SILVER CLUBS.
THEY ARE FORMED IN M'AINLEY's

Composed Largely of PopuIists and
Democrats, and, 1t Is Safe to Pre-
sumo, Few Republicans Here
and There.

CANTON, O., Aug. pa dispatch is
being widely circulated in the western,
central and southern states which con-
tains an alleged letter from Canon pur-
porting to have been written in answer to
some one who asks if ii is true that Can
ton Democrats have formed large III an
silver club which contains many Re-
publican members. The letter in question
says:
1T is true we have in Canton a central
600 and three ward silver clubs with a
large membership, but just what it is l
am unable to say; and also in the other
wards there will also be organized silver
clubs. The central club has just been
organized; it has an eminent Republican
for president and four vice-preSidents,
one Democrat, one a. Republican, one
a Popuiist and one a Prohibitionist, and
the club includes large element of Re-
publicanS. Unless the tide turns Nc
kinley vii not carry his ward, nor his
even there is great probability of Nc
Kinley losing the state"
Tins letter, which has been given wide
currency, has caused more than 200 let
tiers TO be sent to the Republican COM
mittee here asking If the statements made
in it are true. Some of these letters
have come to Major Mckinley. Tonight
one of the leading Republicans of the
county Hon. Hiram Doll, made a state
Hent which is officially approved and
endorsed by the chairman of the Repub-
lican committee. Mr.. Doll says:
Fhe silver club in Canton is composed
of Populists and Den ocfats, and the

Mosby shows How Little He Has
Progressed.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-A special from
Washington says: Colonel John S.
Nosby, who achieved notoriety during
the civil war as one of the most dar-
ing rangers on the Confederate side,
and who was subsequently appointed
consul-general to China, by President
fgrant. has addressed an open letter 10
q virginia editor, who asked Mosby's
views on the political situation and
the policies represented by the two
presidential candidates in the country.
RimetaIlism, says he, by which is
meant tils- coinage and circulation Of
the two metals, in private account,
with full legal tender value-is dream
that can never be realized. To discard
a. policy merely because a great COM
rnercial nation was the first to adopt it,
would be as absurd as TO accept the
Rev. John Jasper's theory of the
solar system in preference to New
tons.
Il believe in monometanism, just as
/ believe in any other law Of nature
the revolution os the earth end the
motion Of the planets. For the same
reason that deprecated green'oacks
drove specie out of circulation. depre-
ciated silver with free coinage would
drive gold out of circulation.
1.-The silver craze is one of those
periodicaI epidemics that have passed
over the country. They always breed
demagogues. Men are still living who
can remember when people were run
mad over the Morus Multcaulis. and
everybody was going to get rich off
1siulberry leaves. Mulberry leaves are
e. surer foundation for fortune than
fat money!"

THE gentleman mentioned as presi-
dent, Colonel Holloway, was one OF the
most enthusiastic Mckinley men in the
city, and during the greatest joliflcation
meetings here after the St. Louis con-
Ventlon rode at the head Of each pro-
cession, escorting the various delegations
to Governor McKinley's house He was
an asDirant for chief marshal of the es-
cort club, but failed of election. Imme-
diately after that he turned over to the
opposition. The silver club at its or
ganizaton was only claimed 10 have
mem beTs5lip of 200 TO $50 upon the state
ments of its officials to the press asso-
citation. When it is remembered that
Stark county has a. population of nearly
100 900 and this city nearly 10000, the mag
nirude of the club does not appear very
great comparatively speaking. a sound
money non-partisan railroad club in
this city, composed largely of Democrats
as we'll as Republicans, signed 300 men,
bers the night of organization. The same
night the Mckinley marching club was
organized with 1000 members. A poll OF

UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y, Aug. q.
The Bryan and Sewall campaign will
be opened in earnest tomorrow at Tiv-
oil this county, by Mr.. Bryan.
With the exception of his Madison
Square address, the speech he will de-
liver, it is said, will be the most i'm
portant of his utterances since his
nomination. For the first time he will
deal directly with the issues of the
campaign. The meeting has been large
~ advertised and big crowd is ex-
pected.
y, Nj. Bryan's visit to Major James w.
SH.nkley, chairman of the New York
state Democratic committee, will be
made on Monday AS to the import of
the meeting between Major Hinlzley
and himself, Mr.. Bryan is uncommu-
NEGATIVE.
II is likely that Mr.. Bryan will spend
Monday night at Winnisook lodge, in
the Catskiils, where Major Hinkley is
summering, and the two will have
every opportunity to discuss the situa-
ton in detail. Major Hinkley. while one
of the gold leaders at the Chicago con-
vention. has been non-commital since
Mr.. Bryan's nomination, and his invi-
tation to the candidate is looked on as
positive proof that he will support the
ticker. The significant part of Mr..
Bryan's visit to Winnisook lodge lies
in the belief that Major Hinkley is
.ageting for Senator Hill, and the claim
is made that it foreshadows the sena-
tors action at the Buffalo convention
a rumor was brought here today that
Senator Hill would attend the Bryan
meeting in Albany Tuesday night.
where the candidate will make a
speech, but it could not be confirmed
through Mr.. Bryan or any other
source.
A fshing fever took possession of Mr.
BRYAN again today. With Mr.. and
Mrs. Perrine, their daughter and some
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan drove out
to Spring lake, a couple of miles from
Upper Red Hook, to try their luck
with the rcd. Mr. and Mrs. BRYAN
rowed off to a secluded part Of the
lake. and while Mrs. Bryan fished, her
husband produced paper and pencil and
devoted himself to writing. Neither
he nor Mrs. Bryan would say what he
was composing, but everybody knew it
was his letter Of acceptance.
The party reached Upper Red Hook
at d. k, tired and hungry. MIR. Bryan
found Congressman William Sulzer
Sfom New York City awaiting him.
With Mr.. Sulzer was Professor Van
Buren, Dinslow. who formerly occupied
the chair of political economy at Chi
cago university, and is now a writer
on economics generally.
Mr.. Sulzer and Professor Dinslow
spent an hour at Mr.. Perrines house
with Mr.. Bryan.

CHICAGO, Aug. 81. = Chairman
Jones of the Democratic national COM
mittee was busy all day today receiv-
ing visitors from outside of Chicago,
most of whom wanted to get Mr.. Bry-
an to speak in their states, and home
talent was frequently offered in ex-
change, but the senator would make no
definite promises or fix dates until the
nominee arrives in Chicago on Sep

of the national committee was in OF
tumwa, Ia, today, but he wired Com

lies wounded in the Long Island hos
pital in Brooklyn, and who is believed
to be one of the men engaged in the
postoffice robbery at Bedford station,
New York, was identified this after
noon by Detective Sergeant McCauley
of this city as John Gilmore, alias John
Clare, alias George Price, one of the
most notorious postoffice burglars in
the country. The man came to the
hospital yesterday and was made a
prisoner when he could not satisfac-
torily explain how he received his
wounds.

Especial TO The Herald.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 21.-The
convention of the sound money" Dem
ocrats, of Mr. Bynum's'' convention,
as it is Familiarity known. ito be held at
Indianapolis on September 2, is begin
ming to attract some attention in Wash
ington.
Senator Planners interview, tele-
graphed from Springfield, expressing
the belief that the convention would
not put a new ticket in the field, but
would adjourn after adopting a plat
form, excited good deal of comment
today, and created considerable sur
prise. for il has been the general UNDER
standing that third ticket would be
nominated with a probability that
General Palmer would be the presiden-
tial nominee. The interview is calcu-
lated to discourage the
ADVOCATES OF A THIRD TICKET,
especially those who have been advo-
eating the nomination of Palmer. 1t is
suspected, by some shrewd politicians.
however, that General Palmer, in or
interest in the bolt of the gold men, is
playing the part of a Coy Maiden
who must be persuaded. 1t is generally
believed that President Cleveland ia
vors the nomination of a. third ticket
and that General Palmer is the man.
Singularly enough, and notwithstand-
ing the general impression that the In
dianapolis convention would seek to
nominate a western man for president,
the name of Bourke Cochran has been
conjured with since his speech at Madi-
son Square garden; but this talk was
only INDUCED in by the street corner
politicians, who did not appear to know
that
BOURKE IS AN ALIEN.
He was born in Ireland and, therefore,
is ineligible. One of the amusing sug-
gestions is Eckels, the comptroller, for
the third party nomination. He halls
from the right geographical section of
the country llinois-and is one of
President Cleveland's favorite sons.
Eckels has a glib sound money
tongue, and is regarded as a wonderful
stump speaker. 1t would, indeed, be a
strange spectacle, that of the two boy
orators" running for the presidency
This suggestion of Eckels' nomination
is of course, not to be taken seriously.
Though undoubtedly young man of
splendid character and ability, his
physical appearance, if nothing else,
would preclude his nomination. His
figure is certainly unimposing. almost
insignificant. He looks like a callow
youth of 20.

RUNNING A BLUFF.
A GoIdbus Who Says the Free Silver
Tide Is RecedinE.

Tide Is Receding.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21-It was a quiet day
at national Republican headquarters so
far as it related to news for the public
and distinguished visitors. National Com
mitteeman Hubbard came in from his
state, Minnesota, and reported the silver
tide receding before the avalanche of
gold literature, and the argument of able
speakers.
The colored Republican headquarters
was opened for business today. Prof
R. C. Creener, ex-secretary of the Grant
Memorial association, is one of the Off
Gals in charge. Their headquarters are
on the thirteenth floor of the Auditorium
building, and Prof. Greener smilingly
remarked today, by way of explanation
of the altitude of the office, that i'm
Fortunate colored gentlemen had been SO
numerous outside of Mr.. Hanna's office,
when the chairman came to town, that
the location of the bureau would draw
them away and break the fall.
The wheelmen's organization has also
been moved to the floor with the unlucky
number alongside the colored workers
in the cause and their isolation was var
iously commented on.

daily organization of railway mems

OR-GENERAL MILES.

He Is Preparing for a Trip West,
and VIII Decide What Posts Shall
Be Abandoned.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.-Major
General Miles is preparing for a trip
west with a view to deciding on which
posts should be abandoned. One will
probably be Fort Wingate, from which
post the garrison may be moved 10
Albuquerque. 1t has been recommend
ed that Washington barracks be
abandoned as an artillery post, which
will place four batteries to be disposed
of and enable the war department to
garrison Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook,
n. J., where 100000 is being spent on
barracks. Washington will then be-
come a cavalry post and the barracks
can be built on more suitable site for
half the estimated proceeds of a sale
of the site of the present barracks. For
the same reason the artillery will be
removed from Washington, D. c., the
garrisons OF Alcatraz Island and Fort
Mason will be replaced by infantry and
the barracks at Lime Point be prepared
for occupation.
