M'KINLEY GOES TO CLEVELAND.
Canton, o., July 20.-There was no
blare of trumpets or pretensions of formal
ity of Office when Maj. Mckinley started
on his trip to Cleveland today. 1t was
n damp, rainy morning in Canton. 1t
was first intended that MAJ. and Mrs. Me
I<inley should leave for Cleveland at $3.50.
The majors mall however, has assumed
such enormous proportions that he found
it impossible to leave at that time. He
was engaged with Private Secretary Boyle
during the morning, endeavoring to take
care of thousands Of letters that had
reached him Saturday evening and Sun
day. Shortly after noon his surrey was
driven to his residence and the major
and Mrs. Mckinley were driven to the
station, where they took the 1890 train.
Maj. McKinleys address will, of course,
be of an entirely nOn-partisan character.

Constitute the Support of
BryaniteS.
They are Neither Widespread
Nor VOte-PrOducing.
In Opposition are Arrayed Patriot
ism and Common Sense.

The Monetary Trust In its political fore
cast of today says:
There are three forces, and there are
only three noteworthy forces, which now
support the di.apidated fortunes of Mr..
Bryan--the dishonest hopes OF those who
produce silver, the anxiety of large
number of loyal SoutherDers lest a negro
party should obtain control OF their local
governments and the desire OF cheap pol
iticiaps to retain the old time Demo-
cratic organization with a view to local
offices. Except for these three influences
the supporters under Mr.. Bryan would
give way entirely. After the election 1t
will appear that he has received no
respectable vote except In the localities
where these special influences can be
distinctly traced. On the other hand the
Catholic and Protestant clergy, the fac
ulties OF our colleges, the best journalists,
those statesmen who command general
respect, the best rsprese ltatives of.coni-
mercial and financial circles, the self-in-
terest ana patriotism OF all un biased men
these ana all other estimable forces are
now making for the preservation OF na
tional honor. Heretofore 1t has so me-
times seemed that the blindness OF psr-
tisanship and the rigidity OF party lines
would prove the one menace TO Repuoli-
can government, but the fact that genu-
Inc men among Democrats have been
ble in this crisis to extricste themselves
from their political environm snt.is the
greatest moral victory i'm the history Of
the American people. That such men
should rise in this manner above party
lines will have more TO do W itn the fu.
ture OF this country than the liberation
OF slaves. Native born patriots may we'll
exult in the thought that Hebrew,
German AMI all the better foreign ele-
ments have joined with them In loyalty
to the best interests of this country and
for the creation OF purified citizenship.
Heretofore our political forecasts have
kept the rublic constantly advised of the
improving political situation. Long ago
we stated and now repeat, that the Unit
ed States Senate is certain TO have a ma
Iority Tor gold, ana the majority OF Nc
Knley in the electoral college will be
larger than the total vote OF Mr.. Bryan.
Weeks ago we stated that the time would
come when 1t would not be respects ple
in enlightened localities to favor that
candidate, and we now predict that dur
ing the few days preceding the election
there will be conspicuous stampede for
Bryanism. In every locality of the South,
for example, SOUND money will gain enor-
mously against the Bryan forces above
clone. New York and brooklyn hurri-
cane. and the Dappiest surprises of all the
campaign will come from Baltimore,
Richmond, Nashville, Memphis, St.Louis
and Louisiana.

kim ON the head. He remem tered moth
ing that took place after this until in the
Rhode Island Hospital he was told be had
been sick ten days. On cross examine
tion he denied that no was ordered of
the barge a couple OF times or that he
struck Benson first but admitted he had
drank something that day. lie was
sure, however. that no was more sober
than drunk. a witness named Pollard
testified TO seeing Benson strike Sullivan
with a capstan bar.

The Bank of England to
Increase Gold Rate,
Flow of Yellow Metal to This
Country to Be Stopped.
What Some London Newspapers
Have 10 Say on the Matter.

LONDON Oct, 2l.-There is a general
te'ief here that the directors of the Kank
of England. at their regular weekly meet
ing tomorrow, will raise the discount
rate from to per cent.
The newspapers agree in stating that
flow OF gold 10 America must bs stopped
The ST. James Gazette says: "Ac-
cording TO exchange exports even the
present rate does not allow margin of
profit TO ,pecuators, so thar a premium
on geld is evidently paid in New York
by those who are so nervous In regard
TO the political situation as TO insist
upon noarding gold. This Is n striking
comment on the cocksaredness Of the Re-
publicans anent the defeat Of Bryan. 1t
is also obvious that the very rapid ad-
vance in wheat adds considerably to the
power OF the Americans 20 draw on the
European gold supply and unless the di-
roctors of the bank are prepared to allow
the reserve to suffer further large dim
mutton rise in the rate tomorrow may
be counted upon as certain.
The Globe remarks: "Whetber the
wheat advance proceeds from the firm
man ipulations OF millionaire Republicans
or from natural causes the event cuts the
ground from unGer BryGn's feet.

MIR. smith. and Mr.. Smith asked him
where be got the bat. lie said that 1t

proprietor of the drug store, and the de-
scription given by these men tailed
with that of Mcintyre. and the white hat

WITH A DANGEROUS WEAPON.



Before Judge Wilbur and jury was
tried today George r. hiitchell, indicted
Tor an assault wi,h dangerous weapon
on Peter Frszar, who claims Boston as
his home, though on the 14th of July
last he resided on Wickenden street in
this city.
Much interest wns taken In the trial
and number OF witnesses for the State
testitied that Mitchell fi.ed n pistol tv ice
at Pagan aid hit him once in the
cheek, causing quite a serious wound
under the let o. Q. One witness gave a
dramatic touch 10 the trial by saying
that Fagan's wife who wss with Mitchell
when the shooting took place, said to the
latter "Here's revolver, defend your
self"
Fagan testified that on the July morn
ing referred to Mitchell came to his
home and was talking to his wife a while
when the visitor sent out f.r beer, which
he brought i'm and drank. Some time
afterwards kagau said he went out to
look for work, and took q car for Took
wotten Park. where someone told him bis
wife was walking with Mitchell on Tock-
wotten street. Fgan went to where the
parties were walking and after some hot
words struck Mitchell in tho face.
The latter then drew a revolver nrls fired,
after which Pagan ara some others grab
bed the pistol.
The defence was that Mitchell only acted
in self deisnce,a that he was Ia fear of
bodily harm from Fagan, who was in.
sanely jealous of his wife.
Assistant Attorney-Geuersl II. J. Du-
bois for the State ana John G. Quinn for
the defendant.
The jury found Michel guilty but his
counsel claimed weeks delay in which
to make motion for new trial.

ment which threatened TO swamp
plucky policeman and two negro desper-
ADDE'S whom he had captured almost In

vented the prisoners from being very
roughly handled by an indignant crowd
Tue affair was one of the boldest at
tempts al robbery every made in this

break away from bis grasp, another
negro, with a razor In his hand, stepped
up and threatened TO cut her throat IL
she made an outcry. lie then grabbed
10 pur his hand into her
pocket. Just then the young
woman wrenched herself loose, screamed
and dropped in q faint just as Pstrolmsn
Dolan OF Station turned a corner. Tie
ron toward the place, bat the negro
seeing him coming started of at full
speed. Five shots from the policeman's
revolver, although none Of them took
effect, frightened the fugitives go that
they stopped running and submitted to
arrest.
Meanwhile crowd had gathered and
on learning about the affair they began
TO jostle the negroes ana the policeman
with his charges was soon the center of
an ang-y throng. They shouted their
threats at the negroes and Dolan was
nna ble to move a foot on account OF the
crowd. The disturbance had been re-
ported to Station 4, and just at the crisis
assistance arrive from there and the pris-
oners were quickly removed. They gave
their names az James s. Harris, 20, and
