BRYAN AND THE ITALIANS.
Correspondence Relating to Cam
uainu Charges.

The enemies of Bryan, having circulated
in this city mischievous charges against
Mr. Bryan intended to put our italian
citizens against our nominee, State-Chair-
man j. Z. Ellyson has investigated the
said charges and found them baseless.
And, in substantiation of this statement,
we herewith append copies Of letters sent
Chairman Ellyson by the National Demo-
cratic Committee:
Omaha. Neb., September %, 1896.
Mr.. J. G. Johnson, National Democratic
Committee. Chicago, H.:
Dear Sir.-Answering your favor OF Sep
tomber 2lst, relating TO the charges IN
an Italian paper in Chicago that Mr..
Bryan had written several editorials,
criticising the Italian immigrants az a
class. | beg to say that Mr. Bryan did
not write those editorials, did not know
Of their being written. and probably never
even read them, as he was at the time
they were published absent from Omaha
upon a tour Of the Western States.
Moreover, / desire to state that, under
the arrangement by which Mr.. Bryan
became editor in chief of the World
Herald. 1t was specially stipulated that
he should be in control of the paper only
so far as it's political policy was con-
cerned upon national issues. He did not
become responsible for editorial matter
outside of his particular department. lie
did not even direct the course OF the
paper in local politics.
The editorials in question, upon the
question of italian immigrants, were
written by a member OF the STAFF. whose
duty It was 10 prepare editorials on mis-
cellaneous topics from time to time not
connected with national politics.
As above stated, Mr.. Bryan has nothing
whatever TO DO with the editorials in
question, and was not even in the State
at the time they appeared.
Yours truly.
G NJ. HITCHCOCK. President.

PHILADELPHIA. July 14.-Ca bles

the truth of the story Of the kllliog of
General Jose Maceo, brother of General
Autouio Maceo. the Cuban insurgeD'
leader From the cablegrams received
the killing of &aceo was nothing more
or less than cold-blooded murder. 1t
would further appear that race war
has broken out 10 the insurgent ranks
between the whites aud the blacks, and
that the shooting of Maceo is the first
Incident of this unfortunate conflict.
Siuce the arrival in Cuba of General
Calix.o Garcia be leader aud Maceo have
not been friendly. Maceo resented the
superior authority conferred upon Gar
cia by the Cuban juuea in New
York, aud Garcia has determined to
assert his superior rank. Wbeu the
last cargo from the 6libusteriog steamer
Bermuda was landed Jose Maceo seized
all arms and ammunition. Garcia pre-
tested against this cou6seatiou. When
the last cargo FROM the steamer Three
Friends was landed on the coast near
Jurago, Macec marched to the seaooard
with $50 men aud took possession Of the
arm. and ammunition He was am
bushed and shot to death by men whom
it is asserted we're from bis own army
The trouble between the blacks and
whites has been further accentuated by
the receus shooting by General Gomez

several subordipates for the alleged
shortage of S15, 900 or more in cattle

In the course Of his address he
says:
"rhe truth of it is that the only

eide is whether or not they will take
Mr.. Bryan, whom every gold bug in
the country has denounced as a Pop

No Bolt in New York.
The Gold Democrats Will
Confne Their Opposition
to Electing Sound Mon
ey Congressman.

New YORK, July l3.-The demo
cratic gold standard leaders have
not vet decided on the date and
place of the conference at which, 1t
is expected, manifesto will be is-
sued defining their attitude towards
the national ticket nominated at
Chicago William G. Whitney is
still at his country home on Long
Island and Senator Hill had not ar
rived in the city up to noon to-day
Carlos French, the Connecticut mem,
Der of the Democratic national COM
mittee, was at Murray Hill Hotel this
morning. but he said he was going
home today. He did not know just
when the conference would be held,
but he thought that it would not take
place before Wednesday. Mr. French
denied emphatically the report that
he declared in favor of nominating a
third national ticket He said he had
not committed himself one way or
the other and would not until the
gold standard men had conferred and
decided on some course.
One of the Tammany leaders said
to-day that the conference would
probably be held at Long Branch on
Wednesday, and that it would be at
tended by Democratic leaders from
New York and several other
States
From the talk of the Tammany
leaders and the followers of Hill
up the State it appesred to day that
the organized Democrats are gen
orally opposed to the nomination of
a third ticket Some of the Tam
many men talked of making cam
paigp for the Bryan ticket. Others
said they would vote as they pleased.
but none of them seemed to think
that it would be wise to name
a gold standard ticket. Hill and
Whitney are believed to be opposed
to bolt and the machine men, in
their talk, appear to be rejecting the
sentiment of these leaders.
According to statement made
this morning by friend of Mr.
Whitney the conference of New York
leaders is likely to result in deci-
sion TO ignore the nationa! ticket as
far as possible, and call on sound
money Democrats to help to elect
Congressman opposed to free silver
coinage and to join in the effort to
carry New York for the Democrat
ic State ticket. By refusing to bolt,
it is said. the State organization can
maintain its regularity and at the
same time work effectively against
Bryan and Sewall The organization
men seem to fear that bolt would
result in the establishment Of another
State organization. which would be
recognized as regular by the Demo
cratic national committee and make
great deal of trouble for the pres

Prof Walker in London.

LoSDoS, July 13.-At a meeting
of the Bime,allic League held here to
day an address was delivered by Prot
Francis A Walker, the American
political economist aud superintend-
ent of the census of the United
States in 1870 and 1880. Prot
Walker was cheered as he arose. and
was frequently interrupted by bursts
of applause He declared that no
gold monometallist party existed in
the United States, and that he would
stake his honor that if bimetallic
convention was proposed to the
United States by the principal sound
money men of Europe he Americans
would tumble head over heels in
welcoming the proposal. Senator
GRAY. Prot Walker said would find
very few men to join him in opposi,
ton to proposal for a common ratio
between gold and silver What the
silverites really desired, be continued,
was silver imitation. Widely separa-
ted from these men were the real
bimetallists of the United States.
Nothing, Prof Walker declared,
could be more unfounded than to say
that the Republican National Con
vention held in St Louis had pro
nounced in favor of gold monometal-
lism Mr. Mckinley, he said, had
never been gold monometallist; he
could not be one if he tried. He
lad always been uniformly blmeta|-
list. The maintenance Of a gold
standard in the United States was
not rendered whit less secure by
reason of anything that was done at
the Convention held in Chicago, but
despite much friendly advance from
this side of the ocean, the United
States were not going to pull other
peoples chestnuts out OF the lire,
and would remain devoted to the re-
habilitation of silver as money
metal and always ready to make
sacrifices to that end. The bonds OF
the United States, he added, would
continue to be paid in gold or its
equivalent, and the credit Of the
United States would continue to be
as high as it had ever been since she
had triumphantly vindicated her
nationality in the war of Secession:
Prof Walker was vociferously cheered
as he resumed his seat at the close OF
his address.
