WASHINGTON, ID. c., August l5.--
Mr.. Bryan's New York speech has
been sent to the printer and its distri-
button will be commenced Monday at
the rate of 5000 copies a day. Mr..

committees publication absolutely cor
rect. The demand for the speech has
already begun, and it is expected that

can be carried In the pocket.
"We will commence next week to
have our increased force working day
and night" said Chairman Faulkner.
''we can get all the help we want. l
have been through great many cam
paigns, and never saw such enthu-
siasm as is now manifested in behalf of
the silver cause. We could fill our
rooms every night with volunteer
workers, who are only too glad to con-
tribute their labor to the dissemination
of silver literature. 1t is the same way
all over the country"

got the decision by but few inches from
Whitman of Dallas, with Stephens OF VI

In fact the three men were so close TO-
gether when they crossed the tape that
it looked like dead heat. In the eight
laps of this race there was not one III
which the participants did not fight and
maneuyer in every conceivable manner
for the position behind the tandem. Dur
ing each lap as many as two, and some
times three or four riders, would run
ahead of the tandem in the hope that by
falling back they would be able to Sc
cure the coveted position.
Woodlief caught it first, he in turn
had to give way to Whitman OF Dallas,
who sprinted ahead of the tandem tc
obtain it. Then Mcfarland forced both
men back place by taking the position

notwithstanding many interior mer-
chants prefer to wait until after reac-

willing to order subject to cancellation
should the movement for free coinage OF
silver be successful. Sentiment at larger
business centcrs regards the success OF
the campaign for sound money as as
sured. In some instances merchants
are discounting that view of the stua-
ton by placing orders. Features of the
business week are the continued advance
in price and strength of wheat, and the
maintenance of Il large volume OF wheat
exports, notably to India and Australia
While wheat is no higher, holders nave
sold enough to render them Indifferent
