Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1896-08-18
HARD HIT.

The speech made by Bryan In New
York, has proven II broadside TO the
Mckinley managers. In q day or
30 the Republican papers We're filled
with London dispatches to the effect
that the speech had fallen So fiat that
1t was regarded 10 EDgl md as a fore
runner of Bryan's defeat, and that
American securities had advanced In
consequence.
These dispatches were all faxed and
gave pretended quotations from Lon
don papers which only existed in
the Imagination Of Hanna and his
LieuteDants.
Despite the efforts Of the gold bug
press Of New York to convince their
readers that the Bryan meeting at
Madison Square Garden was q failure
those who were present from both pc
litical parties remarked up n the
enormous gathering, the enthusiasm
which prevailed aud the profound ef-
feet which the calm and ~considerate
speech of the orator made upon those
who heard it That effect will be
more than q million voters Of the
country. The Democratic Congress
ional committee il in receipt OF tele-
graphic appeals for hundreds of
thousands Of copies Of the speech.
Senator Faulkner will see to it that the
demands OF the people are complied
with.
While the Republican managers
pooh-pooh 1t the notification meeting
and declare that disappointment was
the only result, they privately admit
that the speech is likely to do great
damage to the Mckinley cause among
consel vative voters, who have hereto
fore been informed that Bryan and
the Chicago platform stand for an
archism, riot, repudiation and dis
order.
Mr.. Bryan is greatly pleased with
the phenomenal series OF receptions
which he has received on his tour
East. The ~outpouring OF the masses
has beer a genuine surprise to him
self and his party. and the widespread
interest in the question given by the
workingmen and wage-earners gen.
orally have been most cheering to the
supporters Of himetaIlism The Re.
publican admit that the
attempt to switch the issue from the
money question to the tariff has uE
to date been a dismal failure.
At the Republican headquarters
there is a vigorous discussion OF thu
necessity Of placing M"Kinley on the
stump in order, if possible, to count.
eract the effect of the speeches which
Mr.. Bryan has delivered on hi.
Journey to New York Every~her.

the money question. and it is signi
fcaut to note that ju-t as in anti-slav

quent Senator Stewart says that tn,
free coinage tide is sweeping over tn
East, and that the great surprise o
the campaign to the goldbugs will b.
the loss Of several E4stern States. R.
cognition OF the fact that the election
of Mckinley and a gold STANDARD
House will not result in any chang
Of the tariff laws while the Senate con

that the quickest way to secure
