A CAMPAIGN FUND.

The Republican National Commit
tee, with Boss Hanna at its head, is
raising an immense campaign fund
which will be employed in all the
doubtful States to carry them for
Mckinley the candidate of the
trusts, monopolies and protection
plutoerats. 1t is estimated that
the Republican National Committee
will have IS, 900, 900 at its disposal.
while the assets of the Democratic
National Committee viii be less
than 81 900, 600 Bryan, the Demo
cratic nominee, is a poor man, and
so is Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. There are no
rich trusts or corporations on the
side of the Democratic National
ticket this year. All of the trusts,
monopolies and protectionists are
arrayed on the side of Mckinley.
Therefore, it is not apparent how
the National Democratic Committee
can raise the funds necessary to
meet its legitimate expenses. That
it is in sore straits, in financial
way, no one can deny. c If Chairman
Jones has any money at his disposal
during the campaign it will have to
be contributed in small sums by the
people. The issue has been defined
as one between the people and plu-
tooracy, Plutocracy always has
wealth at its command, and Boss
Hanna and his hirelings are using
it in unlimited quantities. In the
meantime, however, the National
Democratic Committees struggling
to meet its operating expenses.
Therefore, the people, who are so
vitality interested in the issue which
confronts them, should see to it that
their National committee does not
ge . begging With that end in
view every Democratic Club
throughout the country should take
up collection from the dimes and
dollars of the people and forward it
To the National Committee. The
Pine Bluff Bryan and Sewall Club
took the initiative in that matter at
its meeting last night by the APP
pointment of committee to solicit
subscriptions and donations for
this purpose, and it is earnestly to
be hoped that when the committee
calls that those interested in the
cause of Democracy and the people
will heartily respond.

MADISON Square garden, New
York, was crowded almost to suf-
location last night to witness the

for President and e-President Of
the United States, respectively, by
the National Democratic party.
The notification speech was made by
Gov. Stone, Of Missouri, and Mr.
Bryans speech of acceptance was
anQable exposition of the Chicago
platform and a marvel of eloquenee.

COMMENT ON BRYAN's SPEECH.
The Westminster Gazettee Expresses Its
Opinion of 1t.

The Westminster Gazettee Expresses Its
Opinion of It
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE West Minister
Gazette, in its financial article, refers to
the speech made at Madison Square gar
den, New York, by w J. Bryan, and
says:
Mr.. Bryan's speech will certainly
not increase confidence III the minds of
investors. 1t is replete with financial
heresys and will cause investors every
where to desire to withdraw their money
from the United States while they are
able to obtain gold in payment for debts.
Should the free silver party be elected
gold will undoubtedly be driven out of
circulation and substantial premium
be demanded by those possessing it. We
do not believe individual Americans
will take advantage of the political dis
honesty proposed by the Democratic
convention whereby even existing con-
tracts calling for payment in gold will
not be valid when free coinage is car
ried.
"It is, however, certain that railroads
owning large amounts of gold debts
would with premium on gold be I'M
able to meet the interest obligations
temporarily at any rate and be forced to
pay some of their debts in currency or
become bankrupt The fear of such con-
tingency renders it extremely difficult
to sell any but the highest class of
American securities at the present time.
Still the Eastern electors appreciate the
dangers ahead and will support can
didates pledged to maintain the gold
standard otherwise we are likely to
witness a crisis of unequalled severity"

prevail of the speech.

MADRID, Aug. 14.-With reference to
lhe prolonged interview at San sebasti-
an between the Duke of Tetuan, Span
ish minister of foreign affairs, and Mr..
Hannis Taylor, the United States min
ister to Spain, which has given rise to
SO much comment in the press, The
Nacional, Senior Ganovas' organ, states
that the interview is probably related to
the memorandum addressed by the gov
eminent One thing is certain, how
ever, that the interview was most cor
dial, and in thorough accord with the
friendly relations existing between the
two governments.
The article adds that the object of the
memorandum was to place the true con-
dition of the affairs of Cuba before the
other powers in view of the dispatch of
additional troops, and it does ample
justice to the incontestable rectitude of
President Cleveland and of Mr. Olney.
Naturally the Spanish government did
not omit to refer to the circumstances so
notorious as the help and sympathy
vouchsafed to the rebels by American
citizens. However, the proclamation
of President Cleveland condemning and
reproying the violation of the neutrality
Of the country is hoped to have the de-
sired effect.
Senior Ganovas, when seen, confirmed
the statements concerning theinteryiew
between Mr.. Taylor and the Duke Of

A Voice from Maine.

1t was thought that Vermont's republi-
can victory was magnificent, but Maine has
shown herself star of greater magnitude.
Not usually giving as large republican
majority as Vermont, she has this year gone
her 10000 votes better.
Speaking of the significance of this VIC
tory the Springfield Republican says:
This. like the Vermont election, exhib-
its nothing less than political revolution.
1t shows again that the republican ranks in
the northeast are impenetrable to the silver
attack, while thousands Of democrats have
been driven from their party into the camp
of their old enemy or into the woods. But
the result is still more emphatic in its YER
dict for honest money and against the Chi
cago platform than was even the Vermont
result. Maine, unlike Vermont, has long
been infected with soft-money ideas. So
far is this true that in the state election OF
1880, when the country at large was
strongly republican, Maine was carried by
a greenback and democratic fusion. Maine,
also, unlike Vermont, has in later years
been touched by the populist movement.
1t cast populist vote Of 2SSS in the state
election of 1892, and 1921 in the state
election of two years ago. The news will
carry new hope and encouragement to the
Bryan opposition throughout the country,
and Encouragement if not despair to the
free silver army.
