There are certain supplies and
condiments that the man or woman
who intends to do such ohafipg dish
cookery without annoyance should
invest in. Though some OF them are
expensive in the beginning, they are
used in such small quantities that
they are IN reality not extravagant
for occasional dishes. Good curry
powder is often called for in many
recipes, so that you viii need a bot

ARDMoRE, FRIDAY, AUG. IA.
GREETING FROM THE WEST.

What could be more beautiful
than the eloquent perOration OF
Mr.. Bryan addressed to the
people of New York at the close |
of his speech of acceptance. It'll
1as a gem of OratOry and senti-
ment that compares with his
famous Chicago speech and is
worthy place alongside any
ever made on the American
continent.
1t is as follows:
Citizens Of New York: | have
travelled from the center of the
continent to the sea board that
I might, in the very beginning
of the campaign, bring you
greeting from the people out
west and south, and assure you
that their desire is not to de
stroy, but to build up. They
invite you to accept the prln-
ciples of a living faith rather
than listen to those who preach
gospel of despair and advise
endurance of the ills you have.
: The advocates of free coinage
\believe that, in striving to Sc
g<cure the immediate restoration
of bimetallism, they are labor
ing in your behalf, as well as in
their own behalf.
A few of your people may
prosper under present con-
ditions, but the permanent well
fare of New York rests upon
the producer Of wealth. The
great city is built on the COM
merce of the nation, and must
suffer if that commerce is i'm
paired. You cannot sell unless
the people have money with
which to buy, and they cannot
obtain the money with which to
buy unless they are able to sell
their products at remunerative
prices. Production of wealth
goes before the exchange of
wealth: You cannot afford to
join the money changers in
support of a financial policy
which, by destroying the pur-
<chasing power of the products
of toll, must in the end discour-
age the creation Of wealth.
| ask, | expect your cooper
alton. 1t is true that a few of
your fnanciers would fashion a
new figure-a figure represent
ing Columbia, her hands bound
fast with fetters of gold and her
face turned toward the east,
appealing for assistance to those
who live beyond the sea, but
this figure can never express
your idea of this nation. You
will rather turn for inspiration
to the heroic statue which
guards the entrance to your
city, a statue as patriotic in
conception as it is colossal in
proportions. 1t was the gracious
gift of a sister Republic and
stands upon a pedestal which
was built by the American peo-
pie. That fgure-Liberty En-

The Biggest Crowd of Strangers Ever
Assembled on the Streets of Wheeling.
The Arrival of the Delegstions-TraIns
All Hauling Extra Coaches, Crowded
to the Doors - Colds Bugs Efforts to
Make a Showing In the ThronE,
OF course. there was not at any time
any real danger of the Island sinking
under the weight Of humanity crowded
upon it, but Island people are to be
excused for feeling little apprehensive
as they went from the city at six
o'clock.
They saw the streets crowded so that
it was next 10 impossible to get along
the sidewalks, and knew that only the
advance guard OF the throng had ar
rived.
Big fair days. and the crowds which
were in the city at the time of the
great soldiers reunion ten years ago,
were the only things with which the
increase in the city's population could
be compared even at this early hour,
with ten times as many more people to
come later.
They began coming as early as seven
O'Clock in the morning and from that
time I'll eight in the evening every train
brought in hundreds Of people. Every
,rain on every railroad carried from
four to six extra coaches, and as result,
almost every train was delayed.
Tley came from every quarter. The
Baltimore * Ohio brought in more peO-
hoaanso h0c mara
mileage to draw from, but the communi-
ties along its lines were not more fully
represented than those along other
roads.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie began
carrying excursionists TO the city early
in the morning. and from that time till
night. every train was crowded. They
came from all points for fifty miles, and
among the hundreds who arrived were
marching clubs. and organizations not
drilled. from country towns and ham
lets. The Panhandle trains did not
carry so many in the early part Of the
dav. but as the afternoon wore on, peO-
pie from all points along the lines this
side of Pit,sburg began to pour in till,
when nGht settled down, nearly as
many people had been landed as by the
main line of the Baltimore & Ohio. The
cleveland & Pittsburg railroad carried
extra coaches on all trains. and from
morning till dark the street cars from
Bridgeport were crowded after every ar
rival. while fully as many came on foot
across the Island The Cleveland, LO-
ran & Wheeling railroad also brought
N large delegations. every town along
-be line from Uhrichsville sending its
quota.
The arrangement of the Baltimore &
Ohio's lines on account of the storm,
cut in the State, put trains in bad
shaps. but when they did arrive they
were all packed. The crowd on this di-
vision was lighter than it would have
been. had not so many from Fairmont
and towns beyond that point met the
nominee at Grafton and Clarksburg. In

The local Reception Committee left the
city yesterday afternoon at $40. over the

When. upon entering our city, you glance
ont uuon the earnest. happy humanity
that will greet you. you will be forced to
realize again that you and the great cause
Won represent have been deserted by
everybody-except the people. Your stout
brave heart. steeled by the virtue of your
cause. has attracted TO your standard all
classes of our fellow citizens. The labor
or and tiller of the soil will be there to
welcome YOU. for they believed in you
when said YOU could and would save them

merchant, the broker. the banker and
manufacturer will also be there to greet
YOU. for they too have been forced to be-
lieve YOU when you assert that the res
toration of the money of the Constitution
will start a wholesome, lasting, prosper
GUS impetus among the producing and Ia
boring masses that will inevitably find its
way to and stamp itself upon all classes
of wealth and industry. on behalf OF
these people who. knowing the right dare
maintain it-on behalf Of our fellow citi-
zens whose personal interests you have
made YOUR own-citizens who know that
uppermost in your mind and heart are
obedience to law, honor, courage and de-
votion to liberty, we welcome you to the

The members Of the party were then
presented 10 Mr.. Bryan individually, and
the train resumed its progress towards

gan to appear about six o'clock, and
by half-past six both organiza-
tons were largely represented. The
Bryan Silver Club appeared in their
white I Informs for the first time, and
with their n0bby badges presented an
out-of-sight appearance. A band was
stationed outside the central headquar-
tiers throughout the early portion Of
the evening, and its music added 10 the
spirit Of the scene.
The picture presented at the Peabody
building was duplicated upon smaller
scale at each Of the other headquarters.
. The Washington district club had big
crowd at the Seventh and Main streets
headquarters. there was another throng
at the Beabout building on Wood street,
in Union district, still another at the old
