TWAS A SILVER CROWD.

Paraded.

Shouted for Bryan While McKinleyites
Paraded.
New York. October 10.-The World cor
respondent at Chicago, writing to this
mornings edition of that paper on the
monster Mckinley parade at Chicago yes
terday, says:
The parade was original IN design, novel
in features and tremendous in effect. The
only ominous sign was the lack If en-
thusiasm OF the half million people who
filled the buildings and lined the streets.
The cheers on the sidewalks were for
Bryan.
At night the silver element came out
and what they lacked in numbers they
made up in enthusiasm. The sidewalks
were abla2e with encouragement The
spirit of Bryan was rampant There was a
continual ovation by spectators.
I'VE are with you, boys. ITS labor
against capital" were the SHOUTS.
4 conservative estimate OF the men in
line is 30 900, and it Is a fact that many
of them marched in both parades. They did
MALTA of the men in the day parade, but
they had three times the noise
The transparency which evoked the
greatest enthusiasm in the silver parade
was this
Hanna, if silver will cut the working
mems wages in two why are you opposed
to ito"
mo coercion for free people"
We are against trusts. we are against
bond syndicates, we are against government
by injunction
The silver parade occupied the streets
until midnight.

Virginia Factory Duplicates the Newark,
Ohio, Proposition.
Newark. Ohio, October 12.-Since the
publication OF the notice posted at the
Central City Stove works, Offering to the
employees 10 per cent wage increase in
case William Jennings Bryan is elected
president. the company has been over
whelmed with letters from the different
States. Many of these are simply inquiries
as to the truth of the report. A great many
congratulate the company upon its stand,
while several have begu3 correspondence
with a view TO placing orders for stoves.
From Chicago today came an order for
two carloads of stoves upon the strength
of this notice. The demand for the COM
pany's product has so increased that Presi-
dent Cunningham tonight advertised for
more workmen and will begin next week
to increase the foundry's capacity. To re-
ply personally to the many letters is i'm
possible, but Mr.. Cunningham will send
each correspondent a circular over his own
signature vouching for the truth OF the
story printed.
Many writer's have asked for replies to
their letters. saying If the published re-
ports be true they will not only vote for,
but work for Bryan.
The sentiment impressed by President
Cunningham that the success Of his bust
less depends upon the prosperity of Amer
lea and the prosperity of America upon the
restoration of silver is shared by other
business men as the following from today's
Cincinnati Enquirer indicates;
"Colburn, Va.-Seeing the generous OF.
fer of Mr.. Cunningham in your paper, :
have this to say: Being mill owner at
Higginsport, Ohio. and at Ceredo, w va,
and employing great number of men at
both places, / will say that If William
Jennings Bryan is elected president VIII
also advance the wages Of my employees 10
per cent. Until last May was strong
advocate OF the gold standard. but today
honestly believe it to be the best for the
country and the people to support Mr..
Bryan. Yours respectfully,
a. II. Millender."
President Cunningham went to Chicago
tonight on businss stimulated by the no.
tice In the meantime the letters are ar
| irving.
