LON LIVINGSTON
Captivated His Audience at Anniston
 Good Work by Other Speakers

Captivated His Audience at Anniston,
 Good Work by Other Speakers.
 Anniston, July 23.-(Speciai)-De cratic speakers are shellng the woods in this part of the state, and are doing great good. Col. l.. F. Livingston con- gressman from the Atlanta, Ga., district spoke here last night at the Noble Street theater to an immense audience for near ly two hours, and delivered one of the best speeches yet heard in this cam paign To give an idea of how the speech was received it is only necessary to quote two of many expressions heard as the crowds were dspersing. One man said: Next to Bryan's speech it was the best speech we have ever heard in Anniston." Another said: Tt was the clearest argument in favor of the free coinage of silver that have ever heard" The speech of Colonel Livingston was not only intensely interesting but was speech calculated to make yotes He stated that he had no word of abuse for the populists in Alabama. That he had sympathized with the men who had left the democratic party and set up housekeeping for themselves. He real ized that they had had some ground for complaint against the democratic party for policies adopted by its leaders, but that the things of which they had com plained had been corrected by the state III AldDdfnd anu III tne tion of Capt. Joseph F. Johnston for gov ernor, and in the adoption of the national platform and the nomination of Bryan for presi- dent. He said that the lines were clear ly drawn in the platforms of the two old parties. The democratic platform stood for more money and less taxes, and the republican platform for less money and more taxes. He claimed that only one thing could be found in this country which had not greatly decreased in value since the adoption of the single gold standard, and that was the milch COW. Colonel Livingston's speech was loudly applauded throughout.
 At it's close Hon. Gaston A. Robbins, who has been all over the state during the campaign, was called for and he brought cheering news of the overwhelm- ing majority promised the democratic ticket Monday week. Mayor flight acted as master of ceremonies and introduced both speakers.

 Johnston in his opening address con- fined himself to state and national is sues. He made a very strong speech, which was well received by the audience.
 MT. Goodwin consumed his,time with a discussion of election frauds and a per sonal attack upon Captain Johnston.
 In his rejoinder Johnston completely demolished the fusionists and the audi ence time after time sent up deafening shouts of applause.
 Short speeches were made by Turner and John l.. Burke, candidates for sena- tor from this district. There were 800 voters present, who throughout the en- tire period of five and a half hours gave the speakers their undivided attention.

MIR. WHITNEY ON THE SITUATION. Why He Thinks Third Ticket is Inev.
 itable.

New York, July 23.-Mr. William c. Whitney in an interview with reporter of the Southern Associated Press today was asked if, in his judgement there would be a third ticket nominated by the "sound money" democrats. He replied: "I think events and the course of the republicans are making it inevitable. The general situation," he continued, lis far worse today in my opinion, than it was ten days ago. The republican man. agers and candidates have shown no realizing sense of the situation. They have failed to avail themselves of a great opportunity for benefitting the country. If the political condition of affairs continues for any length of time sound money democrats are bound to organize, and it cannot be prevented. The truth Is there does not seem to be in the east realizing sense of the serious ness and extent of the free silver move- ment. It is the result of reading and agi- tation. I think it may be accepted as fact that the vast majority of free silver believers at this time are not open to conviction.
 Chicago that nothing could be accom- plished in the direction of changing or modifying the free silver idea, and said so. Nevertheless it was our duty to go there and emphasize the strength of the convictions of the eastern democrats, and. further, to afford the country an ob- ject lesson showing so plainly that it could not be misunderstood, the un-

Morality of Colleges.

It is diffioUlt and, weil nigh Impossible for thosewho do not know student life in. timately to gauge rightly the moral stand. ing of any college. A few dissipated young men can give whole class and even q whole college an unenviable name with the undiseerhing public. But those who have studied undergraduate life closely know that these few students are only chips on the surface, and that their influ- enoe on the deep, strong undercurrent of college life is scarcelr felt. Doubtless the custom of putting little restraint on the social life of students in most American colleges has resulted in some temporary harm. But the self reliant manhood that 1t has developed in American young men has more than counterbalanced the harm. -Philadelphi. Press.

The Flames Licked Up the Five Story Build.
 ing VaRsala Thraatanad

Savannah, Ga., July 23.--The Planters rice mill and granary was burned to- night, and is a total loss. The fire broke out in the brush room of the mill at Il o'clock. It was beyond control before the fire department got we'll to work, and burned with such rapidity that every effort of the firemen was directed to saving adjoining property The mill is fiye-story building and the flames shot up to a great height, tapping over River street, upon which the building stood, and communicating to the gran ary and Duckworth's warehouse, occu- pied by c. M. Gilbert & Co, wholesale grocers.
 The schooner Douglass Gregory, which arrived from Baltimore today with a cargo of coal, and the Norwegian bark Nordstiernan were lying at a wharf ad- joining the granary and in line of the flames, and were with difficulty got out of reach of the fire. There was a slight breeze when the fire started but stiff wind has sprung up. and at 1 o'clock the fire threatens the adjoining warehouses and Thomas coal and wood yards and the upper rice mill property.
 No estimate of insurance Is obtainable, but the total loss Is already considerably over S100 O0O

TO RHPLENIsH THE RESERVE. Movement on Foot to Raise $2,ooO,ooo in
 Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, July 23.-President Phil Ter of the Philadelphia clearing house today issued a call for special meeting of that association for tomorrow morn- ing to discuss the advisabillty of plan to raise a substantial fund of gold coin to aid in restoring the governments gold reserve. The notice was sent out to all the banks and upon hearing of this ac- ton, those who yesterday upon their own accord visited the various financial institutions for the purpose of securing their cooperation in an independent movement, temporarily abandoned their task, but stated that should the clearing house fail to act the work will be renew ed at once with increased vigor.
 Success has attended the efforts of those who inaugurated the movement. Nearly every banker that was approach ed today responded with pledge for a liberal amount over $750,000 being prac- tically secured before the announcement was made of the coming meeting. So graUlfied were those who assumed the leadership of the affair that instead of working for a $l,000,000 fund, as originally intended, it was decided this afternoon to make an effort to double that sum.

democratic and revolutionary spirit which dominated the movement. In this we were successful.
 "The democratic mask was prettly ef- feetually removed from the face of pop ulism, which had forced itself for the time being into position of control"
 What should have been the next step In the fight for the preservation of na- tional honor and sound finaravt9"
 We had suddenly come upN a new and a ve"y great crisis, one rlNt called for the sinking of partisa p and the union cf sound money men res2ue the country from disaster. ELnort Is of thousands of democrats stood ret 1y to declare themselves upon that isste and were ready to subordinate eve-' thing, even fo voting for the rerublcaT candi- dates, There should have heeI an im- media.e recognition Cf 9 rev situation and tla republicans shoulC hSEe been the first n Ha1sa-,a serot rNoyey demo- crats to d ,a~ -fo rtiear rnic~l, suborG.- hating all other things te eAis question of national honor."
 What has been the course of the re- publican leaders and the republican press?"
 "They have insisted upon putting the free silver enthusiasts and the sound money democrats into one class and de- nouncing all together under the name of national democracy. They jeer at de- mocracy, and yet admit that the doubt full states are those where republ1canism has been dominating for thirty years. If they continue in this line the sound money democrats will nominate a third ticket to save the vote from drifting back to the Chicago ticket"
 tThe republicans will need all the aid they can obtain from sound money dem- ocrats. If they think they can hold their natural strength through the middle, west or even in some parts of the east by the single tendency of party allegiance they are mistaken.
 Tt is evident that the free silver vote is to be united. It should be opposed by @ solid and united sound money vote. It never can be if in addition to Mckinley democrats must vote for McKinleyism and all that it represents. The issues of the past should be buried until the country has been rescued by patriotic action from its present peril.
 Tt ought to be plain to all thought full and patriotic republicans that the time has come when 1t is absolutely nec- essary for all good citizens to drop for the time being partisanship and work together earnestly and intelligently for the common good To trffle with crisis so serious as this, or to attempt to ignore or belittle 1t, would be both a blunder and crime. But one fact is certain, the present responsibility for meeting this situation rests upon the republican candidates and leaders, and if they are to act intelligently and practically there is no time to lose"

FILLEY TURNED DOWN. His Man Was Not Nominated for Govern or of Missouri

! Springfield, Mo-, July 23.-After struggle lasting all day and until late this afternoon in the republican state convention Robert E. Lewis of Henry county was nominated for governor. This is generally considered a serious defeat for the faction headed by Chauncey I. Fllley-ef St. Louis, who has so long been a leader in this state. After MT. Lewis he'd been nominated the convention ad- Journed until tomorrow. The platform adopted today in substance approved each and every plank in the St. Louis platform, indorsed the nomination of Mckinley and Hobart; deplored the com munistic tendencies of the democratic party and it's reflections on the highest judicial authority and censure of the fed eral government. Tt should be disowned by all friends of law and order" says the platform. Tampering with the bal lot and the gerrymandering of congress sional and senatorial districts were de- nounced as vicious and unjust.

THE BICYCLE FETE
And Parade Was a Great Success-Lar1e Number of Wheelmen-Wo-
 men in Line.

The bicycle parade and fete yesterday afternoon and last night was a grand success. At o'clock the parade was formed at the head of Twentieth street at Capitol park, and the ride was down Twentieth street to Fifth avenue and out Fifth avenue to Avondale park There were about 100 wheelmen and ladies in line and the lineup was very good.
 At the park besides those who par ticipated in the parade there were about 200 people, and altogether the crowd was a very large one.
 The fete at the park was grand suc- cess financially and otherwise and to Mesdames R. H. Pearson and J. Morgan Smith is due the credit for the parade and fete.
 Another in the near future, owing to the success of this one, would no doubt prove far greater success.
