LabOrs Leaders Relations.

CHICAGO, Septem Der 23.-Labor
unious in many parts of the country
have elected delegates to the labor re-
form convention called by the recent
ST. Louis gathering to consider what
steps should be taken in the direction
of stopping ''goverp ment by injunc-
tiop," and to discuss the ratification
and practit al cooperation # trade
unions and sll other labor reform Or
ganizations in matters of common in
terest. A num Der of delegates so far
chosen are from organizations and
soc cites hostile to Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of abor, as re suit of his non-cOm-
initial attitude during the miners
strike,- and unless conservative cOun-
sells prevail the outlook is that the big
labor federation viii be handled with
out gloves. The prime movers in the
present movemat are General Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights of
Labor, and Euge9e V. Debs. and the
bitterness felt by Mr.. Sovereign toward
his rival is matter of notoriety in
labor circles.

BRYAN AT OTTAWA.

Last Friday was Bryan day at the Ottawa
Assembly, and it was "big' day--the biggest
day the Assembly people ever saw. Had the
weather been good, there would have been an
lawful crowd, but the heavy rains the pre-
vious day and night kept many thousands away.
As it was, there were more people in attendance
than could hear the notable speaker with any
degree of comfort or satisfaction. Many people
gathered in the tabernacle early in the morning
in order to secure seats for the address in the
afternoon.
Shortly after noon, Governor Leedy arrived
from Topeka, and he presided at the meeting.
Mr. BRYAN was introduced to the vast audience
and for over two hours he held their closest at
tention while he addressed them on the issues
of the day, making the silver question his prin-
ciple theme The speaker avoided anything
that would lead Republicans or others to charge
that he made partisan speech, yet he drove
the truths home in forcible yet temperate
manner He was frequently interrupted by APP
plause and in various ways the people gave ex-
pressions of pleasure and satisfaction. Even
Republicans were heard to remark, after the
address, that it was the most logical speech
they had heard on the silver question.
After the address, Mr.. Bryan was escorted TO
his carriage, but was Immediately surrounded by
thousands eager W grasp Iio manu- hS
shaking continued for some time but as his
train was soon to leave for Kansas City, the
Misunderstanding terminated abruptly, and he was
whired out of the park amid the cheers from
thousands of Threats.
An effort was made to have Mr.. Bryan remain
and speak again in the evening. so as to allow
those to hear him who had not been able to get
into the park, but his time was limited, and it
was necessary for him to catch a certain train
from Kansas City to Denver, so he was unable
to accept the invitation. Republican papersare
making desperate effort to cause the people to
believe that Bryan refused to speak again be-
cause there would be no money i'll ii for him.
They are claiming that the Populists are very
angry because he did not stay and speak again.
But there is not the slightest shadow of trut!
in these assertions.
One thing is certain: Bryan day at Ottawa
proved that he is not dead POLITICALLY, and
that the silver question is yet live issue.

ANOTHER SURPRISE.

And now John Sherman has surprised the
Republicans. He is following in the footsteps
of John Wanamaker, Ben Butterworth and John
]. ingalls,. He is afterthe trusts, and says they
should be outlawed. John says the matter of
trusts is altogether the most important question
of the day. He says the present antitrust law
is not strong enough. Says he: 81 framed it
myself, and the senate committee on judiciary
made changes i'll it which materially weakened
its effect" He then proceeds to give the trusts
severe drubbing.
These expressions of Mr.. Sherman have
aroused the Republican BOSSES and they de-
clare that the old man is losing his mind. The
Topeka Capital, few days ago. contained a
dispatch from Washington giving numerous
instances which indicate that he really is be-
coming weak in the upper story. The report
says, also, that it has been known by Sherinan's
colleagues in the senate, for some time, that
his mind is becoming weak, and that he was
appointed secretary of state merelyto give Han
nah place in the senate; that Sherman was
appointed secretary of state with the understand
ing that he would resign in short time; that
he is only secretary i'll name, his duties being
performed by another
Poor old John Sherman! He was at one time
an honest man, and now, like the old man who
is in his second childhood, John is again be-
coming honest--because he is nearing the end
of his career. The truth of his late utterance
is not questioned by honest men,

THOSE BETHANY GIRLS.

The young "ladies" who attended Bethany
college are supposed to be models of good be-
havior. They are reputed as good, Christian
girls. large number of them attended the
Assembly at Ottawa, and were at the Bryan
meeting, where they gathered together in a
group, turned their backs to the speaker and
proceeded to make themselves generally OBJ
noxious by their rude, uncouth behavior. They
were reproved several times by people about
them, but they continued to misbehave until
some of the police were called to compel them
to cease. 1t is needless to say that these girls
are daughters of gold-bugs. 1t is evident, too,
that the Bethany instructors should give few
lessons in good behavior and decency.

A JOKE ON BRYAN.

Last Saturday morning, Col. Deford was
showing w. ]. Bryan about Ottawa. At the
same time, Ex-Governor St. John was walking
along the street with ex-Mayor Wharton. AS
the two notables passed each other, Col. De-
ford recognized Governor St. John, and greet
ed him. Mr.. Bryan recognized the name OF
the old reformer, and he grasped Mr.. St. Johns
hand. saying, "Well, this is all unexpected
pleasure After few casual remarks, Mr..
Bryan said, speaking of the rainy weather;
"This kind of weather just suits you Prohi-
bitionists" eyes" said Mr.. St. John; "it
suits us, but it's mighty hard on the Democ-
racy," Mr.. Bryan smiled, but said nothing

THAT NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

The Democratic papers and good many
Populist papers are making great roar about
the 'middle- of-the-road" convention which is
to be held at Nashville next Monday, and are
calling the promoters of that convention hard
names, such as "traitois," "Hannacrats," etc
lust what they expect gain by this line of abuse
is a mystery to us. Have not these men per-
feet right to hold convention? Are they not
American citizens, with the same rights and
privileges as other American citizens? Have
not Democrats and silver Republicans already
held conventions? Will they not hold others?
Has anybody been kicking because those con-
ventions have been held, or are to be held?
Certainly not Then why this abuse!
Somebody remarks: 'Well they abused and
called names, too" We are not apologizine
for such action on the part of the niddle-of
the-road people, but we have this to say: They
did not begin the fuss--they are only striking
back Ever since the nomination of Tom
Watson at ST. Louis, the Democratic papers
and many Populist papers have been abusing
him and his adherents. He has been accused
of selling out to the Republicans, and various
other charges have been brought against him,
none CT which are true. He and his friends
have struck back. Can you blame them'
Abuse is not argument. 1t does not win
men to the side of those who indulge in it.
Both sides should abandon such foolish, profit
less tactics.
Ex-GovERNoR BoIEs, of Iowa, who was a
candidate for president before the last Demo
cratic convention, and who is now being men
toned as candidate in 100, has arrived at
the conclusion that the Democratic party can
not afford to champion silver in the next ma
tional campaign. He says his party took up
that issue in 90 and got licked and he is afraid
that if it takes up the question i'll 1900, it will
again be defeated. 1t is evident that Mr.. Boes
is "reformer" for revenue only.
NEWTON has been having little excitement.
A contractor who is putting in the water-works
plant sent to Chicago for lot of cheap Italian
laborers, whereupon, the people of Newton
arose in their might and threatened to smite
the Dagoes, hip and thigh. The contractor
countermanded his order, and the Italians did
not come The work will be done by home
laborers Rali for Ncwtonl
THE Topeka Advocate APPLY remarks that
the present administration seems to be giving
the postoffices to the fellows who sat on the
fence while the procession went by, and letting
the fellows who did the work take their pay in
patriotism.
THE gold and silver Democrats of Ohio have
got together and all are supporting John
Mclean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, for United
States senator to succeed Hanna.
JUDGE FOSTER has decided against Insurance
Commissioner McNall. Nobody will be sur
prised at this. McNall is right, anyhow.
