The figure of Andrew Jackson is one
OF the most dramatic In American his
tory. II is oddly significant of the re
voll of strong, imperious nature
against the subduing influence of civil
cation, that rub down the eccentrics OF
individuals and make them all outward
~ alike.
II is probable that the more scholarly
and gently-bred Wings of Jacksons day,
dlsgpsted by the oaths, the uncouth cos.
tune and abrupt manner of the old sol
der, moderated his stern integrity, and
the courage with which he held to an
opinion, however narrow, which he be-
lieved to be right
Jackson, on the other hand, unques-
tionably took delight in shocking them
BY unconventional outbreaks. 1t Is said
that he once went to cabinet meeting
wearing high boots covered with mud.
Observing the glances Of disgust which
fell upon them, he exclaimed;
II beg your pardon, gentlemen My
icct arc Wet nave oCSH Isl VIC oe"oie
yard
He at once ordered a footbath and
towels, and quietly bathed his feet then
and there.
The men present at this scene were
not likely TO give him credit for the
shrewdness and honesty of purpose
with which, having reclothed his feet,
he turned to the affairs Of state.
Had Jackson taken larger view of his
obligations to society and mis- personal
influence as the head of great nation,
he probably would have seen the folly
of weakening by his ill-breeding his
efforts to help his country.

The opinion prevails In diplomatic cir

now reached a point requiring vigorous

European powers and that such action
is imperative.
All the preparations are now made for
the army maneuvers which will begin on

have been taken for the safety of the

be the best solution of the riddle

AT JAMESTOWN
Thousands Struggle for q Sight Of Their
Champion

(udmplO1
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Not
since the Chicago convention has Will
liam J. Bryan been greeted with such
enthusiasm as was displayed at Cele-
ron, two miles from here on Lake Chau-
tauqua, tonight. Twelve thousand peo-
pie crowded into the convention hall and
thousands congregated outside the
building, crowding and fighting in an
endeavor to gain admittance into the
big hall, which has a seating capacity
of 5000. 1t was late in the evening be-
fore Mr. Bryan would consent to ad-
dress those within the frail walls of the
ic, which seemed imminent, so ardent
We're those outside the building to get
within sight of Mr.. Bryan, if not within
the hearing of his voice. Mr. Bryan had
to appeal to the frantic mob several
times to get them to remain quiet and to
those not seated to leave the building,
and it was only after promises of the local
committee that Mr.. Bryan would ad-
dress the overflow after the main event
that quiet was restored and the hall
cleared of the pushing and almost fran
tic mob.
The address delivered here by Mr..
Bryan was largely on the lines of his
speech at Hornellsville today. He ac-
cused his political opponents of having
brought about a panic to secure the
accomplishment of private ends. He
said they had forced issue after issue of
bonds, regardless of prices and of the
taxpayers who had to pay the prices.
He spoke of the Democratic admins
tration as one whose financial policy
had aroused the ire of the producers
of wealth. The Republican party, said
he, lost its opportunity in not denounc-
ing the policy and not Offering to give
the people silver. If the Republican
party had espoused the cause of the
people, no human agency, said Mr.. Bry-
an, could have prevented it's victory in
the coming campaign. He laid particu-
lar stress upon the claim of the Re-
publican party that it had struck the
shackles from all the slaves, and he
gained great applause by his statement
that it was now attempting to fasten
the fetters upon seventy million free
men.
Gold is a coward" was his express
sion. 1T has ever been a coward, and
the reason the advocates of the gold
standard are towards is because their
consciences bring to them the realiza-
tion that they bring ruin to the human
race
The greatest cheering the orator Sc
cured was when he said: I'VE, as Dem
ocrats, are glad to get rid of those DEM
ocrats who are using the Democratic
party for private gain. We bid them
Godspeed into the Republican party and
] say that whenever one of these Demo-
Gratis makes a hole to get into the Re-
publican party, it will be large enough
to let out ten honest Republicans who
want to come to the Democratic party"
Through all the danger of panic Mrs.
Bryan sat on the platform with a half
smile on her face, but the paleness of her
countenance indicated that she was a
little apprehensive of danger from the
eager thousands that struggled on the
outside of the building to crowd their
way into the aisles which were INSULT
ciently guarded by half a dozen police
men.

substitute bank notes, and II you have
bank notes is not the bank authorized to
redeem that note in any kind of legal
tender?
II have heard some people say that we
cannot maintain the parity between
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to
byfree coinage and when asked how they
know, they swell up with Importance
and tell you because Mexico has tried it
and failed.
When you remember that in CONNER
cial strength we are many times greater
and greater in area, / think You will
agree with me that this nation is able to
do what Mexico would find it impossible
to accomplish: We believe that with
70,0000O0 of people, the most productive
people in the world, people consuming
more per capita than any others in the
world, with railroad development un-
paralleled anywhere else, / believe that
this country could take and utilize in its
commerce more silver than can possi-
ly come here under the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at 16 to 1. (Ap-
plause.)
At this juncture some one shouted:
"How about the TARIFF"
Mr.. Bryan insisted that the tariff was
not an issue until the financial question
could be settled and provoked great ap-
plause when he asked: why not sub
nit the tariff to international agree
ment, along with the money question?
Mr.. Bryan told his audience that he
knew that he and some of his supporters
were called anarchists and said he had
come among them to show them what
the men whom they called the leading
anarchist looked like, before they voted
for him. He was willing to admit that
his idea of government was very diff
ferent from the ideas of thoke who
called him an anarchist.
Instead of telling you the Creator
made great many to toll and a few to
ride on the backs of those who toll" he
said, Il come to renew your faith in
the declaration of independence, that
declares that all men are created equal;
that no government shall either enable
or permit one citizen to injure another"
In conclusion, Mr. Bryan asserted that
he did not come to ask for their votes.
he simply asked them to read the DEM
ocratic platform, study the issues of the
campaign, and to vote as their judgment
told them was best to serve their coun-
try, to secure their rights and protect
their families.
Long and continued applause and
cheering followed.
