Reaches Marshalltown.

Marshaltown, Ia, Oct S.-Short speeches were made by MT. Bryan be- tween Cedar Rapids and Marshalltown this evening to crowds at Belle Plains and Tama City. Excellent time was made, and Marshalltown was reached at TAO.
 Two meetings were addressed here by MT. Bryan tonight, the first in big tent erected in front of the court house, and the second in the opera house. Both of these places were crowded. After the meetings MT. Bryan retired on his special car, which was attached to the regular train on the Northwestern, leaving for Sioux City at 1:45 a. m. There was noth- ing new in the first speech. In the course of his remarks at the opera house he said:
 "We have to depend largely upon clubs to carry this election. l think that the club Is more important in this campaign than it has been in recent years. The silver clubs must do much upon our side to offset the club that employers hold over their employees. (Cheers) l want to ask the silver clubs of Iowa, as I have already asked the silver clubs through out the United States, to do one thing that will prove their loyalty and aid our cause. I want to ask the free silver clubs in Iowa and every silver club in the United States to meet at the polling places on election day and give the whole day to work for free silver. (Applause) More than that, we are not able to hire carriages as p1entlfully as our opponents, ard I want to ask the members of the silver clubs to go to the polls with their wagons and their buggies and their car riages, so that we will have vehicles there to bring to the polls any persons who are not able to come without being brought. Applause)
 My friends, this is but little request, and yet, if the members of the clubs will comply with it, it means much for the caIiee of bimetalliSm"

WALTERS IN JAIL,
Says He Is Coming Home Loaded to the
 Muzzle.

Muzzle.
 Louisville, Ky, Oct. 9-The Courier Journal publishes an editorial letter from MT. Henry Watterson dated Geneva, in which the veteran editor says that the action of the Chicago convention has caused his return to politics which he gave up two years ago as he thought, for good. MT. Watterson says:
 ''The scandalous circumstances attend ing the Chicago proceeding, the shame less abandonment of democratic truth in the platform there adopted and the gro- tesque character of the ticket nominated there left me no alternative as a true democrat and an honest man. and hay ing in this way been drawn back into a certain relation to a political warfare which has never had any personal ettrac- tion to me, am back to stay, and on my return to Kentucky shall consider myself enlisted for the war. I have no explana- tions to make or apologies to offer, and, ready to take all the blows 1t may please heaven to send. Please God, they shall be returned with interest if the power in me lives. There is but one hope for the country, but one for the democratic party, and that hope lies imbedded in the principles followed by the Indianapolis platform and represented by the candi- dacy of Palmer and Buckner"

The Memphis Evening Scimiter Comes Out
 for Mckinley

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. S.-The Evening Scimitar, which has been fighting the regular democracy, state and national, for year or more, came out this after noon squarely for Mckinley and the re- publican state ticket Referring to the advisory reference by MT. Bryan to the local congressional race during his re- cent visit here, the Scimitar says:
 "There may bea few sound money dem- ocrats who have so little self-respect that they will cast their ballot for Bryan in spite of the slap in the face, but the great majority of them will vote for Mckinley. The campaign for Palmer and Buckner has not been conducted with that vlgor and enthusiasm which the Indianapolis convention promised, and 1t is daily be- coming more apparent that a vote for them will be a vote wasted The issue is too important for trifiing. Not single sound money vote should be thrown away"

Cur zon Hoffman carried with him, including his own holdings, 4000 shares. General Gill had guaranteed S100 per share to the owners of the block which he represent ed.
