NEW MAR TINSVILLE, w. Va, De-
toer 3.-W. K, Raymond, Democratic
candidate for Congress, addressed a
large an enthusiastic meeting at the
High School building tonight. The
meeting was called to order by Hon.
E. l.. Robinson, who introduced the
speaker, and for more than one hour
he held the close attention of the
crowd, many being Republicans.
Mr.. Raymond spoke of the danger to
our institutions of fostering trusts, and
showed up militarism and imperialism
in their true light. He said while these
questions had occupied the minds of the
people of the past. that all the evils
emanating from such conditions were
more apparent, and their dangerous
character now understood. He said that
imperialism was, in his judgment the
paramount issue and was a threat TO
the destruction Of the Constitution.
Mr.. Raymond proved himself to be
an orator, and his Democratic friends
were well pleased and the Republicans
surprised at his forceful manner of dis
cussing the issues of the campaign.
Wetzel county will give him the larg-
est majority received by any one in
years.

PEORIA, Ills, October 3.-The Re
publican papers are printing and circu-
lating a story that Cyrus Kingman, of
Kingman & Co., has proofs and evidence
that Candidate Bryan, a week before
the convention, at his home received
and accepted an offer of $3.50, 900 for
personal use, to demand that the silver
plank should be put in the Kansas City
platform.
Bryan at La Crosse last night stated
that he would produce evidence that the
charge was found. If Kingman would
sign the statement.
This Mr. Kingman refused to do. In
fact he is very loathe to talk further
on the subject when approached by
your correspondent. He does. however,
claim that he received his information
from a girl who knows another girl
who is employed by Mr.. Bryan, but he
declines to name the woman or to sign
his statement.
Another interesting fact to note is
that in the Republican press it is stat
ed that MFR. Kingman is of the firm of
Kingman & Co., wealthy and promi-
hem in social circles. They doubtless
confound this man with Martin King
man, the millionaire, a brother of Cyrus
Kingman, who Is a salesman employed
by him.
The story is thought by some to be a
premeditated scheme to advertise King
maj & Co., or to draw attention and
notoriety to their salesman, who is in
charge Of an exhibit at the Corn Car
nival being held here this week.
PORTAGE, Wis, October 3.-Wm. j.
Bryan's attention was to-day called to
a statement alleged to have been made
by a Mr.. Kingman that he received
$150,000 for insisting upon the silver
plank of the Kansas City platform and
he said:
1T Is hardly worth while to deny the
charge of a man who hides behind a
woman whose name he will not give, but
in order that the most INSCRIPTIONS Re-
publican may have no reason for re-
peating the charge, l will say that it is
absolutely false in every particular. No
n ever offered, promised or gave me
that some or any other sum for urging
that plank or any other plank in the
Kansas City platform or any other plat
form. | don't know anything of Mr..
Kingman, but it is said that he is a
cousin of Senator Cullom, and / do
know something of Senator Cullom.
The Senator ought to know whether
his cousin is trustworthy or not, and
If the Senator will state over his own
signature that he believes what his
cousin says, and is willing to represent
him in an investigation of the charge,
| will make him a proposition which
will give him an opportunity to produce
his evidence"
