stepped to the front to introduce Mr..
Bryan tremendous roar went up from
the crowd. When Mr.. Bryan finished
there was great demonstration. Those
who had listened to him with close at
tention crowded about the stand to
shake his hand. When he was finally
rescued from their struggles the crowd
sent up three cheers and the candidate
/, was driven to Mr.. Sewalrs home for a
day of rest.
| Mr.. Sewall said in introducing Mr..
Bryan: II have brought the great leader
Of Democracy to the greatest meeting
ever held in Maine"
After few compliments to Mr. Sew
| all, Mr.. Bryan went directly into his
argument. He proceeded with argu-
ments upon the science of money, in the
course Of which a man in the audience
said: "If you buy silver at the present
price. how much can you get it made
into money for under free coinage?"
Mr.. Bryan-Under the present law
you could not have 1t coined at all.
but under the free coinage of silver you
cannot find a man fool enough to sell
you silver at less than the coinage price.
A voice-But the government stands
back of 1t.
MIR. Bryan-The treasury would not
back silver any more than it backs gold.
That Is the gold standard idea that you
have got to back something. Bimetal-
lism gives you q . monies which back
themselves. Our opponents talk about
flood of silver. We have the unlimit-
ed coinage of gold now, and we are not
flooded with gold to any great extent
Suppose a free coinage law is in exist
ence, and suppose some foreigner who
did not like us We're to come here to
hurt us with his silver, how could he
do it? He could bring enough silver
bullion to have thousand dollars coin
ed; the government would take the bull
lion and stamp it and hand the dollars
back to him. How would he hurt us?
1 know what you will say-that he will
take his silver and change it for gold,
and take it away. Will he? Where will
he get the gold? Go to the treasury
and get It? Not under bimetallism. The
government does not engage to swap
dollars. What else could he do? Trade
silver dollars for something else-soms-
thing We have to sail Observation-Disclosures.

sNowDEN IN TROUBLE.
Arrested in San Francisco for Felony
Embezzlement

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 26.-Robert
Snowden, who claims to be Journal
ist was arrested last night on war
rant charging him with felony embez-
element. The complaining witness IS
Mrs. Sarah B. Williams. middle-ageo
widow of Denver. She claims that
Snowden, who is % years old, induced
her to come to San Francisco on q
promise to marry her, and then ca1oled
her out of her jewelry and money and
disappeared. According to the woman's
onhsh sgo ft ana aanaesp naeef e bbrief
ance consented to marry him. He was
in hurry to get back to the coast at
the time. and she promised to join him
at any time he sent for her. In pursu-
ance of this agreement Mrs Williams
started for San Francisco, arriving here
in company with Snowden, who had
gone to Sacramento to meet her, on
August 10th. The young man took the
widow to the Palace hotel, where she
regis stored and procured a room. For
some reason or another her intended
husband put off the marriage from time
to time until he succeeded in borrowing
all her money and jewelry ON various
pretexts Then he disappeared. Mrs.
Williams waited patiently for him to
turn up, but after several days began to
realize that she had been defrauded,
and that she was running into debt at
a fashionable hotel with nothing in her
purse to warrant her stay.
Mrs. Williams waited until her bill
had reached $50, when the hotel man.
agement insisted on payment. The Wild
oW explained her position and was sent
away from the hotel, her baggage being
held for her bill. The woman was ut
terly penniless and was compelled to
seek shelter in charitable Institution.
Snowden says he met the woman in
Denver through newspaper personal.
(Snowden is well known in this city,
where he was for time employed on
the Evening Telegram, a sheet long
since dead, but which at that time was
run by Sackett Cornell. He was ex-
plotted in the newspapers at one time,
when he married Pasadena woman
ten years older than himself, for what
money she had. He met this woman
through newspaper advertisement
also.
He lived with her but few months
and then left her. going to San Fran
cisco. She afterwards secured a d.
vorce for desertion. In San Francisco
he was reputed to be the lover Of Mae
Devon, woman of the town, and the
one who betrayed Harms to the police
of that city. Harms, it will be remem-
bered, Is the man who found $5o,000
buried by stage robber Jack Brady in
the tules near Sacramento. Her life
while with Harms was gay one, but
she finally betrayed and deserted him.
Snowden lived with her for some time.
He afterward went to Denver, and only
lately went back to San Francisco. He
originally came from Baltimore, and is
a general all-around SPORTY

after the election as he does now-if q
dollar is only worth 80 cents, is is because
prices Of commodities are twice as high
and If the manufacturers can get twice
as many dollars for their goods as they
can for dollars now, why cannot he
pay his employees twice as much?
Mr.. Cloush-But he won't do it.
Mr. Bryan-Then you stop telling your
employees you are interested in them
just before election.
Mr.. Clough-I am merely stating the
facts.
Mr. Bryan-You are stating what are
the facts. The employers never pay any
more than they have to pay. 1t is only
before campaigns that he poses as a
philanthropist. and then tries to make
his employees vote his way. Our system
will make demand for labor which will
force them to do what they would not do
Of their own accord.
Mr.. Bryan then closed amid applause.
AT LAWRENCE.
LAWRENCE. Mass. Sept. 26.-An
elaborate banquet was rendered Mr..
Bryan at the Essex house by the Demo-

Magee introduced Mr. Bryan and Mr..
Sewall at the north side of the city hall.
The meeting was the largest of the day
and cheered Mr.. Bryan throughout his
speech. Mr.. Bryan made long speech
which was received enthusiastically.
He handled the issues In similar strain
as on similar occasions and at the close

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.

FLOUR-There Is no change to report in
the flour market in any respect. There
is no particular demand from milling quar-
ter and mills are now all in the market as
sellers. Orders are generally pretty well
cleaned up and buyers appear very indf-
ferent. They have noticed that wheat fu-
lures have not advanced as far as the MIL
lerS have advanced quotations. and insist
on lower values on flour. They fail to see
that cash wheat here has advanced more
than &c farther than have futures. and 1t
is the cost OF cash wheat on which the mills
must figure as the basis of flour prices
so that there may be and have been days
when futures have declined and cash
wheat has advanced. Today the cost price
OF patents is considerably above So and yet
buyers insist on getting it at around $3.50.
Sales are pretty well divided between for
eign and domestic buyers, and most mills
are we'll sold ahead on lower grades.
BRAN AND SHORTS-The market is
practically dead a mill which is in po-
sition to sell must accept price around
$60625 for bulk bran. Shorts can be had
in any quantity at $6 and middlings at
$7.50@7.75
BARLEY-Offerings of barley show no
Improvement either in quantity or quality
although the stock received at the present
time is showing somewhat better grades
than that marketed early in the crop year
Most of it has been at least cured in the
bins. rather than in the stacks. Values

privileges.
FEED AND MEAL-Trade in these ar
ticles has not begun to pick up yet. and
with an output somewhat larger than cur
rent demand would warrant, prices are
inclined to lie steady on a cost basis. The
mills are generally in a position to close
down rather than run at a loss. Notwlth-
standing the advance in corn Saturday,
the quotation is still on the basis of SO
for corn meal and cracked corn. Mixed
feed is quotable at $925@9.75. Granulated
meal. per barrel. in CLOTH is quoted at
$1.10M1.30. Bolted meal, $11O01.20.
HAY-A few cars of rather common
stock are coming in each day and slow
dull trade takes these offerings at low
prices. Retailers claim that consumers will
not pay fair price for good hay and as
consequence they will not handle 1t unless
they can get it on the basis of s6@6.5O for
q reasonable good quality of hav for retail
purposes. The cheapness of feed products
initiates against any chances for an adj
vance in hay.
CORN-Quite large deliveries on sales to
arrive have been made during the past few
days and are being made today. With this
corn at their disposal millers are not in
clined to pay the usual premium for spot
stuff over stock to arrive, consequently
both kinds are on the spot price basis,
which is unchanged from that in effect
during the latter part of last week. No.
yellow corn is quoted both on spot and
to arrive at 23c. No. 5 mixed 221ac. Some
cars of No. mixed corn are arriving very
much out of condition, having been poorly
cleaned and in some cases somewhat damp.
This corn is considered a good sale in
many cases at 22c.
OATS-The market for oats IS in an I'M
changed condition from that which ruled
during the latter part Of last week. There
is good demand for stock quotations,
which are usually bid. No. oats were
held early at 16Ac as a general thing but
some selling was done at 16c No ) oats
are quotabe at from Is to Ice according
to condition.
RYE-The market for rye appears to be
firm and the advance obtained late last
week appears to be sustained. Quotations
this morning were on the basis of bid
price of CSC for No. 2. both for spot and
to arrive.
