What those plans are Mr Bryan will not tell until they are fully settled, but it is under stood he will make several speeches at big cities en route to New York.
 The democratic nominee had a quiet day. He is catching up on his corre- spondence with the assistance of sev- eral clerks and will probably have his desk cleared by the time he starts east
 Among his visitors to-day were three Mississippians who have been on a hunting trip west of Lincoln and who stopped over here to assure MT. Bryan of their support They were Dr. w. H. Baird of Oxford, J. s. Macdonald, pres ident of the Delta bank of Greenwood, and Hon. G. 4. Wilson of Lexington, formerly state senator. Mir. Wilson has been a gold man. but he joined with his companions in promising to work for the democratic ticket.

Euclid Martin of Nebraska Predicts Major
 McKinley's Election.

Boston, July 29.--Euclid Martin of Omaha, chairman of the gold demo- crats of Nebraska, passed through this city this morning on his way to New York, where he will meet his family who are returning from Europe. MT. Martin was one of the gold delegates from Nebraska to the recent democrat ic convention at Chicago There was contest between the gold and silver men from Nebraska for the seats in the convention and the silver men won The Nebraska chairman said in an in- terview:
 T think Mckinley will be elected if the republicans carry on the fight where and as they ought to. By this condition, l mean that the great con- test will be in West Virginia, Ohio, Illi- nois, Indiana Nebraska and some of the states near these. I believe most of them are certain to go for Mckinley if the republicans carry on the right sort of campaign.
 Most people think Mckinley is talk ing through his hat when he says the tariff is the great issue in this cam paign, but he knows what he is talk ing about. In West Virginia, Indiana and Ohio the miners and working men think they must have a high tariff to keep up, and perhaps increase their wages, and they look on Mckinley as the apostle of protection. They will not listen to talk about sound money, free silver or anything else, but the tariff, and that is why Mckinley is right when he says in some sections the tariff will be the issue and on that is- sue I Gelieve that all the states I have mentioned are reasonably certain to go for Mckinley.
 Tt seems to me that there is no dan ger that Bryan will carry any of the eastern states. have nothing to say against Bryan personally, but do not think he is a great man. My impress sion is that the free silver craze has reached it's height in the west and has begun to go backward"

MT. Troup was heartily applau led at the close of his speech. M.
 Committeeman Fitzpatrick was rec ognized by the chair at the close of Mir Troup's remarks and moved that Q committee of fifteen be appointed to arrange for ratification meeting.

NO OFFENSIVE pAnrIsANsHIP.
Warming Issued by Post Office Departmen
 to Its Employcs.


 Washington, July 29.-The postofl1ce department has issued circular of in- structions to railway postal clerks in- forming them of the departments wishes concerning the attitude of these clerks in the coming political campaign. The circular states that the depart ment does not attempt or desire to con- trol the political opinions of any one connected with the postal service. but 1t insists that employees of the railway mail service shall not take an active in- terest in politics in the way of attend- ing conventions as delegates, making political speeches or assisting in the management of political campaigns.
 These employees should recognize the fact that their tenure of office depends upon themselves; if they conform to these requirements and are efficient, honest, courteous, to the public, their officers and comrades, aSd abstain from unseemly and indecent language in discussing candidates or parties, they may reasonably expect to remain in the service.
 All this will not interfere with their voting according to the dictates of their own conscience or of expressing their opinions in an intelligent and courteous way. More than this. however, Is det- rimental to the best interests of the service and is in violation of the pos- tai laws and also of the order of the president issued July IA, 1886, which is still in force, and was made part of the postal laws and regulations subse- quently and promulgated by the postmaster general May 25, 1894.

WILL HOKE SMITH RESIGN?
Secretary of Interior Snubbed by Presi d en
 Cleveland.

Washington, July 29.-One of the most interesting unsolved problems in Washington to-day is the question whether MT. Hokg Smith of Georgia has resigned or is about to resign as secre- tary of the interior. There is a widely prevailing impression that the presi- dents action to-day in selecting a West Virginia man at the request of Post master General Wilson for Union Paci- f1c railroad director, an office under the control of the interior department, was intended as a direct snub to Secretary smith, and was meant to be so regard ed by him, especially as there does not appear to have been any pretense by the president of asking the advice of the secretary of the interior on the matter.
 MT. Cieveland's known views against the free coinage of silver were entirely in accord with those expressed by his secretary Of the interior in his recent joint discussion with ex-Speaker Crisp in Georgia. But the fact that MT. Smiths newspaper, the Atlanta Jour- nal, has since come out in favor of Bryan and Sewall and free silver, and the further fact that MT. Smith him. self is advertised to open the campaign in favor of Bryan and free silver in Augusta, Ga, on the 18th of August next, have naturally revived the ru- mors that MT Smiths resignation as a member of President Cleveland's S cabi- net will either be requested or enforced within a few days.
 Secretary Smith being asked this ev- ening whether it was true that he pro- posed to go to Gray Gables for consul tation with President Cleveland prior to entering upon the Georgia campaign, declined to make any statement for publication.

ADDRESS ON FREE sILvEn.
Delivered by Edward Bellamy's Brother
 Before Springfield Democrats.

Before Springfield Democrats.
 Springfield, July 29-The Democratic
 club held a banquet tonight and was
 addressed by Charles J. Bellamy on
 Free Silver" MT Bellamy is editor of
 the Springfield News. Mir, Bellamy at
 the start of his address defined the
 function of money and stated the req
 sons for the resort to the precious
 metals for measure of values. Pro-
 ceeding to develop the quantity theory of money and the dependence of the
 stability of prices upon sufficient pro- duction of standard metal of metals MT. Bellamy continued:
 If the production of the precious
 metals coined into money does not keep
 pace With demands then extremely dis astrous results are induced When
 money shirnks in proportion to the de-
 mands of the world then prices steadily fall, the merchant, manufacturer and
 agriculturalist buy on falling market, which in the long run means ruin the debtor is bound to pay, reckoning mon ey according to its purchasing power, more than he borrowed.
 "The money lender of the country is the only one who profits from such an
 unnatural condition and his profit is
 only temporary, since if the condition is kept up very long the common ruin
 would necessarily engulf him too. On
 the other hand consider the effects of a
 money supply somewhat in excess of
 the demands of business and popula- tion. Then only possible way in which disaster can come then is for an at tempt to return to previous conditions to contract the currency.
 Tt would appear that contraction had reached nearly its limit in this country so far as it is dependent on the single gold standard. More con l traction would come if the greenbacks and treasury notes were to be retired | from circulation. Already the gold press abounds with intimations that there is more gold produced than is re- quired for money and more than one | suggestion has been made that it would not be amiss to increase the amount of gold in the standard coin so as to fur l ther contract the currency
 After reviewing the matter of the de- monetization of silver in 1873 and it's effects in contracting the monetary
 volume and producing long continued and persistent fall in prices Mir Eel
 lamy said that the present proposition was to return, to the status of 1873. Free coinage of silver means just this: l That the owner of silver iI any form can take it to the government mint and l obtain dollar in pXchar1ge Fo< avery
 412a grains of metal of s,andasd fine 1 ness. Gold has always had the right l of free coinage. and silver was never denied it in this country, ur i,l any European country, except England, until about the date when the infamous Sherman act demonetized it.

QUEEN OF ALI PAGERS.
Lottie Lorraine Faces Three Fastest Heats
 Ever Paced.

Cleveland, O., July 29.-Lottie Lor- raine won the title of Queen of All the Pacers at the Grand Circuit races here to-day, taking the three fastest heats ever paced by mare and lowering her ercord from 2:10A to 2:07&. This daughter of Gambetta Wilkes started with a field of twelve other horses in the 2:09 pace and won the greatest race of the day. After taking the first two heats she lost the third to Ber- toliver who beat her out at the wire. She won the fourth heat in hard drive from Bertoliver, who was called upon at the last moment, but was unequal to the task.
 The little mare was a favorite in the betting. While the bookmakers were hard hit on the 2:09 pace and the 2:25 trot they were saved somewhat by the winning of the 2:14 pace by Frank Bo- gash, who was begging to betting. Josie B., the favorite in the 2:14 event, was never in the race, while Maxim and Red Fox heavily played second and third choices were distanced iii the first heat. Emma Offut took the 2:25 trot in three straight easy heats.
