Wen meet before the throne AT last.

AFTER THE MEETING
A Second Speech Delivered to Another Vast
Audience

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-After the no.
tification meeting Mr.. Bryan was driven
to the Hotel Bartholdi, facing Madison
Square garden, where he spoke again
on a balcony with Mr.. Sewall and Mrs.
Bryan. who shared with her husband all
the honors and attention of the day.
This second audience standing in the
streets, semed to be composed mostly of
workingmen, and Mr.. Bryan exhorted
them to support the cause of free silver
with one of the most effective and open
speeches which he has made in the cam
paign. Lesser lights of the party ana
single tax men held six overflow meet
ings on the streets around Madison
square and made speeches during the
garden meeting, and the opening of the
Democratic campaign in the city made
an exceedingly lively night.
The police lines were formed about )
o'clock by 1000 picked men. AS the hours
rolled on the crowd increased so rapidly
that this large force was almost power
less to handle it. Twice the 10000 men,
women and children who We're cheering
and surging to get closer to the garden
broke through the ranks, and with diff

ing deaths that in reality are due to
other complications. On the other hand

SEWALL NOTIFIED
The Vice Presidential Candidate Respond:
VERY Briefly

Mr.. Bryan spoke for one hour and
fifty minutes and the hands Of the clock
pointed to 1926 when he finsSled the
eloquent peroration addressed to the
citizens of New Work, speaking with up
lifted arm and with manuscript thrown
aside The terrific heat had made the
upper galleries almost unendurtble and
before Mr.. Bryan had finished ma
jority of their occupants had def1led
through the doors.
Candidate Sewall was very heartily
cheered when he stepped forward after
he, with "Silver Dick" Bland and other
leaders on the stage had grasped Mr..
Bryan's hand in congratulation.
The chairman introduced the vice.

POPULIST'S MANIFESTO
Watson Thinks His Chances of Election
Are Improving
The noney Power Dictated the Nomination Of
SewaII - The Popalists Not to
Vote for Him

NEW YORY. Aug. 12.-The World
will publish tomorrow a signed state
ment from T. L. Watson, Populist NOM
inee for vice president, in which he
claims that his prospects as compared
with those of Sewall, grow brighter
every day. He closes as follows:
The money power dictates his nomi-
nation as a counter move to Bryans.
In no other way can any one explain
why the entire south was passed over
in the choice of vice presidential nom
inee. German, the goldbug and protec-
ZIONIST, is controlling Bryan's free sill
yer campaign and Sewail, the typical
eastern plutocrat, is Bryan's running
mate. What does this argue? That
Sewall remains on the ticket and Cor
man continues to pull the campaign
wires. The whole country will see
clearly enough that Mr.. Pendleton of
Georgia is right when he says he was
going to support the Chicago ticket for
the reason that no free silver law would
be passed.
We cannot be guilty of absurdity Of
choosing national banker as our leader
in a fight against national banks. We
cannot hope to escape ridicule and just
reproach if we choose an eastern piu-
tocrat to lead US in a contest against
plutocracy. We cannot believe that we
could keep our own forces straight il
we should start on a crusade agains,
corporations under the command of 8
corporation king. Hence we cannot
under any circumstances, vote for Sc
wall electors. Any policy other thar

ought not to be asked to kill our OWL

HOW IT HAPPENED.
Why Steve Boyer Trundled Emil
Wenzel in a Wheelbarrow.

Steve Boyer believed that Bryan
would be elected to the Presidency. He
believed in Jones of Arkansas-and the
bulletins that Jones gave to the press
and was willing to back up his belief in
Jones' predictions of success tor Bryan.
On the contrary, Emil Wenzel was not
willing to take Jones' figures for any
thing like their face value, intimated
that Jones was talking through his hat
and that Bryan did not stand the ghost
of a chance. Bryan's case was "pied,"
he said, and his cake sticky on both
sides, and Mckinley would win out with
daylight behind his lead.
Now Boyer and Wenzel were friends,
and in talking the matter over they
failed to agree. Wenzel contended that
Jones of Arkansas was a stupid ass. and
Boyer asserted that Mark Hanna didn't
know where he was at.
"I'll wheel you in a barrow" said
WenZel, from Sixth and ] to Twentieth
and M streets if Bryan gets there!"
And TN wheel you over the same
ground" replied Boyer, ''and throw in
banquet for our friends if Mckinley
knows he's alive after election day!'
And so it was settled, but alas! for
Jones slate and Boyer's confidence in
Jones' veracity, Bryan is heard of no
more-just a few lines during the past
week saying he had gone hunting-and
Wenzel had won.
Then it was that Boyer hustled
around and borrowed a wheelbarrow
from contractor and informed WenZel
that1he might fix the date for the circus.
Wenzel consulted with his friends and
pitched upon last evening, the start to
be made at 8 o'clock. This was
agreeable to Boyer, and the friends Of
the victor and the vanquished laid their
heads together to make the matter the
swell event of the season.
To begin with John Hermann was Sc
lected to act as Grand Marshal of the
occasion, and behind him came car
riage containing a haf-doZen "rooters,"
who made noise in abundance. Then
followed drum corps and next in line
came Wenzel seated in the wheelbarrow,
which was draped With the national
colors. On his head he wore a high white
campaign hat and in his hand was the
proverbial new broom, suggesting a
clean sweep
>Behind the principal actors came
thirty torch bearers, selected for their
ability to march through the slush,
rather than for party affiliations, and
so the wager was won and paid.
Several stops were made on the road
to secure refreshments and allow Boyer
to get a fresh grip on his wind, but the
journey was finished at last, and then
both parties and their retainers partook
of the bounteous banquet spread for
them.
Throughout the line of march the
streets were crowded and cheers went
up both for the dignity of the victor and
the pluck of the vanquished, who as he
neared Fifteenth street, and no station
in sight, was heard to mutter Oh
JoneSi"

the value of that farm and result in a
corresponding increase to the ASSESS
ment roll. The increased number OF fac
tories in cities and towns would give an
impetus to all lines of business and send
forward the value of all city and town
property. San Francisco would become
the rival of New York as cigar manu-
featuring center, and its output OF pfug
and smoking tobacco would surpass tne
output in these goods Of Richmond or
st. Louis.
To accomplish all this it needs but to
be demonstrated to the satisfaction OF
men of enterprise and capital that CAN
fornia can grow a superior qualhty OF
tobacco. We believe 1t can Our lnves-
tigation of the subject conv1nces us Oh
this important fact
We know from most experiments
made in this State in growing TOBACCO
that the product when finally turned
has been too rank strong Tor manu-
featuring purposes, but these difficult
ties seem to have been entirely over
come in the product from San feilpe.
Success with Mr.. Culp, the san Feilpe
grower, seems to have long passed the
experimental line.
There would seem, therefore, no bet
ter time to put this tobacco on the mar
ket strictly on it's merits than at pres
ent. Its superiority would soon De
recognized, and the consuming world
would wake UP to the gratifying fact
that good tobacco can be obtained even
though devastating wars should de-
stroy the last pound of the Cuban crop.
The fact would focus attention on
California, and this State in conse-
quence would attract the eager interest
of all tobacco growers and manufact-
urers; while the manufacturers of
the San Felipe product would find de-
mand for their goods which the present
supply of raw product would not enable
them to fill.
Being pioneers in the establishment of
the merits of the California goods, they
would be insured an industry that
product, be as lasting as time and prof
liable possibly beyond computation.
That there is a field inviting such an
enterprise is evidenced from the fact
that there are now manufactured N the
First Revenue District of California
alone something like 60 100000 cigars
per annum, and practically all from to-
bacco grown outside Of this State.
