 It took just one hour for Mir. liar. vey, who is a regular depositer of the Metropolitan National, to induce the paying teller of the bank to hand out the gold, and the demand of the author of Coin finally had to be be backed up by an order from Cashier Hitchcock of the bank.
 MT. Harvey went into the bank with his private seet etary, Miss Josie Hix, and a canvass sack for his money. He made out a check

 CHICAGO, Sept. 8.--In quiet and un- ostentatious manner Bryan left Milwau- kee Monday. There was no demonstra- tion of any kind on account of the fact that the Milwaukee papers stated that the hour of leaving would be 10 80 when the train pulled out at 2 :l5. The candidate was accompanied on the trip by ex-Governor Peck. There were about 100 people to meet the party at Chicago, but those who were present eheered lustily. The nominee was im- mediately d,iven to his hotel. He will address a labor meeting here this after noon.
 The labor organizations of Chicago celebrated Labor day with parade in which 10000 participated Practically every trades union in the city was rep. represented. The chief attraction of the day was the speech of William J. Brsa at Sharpshooters' park in the af- ternoon.

 The paying teller took the check and looked to see if it was indorsed.
 q want the whole amountin gold, if you please, said MT. Harvey.
 The paying teller leaned against the screen and gave evidence of fainting.
 FOR AN "oBJEcT LESSON
 "Gold, did you say, Mr. Harvey? Gold? What on earth do you want with gold? Why, we cant let you have g, 300 worth of gold. We are not paying out gold on checks now. 7"
 70, I only wanted to use it as an object lesson, said MT. Harvey.
 ''Well, that's just what we want to keep it for, replied the teller.
 Mr Harvey spent about thirty minutes arguing with the paying teller, while a number of the banks patrons watched the "obiect lessor" from the corridors of the bank, or went home to talk about it.
 Finally, the man who wrote Coin" appealed to Cashier Hitchcock. He wanted to put the money in safe deposit box, he said, but only as another object lesson to the people. After long talk in the private of fee of the cashier, Mir Harvey was seen to present an order to the teller to pay the amount in gold.
 PLANTS IT IN A VAULT.
 Two minutes later he and his pri- vate secretary were hurrying from the Metropolitan Bank, on La Sale street, to the First National Bank, on Dear born street, and soon after the gold was locked up in MT. liar vey's strong box in the safe deposit department.
 Then the man who wrote Coin went home, feeling that part, at least, of the money that he had made from the sale of his book was safe against a possible panic.
 MT. Harvey could not be founo last night, but his private secretary Miss Hix, said the money was drawf out so it could be shown to the peo pie.

But Few Republicans Voted and a Short Turn Out Among the
 Democrats.
The Entire Straight Democratic Ticket Elected. For License Goes Through with Safe
 Majority.

Yesterdays election in this county was the quietest ever known.
 It was the smallest vote polled in Jefferson county in a general election since the war.
 But few Republicans voted at ail, while the Democrats did not poll their usual strength.
 From all parts of the county come reports of a quiet election. With the exception of a slight dis. turbance at the First Ward polls in this city, there were no disturbances whatever throughout the county.
 Notwithstanding the vigorous campaign made by Republican lead CTS. the black masses. (those who had even paid their poll taxes1 scarcely turned out at all. Here and there was an occasional colored vote, but the majority of colored voters re- mained away from the polls. A re- markable feature of it all is that even the white Republicans did not poll more than half of their voting strength.
 The entire straight Democratic ticket was overwhelmingly elected. Democratic officers were even elected in all of the townships, with the ex- ception of Bogy and Victoria. which went Republican by a small major ity.
 There was considerable apprehen- sion and anxiety yesterday and last night among the whisky men lest the county should go dry" but the returns show that "For License has carried by safe majority.
