Special Dispatch to the Standard.


San Francisco. Oct Ex-Governor
Smith. as he is now familiarly called,
addressed a crowded gathering in
Union hall last evening, and shared
the honors OF the occasion with 4. II.
Lamme OF Los Angeles. a republican
sent by 1000 republicans OF the banner
republican county TO assist in the cleo
ton OF William Jennings Bryan. The
Montana man made a splendid speech
and carried his audience with him.
Among other things he said. In regard
TO the issue Of the fiscal policy, that
the writer's agree, as he explained. that
with diminishing or contracting vol
ume OF the currency the value OF the
dollar Is increased and the prices Of
commodities are decreased. Tie con-
verse is true. With an expanding vol
ume OF currency-dollars become less
valuable and property more valuable.
For 23 years there has been periodi-
cal contraction. Prices have been
steadily growing lower. because the
amount OF money Is too small. Prices
must be Increased. and the increase
must come from an Increased volume
OF money.
Mr.. Smith pointed to inconsistencies

ley. In one sentence Mckinley wrote
that free coinage of silver would over
whelm the country with silver, In an
other sentence he said that there
would be a shortage OF money because
gold would be exported: that Is. ne
predicted too much money and too 1T
tie money from the same cause. An
other Inconsistency In the letter Is the
declaration that silver mine owners
will get i00-cent dollar for SO cents
worth OF silver when compared with
the declaration that the pensioners
will be paid in 53-cent dollars: that 10.
the mine owners get 100-cent dollars
and the pensioners get 5s-cent dollars.
though both dollars are the same.
Mr.. Smith said that the honor OF the
country will not be smirched by pay
ing bonds In the coin in which. Accord
Ing 10 the bonds themselves. they are
legally payable. but the honor OF the
country is smirched by entering into q
contract with Rothschild and sons or
London to protect the treasury OF the
United lates.
Much interest has been aroused IN
the joint debate which is to take place
In Oakland tomorrow night. MI.

was held from the pew which Mr.. Bryan
had occupied. and as soon as possible

READY FOR WAR.
Spaniards Are Anxious to Meet the
United States in the Bloody Field.

Spaniards Are Anxious to Meet the
United States in the Bloody Field.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The Herald's
special from Havana via Key West
says:
The following dispatch presented for
direct transmission by cable, was blue
pencilled Thursday by the government
press censor: The report that Presi-
dent Cleveland would recognize the in
dependence of Cuba unless the Spanish
crush the rebellion before three
by resident Spaniards and Cubans.
The concensus of semi-official opinion
is that war with the United States is
now inevitable. Madrid advices state
that Mr.. Cleveland reported threat to
recognize Cuba's independence unless
peace is restored within three months,
is more especially felt by Senior Cano-
vas and other cooler-headed Spanish
officials, who, advices say, protesting
confidence in the presidents justice and
good faith, have managed so far, in
virtual defiance of public opinion, to
curb the growing sentiment throughout
Spain in favor of an open declaration
of war with the United States.
Officially, Spain has done much to
court American sympathy in this great
struggle to maintain her national in
tegrity.
Various instances of Spain's great
consideration for the Washington gov
eminent might be cited. All are under
stood here to be proofs of SPANS de-
sire to hold the good opinion of the
United States

SAN ANTONIO, N. IL, Oct. 3D.
Keeper Rice of Mountain Station, on
the stage road to White Oaks, came
in on horseback tonight with the news
that the men who held up the stage
coach in the Oscure mountains few
weeks ago are still in the hills, and
that they have, in all probability, held
up two coaches within the past few
days, as the Wednesday and Thursday
stages are not vet in, and that Red
Canyon is infested with armed men,
who are lying in wait for the San An
tonic mail. He came cut of the road
to warn the driver and seek assistance.
When the stages did not put in an
appearance, he sent man out to look
for them. The messenger, while en-
tering the dreary canyon, was con-
fronted by two masked men, armed to
the teeth, and. turning his horse, he
fed for his life. The men were in
waiting for the coach from this point,
undoubtedly. These men compose a
part of the band of robbers who held
up the Atlantic & Pacific express few
weeks since, in which their leader was
shot. Posses have been securing the
mountains for them. Postoffice In
spector Fredericks is supposed to be on
one of the overdue stages.
Posses will leave from here in the

rear of vacant house belonging to L.
Store in Clay street, between Green and
Jefferson streets, yesterday morning. He
was far up the ladder, just under the
roof, and painting vigorously to finish up
by noon. Rather than go all the way
down to move the ladder to another
place. he was reaching far out and paint
ing. Suddenly he discovered that the lad
descend. he caught the caves of the
house with his hands. The ladder slipped
from under his feet and fell to the
ground, leaving him helpless, hanging
about IS feet in midair He called loudly
for help time and again. but no one heard
the cries. and he, being at the rear of the
house. could not be seen.
The little dog heard him. however. and
sneaked around the house to see what
was up. He saw there was a great deal
up, and began to bark loudly. AS he
would sit beneath Carr, his barlSs would
ring out Sharply Tor moment and then
end with a long, passionate howl he
would then run around the house toward
the Clay street police station, which is
directly across the street, give few
sharp barkS there and run again to his
old position under the dangling man.
where he would send out his plaintive
appeal more desperately than before.
This attracted the attention Of the pO-
lice. and. although not understanding dog
language. they easily guessed there was
something wrong. Accordingly, several
of them ran over to the house. and Pa
trolman Frank Hammer opened the back
gate. They took in the situation, and the
ladder was soon under the mans feet. so
he descended with safety.
Carr said that he had been hanging
from the caves for about ten minutes,
and had not help arrived when it did, he
would surely have fallen from sheer ex-
haustion. He declares that ne will keep
and raise the dog with care and tender
ness. and hereafter If anyone wants
good fight on his hands all he will have
to do will be TO hit Cars dog.

BETWEEN TWO EVILS.
George Foster Peabody Writes Of the
Rival Candidates-PaImer and
BuclSner the Only Men Who Can
Secure Peace and Prosperity.

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-At the eastern
headquarters of the Palmer and Buckner
national committee was given out today
an open letter from National Committee
man George Foster Peabody, to the Hon.
Sherman Hoar. of Worcester, Mass, who
has been identified with the Democratic
party in Massachusetts since the revolt in
that party in 1894. but who has now de-
clared that he intends to vote for Nc
kiniey.
After restating the political conditions
and some of the historical facts relating
to the Democratic party, Mr.. Peabody
says:
whelmingly an most, If not in all, of the
states that the number of Democrats who
openly repudiate the Chicago convention
and its candidates is very many times the
number of Republicans who are justly
suspected even OF being lukewarm to their
candidates. So, that II is apparent that
there are Democrats enough in all the
middle and eastern states, at any rate.
who viii not vote for the Populist can
didate. to make his defeat sure.
Patriotic citizens must see that ii is
absolutely essential to the preServat ton of
our liberty hereafter to live quietly and
free from the most serious alarm as TO
the future of business, and even of the
continuance of our form of government,
that provision should be made against a
calamitous reaction against Mckinley and
that therefore, there should be cast this
>
cratic candidate.
Believers in the soundness of Demo-
cratic principles are well assured that
prosperous conditions cannot be restored
by the application of the principles held
by the Republican party and, therefore.
they should not be led into the dangerous
position of affirming to the great num-
bers of our misinfermed and Disconnected
countrymen, who honestly hold such
gravely erroneous economic views. that
the election of she Republican candidate
will fully restore prosperity No greater
danger could be encouraged from 1896 to
1900 than for believers in Democratic
doctrines TO become sponsors for period
of abiding prosperity as a result Of Mr..
McKinley's election alone.
Il venture most earnestly TO declare
my conviction that next to the election
of the Chicago candidate in danger to
the future of the country would be the
casting of the Republican candidate of an
overwhelming majority of the popular
vote. For these reasons / venture TO sug-
gest that all Democrats anxious to pre-
serve our honor. our prosperity and our
liberty should vote for the national Dem
ocratic ticket headed by Palmer and
Buckner.'

time to realize his act. Mccartney had
