SILVER IS THE ISSUE.

Bmetalism Stronger in Kansas Than Ever
Before.
Topeka, Kan, June 27.-''This
cause will not die said Gov. Leedy
at Lawrence a few days ago. ''as
long as two men are left to discus
it," He referred to the cause OF
silver and it's restoration TO its right
place in the financial system of the
country.
The republicans of kansas-that
is the gold standard end of the as
gregation-are trying hard to create
the impression that the silver senti
ment is dying out in the state They
still refer to it as the "silver craze,
and they still refer to the leaders OF
the silver movement as ''sociaIists
and anarchists.
If Bryan or Leedy or any other
men in whose personal integrity the
people have faith should stand be
fore the people of Kansas to morrow.
the exponents and representatives OF
the silver cause. they would receive
from 10000 to 10000 more votes
than were cast in favor of that issue
when the battle of 1896 was 50
bravely fought and gloriously won In
this state.
The extraordinary reception given
to William Jennings Bryan at Ottawa
last week leaves no doubt as to the
solidity of the silver sentiment 1t
was the handwriting on the wall. 1t
awed the republicans and gave
stronger hope to the champions and
advocates of bimetallism.
The non partisan address of MIR.
Bryan was a revolution. It was a
dispassionate logical present;oa OF
the merits of his cause and not cslcu-
lated to arouse partisan enthusiasm
With comparative safety it can be
alleged that there can not be found
ten men in the broad plains of Kan
sas who are sorry that they voted
for William j Bryan in 1896. With
equal safety it can be asserted tina.
10000 men can b found in the state
OF Kansas who are pronounced iu
their regrets that they voted the

BRYAN Cheered by thousands.

! This was the way ten thousand
/ people greeted Mr.. Bryan at the con.
clusion of his address at Ottawa,
Kansas, Friday.
"At the conclusion of the address
it was announced by Governor Leedy
that as Bryan was a man of the peo-
pie he would give the people an op
portunity to shake hands with him.
This announcement caused STAN
pede for the stage, the like of which
has been seldom seen. The irresist-
IDLE wave of humanity forced him to
the north entrance. distance Of $50
feet Men and women reached for
his outstretched hand and these who
failed to grasp it pushed with all
their power through the crowd In
another effort to get at it. He t,led
to stand at the north entrance, but
in vain. The surging crowd forced
him around the corner of the audi
torium, and westward fully 100 feet.
Here he jumped into a cab, after
shaking hands with everyone within
reach.
The Marias des Cygnes river,
| which runs through the park, had
overfo we'd it's bank owing to recent
rains and extended within twenty
| feet of the rear CT the auditorium.
The cab containing Mr.. Bryan was
stationed on the edge of the water,
so that the crowd was forced to pass
between the cab and the building.
The idea was a good one, but it did
not work. The people in their eager
ness waded knee deep in the water
| One man crawled under the resr OF
the cab and although he was touched
twice by the whip of the driver he
would not leave it until Bryan had
turned around and grasped his hand.
In the meantime the crowd between
the cab and the building had become
so dense as to be suffocating. Two
men stood tanning Mr.. Bryan from
whose face the perspiraticn was
rolling down in torrents. Women
lost their hats and had their gowns
torn in the terrible jam, but they
would not leave without shaking the
hand of MIR Bryan. He was almost
exhausted when. at last the rapidly
rising water came to his rescue 1t
had raised eight inches inside OF
thirty minutes and completely over
flowed every inch of ground between
the river proper and the auditorium.
Logs and brush were being washed
away, The carriage started up and
dashed toward the depot. Here Mr..

of 10000 people, who had followed,
and thus ended day that will never
be forgotten by the people living in

ATTACK ON SAM LUNG.
Coates Fined $40 for simple As
AauIt,

There was study I'm yellow today in the
Police Court during the hearing in the case
OF Charles Coates, colored youth, charged
with assault with intent to kill Sam Lung,
a Chinaman. by striking him with an iron
pipe.
Sam Lungs testimony was confined to
the statement: Man hittee me with plipe."
and he would say nothing further of an
intelligible character.
DIR. Lawrence of the Emergency Hospi-
tai described the injury of the Chinaman,
and Detective Hartigan told of the arrest
and the confession of Coates.
John Hurley, colored boy. who was
with Coates at the time OF the assault, tes-
titled that Coates struck the blow in self
defense.
The story of Coates was practically iden-
tical with thai Of Hurley.
In arguing in behalf OF his client Attor-
ney Darlington maintained that Sam Lung
had lied as only a Chinaman can lie.'
Yes" interrupted his honor, "and SO has
the defendant. He is held for the action OF
the grand jury in 5000 bonds"
Assistant District Attorney Mullowney
nole pressed the warrant charging as
sault with intent TO kill, and Coates was
arr aligned on an information charging sim
pie assault. He entered plea of guilty
ard was fined $40 and costs. That eads
the affair. 81
