HIS FIRST SPEECH.

Mr.. Arthur p. German, Jr., son of Sen
ator German, made his first speech during
the campaign before the Laurel Democrat
ic Club Monday night. The headquarters
of the club, Conway's Hall, was packed to
hear Him.
Mr.. German said in part: I'VE are in the
midst of one of the greatest campaigns
which ever engaged the American people.
1t is, the greatest campaign, because 1t is
the campaign of the people. 1t is the
means by which the people are to assert
their rights and declare their independ-
ence. The democratic party has always
believed in self-goFerment and has stood
for. the masses of the people. 1t stands
today for the money of the constitution
and we claim that we should have the use
Of both gold and silver as oar redemption
money.
TO accomplish this end the democratic
party. in convention assembled, declared
for the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of Is to | without waiting
for the aid and consent of any other ma
ton. To carry out its principles they
nominated man who, in this time of
need, is brave enough to act as the peoples
champion. You all know him or have
heard of him-William Jennings Bryan.
''Our opponents, in order to trump up
some charge against him, have said he is
too young. They say you have been given
too Young a candidate for President of
the United States. They must realize that
some of the greatest deeds have been ac
complshed by young men. Jefferson
drew up the Declaration of independence
when he was very young man; Pitt was
the leader of Parliament in England when
he was but a young man. Is 1t crime for
a man who is young to travel from the At
lantic to the Mississippi and to talk to
more people than any other man has ever
talked to before. Is this crime for which
he must be denouneeds. | think not:
Because the democratic party declared
for the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer this is not the only issue it stands for
1T was in the time of Washingtoa's ad-
miniStration, when Hamilton was Secre-
tarv of the Treasury, that gold was made
legal tender, but 1t WAS counted from the
silver unit. Al of our money started from
the silver unit. If these men saw fit to
give us the use of both gold and silver we
should not hesitate to use both now
Mr. German then discussed the demon
citation of silver and said Il claim that
the republican party or no other party had
the right to demonctiZe silver and thus
deprive YOU of the use of a metal which
you have right to and are entitled to by
the constitution" He quoted an extract
from Websters speech delivered Deem
Der 81, 1856, on the right Of Congress to
demonetiZe either of the metals.
We should have himetallism. Ali par
ties agree that it is right, because it will
prevent the rich from cornering all the
money in the world. y people of 10000,
600 should not wait for any other country
to give its consent. Have we lost our
manhood. Shall we not assert our rights:
do not think that will be your verdict in
November. The cry of England that we

WAR NARROWLY AVERT ED

New ORLEANS, Oct. 10Th.
The Times Democrat Key West spe-
cial says:
If the Spanish authorities had taken Sc
nor Angel Fernandez off the Ward Line
steamer Nlgilancia while that vessel was
in the Havana barber last Friday, United
States warships would have Immediately
been ordered to Havana enforce demand
for reparation and war between this coun-
try and Spain would have undoubtedly
resulted.
For three hours last Friday the United
States and Spain were on the brink of
war, and the threatening situation was
only relieved when the Spanish author-
ties ANONYMOUSLY backed down and allow
ed the Eigilancia to proceed to sea with
Fernandez still on board.
\ letter received here from cores
pondent in Havana who is closed to
Consul-Gencral Lee gives Il dramatic
account of the episode.
According to the letter when the Nigilan
cia put into Havana the Spanish authori-
ties demanded the surrender of Senior
Angel Fernandez. Il Mexican on board
the vessel. The Spaniards alleged that
Fernandez was not Il Mexican but Il sub
iect of Spain
Capt. John Mcintosh, of the Nigilancia
refused to surrender Fernandez
Then the Spanish authorities told
Mcintosh that if the Nigilancia attempted
to 90 to sea with Fernandez on board she
would be sunk by the guns of Moro
Castle.
ConSul-Gcneral Lee was greatly ezra ged
at the threat to sink the Nigilancia, and
is reported to have said to Captain
Mcintosh:
If the guns of Moro Castle sink Your
ship, American warShipS will be bom6ard-
ing Havana in Il few days.
Consul Lee informed General Weyicr
that the ship was going to sea. Wcylcr
called a meeting Of the council but while
it was in session the Nigiancia weighed
anchor and sailed from port.

While the transaction in flour, wheat,

of all kinds of outwardbound products

McKINLEY'S EMPTY WORDS

The New York .Inn1nm of Monday says:
The admirable Tribune, which daily as
saults Mr.. Bryan with an assumption OF
contempt, but with 4 very strong manlfeS-
tatiun of vindictiycneSS and fear, paid Its
respects to him yesterday in an editorial
article in which it endea> ored to contrast
unfavorablv his utteranccS with those of
the aStutc protcge of Mr.. Hanna. The
method of contrast employed by the Fri
hunr consists in quoting some OF the less
serious parts of Mr.. BrvanS orationS and
then launching few glittering general
ties about Major Mckinley uniform
dignity and courtesy, which had given no
chance for a word of Popocratic criti-
ci >ln." 1t is all very simple when you
know how.
1t is possible that none of Major Mrkln-
lcyS opponents are disposed t" criticise
his dignity and courtesy. These are eN-
ccllcnt qualities. but not at all uncommon,
and Major Mckinley shares them with Il
great many of his fellow men. who do not
require to have them advertised through
the columns of the Tribune in the hope of
thereby diverting attention from less agree
) ahlc matters 1t would be more ingenious
for our esteemed contemporary to turn
the light Of its comment on some of his

! Il.

said:

| We suppose that the Republican party
encourages Il higher stand lrd of manhood
by compelling men to wear Mckinley on
the lapcls of their coats when they have
| BRYAN in their hearts. Citizens are ele
waited and living wages secured, no doubt
by making money so dear that the streets
are overrun with men who cannot tint
wages at all. Free ballot and Il free citi
Zenship are secured to US 10y the opera
tions of railways which force their EN-
ployes to join Mckinley clubs or lose theil
situations, or by the distribution of $40
600 from Mr. Hanna barrel.
And finally, we sweep away the Su@
geStions of birth, caste aud condition by
insisting upon the maintenance OF imam
cial system which keeps enormous wealth
in the hands of a few. and makes the grca
mass Of the people realize that the plutoc
