BRYAN CRIES "CORRUPTION
CHARGES REPUBLICANS WITH MIS-
USE OF MONEY.
Speech at His Childhood Home at
salem, H.. Early This
Morning.

SALEM. ILL.,. October S.-William ].
Bryan began his weeks work with a
speech early today in this city, his former
home. Friends many of whom had known
Mr.. Bryan from boyhood, gave him a
marked reception. Since yesterday visitors
had been coming in from surrounding
towns.
Mr.. Bryan began his speech at o'clock.
and talked nearly an hour He spoke near
the court house. In which his father held
court from 1860 to 1872, and in which the
candidate for President made his first po-
litical speech twenty years ago. He re-
ferred To his boyhood days and friends
with much feeling. Mr.. Bryan said in
part: IF wanted to declare myself a great
man. this is the last place / would come to
make such declaration because you have
known me from my boyhood but If any
one wants to declare that 1 was bad man.
| want him to make the declaration here
rather than any place else.
II hardly feel like making a political
speech here. for this Is a sacred spot to me.
Here my parents are buried and here /
learned the precepts which | have tried to
follow. | know the people here and know
how conscientious they are. When see the
picture of my opponent in the windows of
the republicans | know how conscientious
they must be and how certain that my
election would be injurious to the country
they would not exhibit the pictures upon
the occasion of my return to my birthplace.
1t is to these republicans that l desire to
appeal. When l return to Salem | find va
cant chairs. l find that since my last visit
republicans and democrats have passed
away, fnd they have been crossing over
into the land where differences in politics
do not divide them | wonder if it is not
possible tor US to understand the issues
that there will be less division here
Mr.. Bryan told of the success of the
meetings at the other places visited by
been received. IF the election were held
today he said, there Is no doubt We
would have a majority in the electoral col
lege and on the popular vote. But the re-
publican managers are now collecting from
the monopOlies a large campaign fund
They will buy every vote that can be
bought. They will coerce every vote that
be coerced. They will intimidate every
laboring man who can be intimidated: they
bribed. They will corrupt every count that
be corrupted.
Il do not understand how it is possible for
the plain, everyday republican to close his
eyes to what is going on when he knows
that If he aids these influences to carry
the election this time the same means
can be employed to carry other elections
when those who supporting the repub
fcan ticket today will be opposing the re-
publican ticket
Mr.. Bryan concluded his speech with an
ism and Imperialism. He left Salem shortly
after = o'clock and made ten-minute
speeches at Mount Vernon and Benton. AT
these places he was received by large audi
enCtS. His speeches were along the same
general lines as those delivered heretofore

POpulist Nominee for President Says
Mckinley VIII BE Elected.

Mckinley viii BE Elected.
A special to the New York Times from
Omaha. Neb., says:
Wharton Barker, presidential nominee of
the mid-road populists. is at the Paxton
Hotel. Mr. Barker talked freely of cam
paign affairs, and said he expected to see
Mckinley elected. He added that he was
of the opinion that We're it not for his own
Barker 81 candidacy Bryan would have a
majority in the electoral college, but he
thought the populsts would poll enough
votes in Nebraska. Indiana and West Vir-
ginia to take then away from Bryan and
give them to Mckinley. He said he re-
garded Missouri and kentucky as doubtful
states for the same reason
He denied that the mid-road movement
republican adjunct in purpose al
though admitting that it would be such in
effect. He said: I'VE believe that the ulti-
mate success of our principles will be
fastened by the election of Mckinley, for
this reason:
"A condition Of financial and industrial
stringency and distress is certain to result
this winter, regardless of who may be
elected. Nothing can stop 1t. If Bryan
should be elected this condition would be
promptly laid al Bryan's door, and the re-
publican party would sweep into power
again in 1904 On the other hand if Nc
Kinley is elected IL will settle the repub-
iican party as a party, and the democra ic
party would also go to pieces. because it
would be impossible to hold its various ele-
ments together.
This would bring the principles for
which We contend into prominence, and
from the ruins of the two great parties of
today would come the forces to enable us
to put our principles into effective opera
ton.
Il do not believe that Bryan could be
elected even should he carry New York be-
cause of the losses he will sustain by rca-
of the midroad movement.
When asked as to the strength he expects
to develop at the polls. Mr.. Barker said he
would poll 100000 and possibly 1ooo.0UO
votes. He said if he poIled 100000 in Texas
and 10000 in Georgia, which he thought
possible, his total vote would approximate te
1,000OOO. He figured the vote of Woolley

District Has No Title.

The District Commissioners were recently
requested by Mr.. John S. Barker and other
interested parties to include in their esti-
mates for the ensuing fiscal year the sum
of $4,000 for continuing and improving
Minnesota avenue from Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. where 1t now terminates. The desired
improv is claimed to be most i'm

that while the Commissioners favor the ex-

RISE IN THE PRICE OF COAL
ADV ANCE OF FIFTY CENTS PER TON
ON ANTHRACITE.
The Supply Declared to He Cut or
Acknowledgements by Local
Exchange.

An advance in the price of hard coal in
Washington so cents a ton was decided on
at a meeting held Friday night of the
Washington Coal Exchange, which en-
braces all the largest retail dealers in the
District in Its membership. There were
fifty-four dealers present at the meeting.
and it was unanimously agreed that the
advance was necessity. Each man stated
that he would much prefer to leave the
price Of coal at the old figure. If 1t were
possible, but he was confronted by the
fact that he could not buy anthracite from
the mine at any price
Mr.. William H. Baum, the secretary OF
the exchange, sent out circular today to
all coal dealers and members of the ex-
change announcing the action. In the
course of it he stated that in the face of the
absolute scarcity of hard coal the dealers
had determined to advance their prices
only to the extent of the advance they had
been compelled to pay for what coal they
were lucky enough to secure during the
past week
But now the supply has been cut off alb
sOutely, continues Mr.. Baum, land coal
at wholesale has no price.
Mr.. Baum in his communication calls at
tention to what he predicted in circular
issued by him September 22, and quotes as
follows:
My opinion is that in the event of the
strike being declared off next week the
wholesale price of coal for the next three
months will rule from 80 cents to 81 per ton
higher than their July circular. If the strike
continues for three weeks you will not be
able to buy coal at any price, only what
you can get from the dumps at any old
price,
Mr.. Baum further states 1t as his opinion
that if the strike continues three weeks
longer dealers will be glad to secure coal
at $40 ton wholesale.
No Coal on DUMPS,
In conversation with an Evening Star re-
porter this afternoon Mr.. Baum said there
was absolutely no coal on the regular rail-
road dumps in the city.
THE supply we have been receiving the
past week was mined before the strike"
he remarked, land even If the strike Is
settled this week it will be ten days later
before We can get any more. We did not
desire to alarm our customers but the ao-
vance just made was a necessity. New
York retailers and others in northern cities
have raised the price s. a ton. Ninety per
cent of the supplies members had at
the strike outbreak has been sold at sum-
mer prices. A large number of dealers
stand in this position.
They have sold more coal than they had
on hand, and would gladly pay for coal to-
day what they sold il for in order to keep
their obligations with their customers.

B. and o. road is being unloaded by me to-

Various Metbotls.

Sometimes the tired editor becomes
sardonically humorous when answer
ing the questions of an investigating
correspondent. "What should lady
do when she wants to sneeze in
church?" was the query recently ad-
dressed by feminine reader to the
editor of local paper. He answered
it thus: 'It depends upon why the
lady wants to sneeze in church. If
she is young and pretty and desires
to attract the attention of some eligi-
BILE young man, the sneeze should be
gentle and distinctive; almost any
thing would produce the irritation of
the facial organnecessa"y to effect the
purpose. But ii the lady is old, oc-
cupies her own pew, and wishes to
show off her new bonnet, then vio-
lent sneeze-or a succession of sneezes
lis necessary, and we should advise
upsetting an ounce of cayenne pepper
in the pew" "-Waverley Magazine.
