BRYAN In SILVERDOM.
He Makes n Speech, but Says Nothing
About the Price of Wheat.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 13-Amid the
screeching of steam whistles and shouts
of welcome from 10000 throats w. j. Bryan
was received in Butte. Housetops sagged
under the weight of thousands and every
window where a view could be obtained
was crowded with faces. The crowd at the
depot was SO dense that the police were
unable to cope with it. on reaching the
hotel Mir. Bryan responded to calls of the
people and made a brief address. He re-
ferred to the fact that this day was the
anniversary of the notification and speech
of acceptance at MadisOn-square Garden,
New York. Il had not thought" he said.
"of celebrating the occasion in this place
but l am fOrcibly reminded of the material
on going TO New York that | was going
to the enemy's country 1t would take a
liar of big dimensions to declare that |
was in the enemys country on this oc-
caSion. l am pleased to meet my friends and
especially people who were so universally
on our side during the campaign"
Later in the day Mr.. Bryan went to
Walkersyille, a suburb of Butte where a
monster demonstration took place To-day
he spoke at the race track. The track has
been under the ban of labor unions because
of a difference with the carpenters Mr.
Bryan declined to speak there until the
boycott was declared off for this occasion.
Mr.. Bryan, who was a guest of Mrs
Charles w. Clark, held a reception in the
lobby of the McDermott Hotel.

DUN & CO.'S REVIEW.
Merchants Purchasing Heavy Stocks
EXpectntion of largo SaIes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
Every city reporting this week notes in
crease in trade and nearly all bright crop
prospects. The great change in business is
emphasized by the presence of a multitude
of buyers from all parts of the country. by
their statements of the situation at their
homes, and more forcibly yet by the heavy
purchases they are making. The strong
rise in stocks, the growth of bank clearings
and railroad earnings, the heavy specula-
ton in many products, but most of all in
wheat, have made the week one of sur
passing interest even to those who best re-
member the upward rush in 1879. At the
principal clearing houses throughout the
country payments in July were for the first
time slightly larger than in 1892 and n0
per cent. larger than last year; in the first
week of August ~ per cent. larger than in
1892, and 2Sl per cent. larger than last year
and in the second week of August they are
179 per cent. larger than in 1892 and 3s1
per cent. larger than last year.
The great crops and the haste of for
eigners to buy and ship wheat in view of
shortage elsewhere, have made the week

The Fulton people showed fight from the
moment the Rock Island crowd arrived.
Having receiy ID intimatiOns that the spe-
cial was en- route there was a large con-

William Bennett, stood with drawn re-

people were placed under arrest. 1t was at

ADDRESS TO POPULISTS.
Peoples Party Followers Urged to
Concentrate Their Strength.

DALLAS, Tex, Aug 13.-Milton Park,
who, at the national conference Of Popu-
lists at Nashville, Tenn. July A, was ap-
pointed chairman of the national organiZa-
tion committee, created at the conference,
to-day issued a lengthy address to the Pop
ulistS of the United States. He reviews
the origin and organization of the party,
naming the abuses which led dissatisfied
elements of the old parties to create a new
one, and, coming to present conditions, de-
clares that: The trusts, the monopoles
the corporations, the moneyed interests of
the country are organized. Their strength
is concreted into the action OF one man;
hence their power, their success If the
Peoples party would hope to succeed they
must organize, they must unity, they must
concentrate their strength. We are con-
frOnted to-day by obstacles and enemies
within and without"
After reviewing the actions of the conven-
tionS at Omaha and St. Louis and deplOr-
ing the events of 1896, the address contin-
committee, / urge every Populist every
where 10 AVOID, repudlate ana reject all
fusion or alliance with the Democratic or
the Republican party. Repel every over
ture OF these enemies to the common peo-
pie. / suggest that throughout the entire
country, wherever there are two or more
Populists in a ward, precinct township,
they go to work at once, persistently, to
perfect a local POpUltSt organization in
their midst. Press the work until you shall
have secured a compact organization in
every county in your State. If your state
chairman is not in sympathy with the pol
icy declared at Nashville, you should select
one who is as soon as practicable In those
States where the state chairman and ma
tional executive committeeman are in har-
mony with the policy declared at Nashville,
the national organization committeeman
will aid them in every way possible in
strengthening the party organization. In
this way an enthusiasm can be developed
that will know no defeat no surrender,

RESOLUTION SPEECHES
PRESENTED BEFORE THE Ell PASO
BARN HONOR OF b. H. DAVIS,
At the District Court Room Meeting of the
Bar Association. Saturday Evening,
May 2e, 1897.

On last Saturday afternoon, May %
| 1897. an adjourned meeting of the bal
| was held, to hear a report of its com
mittee appointed to draft suitable re-
solutions commemorative of the es
TEEN in which the bar he d the late
Judge Davis. Judge Wyndham KEN
was ca led to the chair, and George r
Harvey was requested to act as secre
tary.
Never before did the walls of the
court room resound with such eloquent
tributes spoken from the depths OF
wounded hearts. Lips faltered from
emotion as tender memories were re-
called, and eyes overflowed with tears
with the thought that this was the last
act of affection which the bar could
pay to it's leader.
HON. WATERS DAVIS,
in presenting the resolutions to the
Bar association spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, and Gentlemen of the
BARI wish to state that the commit
tee appointed were DESTROYS of having
Judge Cro-by present these resolutions,
but something has detained him and
he will net be present, and for that
reason L will state that not through
any fitness on my part, but from the
fact that mine happened to be the first
name mentioned on the committee that
was selected to prepare the resolutions,
it becomes my duty to pre- sent them to
this meeting. While it is proper, II

attached to him almO-t from my first
meeting with him and learned to like
him. Then after l came to Ell Paso
became more intimately acquainted
with him than L had ever been from
being connected with him in busine IS.
l think the resolutions are not fulsome
at all; they reflect what there was in
the man. [ specially endorse the re-
marks made by our friend, Mr..
interest that Major Davis would take
in assisting younger lawyers to get on
their feet and take a position at the
bar: but in everything, in every walk
of life, in every place, in the court
house, in his Office, on the street, at
his home, and everywhere else he was
! the same courteous gentleman. No
man was ever actuated by higher or
mob, er principles, and no man ever had
a warmer friend than was Major Davis:
and we cannot realize ourselves the
loss that this bar has sustained i q his
death 1t will come to US gradually as
the years go by that we will feel deep
err and stronger that we miss the
Major.

appear under his picture.

spoke as follows:
