700 Therapeutics by Prominent Re
publtcans Big Parade--Scenes Along
the Line of March.

One of the biggest republican rallies
of the Fifteenth Ward Marching club
last night. The speaking and banner
raising took place at the room of the
club. corner of Townsend avenue and
Main street There We're probably from
six hundred to seven hundred enthusi-
astic republicans who attended the eX-
ercises. The Rough Riders Marching

After a few remarks by Captain Morse
the following persons were called upon
for speeches: F. L. Averill, George E.
Hall, D. A. Blakeslee, Dr. Mcmahon and
George H. Woodruff. All responded,
and the speeches were very enthusiast

past in that section met with so much
success at the demonstration of last
night.
A handsome banner was raised amid
great cheering, which lasted for several
minutes After the speaking the repub-

AN ALASKA GOLD HUNTERS

AN ALASKA GOLD HUNTERS
LUCK.
An anecdote will illustrate the daring
Of the disorderly element at Cape Nome
City, Alaska One day about the last
of June, just after 1 had first become
strong enough to be left alone on guard,
a man stopped beside me at the door Of
the tent.
Been sick, pard?" he queried with a
sympathiZing look.
"Yes-typhoid,"
bad, that. But there's things
worse
Then after pause: Gould you give
poor devil bit, pard?"
I looked at him sharply at that, for
/ had been doubly warned against
feeding beggars. once started, we
knew we would be 'eaten cut of house
and home" for there are thousands of
houseless. hungry people here who de-
pend entirely on begging, since they
have found they cannot gather up gold
by the shoyelful. They often demand
food and are only restrained from loot
ing the tent by the sight of my revolt
yer. But this man looked so gaunt
haggard and disheartened that I felt
some way as if | could mot refuse to feed
him-resolved, of course, that the rest
of the fellows should never hear of my
foolishness
Hard-tack, bacon and canned beans
seemed a sumptuous feast to the poor
devil and after he had eaten he told
his story His name is Silas Burkett.
He has good claim on Crystal Creek
a few miles out. Had come north with
a good outfit, set it up on his claim and
came into town to get pick, which
article he had overlooked in purchas-
ing tools, On his return to the claim he
had been Mortified to lind tent tools
and provisions stolen--everything was
gone.
Incredible, but true--with men at
work on claims In plain sight. / had
the proof of the truth of his story later.
And this is but one out Of hundreds of
pieces of deviment daily carried on here
murder being frequently added to
theft
Just here I might as well give the re-
mainder of the history of Silas Burkett
or. at least, up to date. When ne
found his supplies and mining tools
gone he was like one distracted. He
went to the authorities, but what could
they do? He had no money ana could
get no work, but for the memory Of
wife and children away down east he
said he should have killed himself On
the morning that / fed him he had not
eaten Tor LllrL ~ six hours,
Well, l gave him breakfast every
morning for d week, silencing my con-
science with the thought that he was
simply consuming the share of the grub
which belonged to me, but which in my
weakness l could not eat,
Then one day he came in half crazed
nv q letter from home. He gave 1t
to me to read, while he sat and cried
like child. Great salt tears ran
down his haggard cheeks, and gasp
ing sobs half strangled him. My own
ewes ran over as / read of the hope
and longing all felt; of the kisses sent
by the babies; of the patient waiting
for husband and father "Burkett,"
| cried, take my rocker and shovel
I'll give you few days rations. Go

HOAR ARRAIGNS BRYANISM


cratic platform, held Mr.. Bryan re-
sponsible for the adoption of the war
treaty and said the democratic leader
was not sincere on his attitude toward
imperialism Continuing Mr.. Hoar
said. 1.-THE American people are be-
coming alarmed by great aggrega tons
of wealth which we call trusts, If the
trust be as bad as Mr.. Bryan repre-
sents it, it Is not, in my judgment as
great a danger as Organism. The
only practical remedy Mr. Bryan sug-
sests is that If any protected article be
manufactured by a trust, that article
shall at once be put upon the free list.
When Mr., Bryan comes to talk of
trusts, he makes the tariff a very real
and vital issue"
The solution for trusts Mr.. Hoar
said. was the laws of trade which will
overthrow them sooner or later. Then
continuing he said: "There is but one
danger That comes from agitators
like Mr. Bryan who would destroy alike
the security of property, the protection
of the courts and the sanctity of the
laws That danger will pass by and
disappear.
But they tell you that great mis-
take has been made in the matter of
the Philippines. / think so too. My
opinion is well known. The policy
which seemed to me best for the coun-
try seemed to me also best for the re-
publican party. If that course had
been pursued we should, in my opinion,
have had the presidential election al
most without a struggle. Our question
now is for the future. / can find no
substantial difference when we come to
any practical declaration of purpose,
between the two candidates or the two
parties on that question. In general,
both parties say they mean to give to
the Philippines self government as soon
as they are ready for it.
'The democratic platform gives no
assurance of immediate independence.
Mr.. Bryan in his speech of acceptance
makes no suggestion of recalling our
troops by executive power or of letting
the Filipinos alone, or of making them

URGED To STOP AT MANY TOWNS
IN THE NORTHWEST.
Acceded to the Wishes of the People
When Possible - Great CROWDS
Much Enthusiasm Was Mani
tested - school Children out.

WATERFOWL, s. D., Oct. 16-With an
original programme of FIVE stops in to-
DAYS itinerary. Senator Hanna's train
stopped at fourteen towns in Minnesota
and South Dakota during the day, with
WATERFOWL for the principal stopping
place. So much pressure was brought to
bear by committees from various points
along the line not included in the itin-
erary, and by Minnesota and South Da-
kota congressman through whose districts
the train ran, that Senator Hanna con-
scented &, make brief salks at as many
stations as was possible to include in the
days travel and at nearly every town of
any Importance through the valley OF the
Minnesota river and across the prairies
Of Western Minnesota and Eastern south
Dakota Senators Hanna and Frye ana
Victor Dolliver made speeches varying IN
length from two TO twenty minutes.
Large crowds We're present at nearly
every stopping place, farmers in some m
stances composing a large part OF the
audience, and the speakers were inter-
rupted many times by quesuoners.
though always apparently in friendly
spirit. In one or two instances in Minne-
sofa, through that part of the state noted
for its dairy industries and stock raising,
the speakers paid some attention to the
tariff question, but the speaking generally
was on the trusts and prosperity.
That's all the people seem TO care
about" said Senator Hanna tonight 'All
they want. apparently. IS TO be assured OF
the continuance Of the present conditions.
The sentiment seems to be all one way,
too. | can see nothing but an overwhelm-
ing vote for Mckinley in this section of
the country
The presence of school children in the
crowds was asfeature of the day, At sew
eral points, notably Marshall, Mimi. the
youngsters were present in large numbers,
600 children of the public schools being
included in the audience at Marshall.

MR.. HANNA ADMITS
THERE rs A TRUST.

Says the senator From
ohio

NANKATO, Mimi. Oct. 16.--At Waseca
Mr.. Hanna was interrupted several times
by people who asked questions about va
rious trusts. Mr. Hanna denied there was
any coal or wire nail trust, but admitted
amid laughter that there was an ice trust.
1.-The decline In the price of wire nails
and everything else that the farmer buys
is over 50 per cent. already" said Mr..
Hanna Things will come down TO a
normal condition and viii be regulated
by the supply and demand just as all
business Is regulated You can no more
interfere with the laws that govern trade
than you can with the laws which gov
ern nature itself Every commodity man
ufactured in this country is made by the
highest-priced labor In the world, The
iaboring man, II wire nails are high, gets
his share of the price"
A stop OF forty-five minutes was made
at Mankato, where Messrs. Hanna and
Frye spoke to a large assemblage from
platform in the public square. Senator
Frye devoted most of his time to the dis
cussion of the tariff. Interruptions were
frequent, many questions being asked the
Maine senator in regard TO the silver
coinage. but the audience was entirely
good-natured and cheered the badinage
between Senator Frye and his question
crs.
Senator Hanna said In part:

years | want to say that Just as sure as

simply because he has an insane desire

all that We have built up In these forty
years, to talk Of Withdrawing the United
States from the place where MIR, McKin-

say God forbid But there Is something
that comes closer home than all that. IL
is the welfare and comfort OF our wives

should influence the head Of every house
"In 1895 there were some people in this
country who believed Mr.. Bryan was at
least honest In his opinions. Every day
adds to the number OF men who voted
for him In 1870 and who now say they do
not believe be was ever honest ia his in
tentions. that he has been playing the
part Of hypocrte. and that for this
same insane desire for Office he will sac
rince even his own self-respeet."
