John Daily, DIR. Gallagher and
Thomas Devany, three of the
Irish dynamiters, who have served
thirteen years of sentence of ue.
nal servitude for life, were releas
ed from Portland prison last week
1t is not known whether the re-
lease of these life convicts is due
to a sentiment of humanity on the
part Of the British crown or to a
recognition of the fact that they
have been all these long years re
strained of their liberty unjustly

testimony of suborned pe,jurers

HIGHER PRICES FOR BIKES"
High-GFade Firms Put Up n Job on
Cheap Manufa cturers.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 26.-Bicycles will cost
more next year This statement is made
on the authority of a Pittsburg manufac-
turer of bicycle tubing. He said that the
meeting at the Hotel Waldorf, in New
York, this week, was not a gathering of
wrought iron pipe manufacturers, as re-
ported Instead, it was meeting of tube
makers and as a result of their delihera-
tons cheap bicycles will be forced from
the market. For some time the Pope
Manufacturing Company, the Gormully &
Jeffery Company and other manufacturers
of high-grade bicycles have been trying to
shut out the cheap wheels and thus MAIN
tain the high prices that the best bicycles
commanded. They have succeeded in doing
this through the manufacturers of tubing
There are twelve tubing companies and
they have signed contract not to sell any
more tubes to other than legitimate manu-
facturers of wheels. The makers of the
cheap wheels are called ''assembers They
buy the different parts of the wheel from
different manufacturers; then they fit the
parts and sell good wheels under
high-grade prices By getting the
tubing manufacturers to shut off the
supply of tubing from the ''assemblers''
the high-class wheel manufacturers will
shut off competition. An agent was sent
to Europe to agitate a similar combination
there. The tube manufacturer who gave
the informa ton said that anotner meeting
will be held in a few weeks, when the in
creased price for next season will be agreed
upon.

A GOOD TICKET.
Sentiment as to the work of Yester-
days Convention.

The ticket nominated by the two conven-
lions yesterday is looked upon by those
who have considered 1t unusually strong.
There is not a man in the entire number
who can be charged with having ak to
grind, or of whom it can be said that he
desires to go to the Legislature to further
his individual interests or affairs of bust
ness Their records are clear, and it is
only in few cases that any has ever held
Office before. The general feeling is that
they are all philosophical men who will
work to the interest of the public in the
LEGISLATURE and will not allow private af
fairs to influence them in their action, nor
will they be guided swayed by lobby
that works for personal ends
The members of the convention seemed
to be very we'll pleased with their work.
for while all were not successful in nomi-
mating their faYorite. there must be some
disappointments where there are more can
didates than offices, and defeat was taken
as the fortune of the contest. There was
no grumbling az the result, but all left the
hall declaring that, while some favoriteS
were defeated the quality of the ticket
could not have been bettered by the selec-
ton of any of the other men whose names
were before the convention. AS q fitting
closing for the convention. the de fegates
united in a cheer for the ticket selected,
and in three cheers for the one who heads
the entire ticket-Major William Mckinley.

STORES ARE BUSY
Only when the Workshops of the
Country Are Busy.


w. H. Burchfield introduced a small dele
cation of men gaily bedecked with badges
as the employees of Joseph Horne & Co., of
Plttsburg. Major Mckinley addressed them
briefly, principally on the currency issue
He said
"Fellow-citizens from the great house
of Joseph Horne & Co.. of Pittsburgh
affords pleasure to have you here at
my home and TO know that the cause
which L have the honor to represent for
the moment has your support and conf
dence. (Applause.) The books of the mer-
chant. quite as accurately as anything else,
register the prosperity of the country. No
body feels business depression and pros
traitor quicker than the merchant and no.
body feels prosp rity and good times quick
err You. gentlemen, old and young. who
stand about here to-day know the differ
ence between the condition you now have
and have had for two or three years. and
the condition which you had prior to 1893.
(Cries of We do!) | cannot tell you any
thing about that, and no city in the Union
has felt more than the city of Pittsburg
the influence of constantly employed work
ingmen in constantly running workshops.
Whenever your workshops in the city of
Pittsburg have been busy you have been
busy in your store, and when they have
been idle you have been idle. (Applause)
1T is proposed now that we Shall not
only have present condition, which is
bad enough, continued, but shall have
it aggravated by the determination of GER
and depreciate and degrade the currency
of the country. You do not have in your
remember was al Indispensable thing be-
fore the war-a bank-1ote detector. When
money is paid over your counter now you
know there is no depreciation in 1t, wheth-
er it is national bank notes or treasury
notes gold silver certificates. gold or
silver itself or greenbacks. You know that
every dollar you receive is just as good as
gold and you do not have to consult either
Fhe bank-note detector or the daily news
papers to discover whether that money is
good or not You know it is good. Cap
plause and cries of That's right!o 1t is
proposed now to enter. upon the experiment
Of the tree coinage of silver, which would
give at the present price of silver, Scent
dollars. and thereafter, if that policy
should be inaugurated, you would have to
consult the daily markets in the neWspa-
pers to know what silver dollar was
worth before you took it. Great cheers
and cries of That's right!O My fellow
citizens. we neither want unrestrained
nor unrestricted competition from Europe
nor do we propose to have the money of
Mexico or China to answer our purpose in
this civilized country. Great applause and
cries of 'Hurrah for Mckinleyi) L bid
you all good afternoon" Great applause.)

be as good as every good dollar: you want
when you have worked for your railroad TO
be paid in money that is worth 100 cents to
the dollar. You do not want to be paid in
a debased or deprecated currency. foa
want another thing for your advancement.
You want the country TO be prosperous.
Railroads are prosperous only when the
country is prosperous; railroads are always
embarrassed when the business OF the coun-
try is depressed. You will have nothing to
haul unless somebody wants the products
that somebody else makes along your line,
and the more products you can carry the
steadier will be your employment ana the
better your wages.
Yours is most delicate and dangerous
employment. / never step on railroad
train after either long or short journey

acknowledgement to every railroad employe
for his care for the safety of the passen-
gers. (Applause.) l never step off rail-
road train that | do not feel like going to
the engineer and taking off my hat TO him.
tApplause.)
Il am glad to meet and greet you to-day.
You have not come to do me honor person
ally; you have come TO do honor to the
cause which by the partiality OF a great
ment stand. You are interested in the sue

you believe that those principles carried
