JERUSALEM.

The altitude of Jerusalem is always
a surprise to the visitor who comes
here for the first time. He knows, Of
course, that it is a mountain city, and
( that it was built upon Mount Zion and
Mount Moriah; but he does not realize
until he makes the gradual ascent,
that it is about 200 feet above the
level of the Mediterranean. and near
| ly 1000 feet above the surface of the
/ Dead sea- As high on the one side as
the Catskill Mountain house: as high
on the other as the crater of Mount
| Vesuvius.
| Jerusalem is a city of surprises. It
| is apart from it's sacred associations,
an intensely interesting spot even to
travellers who are already saturated
with the hitherto unfamiliar and sur
+prising charms of Cairo, Athens and
| Constantinople. It's size can best be
expressed by the statement that the
journey around about the outside Of
it's walls may be made by an ordin-
arily rapid walker in the space of an
hour It's houses are small, ir-
regular in shape, squalid and
mean. It's streets if streets they
can be called, are not named or num-
bered; they are steep. crooked, mar
row, roughly paved, never cleaned, and
| in many instances they are Vaulted
over by the buildings on each side of
them. Never a pair of wheels traverse
them, and rarely is a horse or a dom
key seen within the walls. The halt,
the manned and the blind, the leprous
and the wretchedly poor. form the
great bulk of the population of Jeru-
salem, and with the single exception
of the Hebrews, they are persistent
and clamorous beggars. Trade and
commerce seem to be confined to the
bare necessities of life and to dealers
in beads and crucifixes. There is but

within its walls; and one Turkish mer-

delivered at Madison Square garden,
New York, before the notification COM
mittee appointed at the national Demo.
cratic convention at Chicago:
Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Com
mittle and Fellow Citizens: shall at
future day and in formal letter accept
the nomination which is now rendered by
the notification committee, and shall at
that time touch upon the issues presented
by the platform. 1t is fitting, however,
that at this time, in the presence of those
here assembled, speak at some length In
regard to the campaign upon which We
are now entering. We do not underesti-
mate the forces arrayed against us, nor
are we unmindful of the Importance of
the struggle in which we are engaged; but
relying for success upon the righteousness
of our cause, we shall defend with all pos
sible vigor the positions taken by our
party. We are not surprised thet some
of our opponents, In the absence of better
argument, resort to abusive epithets, but
they may rest assured that no language,
however violent, no invectives, however
vehement, will lead Us to depart a single
hairs breadth from the ursemarked out
by The national convention. The citizen,
either pubic or private, who assails the
character of the nominees chosen by that
convention questions the patriotism OF
the millions who have arrayed themselves
under the banner here raised.
1t has been charged by men standing high
in business and political circles that our
platform, is q menace to private security
and public safety; and it has been asserted
that those whom have the honor for tt 3
time being to represent, not only mediate

The Money Question.
Now let me ask you to consider the par
amount question of this campaign-the
money question. It is scarcely necessary
to defend the principle of bimetallism.
No national party during the entire history
of the United States has ever declared
against it, and no party in this campaign
has had the temerity to oppose it. Three
parties, the Democratic, Populist and Sill
yer parties, have not only declared for BIZ
metallism, but have outlined the specific
legislation necessary to restore silver to its
ancient position by the side of gold. The
Republican platform expressly declares
that bimetallism Is desirable when it
pledges the Republican party to aid in Sc.
curing it as soon as the assistance of Ger.
tain foreign nations can be obtained Those
who represented the minority sentiment in
the Chicago convention opposed the free
coinage of silver by the United States by
independent action on the ground that in
their Judgment it would retard or entire
ly prevent the establishment Of interna-
tional bimetallism to which the efforts OF
the government should be steadily d.
rected."
When they asserted that the efforts of
the government should be steadily directed
toward the establishment OF international
