My friends, if you lei.evc in free silver,
II you EelieA e in the mol.ey of the consti-
tuition, if you believe in an independent
financial policy for the American people,
you have got to have not only president
but IL senate and a house of representa-
tives. Cheers and cries of "Towne,
Townc.' No bill can become a law un-
til it is signed by the president, and no
bill can be signed by the president until it
has passed both houses. Then if you are in
earnest l want you to be just as earnest to
senda congressman who isall right, as YOU
are to elect president You have q
splendid opportunity in this district. In
these latter days have found 80 many
bad Democrats and SO many good Repub-
licans that have found that Republican
who is right is agreat deal better than a
Democrat who Is wrong. Great applause. |
OF all the Republicans who are acting
with us in this campaign, there Is not one
who deserves more credit than that dis

Why my friends, would rather have one
man like Towne, who Is Republican,
with us than to have sixteen of the Demo-
Gratis whom we have driven out of the

Expeditions Go Out In Spite of Uncle

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. l3-Not-
withstanding reports to the contrary,
no actual information has been re-
ceived here of the alleged tilibustering
tug Dauntless succeeding in landing its
cargo on Cuban shores, although it had
had time to do so since it left Palm
Beach last Friday night. The Daunt-
less, when she left here, it is believed,
undoubtedly started on another filibus-
tering expedition and government
officials in Jacksonville say they will
make it hot for the little boat when it
returns. The cruiser New York has
just returned off the St. Johns bar, and
resumes its vigilance over filibusterers.

believed among the leading Catholic
clergy of this city that Bishop Horst.
man of the Cleveland diocese will be
rendered the appointment Of rector Of
the Catholic university at Washington,
made vacant by the resignation Of
Bishop Keane. The bishop, who is at
present in the East, has as yet given
out nothing concerning his appoint
ment, but it is said that he is the choice
of the pope, and that his visit in the
East is for the necessary arrang ements
for taking on his new duties.

POSTAL BUSINESS POOR.
Falling or Of s1,5OO,OOO for the Last

Falling or Of s1,5Oo, 900 for the Last
Quarter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l4.-The effect Of
the political agitation upon business is
indicated by the falling off in postal re-
ceipts for the quarter ending Sept. 80.
There is a falling off of $500, 900 as
compared with the quarter ending in
June and s6s, 900 as compared with the
quarter ending Sept. so of last year
While the loss is not large for the last
quarter as compared with the corre-
spending quarter of 1895, it has taken
place in the face of the fact that the
postal revenue increases more rapidly
than population in previous years and
and that there should have been an
increase Of nearly $l,OOO,O00 under
normal conditions.

Mr.. Bryan said, in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Sometimes I
find persons who are in the condition Of a
gentleman described out in Nebraska. A
lady down there said she had brother
who was gold man without any gold.
Great laughter. You talk to Republi-
can about bimetallism and he will tell
you he is just as good a bimetalist
as anybody, but when you come
to see what kind of paper they
print their badges on, you will find 1t is
yellow. Applause and laughter My
friends, the Lord has made 1t impossible
er a man to conceal his real identity.
Applause When you find a man who
talks about liking both metals and who is
u gold standard man, you will find that
his yellow will crop out on all occa-
sions. Laughter.l And most Of them
are in the condition Of the man in Nebras-
ka, being gold men without any gold
Laughter Our friends tell us that gold
is the only good money, and yet they can't
get the gold when they want 1t. Our op
ponents say the real reason why gold is sc
scarce now is because there is agitation
about silver. Laughter.
Alive Enough to Scare Gold.
They are telling us that the silver craze
Is dying out and yet 1t is so much alive
that it has scared the gold out. Applause
and laughter. My friends, isn't it a frai
financial system that crumbles in tn,
presence of discussion? Great applause.
| Isn't the gold standard a failure If it cam

us silver we will give them a foundation
that won't skip out the moment you tall
about the gold standard.
No party in this nation ever said tha
the gold standard was a good thing. NJ
platform ever said it was a good thing, bu

standard advocates dare not proclaim th'
results Of the policy they advocate
Let them instead of wearing yellow

for the holding of a congress Of represent

to define and indorsc the Monroe doctrine
and to establish closer commercial and
political relations between them is rapidly
taking form. The Ecuadorian minister
here, Senior Carlo, has addressed a circu-

fairs Of Ecuador to the ministers of all of
the nations OF Central and South Amer.
lea, intended for transmission to their re-
spective foreign offices.
a copy was delivered also to Secretary
Olncy, for it is expected that the United
States certainly will! be represented, as it
was in the Pan-Amercan congress. 1t is
stated by Senor Carbo that while the City
of Mexico Is suggested in the circular as
the proper place Of meeting, it does not
follow that the congress eventually will
be held there. for the first opportunity
will be offered the nations invited to ex-
press their preferences in the matter Of a
meeting place, and it may be that the
city OF Washington will be selected. The
circular states the purposes of the pro-
posed congress in general terms.

Accounts, but Maceo Gets Away.
HAVANA, Feb. "a detailed official re-
port has been received of an important
engagement that took place at Consola.
cion del Sur, cast Of the city of Pinar del
Rio, between the Spanish forces under
General Luque and the insurgents under
Antonio Maceo. The loss of the insur-
gents is reported to be sixty-two killed
and over 200 wounded. The battle
was fiercely contested and the
advantage is claimed to be all
on the side Of the Spanish. But it is
significant that Maceo's forces, instead of
being turned back to the westward, pro-
cccded on their way towards Havana
province after the battle.
The continued activity of the insur-
gents all over the island is indicated by
the large number of refugees, whole fam
lilies making for the towns to escape the
violence Of the insurgents in the country
districts. 1t is alleged that wandering
bands ire burning indiscrimi1ately and
hanging almost any one they lay hands
on. In the last few days it is reported
that they have killed several countrymen
who attempted to defend their property.

UNLooKED-FoR PLEA IN A CASE.

Contracts with the Engineers Brotherhood
Against Public Policy.
MEMPHIS, Feb. 5.-In the case of Charles
II. johnson against the Iron Mountain
Railroad company, on trial here, quite an
unlooked-for point was made by the rail-
road company. Johnson's suit is brought
under a contract made by the road with
the engineers employed on its lines, but it
is understood that the contract was ef-
fected really with the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers.
The contract provides that no engineer
shall be discharged without just cause
and stipulates that if he is discharged he
shall have an investigation by a commit
tee composed of an engineer and two Off
GERS of the company. The railroads at.
torney insists that the contract is void, as
contrary to public policy. 1t is understood
that contracts similar to this have been
made with nearly all of the eastern and
western roads and the decision is calcu.
lated to brew storm in railroad circles.
