Kentucky tour Senator Blackburn said :
Measured from any standpoint it was
infinitely above anything had expect
ed or hoped for. may have thought it
possible to beat Bryan in Kentucky, but
| know that there is not power enough
on earth to beat the people who are be-
hind him in this State" Mr.. Bryan said :
every where through Kentucky have
been made happy by the demonstrations
Of your people, and want to say that l
never have seen and never expect to see
again what greeted me at Lexington, es-
pecially that procession which cut my
speech in two and which constituted a
better speech than 1 could make"

1T has been repeatedly asserted that
Senator Teller is large silver mine own
er, and that is why he is an advocate Of
equal coinage. Those who differ with
Senator Teller, as well as those who agree
with him, testify to his honesty OF char
acter and purpose, and any personal
statement he may make will not be
doubted by those who know him. He
states emphatically that he has not a
dollar invested in silver mining, but that
his capital is invested in gold mines.

Misrepresentation employed by the gold

The silver strength of Breckenridge,
Ohio, Grayson, Meade and Hardin coun-
ties is practically solid for Murray and
favorable reports are coming in from
Bulitt, Nelson and other counties in the
district. There is no doubt but that the
Fourth Congressional district is for sill
yer by an overwhelming majority, and
the people are not going to he hogged
out OF candidate on whom they can de-
pend with implicit faith. The time is
passed in this country when the will Of
the people can be trampled upon with
impunity, and no longer can hook,
crook, trickery or chicanery divert them
from the cause Of the right, or force upon
them offensive candidates, with whom
they have no sympathy in common. Mr..
Murray, like a valiant knight, has fought
for the cause OF silver since its demoniti-
zition in 1873, and has never lost an OPP
portunity to defend its rights in both
private and public. The cause of silver
is the cause of the people. This the
people know, and they are for Murray
for Congress.

An incident occurred this morning
which quickly indicated the character of
the State militia. As Colonel Hogle. Nho
was attacked with pleurisy last night on
the train, was being escorted to the
Vendome Hotel early this morning by
Trumpeter Charles Lendhon of the First
Regiment a striker insolently sought to
pick fight, calling Lendhon name and
sneering at him. The trumpeter waited
until the colonel was in the hotel and
then chased the striker with his musket
down the street.
The City Council held a special session
this afternoon and. inspired by the
changed situation, took a decisive stand
to suppress lawlessness hereafter. A
large number of prominent citizens will
be sworn in and they will be officially in
structed to hunt out all tramps and idle
men of no value to the community and
drive them from town. In this course
the militia will be asked to assist.
The City Council has located several
saloons and boarding-houses where arms
and ammunition have been cached, and it
has been decided to make a clean sweep
of both the lawless element and their
arsenals.
The Emmett mine will be Immediately
started up, and the Bison and Little
Johnny will soon follow. This will test
the situation and fully settle whether the
union will continue to destroy property
and endanger lives with dynamite.

No Chances Taken During the
Approach to the Scene Of
Trouble.
LAWLEssNEss TO BE PROMPTLY
SUPPRESSED.
Citizens Sworn In to Assist the Troops
in Driving Out All Tough
Characters.

LEADVILLE, CoLo., Sept. 22-In spite
of the continued manufacture OF rumors,
the camp remains remarkably quiet. The
militia are here and in camp in the base
bail park near the Denver and Rio Grande
depot, while details continue to guard the
threatened points of attack.
No disturbances occurred during the
day. The absence of the president and
secretary of the miners union is still
noted and commented ON, and the former
boastings of the strikers as to what they
would do when the militia should come to
Leadville are no longer heard. The senti-
ment of the camp has found voice in favor
of law and order, and the reputable
citizens are now no longer afraid to express
their opinions. There is consequently a
feeling of safety in the city.
The delay of the special train bearing
the First Regiment from Denver, with
guns, cavalry horses and supplies, last
night, was due to extreme caution exer-
cised by the officers and the railway COM
pany. 1t appears that at every station
where the train stopped wild rumors were
repeated, and the approach to Leadviile
was made with the greatest precaution.
A fat car in front of the forward engine
contained a detail of artillerymen and
three gatling guns, which were trained
ahead and on each sid Following the
engine was caSoose loaded with sharp
shooters.
Between Malta and Leadville, distance
OF six miles, occurs a hlly country covered
with spruce trees, Offering excellent refuge
tor rihemen, who could pick with COM
parative safety the heads in the moving
train below. General Brooks had received
word that trouble was TO be looked for at
this point. The train was brought to a
standstill and three companies of infan-
try under command of Major Verdeckberg
marched through the cut deploying skirm-
ishers across the horseshoe and approach
ing rapidly the city.
At 8 o'clock the three com panies, in lines
Of four, marched through the streets to the
Rio Grande depot, whore they waited until
the appearance of specials. The men to
the total number of $50 slept in the cars all
night A detail of guards was thrown out
and a picket line encircled the track for
several hundred yards.
The presence of 900 weIl-drilled militia
men with gatling guns and troop of
cavalry has had most salutory effect both
upon the miners and the timid citizens.

evening for Grand Rapids to continue his

Senator Shoup returned to Idaho tonight
to continue his work for the Republican
National ticket, and incidentally to be on
hand when the second State convention
OF the silver Republicans is held next Sat-

that new convention has been called by
Dubois. / think the boilers will substi-
tute the fusion nominees for their own
on the State ticket, and if they do that /
claim the supporters of Mckinley and the

to call themselves Republicans"
W. S. Haggard of Lafayette, Ind, the
Republican nominee for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor of Indiana, dropped in from stump
ing tour. In the ninety-two counties of
Indiana. Mr. Haggard said. there were
only twenty-five which would give
Democratic plurality, and in each of them
there would be Republican gains.

cRAzED BY LONG WATCHING.
John Daniels, a Wealthy 0kIahoman, Kills
Himself in the Presence of His
Afflicted Wife.

KANSAS CITY, No.. Sept 22.-John
Daniels, the richest man in Guthrie. O. T.,
committed suicide tonight by shooting
himself in the presence of his wife. Dam
lels went to Guthrie from Lincoln, Nepr.,
four years ago. He was worth several
hundred thousand dollars. His affairs
were in excellent condition and his do
mestic life was happy. During the past
summer his wife has been very i'll with
typhoid fever. Two weeks ago his son
was stricken with the same disease and
for several days Mr.. Daniels has been
threatened with the fever. 1t is supposed
that mental arrangement from long
watching and approaching illness is re-
sponsible for the suicide. Both Mrs. Dam
iels and the son are now very low.
