Republicans Are Getting Ready for the
 Campaign.
 The Ninth ward Republican club will give an entertainment in the tent at the corner of Argyle street and Dix well avenue Thursday evening, August 1000 persons.

 The regular meeting of the Young Mems Republican club will be held this evening. Thirty-five new members will be elected.
 The Ninth ward committee will meet tomorrow evening to arrange some of the details of the campaign in the ward. The club has rendered the Summer field congregation the use of the tent for it's o'clock meetings on Sunday afternoons during the summer, or as long as the pleasant weather continues. A temporary organization was form ed last evening at the Young Mems
 
 and Hobart Bicycle club Of New Ha- ven. Several enthusiasts of the silent steed were on hand and 8 rousing meet ing resulted. Samuel J. Well was made temporary chairman. Methods were adopted to increase the membership, sol that at the meeting next Wednesday night a permanent organization may be effected.
 There is no expense connected with the club whatever, and there is no doubt but the membership will number 150 or 200 at the next meeting. Every bicyclist who favors the sound money doctrine of Mckinley and Hobart should attend the next meeting of the club, Wednesday, August 26, at the Young Mems Republican club rooms, at 8 p. m.
 There will be a meeting of the demo- cratic silverite voters this morning in St. Aloysius society's hall on Meadow street at 10:S0 o'clock. Chairman James B.

Letter Which Proves He Would Not Sup
 port Gold Democrat.

port a Gold Democrat
 Indianapolis Aug. 19-Chairman By nam of the executive committee of the national democratic party stated to- day that it can now be positively as- serted that every state of the Union ex-' cept Nevada, Idaho and Utah and pos sibly one southern state, will send a full delegation to the Indianapolis con- vention. The sound money headquar- ters have secured what they consider very valuable campaign document in the shape of a letter alleged to have been written by nominee Bryan to George M Garden of Dallas, Texas, February IS, 1896. The letter, they say, justifies the sound money bolt and de- stroys the criticism of MT. Bryan upon the action of the gold men at Chicago. Here are the extracts to be spread broadcast by the cohlmittee:
 AS early as 1893, when the democrat ic state convention of Nebraska con trolled by candidates for the federal offices endorsed the presidents financial policy, stated that I would not follow the democratic party to gold stand- ard
 Directed by my conscience and by my best judgment, I shall use that vote to defend my rights, protect my family and advance the welfare of so- ciety. No convention can rob me of my convictions, nor can any party or ganization drive me to conspire against the prosperity and liberty of my coun- try.
 Men who honestly differ upon the paramount public questions cannot af- ford to be harmonized by national convention. MT Cleveland would not support the free silver candidate for the presidency and he should not do so if he really believes that free coinage would ruin the country, because a mans duty to his country is higher than his duty to his party.
 (Signed) w. J. BRYAN"

The total number of convicts in penal institutions in the various states in 1885 was 41,SS7, In 1895 the number rose to 54,244. Of these 1 ,9S8 were females. In 1885 the number engaged in productive labor was 30,S53; in 1895 the number was 3S,415, In 1885 the number of idle and sick was 2,639, or 6.3 per cent; 1895, 7O25, or 13 per cent. Among the states in which there was an increase in the amount of work done in penal institutions during 1895 were Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont Maine is among the states in which 8 decrease occurred in the amount of work done.
 The total value of goods produced or worked on in all the state prisons and penitentiaries for 1895 was $19142, OFF, In 1885 the sum paid by contractors and lessees for the labor of convicts, from which resulted a product of the value of S2S, ,75S, 999, was only $3,512,970, or $1 of convict labor wages to $S.19 of fin ished product of convict labor At the present time in all probability the total value of the labor expended by the con- victs in the state penitentiaries and prisons of the country does not exceed S2 BOO 000

 Gentlemen of the Lincoln club; beg to assure you I have high appre- citation of the compliment of this visit, but insist that no compliment to my self alone, even from so good people as the Lincolns would have brought me in here tonight had I not something to say to you. What I shall sag to you will be no part of the campaign of edu- cation for I think by this time the Lin- coin club knows it all. Naughter).
 You are not, however, like a silver man of my acquaintance who knows it all about the silver question and some thing more. Naughter) l come to bring you words of cheers, encourage mdnt and exhortation. In the political affairs of the nation Maine is an im- portant state and has been so since 1S40 and will continue to be so.
 "We speak in the midst of the thought and determination of politics as representatives of the sentiment of the people of the United States for we have sent our sons into all parts of the nation, and what we say in Septem- Der they will say louder in November. Here in this district we have plain case. The candidate who has been nominated by the democratic party is an estimable gentlemen, and he has stated plainly where he is and you know where you are. I am not per- sonally particular about larger ma jority. (Laughter). have in the past been satisfied with what you have giv- en me- But the country looks to you to say the right thing and to say it louder.
 'We are not fighting any losing bat | tie. (Cheers) For the cause of genu- inc bimetallism there is much to be said, but this thing which Is now pro- posed is against all that makes the free peace. comfort and prosperity of l this country.
 "The Lincoln club is composed of earnest, patriotic and active young men. There was never time when the country demanded greater effort in it's behalf than to-day. Your efforts with those of the older veterans of many other battles will give good sound to Maine victory"
 | At the close of MT. Reeds speech the procession marched to the residence of Hon. r. F. Richardson, where Gov ernor Cleaves was serenaded and ad- dressed the assemblage eloquently on | national and local iSS1leS

gest Sale in Twenty Years.
 New York, Aug. 19.-For the first time in over twenty years Auctioneers Wilmerding, Morris & Mitchell sold at auction to-day over 5000 cases of Washington prints. That the sale was a novelty to the dry goods people was evidenced by the large number of bid ders present, nearly all of whom bid on the goods. There were 4,000 cases cat alogued An additional 1000 were put up and quickly disposed of. Most of the goods went to the south," said MT. Morris of the above mentioned firm, although some went to the west H. B. Claflin & Co., of this city, however, were the largest individual buyers"
 The prices were almost as good as if the goods were disposed of at private sale, and $. H. Greene &s Co. of River Point, R. l., by whom the goods were consigned, were well pleased with the result The cause of the sale was said to be the general poor times in trade. The rapid disposition of the goods, how ever, might be attributed to a return of confidence in the business of the fu- ture.

Hanna Evidence.

The Republican politicians seem
to be singularly blind to the effect
upon their canvass of Mark Hanna's
prominence and the affiliations which
he naturally seeks here in New York.
This mushroom millionaire boss is
organizing the Mckinley campaign
as he would organize an iron trust.
He gees to Pierpont Morgan for aid
and advice as to checking the silver
movement which that eminent tnan-
cier did more than any other man to
create. Ee has installed Matt Quay

Paste This in Your Hat.

The following is an editorial from
the London Financial News gold
bug:)
There is plain moral 10 the re-
mark thet ii the United States would
venture to cut herself sdrlft from
Europe and take outright to silver
she would have all America and Asia
al her back and the command OF the
markets OF both countries. The
barrier Of gold would be more fatal
than any barrier of a custom house.
The bond Of silver would be strong
er than anv bond Of free trade
There eau be no doubt about ii that
if the United States were to adopt a
silye. l,ss:s tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year was
out Every American would be pro
tected. not only at home but IL
every other market. OF course, the
United States would suffer to q eer
tain extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold. bu
the loss of exchange under this heat
would be a mere drop in the buckle
!, as compared to the profit to be reap
ed from the markets of South Amer
