CONNECTICUT REPUBLICANS.
Speech by Hon. George Mclean at the
State Convention.

HARTFORD. Conn, Sept. 1.-The State
Republican convention for the purpose OF
nominating State officers and presidential
electors opened this evening, and the pre-
liminary work incidental to the permanent
organization of the convention was COM
pleted. after which an adjournment was
taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The city is crowded with visitors, many
of the most prominent Republicans of the
State being here. There were few vacant
seats when o. r. Fyler. chairman of the
State central committee, called the conven-
ton to order. Temporary Chairman Hon.
George Mclean delivered an address. Mr..
Mclean said that the keynote of 1896 had
been sounded. and it might be too soon to
sound the key-note of 1900. but still I
think" said he, 1.-The American people do
not believe that the mission of the Repub-
iican party will end with the victory of
1856 He thought the Republican party
should turn it's attention to those who said,
81 believe that Mr.. Bryan is a true proph-
ct" I'VE can never convert the South
he continued. by reverberating the old
stage thunder of the Republican party. 1t
will not avail us much to tell the Nebraska
farmer that what he needs is less oratory
and more water. If the men that believe
in free silver are selfish. so are we. We
want and they want the same thing
money. We want to get it honestly; they
say they do. We must appeal. not to their
patriotisn. but to the cold logic of their
own cupidity.'
Mr.. McLean said Mr.. Bryan contended in
the East that gold would not go to q pre-
MUM. No pickpocket in history he
said, ever took such risks, but he knows
ne must take them. He knows that unless
Lis administration can double the value Of
the silver product his promises will fail"
Mr.. Bryan'a contention, he declared, was ia
defiance of history, nature and reason. Mr..
Mclean said that on the other hand in the
West it was claimed that as the price of
wheat is fixed in London in gold. the debt
paying power of American wheat would be
doubled. THE Republican party said he.
advises the Western mortgageor and
wheat grower to consider this promise in
the halo of their own utter self1shneSS. Dis
honesty will not cure their disease" Mr..
Mclean said the law of supply ard demand
must be obeyed, and that Mr.. Bryan's ad-
ministration could not measure the value of
a commodity by law. Mr.. Mclean pictured
the distress, Reputation end dishonesty
which he said would result from free-coin-
age legislation. He urged his hearers not to
forget that the earning power of capital
has decreased onc-third in the last quarter
of Il century. and that wages have in
creased one-third nominally and doubled in
purchasing DOWer.'

Straits.

BEATRICE, Neb., Sept. 1.-The First
National Bank of this city was forced to
close its doors this afternoon. The failure
was a complete surprise to the general
public, although it appears several heavy
Withdrawals We're made the last few days.
The cause of the failure is attributed to
the continuous crop failures of the last
four years. coupled with steady withdraw
ais of deposits by customers to meet cur
rent obligations and the banks inability
to secure assistance in the East, which is
charged to the present strained financial
conditions there.
The liabilities of the bank to deDositors
had been reduced to about $4,000, while
the assets are in excess of $3.50, 90. The
capita stock is s100, 600; surplus and undi-
vided profits. $50, 900. Following the failure
the officers made voluntary conveyances to
the bank of all their real estate. including
their handsome residences. This failure car
ries with it the Beatrice Savings Bank,
with deposits of about $290, 600. 1t IS thought
a reorganization viii be effected.

missionary societies, represented by
thirty ministers headed by Rev. DR..
F. F. Ellinwood, called on Ii
Hung Chang to-day and presented
him with an address thanking MIN for his
interest in the missionaries in China. The
address. which is quite long. says that for
fifty years the missionaries of the Amer
lean boards have been favored with the
protection of the Chinese government and
thai in no nation in the world nave Ameri-
can missionaries received more just and
even generous treatment than in China.
The address, after thanking Earl Ii for a
proclamation in behalf of the missionaries
issued by him in 1851. says that il is ex-
tremely gratifying TO observe that at the
present time the disinterested spirit of the
missionaries seems 10 be better understood
and more appreciated in China than ever
before. The address refers to the work in
behalf of Chinese in this country and says
that were Earl Ii to visit the Pacific
coast he would see the homes and refugees

the expression of satisfaction that the

COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 1.-The free-silver

mark in Cleveland last night, but the out
pouring of people to see and hear the Dem
ocratic presidential candidate at the State
capital tonight was greater in proportion
to the size of the city than that in the

ago. when so per cent. more people were
gathered A rooted and flag-draped plat
form faced the eastern front of the Capitol
building, and as Mr.. Bryan looked down
from it's height, twenty feet above the
street. he saw the steps and terraces
packed in solid rows. with the gloomy stone
wall for the background, while about the
other three sides of the stage, across the
lawn of several acres to the street beyond,
stood regiments of which an accurate esti-
mate was an impossibility and which a
careful guess, would place at thirty thou

Capitol building an hour before the candi-
dates arrival one saw the whole place

piled in its intensity announced his arrival
in wave after wave throughout his speech.
On account of the size of his audience Mr..
Bryan adopted a novel method of speak
ing, talking to sections of the crowd alter
nately from each of the four sides of the
platform. Even then not more than a
tenth of the people could hear him. He
was introduced by Hon. Allen G.. Thurman,
son of the "Old Roman who has been
lighting for free silver in Ohio for several
years, and after the candidates speech the

Speech by Chairman Hill at the Open
ing Session OF the Connection
Republican Convention

CANTON, o., Sept. IA party of eighty
six editors of the Republican Press Asso-
citation OF West Virginia reached Canton
at 1880 to-day. They were headed by Pres
ident P. ". Morris, of Parisville, Secretary
W.. Hurst Curry, of GAINESVILLE, and sec
rotary of the Republican State committee.
The mountaineer editors have good
healthy lungs. When the party called on
Major Mckinley at 3 o'clock this afternoon
several hundred people Joined in the gath
ering. Everybody was enthusiastic, and
the delegation %applauded nearly every sem
tence Major Mckinley spoke. The pre-
sentation of the Press Association by Mr..
P. W. Morris was unusually witty and en-
tertaining. He said:
was such a one as to make you dear to
West Virginia people, and causes West
Virginia Republicans, with other reasons,
to believe you are the most suitable man
in all this land for President. A tariff bill
that at once brings in sufficient revenue to
support every proper need of the govern
ment, and properly protects American in
d~uStries, is what West Virginia desires,
and such a bill was the one that bore your
name. The reason for all this is not hard
70 find. 1t is because West Virginia has
for the world, and iron ore in vast quanti-
ties; has great forests, and sheep and cat
tie upon a thousand hills; has fertile val
leys and rich hiNSides. Without protection
our vast natural wealth is chained and
helpless"

BRITAIN'S WAR FLEET
SUDDENLY SENT FROM THE ISLAND
OF MALTA TO THE LEVANT.
Fourteen Ships On the Way-Thcir
Movements Connected, by Rumor,
with Events in Turkey.

LONDON, Sept. 1--Soine excitement was
caused here to-day by "a dispatch from
Valetta, Island of Malta, which stated that
the battleships Families and Trafalgar,
hagships of the British Mediterranean
squadrons. and twelve other British war
ships, had started for the LeVant. 1t was
supposed that the movements OF the fleet
had something to do with the recent atroc-
tiles by Turks in Constantinople. but no
confirmation of that rumor could be OBJ
tanned.
Quiet now prevails in Constantinople,
and it is hoped that the danger of further
rioting has passed. The Turkish officials
are continuing the work of clearing the
khans of the Armenians who have been
hidden therein and the foreign consuls are
supervising this work in order TO see that
the conditions prescribed by the represent
atives of the powers are carried out.
These conditions provide that the consuls
must consent to the entry of the houses,
but no ATmenians can be arrested without
the consent OF the consuls and all arms
and explosives will he handed over to the
government. This search of the houses OF
foreigners is irritating. but it is consid-
cred necessary if the return to anarchy Is
to be prevented.
