Bryan tad Silver la 1900. New Toaa. August 30.—Since Governor Stooeof Missouri, bus declared that Bryan and tree silver will be the issue in 1000 the liveliest interest is being manifested in the position the $ew York democracy will assume. it is generally known that Richard Croker is a free silver democrat, hot it bad been supposed, and so stated, that be; preferred W. J. Stone of Missouri, to the 1896 champion. Governor Stone for the first time in years visited this city about two weeks ago. To the first reporter who saw him declared himself not only out ot the race, but the flrnmet sort of believer in the efficacy of a renomination for Bryan. This interview caused a sensation. It was! sent broadcast .over the country, and it caused widespread satisfaction among democrats. To ascertain if Governor Stone had been conpotly summarized the sentiment in the west and south sections of the country has been thoroughly canvassed. The returns from democratic leaders show that silver is the issue of today and cannot bur exert a marked influence throughout the country. Interviewsin response to that of Governor Stone’s have been received as fellows:

“Indianapolis, Aug. 90. “I firmly jtpdorse Governor Stone’s interview in every particular. Bryan will lie renominated by an irresistible popular impulse. The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 will be the vital issue of the campaign. The nomination of a gold standard democrat for governor will place the New York democracy in the position toward the national democratic organization which it occupied at the Chicago convention in 1896 —that is, entirely outside the pale of participation of the affairs of the party. “John Gilbert Shaneun, V Member Democratic National Committee.” Lynchburg, >’a., Aug. 30. “I concur with Governor Stone in every particular respecting the silver question, the Chicago platform and William j.Bryan. •*Petkr J. Ot*y, “Member Democratic National Committee.” “Atlanta, Go. Aug. 80. “No power on earth can defeat the Denomination of Bryan if be will accept it, aud that the curreuoy declaration of. the Chicago platform will be reaffirmed by the democratic national convention of 1900 is just about os certain as anything can veil he. Events have fully justified the democratic position on the currency question, and if there reason U> give utterance to the declaration mode of Chicago there is more reason now to call for the indorsement of the position then taken. ‘•Clark Howell, “Member Democratic Natioual Committee.” “Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 30. “William J. Stone in his interview expressed the sentiment of over three hundred aud fifty thousand Missouri democrats. Col. Bryan will be nominated by acclamation in J900. Silver will be the main issue iu this state, and schemes to displace %y*n by designing politicians are proving futile. “Lon V, Stevens, “Governor of Missouri.” “Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 80. “Governor Stone is correct. The national convention in 1900 will be stronger for Bryan And free coinage than the convention of 1896. Democrats everywhere rejoice in victories in New York won on local issues, but if the democracy of that state repudiates the Chicago platform 4 Trill have less standing in the 1900 convention thau it had in 1896. Josephcs Daniels, “Member Democratic Natioual Committee.” “Paris, Texas, Aug. 30. “Nothing but death can prevent the nomination of William J. Bryan for the presidency in 1900 by the democratic party, and 1 agree with Governor Stone that silver will be the main issue. There probably will be an issue on our territorial expansion also. The 6,900,000 pf unpurchaseable voters who supported Mr. Bryan in 1896 demand that the battle shall be fought to a finish upon the same issues and under the same leader in 1900. All democrats should keep in line. J4MR8 G. Dudley, “Member Democratic National Committee.” “Gallatin, Teun., Aug. 30.

“It Is possible, though not probable, that the issues of the war may suspend until after the prudential election the settlement of our financial system. But whether the paramount question in the next campaign be war issues or financial reform, beginning with the free coinage of silver, the nomination of Bryan and indorsement of the main features of the Chicago platform in 1900 are inevitable. 1 believe Governor Stone has correctly forecast the political oontest in 1900 and sincerely trust the New York democrats will take some such affirmative action as will place the party of that state in line with the policy which the next national convention will inevitably adopt, “J. M. Hbad, “Member Democratic National Committee.1* f ‘OwKXsnoao, Ky., Aug. 30. “I entirely agree with the sentiments expressed by ex-Goyernor Stone. “Uxkt Woooeojc, “Member Democratic National Committee.”

Carte Tom’s Cabin. For the hundredth time, and then some, the remittees effort of trying to explain why the people will never cease going to see Uncle Tom might be made here and as usual tail, it is a fact that more people ham sent this play In America than hare ever seen any other play. Of course, as a basis of why, it might be said that more { people hare read the bool upon which it is J founded than ever read any other book, the! bibte excepted; but this explanation does j not explain why hondredsof people in every \ community go to see the play as often as opportunity presents itself. Other plays hare as much pathos, as much tenderness, mine corned; and better tragedy. It may be that the key » found in this, that noqe deal so much wit h human liberty. Be that as it may, age bat adds to Uncle Tom’s immortality. The excellent Daris Company will appear at PMoabnrg, Wednesday, September 14th, in Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
