Patriotism claimed the stock ex-
change for its own yesterday. Almost
Immediately after the opening there
was a demonstration which was as I'M
usual as it was significant. Hundreds
of solid business men joined in cheer
ing for the American flag as a reproof
to the revolutionary proceedings of the
Democratic national convention at Chi
cago, and scores of Mckinley buttons
were put on by Democrats, who thus
publicly renowned allegiance to their
party platform and nominee.
'IsadOr Wormser, a Hebrew and a
sterling Democratic business man, who
was one of the first of his party in New
York to bolt the free silver platform of
the Chicago convention, led the demon
stration He proposed that the ex-
change express itself publicly in favor
of honorable Americanisn. The idea
was seized upon eagerly by his asso-
ciates, who have watched with disgust
the actions of the Democracy at Chi
cago huge American flag was Sc
cured by r. H. Halsted, and its appear
ance was the signal for suspension of
all business. Every man present
crowded around the standard, cheering
wildly A procession was formed and
the colors were carried around the
room and to the rostrun, where they
were waved amid rousing cheers from
the brokers and shouts of THE Ameri-
can flag against the red flag foreverl'
when we want the American flag de-
Tended of course we shall look to the
Ickelheimers of Wall street.-Ed.1

MET BY BAYONETS.
Cleveland Strikers Are Kept Back By
Soldiers-SoIdiers Are Jeered.

Cleveland, O., July 16.-The scene
around the Brown hosting and con-
veying works today was decidedly a
martial one. Companies F, L, and of
the Fifth regiment were encamped near
the works and blue coated sentries
paced back and forth on beats extend
ed in every direction.
The strikers and their sympathizers
collected in crowds and jeered the sol
diers from a safe distance, but any at
tempt on the part OF the men to ap-
prOach near the works was promptly
met by pointed bayonets. Later mob
of cevera1 thousand congregated in
Hamilton street, a short distance from
the works, and numerically jeered the
soldiers. It was dispersed by the police
without anyone being injured. The at
titude of the strikers and their sym
pathizers is one of extreme bitterness,
and much anxiety is expressed over
the situation. There is no telling what
a minute may bring forth.

HYDROPHOBIA.
A New York Paper Has a Bad Case Of
T.

New York, July 16-The following is
from one of the editorials of the New
York Press, which divides the Repub-
lican field with the Tribune in this city:
Their debauch is ended. The howl
ing horde of fanatics, demagOgues and
anarchists at Chicago have looted the
Democratic party. rioted in the spoil,
raised their abhorrent platform, put
their ridiculous candidates on 1t and
gone home.
They have made the issue clear for
an astounded nation. It is order
against anarchy. government against
the mob. The great Republican princi-
pies of sound money and protection are
in no way dimmed or set aside
But growing out of those principles.
and made clear and distinct and vivid
before the ewes of the whole country by
the crazed assault of the Chicago rabble
on the nations integrity and on the
very foundations of all law and order,
there has come the supreme crystal
lized issue on which all patriotic citi-
zens can and must unite-Order against
anarchy.
Every patriot must strive ard work
and deal his hardest blows from this
time on increasingly until the night or
November 2, that every Vestige OF the
hordes of lawlessness may be swept
away and anarchy never again lift its
head in this land"
TVhy doesn't the Press send an army
into the west at once and put to the
sword all the Democrats that can be
found ED.

SILVER STRONG IN N. YORK.
Wage Farmers and Farmers are for it
Saws Keeney.

St Louis July 16.-G. Keeney, gener-
al organizer of the national silver party
with headquarters in New York city,
is here to attend his party convention
which convenes next week There has
been for months said Mr.. Keeney, "a
bitter fight in New York between the
representatives of plutocracy on one
side and the middle classes and daily
wage earners on the other and it is
going to be fiercer from now on till the
election. 1t has been among my duties
to labor among the last named classes,
and I think they will win.
I have made careful canvass OF
the whole state, but put in most of the
time in New York city and Brooklyn.
In northern and eastern New York the
agriculturists and viticulturiSts are for
free silver, irrespective of party, just
as surely as the same classes are in
the west and south.
Mckinley and Hobart cannot come
down to the Harlem river with $4,000
iOrity. They would need at least
100 900 to stand any kind of a chance of
carrying the state.
1T did not take me long in mixing
with the labor organizations to find
they were as much, as if not more bitterly
opposed to Wall street than the farmers
of Kansas. They are ready to rally to
any standard that would give them
glimpse of freedom and q promise of bet
ter times. From them 1 went to the
smaller mercantile class. I found them
of the same mind but afraid to say so,
because the moment they showed their
hand they knew their stores would be
closed by the autOcratS from whom
they obtained credit.
Il went to the organization known as
the Young Democracy which polled
1000 votes in the last election and
laid our course before them. Tammany
was trying to crush them. They saw
their opportunity and assured me they
would act independently of Wall street
domination
1T was under their auspices and that
of the silver organization comprised of
all elements that I got up the meeting
for Senator Tillman at Cooper Union
There is not a, state in the east in which
Bryan has not a good fighting chance.
and there must be no hesitancy on
waging the war there. He will be met

1t is generally understood that Gov
