WESTERN HAYSEEDS.
Is What New Workers Call All the
Silver People.

New York, July 15.-William J.
O'Brien. president of the Board of
Walking Delegates. which represents
about all the building trades in the
city. said in regard to the Chicago
platform and ticket: Il am a Demo-
crat, but am beginning to believe in
what Tim Sullivan said, that what
with the hayseeds in this state and
the hayseeds in the West we are not
in it at all. 1t looks to me as if there
might be three tickets in the field
Axal Nelson, the delegate of the
Carpenters and Joiners' Union, said:
I am a staunch protectionist, because
believe that it is the only thing that
can save the WOrkingn1en of this coun-
try from the disastrous effects of COM
petition with the cheap labor of the
Old World. I think Mckinley and
Hobart will be elected to a moral GER
tafnty."
Henry White, secretary of the
United Garment Workers of America,
has always been a Democrat, but he
declined to praise the work of the Chi
cagO convention.
Meyer Schoenfeld, leader of the East
Side tailors, is also the publisher of a
newspaper, THE Jewish Recorder"
He said that he had always belonged
to that class of people known in poll
ties as independents. L am a pro-
tectiOnist, however" he continued,
because I believe that protection is
better for the workingmen of this
country than free trade

Heads of Some Unions Declare for

plains itself:
Herman Robinson of the Brother

Daniel Harris, president State Branch

Everybody, except the representatives
of Wall street, corporations and syndi-
Gates, will vote for him.

union: Bryan is a good, hustling man,
and I shall vote for him. The free
silver doctrine is just what the working
man wants"
James Crotty, Amalgamated Society
of Plumbers and Gasfitters: Bryan
will get my vote. The platform as a
whole ought to unite every working
man in this country
Labor Leader Owen Carroll: Ct am a
Republican, but I am with Bryan heart
and soul. I am sure his platform is
right

"REMINISCENCES OF BRYAN.
Pitied the Present Presidential Nom
inee for Being Democrat.

Wichita, July 15.-Joseph H. Nc
Knight a business man OF this city,
was a schooImate of w ]. Bryan, DEM
ocratic nominee for president HeSTer-
day he said: I have at my house one
of Bryan's- visiting cards which he gave
to me when he first came TO Sehool. II
reads Willie Bryan, Salem, H. Bry-
an was always a leader in the school,
especially in the debating societies He
was far the best debater who attended
school,, and when sides were chosen he
was always the first choice. He TOOK
all the prizes offered at school and was
excellent scholarship. There was not
a more StudiouS scholar at the School
than Willie Bryan.
Il think he was about IL years old
when he first came to ehoOl, but on
account of his hard study, he took his
place among the larger scholars AL
most all the boys who went to school
were Republi caps, ana VIC used topity
could talk with any of us on politics.
and there was never a time that he
did not take care of himself. The peo-
pie used to say that if that boy could
get right politically he might obtain
some good position. That was the on
" thing against him, and outside of
politics he was a general favorite. He
was a farmers boy and I remember
that when his father died it made it
pretty hard for him to finish his edu-
cation, but he always said he was de-
termined to have an education if he
had to work all day and attend school
at night. He had the pluck, was de-
termined to win, and did win. His
wife was one of his greatest admirers
He became infatuated with his wife
at an early age and a couple whose
likes and dislilxes more nearly agreed,
never knew. 1 never knew Bryan to
smoke, chew or drink, and as to the
use of vulgar language, it was not used
by him under any circumstances.

Col Burgess Objects to Tying Up the

Councilman James Burgess, who is
chairman of the ways and means com

ing the lower dam ordinance, which is
once more before the city council
He came into the council chamber
yesterday putting and blowing and
asked to be shown the ordinance. He
was handed the document. He looked
at it moment and then threw it down
with disgust. Why, that is a contract
for power said he. I'VE don't want
to consider contract. We would not
take 500 horse power, and 1 am not in
favor of contracting for 100 or even
So We don't need it, and what is the
use of contracting for something we
can't use.
If these people will be content with
a franchise we may give it to them,
but they will get no contracts for power.
I don't care if they build a dozen dams.
but they must not expect the city to
help pay for them"

AFTER ARMOR PLATE.
Three of the BTikado's Men Visit the
Carnegie Works.


Miyaoka, Captain Sakurai and T. Ia
kahura arrived in Pittsburg in the
morning from San Francisco. They
have been visiting the Union Iron
Works of that place, and having seen

Takahura are naval constructors in
the Japanese navy. These two have
been sent to this country to study the
American navy and examine the grade
of work that is done upon the ships
made for war.
They admitted that they expected to
buy some war ships in this country
before long. They are to report to
their Government and offer advice as
to the best place to buy armor plate
and the best ship builders.

CRIPPLE CREEK TRADE.
The Stage Lines Handling the Bulk
of the Business

Cripple Creek July 15.-The railway
situation remains unchanged. The Mid
land cut rate by stage from Divide has
made little difference in the business
for the reason that the passengers who
wish to include a stage ride prefer to
go by way of Colorado Springs. While
the Midland has called in all of its
coaches from the terminal, the loss has
been supplied by the Santa F'e and
trains are running as usual
No freight is being hauled out of the
camp by the Terminal but there is
Most of this is through freight and
shippers are paying the advanced rate
on such goods. particularly if they be
Of a bulk character, in preference to
having them transferred from broad
gauge to narrow gauge cars. The

MILLIONS OF WORMS.
Ravaging MiIlet Stalks in Kentucky
Burn With Oil.

Lexington. July ia plague Of
army worms has been visited on the
farmers of Fayette county and last
night millions of the pest were being
destroyed ere they devoured the vege-
tation.
On the farm of J. Walter Rhodes, IN
the southern suburbs of Lexington. a
40 acre field of miIlet has been totally
work trying to check further damage.
A huge ditch has been dug around the
field. and as the millet stalks, already
stripped of grain and leaves by the
worms are cut with mowers the pests,
some measuring fully four inches,
hasten in thousands from the field,
they tumble in the ditch.
At first heavy logs were dragged over
them but finding this ineffective. Mr.
Rhodes procured several barrels OF coal
OIL turned it into the ditch, and the
worms are now being burned.

LONDON PRESS ADVICE.
Honest Democrats Advised to Sup
port Mckinley.

London, July Recommending on
the action of the Chicago convention
the standard says that the only alter
native for the honest money Democrats
is to rally to the support of Mckinley,
who now alone represents the forces
of hOeSty and fair financial dealing.
The paper assumes McKinley's election
and says it foresees that Great Britain
Will have to face downright CONNER
cial hostility. 1t concludes by saying
that the collapse of Democracy and the
triumph of McKinleyism will not glad
den the hearts of Englishmen.
The Daily News will say that Bryan
views are great nonsense; nevertheless,
he is a perfectly logical bimetallist.
Mckinley is almost certain to win now.
Anyhow, he is sound on the money
question, despite his rampant protec-
tiOnism.
The Times will say: ct will be
severe wrench for sound money Dem
Ocrats to bring themselves to vote for
a Republican. but there is a possibility
that they will come to that. The Chi
cago platform has put an end to party
allegiance

CATTLE WATER SCARCE.
The Round-ups in Colorado Called
OF

Denver. July 15.-'This is an off year
with US eattlemen in the southern part
of the state" said Secretary James c.
johnson of the state board of live stock
inspection, who came up from La Junta
yesterday to attend a meeting of the
board. We have been compelled to call
off the roUnd-ups on account of the
scarcity of water. This is something
that / have never seen or heard tell
of before and it seems to me almost
too remarkable to apprehend.
when the cowboys began rounding
up the stray herds it was noticed that
the water supply was not the same as
usual, but it was never once thought
that this would interfere with our
yearly gathering in OF the wandering
cattle.
This condition of affairs continued
Mr.. Johnson, lis due principally to the
lack of SHOWS in the mountains and
there being no summer rains. The
range was never in finer condition and
we owe this to the favorable wet win
ter, which gave a good start. Cattle
are looking fine and the market on
beef cattle seems to be fair. with a
prospect of remaining SO for some
time

essary to prevent for the future the
decentralization of any kind OF legal ten
der money. More than that, the plat
form declared that the government
should exercise the right to redeem its
coin obligations in either gold or
silver. The issue is drawn and we have
our choice in this campaign between
an American financial system for the
American people and an English finan-
ciaI system to be forced upon US Gap

Those who believe in running this
government on the European plan
should go and legislate with the Re
publican party Applause and laugh
teri If mistake not, the patriotism
of the people whose patriotism has
never been appealed to in vain, will
declare there can be but one issue in
this campaign, and but one result ZAP

I want to impress upon your minds
two things. want to ask two ques-
lions which ought to be asked over and

with increased emphasis and the two
questions are these: If the gold stand
ard is a good thing why ought we try
to get rid of it2 And, if it is a bad
thing, why should we keep it until
some other nation helps US to get rid
of it2" (Applause.)
There was tremendous applause

THE STATESMAN ANGRY.
An Austin, Texas, Paper Savage at
Bryan.

Austin, Tex, July 15.-The Austin
Statesman does not take kindly to the
nomination of Bryan, regarding him
as more of a Populist than a Democrat.
1t says:
Does the great old Democratic party
of this country intend to submit quietly
to such an outrage? Does the Demo-
cratic party intend to submit to have
its principles eradicated from the polit-
zeal arena of this country and its ban
ner trailed in the dust after the car of
Populistic and free silver hero2 We
do not believe it Will There IS life in
the old party yet. It's ranks are purt-
fed from the vulgar socialist from
South Carolina, Ben Tillman, as well
as from the violent anarchist of Hi
nOis, John P. Altgeld. It stands now
purified and united, awaiting the action
of its real leaders, David b Hill Of
New York and the sound money Demo-
Gratis of the country. 1t has a ire
mendous responsibility upon it."
Hill and Gordon are suggested as a
good ticket.
