HURRAHING FOR BRYAN.
Farewell Demonstration Yestcrday-The
 Candidates Ride in Mule Stage.

Salem, Ill, July 15-Salem paid her farewell to William J. Bryan to-day in a demonstration that exceeded by far the pyrotechnic reception given him on his arrival here Monday night. The preparations were begun yesterday morning. In front of the old court house, where Bryan made his maiden speech, and where his father presided as circuit judge for many years, plat form with a foundation of empty oil barrels had been erected and this was covered with red, white and blue bunt- ing and other embellishments In re- sponse to a proclamation of Mayor La- kin, nearly every house f1oated the na- tional standard or some other adorn- ment, and pictures of Mir. Bryan, most of them clipped from daily papers, were prominent in the windows of shops and private houses. Business was suspend ed, and the whole town, prepared itself for making the day the greatest little Salem had ever experienced Excur- sions were run by the Baltimore and Ohio, Southewestern and the Chicago, Paducah and Memphis roads, and men  and women from nearly all the neigh boring villages and the surrounding country took advantage of the oppor- tunity afforded by. the cheap rates to hear and see Bryan. A, promise that Governor Altgeld also would make an address was another attraction. Four bands had been engaged for the occa- sion, and the three which helped the Salem orchestra to make music headed delegations from nearby towns.
 Bryan starts on his trip to Lincoln on Thursday via St. Louis and Kansas City. It was reported that he would fire off several speeches on the way, but he says he will make no political speeches until officially notified of his nomination. He said he had declined an invitation from the St. Louis Mer- chants exchange to make a speech in St. Louis.

Democrats VIII Wait-Spund Money
 Leaders Held Conference.-The Formal
 Action Yet.
 New York, July 15.-After an inform al discussion of the political situation Senator Hill MT. William c. Whitney and other leaders of the sound money democrats of this state have apparent ly decided to issue no statement and to take no formal action in reference to the Chicago platform and ticket for the present.
 They will await the developments ex- pected during the next few days and will probably hear what Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the new national committee, has to say when he comes to the city.
 Senator Hill and other party leaders met last night at the home of MT. Whitney and talked over the situation for several hours. The senator return ed to the Murray Hill hotel for the night. Early this morning he paid his bill and went away. It was said that he had gone to Normandie- by-the- Sea for few days rest. He refused to talk last night.
 This morning MT. Whitney said that he was not yet ready to make any statement, and would not discuss the | conference held at his home. Senator Arthur P. German of Maryland this morning denied that he was present at | the conference as had been reported. He said he was not here to attend political conferences of any kind, had not attended any, and did not expect | to. Senator German has said he will support the Chicago ticket.
 | What the leaders of the sound mon ey democrats of this state will do has not been decided, and until the situa- tion has been fully discussed they will issue no statement. A majority of them are said to be opposed to the nomina- tion of sound money ticket.

 T will not support the platform nor the candidate, because I am a demo- crat and not dynamiter. The plat form is a league with larceny and a covenant with murder, The candidate is raw man, who has achieved noth- ing in public or private life to fit him for the presidency--a man who has won his reputation delivering orations at county fairs and populist picnics.

STRIKERS, Rror AT cLEVEnAvD.

Militia Called Out Yesterday to Proven Further Troubie-The Strikers Heard That Non-Union Men Were Recruitin 2 and Made an Organized Attack-MaDy Men Were Hurt.
 Cleveland, July 15.-The strikers at the Brown Hoisting Works learned last night that the company was recruiting their non-union forces in Canada and Cincinnati Quietly and secretly they planned decisive action. They organ ized committees of ten and twenty, and to each committee was given section of territory to patrol and look for non- union men.
 These committees were on duty early this morning, and as the non-union men traversed the streets In the neigh borhood of the works they were hunted down through the pouring rain by the strikers.
 Pale with fright the non-union men ran for their lives, over back fences, taking refuge in sheds, and in many instances invading the homes of citi- zens. They climbed on street cars and several men were injured by being thrown from the cars to the pave ment.
 Throughout the territory mapped out by the rioters ran hither and thither groups of men armed with clubs and other weapons, hunting for victims.
 When a non-union man was spied, with shout of derision he was pounc- ed upon, felled with a club and beaten.
 The rioters paraded the streets for a range of twenty blocks in the vicinity of the works. The police were utterly unable to cope with the strikers in this guerilla fighting.
 The number of injured is unknown.
 Mayor McKisson has ordered a com pany of militia to the scene of riot ing.

FAT MANS LONG FLOAT.
Picked Up After Cruising for Two

Picked Up After Cruising for Two
 Hours.
 The steamer City of Lawrence made a remarkable find while taking an excursion from Norwich to Coney Is- land the other night, according to the Norwich Bulletin. It was nothing less than a man who weighed 34S pounds. He gave his name as Gris- wold and said he had taken the steam CT Connecticut for Brooklyn where he is a manufacturer. On the way he fell asleep while leaning against the deck railing and awoke to find himself in the water some distance behind the steamer. That was about four miles from Stratford shoal.
 Of course so fat a man would have found difficulty in sinking even if he had wanted to. To make things doubly sure, however, MT. Griswold took off all his clothes, sacrificing a gold watch and some s20 in cash Once he tried to chase schooner but had to give it up. He was thoroughly chilled and had begun to despair when the City of Lawrence came in sight and he made the people hear his cries. He had been in the water two hours but was little the worse for it. MT. Griswold should be particularly thank full that he was not taken for the head of the sea serpent and shot.
