the widest demonstration of the even
ing. The cheering continued until the
chairman Of the meeting was compelled
to ask the audience TO give the general a
respectful hearing.
All the conclusion of General Buckners
speech Colonel John R. Fellows was in
troduced.
That silver dollars and paper dollars of
this government today were equal to gold,
he said, was due to the method of the
government by which they were eX-
changeable for gold and that the govern
ment kept enough reserve to make its
credit good before all the world for the
redemption of its promise that it will pay
its debts in gold What if that function
should be destroyed? oh" says Mr..
Bryan, Il believe if you would give US
free and unlimited coinage 1t the ratio of
10 TO the demand for silver by this new
issue you have given it would raise it at
that ratio to a level with gold 1t would
be worth s1.29 an ounce" Well, we
simply say but suppose it should not, Mr..
Bryan, what then? Suppose the COM
mercial world refuse to accept il at that
value. Have you ever stopped to think
what an awful calamity would be pre-
clpltated upon this country. If that single
belief of Mr.. Bryan in behalf of which
he challenges the votes of his countrymen
should not be realized as fact, not one
hour would your gold remain as a circu-
latlng medium in this country.
General Buckner and Colonel Fellows
left at lilo p. m. for Louisville.

more than forty huts, occupied by en-

houses were looted

FAULKNER
SCORES CARLISLE
Believes That the Recent Letter.
Will Make Thousands of Silver
Votes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-"It is
the most astounding proposition I
have yet heard advanced by any
man, and 1t will make US thousands
of votes"
Such was the exclamation of
Chairman Faulkner of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee this
morning after reading Carlisle's let
ter.
''The sting to this letter is con-
cealed in tine midst of a lot of YER
biage, but it comes boldly to the
front on careful reading" contin-
ued Senator Faulkner. In view of
the secretary's letter to me and his
previous statements, 1 can only
look upon his recent attitude as
something remarkable. 1t would
force another issue of bonds. In
this letter Mr.. Carlisle says that
under such conditions Gree coin
age) the government would be COM
PEELED from the beginning to ex-
change gold for silver dollars and
their paper representatives when
ever demanded, just as it now ex-
changes gold for its own notes when
demanded
such an announcement contem-
plates an entire reversal of the es-
tablished policy of this government,
and would be a violation of the law
itself. The silver certificate on its
face is redeemable in silver dollars.
and now the secretary comes along
with an advocacy of its redemption
in gold and not only the silver GER
tificates, but the silver dollars them
selves.
Not more than two weeks ago I
received a letter from the secre-
tary, which 1 gave publicity through
the press, in which he said that gold
had never been demanded in ex-
change for silver during his admin
istration, and the records of the de-
partment failed to show that such
demands had ever been made.
"The letter of the secretary pub
lished this morning is notice to the
bondholders and syndicates that if
the treasury deems it necessary they
will redeem silver with gold. 1t is
the proposed establishment of a con-
dition that will compel another is
sue of bonds When the policy Of
redeeming the greenback in gold
was inaugurated, greenbacks were
cornered, and became the subject
of speculation. When treasury notes
were held to be redeemable in gold.
they, likewise, became the object
of solicltude on the part of the men
gagged in the business of cornering
money. Now we have the astound-
ing proposition to pay gold for sill
yer certificates and induce another
money corner that will contract our
currency to the point of retirement
of the only money that now does the
business of the people.
Such propositions as this or their
mere agitation are sufficient to
alarm the people, and Mr.. Carl
isles letter is bound to be of ines
Unable benefit to those who are
fighting the battles of the Demo-
cratic party"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE revised

was IN cheerful humor as he discussed
the subject this afternoon.
In the election of lS94." said he. Clarke
IN the election Of 1894" said he. Clarke
the Democratic nominee for governor
carried the state by 4S,724 plurality and bv
a majority of 24273. Kennel. Republi-

Jones Democrat, received I,6l5 votes or
1884 less than Clarke received two wears
ago Kennel, the Republican candidate
received 26,4l0, gain of nearly 400 votes
while thePopulists lost 1900 votes from
the vote they poiled two years ago.
The significance of all this lies in the
tumble of the heavy plurality of over So

than two years ago. which has taken
place since the first reports of the recent

WATSON IN LINCOLN.
He Pays Great Tribute to Bryan
and is ChcereI.


and is Chcered.
LINCOLN, Neb., September 16.-The
Lansing theatre was crowded to the
doors this afternoon, the attraction
being Hon. Thomas E. Watson's ad-
dress on the issues OF the campaign.
Mr.. Watson was introduced by State
Chairman Edmistor, and spoke for an
hour and a half Mr. Watson's speech
was defense of the Populist national
platform, and in no sense did the vice
presidential candidate refer to Mr..
Sewan or to the recent election in
Maine.
Coming TO the silver question, Mr..
Watson showed the manner of put
ting a nation in bondage" be dwell
ling upon the situation in Egypt. and
the recent absorption of the FIJI Is
lands by Great Britain.
Quoting from a recent speech OF
Major McKinley's, he showed the in
consistency CT protection and gold
standard finance. contending that
whereas a high tariff would raise
prices of commodities the apprecia-
ton in the value OF money under gold
monometallism would depress them.
Mr.. Watson warmly eulogized Mr.
Bryan, and when he said. 4 sincerely
hope and trust he will be elected he
brought out tremendous and long con-
tinued applause
He was particularly emphatic in de-
claring that under no circumstances
would he withdraw from the race, say
ing:
'They put me on sentinel duty to
hold the party in the national cam
paign, to hold a place on the national
ticket They selected the post of duty
and without solicitude. effort or desire
on my part. they selected me to fill
that post of duty, and no matter what
any Republican newspaper or Demo-
cratic newspaper may say upon that
subject / shall hold that pest of duty
until the last gun in this campaign
is fired" applause and cries of Good
for Watson III 2
MI Watson's address was surpris-
ingly free from personal references or
abuse though he was pressed by his
partisan auditors to venture that line
Of attack. A reference TO Major Nc
Kinley brought a remark from one in
the crowd. He don't pay his debts"
followed by kissing and a response
from Watson that he would not des-
cend TO personal reflections on any
candidate, no matter how he differed
politically. He was cheered.
Mr. Watson left tonight for Alma,
.-eb., where he speaks tomorrow and
will go from there to Colorado.
