'OUTCALT'S BIG BOOM.
A Great German Company Buys
GOO Acres From Buckelew
Estate.
THEY EMPLOY 1000 HANDS
And Will Establish an Industrial Com
munity Like He1metta.

People very often say humorously
you never can tell - but there are
few remarks truer. Years ago las.
Gordon Bennett, the elder, with all
his ability and power, essayed to
found new industrial or residence
community at Old Bridge, but the
enterprise failed. Others have tried
like schemes and likewise met disas-
ter
The late Geo. w. Helme was one
of the few successful colony builders
and now there is likelihood of another
attempt just adjoining Helmetta. A
large manufacturing concern, now in
Germany, have determined to come
to America in order to secure the
American market and avoid the
Dingley tariff. In Germany the firm
employs 1000 hands.
On Thursday this concern closed
a deal with James Buckelew's Sons
for the purchase of 600 acres of land
on which to build a manufacturing
village. They Immediately paid the
whole contract price. To get to the
railroad and enjoy frst-class shipping
facilities the purchasers also bought
5o-acre tract of Outcalt & Son, at
Outcalt's Crossing, with the privilege
of using their siding.
1t is said the concern will at once
lay out village, cut the timber and
drain and grade their land This
will take large number of men and
give employment to many idle hands.
At last it seems that the Amboy
Division is to have the industrial de-
velopment its nearness to New York
merits. A little push and energy
should bring to Jamesburg very many
such industrial enterprises, for our
location as a shipping centre is ideal.
Freeholder Powna1l was largely in
strumental in arranging the deal be-
tween the new company and Buck
elew's Sons, and if he will only be-
come Jamesburg S boomer we will all
be glad to hail him as public bene-
factor.

Colonel Daniel B. Murphy, of Camden,

aid was summoned. On the arrival of
the barge at Jersey City he was carried
to the private car OF General w. J. Sc
well. where he was made as comfortable
as possible. On the arrival OF the train
at Camden he was conveyed to his resi-
dence. Colonel Murphy was reported to
be very sick man.

TABLE r
Notes by the Way

Persons who have purchased reserved
seats on the tribunes must be in place by
1870 without fail if they do not desire to
be crowded out.
The gentlemen who accompanied Mr..
Bryan on his trip south were entertained
by the Jeffersonian club yesterday and
taken for tallyho drive around the city
in the afternoon.
The menu card for the banquet tonight
is a most artistic and charming produc-
ton and will serve as a very pleasing
souvenir of a notable occasion. 1t was
designed by Miss H. E. Crippen and was
executed by the Wheedon-Little and
Lang -Bireley companies.
After returning from his drive about
the city yesterday Mr.. Bryan rested
quietly for an hour or two, and then ac-
companied his host and hostess, Mr..
and Mrs. Cole, and attended evening
service at the First Presbyterian
church. Before returning home Mr..
Bryan made a call upon friend at the
Catalina hotel, Mrs Sarah Jones and
Dr. and Mrs. H. B. Wing.
At the reception at the Hollenbecl
hotel today visitors are requested to
enter by the Spring street entrance and
leave by the Second street entrance.
Those who are presented to Mr.. Bryan
are also requested to refrain from shak-
ing hands with him, as the physical task
of shaking hands with several thousand
people within a few hours is an unkind
tax to impose upon our guest.

the visitors to the Nadeau hotel, but
they did not depart before the crowd
that thronged the station gave three
cheers for Bryan. Judge Mcguire. too.
as he descended from the car received a
rousing welcome and the rotund form
and genial countenance of "Billy"
Foote, as he is with affectionate famil-
iarity known, provoked another round
of cheers.
HAIL TO THE CHEIF!
But at the River station there was q
dem onstration of far keener enthusiasm
albeit made by comparatively few peo-
pie.
Nathan Cole, jr., Dr. johnson T
Burke. Milton Carlson, forming a com
mittee representing the several sections
of the Silver party met Mr. Bryan and

they were accorded especial honor and

but before starting accorded a brief
interview to Herald representative.
The photographs and various pictorial
reproductions of Mr.. Bryan's face. while
very good in general outline, fail to con-
vey the proper idea of strength and de-
termination. This is relieved by a pair
of kindly eyes that have In them the
CLINT of humor and that make one think
the owner is quick to perceive funny
situation or humorous incident.
In answer to the inquiry as to the pres
ent status of the silver question, in view
of the fact that Republican friends are
unwearied In their assertions that the
issue Is practically dead, Mr. Bryan said /:
Il have never seen people who rallied 80
quickly after defeat as did the silver
forces last fall. Believing that they were
right they regarded defeat as only a
passing incident in the march onward to
victory. Today they are more hopeful
than ever before"
"And how far and to what extent may

that is not to say that 1t was un-
eventful. At all the intermediate sta
tions crowds assembled to cheer Mr.
Bryan upon his way. Parents brought
their children to let them look upon the
face of the man whose life work may
mean so much to them. At Mojave one
old man said he had brought his baby
son down from the home in the noun
tains just that he might see the knight
chosen by the people to battle in their
cause.
Wont you shake hands with him, Mr..
Bryan" said the old man as he lifted
the little fellow up Mr.. Bryan smiled
upon the little fellow and shook his
hand while the tot looked up wonder
ingly and with a touch of awe in his
voice asked: "Are you really Mr.. Bry-
an?" Being satisfied upon the point the
little tot was led away while yet his
eyes remained riveted upon the form of
the silver leader.
And so it was all along the route; en-
thusiasm was displayed at every point

arrival in the city were kept very quiet,
for it was considered desirable that M.
Bryan should at least have Sunday ac-
corded to him in which to rest and re-
cuperate after an exhausting trip. But

1--WE can form fairly good opinion by

Well" was the response, at ought to
convince people who approach the in
vestigation of the question with an un-
biased mind that the ultimate object Of
the gold standard advocates is,to bring
about the universal adoption of mono
metallism. japan has drawn upon the
United States for some gold and will
doubtless draw good deal more. Every
new demand for gold tends to increase
the purchasing power Of that metal and
depresses prices. The effect upon japan

That was all. Mr.. Bryan, while fluent
on the platform, is not voluble in an in
terview, and this despite the fact tha:

There are probably few who will ven
ture to declare that Mr.. Bryan'e visi
to California Is not pregnant with mean
ing. AS to what it actually does mean
according to the Interpretation of the
united silver forces and every one op.
posed to plutocratic methods, there ii
but one opinion and that was voiced
yesterday by w. A. Afford. chairman ot
the Democratic state committee, wher
he said: "The visit to California of MI
Bryan means the consolidation of all the
people in the state who believe in the re-
monetization Of silver as the master
key with which to unlock the casket In
which Is contained the nations perma-
nent prosperity. Without doubt efforts
will be made by those opposed to intro
duce discord, but I believe this visit of
Mr.. Bryan will act as a solvent fusing
all the silver forces into one mighty
phalanx having as its one determine I'd
object the solving Of this problem that
has split parties and its settlement upon
the right and just basis.
"Our trip down here has been a tri-
umphal procession. From Sacramento
to Fresno the meetings held were large

Fresno at which nearly 10000 people

"The cry Of the gold standard men
that the silver sentiment is dying out
in the country and that Bryan is losing
his hold on the affections Of the Amer
lean people could not have been more
completely or more effectually answered
than by the succession of distinct ova-
tions and the universal expressions Of
heartfelt affection and confidence which
greeted him at every stopping place of
yesterdays travel from Sacramento to
Fresno-aye, and by the shouts and
cheers that greeted his car in the early
hours of the morning after he had re-
tired and was unconscious Of the inter-
est manifested at the stations passed
while he was asleep.
His presence has given confidence
and new courage to all whoe interests
and natural sympathies are with the
cause he represents. 1t will be
impossible for the opposition ever
hereafter to injure him or his ca
reer in this state by Misrepresentation.
If the election were to be held within
thirty days after his visit to this state
he would carry it by an overwhelming
majority and, in my opinion, both he and
his cause will continue to increase In
strength here during the next three
years He is the logical candidate of the
Democratic party for president in 1900

that he was drunk with eXuberance ot
his own verbosity" But the biting sar-
casm, the unkind retort and the twist
ing of the truth are, in their application
to any one championing the cause of the
weak against the strong, the sincerest
f1attery. A statesman, as no other men
cannot be worthy the name if he does
not provoke antagonism and active op-
position. If Mr.. Bryan has done this
the loyal faith, the staunch friendships
and the honest affection he has drawn
from people in all quarters of the coun-
try is ample compensation.
A SUCCESSOR TO LINCOLN
Simply as an illustration Of this may
be quoted the words of one who has
grown old and feeble in his country s
service; one whose name is emblazoned
on history's page and yet, mayhap,
whose name is unknown to the younger
generation in Los Angeles. But few
days ago General Horace Binney Sar-
gent wrote from Santa Monica, in re-
sponse to request that he be present at
Mr.. Bryans reception, in the following
strain:
Though my age (76 today and nearly
total deafness compel my absence from
the deserved reception Of honor to your
distinguished guest, Mr.. Bryan, 1 may
be permitted to express my absolute,
unqualified sympathy with his brave,
long-sustained efforts, and my entire ad-
miration for the man.
For more than twenty years, by
speech and pen, 1 have supported our
constitutional right to two" legal ten
ders, with gold and silver on an equal
footing at the mint and in debt payment
at ratio fixed by law-which alone
makes gold coin stable with gold bullion
at the Bank of En- nglard have followed
the guidance Of Hamilton and Daniel
Webster, and believe that the open or
covert attempt to supplant either metal
by giving the "option" to the creditor
is a reasonable attempt to change a
constitutional safeguard against extor-
ton without the legal prescribed form
of amendment" submitted to the peo-
Pile.
IT hail with delight the mighty leader
ship of the only real tribune of the
plain people" who has appeared since
Abraham Lincoln died. An equal read
mess in debate, an equal logical power,
an equally happy control of temper un-
der the insolence that calls Bryan "the
boy orator" and called Lincoln "the
baboon," an equally honest fearless, en-
during, patriotic heart so eminently
marks both Americans that it is equally
honorable and just to both to associate
their names. Both have been infamously
derided by moral and intellectual infe-
riors with brains too fat for foresight.
zone of these two great men is en-
balmed in the warm human heart of all
the people as "the saviour of the repub-
lic," and the "God- blessed defender of
the Constitution"-after passing through
the agony of his glory. May this other
great American now with us in the
struggle and heat of the battle against
greed and covert fraud masking as su-
perior honesty be the triumphal success

defender of the Constitution"-like

AT each place Mr.. Bryan spoke and re

the most striking proof was given thai
the people have quit thinking that the

and have made up their minds that pros

has captured the people both in a socia
way and on the platform. His coming
into the state will solidify the silver
forces and stimulate thought. So far as
am concerned 1 think California should

A CHARACTER STUDY
Late in the afternoon Judge Mcguire
who has ever had many friends and ad-
mirers in the south, albeit he has repre-
sented a northern district in congress
was found at the California club. In
answer to the query as to what Mr..
Bryan's visit to California might near
and what he considered the secret OF
his power, Judge Mcguire delivered him
self at some length. 1t will be noted that
his remarks form character study, and
the incidental remarks will be of inter
est as being by one in position to judge
of passing events with more accuracy
than the average individual.
"The cause of silver will be much
strengthened in California" began
Judge Mcguire, "by Mr. Bryan's visit.
A persistent and very general effort was
made during the last campaign by the
newspapers supporting the gold monop-
oily to misrepresent Mr. Bryan; to pic
ture him as a gifted enthusiast filled
with a sentimental zeal for bimetallism.
Many were by these representations led
to believe that he was dreamer rather
than a practical man. Personal contact
with him, his very appearance and
speech, show him al once to be a man
governed not by impulses but by princl-
pie; not by sentiment but by reason; a
man of great knowledge, clear, logical
mind and OF unwavering belief in the
expediency of right. He at once i'm
presses people who meet him with a
feeling that he is absolutely sincere and
honest, but that his convictions, which
he has the courage to follow, at all times
are based upon careful and thorough
investigation; upon a very uncommon
power of analysis, and strong, clear
judgment. His speech at Fresno last
night-the seventh he had made during
the day-was a perfect and complete
exposition and demonstration of the
principal positions for which he con-
tends. 1t was the speech not of an en-
thusast but of state sman. Not of one
grasping and presenting the arguments
supporting his conclusions, but of. a
statesman analysing, weighing and ball
ancing every fact and every argument
for and against his conclusions. I heard
all of his speeches yesterday. He dealt
with different phases of the money que s.
tion in all of the speeches. and in each
one avoided repeating any argument he
had made use of in any Of the others.
II have known him personally and
