BRYAN TRIUMPH.
Long Guess, Says Bryan viii Carry
New York.


New York, Aug. 27.-The tour of
William Jennings Bryan through
New York State and Pennsylvania
has been one continuous ovation.
Many thousands of citizens have
cheeerd the Democratic candidate
and the utmost sympathy and en-
thusiasm for the free silver cause has
been shown.
The truth is the whole of the En-
pire State has cheered his doctrine
and given promise. of support. More
and more the belief grows, too, that
free silver will capture this State at
the November election. Senator
Murphy predicts this result. For
many years Senator Murphy has
prophesied on the elections, and never
yet went wrong. His opinion was
sought and given as above regarding
Bryan's chances in New York. SEN
ator Murphy never conducted but
one losing campaign, and he predict
ed that defeat.
All along the route of his journey
Mr.. Bryan delivered many short adj
dresses and some longer ones. The
demonstrations reached a climax at
Ellie, Pa, where the nominee made
three speeches to big crowds. Con-
servative estimates placed the crowds,
which heard Mr., Bryan at the various.
large towns as follows Albany, 90
900; Syracuse, 5000; Rochester, 49,
600; Dunkirk, 2, 500; Erie, 5000. .

Thos. A. Cage, the well-known
negro leader and politician of this
State, died at his home in New Or
leans last week. Tom Cage was a
remarkable man in many ways, and
possibly gave the Lily White Re-
publicans more trouble than all
the rest of the negro leaders in the
State, for the reason that he could
and would take control of party af-
fairs at his own sweet will. It is
said he has never been defeated.
Now that Gage is dead, the new
tangled band-box Republicans will
try to step into his shoes and con-
troll the party machinery.

To Help Sufferers by Drouth.

nothing but corn to our destitute
people, this will only keep the
gaunt wolf of starvation from their

OF this fact the CHRONICLE desires
to start public subscription, and
asks all who will to send in their
contributions, which will be pub

to invest the money in undershirts
and hosiery, and to give only to
the most destitute women and chill

The State committee appointed
by Gov. Foster to visit the west
and arrange for purchasing corn
for drouth sufferers have exhibited
so much energy and intelligence in
their efforts that the Governor has

has therefore retained the commit
tee, who have formulated a plan
and gone to work. We published
a circular letter from the commit
tee last week, outlining their plan,
and also a call from Representative
Stewart for a mass meeting to be
held by the citizens of Grant par
ish at Fairfield, Dec. 18th, to or
ganize and arrange for action in

tees request, namely, the appoint
ment OF a parish central committee

committee, and subcommittee in
the various wards, which are to re-

this My father came from the New

after sowing n crop of wheat by hand
cutting it with the cradle. binding il with
the rake. and threshing il with the ball
upon the floor. he put it upon wagon
and drove it to this city of Milwaukee.
ninety-six miles away, and sold il here
for 46 cents a bushel. This was in the
'5Os. and silver then was $1.30 an ounce
Now tell the silver men to explain to you
how it was that in the carly sos wheat
was 46 cents bushcl, and silver $1.30
an ounce. il the price of silver always
carries with II the price of wheat. And
when he hens and haws, say to him
st Is not only confined to wheat, but
that other commodity you yoke up with
silver. cotton; and tell him that for the
four years ending in 1915 cotton in the
city of New York averaged only cents
pound: and that for the four years
ending in 1894 the same class averaged
6 cents pound. Tell him to explain
that to you. That was when we had
free coinage and silver was then Sl.30
an ounce. He cannot explain it. That

stroys the whole silver heresy.-Con-
