Cool Receptions mt Some Points,, but
a Big Demonstration at New
Orleans Last Night.
GOV. ALTGELD In GOTHAM
BY HENRY GEORGE AND
MARY "YELLIN'" LEASE.
Chairman Jones Invited to Georgia
to Adjust the Trouble with
POpuIist Watson. {

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 11-General Palm
er and General Buckner arrived here at
noon, after stopping along the gulf coast
in Mississippi to make brief speeches in
the various towns, which are all free-sll-
yer strongholds, and when they spoke an
unsympathetic crowd greeted them. AT
Scranton they were met by a party Of SIX
teen little white maidens and one bright
yellow-coiored tot and by banners bearing
the divice, Free silver and prosperity
General Palmer said there were many la
boring under the same erroneous belief.
Cutting the dollar in half would not bring
prosperity, nor would dangerous financial
experiments benefit the country. The re-
ception at other points was somewhat
friendlier. At Ocean Springs the train
stopped again, and speeches were in order.
The Generals here had little to say, but
what they said was to the point. Flowers
for the ladies of the party were handed
aboard by the ladies of the Springs.
A Mississippi sound-money delegation ac-
companied the party to this city. A recep-
ton committee awaited them here, and ac-
companied the party to the hotel, where a
reception was held in the afternoon. AT
night there was a mass meeting in the open
air on an deliberately decorated platform.
Five thousand people were present, and
Charles E. Claiborne, acting Mayor of the
city, presided. There were a large number
of BryaniteS in the crowd, as We'll as some
Mckinley shouters, but after the first ex-
preston of rival enthusiasm a few remarks
from Z. II. Farrar quteted them. General
Buckner spoke first, at his own request, IN
order to escape Gen. Palmer's f1attering in
PRODUCTION, which Buckner did not think
appropriate in his own South country. Cen
eral Buckner made d speech OF an hour,
showing that the So~und-money plank was
the true Democratic principle and fol-. the
best interests of the American people, ire
spective of section or party.
General Palmer closed the meeting with
a speech upon the money question, and
both made a good impression, although the
Illinois statesman could not be heard for
any great distance. The crowd asked him
a number Of questions and he answered
them readily. He said that the fact that
the Chicago platform was regularly adopt
ed was not sufficient for Democrats who
did not conscientiously believe in 1t to vote
for it, for the Democratic party was a par
ty of principles and not of men. The par
ty will leave here in the morning by special
train direct for Chicago.

ON BRYAN'S A
Prominent Gold Democrats VIII Prob
ably Follow the POpOcrat.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Vice Chairman Hop
kins, at Palmer and Buckne headquarters
received a letter frcm Euclid Martin, of
Nebraska, to-day, urging him to persuade
John p. Irish to visit that State and take
Bryan's trail when Bryan sets out for Lin
coin on the morning before. election for a
campaign tour of three hundred miles. The
letter says that Bryan's trip will wind up
with a night meeting at Omaha, and adds:
indications point to Nebraska's vote for
sound money. This tour on the I'd of No
vember will probably have some considera-
BILE effect in Bryan's favor, and we wish to
do what We can to, check it. Irish's pres
ence in the State on that day following the
same route as Bryan and speaking at the
same places would do a vast deal of good.
/ urge strongly or syou the great impor-
tance of this matter. and hope to hear from
you afhrmaIively at once"
Two kilograms were received from Mr..
Martin. The plans that have been made for
Mr.. Irish. however, can hardly be altered,
and some other speaker will have to be
secured. In view of the anxiety of the Ne
braska g~cld-standard leaders and their be-
lief tha. the State can be saved, 1t is prac-
tically ntled that General Palmer and
General @uckner will go to Omaha, and
possibly 10 Lincoln, Bryan's home.

master-general Wilson made his first speech
in the campaign here this afternoon. The
meeting was held in the courthouse. where
a large crowd had gathered to greet him
which was composed chiefly of Republic
ans, gold Democrats, ladies and negroes.
When he entered the court room he was
given a grand ovation, which lasted for sew
eral minutes. No one introduced Mr.. Will
son. When he arose to speak the crowd
cheered him loudly.
In his speech he made a strong appeal for
the gold standard and was cheered repeat-
edly in the course of his remarks. One of
the first things he said in his speech was
that ne was a Democrat and not a Popu-
list. He denounced the Chicago conven-
ton and the platform on which Mr.. BRYAN
was nominated, and said it was nothing
on earth but a Populist convention and a
Populfst platform, and that it was almost
an exact copy Of the Populist platform
of 1892. He said the convention was
run by Tillman and Altgeld. both

not for two Populists and four Democrats.

Asked to Contribute $4,000

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col, Oct. H.
The sixth day of the convention of the
international Typographical Union was
taken up principally in legislating in behalf
of the craft. The subject of providing for
the erection of a hospital in connection
with the Childs-Drexel Home for Old Print

the building of the hospital. which amount
is TO be contributed by the printers all over
the land as a popular subscription. The
amount is expected to be raised by Christ

argued. to allow a more equitable treat
ment of union men who may in the future
make application for work in the govern
ment printing Office. The policy of the

the flag of all the States. not of one State.
You love the old flag to-day, as warmly
as when you bled that it might still wave.

that flag.
