FOR BRYAN
Were the Cheers Given in William l..
Wilson's Gold Bug Meeting at
Charles Town His Arguments
Fell Flat, and Were Answered in
the Evening.

Special 70 the Register.
CHARLES TOWN. w. Va, October l..
Postmaster General VIM. L. Wilson made
his first gold standard speech in this cam
paign in the Court House at this place
this evening.
The court room was crowded with about
fve hundred persons. among whom We're
one hundred ladies'. who turned out TO
hear him. More than half this crowd were
Republicans. amongwhom was a large con-
tingent of colored people. The rest of the
audience was composed of silver Demo
Gratis and about fifty Democratic gold
bu-s.
When Mr.. Wilson entered he was given
ar ovation by the ladies and Republicans,
which lasted several minutes. As no one
presided over the meeting. and no one in
troduced Mr.. Wilson when he arose 10
speak. he was given lusty cheer. His
speech consisted of an argument in favor
of the gold standard and defense OF
Clevelaud's administration. and lasted for
two hours. He said nothing new IN his
argument. Whenever he mentioned Mr..
Brvan's name there was loud cheering.
His speech was not pleasing 10 the silver
men. and his arguments for the gold
standard fell fat with them. He spoke in
n very. earnest manner and impressed his
audience with the honesty Of his convic-
tions. His greeting was nothing like the
ovation given him here two years ago.
when he opened his last campaign for Con-
gress.
Tonight Hon. andrew A. Lipscomb' eX-
district attorney of Washington. d. c.
made reply to Nir. Wilson's speech TO
a large audience in the Court House. The
meeting was very enthusiastic and the
Court House was crowded with earnest
silver men. Mr.. Lipscomb spoke for an
bour and half and completely answered
and refuted Mr.. Wilson'S arguments.
Hon. Thos. y. Brantly. chief of divis-
ion in the Treasury Department and res
i5ant of south Carolina. also made an eX-
cellent free silver speech tonight, follow
ing Mr. Lipscomb.
The Democrats are thoroughly aroused
i'm Jefferson county and the strength OF
the Palmer ticket is estimated at about
fftv votes. The Democratic organiza-
NON is good and almost every night
specches are made at some points in the
county.

sented by the minority at the Chicago con-
vention?
Mr. Bryan paused but there was no an
swer.
/ repeat the question. You have asked
me questions. You ought to be willing to
answer questions. Did you endorse the
minority plank at Chicago?
Again there was no answer.
Well. my friends, I have spent so much
time trying TO find the editor of this pa
per and TO unmask man who Is seeking
to elect a Republican by pretending to
support the indianapolis ticket that I find
1 have no time left to talk to you. ask
you TO remember that the gold standard
never fought an open fight. Those who
supported the minority plank at Chicago
pretended TO be afraid that free coinage
would prevent international bimetallism
and when they got to Indianapolis they
forgot all about bimetallism and DECLARED
for the gold standard. Then they nomin-
ated a ticket which they did not intend 10
vote for because they were not willing to
bear the odium of voting for the Repub-
lican ticket. I prophesy that the editor Of
the Press does not intend to vote for Pal
mer and Buckner l prophesy that he in
tends to vote for the Republican candidate
and that he is receiving money from the
Republican committee TO keep up pre-
tended fight for the indianapolis ticket.
A fifteen minutes stop was made at
Durand. where Mr.. Bryan spoke from a
platform near the station. There was n
good sized crowd of listeners and consid-
cradle enthusiasm. There were no new
points i'm the candidates address. Several
boxes of cut flowers were presented 10
Mrs Bryan and three cheers were given
for the next lady of the White House

Detroit, Mich, October 17.-William
J. Bryan completed his tour of Michigan
tonight by addressing the largest
throngs of people ever gathered at pa
lit.cal meetings in Detroit From plat
form erected against the Washington
boulevard side OF the Hotel Cadillac, he
talked to a mass of people which filled
the wide boulevard and extended far in
to adjaining streets.
At the Auditorium be spoke to an au-
dience which occupied every inch of the
space, while thousands stood outside
waiting for possible sight Of the can
didate.
Lastly he appeared upon a stand erect
ed at the Woodward avenue front of the
City Hall. before a crowd which was so
great that it stopped all street car and
other traffic entirely.
The candidates train was met at the
Woodward avenue station, three miles
from the center of the city, by the re-
ception committee. The procession of
carriages went down Woodward avenue
and to the Hotel Cadillac by a rear alley
entrance, thus avoiding the crowds on
Michigan avenue.
a roar OF enthusiastic applause went
up from the crowd as Bryan appeared,
and tremendous enthusiasm was kept
up the entire evening.
/ At the City Hall Square Mr.. Bryan
said:
Il am glad to receive the support Of
the plain people, because the plain peo-
pie are satisfied with a public officer
when ne does his duty and protects
/ them in the enjoyment of equal rights
/ with everyone else instead Of trying TO
make favorites of few at the eX-
pense of the many. They tell Us in this
campaign that all the big men are
/ against us. Well, I have been looking
/ the matter up, and / find according to
/ the law big man does not vote any
Cftener than a small man.
Mr.. Bryan then made a five minute
discussion of the silver question, giving
las the fundamental principles that IN
order for each individual to have more
/ money there must be more in circulation
and claiming that the treasury reports
/ show a decrease.

They are Mrs. Charles D. Stearns and

Mrs. Castle and her wealthy husband

charming young woman" said Miss
Morrison. Every one in Wilmington
knew Of her unfortunate weakness, but
nevertheless she was a UNIVERSAL favor

was prominent in social circles and at

that she would take little things. Peo-

All hoped in time she would get over
her failing. But she never did. There
was no reason why she should appro-
priate what did not belong 10 her, for

everything she wanted. Everything
was done to cure her Of her mania, and
finally she was sent out here in the hope
