic candidates, representing honest money, the maintenance of the gold standard and of the public credit, should be nominated and sup ported by an electoral ticket. Thereby -not only the state democratic organization, but also the failure of the national organization will l|e protected. When the cause of silver monometallism shad have collapsed, the honest-money organization will become the nucleus of a rejuvenated national democracy.—Buffalo Courier. Heretofore democracy has declared ' universally against paternalism and centralization: heretofore democracy has stood for the people, the rights of the people to attend t) th-nr own affairs, has opposed making the treasury department under acts of congress the general and only bank of issue and the. supervisor and the dictator of the affairs of the people. But in this democratic platform tire now democracy has most certainly d<E'purted from the old paths and has taken to the worship of strange gods, those of paternalism and centralization.—Nashville American. Dominated by men who are strangers to the democracy and by ideas even more grotesque in their novelty, the Chicago convention has named a leadei who is not a democrat and adopted a platform which is not democratic. By its revolutionary and .sectional fury, by its shameful indorsement of the republican. and populistic heresies ol cheap silver and greenback ism. by its cowardly abandonment of tariff reform and by its amazing demand for jtho resoration of the barbarous spoils. iVstern, no less than by the nomination of a ■ man wholly unfit, the Chicago eon4vention5 absolves all democrats from allegiance to its candidates and its principles.—Chicago Chronicle.

Mr. Bryan is respected as an individual and is admired for his oratory, but that he is a^democrat or stands for democratic principles cannot be seriously contended by anybody. If the candidate is not democratic, much less so is the plat^rm. It is not alone be- ; cause it is for free silver; it is because j it is populistic as well. The situation is grave in the extreme, if not as critical as it was in 1360, and we counsel patience and wisdom on the part of thinking men in this emergency. Those whc : feel that the Tery life of the nation is ; at stake should act with kindly moderation until a united course of action i is decided upon, when all .the earnest- j ness and zeal of patriots to country j and party will be needed.—Milwaukee I Journal. The triumph of silverism and populisu j won by the politicians at Chicago is but the beginning of the battle. The campaign for national honesty, honor and safety has yet to be taken up by the people and waged to a finish In November. The people are both hones* and patriotic. They have only to be awakened to the new danger that menaces the country to arise in its defense as they did in *61.—N. Y. Herald., A bad platform has been adopted i$ the face of the profound protest of the democracy of New York and the eaa% and populism is riding rampantly In th# democratic saddle.—'Troy Pt«a
