for local use until the visitors are pro-
vided for. From some Of the states a
considerable number OF sympathlzers
with the movements are expected. Ex-
Congressman Outhwaite OF Ohio tele-
graphed to-day that so gold democrats
would come from Columbus. The
rooms at the leading hotels are all en-
gagged and II seems probable that the
present expectations OF the managers
will be realized. From the lists OF
delegates being received at the head
quarters Ii is evident that many OF the
prominent leaders Of the party will be
In attendance. Ex-Governor Flower of
New York has telegraphed his accept
ance of the post OF temporary chair
man, and 1t Is practically decided that
Senator Caffrey of Louisiana will be
permanent chairman of the conven-
tlon.
Indianapolis as yet has not put on
her gala attire In anticipation of the
invasion OF the gold hosts. The en-
frances to the two leading hotels are
festooned with bunting and the rotun-
da of the Bates house is profusely
draped. but beyond this the work OF
decoration has not proceeded. The
decorations OF the Bates house con-
sist of a profusion of American flags
hung from the balconies over a back
ground Of yellow bunting. Oil por-
traits Of Cleveland. Tilden. Stevenson
and Watterson in gilt frames form
nucleus for the festooned drapery.
There is much Of gilt in the effect as
emblematic of the spirit Of the as
semblage. This extends to the Ameri-
can flags. the stars or which are Of
gold. The decorations OF Tomlinson

about completed. In order to give the
public an opportunity to listen to the
oratory mass meeting will be held on
Wednesday night which will be ad-
dressed by Colonel John r. Fellows
and other prominent orators.

He Says Bryan Ia Making . Series OF
Wonderful and Telling speeches.
Salt Lake. Aug. 3O.-A special to the
Tribune from Denver, Col, says: Sem
ator Teller. in an interview to-day on
the national campaign, said mo man,
since i have been acquainted with
public affairs, and that is now nearly
80 years, has ever made such a cam
paign as Bryan Is now making. Gree
ley in 1872 and Blaine in 1882 made
series of speeches concerning the Is
sues of that day that were considered
remarkable exhibitions of originality
and versatility. Harrison, also during
his first campaign In 1888. achieved
quite a reputation. and 1t was deserv-
ed. for the speeches he made to the
delegations visiting him. But the
speeches of none of them are to be
compared for originality. clearness of
statement, Appropriateness OF illustra-
ton and the general comprehensive
character of the discussion of questions
at issue with those of Bryan made
since his nomination. When condi-
tions under which they have been
made are considered. even his enemies
must recognize the wonderful ability
of the man.
His speech of acceptance. first ridi-
culed by those opposed TO him. is fin
ally admitted to be a great speech.
The prudent and sensible men among
his opponents demanded that II should
be answered with argument and not
rldicule. This Bourke Cochran at
tempted to do in a speech full Of every
thing but argument and logic. but
don't believe there Is fair minded
man in the United States who will
jeopardize his reputation for fairness
by saying he did answer It, A distin-
guished newspaper correspondent de-
clared that the republican party had
no man who could answer It, and so
far no republican has attempted It. and
the failure of Cochran proves that the
bolting democrats had no man who
could. Mckinley has not answered It
in his letter of acceptance. although 1t
is quite apparent that his letter was
intended to be an answer.
The democratic candidate has GER
tainly acquitted himself to the satis-
faction of his party friends who believe
in the Chicago platform. 1t was not
expected that his speeches would
please the republicans or the gold
standard democrats, and II was under
stood by all his supporters that detrac-
ton. Misrepresentation and slander
would be resorted to by his opponents
to destroy their effect, II possible. But
that cannot be done. The people who
hear him cannot avoid being impressed
with the wonderful grasp he has OF the
subjects discussed. and the sincerity
with which he presents his views. On
the whole" concluded the senator,
this is likely to be one of the most re-
markable campaigns ever made in this
country. and no matter what the re-
suit of the election may be. the infiu-
ence of the campaign will not cease
with the election. The silver question
is bound to be settled at the coming
election or the near future In the inter-
est Of the many. and not the few"

Madison square Speech Has
Not eeen Answered.

jamestown, N. Y, Aug 3o.-Mr. and
Mrs. William ]. Bryan enjoyed a day
OF ease after a week of campaigning,
which included speeches in the largest
inland cities OF the state. In two or
three farming centers and many short
ones from car platforms. Two or three
and sometimes more long speeches
have been made by Bryan each day.
and the intervals between have been
spent In travelling by train or carri-
ages. The week with him has been a
season OF unremitting turmoil. pushing
through crowds. riding after brass
bands with fireworks flying or cannon
roaring in his ears. Even quieter mo-
ments at hotels or in car seats there
have been always dozen people at his
elbow to shake hands, or try to talk
politics or to tell him how the cam
paign must be run. He has even had
to WELD a fork with the left hand
while writing autographs with his
right.
Despite this continuous strain, Bryan
was looking almost as fresh as a week
ago. His voice has lost most of the
huskiness which at one stage of the
tour threatened to bring II to an end.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan vert to the First
Presbyterian church where they listen
ed to a sermon by Rev. @. NJ. Colville
In the morning. Afterward they drove
to Lakewood. on Lake Chautauqua.
12 miles from here. where they were
entertained by Norman f. Mack of
Buffalo. Wherever they stirred curious
groups gathered about them.
Tomorrow Bryan leaves New York
state. probably to return in October,
when he will speak in Brooklyn and
other places In the morning a brief
visit will be made to Chautauqua,
there will be a speech at Ripley and
then dash for Cleveland. Ohio. where
Mr. Bryan will speak tomorrow night
Being shown a newspaper statement
to-day that the owner of the largest
hall in Toledo. who is a republican. re-
fused to rent the hall for a democratic
meeting, Mr.. Bryan said he would tell
the Toledo democrats that II the people
there wanted to hear him he will speak
on the prairie. Word has been re-
ceived that a plan is on foot to pack
the hall In Cleveland with republicans.

City OF Mexico. Aug. so.-Charles
Ackers. the London Times correspond
ent In Cuba, has just arrived. and In
an Interview with the Mexican Herald
says:
General Weyler is an extremely
able officer. perhaps the ablest man
for the position to be found In all
Spain. The martial law established by
the Spaniards in Cuba since the out
break of the insurrection Is absolutely
the same as the martial law any
where. II Is certainly impossible to
predict when or how this devastating
struggle will terminate. The Spanish
government Is firmly determined to
make use Of every possible resource In
order to maintain its hold on the ISL
and. You may consider as good as set
tied that the Spanish government will
spare no sacrifice towards retaining
its sovereignty. Whether right or
wrong. Spain imagines She can crush
this rebellion"
In regard to the accounts of Spanish
atrocities. he says:
IT cannot state, from personal OBJ
servations. that I have come across
any act OF wanton cruelty inflicted by
the Spaniards on the Cubans. but Of
course this is war and the Spaniards
cannot afford to be led by false infor-
nation or any other covert, or open
sympathy with the Cubans. Naturally
there have been gross exaggerations
made on both sides. From my per-
sonal knowledge I can say that the
weight OF evidence seems to be against
the Cubans. as II is a well-known fact
that they shoot suspects as well as In
offensive people freely. and do not
hesitate about 1t. This Is the time OF
heavy rain falls In Cuba and much
cannot be done in a military way"
