GEN. HUNDLEY'S SPEECH
He Spoke For More Than Two Hours
Inst Night.

lIitSG INlPnC.
Gen. Geo. j. Hundley, of Amelia
county, member of the State executive
committees spoke at the city hall last
night to I'M appreciative audience. The
speaker was introduced by Roy b. Smith,
chairman of the city committee.
General Hundley is polished and en-.
tertaining speaker and held the closest at
tention of his audience during the entire
time. He began by saying that the great
issue which is now engrossing the minds
of the American people can be narrowed
down TO just three words: 'Manhood
against money" and when the brain and
Drawn and manhood of the country is ar
rayed in solid phalanX against the mo-
nopolists and trusts it was high time
that every man was allying himself on
the side of right and justice.
He spoke of having Travelled through
the State and had been in the cities and
among the farmers and he found that
the masses were deeply In earnest con-
corning this great question. In speak.
ing of the condition of the masses of the
people in the country he declared that
they were worse off to day than they were
after the close of the war In 1865
He went into the discussion of the
money question and gave the ancient his
tory of silver, it's intermediate history
down to its decentralization in 1878, and
its present condition. He spoke of the
greed of gain on the part of the few who
are seeking to pile up millions and mil
lions and keep the people in bondage as
the principal course of the striking down
one half of the legal tender money of the
country.
He disposed of the overproduction
theory of the opposition to the entire sat
tlsf., ion. .Af L..
the question of arraying the classes
against the masses, he showed beyond
any doubt that the so called classes are
responsible for the wide gulf between the
two. He said that there are in this
country something over 4 900 millionaires
and over 4, 900 900 people without homes
of their own. He then said that when
the Chicago platform was adopted, and
the people took the matter in hand, that
the Democratic millionares OF the Whit
ney stripe, left the party, and to-day the

A few of the gold bug Democrats are
going around telling the free silver con.
tingency of the party that after the cleo
ton of Mckinley that they, the gold bug
element, are going to take charge of the
old Democratic mansion and thoroughly
renovate and cleanse it. They expect to
scrape down the walls and repaper them:
clean up the floors and give them new
coat of paint; clean the passage ways and
light them up; wash down the cobwebs
and brighten the windows; decorate the
ceilings with gold and fill the closets with
golden ware; put in golden chandeliers
and light the old mansion with electric
lights of red, white and blue; have
bright fires burning; and when the free
silverites who wander away return to
the fold they will receive them with open
arms and due rejoicing with only one
thing to say which is: John, take thy
brothers. shoes off; they have been in the
mud;' then go to the cupboard and get
some mint and good old Bourbon rye and
give the prodgal n royal welcome to the

J. Bryan's special train arrived here at
lilo P. NJ, three hours late. The trip
from Cumberland to Keyser was made via
the Central tracks on account of broken
bridge on the B. and O.. road. The neces-
sity of changing back and disarranged
schedule caused the delay. Mr.. Bryan
addressed large and enthusiastic audiences
at Cumberland and Keyser. Ex-senator
Harry @. Davis, the father-in-law of Sena-
tor Elkins, introduced him to the crowd
gathered at Kevser in an open field in
in his speech referred to the ex-senator 3

Small crowds which showed great en-
thusiasm greeted Mr.. Bryan at Piedmont,

point touched by the B. and O. road in
the AIleghenies. Although the hour he
arrived here was so late Mr.. Bryan decided
not to disappoint the people who had
been waiting for him so long and made
them speech, after which he retired for
the night, preparatory to starting for
Clarksburg at 6 o'clock in the morning.
Pickpockets followed the Bryan train

crowds. Senator Faulkner lost his purse

HEALDSBURG, CAL, Sept. 30.-The
business thoroughfares of this city were
ablaze with the light of bonfires tonight,
and the town was thronged with country
folks who came from far and near to
listen to the speeches delivered bysI- A.
Barham, Republican nominee for Con-
gress, and W. r. Davis of Oakland. 1t
has been years since TRUTHS Opera house
held such large audience, and never be-
fore was more enthusiasm displayed at
political gathering. Men who grow wool
and raise stock came in from points
twenty or thirty miles away, and tonight
one would scarcely believe that Healds-
burg was once the Democratic stronghold
of Sonoma County.
A large number were unable to gain
admittance to the theater and when E. G.
Hall, president of the Republican club in
this place, called the meeting to order,
fully 100 people were crowded into the
building. The introduction of Barham
was the signal for great enthusiasm, and
as he proceeded to give an account of his
stewardship as a Congressman he was
frequently cheered. He spoke at length
on the financial issue, but said silver was
of minor importance when considered as
against tariff legislation.
What we want" he declared, sis to
give the farmer a market for his produce.
This we can do by giving the laborer en-
ployment. Let US put some of the money
we now have into circulation by starting
up mills and factories. Mckinley will do
this"
w. X. Davis closed the meeting in an
eloquent and logical speech.

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 30.-Concern-
ing the discussion of political questions
by California college and university pro-
fessors, especially in San Francisco, DR..
Jordan said:
II regret that circumstances seem to
have brought Stanford University promi-
nently into the political discussion. The
work of a teacher is investigation rather
than persuasion. No one has right to
speak for the university in any matter of
opinion, and each man as private citizen
is perfectly free to take any stand in
politics he may choose. So far as my per-
sonal views are concerned, do not believe
that National prosperity is waiting on
any legislation. Its elements are stability
of conditions and personal industry.
cannot see my way at present to favor free
coinage OF silver, and l am wholly op-
posed to any movement that tends to
range class against class in our country.
Just now my constituents arc all fur seals,
and they are all for protection"
DR.. Jordan is much surprised on his re-
turn from Bering Sea to find from vol
luminous correspondence awaiting him at
Seattle that many of his friends have
taken seriously an article in the last Pop
lar Science Monthly on "Sympaycho-
graph" The article, descriptive of
mental photograph of cat, was intended
simply as satire on the easy credulity of
the public concerning newspaper science,
if the subiect-matter is startling or un-
canny. 1t never occurred to the author
that any one could take the article seri-
ously. Roentgen's experiments and re-
suits are genuine, but the English imi-
tators referred to by DR.. Jordan were
self-deceived, and eager to see their names
in print. Mental photography, he AYERS,
is still myth.

Augusta Miller, the only daughter of ex-

bicycle party Monday evening met with
very serious injury. As the party was
passing through the village OF Mohawk
Miss Miller, who was riding fast, at
tempted to cross the trolley car tracks.
Her wheel struck wet and slippery place
and she was thrown violently to the
ground.
She was unconscious when carried into
the home of Rodney Weaver, near by,
and three doctors were summoned. They
found that she was badly bruised and cut
about the head, and it is feared injured in
ternally. She remained unconscious all
night and until late hour yesterday after
noon, when she revived for few mo-
ments, but could not speak. 1t is thought
she will recover.
Miss Miller is very enthusiastic wheel
woman, but has had several bad falls this
season, in one of which she dislocated hez
