POLITICAL NOTES.
A dispatch from Washington to 6

A dispatch from Washington to re-
publican paper says: Neither party
will permit kentucky to go by default.
General Buckner, the vice presidential
candidate on the Indianapolis ticket,
will make very lively campaign, os.
tensibly for the Palmer-Buck ner ticket,
but in reality, of course, for Mr.. Nc
Kinley. He will be joined shortly by
Secretary Carlisle, who will make 8
sound money campaign, leaving it to
his hearers either to vote fer Palmer
and Buckner or to adopt the only sensi-
bic course OF voting straight republi-
can ticket. The democrats will send
Senator Teller into Kentucky to break,
as far as possible, the influence which
the democratic Secretary of the Treas
ury still exerts il his own State.
As stated yesterday the branch head
quarters OF the national democratic
committee in Washington have been
closed, and such business pertaining to
the national committee as is transacted
from that point will be carried on under
the supervision of Senator Faulkner,
chairman OF the Congressional commit
tee.
The New York State committee of
the peoples party is ready to nominate
fer Governor straight out and out
silver democrat if John Boyd Thacher
does not withdraw his candidacy.
On his way yesterday from Philadel-
phia TO Brooklyn Mr. Bryan was warm
~ greeted and made several speeches.
An extensive speech was made at
Washington, il which Mr.. Bryan said ::
III you want to know how the money
question can concern you, you find out
how it concerns those who have been
in the habit Of preying upon the public.
Applause. If the money question is
20 important to the syndicates OF this
country that they can subscribe to the
fund TO use in this campaign, the peo-
pie understand that there must be
something in it for the syndicates or
they would hardly be 80 liberal in this
campaign.
There has, perhaps, never been such
significant demonstration for Mr..
Bryan in the East as that given last
night at the Clermont Rink in Brooklyn
oy the con- bined labor interests. The
capacity of the building was estimated
at 5000 and every available corner was
filled with good-natured humanity, while
thousands besieged the doors and were
refused admission. Instead of the for
NAL introduction nominating presid
ing officer clean.cut man with gray
hair stepped TO the front OF the plat.
form shortly before eight o'clock and
said "Will the audience please take
from their seats the song that is there
and join in singing it," and they re-
sponded so heartily that the refrain.
You Shall Not Press the Crown Of
Thorns Upon the Toiler's Brow" rang
against the unpainted rafters and re
echoed again and again, and when it
was flashed, mighty cheer went up.
The meeting was presided over entirely
oy labor organizations, and the stage
contained q representative from each
local labor organization. Mr.. Bryan
discussed federal powers and the de-
cision on the income tax. he also made
use Of some of Samuel ]. Tlden's Ian
guage. Judge Gaynor presided ct the
meeting.
Tamnany Hall, through its general
committee, declarged itself last night
in most unequivocal terms in favor Of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and all the other policies advocated in
the Chicago platform.
