party, and Clarence s. Darrow, a Chicago
lawyer, for the Democrats and Populists,
contested with oratory and argument for
Presidential votes this afternoon at Lake.
side, the grounds of the Monowai Assem-
bly, near this city. The gathering. politl-
cally, was Republican by large majority,
and the assignment of the Senator to
speak under the auspices of the assembly
on its closing day by the Republican Ma
tional Committee made the event, in part,
the opening of the Western campaign.
About 5000 persons, many of them. wo-
men, were present. By lucky chance only
fatality was averted on the Madison
street side of the lake. Senator Thurston
had been escorted by hundred mem bers
OF the local Republican marching club
from the Park Hotel to the pier where
steam launches are taken to Lake Wise.
There was wild scramble of hundreds to
get tickets and reach the boats on fraiI
rotten landing of single planks, which
threatened to collapse under the extra
weight.
No ATTEMPT was made to check the
crowd and some of the people broke past
the ticket-takers to a narrow pier used to
load coal. The Senator had embarked
when this frail woodwork broke, carrying
a dozen persons into four feet of water.
William Larkin, an old retired citizen of
Madison, fell fat in the water, his head
striking a rock, which inflicted a bad
scalp wound, but he was saved from
drowning.
Senator Thurston was first presented to
the audience, being allowed one hour and
five minutes to speak. The Senator said /:
''We are here especially to discuss GER
tain financial theories and views which
are disturbing our people. This money
question is new one in this CAMPAIGN. I
was brought up to believe that the judg-
ment of the man who had succeeded in
man who had failed; that the word of the
man who had never broken his promise
was better to believe than that of the man
who had broken his word. Therefore, I
think it is safer for me TO keep away from
the leadership OF such men as Al.geId and
Tillman and Llewelling and Waite and
follow the lead of Allison and Reed and
that greatest of all Americans-William
Mckinley of Ohio.
-Four years ago the issue before the
people, made for the most part by the M en-
who are now presenting another ssue,was
not the issue which they would have you
believe should be the one on which to 90
to the polls in 1895. William J. BRYAN
made no other argument and advocated
no other issue four years ago than the
tariff. He and his associates had no inten-
ton of bringing forth this new issue until
they saw they were eyerlastipgly defeated
on the issue of free trade on which
they secured a majority of votes four
years ago. Mr.. Bryan said then, Give us
free trade and business will boom, but it
busted.

Democratic Leaders Boldly Repmdtate
the Electoral Ticket.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, July 31.-The
silver Democratic leaders of Florida have
repudiated the Democratic electoral ticket
and decided to issue an address to the
free-silver Democrats requesting them TO
send delegates to State convention at
which the future course of the faction will
be determined upon. This action was
taken by the Bryan and Sewall Silver Club
of Florida at meeting held in Jackson
vile to-day, and the avowed purpose of
the leaders is to put new State and
electoral tickets in the field composed
entirely of silver men. The trouble has
been coming evident ever since the State
convention in June. when free-silver
plank was defeated by a tie vote. the silver
men alleging that the result was accom-
plished by silver delegate being induced
by improper influence to violate his in
structions.

OMAHA, NEBR.. July 31.-The greatest
excitement prevails among farmers of
Boxbutte County over communication
received yesterday from the First National
Bank of Alliance. The letter was received
by persons who were obligated to the
bank and whose loans become due before
November and reads:
ALLIANCE, Nebr., July %, 1896.
Dear Sir: Owing to the constant agitation of
the financial policy of the United States and
the socialistic feeling emanating from the
Chicago convention there has been a doubt
thrown over the minds of the people, such
that points to the possibility of greater panic
than we have yet seen should the laboring
men of this country be thrown out of employ
ment (now only half employed). There will
be great labor trouble, such that will call on
our military and cause much distrust to the
future outcome. We prefer to do nothing
until there is more stability rather than take
the chances of losing what we have, ard
would advise all our friends to stay out of
debt. We will call in all our paper this fall.
We have your note, 3, due --. Please be
prepared to meet 1t promptly and do not ask
for further time. Yours truly,
R. M. HAMPTON Cashier.

elected to succeed Monsignor Satolli,
Father MartinelH refused to accept, but
after being summoned into the presence
of the Pope yesterday and being informed

AGRAM, HUNGARY, July 31.-For some
time the Stenjevee district was infested
by gang that was organized for the pur-
pose of brigandage and murder. The
authorities finally determined to make an
effort to extirpate the gang, the result being
that a number of men and women were
arrested either on direct knowledge that
they were implicated in the crimes of
which the gang were accused or On suspi-
cion that they were implicated. The pris-
oners were brought to trial and to-day
verdict OF guilty of murder was pro-
nounced against nineteen of them, who
were sentenced to death. Others of the
prisoners were convicted of lesser crimes
and were sentenced to various terms of
imprisonment. Two of the prisoners on
whom sentence of death was passed are
