Just commenced to 60 to market, and
the indications are that good prices
are going to be realized.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan reached
Jersey City last Tuesday, there was
in waiting big crowd of people that
wanted to see them. The crowd was
simply wild with enthusiasm and the
crush was fearful. The police lost
their heads, and the officer in COM
mand told his men that if the crowds
could not be gotten back any other
way, to use their clubs. Mr.. Bryan
heard the order and told the officers
not to do anything of the kind. The
crowd, he said, was orderly, good
humored, and meant no harm. The
newspapers say that Mr.. Bryan's get
ting out of the crowd looked almost
like miracle but he and his wife
both got out safely and both were in a
good humor. 1t was certainly most
remarkable occasion, and the incident
proved that the masses of New Jer-
sey and New York look upon Mr..
Bryan almost as a fit object of wor-
ship.
Believers in the single gold stan.
dard who bolted from the Democratic
party on account of the nomination of
Bryan and Sewall on silver plat
form, held convention in Indianapo-
lis, Indiana, last week. There were
present self-constituted delegates from
35 states. South Carolina was repre-
sented by T. G. Folly of Anderson,
a man who has not heretofore been
regarded as prominent in the politics
of the state. After canvassing the
situation as thoroughly as they could,
the delegates decided that they did
not want to vote for Mckinley, they
would not vote for Bryan, and the
only thing for them 10 do was to call
a national convention, to be held on
September 2, for the purpose of put
ting up an independent gold standard
ticket. The movement Of the gold
standard people is not regarded as
being at all formidable, and the Demo
Gratis are giving the matter but little
concern.
The hot spell that has been on for
the past two weeks is getting simply
terrific. The area covered extends
from Boston on the north, down the
Atlantic coast to the Florida line,
along the gulf through the centre of
Texas into New Mexico, and north
through North Dakota and thence
east to the Atlantic. Arkansas and
Missouri are right in the centre of the
especially heated area. Since last
Saturday, more than 1000 deaths
have been reported from the heat in
different parts of the country. Sew
enty-four deaths were reported in
New York on Tuesday, 10 were re-
ported in Philadelphia, 8 in Washing
ton, 80 in Chicago, Z in ST. Louis, and
others in other cities. Besides men
and women, horses have gone down
by the thousands, and so far. as the
weather bureau is able to say, there is
no promise as to when there will be
any letting up in the prevailing dis
treSS.
Candidate Bryan's trip from Lin
coin, Nebraska, to New York, was one
of the most remarkable trips that has
ever been made by any man in the
history of the country. From start
to finish, it was along series of ova-
tions. At every town the people
gathered at the railroad station by the
thousands and cheered the great apos-
tie of free silver until they were hoarse.
At number of places, including near
ly all of the big cities, Mr.. Bryan
made speeches. The people were lit
orally frantic to see him, and climbed
over each other in their efforts to do
so. When Mr.. Bryan got to New
York on Tuesday afternoon, he was al
most completely exhausted. His hands
were badly swollen from so much
shaking, and when he got up on We'd
nesday morning he was suffering from
an acute attack of laryngitis. 1t was
necessary to call physician, and the
physician forbade Mr.. Bryan from 60
ing out during the day, as otherwise
he would be unable to speak to the
big crowd in Madison Square garden
on Wednesday night.
Iii Hung Chang, the famous vice
roy OF China, is expected to arrive in
the United States during the latter
part of this month. 1t was his origi-
nal intention to come over about the
1st of September; but he has sudden
ly changed his mind in regard to the
matter. According to the first ar
rangements, President Cleveland and
his cabinet were to receive Ii in Wash
ington. The old mans new notion,
however, has upset these calculations.
There is now talk to the effect that it
will be the proper thing for the presi-
dent to. go out on warship to meet
tie St. Louis, on which the Chinaman
is coming. 1t has also been suggested
that it will be in good form to turn
out on the occasion the whole North
Atlantic squadron of the navy in order
to impress the visitor with the power
of the United States on the water.
This is the way the European poten-
tates have been doing it; but no
American president has ever done any
