DEADWoOD, Oct. 29.-(Special Telegram)
Colonel William r. Steele until the time
of the Chicago convention the most prom
inent man in the democratic party of South
Dakota, its most eloquent orator and most
influential leader, this evening addressed a
crowded Mckinley meeting in the city hall
of Deadwood on the financial issues OF the
campaign. coming out boldly in favor of
Mckinley and sound money. He made an
eloquent appeal to democrats and repub-
licans and citizens of all parties to show
their patriotism and love of country by cast
ing their votes against the nominee of the
Chicago convention and the principles advo-
Gated by the platform upon which he stands.
Hundreds could not gain admission to the
hall but contented themselves by standing
on the sidewalks and cheering for Mckinley.

HASTINGS, Oct 29-(Special Tclegram)-
Hon 7. ]. Mahopey of Omaha spoke at Dut-
toms hall this evening to a large audience.
which gathered in spite of the dsagreeabe
weather, to hear the first representative OF
the sound money democracy who has spoken
here this campaign. He first paid his re-
spccts to parties here who had issued
dodger burlesquing his announcement as
democratic speaker and declaring that his
expenses were paid by Mark Hanna, by say
ing that he did not wish to retort in kind
but simply wished to draw their attention to
the fact that certain candidate who was
going about the country levied assessments
on those parties where he condcscended to
stop who were benefited by the gatherings
of large crowds. He then took up the cur
rency question, explaining in the fullest
terms the difference between coinage by the
government and coinage on private account,
which was demanded by the advocates Of the
free and unlimited coinage cf silver. He took
up the history Of the various coinage acts
OF the government since 1892. showing the
futility of the governments attempts to
maintain a parity between gold and silver
by mere legislative enactment without ref
erence to the commercial ratio.

HIS CHICAGO VISIT A FAILURE.
Brynn's Frantic Rush About Chicago

Bryan's Frantic Rush About Chicago
Helps McI<inIcy's Cnuse.
CHICAGO, Oct 29.-(Speclal Telegram)-
Mr., Bryan's visit to Chicago is proving a
great disappointment to his managers.
While his frantic efforts and mad rush from
place to place in the city have attracted
many people, a large proportion of them
not only wear yellow badges, but show their
loyalty to Mckinley by cheers fer him at
the conclusion of Mr.. Bryan's remarks.
Wherever Bryan speaks Mckinley speakers
soon put in their appearance, and If it were
possible for Bryans speeches here to have
any influence on voters it would be more
than Offset by the work of Mckinley speak
ers throughout the city. Senator Tilman's
appearance in the public squares of Chicago
at this time are likened unto the notorious
sand lot" appeals of Dennis Kearney in
San Francisco and his work is doing good
service for the sound money cause.
After some tenants of the Temple court
building. 225 Dearborn street, had listened
to Bryan speak today they tore down the
American flag and trampled it under foot
This created intense Indignation among
other occupants of the building and for a
time 1t looked as though serious trouble
would result.
After Chairman Hanna had this evening
carefully revised polls from several states
including those recently regarded as doubt
full, he declared he was absolutely certain
that Mckinley and Hobart would be elected
by much larger majority than he had here
tofore anticipated He said there was no
longer the least doubt that all the Pacific
slope states Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas
Minnesota, Michigan Tennessee, West Vir-
ginIa, Maryland and Delaware would choose
Mckinley and Hobart electors on next Tues
day

NO VALUE CREATED ny THE LAW.
"Boy Orator. Punctures Some of the
bryan SOphistrics.

bryan Sopbistrics.
In spite of the mud which made the streets
in that part OF the city almost impossible,
there was a large crowd in the hall at Thir-
ty-second street and Ames avenue last night
to hear r. II. Thorpe, the hoy orator" talk
politics from the standpoint of working
man. The speaker caught the crowd from
the start and his homely illustrations and
apt stories were received with marked favor.
He made the "crme of 49," Mysteries of the
popocrat orators ridiculous, and effectually
demolished the various sophistries that they
had inflicted on the voters during the cam
paign. He quoted literally from the re-
ports of the Treasury department to show
to what extent the republican party had in
creased the money of the country and de-
clared that if this was the "crime of '73"
he was for sending a republican president
and congress to Washington to perpetrate a
"crime of 81
A fair sample of his illustrations was that
with which he punctured the Bryan theory
that value could be created by law. He
said "if he should ride out in the country
from Omaha he could doubtless find farmer
who was said to be worth $25, 900 and who
was really worth that amount He might
go to that farmer with bill and the farmer
might tell him that he did not have a dol
lar, either in the bank or in his pocket.
Still he was worth $4,000, because nature
had nourished his grain and fattened his
hogs and cattle. When Bryan could leg
islate the grain and hogs which constituted
the farmers wealth then he could create
value by law

Suggestion from MIR. PcnfoId.

OMAHA, Oct 29.-To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: After weeks of education, the
time has now come for action, and would
suggest to the republican committees that
the head of every jobbng house, bank. fac
tory, shop and business of every kind, be
invited to marshal every sound money voter
in their employ, and participate in the
Monday night parade, and make a demon
stration that will show the state that Omaha
is awake to the needs of the hour.
Every voter in this city for Mckinley
and sound money should be willing to line
up, and by his presence show that he has
the courage of his convictions.
These are times when the voters OF the
city. of all trades and business should
march shoulder to shoulder for Mckinley,
MacColl and Mercer. Yours respectfully,

TON REEDS GREATEST OVATION.
Crowds I'm California Too Large to lie
Talked To.

STOCKTON, Cal. Oct. 29.-Stockton's ag-
rcultural pavilion was crowded last night
as 1t has not been crowded before for years
The people from all central California flocked
to this city to hear Thomas b. Reed talk on
republIcanism. There were fully 10000 peo-
pie I'm the pavilion and MIR. Reed felt com
PEELED to cut his talk short on account of
not being able to make the entire company
hear him.
Speaker Reed and his party left Los An
gees on a special car as soon as he had
finished speaking on Tuesday evening and
came in at a little after l O'Clock with his
car attached TO the regular passenger train.
An impromptu procession was formed In.
the first carriage were Speaker Reed Con-
gresham Johnson, Judge Smith and Com
mitteeman Nelson, and the second carriage
contained Miss Reed and the Misses Welsh
and Cunningham whose guest the visiting
lady is while in the city. The escort was
composed Of about sixty or eighty Maine
men and the party was soon landed at the
Imperial hotel, where dinner was served
There were 10000 persons I'm the pavilion
when Mr. Reed was introduced by Judge
Smith, chairman of the meeting. The con-
gre-Sman saw at once that he could not
talk 70 that vast throng and he had to open
with an apology for his inability to make
himself heard. He said he had found great
audiences everywhere this year and his voice
was not big enough. The speaker went into
an explanation Of the money question and
three-quarters OF hour, In which he
stoutly maintained the gold standard. He
declared that silver was demonetized away
back In 1894. but this country had seen
much prosperity since then and would see
more OF II. What tho west wants he said
is capital and not more money. We want
capital to develop the wonderful resources
OF this great empire. The business OF the
country Is done on the confidence of the
people, MIR Reed said, confidence in them
selves and confidence in the government.
