that, though he has one hundred thou
sand dollars worth of real estate,
though his credit as business man is
recognized as excellent, and though he
will guarantee net profit of from ten
to fifty per cent. on the investment in
business enterprise, he finds it impossi-
BILE either in this city or Baltimore to
raise So, 900, the amount requisite Tor
commencing operations, the money
holders proferring to lend it at low
rates on bonds. He says there must be
something wrong where sucha condition
exists. and that if the free coinage Of
silver will correct the evil and put
money in circulation, he is not opposed
TO it. He also says that the working
men in his city are all in favor of silver.
People from Fauquier county, Vir-
ginia, here to-day, say that at the
democratic primaries in that county last
Saturday, twenty-five, of the twenty
eight, delegates to which the county is
entitled in the democratic COMPRESSION
al convention of that, the Sth district,
elected, are in favor OF Mr.. Rlxey, OF
Culpeper county, who has now Is ofthe
So votes necessary to secure the nomi-
nation. People from Warren county,
in the eth district of the same State,
say that on the same day the democrats
| OF that county elected Hay delegates to
their district convention, and that Mr..
| Hay is now sure Of the nomination and
also Of election.
That the faith of Mr.. John Mclean
in the success of the free silver cause
is strong indeed, is proved by the fact
that he has made bet OF ten thousand
to eight thousand dollars that Bryan
will carry the State of Ohio.
The superintendent of large and
important line of transportation here,
who has worked his way up to mis- po-
sition by industry, fidelity and brains,
and who though ouce republican is
now non partisan, says the rich cor
porations, trusts, banks and monopo-
lies have set the people against them,
and that if the democratic platform
were even ranker that it is, as the rich
have needlessly drawn the line against
the poor, the latter will vote against
the former, and therefore he believes
Bryan will be elected by an over.
whelming majority, and that that ma
jority will come from the North as
we'll as from the West and South.
A Michigan democrat here to-day or
business with the Treasury Department
says the talk he hears in this city about
bolt in his State amounts to nothing
and that republicans as well as demo
Gratis will elect the silver ticket there
by large majority.
Congressman w. j. Bailey, of Texas
denies the report that he will bolt the
ticket nominated at Chicago. He as
serts on the contrary that he will give
it his earnest support. He believes
that Bryan will be elected.
Mr.. Bryan when in Congress spent
most of his time with his friend, Mr.
C. OBJ. Bryant, who lives near the
crossing of the Bladensburg and Brooke
vile roads, near this city. He will, il
is said, be In the East during consid
cradle part of the campaign. When he
went away from here his little daugh
tiers left some Of their hair ribbons al
Mr.. Bryaut's house. On Saturday
morning Bryan flag was raised at the
cross roads referred to, and on it those
ribbons were stitched.

one ofthe women, in Armenian costume
repeated her well worn tale OF woe
about the alleged outrages the un-
,peakable Turks perpetrate upon her
people. Evangelist Mills denounced
he President and his cabinet for not
Interfering in behalf of the Armenians,
md said they were 'unpatriotic, I'M
democratic, uurepublican, unAmerican,
lnchristian, selfish, weak and criminal
n the eyes of the American people and
If God and all men. Every
word of this was greeted. by
oud cheers. Men and women
IN the platform behind him and CD
he benches before him rose and shout
ID their hearty approval of the de-
annexation of President Cleveland.
In the midst of the solemn
charge of cowardice and disloyalty
eveled at the chief executive, the Sec
rotary of State and the American min
ster, the whole audience arose spon-
taneously, waving flags and banners
and crying aloud their approval. Rev.
Hoyt, who presided, arose in
his seat beside the speaker and called
upon the audience to reaffirm the
charge. Again came the six cheers
with hearty enthusiasm. 81 hope the
response will echo through the White
House and extend to Buzzards Bay"
cried Mr.. Mills as he took his seat.
The convention will close its business
sessions tonight. Tomorrow there
will be service of song and praise at

votes in the convention, and Messrs.
NJ. w. B. Pettett, ]. j. Allen, Judge
billiard and Judge Kirkpatrick will
probably get the votes of their respec-
