bunting and decorations were displayed,
these being particularly noticeable in
Cbeapside and Newgate streets.
A pleasing feature of the parade was
the maids Of honor who accom- panied the
lady Mnyoress. The ladies who otIicisted
in this capacity were Miss Faudell

Wirgfieid, Miss Churchill, Miss Waldlspd,

Gov. Taylor left Knoxville this morn

executive committee At the station the
party was met by o special committee
and escorted 10 the hotel where a pub

spoke from the front OF the court house
10 an audience Of attentive listeners, mum

Evans, he said, could not stand as a mar
tyr before him, and at any rate the pcO-
pie were tired of a man running for every
office within the republic from Vice Pres

characterized as truth Inspired by God.
and the governor said as for
himself he was running on the
happy home ticket. and ike Bryan
the people were for him and would elect
him. The democratic nominees for the
chancery court of appeals were referred
to In an eulogistic manner and the sup
port of the people was urged.
The speech, as a whole was charac-
teristic OF Gov. Taylor's wit and good
humor, and he was frequently interrupt
ed by voeifcrous applause, especially when
he mentioned Mr.. Bryan's name. After
his speech the crowd gathered around
the next governor, and assured him that
not only himself, but the free silver plat
form adopted by the national convention
at Chicago would secure their support.
Mr.. Taylor viii speak al Winchester

RATHER QUEER SUGGESTION.
That siIverites Are RaidiRR the
Treasury TO Force a Bond Issue.

That silveFites Are RaIdiRg the
Treasury to Force a Bond Issue.
Washington, July 21.--At the treasury
department, there is a general belief that
a systematic raid has been again started
on the gold reserve. for the large with
drawals of gold at this time are not sea-
sonable, under ordinary circumstances
The customs receipts are not keeping up
with the expectations of the secretary, and
It is evident that the deficit instead Of de-
creasing, will continue to grow larger and
larger as the present fiscal year advances.
1t Is contended that the expenditures thus
far this month have been unusually large,
because of the large amount paid out for
interest and pensions, but even that ex-
PLANTATION does not relieve the situation of
its gravity, and the drain on the gold re-
serve goes on at the rate of S2,000.Oo0 to-
day.
IT is said that the present run on the
gold reserve Is being made by the friends
OF free silver, who hope by depicting the
treasury to force the President TO issue
more bonds A well known free silver man
said to-day that another bond issus before
election day win net Bryan several mil
lions Of votes that he may not otherwise
get
