Through the courtesy of DIR. J..

has been furnished, in advance, with
a copy of his fourth biennial report,
also the report of the Board of Trus-

women and that he counted his election
sure. His gyrations and peculiar man
ner shocked Father Ritter. who at the
opening of the meeting had spoken par
ticularly of the fact that all the non
partisan eandi dates we're always steady
on their feet All the speakers de-
clared that Salt Lake was IN a de-
plorable condition and all told OF the
great love the Owl club has for the
poor. Richards said that he had long
been a non-partisan, and that he great
ly abhorred the methods of primaries
and caucuses. This sentiment was
loudly applauded by Game and MeCor-
nick realizing the time when ne was
defeated by Galleazi joined in the
chorus.
Romney said that if he was elected
he would not give particular attention
to his own ward, and he bore down
particularly hard on Newell, but did
not explain Why he has not introduced
a resolution into the city council con
demning that which so stirred his soul
while he spoke. Williams was reserved
for the last and explained why he was
always a little Of everything politically
hut never any one thing for any great
length of time. Clark beaned upon the
audience and the music by the band
was good. There was a lack Of enthu-
siasm and a lack. a most woeful lack
of anything like argument advanced
why party lines should be abandoned
in Salt Lake.
When the hour of s O'clock had ar
rived. there were only ten people on
the platform and about 300 on the lower
floor People kept struggling in until
8 O'Clock. and then they began 20 go
out Finally the band played and the
people went home and about all they
remembered was Swans speech and
Riter's declaration that no candidate
had been placed on the ticket who was
not a teetotaller.

be overlooked. for George was the fea-
ture of the evening. He showed up
to a splendid advantage and created
more enthusiasm than anybody OF

ment made by Mr.. Ritter to the effect

sobriety and temperance" but he

made a hit. 1t was a three Dagger at

the crowd and it cleered him to the

Van Vert, O., Oct 27.-william Jen-
nings Bryan began a short campaign
ing tour in Ohio this morning. He tray
elled in a private car. The first meet
ing was at Montpelier, where an audi
ence of 5000 persons from ali PARTS of
the country had assembled. Mr.. Bryan
questioned the honesty of the vote OF
Ohio last year, and then took up the sill
yer question. He said:
II wish to submit some propositions
for Republicans to talk about, for the
Democrats are with US. 1t is only nee
essary to talk to Republicans who were
unwilling to listen last fall. In my
Judgment, the gold standard is bad
thing for the United States and we
should not submit to it because the
ffnancieRs OF Europe want 1T?
He said the Republican party up to
this time had never declared that the
gold standard was good thing 1t
promised last year, he said, to do what
it could to get rid of the gold standard.
He then reviewed the work OF the
monetary commission which President
Mckinley sent to Europe and said rs
mission had failed, because the money
changers we're opposed to it
Mr.. Bryan attributed the improved
financial condition of the United States
to the discovery of gold in Alaska and
to the famine in India, which he said
the Republicans were rejoicing over,
even though the famine resulted in the
loss of thousands of lives.
From Montpelier the train was hur-
/ ried to Defiance, where an afternoon
meeting was held. There was a large

Industrial towns of Ohio. He made FIVE
separate speeches, concluding with an
address at the Elysan theatre here this
evening. The first meeting was at the
Laughlin tin plate mills. where the SEN

ceiyed an advance in wages ranging
from $3.50 to S24 month since the
passage of the Dingley law. Senator
Hanna was received at the works by q
salute from all the whistles. He was
greeted with applause by the workmen,
and made a speech in which ne APP
pealed for support for the administra-
ton, and urged the necessity of con-
trolling the general assembly to the
end that the gerrymandering of the
congressional districts by the Demo-
Gratis might be prevented, and Ohio
might continue to be represented by

meeting was at the Aetna Standard

Work of Translation From the CT
pher Translated Into English.


Washington. Oct. 27,-The event Of
the day at the state department was
the receipt of the long-expected cable
gram from United States Minister
woodford at Madrid, transmitting the
answer of the Spanish government to
his representations in the interest of
neace in Cuba, This message began to
come in installments at 2 o'clock last
night. and it was noon today before 1t
was all in at the state department. 1t
was not the length that occupied he
wires all the time. but the fact that
it vas in groups of figures. and that it
was probably being fitted in small
patches. as il was turned into the
compltcated state departments cipher
in Madrid All of this work had to be
undone at the state department. and
the messase translated from the cipher
back again into good English. This
occupied nearly all day, SO that it Was
$3.50 O'Clock before the first copy of the
message was turned out. 1t was not so
long, in fact there was little less than
1000 words in the message, for Mr..
Woodford, instead of cabling the whole
of the Spanish answer to his note, had
contented himself With reducing the
matter to a brief outline.
The first COPY was taken at once to
the president, not being entrusted TO q
messenger. but being delivered by Chief
Clerk Michaels in person at the White
House. After due opportunity had been
allowed the president TO read the mes
sage, an application was made for a
statement of its contents or nature.
This was declined by Secretary Porter,
and it was said that under no eircum-
stances would the correspondence be
made public before consideration by the
cabinet.
From unofficial Information that has
reached certain administration officials
in advance of this message of Mr..
Woodford's as TO the nature of the
Spanish reply, it is evident that in
neither language nor subject matter is
