TILLMAN'S IDEAS.
He is Confident That Bryan Will Win
the Fight.

HARRISBURG (Pa), Aug. 21.-Sen-
ator Tillman of South Carolina passed
through Harrisburg to-day on his way
to the farmers encampment at Mount
Grana and was in a talkative mood.
When asked what would be done with
Watson he said:
well, now, that is hard one. but
! suppose we will let him stay on the
ticket Whatever the result of the
contest for Vice President between
Sewall and Watson, all will be grist
for the Bryan mill, and it is Bryan we
want to elect. Watson will get a few
electoral votes that Sewall won't get,
and vice versa, and Bryan will be the
beneficiary"
How do you find the financial senti-
ment in the West?" the Senator was
asked
so tinctured with silver lining that
the gold bugs won't have half chance" !"
Then you think the chances of Bry-
ans election are rosy?"
'Of course 1 do. The gold bugs will
carry everything here in the East. but
in the West and South they will not
have hard time counting their votes on
the night of November 3D. We do not
expect to yield all the Eastern States
to Mckinley, either, without a fight.
and We may give the other fellows a
scare in New York State
How about South Carolina?"
'Oh, everything is so much one way
down there as to be monotonous" he
replied with a, laugh.

ONLY A DREAM.
That is What Colonel Mosby Saws of
BimetaIlism.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-A special from
Washington says: Colonel John S. Mos
by, who achieved notoriety during the
civil war as one of the most daring ran
gers on the Confederate side and who
was subsequently appointed Consul
General to China by President Grant
has addressed an open letter to a vir-
ginia editor, who asked Mosbys views
on the political situation and the policies
represented by the two Presidential cam
didates in the country.
''Bimetallism, he says, "by which is
meant the coinage and circulation of
the two metals in private account, with
full legal tender value, is a dream that
can never be realized. To discard a
policy merely because great CONNER
cial nation was the first to adopt 1t
would be as absurd as TO accept the
Rev. John Jasper's theory of the solar
system in preference to Newton's.
II believe in monometallism just as
believe in any other law of nature-the
revolution of the earth and the motion
of the planets. For the same reason
that deprecated greenbacks drove
specie out of circulation, deprecated sill
yer with free coinage would drive gold
out of circulation.
THE silver craze is one of those peri
odical epidemics that have passed over
the country. They always breed dema-
gogues. Men are still living who can
remember when people We're run mad
over the Morus Multicaulis and every
body was going to get rich off mulberry
leaves Mulberry leaves are a surer
foundation for a fortune than fiat
money"

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.-Mrs.
Thomas o. Selfridge, Sr., died in this
city to-day at the home of her son,
Edward Selfridge, at 2615 California
street, at the advanced age of So years.
The immediate cause of death was old
age. Her maiden name was Louisa
Carey Soley, and she was the daughter
of Squire John Soley of Charlestown,
Mass. She came to California recently
on a visit to her two sons in this city,
Frank c. Selfridge and Edward A. Sell
fridge.
Mrs. Selfridge was the wife of the
Oldest Rear Admiral in the United
States Navy. He was appointed a mid
shipman from Massachusetts in 1918,
and was retired in 1866 after over fifty
five years of continuous service. Two
Of her sons are in the United States
Navy now. One of these, Thomas O.
Selfridge, is also a Rear Admiral. An
other son is Lieutenant-C Commander
James r. Selfridge
Rear Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge,
Sr, who survives his wife, is 81 years
old. For many years Rear Admiral and
Mrs. Selfridge have resided at Wash
ington, D. C.
The plans of the family are not yet
settled, but it is probable that the re-
mains of Mrs. Selfridge Will be taken
East for interment. The blow fell
heavily upon the aged husband.

and Thomas Murphy, under the care of

being prepared for a delicate operation,
which was to have been performed to-

prescribed a draught to be admins
tered every half-hour.
Mallabar, whose sight is defective,
mistook a bottle of cocculus indicus for
the intended potion, and served both
men with the poisonous liquid. Netcher,
who is 60 years of age and a native of
Massachusetts, died in great agony a
few minutes later, and Murphy cannot
recover. Mallabar has been placed un

WATERFOWL On. W, Aug. 21.-Ex-
Governor Flower was elected President
OF the Sound Money Democratic Club
at its meeting tonight. The organiza-
ton has over $50 members. In his
speech of acceptance Governor Flower
discussed a point IT. answer to Mr..
Bryan's recent deliverance which has
not been touched upon by others. He
said
Il want to call your attention to a
part of Mr.. Bryan's recent speech in
New York in which he unconsciously
discloses his character. To allay the
apprehensions Of the debtor that free
silver legislation might not be enacted
before the creditor could call in his
loan or foreclose his mortgage, Mr..
Bryan says: If in November the peo-
pie declare themselves in favor of the
immediate restoration of binetalliSm
the system can be inaugurated within
a few months This he says can be
done by the virtue of the Presidents
power to convene Congress in extraor-
dlnary session. The debt payer said:
How shall l be able to pay my debts
at the rate of fifty cents on the dollar
since it will take thirteen months at
the least to enact the necessary legis-
lation, and in that time my creditor
will have been able to call in my loan
or foreclose his MORTGAGE?
Mr.. Bryan treasures him and ap-
peals to his dishonesty by saying: Just
as soon as l am President l shall rush
the system through before the creditor
has a chance to call in his loan or fore
close his mortgage
Why this hurry, Mr.. Bryan? Obvi-
ously you believe in the debasement of
the dollar which will allow the dishon-
est debtor to repudiate his debts. And
how does Mr.. Bryan reconcile this with
the assertion in a prior part of his
speech that free coinage will raise the
price of silver bullion to ST % per
ounce, measured by gold? He cannot
reconcile the two statements because
Il the former is true then there would
be need for hurrying. because the
debtor would not be benefited If sill
yer goes to a par with gold. Put that
Mr.. Bryan knows that his prior asser-
ton is false and that silver will not
advance is shown by his latter assur-
ance that the system will be inaugu-
rated before the creditor has a chance
to collect what. is owing to him. I
should think this man would fear to
expose himself to people whose honor
he so grossly insults by offering them a
hribe of forty-seven cents on each dol
lar of their Indebtedness.

BRYAN'S ATTACK OF FISHING
FEVER ALLOWS HIM THE.
Rumor That Senator Hill Will Prob
ably Give His Support to the
Silver Candidate.

UPPER RED HOOK On. V, Aug.
21.-The Bryan and Sewall campaign
will be opened in earnest tomorrow at
Tivoli, this county, by Mr.. Bryan. With
the exception of his Madison Square ad-
dress. the speech he will deliver
it is said, will be the most important
of his utterances since his nomination.
For the first time he will deal directly
with the issues of the campaign. The
meeting has been largely advertised,
and a big crowd is expected.
Mr. Bryan's visit to Major James w.
Hinckley, Chairman of the New York
state Democratic Committee, will begin
on Monday. AS to the import of the
meeting between Major Hinckley and
himself Mr.. Bryan is uncommunica-
tive.
1t is likely that Mr.. Bryan will spend
Monday night at Winnisook Lodge in
the Catskills, where Major Hinckley
is summering, and the two will have
every opportunity to discuss the situ-
alton in detail Major Hinckley, while
one of the gold leaders at the Chicago
Convention, has been non-committal
since Mr.. Bryan's nomination and his
invitation to the candidate is looked on
the ticket The significant part of Mr.
Pryan's visit to Winnisook Lodge lies
in the belief that Major Hinckley is
acting for Senator Hill and the claim
is made that it foreshadows the Sena-
tors action at the State Convention.
A rumor was current here to-day that
Senator Hill will attend the Bryan meet
ing at Albany Tuesday night, when the
candidate will make speech, but it
could not be confirmed through Mr.
Bryan or any other source.
A fishing fever took possession of Mr.
Bryan again to-day. With Mr.. and Mrs
Perrine, their daughter and some
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan drove out
TO Spring Lake, couple of miles from
Upper Red Hook, to try their luck with
the rod. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan rowed off
to a secluded part of the lake and while
Mrs. Bryan fished her husband pro-
duced pencil and paper and devoted
himself to writing. Neither he nor Mrs.
Bryan would say what he was compos-
ing. but everybody knew it was his let
ter of acceptance.
The party reached Upper Red Hook at
dark, tired and hungry. Mr.. Bryan
found Congressman William Sulzer
from New York awaiting him. With
Mr.. Sulzer was Professor Van Burr
Dinslow, who formerly occupied the
chair of political economy at Chicago
University and is now a writer on eco
nomics generally Mr.. Sulzer and Pro-
fessor Dinslow spent an hour at Mr..
Perrine's house with Mr.. Bryan.
