ALMOST 4 RIOT

Caused by the Silly and Reprehcnsible
Conduct of Two Militiamen.
CLEVELAND, O., Aug. s.-A riot was
narrowly averted at the corner of St
Clair and Lewis streets last evening.
That it was averted was due to the
GOODNESS and observation-disclosures of a
number of business men of that local
ity, together with the prompt appea r.
ance of Company f, Fifth regiment, O..
n. e., commanded by Capt. thinner
man.
QWhen the militia pickets were throws
out around the Brown Hosting Co g
works at 5 o'clock. two men were sta.
toned at this corner, members of Com.
pany l, Fifth regiment. Il dozen
children, boys and girls, were march
ing up and down the streets playing
soldier. None of them were over l.
years old. But this juvenile fun seemed
to exasperate the boys who carried the
real guns Without any warning they
charged bayonets on the defenseless
children, who scattered in all direc-
tions.
Hundreds of people were passing,
returning from work, and several ex.
postulated with the soldiers The
pickets then ordered every one off the
street. Edward Nicholas, who lives
a. II Beckett place, came down Lewis
street with his wife. He was ordered
off the street, and as he did not move
quick enough, was jabbed with ths.
bayonet. His wife demonstrated, and
was threatened with the steel and
compelled to flee.
Several other persons were prodded
into alacrity of movement, but the
crowd kept gathering, and threats
were freely made. ii. w. Lamart,
druggist, was chased out of his store
and DIR. A. d. Campbell, who was with
Mr.. Lamart. was compelled to take to
the side streets.
The arrival of Company f and tina
action of the business men in with
drawing indoors quieted affairs
greatly and in a short time the trouble
had disappeared, though this petty
action of the militia has caused iE-
tense bitterness against them on the
part of those who have heretofore
been Indifferent.

"coaI syndicate has started ont on reg

AS pool arbitrator for roads engaged

full opportunities to inform himself
intimately concerning the operation OF

these unnatural profits are extorted.
When he takes the field he win not be
able to find a topic in which the public
is more interested. nor win he find any
other way in which he can do his party
greater service than by convincing the
public that his own connection with

Truth and sterling Worth u William J.
Bryan.
"You come to us and tell us that the
great cities are in favor of the gold
standard. tell you that the great cit
les rest upon these. broad and fertile
prairies. Burn down your cities and
leave our farms, and your cities will
spring up again as if by magic. But de-
stroy our farms and the grass win grow
in the streets of every city in this coun-
try. My friends, we shall declare that
this nation is able to legislate for its
own people on every question without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation on earth.r
This is strong, true democratic doc
trine. When the democratic nominee
for the presidency, William Jennings
Bryan, uttered these words on the floor
of the convention hall in Chicago he
spoke not only for the great majority of
the democratic party, but also for the
great majority of the plain people of
this country. It is true that some years
ago these utterances would have been
distasteful to the people who now advo-
cate them, but this is essentially coun-
try Of progress. With the growth of
our great communities in the north,
cast, south and west have arisen new
conditions, and these conditions make
new issues; problems of which our
forefathers knew nothing rise 10 de-
mand our solution to-day.
In the vanguard of the leaders OF the
progress of this great republic are the
young men Of the west. And In al
that broad and fertile section no bet
ter democrat may be found than our
candidate for the highest office with

Of our republic has made that Office
the greatest in the world. The great

such men as William Jennings Bryan.

American citizen. He represents the
new era in the political history of this
country.
His personal character is high above
the reach of slander or reproach. In his
own state of Nebraska he is admired
and respected by men of all shades OF
political opinion. He is man of liberal
education, broad sympathies and intel

convinced of the righteousness OF his
cause, nothing can stop or stay him in
his fearless fight to the desired end.
Democracy has ever stood for The ex-

The choice of the Chicago convention is
the choice of the majority, and should,
therefore, receive the hearty support OF
every true democrat, regardless of petty
conditions, without consideration of
any sectional issue.
Whatever differences may have di-
vided the democratic party before the
public expression Of its will in open
convention should be forgotten now.
The old order changes, giving way to
the new. It is fitting it should be repre-
