Geo. Fred Williams at Nashua.

We don't want to call anybody com |
munist unless he deserves the name. We
do not know of anybody who is called
that on account of his position on the
silver question. but when a man is a
fairly honest man in some respects and
in others thief when he is Justly called
thief to say that he is so called on ac-
count of his honest qualities, or for Judas
to have said when called traitor, am
grossly wronged, | am charged with
treason because am one of the disciples,
is just as sensible as to say that some
members Of recent conventions are called
anarchists because of their position on
the silver question. They are called an
archists because they are such, and that
has no reference to the silver question.
Now our impression of this Williams is
| that he bears the same relation to poll
tics that Oscar Wilde once did to society;
his uppermost idea seems to be desire
for notoriety. He says he enjoys the

seems particularly pleased with the al
fusion of some paper to his assume
qualities. He alludes in his Nashua
speech to a man who in week or
months notice, without an opportunity
to hear the other side, going over there.
Did Mr.. Williams hear any other side
after he left for Chicago? Did he get any
b6 ght on Rs svSF bGqestiSn after he he
found out that the party was going
over to free silver and that whoever did
not go with it was left out in the cold.
When a man moves with the current
with no other apparent influence i'm.
peling him what seems to be in such
cases almost always is, and this is the
kind OF man who told the people OF
Nashua that in 1873 or thereabouts
Germany and the Latin union all stopped
the flow of silver, and now if this country
will open the flood gates and let all the
accumulation of those countries into our
mints to be coined at one hundred pei
cent profit in dollars that will be full

ositions are made it is not only legti
mate but profitable to discuss their

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Sept. 30.--The stock
movement to-day was irregular and
the volume of business was somewhat
lighter than on Tuesday. At intervals
during the afternoon the dealings were
marked by considerable animation
but the market lapsed into compare
tive dullness in the afternoon session.
There were but few influences of an inn
portant general bearing, aside from a
firmer market for sterling exchange
and more favorable attitude toward
our securities on the part of foreign
dealers. The local market opened
strong and higher with the volume
OF business large. Louisville d Nash
vile, Burlington Il st. Paul were
strong features in the railroads and
Leather, preferred, advanced a point,
to 60, ON continued reports of improve
ment in the market for sole leather
In the reaction the bears selected the
industrial group for special attack,
and, under free offerings of sugar,
Leather and Tobacco yielded Il point.
The market became dull at the low
level. although some of the specialties
BETRAYED marked strength.
Burlington was in brisk demand
and touched 20, the highest point
reached in this movement. Tobacco
was only fractionally affected by the
news of a further reduction in the
price of the company's product incl
dental to the fight with the plug manu-
facturers Around delivery hour re-
newed bear pressure caused a shading
in prices all around. The closing was
heavy at IRREGULAR fractional changes,
mainly declines. The heavy buying of
Reading bonds continues to attract
general attention. Sharp gains were
made at the outset, but the improve
ments were not retained. The general
market ruled firm, but otherwise fea-
tureless. The sales were $1,218,000.
Governments were quiet but firmer,
on dealings of $4,000.
