Austin took hand on Georges side,

CAN THRASH TAMMANY.
DR.. ParIxhurst Says They Can BE Iseate1
Out Of sight ON Election Day.

Out of sight on Election Day.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Dr. Charles II.
Parkhurst tired another broadside at
Tammany hall last night at the Second
Reformed Presbyterian church Among
some Of the things he said, were: II
think we can thrash Iammany out of
sight on election day. There is only one
obstacle, the failure of anti Tammany
organizations to agree.
1.-The city of New 4Ork is at present
the most phenomenal in the world. The
recent outbreak of crime is unparalleled.
The spirit of anarchy is abroad. There
is such disregard for all police regula-
ti0ns by the force as should make US
blush, if we do not tremble.
superintendent Byrnes has always
told US that whatever else might be
wrong, our streets at least are safe for
citizens to walk through. Is it necessary
to speak Of recent events to disprove
this? If Superintendent Byrnes WAS to
step squarely to the front and say: L am
going 10 take up the obligations that de-
volve upon me, and if l am interfered
with l will make it known to the COM
munity,' / believe the response Will not
be wanting. If Superintendent Byrnes
does not soon take this position his OPP
pOrtunity will be lost"

ALLISON ON FREE COINAGE.
The Iowa Senator Thinks 1t Would Bring
a Calamity.

The Iowa Senator Thinks 1t Would Bring
a Calamity
ATLANTIC, Ia, Sept. Ex-senator Ali
son was greeted by an audience of 1000
people at the opera house last evening.
The senator held the attention OF his
audience closely throughout, and was
frequently applauded. On the money
question Senator Allison said:
ave have now more money in the
country per capita than at any prior time
IN our history. 1t Is claimed free coin
age IS needed IN the United States. This
is believed by some Republicans. many
Democrats and all Populists, but the
Populists believe this as an incident. not
as reality. I would be glad to have
free coinage OF silver, were It not for
the fact that l think I know
that great calamities and great dis
tress would follow. The first effect of
free coinage would be to carry gold to a
premium and to take the $60O, 100000 of
gold out of the United States.
@The value of 100000, 900 of silver
now in circulation would be diminished
to about $240, 100000. Mexico has free
coinage of silver and gold and has d pro-
ductiOn of $50 100000 to $4,000, 900 sill
Yer a year, but altogether has 4 silver
circulation of about $5O,OOU,OO0 The
bulk of Mexico's silver is market
ed in bullion at the markets
of the world. The present Repub-
lican policy is that we shall not change
our standard. but use all the silver we
can, maintaining the standard. By not
changing our standard we are enabled to
hold our gold and the vast amount of
$6OO,OOO000 of silver at par with gold.
In the financial panic of 1893 there was
never q time when the silver dol
lar of the United States was
not at par Therefore, our Populist
friends, rather than endure the ills they
now bear, want free coinage, while we

to Canton, Ohio. The second day to
Louisville, Ohio. Thus far they
have all been accommodated in a cir
