BRYAN IN NEW YORK.
Chicago Record Gnd. REM

Chicago Record Ond Rep)
Judging by the superficial indications
Of large crowds and hearty applause,
Mr.. Bryan was wise in following his own
counsel and making a tour of The Empire
Safe. It is rather a remarkable jour
ney which the young Nebraska orator
has been making. It seems that he
can't make speeches enough to suit the
people, while his progress is interrupted
at every point for a period of hand
shaking and a short address.
The demonstrations mean, if they
mean anything, that there are many per-
sons in the East who regard the orator
and his views with favor. Mr.. Bryan
has not only escaped discourtesy, bur he
has been received with enthusiasm-a
fact which the people VINO insist that
silver is a purely sectional issue would
DO we'll to consider.
Mr.. Bryan seems to be making a
highly favorable impression in the
course of his hasty visits in the State
which-if there is any real sectionalism
in the present campalgn-shOuld ma
urally be most strongly opposed to
him.

No one with any. knowledge OF MI.
Mckinley will accuse him of personal
dishonesty. or will believe that he would
ouo,e false statistics knowingly While
no has been discovered more than once
in giving currency in his speeches TO
statistics that were false, no one has ac-
cnsed the Major OF being guilty OF any
thing worse than ignorance on the point
under discussion. and of having been
unused upon by Inscriptions persons
vino furnished him the figures used. II
will be remembered that in his last cam
naign in Ohio the Major was thus i'm
posed upon and led 10 publicly quote

Of the State ne should have had at his

also that he was compelled by his OPP
ponsn.. Hon. James E. Campbell, to
nubliolv re,rac5 his statements, which
Mr.. Mckinley did no. hesitate 10 do in
q frank and honorable manner.
In one Of his speeches to the farmers
Iasr week Mr.. Mckinley furnished an
instance of the same character. Mckinley
was speaking Of the effec, of free wool
in Increasing the imports OF wool. He
stated that the imports of wool in 1893,
the last full year Of the Mckinley tariff,
were 111c00C00 pounds. Now the Off
ciaI statistics. published in he S;atisti-
cal Abstract Of The United States for
1875. published by the Bureau OF Sta
,is,ics of The Treasury Department.
pages .292 ana pa. give the imports Of
wool for 1898 as 172, i99, S3S pounds, or
more than six,y-one million pounds
more than Mr.. McKiDley's figures show.
He quoted against his figures for 1893
the imports under the Wilson bill for
1855. which ne placed at 24SOO0CO0
pounds. The official figures place Them
q, POS. OBS .906 pounds, or nearly 42,O0O,-
600 pounds less than Mckinley stated.
Nr. Mckinley stated the value Of i'm
ported woolens for 1895 to be $16SO9O 600
The official figures say $19,f34372. In
1855 Mr.. Mckinley says the wooden i'm
ports were worth S57, 494, 600. The Off
ciaI figures show they were worth only
S3S.539 $50.
To sum up. in the case Of wool Mr..
Mckinley is away from the truth 70 ina
extent Of Over 1OS,00O,C0O pounds, and in
the value of imported wooden goods he
is "of" S2l.500,0C0.
Eyid=ntly Mr.. Mckinley has some
very unuuthful and untrus,worthy ad-
visors about him. He should look up his
own figures hereafter.

tell us, did the Democratic party not
favor the reconciliation OF silver This
has always been cardinal Democratic
principle.
It is not the Democratic, but the Re-
publican party that has slipped its
moorings and foated out upon an I'M
known sea in this campaign. The
Democracy stands where it has always
stood and always will stand-for the
money of the Constitution. 1t stands
where even the Republican party stood
until that organization was captured by
the glitter of gold held out by me fnan-
cial bandits of Wall ST. and their clients
in Europe.

ICY THAT WILL SUIT OUR OWN

These are patriotic words. They con-
stituJed Republican doctrine in 1894.
What is the matter with that sentiment
to-day? If we should not wait on the
pleasure Of debt-burdened Europe
in order to adopt our financial policy
in 1894 why should we IN 1896? What
has changed the view of the Republican
party in this matter? What has made
it suddenly subservient TO the will OF our
"pro-English citizens?" Why does it
condemn as anarchy in 1896 when Ut
tered by Mr.. Bryan, sentiments mat
were the best Republican docriI a n
1894? Has the patriotism of the 8 I'd
old party, like Bob Acres, oozed out of
its fingers ends in two short years, that
it now declares we must wait on Eu-
rope before we adopt a financial policy
TO suit This nation?

ROME, ITALY, March 3.-The Italian
campaign against the Abyssinians threat
ems to become one OF the most disastrous
in which the Italian army has ever taken
part, and what the final outcome will be
it would be hard to predict
It was rumored to-day that the latest
defeat of the Italians by the forces of
King Menelik had compelled the Ministry
10 resign, owing to the popular disap-
proval of the Governments policy. but to-
night this report is denied.
Details received here to-day OF the de-
feat on Sunday of the Italian army show
that the Italian losses were very heavy
they being placed by some at 1000 killed.
1t is still impossible to ascertain the pre-
else losses, but popular opinion credits
the report that the number of killed is
not overstated. Thus far the reports
make no mention of the number OF
wounded.
Among the dead are General Albertone,
commander of the left brigade, and Gen
eral Dabormida, commander OF the right
brigade.
The news of this latest disaster has
caused the greatest excitement through
out Italy, and the opposition party is
taking advantage of it to make violent at
tacks upon the Government policy in
attempting to extend the sphere of Italian
influence in Abyssinia

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 3.-The
opening gun of big home mission cam
paign vas fired tonight at Carnegie Music
Hall by the Board of Home Missions of
the Presbyterian church.
The announcement that President
Cleveland was'to preside at the meeting
was of itself sufficient to draw an immense
audience to the hall. The doors were
opened at 7:15 o'clock, but long before
that time the crowd began to gather.
Five minutes after the doors were opened
every seat in the immense hall was filled.
The audience was very enthusiastic
one and the remarks of the various
speakers were cheered to the echo. The
object of the rally was to stir up public in
terest in the work of home missions and
to raise funds for completing the pay
ments on the new building of the society
on Fifth avenue. The meeting to- night is
the first of series to be held all over the
United States.
1t was exactly 5 minutes after o'clock
when Mr.. Cleveland appeared on the plat
form. He was dressed in a black frock
coat and wore turned-down collar and
