STORM ON LAKE ERIE.
Heavy Snow, Accompanied by a
Hurricane.

Hurricane.
A special from Sandusky, Ohio, says:
A heavy storm suddenly blew up Thurs
day morning and ragged Oh Lake Erie all
day. One OF Zistill Bros sailboats with
three men board is missing and is be-
lleved TO have gone to the bottom of the
lake with the men on it. Half a dozen
other fishing boats were upset and dis
masted. A steamer that arrived just be-
fore dark reported having seen several
capsized boats in the lake, and on the bar
OFT Cedar Point saw men but was unable
to give any assistance. The money loss
thus far is heavy.
The Cleveland Steel Canal boat Delta
and three consorts on their way to Buff
alo ran into the storm near Dunkirk. The
tug Chauncey Morgan of Cleveland was
helping the boats along. The steamer
and tug broke away from the consorts
near Dunkirk and as the storm was very
heavy they were unable to pick them up
again and had to make for shelter. The
consorts are now adrift on Lake Erie.
" men are on each boat.

Done ia The Love Of Millions of
People-Other News Items.
Manifesto by BrYAn.

Mr.. Bryan gives out the following.
"Consclous that millions of loya hearts
are saddenei by temporary defeat, ! beg
to offer IL word Of hope and encourage
ment. No cause has ever had such a
brave, earnest and devoted following as
those who espoused the cause OF bimetai-
9ism. They fought from conviction, and
fought with all the zeal that conviction
inspires. Having done then duty as they
saw 1t, they have nothing to regret.
"Tbe republican candidate has been
heralded as the advance agent of pros
perlty. Ii his policies bring real pros
perity 10 the American people those who
opposed him Will share that prosperity.
II, on the other hand, his policies prove
an injury to the American people gener-
ally, those o! his supporters who DO not
belong to the ofiiceholding or privileged
classes vii suffer in common with those
who opposed him.
"The friends of bimetallism have not
been yanquishcl; they have simply been
overcome. They believe the gold stand
ard is a conspiracy of the money changers
against the welfare OF the human race
and until convinced OF their error VIII
continue a warfare against it.
''In spite of the efforts of the admins
tration and IFS supporters, in spite OF The
threats Of HE money lOaners at home and
abroad, in spite Of the coercion practiced
by corporations and employees, in spite OF
trusts and syndicateS, in spite of the enor-
nous Republican campaign funds, in
spite Of the influence of a hostile daily
press, bimeta. ism energies from the con-
test stronger than it was four months
ago"
He expressed thanks to the Dem ocratIc
Populist and Silver committees. He says
his defeat brings no feeling of personal
loss. For himself and wife he says they
find full compensation for what they have
done in the love OF millions of fellow cit
liens. lie calls on all silver clubs to re-
tain their organization, continue the study
of the tinanciH question, and be prepared
for a campaign again.

BIG FIRE IN DETROIT.
FiVe-Story Building Formerly Oc-
Cupied by the Free Press
will be a Total Loss.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 5.-The five
story building at the corner of Larned
and Shelby streets, formerly occupied by
the Free Press, is on fire and will be
completely Quilted. 1t is occupied by
number of job printing, book bindery and
stereotyping firms. The loss will be
heavy.
By 1 o'clock the fire had been COM
pletely controlled, but the contents Of
the building consisting of photographic
work and other costly materials had been
practically ruined by floods Of water.
The occupants are the job pfingting de-
partments of the Free Press company,
which occupied the first three floors; the
Habbin type foundry and the Cliff &
Higgins book bindery.
The fire was caused by a small explo-
sion of a lighted gas stove in an electro
tipping rooms on the fourth floor, the flames
communicating thence with some paraf-
fine and spreading amazingly. The total
loss is estimated at $4,000 with insur-
ance about half. The Free Press COM

JOSHUA DUzENBERRY's MEDIrAT1oNs

I've been thinkin' this thing over, and been
readin every line
What the silver folks has written, and at
present [ incline
To the sensible opinion that as long as bank
erS see
An advantage in gold dollars, they cannot
be good fer me.
And I won't touch food nor water while
the bankers drink and eat,
And I'll travel on my shoulders while they
walk upon their feet,
For I've come to the conclusion that what
they do l must not,
Or II surely come to sorrow and lose every
thing I've got.
I will cease to clothe my body till the pluto
Gratis go bare,
And until they shun the barber I will never
comb my hair;
[ will use my ears for seem, and I'll listen
with my eyes,
And whenever they do sO-and-so, why I'll do
otherwise.
And, Melissy, while the bankers are con-
tented with their wives,
You and | must take to liyin' widely sepa-
rated lives;
'Twont do fer me to ape them, so the silver
hate to throw you over, but there amt no
other way.
We're in need Of 'mancipatin', if I've got the
right idee,
And whatever rich men favor must, of
course, be bad for me;
If they want one kind Of money, l must
want some other kind
Bryan says we form two classes and the
line is we'll defined
So, I've joined the silver forces, and well
show them rich galoOts
How we can lift ourselves b'gosh, by the
straps upon our boots
When we get in we'll fix it so the streamsll
up hill,
And well have our flour double the wheat
we take to mill
There. Melissy stop your cryin'-there amt
no cause for it:
Don't look at me so scared like; I amt
quite crazy yit!
I've only been a-jOkin'-what if the bankers
do
Sometimes have cause to favor things that's
good for me and you?

No Issue.

Washington Press: Bryan shows that
he is a demagogue in these ways:
L. He says, to incite prejudice, if you
burn down all the cities, but leave the
farms, the cities will spring up as by
magic. The farm is all in all But
what is the farm without cities, that is.
markets? Nothing. One is as necessary
as the other, therefore there is no issue,
can be no issue.
2. He constantly sets employee against
employer, labor VS.. capital. But
capital is as necessary as labor and la
Dor as capital What can a workman do
if there is no one to pay him wages?
What can a producer do without work
men? There can be no issue between
two equally necessary things.
;. He rubs the ears Of the West and
South, as sections, as if they were dogs
and sets them on the East as a section
and yels, Sic! The East is 200 to $50
years old, and has saved money and is
rich, while the South was impoverished
by the war she brough on herself. and
the West is new, and both need capital
The East is as necessary to them as
they are to the East, yea, more so, for
the East could loan her surplus money
elsewhere. But to buy and open farms
make improvements, get stock, etc. the
West and South must have capital The
East loans it, but wants it paid back, in
as good money as it lent. Bryan gets
mad at this; wants to pay back half of
it and call it square, and Iyingly pre-
tends that farmers are as mean and dis
honest as himself Because the East
insists on being paid only its just dues
as stipulated, Bryan arrays two sections
against one. That's the breadth of his
manhood and Americanism. One section
needs the other, the one as much as the
other, hence there can be no issue. and
to make one shows that he is not only
demagogue but a repudiator and
scoundrel.
The farm needs the city, the city must
have the farm
The capitalist needs the workman. the
workman must find the moneyed man.
One section must have another. if only
to swap knives with. We are one coun-
try, we are brethren.
