ization and will respond if they
know our need, we are going to ask
the cooperation of the press in max
ing our needs known. What the
company needs most are new lock ers,
gun racks and a new property room,
the above having done service since
the company was organized in 1877,
and as can be imagined are greatly
the worse for wear. The reception
room also needs general refurnish-
ing. as the furniture has done service
almost as long as the lockers. The
state furnishes arms and equipment
expecting the organization to furn.
ish suitable and safe (6rst) gun racks,
(second) lockers, and (third) prop.

the press and people o; Rock Island
to lend us their aid.

ANOTHER DAY DEVOTED TO THE
BUCKEYE STATE BY MIR.
BRYAN.
IN MAJOR MKlNLEY'S COUNTY
ALLIANCE TURNED OUT GOOD
CROWD TO HEAR SILVER DE-
TENDED.
TOUR NOT AN uNnIxED SUCCESS.
Yellow badges Were Often Seen and
at Places There Were Cheers
for Mckinley.

TIFFIN, O., Oct. 20.-Mr. Bryan's
second day in Ohio, part of which
was spent in McKinley's home county,
was not an unmixed success. There
were good crowds and a number Of
hearty receptions, but yellow badges
were considerably in evidence, and at
some places the cheers for Mckinley
were quite as hearty as those for the
silver nominee in whose honor the dem
onstrations Of the day were arranged.
The afternoon was spent between
youngstown and Tiffin. Mr. Bryan re-
ceived flattering reception at Youngs-
town. When he arrived there at 1:20
he found the largest crowd he had
encountered during the day, his adj
mirers in Youngstown having their
numbers increased from the outlying
districts of Ohio and Pennsylvania
There were free silver clubs there from
Mcdonald, Pa, and from several points
in Ohio. There were several hundred
in line in the procession, and from the
depot to the places of speaking and
then back to the depot again, the nomi-
nee received continual ovation of ap-
plause and cheers. Mr.. Bryan spoke
three times in Youngstown, the first
being from the stand erected in the
public square, the next in the opera
house, where he addressed the women,
and the last near the Pennsylvania de-
pot, where spoke from the carriage. At
each OF the meetings the crowd was
large and enthusiastic

WELLESVILLE, O., Oct 20.-The
trip this morning Of Candidate Will
liam j. Bryan along the banks of the
Ohio, was punctuated with cheers for
his opponent and sandwiched in the
crowds were many badges Of that color
which indicated that the wearers were
not so friendly to the white metal as
they could have been. There was a
good crowd at Bellaire and it was an
enthusiastic one. Mr.. Bryan addressed
the men for fifteen minutes. At Bride
port, the wearers of the yellow badges
were numerous, but the shouters for
the triple nominee were strong enough
to drown the cheers for the Republi-
can candidate. Mr.. Bryan spoke to
the crowd of some hundreds for three
minutes. Martins Ferry turned out a.
crowd which was to a great extent
hostile to the views Of the candidate
There We're gold badges worn by large
portion of his audience and cheers for
Mckinley alternated with cheers for
Bryan. There were stops at Yorkville
and Brilliant. and at those places Mr.
Bryan simply appeared on the platform
and acknowledged the receptions given
him.
At steubenvil1e+ there was good
sized crowd gathered about the car
and in the rear some boys wearing
gold badges kept up a cheer for Nc
Kinley which Mr.. Bryan interpreted as
an attempt to break up the meeting
He referred to them in rather caustic
words. Several hundred people listen
ed to the nominee at Toronto. There
was more enthusiasm here than at any
other place of the morning, taking into
consideration the size Of the crowd.
Wellsvilie is in Maj McKinley's old
congressional district, and is Repub-
lican stronghold. That was apparent
when Mr.. Bryan arrived this morn
ing, for while he had a large crowd
it was made UP for the most part of
shouting, enthusiastic McKinleyites
Yellow also predominated at East Liv-
efpool. When shortly after 10 O'Clock
the Democratic nominee addressed a.
large crowd at that place. He had
trouble making himself heard because
Of the cheering for his opponent. Every
manifestation Of affection for the Re-
publican nominee was answered by de-
fiance, yells and cheers of the support
ers of the free silver champion.

section, man who is without stain, above
reproach and whom all fair-minded men
esteem, respect and honor and whose every
action in this campaign has been so patriotic
and manly as to challenge the admiration
of American manhood; and
Whereas, 1t is our belief that 1t is not only
the intention of the leaders of the Democratic
party of this state to defeat but, If possible,
to humiliate the Hon. Thomas E. Watson,
either by corrupt ballot as has been mani
tested in the Tenth congressional district,
or by partisan legislature setting aside the
will of the people and forcing Bryan and
Sewall electors on the state, even though
that ticket should run third in the election;
and
Whereas The silver-plated Democratic press
of the state has behttled and belied the can
didacy Of Mr.. Watson and issued this edict.
Therefore, be it
Resolved That, as a final effort to secure
the union of the silver forces to which the
Democratic party is committed and to test the
patriotism of our protested allies, we do now
withdraw the seven electors, and insist that
the Democratic party of Georgia withdraw
six of their electors, substituting the remain
ing six Populist electors with the understand
ing that the thirteen shall cast their vote for
Bryan and Watson. Be it further
Resolved, That il the Democratic party do
not accede to the foregoing just and reason
able proposition within five days from date,
then be it
Resolved, That our central committee is
authorized and empowered to withdraw, If ad-
visable, our remaining electors or re-instate
those that are now withdrawn and that we
concentrate every effort of party in the
election of our congressional nominee.
There was buzz following the read
ing Of the Populist proposition, which
indicated strong disapproval of it. The
speeches were all against it. In fact,
the resolution refusing the Populist
proposition was offered by none other
than Chairman Jones' personal repre-
sentative, who favored it yesterday but
who today claimed that he had been
under a. misrepresentation as to what
the PopuliSts wanted. He said he had
no idea when he came down here at
the suggestion of Chairman Jones that
the Populists wanted thirteen electors
for Watson.

Quoted as Proof of Financial
Change of Heart.

DENVER, Oct. 2O-The Rocky
Mountain News prints alleged cor
respondence between Hon. J. M. Down
ing, of Colorado, and Hon. J. H. Man
ley, of Maine, in July, 1893, to show that
the latter gentleman was at that time
opposed to the single gold standard
Mr.. Downing's letter was written July
%, and was prompted by an interview
printed in the Lewiston, Maine, Jour-
nal, July 10, in which Mr.. Manley said
that to repeal the Sherman law and
stop silver purchases would mean
financial ruin to the country tIIMf
Downing in his letter submitted to- MIR.
Manley that an action of a majority of
the Republican members in congress
in supporting President C1eveland,s eff
forts to secure the repeal of the Sher-
man law, was alternating the Repub-
icans in the states west of the Missouri
and he asserted that without their aid
the Republican party could never again
hope to gain the ascendancy in the ma
ton. He asked IL something could not
be done to reclaim the disaffected Re-
publicans of the silver states. Mr..
Man1ey replied as follows:
Augusta, Me-, July 81, 1893.-Hon. j. NJ
Downing Denver, Col.-My Dear Sir: am
in receipt Of your letter of the 22d inst. and
l thank you sincerely for the complimentary
words 1t contains. send you full copy of
the interview, and I propose to put myself
right on this question, whether the Republican
party does or not. l agree with you fully
to what ought to be done, but I think it
was a great mistake for the silver states to
have gone against the Republican party at
the last national election. While the Re-
publican party has not taken the position on
this question which / wish it had one thing
is sure, you never will get any help from the
Democratic party. and If any party dees take
the right position on this question, it will
be the Republican party. The Democratic
party never was and never will be a party
Of progress Our people must be educated
on this question and we must as a matter
of right and policy, establish our own financial
policy, and force the great nations of the
world to double standard. The day of the
single standard, either of gold or OF silver
is a thing of the past. j. H. Maaley.
