MADISON, Wis., Oct. 3O-Mr Bryan today
gave out the following statement:
l have not attempted to answer all of the
misrepresentation which have been circulated
In this campaign, but in these closing days
feel that it is necessary to call attention
TO an attack which has been recently made by
the enemy. I find that the Republicans arc
circulating among Catholic citizens the charge
tnat am, or have been, a member of the
american Protective association. | have also
learned that have been accused of being 4
member Of a society which l think is known
as the Junior Order Of American Mechanics.
AT the same time | have been accused in
other quarters of being opposed to the public
school system and Of having voted against the
teaching OF the English language in the public
schools Of New Mexico. While l have at
tempted to confine my discussion of public
issues to the questions raised by my plat
form, and have considered the money ques-
ton as paramount to all Others / take this
opportunity to explain my position upon the
religious controversy which has been raised.
am not and never have been member
of the American Protective association or of
the Junior Order of American Mechanics. or
OF any other society hostile to any church.
religion or race nor have / ever applied for
membership in any such organization. While
/ am a member of the Presbyterian church,
i have always believed that there should be
no religious test applied in the holding of
public office. | am a believer in the public
school system. l attended public schools
While recognize the rights Of parents to
send their children to private schools and
colleges IL they desire, l believe that the
great public school must remain a part of our
system of government in order that the means
of education shall be within the reach of
every child in the land.
The Democratic members Of congress voted
against a proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton OF New Mexico which compelled the
teaching of the English language in the pub
lie schools, not because the Democrats were
opposed to the public schools or to the teach
ing OF the English language in such schools,
but because they did not deem it necessary
or wise to require a pledge of the people Of
New Mexico which had not been required of
the people Of other territories seeking admis-
sion. trust that those who support the
policies set forth in the Democratic platform
will not allow themselves to be alienated from
my support by any affidavits which may be
circulated by my political enemies. l have
tried so far as I could to conduct this cam
paign in an open and honorable way. and
have insisted that those who are with us
should refrain from personal criticism of my
opponent and leave the people to pass judg-
ment upon the principles which we represent.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 30.-Mr. Bryan
today invaded Wisconsin for the first
serious effort Of his campaign in the
smaller cities of the state He devoted
his whole day to the work and deliv-
cred addresses at Green Bay, Depere,
Kaukauna, Appleton, Neenah and
Menasha, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Ches-
ter. Juneau, Watertown. jefferson, Fort
Atkinson, GAINESVILLE, Evansville and
Madison. None of them was Of more
than thirty minutes duration except
the addresses which were made at night
at Madison. All except the Madison
speeches were made from the rear plat
form of his special car.
This arrangement proved of immense
benefit to Mr.. Bryan physically, saving
HON the wear and tear Of making his
way back and forth through immense
crowds Of people eager 70 press close
to him, and also in saving time. From
almost the beginning of today's tour
the train ran ahead Of time, bringing.
Mr.. Bryan into Madison in time to be-
gin his speech in advance of the hour
scheduled for his appearance.
There was no Semblance of disturb
ance at any place until GAINESVILLE was
reached, though it was apparent from
the display Of yellow badges in many
places, that his audiences were not en-
tirely in sympathy with him. Still
there was respectful attention even on
the part of those, who wore the colors
of the opposition and the silver men
were at all places demonstrative.
There were threeSspeeches planned
for the nominee at this place, but owing
to the arrival of Mr.. Bryan at an earlier
hour than was anticipated and a mis-
understanding on the part of the COM
mittee, one of them had to be dropped.
At the gymnasium a large crowd heard
the candidate, although he arrived this
much ahead of times The other meet
ing was in the assembly chamber and
the room was packed with an enthu-
siastic audience. Il =
Mr.. Bryan left tonight for Iowa. Be-
ginning at Mount Pleasant at Z o'clock
tomorrow morning he will speak in
that state throughout the day and in
the evening will deliver addresses in
Council Bluffs.

Repudiated, Among Other Things,
by One of the Principal Speakers
of the Evening.

NEW YORK, Oct 30.-An immense
throng turned out tonight to attend
the last great demonstration Of the
laboring classes of this city in favor Of
Bryan and free silver in the Cooper
Union auditorium. The meeting was
under the auspices of the labor con-
ference, which is composed of 100 labor
and other organizations. Henry O..
Cole, of the brickmakers' union, pre-
sided. The first speaker was John S.
Winton. He said:
We believe in the American flag and in
William ]. Bryan. We believe in the United
States, In the federal constitution, fairly con-
strued; in the right of the state, in the ballot
box and in Bryan. We believe In law and
order and in Bryan. We believe in sound
money and in Bryan. We believe in bimetal-
lieve in the declaration Of independence Of
1776. which bears the name of Jefferson and
in the declaration of independence for 1885,
which bears the name of Bryan. We believe
in revolutionary forefathers, in the sons

We repudiate those relics of barbarism Nc
kinleyism and Clevelandism. We repudiate
Carlisle and his bond jobbery We repud ate
anarchyism and militarism. We repudiate the
pagan clergy who worship God We repudiate
all f1re eaters, Hbelers, demagogues fanatics
ana Wall street gamblers. We are opposed
10 coercion and government by the bayonet
we are opposed to that dogma Of despotism, the
infallibility of the supreme court, as illus
trated by Justice Shiras, the fellow who
changed his mind. We are opposed to DO
litical bossism as manifested by the unspeak-
able Hanna, labor's Gen. Weyler, the butcher,
the wrecker. We are opposed to the repudia-
ton of any debt obligation public or private
not less than to the system under which debts,
pubic and private, must be paid in a metal
the power OF which was fraudulently doubled
after the debts were contracted.
Henry George was given an ovation.

RESULT IN DOUBT
Says an English Editor of the Pc.
IftfcaI Situation.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct 3O-Thomas
Lloyd. editor of the London Statist who
has travelled across the country, stopping at
numerous places, has sent the following tel
egram to his paper in London, to appear to-
morrow:
travelled from Chicago to st.Paul, and over
the Northern Pacific to Portland Or; thence
into California to San Francisco. Chicago
was outwardly busy and prosperous but
really depressed. The stock exchange was
closed, the banks being unwilling to loan;
factories were closed; there were numbers of
unemployed, and street beggars were numer-
Gus. All were anxious for the future.
st. Paul was also depressed but has more
hope from the rise in wheat. The Northwest
is suffering even in San Francisco. Party
lines are everywhere obliterated. 1t is q
light of the masses against the classes There
is a bitter feeling In the West against the
syndlcates, trusts and combines not so much
against the East. New York and Chicago
hope Mckinley will carry several Western
states. San Francisco and Portland disbe-
1eve this. Mckinley is unpopular in the
West. Sound money and Hanna are dis
liked by the workingmen. The opinion here
Is tnat the election Will be very close. People
are hopeful. but not confident that Mckinley
will win. The best judges fear continuance
OF the uneasiness. / find no dislike toward
England Personally l most kindly re-
ceived.
The cool-headed say they never saw such
excitement since the war. Reject all the
predictions. The assumed confidence of poll
ucians is part of the game Bryan Is per-
sonally respected. He is fanatic but honest
He exercises a magnetic influence over his
hearers. There Is not so much fear in the
west as in the East of socialism and sec
journalism, though 1t is admitted that dis
tressed borrowers dislike the lenders, and the
laborers wish to restrict federal interference
with state disturbances.

to this country when fourteen years
of age. He lived with his sister In
Missouri until 1860, when he went to
Vernon, Ind, to learn the milling bust
ness. The war of the rebellion fired
the ardor of the eighteen-year- Ger
man lad. resulting in his enlistment in
the Sixth Indiana and re-enlisted in the
Twenty-sixth Indiana volunteer in

Aldermen Decline to Take Up a Pc
titiOn to Issue Bonds.

A meeting of the city council was held last
evening, but not word was said relative to
the petition of the board of charities and cor
rections, presented by Aid. Phillips at the last
meeting of that body, asking that $50, 900 CT
bonds be issued to provide for the erection
of a ward at the city hospital to care for pa
tients suffering from infectious diseases. The
petition also asked that the matter be re-
ferred to the people at the coming election,
and was, on motion of Aid. SwartZ, referred
to the committee on ways and means and
health and hospitals
The fact that no report made last night
makes it impossible to grant the request,
therefore the city hospital will have to get
along as best 1t can without the additional
ward.
When President Snider raped for order last
night there were but seventeen members of
the council in their seats,an Aald. Swartz had
the temerity to announce that he was the
only Democrat in the chamber, making 1t Is
to 1 for Mckinley.
The meeting was the shortest on record,
lasting only twenty-five minutes. communi-
cation was read from James Connolly asking
remuneration for injuries received while at
work on the reservoir. Charles Loomis who
was thrown from his bicycle some time ago in
running over a piece Of defective pavement
put in claim for personal injuries received.
Petftlons asked that a cart stand be estab-
ltshed on First avenue, between Fourth an /
Firth streets. Several applications for liquor
licenses were received and referred. Chief
Stetson of the fire department recommended
the purchase Of 5000 feet Of steam fire hose.
and the city clerk authorized to adver-
tise for bids. A request that Twenty-second
street, between Third and Fourth avenues
south, and on Seventeenth avenue northeast,
from Jefferson street to Monroe street, be
opened, was laid over until the next regular

by an increased majority. In 1890 he
was appointed postmaster at Litchfield,
which position he resigned to accept
seat in the 1893 legislature.
Mr.. Koerner's administration Of the
treasurer's office during the past two
years has been such as to win the
hearty appreciation of all classes Of
business men, without distinction of
party. He has faithfully and intelli-
gently served the best interests of the
state and people, with Partially to
none, allowing nc personal friendships
or prejudices to swerve him from a
thorough administratio of the states
finances upon the strictest business
principles. Though his first term Of
office has included the financial strin-
gency that caused several banking in
situations to close their doors, the
states interests therein have been
managed with such ability as to in
sure its treasury against loss, and all
investments have been made with the
caution and prudence that can only
be achieved by close personal attention.
Mr.. Koerner was nominated by the
Republican convention for reelection
by a3upanimous vote. and his support
ers at its forthcoming election will
number thousands Of appreciative yot-
ers from all political parties.

They Are of the Innocent Kind

acts perpetrated under the guise of Innocent
enjoyment the night Of the last anniversary

the part of tho authorities will be advisable
this year. Accordingly he has issued in
structions to Superintendent of Police Smith
to have the entire force Of the city on patrol
from until II o'clock of the night of Hal
lowe'en. In explanation, he said that many
people regarded the occasion as one of amuse-
ment and hilarity. but of late the tendency
had been to overstep the bounds of reason
ableness and numerous complaints had been
OF property. He did not think to prevent
harmless enjoyment, but thought 1t the duty
OF the authorities to correct threatening
abuses, and persistence in such course
would result in arrest.

Bryan men at that point, who were aggrieved
at the language used by the candidates, tele-
