CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.-Carl Schurz
spoke in the Peoples Thester on the issue
of the campaign. He spoke in German.
schurz said in an interview: l expect to
make a very thorough tour Of Ohio, max
ing speeches in every section of the State.
l find that it is growing more spirited,
and the attendance at the public meetings
is very large. This shows that the people
are aroused and are thinking, and 1 have
great hopes in such cases that their better
judgment will prevail. No. / am not
making the temperance question a promi-
nent feature of my speeches to Germans,
but merely presenting the attitude of the
two candidates on that question. l think
the Germans will be largely influenced in
their votes by the question Of the official
integrity of the candidates. The Ger
man people have very fixed views in favor
of honesty, and cannot be deceived by ex-
plantations or excuses. Ii the election was
held to-day Wisconsion, Illinois and Mich
igan would vote for Cleveland. Seventy
per cent Oh the 4IiIuOl5 WOulu
vote for him, l think, for the defeat of
Blaine for public necessity, for
l think every man who desires
an honest national administration should
vote for Newman for Secretary of State, as
the Ohio vote in October will be taken as
a declaration Of the sentiment of the State
on national issues by other elections of the
country. If Newman should be elected in
October it would practically settle the con
test, as | think Wisconsin, Illinois and
Michigan would then cast their electoral
votes against Blaine. Schurz was asked if
he had seen the statement that he is secur-
ing $3.50 a speech from the Democratic
managers. Yes, was his reply. l have
noticed that such a story is being circu-
lated. The facts are, that / am not ~receiv-
ing one cent from any source for my
speeches in this contest, and that / am pay
ing all my own travelling expenses.
Massachusetts, Peoples Party.
WORCESTER, Mass. Sept. 24.-The con-
vention of the Peoples party was called to
order by Col. A. G. Drinkwater, who well
coined the delegation to the first conven-
ton of the Peoples party, and the true
Democratic party of the country. He
welcomed all, no matter what their former
political affiliations might have been, and
then alluded to the wonderful campaign
made by Butler last year, Notwithstanding
all the opposition concentrated upon him
by self-constituted leaders of the Demo-
cratic party. the press and the pulpit.
These self-constituted leaders, said Drink
water, asked us to follow them this year,
when they admit they were wrong last
war II 10 mara nreaum milton tn cau IN
the representatives of the Peoples party
that they are wrong in advocating the
election of Butler. We have the men to
lay the foundations Of a party that have
come to stay, and one which will yet be
successful.
An Extensive Failure.
LONDON, Ont, Sept. 24.-The failure
Of Thomas Fawcett, private banker, had
a depressing effect in Western Ontario. A
great portion of the banking business of that
section has been in the hands of private
banks, and Fawcett's was one of the
largest there. Besides the Office In Lon
don, he was interested in the branch estab-
lishments in Walfork, Wyoming, Arizona,
Alverstone, Millbrook, Thornburg, Ores
den, Mitchell, ~Thamesville, and other
pIdCcss IahCebb Shlu tu6 lldDlllt6S, at q
rough guess, cannot be far short of $780,
900 or 5000, 900. This estimate includes
the liabilities of the agencies in which he
is interested. He felt satisfied that the
assets are far in advance Of the amounts
named. The failure, he thought, was
due to the dullness of the cattle trade, in
which the different agencies were very
largely interested.

TOPEKA, Sept. PA conference was
held with st. John by the members Of the
Prohibition State Central Committee,
when they discussed the question of NOM
mating another candidate in the place of
A. T.. Jetmore, who was nominated but de.
clined. IL was agreed that the party shall
put up another candidate, but whom was
not decided. There are three or four
aspirants for the honor. Mr.. st. John
leaves here tonight for the East, and will
make speeches in Ohio, New York, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and Illinois until the
Oath of October. He will then return to
Kansas, and from that time until the day
of election will proceed to stir up the
election here. The Governor says he will
receive more votes in Western New York
and portions OF Ohio than either Blaine or
Cleveland, and feels confident that his
vote throughout the country will reach
one million.
