Secretary Oluey is said 10 have
plainly informed the Spanish govern
ment that the sentiment of the Amer
lean people is strongly in favor Of
al intervention in Cuban affairs, and
that the only thing that stands be
tween the active expression of that
sentiment ard Span's interests is the

no summary action in the case Of the

Some of the Facts AZ TO Bryan,s

WASHINGTON, Aug IS, 1896 Mr.. j.

Committee OF the Populist National Com
mittee resident of Lincoln the home
of Mr.. Bryan, speaking of the charge
that the Democratic candidate had been
paid by silver mine owners to advocate.
the cause of free coinage Of silver, said
that there was some talk of this kind
before Senator Thurston made the state
ment from the newspapers, but that it
was all due to the fact that Mr. Bryan
had accepted invitations from various
parts of the west to make speeches.
Mr.. Edgerton was asked If Mr. Bryan
was paid for this work. to which he re-
piled that he was, but only from the
clubs of cities that had invited him to
speak. In reference to the amount of
this pay, Mr.. Edgerton said 1t did not
amount to more than $50 or 500 for each
place. This fact. he believes, to be the
origin of the story.
Mr.. Edgerton said:-iI am absolutely
sure that he received nothing from any
other source, except his legal practice
and his newspaper work.

GREAT READING CAMPAIGN.
Millions of Campaign Tracts Being
Mailed to Voters.

WASHINGTON Aug. Is, 1S96.-Since the
opening of the campaign the Republican
Congressional Committee has sent out
little more than thirteen millions of
documents. On Saturday alone 337 coo
copies of various speeches were started on
their way. So great has been the demands
for literature that the committee has
been compelled to again change it's quar-
ters. The speech for which there is the
greatest demand is thai OF MIR. Cleary,
of Minnesota, in reply to Representative
Towne. one of the bolting Republicans at
the st. Louis Convention. A very large
edition of Secretary Carlisles speech to
workingmen has been exhausted and an
tract that has been printed by the hun
dred Thousand is written in a conyersa-
tional vein and entitled. Three Evenings
With Money"
One of the most popular things issued
by this committee is speech made on the
stump in Texas by Judge Aldridse Sin
the franking privilege, through the agen--
ey of a Dernocrat-Senator Caffery, of
Louisiana, wao in speech in the Senate
Texas speech. The committee has lifted
1t and made separate document OF x.
Over at Democratic headquarters the
with the demand that comes from all Sec
tions of the country The State of Ar
kansas, the home of Chairman Jones, ad-
mitted on all sides to be absolutely GER
tain for the Democratic ticket by a very
handsome majority, is clamorouS for free
silver literature, and the names of hum
dreds of Republicans are being sent in
with the request that this sort OF thing
be mailed TO them. The Middle Western
States are consuming vast quantities of
free silver literature, and the printers hav-
ing contracts with the committee are
forced to operate their works to the limit
to come anywhere near getting the work
out. In Ohio alone tons of literature
have been distributed, and every line of it
pertains solely to the financial problem
Thousands and thousands of Republicans
whose names are secured by Democratic
workers, are regularly supplied with this
food, and the increasing demands for it
in letters written by the recipients them
committee to believe that the State is to
be overturned at the coming election.
The chairmen of both committees agree
that never before was there such a read
ing campaign. The Republican prep
aration of this literature for distribution,
will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
No one is turned down. and every letter
asking fer information at ex-headquarters
is referred to some particular Individual
and an answer written. If 1T can be re-
piled to with printed matter, such IS used;
is not a written letter is sent. Thus the
committee rs kept in touch, not only with
himself The mailing rooms of the
two committees are vast bee hives, where
every ernploye puts IN from eight to ten
hours day. and frequently another force
is engaged until midnight on the same
work.
