Gold Men Meet Bryan in Hordes All Along
 His Route.

Wellesville, O., Oct. 20.-At Welles- vile, where 2500 people were waiting, MT. Bryan's made his first stop in Major McKinley's old district The most pro- nounced counter demonstration of the candidates campaign was witnessed here. A large number of the specta- tors wore yellow badges.
 Youngstown, Oct. 20,-The assem- blaze which greeted MT. Bryan at East Liverpool was double that at Welles- vile. Another Mckinley demonstra- tion was attempted there The yellow was everywhere. Women wore it in bows, while men and boys had golden collars and neckties. Judging by the cheering, however, the Bryanites ap- peared to be In the majority, but the advocates of the gold standard shouted long enough and frequently enough to call from MT. Bryan remarks similar to those he had made at Wellesville.
 Nearly everybody on the station platform at Smiths Ferry seemed to be decorated with the republican colors, but the train did not stop. It contin- ued across the Ohio line to Rochester Pa., where it arrived as the noon whis- ties were blowing. MT. Bryan's speech, delivered from the balcony of the Don- caster house was cordially applauded Although there were only about COG gathered at New Brighton, the hearth est reception of the day up to that time was given the nominee and he respond ed with a short speech. A number of demonstrative schoolboys among the people at Kenwood, Pa., told MT. Bryan he was all right and Mckinley was ''on the hog" He made no remarks there. MT Bryan arrived at Youngs- town at 20 p. m

An alarm of fire was rung in last Fri
day afternoon, from box 80 for a blaze
in a shed on East street, the property of
| Joseph Trucotte. The fire caught in
the upper story of the shed, which was
filled with corn husks, and is said to
have originated by children playing
with matches. The fire department was
soon on the scene and two streams
of water were thrown on the burning
building. The fire had gained consider
able Roadway owing to the combustible
material the building contained, but
after three-quarters of an hours hard
work it was subdued without damage to
the house. The property was insured.

harnessed the horse and hid the carriage
behind some bushes. After the leaves
began to drop off the carriage was seen
from the road and, as notice of the theft
had been received, it was believed that
this was the stolen property. Mr. Nut
ting sent one of his men after the team
Thursday afternoon and he returned
next day. 1t is said the horse did not
appear to have been abused and nothing

Inconsistent Popultsts.

On his return to Washington from his
conference in Atlanta with Mr.. Watson
and Mr.. Wright, Senator Butler, the
chairman of the national popuhst COM
mittee, was interviewed by Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald.
Among other things he is quoted as hav-
ing said: "Mr. Watson does not share the
vice presidential nomination with Mr..
Sewall AS far as he is concerned Mr..
Watson has no more connection with Mr..
SewalPs candidacy than he has with Mr..
Hobart's. The ticket of Mr.. Watson's
party is Bryan and Watson. Mr.. sewall
is not on that ticket, and his name is not
recognized by 1t. We are just as much
opposed 10 Mr. Sewall as we are 70 Mr..
Hobart, because one is just as objection
able to our political creed as the other"
From the foregoing it will be seen that
Mr. Butler takes the ground that popu-
lists support only those who are in thor
ough sympathy with populist doctrines.
and who are believed to be earnest sup
porters of those doctrines. That being
the case on what ground does Mr.. Better
approve the nomination of Mr.. Wright
for governor Of this state by
the populsts? Mr.. Wright was not recog-
nized as a populist before he was nomi-
mated, and he has not been saying much
in behalf OF popuhst doctrines. He was
not nominated because he was popu-
list, but because he was a prohibitlonist.
The populists have never declared for
prohibition.
While it is true that Mr. Wright is not
the president Of national bank, it is
alleged that he is a large stakeholder In
a bank of that kind. 1t is assumed there
fore that he is in favor of national banks.
In the matter of national banks there
fore in what important respect does Mr..
Wright differ from Mr.. Sewall?
We don't know how Mr.. Wright stands
on the question of governmental owner
ship of the railroads and telegraph lines,
but we assume that he is against such
ownership. If he is, he cannot be re-
garded as a thorough populist. How then
can Mr. Butler consistently take such
strong grounds against Mr.. SewaH, and
yet find Mr.. Wright entirely satisfactory?
After all isn't Mr.. Butler much more con-
cerned about getting his party into power
in the different states and at Washington
than he is in regard to the political opin-
ions of the candidates nominated? 1t
certainly looks So and if tt is so his
objections to Mr.. Sewan have very little
force.

Hank Thomp.on,s pi.eovery.

One day, in the old days at Cheyenne,
says the Chicago News. when it was still
the terminus of the great Pacific road
there arrived, all by himself, young
man, about 20 years old, who had such a
lisp and looked so girlish that the rough
crowd looked him over in establishment
1t was Hank Thompson who finally walk

pulled out little pepper of pop and sent
six buckshot bullets into Hank Thomp-
sons anatomy. The big fellow staggered
about and fell down, and everybody
thought he was done for until a doctor
looked him over and said no vital spot had
been touched. Hank lay with his eyes
closed for a long, long time, but he finally
opened them and family asked:

The people of this state are having the
liquor question forced upon their atten-
ton by the populists, who are not prohi-
bitionists, but who nominated a prohibit
! zionist for governor with the hope of get
ting the assistance of the prohibitionists
to put their partyai IN control Of the state.
Some Of those who are supporting the
populist ticket Want a general prohibition
law, and others, regard with favor the
dispensary system.
If we have a general prohibition law
"blind tigers" will take the place of the
licensed saloon in all the counties in which
public sentiment is against a prohibition
law. That would be a far worse condition
of affairs than exists at present because
the liquor business is now under control
of city and county authorities. The re-
straint put upon it robs It of many of its
worst features. 1t is a legitimate bust
ness, and, in the main, is conducted in a
legitimate manner. Most of those en-
gagged in 1t are good citizens and respect
the laws made for its control. Under a
general prohibition law the blind tigers"
would be conducted upon a wholly differ
emit basis. Liquor would be sold surrepti-
tiously and by those who would not feel
themselves bound by an obligation of
any kind. We should have far more
drunkenness than we now have, and,
mainly because of the kind of liquor that
would be sold, more harm would be done
than at present.
Suppose we should adopt the dispensary
system? We have in South Carolina evil
dence of the condition of affairs that we
should have in this state. The dispensary
there is not only a political machine, but
there seems to be a good reason for say
ing that its influence is corrupting. The
disclosures in regard to It that were made
in our dispatches yesterday are scandal
Gus. Surely we do not want the dispensary
in this state Even prohibitionists. we are
sure, would be glad to be rid of it before
it had been established year.
We have now the best temperance sys-
tenn that it is possible to have-the local
option system. Out of the 1877 counties,
1O5 have prohibition and there is no rea-
son to doubt that all the other counties,
with the exception, perhaps. of half
dozen or so, in which there are large
towns, will within a very few years adopt
prohibition. While we are doing so well.
would it not be advisable to let the liquor
situation remain as 1t Is?

1t ATects Them All.

A West Side boy astonished his doting
parents a few nights ago by coming to
the supper table with black eye and
cut lip, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
''Why George" cried his mother,
whats the matter?"
George smiled as bravely as his lip
would permit, and lodged the question by
remarlxing:
"Oh, gimme some supper"
''See here" said his father, in his sub
cellar voice, and George weakened.
"Well,' he said, II had a argument on
the money question with Dick Simpson,
that's ALL"
''On the money question? What do you
mean by that2"
''Well, we was talkin' about it, and
''Well. we was just talkin' about it, and
Dick said: How is your father goin' to
vote? an 1 said: 'TTows yoursT an he
said his father believed in putting 100
cents in gold dollar, and I said: You
can't do it, cause the cents is bigger than
the dollar and he said my father was a
buy metaller, and he said: Tell your
father to come round and I'll sell him
some scrap iron,' and 1 said if he had any
scrap left over I'd accommodate him my
self, and then l ran my eye against his
fist and he stopped my knuckles with his
nose, and we clinched and rolled around
on the grass till Hopkins hired man come
over and separated us. An that's ALL"
Then Master George stopped to take
breath and big bite of toast.
"Why, Georgia" said his grieved
mamma, what would your Sunday school
teacher say?'
George agely bit another chunk out
of the slice of toast.
81 don't care what she says" he growl-
ed. She can't vote, and she amt nothin
but prohibitionist anyway
But all his father said was:
80 you didn't really settle anything,
after all?
Well said George. with a comical, lop=
sided grin. IL guess settled Dick pretty
well. Gimme some tea"

would. He comes TO her every morning
