There has been organized here a gi-
gantic Bryan free silver club and
though not two weeks old it has 444
members and inside Of thirty days it
will surely reach the 1000 mark. Also
the Sixth ward silver club, not two
weeks old, has over 2OOmembers. The
West End silver club was formed last
Monday evening with about l65 mem
berS to start with. Tonight a silver
club will be formed in the Fifth ward
with prospects of over l25 to start with.
The entire city will be organized with
in thirty days. The silver sentiment
is very strong here and Bryan will
surely carry the city andcounty and, i
believe, the state. The Bryan free
silver club-which is the central or
ganizatiOn of the city-is nOn-partisan
and is composed Of members Of all par
ties. Col. Nathan Holloway is presi-
dent and Allen Cook is secretary. We
have rented elegant headquarters for
g public reading room and distribut
ing point. We have a large hall for
public meetings and discussions each
Friday evening.
A very large free silver club has
been formed at Alliance and 0snaburg,
Stark county same county as Canton),
and the central Bryan free silver club
of Canton proposes to take up the work
at once of organizing clubs all over the
county. Up to date the gOldbugs of
Canton have produced no argument in
support Of their cause except to call
the people ugly names.
When Bryan and party passed
through Canton last Monday the Bon
not Manufacturing Company ordered
their men not to stop work or step out
side the shop or look out the windows
when the Bryan train should arrive.
The Bryan reception was held within
forty yards Of the BOnnOt shops, and
in full view Of the same. When the
train arrived from eight to ten thou
sand people gathered at the station,
the band played, the crowd cheered,
and although the crowd was within
a few feet Of the shops the wage slaves
did not dare to lift their eyes from
their work for fear of a discharge,
1.-Two Of the most expert pattern max
ers In Ohio, one a Mckinley man and
the other a Bryan man, laid down
their tools and stepped outside to see
Bryan, who was speaking from fiat
car. One was discharged within an
hour with unfinished work on the
table, and the other with an uufnish.
ed job was discharged the next fore
noon. The secretary and treasurer,
II. H. Whiting. is aD uncompromising
goldbug, and Isaac Harter and Henry
W. Harter, brothers Of the late N.
D. Harter, incorporating goldbugs,
are the principal stockholders.
The men they discharged we're men
Of high character, expert workmeD,
but who are possessed Of high degree
Of independence, and do not like to be
treated like slaves or dogs. The actions
Of the company have been severely
denounced, and many people Of this
city declare they will advise every
body not to buy the Yost warm air
heater, which is manufactured by this
company. The company will lose
Thousands Of dollars by this wretched
exhibition Of goldbug intolerance.
