United Press reporter last evening. When
asked for his views on the financial

hold that this would be the case. The
circulating medium is not the amount of
money but the credits. In this respect
confidence in one another aids in ex-

WANT HOBART IN VERMONT

BURLINGTON, VT, July A. 1S96.-A
party of gentlemen visited Hotel Champ
lain. N. Y, last evening and rendered to
Hon. Garret A. Hobart an invitation to
visit Burlington and attend a reception
by the >Republican Club He responded
favorably to the invitation and promised
to come if possible. In conversation with
various Republicans. Mr.. Hobart freely
discussed the political situation. He spoke
of the revolt of Mr.. McDermott of his
own State, who was member of the
Committee on Resolutions at the Chicago
Convention. and who said on his return
in reply to question as to where he had
been:-'I have not been to Democratic
Convention; have been in blamed
mob.''
There were hundreds of Democrats in
New Jersey, said Mr.. Hobart, who sym
pathized with Mr. McDerrpott, and if the
election were TO be held today, the Re-
publicans would carry the State by an
overwhelming majority Mr.. Hobart said
he had also received assurance of sup
port of the Republican ticket from many
Democrats in New York. He had no hard
words for Democratic friends. he said,
and he was plainly anxious al least for
the maintenance of the national credit
and financial soundness as well as for the
welfare of American industries and the
promotion of prosperity.

USED HIS KNIFE FREELY
Fahey Stabs His Brother-in-
Law and a Would Be
Peaeemaker.

Policeman NcDonough, of the Fifth
precinct, was startled at about eleven
o'clock last night by the cries of 'raur-
der' and police on Walker avenue.
Running to the place whence the cries
came, he found Patrick Hanley, of Walker
| avenue and Van Cleef street, lying on the
sidewalk in front of his saloon, bleeding
profusely and his clothes soaked with
blood Hanley was very weak from loss
OF blood, and was hardly able to speak.

100 o'clock and asked for drink Ham

Hanley, and refused, and became more

a painful wound.
The Fifth precinct patrol wagon was
summoned and arrived a few minutes
later. Fahey ran away when he saw
the policeman coming. but was later
found concealed at his home, No. q
Cedar avenue.
Hanley's wife screamed and yelled
when she saw that her husband was in
jured and would not allow him to be
taken FROM the place. DR. HoAister
was then summoned, but was rather late
IL arriving as he was also summoned to
the police station to dress Faheys $
wounded head. He found Hanley to be
exceedingly weak from loss of blood
but said the stab wounds were not very

He found three stab wounds, two
vicious looking ones on the left shoulder
and one on the back Of the left arm
Luckily the shoulder blade warded off
the knife and that wound was not so
dangerous.
After dressing Fahey's wounds DR..
Holsster said that it would be best to
send Fahey to the hospital and he was
taken there by the patrol wagon.
The nature of the cause of the quar-
rel is not known. 1t is said that Fahev

of terms and that they had a heated
argument the night before Mrs. Fahey

HARRITY IS ALL RIGHT.

PHILADELPHIA, July a. 1S96.-when
seen at his office, this morning, Mr.. W.
f. Harrity was not disposed to discuss
the political situation and declined to ex-
press himself as to platform or candi-
dates. Mr.. Harrfty, however, did make
the following statement
Since my return to Philadelphia my
attention has been called to report sent
out from Chicago during the convention
week to the effect that l had declared
that i am a Democfat and after that /
am a sound money man.
There is no foundation whatever for
such a statement. 1t is pure invention,
and the editorials based on it, which ap-
peared in some of the Philadelphia Bos-
ton and New York newspapers, are both
unjust and unwarranted.
Il am a Democrat and a sound money
man, too" continued Mr.. Harrity mot
afterwards but at the same time. And
shall do nothing whatever during the
coming campaign that can properly be re-
garded as a surrender of my convictions
upon the currency question or upon any
other vital question:

The Aldermen met in the City Clerk

But were it certain that great disasters

there can be no doubt hut that a Demo-

larger number of votes from Bryan than
would without such candidate vote for

In giving full attention to this very
important crisis and the duty Of the
citizen, it must not be forgotten that
hundreds of thousands of Democrats in
the East, and also many thousands of
Republicans in the West. have a most
sincere dread of McKinleyism and all
the wild extravagances that follow in it's
train. Multitudes, too will remember
the doings and unpatriotic resistance of
the Republicans Of the present House of
Representatives and Senate to all Just
demands for legislative aid in obtaining
relief from financial distress. When
called upon ito perform the simplest acts
OF craftsmanship, they stubbornly re-
fused.
Democrats must resist and scatter the
increasing hosts of repudiationists To
undertake this, in the most patriotic and
earnest spirit, is their first great duty.
The obligations of the leaders to the vot-
ers are as strong as the case Is urgent
These obligations can only be discharged
