BARK OF A BARKER.
An Editor Who Would Like to- Take
the Place of SevvaIi and Watson.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 1.-The Ameri-
can OF this week will print an editorial
under the caption. "Sewall or Watson
Which, or Neither?' in which it calls on
both those gentlemen, in the interest of the
election of Bryan, to withdraw in order
that Chairman Jones may name a candi-
date who will be acceptable TO all inter
ests. Mr.. Barker writes:
Bryan is acceptable 10 all. But Sewall
is not. Neither is Watson. We impugn
neither the Americanism of Mr.. Sewan nor
of Mr.. Watson, but neither is recognized
by all parties as the man for the crisis.
Mr.. Sewall is not acceptable to the Popu-
lists. The Democrats will not take Mr..
Watson. What, then are We to do? We
answer: Take them both down. Put up a
candidate acceptable to all Americans.
Such Il man can certainly be found. Who
that man is Is not for us to say. 1t is not
for Democrats or PGpulists or bimetallic
Republicans. The man for the place must
not be the candidate OF any party; he must
be the candidate of all. 1t is for the trusted
leaders of our wage-earning classes. in
unison with the leaders of the Democratic
and Popufist parties and of the bimetallic
Republicans, TO say who that man shall be.
there is yet time TO take down both Messrs.
SrwaIi and Watson and put up IL new man
who Will stand Tor all Americans. II this

AT Parkersburg the people from the sur
rounding towns had gathered in force to
see the P~opocratic nominee. Mr.. Bryan
was escorted to a grove, where he made a
characteristic speech, In the course of
which he said:
h value of a dollar may be increased
by legislation. If you want money dear
you can make it dear by making 1t scarce.
1T you want money to keep pace with pros
perity, 1T you want average prices to be
maintained, you can maintain them only
by increasing the amount of money as rap
iGiy as the demand for money increases.
Inere are those who do not want more
money brought into the country, and if
they nave control of legislation they Will
or money. They want less money because
these money owners profit by a rising dol
lar. Suppose that IA man has sl00. 600 in
vested IN 4 per cent. bonds running for
thirty years and draws 81, 600 every three
months. Now, if in value the dollar rises
and doubles it means that prices fall one
: half and that thereafter when he receives
s., 900 every quarter he can buy twice as
much with that 81, 600 as he could before.
1t is virtually doubling the interest which
he receives. IT IS virtually, doubling the
value of the bonds which the holder has.
Are you. surprised that such a man may
be unable to understand how there is any
suffering in the country. Why, you say to
him, times are hard. oh, no. he says,
times are not hard. Times were never bet

The trip from Parkersburg to Wheeling
was resumed at 4:45 p. m. on board the
special car of the Governor of West Vir-
ginia. AT New Martinsville a reception
committee met the party and escorted Mr..
Bryan to Wheeling. AT Sistersville, dubbed
about these parts the "only town on

asking them to make their silver speech on
election day. AT 7:30 the party arrived in
Wheeling.

WHEELING. w. Va, Oct. 1.-Wm. J.
Bryan spent another day in West Virginia
telling the people that If they would be
saved from the mythical gold lions jaw
they must Nsh into the embrace of the
merciless silver dragon. The tenor of his
speeches to-day was the same as on pre-
vious days for the past month. He de-
nounced employers of labor and capitalists
as mercenary and ever ready to take adj
vantage of the laborer and the creditor,
and said they favored the gold standard
because 1T was the money of the piutocrats.
He predicted great prosperity for the work
ing people if free silver should win-money
would be ~plenty-but he didn't tell how the
toilers could get It more easily thar now,
nor did he tell them If the country went to
a silver basis each dollar they earned would
have just half the purchasing power it has
now; that in reality their wages would be
cut in two.
The demonstration here tonight was
large, but many Republicans were in the
throng, and they were not silent. Free
quently they could be heard cheering for
Mckinley, and at some points along the
route of the parade the cheers for the Re-
publican nominee drowned all other noise.
Hundreds of wctkingnen were on the
streets wearing yellow badges in their hats.
and while they showed no discourtesy to
the Popocratic candidate, they vented their
enthusiasm for the Canton statesman.
Mr.. Bryan, who has displayed considera-
Bile amateur detective ability on his tour,
having several times pointed out pickpock-
cts, came near being held as q. witness in a

nominees train were arrested at the in
stance of the reporters. The alleged pick
pockets demanded that a subpoena be is
sued for Mr.. Bryan to appear as a witness

until nearly 5 o'clock this morning the
magistrate refused to comply with their re-
quest, and Mr.. Bryan was not held.
